Chapter 399 [0396] Retreat!

Before this, Lux had never taken a course on combat command, and her military theory was only common sense. But when she faced the burning demon essence of Mordekaiser, she still showed the ability to fight. The first generation of fearless pioneers stationed here resolutely followed her guidance and stood in front of the bright translucent singularities.

These ancient and noble warriors danced with their souls, guarding the remaining brilliance for Lux and stopping the shadow creatures who replaced Mordekaiser to extinguish the translucent singularities.

Of course, they only stopped them.

As the black magicians who once ravaged Valoran, although these shadow creatures are now inhuman and extremely distorted, they are not easy to deal with when they really fight.

After being completely reduced to the nourishment of demons, these shadow creatures did lose their sanity and could not cast spells as before, but some of them seemed to have some spell-like abilities because of their high attainments in magic.

Even though they could barely last a round in front of Lux, they were almost instantly annihilated by the strong light... But that was because the opponent was Lux, who used light magic!

When facing the soul warriors, these shadow creatures finally showed their difficult side. On the one hand, they were controlled by Mordekaiser, and on the other hand, they instinctively hated the strong light. They twisted their bodies naturally and tried their best to extinguish the annoying light. Anyone who dared to stand in front of them would be attacked at all costs.

The mad dog-like attacks and endless shadow spells brought considerable trouble to the soul warriors. Fortunately, these guys had no brains. After suffering a little loss at the beginning, the soul warriors soon found that as long as they relied on the light-transmitting singularity for defense, they would stupidly rush over and get beaten.

With this discovery, the battle became simple.

The soul warriors who could persist until now were all elites among the elites without exception. The enemy had such an obvious weakness, so they naturally had to grasp it firmly!

So, Morteng, who had just released a large number of shadow monsters and thought he had won, was surprised to find that these shadow monsters were quickly destroyed one by one by the soul warriors. Except for being caught off guard at the beginning, they hardly caused any real trouble...

Morteng was dumbfounded this time.

Realizing that these shadow creatures might not be his opponents, Morteng had to go down himself - it was not good to extinguish the light-transmitting singularity directly, but he could deal with the soul warriors guarding the light-transmitting singularity first!

You can be resurrected, but by the time you are resurrected, the magic power of the light magician will have long been exhausted!

Well, that's it!

Thinking of this, Morteng's figure disappeared in the shadows, and a moment later he came to a light-transmitting singularity, wielding the shadow-shaped blade without hesitation, slashing at the soul warrior guarding the light on the side.

Coincidentally, the target chosen by Morteng this time was none other than Lux's uncle, Jakka. Compared to those old-time soul warriors who had fought bloody battles with Morteng for many years, although Jakka was also a great man, he was still a little inferior. Morteng locked him as a target, which seemed like picking on the weak.

Jakka, who was in a panic, barely avoided the attack and faced Morteng's next attack. Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, he simply made up his mind.

"Here, Lux!"

The next moment, Morteng's shadow blade slashed Jakka's soul, but at the same time, Jakka also forcibly defeated the translucent singularity around him.

Sensing the shattering of the translucent singularity, Lux summoned an ultimate flash without hesitation.

When seeing Jeka break the light-transmitting singularity, Morteng had already realized that something was wrong, but unfortunately the explosion of the light-transmitting singularity delayed its action. When the final flash came on, it was still clearly illuminated...

"Uh--"

With difficulty holding up a shadow shield, Morteng dragged his tattered body and barely rushed out of the range of the strong light.

Escaped back into the shadows, this time Morteng was really a little numb.

How did things turn out like this?

That light magician who came from nowhere... Who is she?

It didn't feel it before, but this time it was hit by the final flash again. It clearly felt the indescribable power in it, as if she was looking for a way to completely defeat itself!

Isn't she a Demacian?

How can there be such a sharp mortal?

Where did she learn these spellcasting skills?

Don't Demacians regard mages as a flood and beast?

Why are those stubborn soul warriors willing to assist a mage?

With thousands of thoughts and doubts, Mordekaiser truly felt what it meant to be powerless.

In the shadow fog, the light-transmitting singularities still flashed with dim brilliance. They were like stars in the night sky, anchoring Lux's position and direction. The soul warriors guarding these light-transmitting singularities were like warriors standing by the beacon tower. On the one hand, they protected the light-transmitting singularities from being destroyed at will, and on the other hand, they would give warnings when Mordekaiser appeared.

Combining the two, although the fortress was still filled with shadows, Lux seemed to be at home and felt at ease.

No, this can't go on!

After trying several more times, Mordekaiser, who was almost wiped out by the ultimate flash, finally gave up unwillingly to continue fighting.

If he continued to fight, let alone escaping from the shadow world - it would be good if he didn't die directly in front of this light elemental mage!

However, it was too late to withdraw now.

Nocturne burned his demon essence and consumed those demon servants. If he chose to leave again this time, it would be impossible to leave the Shadow Realm through the gate of the fortress and return to Runeland.

Although Nocturne has always been very patient, he knows his own business. After being hit by Lux's ultimate flash several times, he has been extremely weak.

Without emotions as a supplement, this kind of weakening cannot be recovered - if he doesn't leave the Shadow Realm, Nocturne will have no source of replenishing emotions!

This is a dead end!

He tried to sneak around Lux ​​again. After being discovered, Nocturne did not hesitate at all and went directly into the shadow and never showed up again - the shadow gradually faded, and the Nightmare Demon seemed to have given up on continuing to attack the fortress and planned to run away.

Gradually, the thick black fog dissipated.

After confirming that Morteng had left the fortress, Lux once again stood on the fortress's top. Although she had repelled Morteng's attack, she was not at all relieved.

Morteng retreated too decisively. Even though Lux wanted to stop him, she couldn't stop him at all.

This was slightly different from the initial tactical plan of Lux and Ino.

The original plan was that demons were difficult to catch, so Kalja and Ino led them into a trap, dealt with Evelynn first, and let Lux hold Morteng back, and wait for Ino and Kalja to come back, and then deal with Morteng together.

But now it seems that Lux can't hold Morteng back.

However, Lux really had no other choice. Morteng, who burned the demon essence and summoned a group of strange shadow creatures, had a fighting power far beyond her expectations after fighting for his life.

If it weren't for the unexpected assists from the soul warriors, even the outcome of the battle would still be unknown...

Now, Morteng ran away.

But Lux couldn't chase him.

The Shadow Realm is huge, and the consequences of chasing alone may be quite serious.

In this case, all Lux can do is wait silently - she can't chase alone, but if Ino can bring Kalya back in time, the three of them may be able to catch Mordekaiser together.

……………………

Driving the dark clouds, Mordekaiser escaped far away from the fortress guarding the gate of the Shadow Realm.

Having swallowed the bitter fruit of failure, Mordekaiser now needs to take a good rest - although there are no living people for him to devour his emotions, it can sometimes replenish some strength through some unstable shadow cracks that sometimes appear and sometimes don't appear.

It's better than nothing.

This little bit of strength is not enough for it to have any substantial recovery, but at least it can make its now tattered shadow body recover a little.

What does this tattered sack-like body look like!

In addition, after a little repair, Mordekaiser needs to contact Evelynn again.

Presumably this silly guy has realized that Tam is unreliable, right?

Well, I must think of a way to make it stand on my side and follow me to break through the defense of the fortress...

In a sense, Morteng really hopes that Evelynn can learn from her mistakes, but he doesn't want Evelynn to become too smart, otherwise it will be difficult to use.

In the black fog, Morteng just floated in the air, moving away from the fortress, trying to find an unstable channel connecting to the Rune Land and see if there is that unlucky mortal who can contribute emotional value to him.

Hmm, wait, did I forget something?

While looking for the nearest shadow rift, Morteng was thinking about where this subtle feeling of discomfort came from. When it was about to reach its destination, the nightmare demon realized that Evelynn's embarrassing escape before was probably to escape from the shadow world!

In other words, the destination where he wanted to replenish his extreme emotions and adjust himself a little might actually be a chaotic battlefield? !

Realizing this, Morteng did not hesitate at all and turned around directly.

The Shadow Realm is large enough. Although there are not many strange shadow rifts, there are not too few. In this state, it is better not to take risks easily. Without those shadow creatures, Mordecai is actually a little unsure.

However, just when Mordecai began to turn around, an ice wall blocked its way.

"Good!" Ino, who hurried back to the Shadow Realm, was obviously brightened after seeing Mordecai, "I was worried that I couldn't find you!"

Although he didn't know what happened between Ino, Vayne, Tam and Evelynn, when he was blocked by the ice wall, Mordecai secretly complained in his heart.

How could it be such a coincidence that he met her just after leaving the fortress?

Although Lux didn't rush to chase for the sake of safety, Mordecai didn't know this. Seeing that Ino looked like he had been waiting here for a long time, he didn't hesitate at all and went directly into the shadow, and followed the shadow in a panic without any hesitation.

It would be troublesome if he was really left behind!

But just because Nocturne was leaving didn't mean that Inno would let it go easily.

Unlike Lux, who was unsure and didn't want to act on her own, Inno, who had Karya as her guide, had just captured Evelynn and controlled Vayne, could be considered full of confidence.

Especially after seeing Nocturne's extremely embarrassed look, she had realized the outcome of the battle at the fortress.

In this case, instead of beating the drowned dog, should we let the tiger go back to the mountain?

So, under Kalya's constant urging, Ino activated his remaining magic power and created an ice and snow storm in an attempt to stop Nocturne.

Nocturne, who was enveloped by the spell, was still a bachelor. Seeing that the ice blade was as sharp as a knife, it simply transformed itself into a shadow form and allowed these ice knives to pass through its body.

This method of response will not cause Nocturne to be too seriously injured, but it will still affect Nocturne's subsequent strength and recovery. It can be said to be a very decisive method.

Ino, who thought he could at least slow down Nocturne for a while, couldn't help but be a little dazed when he saw this scene.

In her impression, elemental beings should be as powerful, pure, and indestructible as Sephikar.

What she never expected was that Nocturne, a demon with a shadow body, would actually play new tricks with his elemental body.

Like smoke and flowing water, Nocturne in this posture can only be described as slippery - unless it is extremely restrained elemental magic such as light elemental magic, ordinary spells can only penetrate the body and cause no damage at all. No substantial harm!

Seeing that this guy was about to escape into the darkness and disappear, Ino once again made an ice skateboard to catch up with the ice floe, and asked hurriedly to Kalya:

"Isn't this guy running too fast?" Ino's tone was full of worry, "It's completely different from the previous demons!"

"Different demons represent different extreme emotions, so it is naturally impossible to generalize." Kalya said in a serious tone, "However, we may not be able to catch this guy...Thanks to Vayne, she is our best guide."

"I remember that when she left the Shadow Realm, her whole body was about to melt?"

"Elemental bodies under special circumstances may not be able to adapt to the external environment." When talking about this topic, Kalya's tone was somewhat solemn, "Vien accepted the power of the shadow, and after leaving the shadow realm, her body... There will be a collapse, which I have seen a lot, but now as long as she is released, she will recover quickly. "

"So, we are going to chase Vayne and let her hunt Nocturne, just like we followed her to chase Evelynn before?"

"almost."

Kalya’s Little Class·Elemental Discomfort:

In different worlds, the acceptance of elemental bodies is different. This does not only happen to elemental bodies - void creatures come from the void to Runeland, and their bodies have to evolve little by little. The giant gods enter Runeland from the heavens. It is necessary to give up the body of heaven.

From this perspective, Runeterra is really a very special place.
