Chapter 913 [0908] Swain's Choice

The exchange between Kalya and the Mother of Masks was brief, but the information behind it was huge - both sides thought they had won, but they didn't know who would lose in the end.

The outcome of this struggle may take a long time to come out. For the Mother of Masks, this was an idle move, but for Kalya, it was a long-term move.

Everything will have a result, but not now.

The most important thing for Kalya now is to pull the undead in the Land of the Undead, give the Noxians a little sense of insecurity, and see what path the other party will take under his stimulation.

Is it a desperate gamble to the end, or to pull back at the last moment.

……………………

After passing through the curtain of life and death, Kalya successfully entered the Land of the Undead.

Even if he was mentally prepared, the cost of passing through the curtain of life and death was far beyond Kalya's expectations.

The elemental body he created for himself dissipated like quicksand under the erosion of death, and his small world could not be accommodated and accepted by death. When Kalya took a step and passed through the curtain, he was able to be himself again for a rare time.

For Kalya, this was an ancient experience that he had not experienced for a long time.

On the Giant God Peak, he took the initiative to give up immortality, so in the land of the undead, he did not regain the body of an ascender, but walked on this desolate and silent land like an ordinary mortal.

The curtain of life and death was like a waterfall, washing away the erosion of the void on Kalya, and also washing away the many defenses that Kalya had taken to resist this erosion. After entering the land of the undead, Kalya felt a wonderful peace.

This wonderful sense of peace made Kalja slow down his pace and subconsciously began to look around. Unfortunately, there was nothing worth appreciating in the Land of the Undead. All he could see was endless desolation. Although there were occasionally things that looked like ghosts floating slowly by, their faces were blurred and they were rapidly melting away and becoming part of this world.

This was a little different from what Kalja thought.

Didn't Aatrox claim to be the master of the Land of the Undead? Why did he seem to have no control over this place?

Kalja had a heavy responsibility and he didn't have time to hang out in the Land of the Undead!

However, just as he had this thought, a team that looked like a large group finally appeared in Kalja's field of vision at the far end of the desolate horizon.

Although the misty black fog in the Land of the Undead prevented Kalja from seeing the specific appearance of those people, he was sure that they were not the same as the ghosts he had seen before that were merging with death.

That was enough.

Kalja quickened his pace.

When he finally approached the team, he was very surprised to see a familiar face in the team.

Well, okay, not really familiar - Jericho Swain.

It seems... he seems to be training a group of undead.

It can be seen that these undead were all great figures in their lifetime, and they were often quite capable in their every move.

In Kalja's eyes, the only thing these undead lacked from becoming an army was discipline.

And this is what Swain is training.

He is trying to make this loose group more compact so that they can understand cooperation and coordination, but from the current situation, this training does not seem to be very successful.

So, Kalja interrupted him without any psychological burden and asked him where Aatrox was.

And Swain, who was suddenly called by his name, turned around and saw Kalja who appeared in front of him at some point, and immediately fell into a stagnation.

"Who are you?" Swain was a little confused, "I didn't register you."

"So, will you register every undead who has obtained the qualifications of the Black Mist Legion?" Kalya, who had recovered himself, was somewhat familiar, "Did Aatrox push everything to you?"

"You answer my question first." Swain frowned, "Who are you? Why did you appear in the land of the undead?"

"I am Kalya." Seeing that Swain seemed to be ready to call these undead to beat him up together, Kalya could only shake his head helplessly, "Aatrox should have mentioned me - I came here this time, I want to find him."

"So, you are finally dead?" Swain's tone was as flat as if he was asking someone if they had finished their meal, "Aatrox said that you will definitely join us in the end..."

"I'm sorry I'm not dead yet." Kalya interrupted Swain, "So, let's save a little time and take me to see Aatrox."

Swain hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to call someone out from the team and let him take Kalya to find Aatrox.

However, Kalja waved his hand.

"Take me there." He emphasized, "This matter is related to Noxus, you should be interested."

If Swain had not become an undead, I am afraid that his heart would have stopped beating when he heard this sentence.

Death means stagnation, and everything about the dead will stagnate at the moment of his death - and even in the last moments of his life, after experiencing multiple betrayals, Swain's heart is still full of love for Noxus.

Even after realizing that he was deceived, he felt guilty towards his motherland.

So, when Kalya said that this matter was related to Noxus, Swain, who had heard Aatrox say a lot about Kalya, felt something was wrong at the first time.

In this situation, he finally didn't care about training these undead, just said "Follow me", and walked ahead.

Following Swain's footsteps, Kalya found that in addition to the dead silence, another feature of the Undead Land is the inertia of the law.

Here, everything seems to be stretched a lot, and if this feature can be used well, it may be possible to do many magical things.

Then, just as Kalya was silently thinking about the difference between the Undead Land and the real world, Swain finally brought him to Aatrox.

"Ahaha, my dear teacher!" When Aatrox saw Kalya, his eyes seemed to light up, "The masked man didn't lie, you really will embrace death-"

"Oh, what a pity, I'm not dead yet." Kalya snorted, rejected Aatrox's overly enthusiastic hug, and looked at him with a very subtle look, "It sounds like someone has reached a deal with the Mother of Masks, and even betrayed his teacher for it?"

"Huh?"

Aatrox looked at Kalya in disbelief, he lowered his head, circled around Kalya, and looked at him carefully, while looking at him, he was amazed and shook his head frequently.

"If you are not dead, why did you return to your original appearance?" Aatrox seemed unwilling to give up, "It's not shameful to embrace death..."

"The curtain of life and death will isolate everything." Kalya sneered and looked at his traitor, "Don't change the subject, Aatrox, what kind of agreement did you reach with the Mother of Masks?"

"It's unspeakable, unspeakable." Aatrox shook his head, "When you really become a part of death, you will understand."

"It seems that the Mother of Masks attaches great importance to me." Aatrox's appearance reminded Kalya of Maokai, so he simply did not continue to ask, but took the initiative to change the subject, "Since I am not dead yet, let's talk about something about the living-you should know the dark well leading to the Immortal Bastion in the Land of the Undead?"

"I know." Aatrox nodded, "It's deep in the Land of the Undead. The guy who calls himself Mordekaiser is watching it very closely, as if no one can snatch it away."

"Very good, I came to the Land of the Undead this time to snatch it away." Kalya nodded with satisfaction, "I hope to start from the Land of the Undead, raid the Immortal Fortress, and give Noxus a little shock of the undead."

"The dead should not interfere with the living." Aatrox refused without hesitation, "I remember you reminded me of this when we met last time."

"This is not to interfere with the fate of the living." Kalya waved his hand, "If it was just to cause trouble for Noxus, I wouldn't have to go to you at all - this matter is related to the void."

Hearing the void, Aatrox finally frowned.

If there is any reason that can make him take the initiative to cross the boundary between life and death and reach out to interfere with the Rune Land behind the curtain of death, the void is one of them.

And it is the most legitimate one.

Because of this reason, it does not violate the promise of the Mother of Masks at all.

"So, the Noxians have converted to the Void?" Hearing what Kalya said, Aatrox's first reaction was extremely real, "That's too bad, I'm afraid Jericho will destroy his beloved homeland with his own hands..."

"It hasn't come to that point yet." Kalya interrupted Aatrox, "This is a test for Noxus, a test that will determine the future fate of Noxus."

As he said this, Kalya simply told Aatrox the whole cause and effect of the matter - the kind that concealed nothing, whether it was the Freljord part or the Noxus part.

"So, this is a trial, a test of whether Noxus is a friend or foe." Kalya concluded, "All the questions have been given, and only one person is left to distribute the test papers."

"What you said seems to be true, but it is still too reluctant for the Black Mist Legion." Aatrox did not agree immediately, "The dead cannot easily interfere with the living, and the curtain of death cannot withstand opening again and again."

"I don't need direct interference." Kalya stretched out two fingers, "and this is also the tacit consent of the Mother of Masks."

"Ah?" Aatrox was obviously a little slow to react, "Didn't you tell me?"

"If not, why am I here?" Kalya spread his hands with a smile, "I think this is enough to explain the problem."

Aatrox blinked, seeming a little confused.

What Kalya said seemed to make sense - if his purpose was not recognized by the Mother of Masks, how could he appear in the Land of the Undead alive and kicking?

Since the Masked Mother approved of this and this matter can also attract more people to fight against the Void, then I, Aatrox, must help!

With this thought in mind, Aatrox immediately patted his chest.

Then, he realized belatedly that he had Swain, who was loyal to Noxus, beside him. Although Swain's combat power was not worth mentioning in the Black Mist Legion, since his arrival, the entire Black Mist Legion has gradually become orderly. In this case, Aatrox has regarded Swain as his right-hand man.

Now, the left-hand man may not be in a good mood.

However, when Swain heard Kalya's plan, he did not look depressed at all.

Not only was he not depressed, but he looked very happy.

"That's a good choice." Swain nodded, seeming very satisfied with it. "The great power of Noxus is used in the wrong place. If it can be corrected, it would be great."

"Ah?" Seeing Swain nodding frequently, Aatrox already suspected that he was about to become part of death. Now his consciousness was blurred. "This is a test of life and death!"

"No, it's an excellent transformation." Swain obviously has his own opinion. "There is nothing wrong with the spirit of Noxus. The mistake is that I and most of the Noxians misjudged the situation, which eventually led to the gradual decline of the empire."

"..."

"And to reverse this situation, innovation is the only way." Swain continued, "Noxus's problem is not inside or outside, but in vision. This test will open Noxian people's eyes!"

Although he is already an undead, Swain's tone is quite sonorous and powerful, as if he has returned to the time when he was the commander-in-chief and led Noxus forward.

"And if it fails, then Noxus will be completely finished, am I right?" Aatrox scratched his head in surprise, "This doesn't look like a good thing, does it?"

"Noxus will not fail." Swain was very determined, "I know Rell, she has been persecuted by the Black Rose since she was a child, I believe she will definitely lead Noxus and completely break away from the past!"

Everyone agreed with Swain's plan for Karya.

Shabeka and Shabek, who came after hearing the news, chattered and hoped to participate in it to a greater extent, but were ruthlessly suppressed by Karya.

Then Zhao Xin also got the news, and the Debon General, who was completely standing on the perspective of Demacia, was also very satisfied with this plan - contrary to Swain, he believed that Noxus would definitely not pass the test.

Karya's small class · Stubborn dead:

People kissed by death will be fixed at the time of death - the specific manifestation is that they are extremely stubborn. Even if they are undead and will be exposed to a lot of information, most of their ideas will still remain at the time of death.

Swain is full of confidence in Noxus, that's why.
