Lux's Magic Penetration Rod

Vayne's appearance is undoubtedly a "double authentication".

Then, just when Lux wanted to move over and join Ino who was following Vayne, Vayne unloaded the crossbow on her back, extinguished the torch, rolled on the spot and disappeared into the darkness. .

Lux immediately illuminated the place where Vayne disappeared, but there was nothing in sight, without any trace.

Due to the chaos of the elements, the light even tended to be distorted. Lux couldn't tell for a while that Vayne simply used some method to hide her figure, or whether she had found an entrance to that sub-plane and entered the sub-plane. .

To be cautious, Lux carefully approached the place where Vayne disappeared, and then waited there honestly.

After a few breaths, Frey came.

Behind Frey, Ino quickly arrived with a sword.

"Vayne disappeared here. She rolled once and disappeared." Lux told Ino what had just happened. "It was very abrupt. There was no trace within the elemental field of vision."

Ino nodded expressionlessly, but actually he was waiting for Kalya's response.

"The elements here are disordered, and there is a high probability that it is the entrance to the Shadow Realm." Kalya naturally understood what Lux meant, and immediately came to the conclusion, "Thinking about your previous simulation training, my world is a personal second place. noodle."

"We entered the simulation training through the magic circuit carved on the forbidden magic stone." Ino's heart moved slightly, "Is there something similar around here?"

"That's right, there must be an anchor point between the secondary plane and the real world!" Kalya said firmly, "When the elements are disordered, this anchor point is difficult to find, but there are definitely traces to follow!"

Hearing what Kalya said, Lux and Ino instantly felt reassured.

Unknown things and unknown situations may be more difficult.

But if there are traces and examples to prove this matter, it would be much simpler!

An anchor to anchor the present world, right?

try to find!

Like a human-shaped searchlight, Lux's palm lit up with a strong light.

The bright light dispersed the nearby shadows, leaving Frey, who was at a loss next to him, stunned.

Doesn't this little girl use a cross blade?

How does it look like he is also a mage?

Isn't Demacia a country where magic is forbidden? Why does the density of one or two mages seem to be higher than that of Freljord?

At this moment, Frey's head was full of question marks.

But unfortunately, now is obviously not the time to ask this question.

Lux and Ino did not avoid her during their brief exchange just now - although Frey couldn't hear Kalya's words, she at least knew that the two seemed to be looking for the reason for Vayne's disappearance!

Moreover, judging from this seemingly prepared look... they seem to have been waiting for this moment for a long time!

No wonder I always felt that Ino was cold to me before. It turned out that her target was not me at all, but Vayne!

But, what did they care about about Vayne?

Could it be that these two people also want to hunt demons?

Seeing Lux and Ino using various means to search for the possible location of Vayne's disappearance, Frey was filled with doubts.

……………………

Lux and Ino naturally didn't have the mood or time to care about Frey's thoughts.

Under the guidance of Kalya, the two used the knowledge they had learned about space and planes to quickly scan the entire nearby area.

Everything looked normal, there were no strange lines on the ground, and there was nothing abnormal around - although Lux and Ino couldn't clearly remember what each stall looked like when they "went to the night market" , but at least under the strong light, everything is harmonious under the shadow of this dark area.

After turning around, Lux and Ino became a little anxious when they saw that the shadow was getting lighter.

What's the problem?

It’s not like the entrance to the sub-plane was only revealed the moment Vayne disappeared, right?

Although the two people's basic theories of magic were very solid, Kalya's lectures only briefly touched on knowledge about space, time, planes, etc. Faced with this situation, they were a little confused after all.

However, Kalya discovered the key to the problem.

"Extinguish the light, Lux." When Lux and Ino were helpless, Kalya finally spoke, "Look at the shadows - there are many things that cannot be seen under the strong light."

Put out the light?

Kalya's words surprised Lacus. For a light magician, light is the source of security, especially in this situation that looks very strange at first sight. With the light in his hand, he doesn't panic.

When the light is extinguished, it always makes people feel a little nervous!

However, out of trust in Kalya, Lux nodded and then dispersed the light in her palm.

The light went out and everything was dark.

Then, just when Lux was confused, she was surprised to find that although the surroundings were pitch black, there was actually a gap between light and dark between pitch black and pitch black!

There are always areas that are “darker than pitch black”!

There was no need for Lacus to remind her, but Ino also noticed this beside her. The two of them carefully looked at the darkness around them, and then they were pleasantly surprised to find that the darkness that seemed to be able to absorb everything actually turned into an extremely huge magic. Array!

Moreover, what surprised them even more was that the shape of this magic circle looked very familiar!

"It's really interesting. I've never heard of this." While Lux and Ino were carefully looking at the magic circle, Kalya spoke again, her tone full of surprise, "This is really a man-made thing. Secondary plane!”

With Kalya's guidance, Lux and Ino quickly found the entrance to this secondary plane.

"Should we go in directly?" Looking at the astonishing darkness in front of her, Lux asked, "Is this a consciousness space or a physical space?"

"Entity, the sub-dimensional magic circle just now is very stable and can carry the body to enter - wouldn't Vayne disappear?" Kalya's tone was very pleased, and seemed to appreciate Lux's caution, "Let's go, this is it. It should be the entrance to the Shadow Realm... It’s so interesting, the Shadow Realm is actually man-made!”

"..."

Lux and Ino did not speak, but held hands and stepped forward. Then like Feng Xu Yufeng, they walked through the dark shadows and crashed into the lightless barrier.

……………………

When they opened their eyes again, both Lux and Ino felt as if they had entered another world.

The feeling of climbing Mount Targon came back again, and an energy they had never seen before was eroding their bodies.

"This is shadow energy." Kalya warned immediately, "Don't accept it like the light of heaven, reject it as much as possible, and don't be infected by it!"

"What will be the consequences of being infected?" Lux asked in a relaxed tone while putting a layer of lightless shield on her body, "Well, the shadow energy here doesn't seem to be very strong. "

"It can't be compared with the brilliant light of the sky." Kalya couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "But believe me, mortals' bodies will soon decay when they are in it, and slowly transform into shadow form."

"Shadow form? Elemental body?" Lux blinked, trying hard to distinguish the surrounding scene, "Like the body you want me to help reshape?"

"The shadow elements are not ordinary earth, water, fire and wind." Kalya explained, "The body created by the shadow elements filled with negative energy can only be described as weird... There is one in front of you, you can take a look."

Lux tried her best to open her eyes, but she couldn't see anything clearly.

Instead, next to her, Ino made a sound of "Oh, that's disgusting."

"Did you see anything?" Lux was a little anxious, "Why do I only see darkness?"

"You're lucky if you can't see it." Ino's tone was quite subtle, "Is this the shadow creature that Kalya said? Why are there eyeballs and tentacles all over the body!"

Ino's description made Lux's hair stand on end - it would make her feel sick if she could see it, but it would be a bit scary if she couldn't see it.

"It's time to brighten the light." Kalya reminded, "Don't use strong light, just a dim light."

Lux breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and the shield on her body that blocked the erosion of shadow energy lit up slightly. Within three steps, she was finally able to see a little more clearly.

Then Lux knew why Ino said "so disgusting".

Although the shadow creature closest to her ran away in a mess after seeing the light, judging from its "back" - if it still had a front and back - this guy was indeed twisted to a certain extent.

Judging from its escaping posture, it looks like an octopus twisting on the ground!

Moreover, it is an octopus that alternately uses its eyestalks and tentacles to run!

A numb feeling came over her scalp, and Lux ​​felt her goosebumps stand up.

"Don't be afraid because of its appearance." Kalya seemed to feel Lux's mood and said helplessly, "Fear is also a very dangerous negative energy, and it is likely to cause trouble in this sub-plane - Let’s go around and look for traces left by Vayne.”

"What the hell is this place!" Lux held onto Ino tightly while looking uneasily at the substantial darkness within three steps. "Karya, tell me about the shadows... Now I understand, knowledge is power!"

"Unfortunately, I don't know much about shadows." Beyond Lux's expectations, Kalya gave a helpless answer, "How should I put it...I am personally more sensitive to the erosion of negative energy, so can I If you come into contact with it, try not to come into contact with it, so I don’t know much about things like shadow energy.”

"What about the Shadow Plane?" Lux continued to ask, "What are the characteristics of this plane? Tell me about it?"

"In the era when I was active, this plane did not exist." Kalya's tone was slightly subtle, "That's why I said this is a man-made secondary plane - at least a man-made secondary plane."

"..."

Lux is a bit autistic.

"Look on the bright side, since this place is man-made, you can always cope with it." After hitting Lux twice in a row, Kalya finally comforted him, "Next, you will face the most filthy darkness. The Shadow of Destruction is an experience that no mortal will ever have in their lifetime - in short, welcome to the world of shadow!"

Kalya’s Little Class·Negative Energy:

In Runeterra, negative energy is a proper term, specifically referring to chaotic, disorderly, highly corrosive and assimilating evil energy.

Negative energy does not exist alone, but many elements have a negative energy aspect, but the shadow element is most obvious in this aspect.

If I have to describe it, the essence of negative energy is probably... entropy increase?
