Chapter 289 Love and the Loved One
The fresh air with a hint of sea flavor on the island had long since dissipated, replaced by oppressive and polluted air.
Although Viego did not bring the black fog of Shadow Island with him, his body became the largest source of black fog, spreading black fog outward all the time.
Especially when he walked towards Senna step by step, the black fog around him became thicker, like a jar of spilled ink, polluting the visible range.
Viego's attention had long been attracted by the woman in front of him. His eyes were filled with sadness and loneliness, staring at Senna tightly, from top to bottom, across her gently rising and falling chest, as if he was looking at some rare treasure.
Even though his walking had become extremely slow, the distance between them was still slowly closing.
Twenty meters. Fifteen meters. Ten meters, three meters, one meter.
Senna fell to the ground helplessly. Under Viego's gaze, her joints seemed to be covered with glue, and she was completely unable to react. She watched until the other party's shadow and black mist enveloped her.
"Isolde. My love, I'm here to take you home."
Viego bent down very gently, and stroked Senna's cheek with his cold palm. At this moment, his eyes dripped a few drops of ghost flames, just like the tears shed by ordinary people when they are sad, and the ghost flames slid down his cheeks.
"There will be no pain, I will be very gentle!"
He spoke softly, and with his other hand, he put the Ruined King Sword on his waist and gently placed it on Senna's chest.
Lucian's eyes were red with anger when he saw this scene, but the excessive blood loss made him a little fuzzy, let alone standing up to fight Viego.
He could only watch as a faint green light appeared on Senna's chest. Viego half-hugged her, and the hand on his chest slowly stretched out.
"Viego!!!"
Lucian's eyes widened and he roared intermittently.
His face was full of anger, but even though he had already torn Viego into pieces in his mind, in reality, he couldn't even make a sound.
"Shh!"
Viego's movements were very light and slow.
But when his hand was inserted into Senna's heart, the process was not long, and his hand was slowly pulled out.
His face was full of mixed emotions of happiness, ecstasy, and intoxication.
Found it.
Touched
His lover, Isolde.
Viego seemed to be able to feel the fragrance of the soul of the person he loved most, and he was intoxicated by this moment.
The moment of meeting!
Boom! ! !
A cyclone suddenly erupted around him, sweeping back the tentacles that had just stretched out from the pool.
Although he repelled the enemy, it was as if the previous cyclone was just a subconscious action. He had no intention of looking back at the pool, but stared at the blue light ball in his hand with a loving gaze.
Through the blue soul light, he could clearly see the soft face of a woman.
It was the eyebrows and eyes he thought about day and night, and the lips he had kissed countless times.
The woman looked at Viego, her eyes full of complex emotions, which seemed to be mixed with too many emotions, affection, pain, resistance, and sadness that were difficult to describe.
"Isolde. I finally see you again!"
Viego laughed in his words, and his ecstasy was beyond words.
When he and Isolde looked at each other affectionately, Nagakaporos, who had been waiting for an opportunity for a long time, stretched out countless tentacles from the pool. The tentacles, which were thicker than the torso of a tiger shark, almost covered the sky.
But facing the tentacles that covered the sky and bounded him, Viego did not even turn his head, his eyes were always fixed on his lover.
It was as if the whole world and the changes in the outside world had nothing to do with him, and his world was only the one.
Boom!
The tentacles wrapped around Viego's place, and Oenoy flashed quickly, picking up Lucian and Senna one by one.
The moment Oenoy took the two away, the thick tentacles crushed heavily on the ground, dust was raised, the hard rocks on the ground were easily crushed, and the water in the pool surged outward.
In just a moment, the land had turned into a swamp.
Buzz!
A deep green light flashed in the place wrapped by the tentacles, and the power of destruction exploded in it.
Roars like the roar of ghosts sounded one after another, and the tentacles that were originally tightly wrapped were actually stretched open.
Among them, Viego held up the Ruined King Sword with one hand, still facing the pond with his back, looking directly at his lover.
His arrogance and disregard instantly angered Nagakabouros.
More tentacles surged from the pond and the ground, and as they waved, they were covered with traces of magic. The originally gray-brown tentacles were stained with a layer of divine white light in the blink of an eye.
"Back off!"
Viego snorted coldly, and his overbearing voice was like a king's rebuke. Just the sound alone almost made Lucian and the other two, who were already in a bad state, faint.
The tentacles from Nagakabouros collided with the black mist wrapped around Viego and were bounced away again.
At this time, Lucian and the other two had time to catch their breath.
With the help of Onoi, Lucian and Senna escaped nearly 1 kilometer away.
On a high slope, Lucian and Senna snuggled up to each other, leaning weakly on the rocks, quietly watching the battle above and below, with tension in their eyes.
The current situation is very clear. Nagakabouros can't do anything to Viego.
The good news is that Viego doesn't seem to want to fight Nagakabouros.
Viego is completely devoted to the lover he just met. He allows Nagakabouros to attack and just defends himself.
"Has such a guy been defeated by the Empire?" Oenoi couldn't help asking.
"Yes, he was defeated by the people sent by the Empire. The people are students of President Trifari."
Lucian coughed weakly twice. After Oenoi treated his wounds with the Baru method, he felt that he was much better than before.
It's a pity that Senna is still in a state of loss and no one knows when she will get better.
Oenoi just observed and concluded that Senna's soul was torn apart and she could only rely on her will to recover.
After knowing this news, Lucian didn't even dare to think too much. He could only hold Senna's slightly cold hand tightly and silently wish her well in his heart.
Hearing Lucian's words, Oenoy frowned slightly: "The demon of Trifarion Council President Ryan?"
"Demon?"
Lucian was a little surprised by what Oenoy said.
He didn't know if the demon Oenoy was talking about was the same as the demon he knew.
He didn't know much about the mysterious Council President Trifarion, but he had traveled with his student Seraphine.
"Yes, that guy is a demon." Oenoy's eyes were full of anger, "At least thousands of Baru people died in his hands."
"Noxus' invasion?" Lucian asked carefully.
He remembered that the Blue Flame Islands were forcibly opened because of Noxus' invasion.
It is said that Council President Trifarion was once the deputy commander of the Eastern Front, and the Bilgewater area happened to be divided into the Eastern Front. So it is not surprising that he invaded.
Oenoy took a deep breath and shook his head, saying, "He is very strong. At that time, I couldn't communicate directly with Nagakabouros. But the feeling he gave me at that time was like me facing Nagakabouros. When I stood in front of him, I felt powerless from the bottom of my heart."
"Compared with Viego?" Lucian asked curiously.
In the battlefield below, Viego showed the domineering posture of a king, and his aura suppressed Nagakabouros.
With Lucian's vision, he could only see the surface of the battle. At least in his opinion, Viego could easily suppress Nagakabouros by splitting his attention and doing two things at the same time, which was undoubtedly stronger than her.
"No comparison!" Oenoy snorted coldly, "He's not as good as Nagakabouros."
Lucian was silent for a while, looking at Nagakabouros who was unable to do anything to Viego below, he felt that this was Oenoy's favoritism as a sea beast priest, but he did not deny it:
"I see. Then it seems that Senna and I don't have to worry too much."
He tightened Senna's hand, feeling a little sad.
Using the power of light to hunt darkness in the dark is the duty of the Sentinel of Light, and it is also the path that Senna and he believe in.
Although their strength is insignificant, they have a clear conscience.
Even though they have such strong strength, they let Viego, a threat, go out. He despises such behavior.
No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one book, one bar!
On the air-space battleship, Seraphine could clearly hear the conversation between Lucian and the other, and she could even hear Lucian's soul voice remotely.
As if she had heard something interesting, Seraphine rolled her eyes and blinked cutely at her teacher.
"He must be thinking in his heart. Since I am stronger than Viego, why don't I take action?" Grid said calmly.
"Is that so? The teacher is really good. He can see through other people's hearts without any special talents." Seraphine praised her teacher very familiarly.
She has always understood her teacher's thoughts. The teacher also has justice in his heart, but this justice is only for Noxus, not for other regions or the human population.
When there is an invasion of alien creatures, Noxus will stand at the forefront, but this does not mean that Noxus will sympathize with the weak among humans.
Her coming has already represented the will of the empire.
Viego's level is only worthy of being equal to her. This is the answer given by the empire.
It can be said that it is the arrogance of the empire or the frivolity of the empire, but this is also the style of the empire.
Only strength can win the respect of the empire.
If he can't even touch the empire's territory, how can he really get the empire to pay attention to him?
In the eyes of the empire's top leaders, Viego may just be a chess piece to test the people behind him.
Seraphone retracted her chaotic thoughts, turned her eyes back to the battlefield, and sighed:
"Although he is weaker than Nagakabouros, Viego is more adept at it."
She did not doubt the judgment from her teacher. Since Ryan said that Nagakabouros was stronger than Viego, then the fact would be so.
But Ryan also said that Viego would win in this battle.
"Nagakabouros is still a beast in nature. Because of the beliefs of the Baru people, it has a sense of order, but this does not mean wisdom." Grid said.
"Is human wisdom the key to controlling power?" Seraphine seemed to understand.
"Not really." Grid glanced at her, "Generally speaking, the instinct of beasts is far stronger than combat wisdom. Under the same strength, only a few people can use wisdom to defeat beasts."
"That's why. Nagakabouros's strength is very ordinary."
To be honest, Nagakabouros's attack is like a storm, which is not ordinary at all.
Even a demigod like Viego has already lost the upper hand in the battle. Although he seems calm on the outside, he is actually trapped in the tentacle array and cannot escape.
Viego's calmness is more like a pretense in front of his lover.
But somehow, Seraphine always feels that Viego is not at a disadvantage as the situation suggests. Instead, those waving tentacles have a feeling of exhausting their moves and having no spare power.
Of course, with her eyesight, she can only see so much.
"You can see the ordinary, which means you have grown a lot." Grid smiled and said: "For beasts, gaining divinity is not all good. While gaining some intelligence, they will also lose most of their instincts."
"Lose instincts?"
Seraphine felt that she was only a step away from the answer, but she lacked an opportunity and could not think of it no matter how hard she thought.
"Nagakabouros has lost the courage to fight to the death, which is very fatal in a battle of the same level." Grid added calmly.
"I don't know about Nagakabouros's situation, but Viego just met Isolder. Does he still have the courage to fight to the death?" Seraphine asked the question in her heart, and at the same time she suddenly realized it.
She finally understood what was missing in Nagakabouros's attack.
What was missing was the determination to get rid of Viego even if she was seriously injured.
Nagakabouros's divinity came from human belief in life, which was completely repulsive to Viego's black fog. If Viego's black fog spread over Bilgewater, even if Nagakabouros was not killed, it would naturally die.
It was obviously a life-and-death battle, but it lacked ferocity and determination.
If Darius was in the same situation, even if he had not yet leaped into magic, Seraphine believed that Darius could end the battle earlier.
But the result of the battle might be tragic.
Viego died, Darius was seriously injured.
Or.
Viego died, Darius died.
For Seraphine's question about Viego, Grid answered without much thought:
"On the contrary. Viego used to have concerns, and he would not allow any mistakes before finding Isolde. But now, the shackles in his heart have been half untied, and even if he dies for her now, Viego will do it without hesitation."
"Is this love? It's terrible." Seraphine expressed her feelings.
She yearned for this kind of dreamy love, but she also felt it was not worth it.
The reason
Seraphine looked at the ball of light in Viego's hand with disdain.
After all. It was a mistake
With the help of talent, Isolde's current thoughts were clearly visible in front of her.
Viego's love may be very morbid, or this love may cause countless people to lose their lives.
Those who lost their lives can curse Viego, those who are about to suffer disasters can hate Viego, and those who are transformed into vengeful spirits can resent Viego.
But there is only one person who should not spit on Viego because of what he did.
Isolde is just a mortal girl after all.
Seraphine sighed softly and whispered softly:
"After all, not every story has a happy ending."
