Chapter 266 [0264] The Power that Must Be Accepted
Swain had already realized the price of power when his hairline was still low and the nobles' evaluation was still promising.
At that time, Swain had already witnessed the fall of those who blindly pursued power - even in his family, many people formed cliques and engaged in corruption in pursuit of demonic power that did not belong to them.
At the same time, Swain also saw many people who were lost in power. They were immersed in the illusion of "invincibility" and acted recklessly and without scruples. The final result was often sudden disasters and miserable deaths.
These experiences and experiences made Swain cautious about power from the beginning. Compared with using extraordinary force, he preferred to solve problems with unity and wisdom.
Swain, who was clear about rewards and punishments and treated everyone equally, trained his soldiers to be able to surround and kill powerful enemies.
When Noxus expanded to Shurima, the strategy he proposed avoided many unnecessary confrontations.
It was based on these two points that when he was in Uzeris, Swain relied on only an elite force under his command to successfully kill the opposition, force the port governor to surrender, and finally raise the flag of Noxus high - he proved with his actions that the empire can continue to expand without pursuing absolute power.
Everything seemed to be going well until the outbreak of the Ionian War.
There were many reasons for the defeat in the Ionian War.
Among them, the greed and short-sightedness of the Noxian high-level officials were indeed important factors, but similarly, the lack of Noxian strength was also an important factor at the level of extraordinary force.
Originally, Swain could still comfort himself that if Commander Darkwill had followed his own plan at the time and there were not so many extraordinary forces, the outcome of the war in Ionia would still be unknown, but this time, facing the Zaun Mage Corps that made its debut in Piltover, Swain finally broke through.
Extraordinary power can really influence the situation of the war!
Now these soldiers who are willing to follow Swain are Swain's last trump card. If he wants to rectify the chaos and return to the Immortal Fortress, Swain must rely on these loyal soldiers!
However, right in front of him, these soldiers were slaughtered by extraordinary power, with almost no room for resistance. In this case, he finally understood the choices and feelings of those who pursue power in a sense.
Demonic power is dangerous.
But Swain has no choice.
At this moment, Swain finally made up his mind-I will not be a human being!
……………………
As if grinning, the one-eyed man appeared above Swain's head again.
At the same time, a burning power poured in from the wound of his broken arm, washing his limbs and bones.
The black cloak fluttered without wind, and Swain gritted his teeth, not making even a sound.
Accepting demonic power is not a good choice.
But Swain has no choice.
On the battlefield, the soldiers of Noxus are retreating.
At the back of the battlefield, Swain was enduring the transformation of his body by the power of the devil.
In order to protect as many elite warriors as possible, Swain almost "embraced" the power of the devil.
As Lamer's hoarse cry like a night crow went straight from his ears to his heart, Swain's eyes turned scarlet like a devil.
The next moment, a pair of wide wings opened from his back, and Swain flapped his wings, left the main camp, and headed straight for the academy wall.
Swain, who suddenly appeared and was very important at first glance, naturally became the main target of several mage groups-although attacking the retreating Noxian soldiers at this time could gain more, their scoring performance in the simulation training was never based on the lethality of bullying.
So, when they saw Swain, the leaders of the eight groups all changed the direction of attack at the same time.
Thunder spear, flaming hand, mud golem, ice storm, high-pressure water flow
The extremely powerful spells almost all shot at Swain, as if to tear him apart in an instant.
However, Swain, who had accepted the power of the demon, was no longer the same as before - although the demon body was not enough for him to directly resist these extraordinary spells, under Lamer's insight, he could clearly find the flaws of these spells.
The industrial joint spellcasting trained by Kalya is essentially like an assembly line, disassembling and combining the steps of the spellcasting, and assigning specific people to be responsible for specific tasks. The advantage of this is that it can achieve an effect close to "casting spells across levels", but the problem is that compared with the spells of true extraordinary people, this kind of joint spellcasting actually has very clear flaws.
Even if there are special team members responsible for the stability of the spell and for removing interference, not all interference can be easily removed!
Under the surge of demonic power, Swain easily saw through the weak points in the spell structure. He stretched out his arm and stretched out his finger to tap it, and the high-pressure water flow that was just powerful turned into a low-pressure shower.
The mud giant turned into a mud-footed giant, fell to the ground on one leg, paralyzed.
The flaming giant hand turned into a flaming hoof, losing its original deterrent power.
The icy storm rolled higher and higher, and after losing control, it went straight into the sky.
Zeli's Thunder Spear, which can be stretched and swung freely, will bring a chain of lightning when swung, is the worst. Although this spell is quite stable, Zeli's control over this spell is limited. If Zeli hadn't dissipated the spell when she saw the situation was not good, Swain would probably have taken the spear and performed a self-destructive trick!
The Zaun Mage Corps, which had just been invincible and easily crushed the elite soldiers of Noxus, fell into an awkward situation in the first round when they saw Swain.
When seeing Lux's green light and giving up spells and hiding behind the wall, many people were muttering things like "the other party is too perverted".
This situation, which can be called a deus ex machina, has never appeared even in the most difficult joint simulation spellcasting challenge!
However, unlike these rookies who were still unwilling to accept it, after seeing Swain easily crack these spells, Lux's heart sank to the bottom.
It is no exaggeration to say that if the spells just now were reversed, Lux thought that she would not be able to deal with them as easily as Swain.
If we consider the demon eye that appeared above Swain's head again...
Lux felt a little uneasy in her heart.
However, no matter how bad it was, she had to stand up - looking at Swain's posture, as long as he approached, the walls of the academy would definitely not be saved!
At this moment, I am afraid that only I can stand up to stop him!
"I have to face the demon." Kalya's voice sounded again, "Are you nervous?"
"What are you nervous about?" Lux snorted, and at the same time, she tightened her grip on the hilt of her sword, "Demons, it's not like I haven't beaten them before!"
Kalya's small class · The blessing of the hidden demon:
As long as greed is aroused, Tam can devour the target; as long as the mystery is seen, Lamer can counterattack.
