LOL: Let me touch your steel

“A living person who can talk to me, or rather... a fellow human. We are all survivors who have survived the void, so I hope I can become her companion.”

"I know you may not trust me, but I think you should worry about her instead of me."

Herself?

What does this mean?

There was a visibly hint of confusion in Kassadin's eyes, and his heart tightened.

Could it be that there is some hidden danger in Kassadin?

"From her words, I can sense that she longs for the outside world just like me. But... unlike me, her image has completely changed."

"Maybe in your eyes, I'm just a monster that looks like a human. But to those people outside, Kassa is a person that looks like a monster."

"The discussions and comments of those ignorant people outside are what we should worry about."

Zhang Xu could sense that although Kassadin's tone of voice just now was a little harsh, he actually did not have much ill will towards him. He was just simply concerned about the safety of his daughter.

So Zhang Xu didn't mind chatting more with Kassadin.

"So that's it?"

Kassadin nodded thoughtfully.

I have the same wish as Kassadin when she was a child!

As for the other problem Zhang Xu mentioned... Kassadin actually doesn't have any good solution.

Kassadin's current appearance is destined to make those outside fear her from the bottom of their hearts, and even slander her.

As long as you come out into the world and deal with people outside, strange looks and rumors of monsters are inevitable.

Even though Kassadin has always been committed to helping those outside, those she has rescued will definitely regard her as a monster.

People will instinctively fear Kaisa, who has already coexisted with void creatures.

But Kassadin believes that his daughter can overcome such problems.

His daughter has grown into an outstanding young girl with a strong will.

Such criticism will not defeat her.

"You're right."

Kassadin was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "You really don't have any ill will towards Kai'Sa. With your strength, if you have any ill will, I may not be able to see my Kai'Sa at all now."

"So, I believe what you said. I believe you really want to be a companion with Kesha. Although Kesha has become much calmer and tougher now, I am still very worried. If you can be with Kesha, I might feel more at ease."

Zhang Xu's face looked a little strange.

How does he feel...

It seems like Kassadin is easier to talk to than Kaisa?

Just with these few words, you believe in yourself?

He felt so relaxed as if he had the aura of the protagonist... Although what he just said was indeed the truth, and his tone and expression were very sincere, he couldn't believe it so easily, right?

Moreover, from what Kassadin said, he has decided to separate from Kaisa?

The father and daughter were finally reunited. Not only did Kassadin not understand, even he, an outsider, could not quite understand Kassadin's choice.

Chapter 22 The Balance of Power Must Be Maintained

Zhang Xu frowned, his face full of confusion:

"Why do you have to leave?"

A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Kassadin's mouth.

If possible, he didn't want to be separated from Kassa.

But...he knew in his heart that he didn't have much time left.

The void seemed to have not caused any erosion to his body, but in fact, the void eroded him from the inside out. Although there was still no significant change on the outside, in fact, his body was almost overwhelmed.

The fact that his voice had turned into the hoarse and terrifying tone it is now is the best proof of the erosion by the void.

Although the various equipment integrated on his body can resist the erosion of the void to a certain extent, it will also drag him into a greater abyss.

Kassadin spread out his palm, exposing the purple crystal in his palm to Zhang Xu's sight.

"This is the amulet I found before I set foot in the void land of Icathia. It allows me to walk freely in this strange world and resist the constant erosion. Over the years, it has become one with me."

"But gradually, I found that although it helped me resist the erosion of the void, it was also constantly eroding me."

"The so-called protection is just a change from the void to this thing."

Zhang Xu gradually opened his eyes wider, and a hint of purple blossomed in his eyes.

this thing...

He is very familiar with it!

After hunting so many void creatures in the void, Zhang Xu could recognize at a glance that this was the heart of a void creature!

To be precise, it is the fossil of the heart of a void creature and also the crystallization of void energy.

With this thing, no wonder he can resist the erosion of the void... because this thing itself will constantly erode Kassadin's body!

This isn't like the symbiotic relationship Kai'Sa has with the Void creature within her.

Although Kassadin stole the ability to walk freely in the void through this crystal, now this crystal may be able to pulsate continuously like a heart.

Until the end, it completely absorbed enough nutrients from Kassadin's body and completely devoured and annihilated Kassadin.

Noticing Zhang Xu's stern expression, Kassadin smiled freely.

"In order to delay this terrible erosion, I found countless ways. It was not until the end that I realized that the method to prolong my life was actually in my hands."

As he spoke, Kassadin raised the Void Blade that rarely left his hand.

The Void Blade jumped twice, emitting purple light.

In comparison, the crystal in Kassadin's palm was much dimmer.

"This Holok Void Blade has a great origin. Its original owner was Holok, a warrior of the Shurima Ascended Legion, a legendary powerful Ascendant. He once killed countless void creatures with this weapon."

"Since then, this weapon has been used many times to kill countless evil people."

"This weapon has a certain restraining effect on void creatures. And it is by using this Void Blade that I have found a delicate balance. This balance can help me resist the erosion of this crystal from within and slow down the speed at which it erodes me."

"Of course, as I continue to draw energy from the void, this balance may be broken at any time. If I want to maintain my life, I must maintain a balance of power. For me, balance is more important than anything else."

Kassadin raised his head and looked at Kaisa not far away, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised unconsciously:

"But the erosion from the void is irreversible. This erosion will keep my body in a state of pain. However, this pain is actually nothing to me. The pain of losing my wife and children and my family is far greater than the pain of my body."

"This kind of pain can actually spur me on to keep searching for the traces of the 'prophet'."

Zhang Xu fell silent.

Kassadin said it easily, but the truth may not be so.

The pain caused by this erosion may be far beyond his imagination.

Just as he said, he may really not have much time left.

This fragile balance may be broken at any time.

"So, this is why you refused to let Kassa go with you? You don't want her to see your pain?"

"Yes."

Kassadin nodded calmly: "From the day I set foot on the land of Icathia, death is no longer scary to me. I haven't even thought about walking out alive. I am already satisfied to be able to see Kai'Sa again before I die."

"I'm not sure how long I can live... maybe ten summers, maybe one summer, or maybe just a few months. I don't want Kesha to see me like that, so it's always good to leave a good thought in her heart."

Looking at Kasa's back not far away, Zhang Xu whispered:

"But perhaps for Kai'Sa, being able to spend more time with you is the most important thing."

"Do not."

Kassadin shook his head, then raised his head with some emotion:

"In a hellish place like the void, having a thought is much better than having no thought at all... Perhaps, after meeting Kaisha, I will also have thoughts in my heart, and I won't die so easily..."

"Of course, there is also a little selfishness as a father."

"As a father, I always hope to be a great person in front of my children. I think, at the end of my life, I must be in a very miserable state, right? I don't want her to see me in such a miserable state."

"I'm counting on you, Zhang Xu. Please take good care of Kesha for me."

Looking at Kassadin's face which showed no signs of abnormality, Zhang Xu couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart.

This kind of entrustment doesn't seem like entrusting someone with an orphan...

Instead, it sounds more like what an old father would say when handing his daughter's hand to another man at a wedding.

Of course, Zhang Xu would not express this feeling.

God knows if Kassadin will get furious after saying this.

Who is Zhang Xu? I will end his life! ——One-click configuration of Kassadin's talent.

Tsk...

This scene is creepy just thinking about it!

Facing Kassadin's eager gaze, Zhang Xu just nodded seriously.

When an old father looks at you with this kind of eyes, hoping that you can take care of his children, it is really difficult for Zhang Xu to have the idea of ​​refusing.

"But...my words won't work. You have to make Kaisa agree with your decision."

In other words, he can agree to Kassadin's request, but he cannot be the evil guy!

Chapter 23: Gaze into the Void

A group of three people set out on a journey to the exit of the Void Land.

Zhang Xu didn't know how Kassadin convinced Kaisa, but it was not difficult to see from their performance and reactions that Kaisa finally compromised after their negotiations.
