lol: Bind Syndra at the start

“?” Ryan.

Under Lion's puzzled and surprised gaze, Ledros slashed at himself with his greatsword.

Chapter 452 Beast Fighting Game

The evil spirits of the Shadow Isles do not truly reach the end after death.

The Curse of Ruin takes Shadow Isle as its core and creates an independent space similar to a 'barrier' around it.

Here, death and time seem to be alienated into another concept.

The dead soul will return to a special place deep in the black fog. The black fog... or the power of the curse will create some kind of fantasy based on the soul's memory that is enough to destroy its heart.

If the soul is deeply trapped in this process, then the soul power will be divided up by the black fog and then thrown into the deepest 'reward pool'.

But if you can endure this process, and your will remains strong after enduring the pain and suffering that has been magnified countless times, then the power of the black fog will be at your disposal.

Ryan had seen descriptions of these things when he read the background story before.

Most evil spirits are unable to resist this kind of corrosion. Even if they can resist it once, they cannot resist it a second or third time...

This is why, after a thousand years, there are only a few evil spirits left on the vast Shadow Island who still have their own will.

The other souls had already been transformed into irrational and resentful spirits in repeated reincarnations.

But the story didn't say that this seemingly cruel setting was a bug for Ledros, and he would also learn how to exploit the bug!

Ryan watched the headless evil spirit in front of him slowly transform into a gray aura and dissipate, silently crossing out one of the only two things in common between Ledros and his former stupid roommates.

He felt that it was inappropriate to use the word "simple" to describe a ruthless person who would kill himself in order to fix a bug.

Ledros's actions drew the attention of others nearby.

Vladimir, Maura, and Yorick all came over.

Only Calista, who had just regained her humanity, was still standing in the distance. She should have known what Ledros was planning.

"What happened?" Vladimir asked.

When Ryan finished telling what happened, Vladimir pondered for a while. It seemed that he had lived long enough and seen too many ruthless people.

Therefore, he didn't feel anything special about Ledros's choice. Instead, he sensed something in the rules. "This rule reminds me of an ancient beast fighting game."

Ryan: "Beast fighting game?"

"A long time ago, the nobles of Valoran created a beast fighting game. They would collect extremely ferocious beasts from all over the place, then put them in a closed environment and let them kill each other.

"When only the last beast remains..."

"They'll keep it?"

Vladimir frowned, but when he realized it was Syndra who interrupted him, he quickly gave a kind smile, "Guess again?"

"Will you let it go?"

Sindra was guessing seriously.

As an Ionian, her understanding of cruelty is about the same as an elementary school student's understanding of advanced mathematics.

After all, Jhin, who is called the Golden Demon in Ionia, would probably not even make a splash if he were placed in the abnormal history of the Valoran continent.

It didn't take Ryan long to deal with Gangplank, and if Jhin was in front of Gangplank, he probably wouldn't be able to hold on for long either.

Vladimir didn't let Sindra guess again, but announced the answer directly, "They will put people in again and let them fight the beast. If someone dies, they will put another one in, and this will continue until someone kills the beast.

"The winner will be rewarded with fame, money, and gifts. The last two are not important because in that era, fame can bring wealth."

"Just like the boxing world in Noxus now?" This reminded Ryan of Sett who was far away in Ionia.

"Completely different." Vladimir shook his head. "The supplies of that era were not as abundant as they are now. The nobles were not so extravagant as to set up such a large stall simply for pleasure. Think about the process again."

Ryan recalled the process, and then it suddenly dawned on him, "I understand."

He gently rubbed Sindra's cheek, as if to wipe away the doubt on her face, "The key to the whole game is the last step. Whoever kills the beast will gain honor, but they won't give the beast time to recover.

"The person in front is more like a consumable. Once the beast is exhausted to the point of being extremely weak, someone chosen by the nobles will take away the honor."

This appointed person could be a subordinate of the nobles, or he could be a noble himself.

It's called a game, but every word sounds like it's about eating people.

However, what is even more frustrating is that this kind of thing has always been a matter of course in the ancient times of any world.

but......

"I don't think Black Mist has the brains for this."

According to the settings that Ryan understood, any rule in the black fog was a choice made from the cursed instinct.

Not to mention that Viego has been in a sleeping state. Based on his personality, even if he was awake all the time, he probably wouldn't be able to play this kind of game.

"Hopefully."

Vladimir's gaze fell into the distance.

He always felt that there seemed to be a pair of eyes hidden in the black fog, watching their every move at all times.

Ryan also looked over, but he was not looking at the 'eyes' that indicated any difficulty.

Instead, he looked towards a place where things were suddenly surging.

Even though there was still some distance between them, the roars of the wronged souls in the black fog still carried over with the wind.

Calista seemed to see more than Ryan and the others, and she walked directly towards that location.

The Black Mist fears Llane and Syndra, but does not reject Kalista.

The surging black fog was about to swallow up Kalista's figure.

But at this moment, a spear shining with faint light suddenly appeared in Kalista's hand.

She raised her spear and stabbed the nearby wronged souls...

This action did not cause the black fog to "backfire" because the battle between evil spirits has never really subsided.

But the reason why most evil spirits fight is to plunder each other's power.

And now, Kalista wants to speed up Ledros's rebirth.

The more dead spirits there are, the more power there is to reshape Ledros.

With Kalista's participation, the black fog soon subsided.

Kalista returned from the black fog, and there was another figure beside her.

Ledros's spirit became solid again.

This time he took Kalista's hand and walked towards the crowd, as if he was the most anxious one among them.

After picking up the greatsword from the ground, he said to Ryan and the others who had been waiting for a long time:

"follow me."

Chapter 453 Ganges River

The terrain of the Shadow Isles is not complicated.

But the existence of the black fog is like adding countless maze walls that are enough to block vision and perception in the middle of the originally simple terrain.

This makes it more difficult for anyone or any soul who wants to explore the island.

Why did it take the helpers sent by Yorick hundreds of years to figure out the terrain of the Shadow Isles?

Because many positions have long become "forbidden zones".

The power of the curse spread across the entire island. After alienating death and time, space obviously could not remain immune.

Ledros and Kalista walked in front.

Ryan and others followed behind them.

Further away was the swirling black fog that wanted to get closer but didn't dare to get too close.

They returned from Yorick's graveyard to the vicinity of the original Great Rift Valley, and could vaguely see the vague outline of the library in the distance.

"Next, you have to follow me closely, and it's best if you can move in the same way as me."

Ledros reminded the others behind him.

"it is good."

After receiving the response, Ledros's steps became strange.

He no longer walked in a straight line as normal, but instead kept swinging back and forth as he moved forward.

One step left;

One step right.

The toes always kept close to the gray ground, like invisible gravel on a barren plot of land.

This way of walking reminded Ryan of the movie Dune.

He walked forward, imitating Ledros's manner.

At first there was no change, or rather the only change was that the speed of movement suddenly slowed down.

But after sliding like this for a while, Ryan noticed changes in his surroundings.

The black fog that had been hiding from them suddenly became closer.

To be more precise, we approached them without realizing it.

Ryan raised his head and looked at the back of Ledros, and once again had a new understanding of the number one "suck-up" in the Rune Universe.

If Ledros were also from Earth, he would most likely be the kind of nice guy who posts walkthroughs to everyone on the game forum.

After all, he not only found the bug that allowed him to refresh himself by committing suicide.

Judging from his current actions, he seems to have found a bug to break the curse blockade.

As he swayed left and right in a funny way, the surrounding environment began to change constantly.

The road may be flat just a second ago, but suddenly huge rocks or dead branches appear.

It's like the continuity of space is disrupted here and then reorganized in a disorderly manner.

The black fog that had always been half-covered by the lute was finally forced to face the real thing.

The black fog around Vladimir and Maura was fine, it was just that the vengeful spirits that should have been chattering became unusually quiet.

But the black fog around Ryan and Sindra was like boiling water.

Countless vengeful spirits turned into gray soul power in extreme fear, and were then swallowed by the nearby black fog.

at last.

After crushing a piece of dead branch, Ledros came to the edge of the Great Rift.

Ryan walked up to him and looked down at the Great Rift Valley.

In fact, when he was looking for the library before, he had seen the scene below the Great Rift Valley from afar.

But at that time, the plains below the Great Rift Valley were unremarkable.

And now...

After fixing the bug, the true appearance of the Great Rift Valley was finally revealed.

The black fog around Ryan was in gaseous form, and this translucent form allowed him to clearly see every vengeful spirit in it.

But the black fog below the Great Rift Valley seemed to have turned into some kind of sticky, thick black river.

Under Ryan's gaze, the river formed by the black fog continued to surge, and countless vengeful spirits with strange shapes kept jumping out from under the river surface, but were then swallowed up by the waves.

The resentful whispers and terrifying roars were amplified by the rift, and it was like countless sounds exploding directly in his ears.

If the color of the river was changed to yellow, Ryan felt that this river would be in line with his impression of the underworld.

But this is the Runeverse.

There is no hell and no underworld.

The dead souls will only go to a world of nothingness.

He looked at Ledros beside him, "Is this the depths of the Black Mist?"

Ledros shook his head. "This is the Ganges, for it will exist forever."
