LOL: Let me touch your steel

There are some contradictions...

Zhang Xu shook his head, trying to calm down his emotions, which were not very volatile.

Anyway, Viego got what he deserved. It was better to die at the hands of the carrier of the original demon and the great wizard who had mastered the runes than to die at the hands of a few weak ADs, right?

Not to mention that before his death, Viego was labeled a clown by Isolde with just one sentence.

Let him die with endless love for Isolde, it's a good ending.

"Pah-pah-pah."

Three consecutive applause sounds woke Zhang Xu from his thoughts. Looking in the direction of the sound, he was shocked to find that it was Vigus who was clapping.

As Viego's accomplice and lackey, Vigus actually applauded Viego's death...

This picture is quite abstract.

Seeing that she had attracted everyone's attention, Vigus shrank into her wide robe and spoke in a calm yet somewhat depressing voice:

"It's a good thing he died."

As she spoke, Vigus glanced at Nila inconspicuously. Looking at the smile on Nila's face, the disgust in her eyes was evident.

She hated this guy and hated the smile on her face all the time.

Looking at this never-ending smile, Vigus became upset and wished she could wipe out this color immediately.

But she is just unlucky, not stupid.

These guys could even kill Viego, so killing her would be no problem at all. She didn't want to anger these guys.

But the development of things was bound to disappoint her, as Ryze was obviously interested in this unusual Yodel.

In the past years, he had met many Yodels. Especially during the period of unrest in Runeterra, Ryze had seen many Yodels fleeing from the war, but he had never seen a Yodel like Vigus, who exuded a depressed and decadent temperament.

Aren't those Yodel people who live in their own little world optimistic, cheerful and positive?

How could such an outlier appear?

Ryze took two steps forward, then stopped when he noticed Vigus's alert turn. "What did you mean by that? Viego...was he asking for your help?"

Vigus sighed deeply. She didn't want to answer Ryze's words. She wished these guys would ignore her and leave, leaving her in this melancholy world.

But Ryze gave her a very scary feeling. After much hesitation, Vigus still spoke in that depressing accent:

"I discovered his hidden motives, regained the soul of his deceased wife Isolde, and reunited with her to share a happy and fulfilling marriage. I hate happiness, I hate joy. So, it's good that he died."

???

Do you want to listen to what you are talking about?

Hate happiness, hate joy?

Nila finally noticed the depressed dwarf, and she had a strong urge to let Vigus truly feel the joy and see if she really hated happiness as much as she said.

Unfortunately, Nila didn't have time to take action.

The black fog that had begun to thin after Viego's death began to move again.

Some kind of evil power began to rise on the Shadow Island, and the ownerless black mist seemed to be attracted by this unknown power and began to surge in one direction.

Under the hazy moonlight, a man emitting a faint green glow and holding a lantern slowly walked out.

He absorbed the black mist energy dispersed by Viego and successfully condensed his ghost-like body into a brand new body. When Viego walked in the world, constantly searching for the soul fragments of Isolde, he always followed behind Viego.

All the vengeful spirits created in the process, these dark energies that Viego didn't care about at all, were collected by him.

And Viego's departure also allowed him to take over all of Viego's remaining property, completing his last piece of the puzzle!

Now he is the new Lord of Shadow Island!

And now is the wonderful moment when his ambition comes true!

Looking at this completely unexpected figure, Zhang Xu gradually widened his eyes.

Although this guy's condensed body made it difficult for Zhang Xu to identify him, the iconic lantern and sickle still revealed his identity.

The Chain Jailer, Thresh!

Thresh clenched his fists, feeling his new body and more terrifying power, and a look of joy gradually appeared on his face.

Although things were somewhat different from what he expected, the final result was not much different - in his expectation, Viego would eventually die at the hands of the group of Sentinels of Light, rather than at the hands of these guys in front of him.

Fortunately, the ending is the same.

Thresh waved the long sickle in his hand, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up, outlining an evil smile.

How wonderful!

Now he can finally control the entire Shadow Island!

but...

Before that, you have to clean the house.

Thresh's eyes fell on Zhang Xu and others. He saw clearly how Viego died.

He certainly wouldn't be so arrogant as to think that he could defeat the enemy who had beaten Viego without any chance of fighting back, but Thresh still walked out, exposed under the moonlight and under the gaze of these people.

Perhaps, it is a long-term plan that requires some witnesses?

Or maybe, you want to have some fun with these guys?

Thresh pursed his lips, and the smile on his face became more evil.

Looking at Thresh, who was behaving strangely, Kaisa tilted her head in confusion.

This guy... doesn't look like he's particularly mentally sound.

Why do I feel like the guys on Shadow Island are all weird?

Not only Kassa was confused, even Zhang Xu was full of confusion.

No, buddy, how dare you?

Do you really think that by accepting Viego's legacy and stacking ghosts for thousands of years, you can face so many of them at the same time?

How come he is as confident as Viego who just appeared?

Zhang Xu took two steps forward and looked at Thresh in front of him with interest. If this guy really thinks he can face so many demigods at the same time, then Zhang Xu can only say...

Boy, you are invincible!

Chapter 213: The Past

Thresh waved the sickle in his hand and did not pay attention to Zhang Xu. Instead, he looked past Zhang Xu's body and looked at Ryze behind Zhang Xu.

Although thousands of years have passed and the long years have changed Ryze's appearance greatly, Thresh can still sense a sense of familiarity in his figure and face, as if... he has seen him somewhere before.

Where have you seen him before?

Thresh's gaze gradually moved down to Ryze's exposed skin. Looking at the traces of runes on Ryze's skin, a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"Long time no see...Ryze. Is your teacher Tyrus...still alive now?"

Thousands of years have passed since the time he spent on the Blessed Isles, but Thresh has not forgotten it. In his heart, he still hates Tyrus, the man who took his place and made him guard the underground for fifteen years!

It was precisely because of the various negative emotions that grew during the long time underground that he has come to where he is today.

"you know me?"

Ryze looked at the strange figure in front of him, raised his eyes with some doubt, and tried to identify who this guy was from the various details on Thresh.

But whether it was the huge sickle and lantern in Thresh's hands, or his newly condensed body, they were all unfamiliar to Ryze.

"Have you forgotten me?... This really makes me sad! Ryze."

"Anyway, I gave you a book on rune magicians! Moreover, we worked together to steal the water of life. Ryze, you wouldn't have forgotten all this, right?"

Thresh laughed loudly, and a strange green light emanated from his body. Although he had a real body, he still looked like a ghost.

Hearing this, Ryze subconsciously took two steps back and his face changed drastically.

As Thresh spoke, long-forgotten memories awakened in Ryze's mind. In a trance, Ryze returned to his youth.

At that time, he was far from being as calm as he is now, with a bad temper, and even worked as a thief for a while before being accepted as an apprentice by his teacher Tyrus. Although he had a high talent in rune magic, his teacher was always reluctant to teach him more advanced magic.

The young Ryze did not realize that this was a training from his teacher. Instead, he angrily ran to the underground of Hylia City to look for books about magic and study secretly.

Until one day, he was discovered by Thresh, who was in charge of guarding the underground of Hylia. In order to save his life, he told Thresh the identity of his teacher and told him that he hated his teacher very much.

This resonated with Thresh, who hated Tyrus and believed that Tyrus had taken away everything that belonged to him.

The two began to cooperate, and the content of the cooperation was to find the water of life. With the help of Thresh, Ryze successfully avoided the guards guarding the water of life, and even watched Thresh kill people for this.

Although their cooperation was successful at the time, Ryze regretted his decision countless times in the days that followed.

His decision brought a disaster that was enough to destroy Fukumitsu Island.

If Viego's willful behavior and stubbornness were the root causes of the outbreak of the Curse of Ruin, then his act of stealing the Water of Life was the real reason that led Viego to the Blessed Island.

Because at that time he stole two portions of the Water of Life, one of which he drank on the spot, and the other was put in a water bag and given to Thresh, which eventually became a tool for Thresh to attract Viego and seduce him.

"You are... Erlok Greyr!"

Ryze's hands trembled slightly as he called out the name in his memory. He then met Thresh's changed face and his expression changed slightly:

"You planned everything in the beginning! It was you who bewitched Viego!"

After thinking clearly about the key point of that year, Ryze finally realized this.

Although he had suspected what role Thresh played in the entire Blessed Island and Curse of the Ruin incident a long time ago, it was not until today that he was truly certain.

"Ryze, it seems that you have indeed become a qualified and powerful magician now."

Thresh did not answer Ryze's question, but instead laughed twice:

"You really should thank me for what you have today!"

Zhang Xu glanced at Thresh not far away, then looked at Ryze beside him, and a look of confusion gradually appeared on his face.

There is actually a connection between the two of them?

And judging from the tone of their voices...it seems like they have a pretty deep connection!

"Yes, I do want to thank you very much."
