Lux's Magic Penetration Rod

Lux defeated Nocturne with ease, forcing it to flee in disgrace, causing bursts of cheers from the soul warriors in the fortress.

However, what they didn't expect was that when Lux returned to the fortress wall, her expression looked quite heavy - as if she was the loser.

"Stop frowning, Lux." Jaka patted Lux ​​on the shoulder, trying to make her niece happy, "Don't be like Galen, who makes some achievements and then says nothing and pretends to be a master..."

"This has nothing to do with pretending to be a master." Facing her smiling uncle, Lux could only shake her head helplessly, "There is something wrong with this demon."

"Nocturne is very weak." As if he knew what Lux was worried about, the commander who had been waiting for him breathed a sigh of relief and took the initiative to explain, "We have been here with it for at least hundreds of years, and the long years have taken us away. Many comrades-in-arms, but it also made the demon extremely weak. If you think it is too weak, there is no need to worry - it should be weak."

"I'm not worried about whether it is strong or weak." Lux still shook her head, "I am worried that there is more than one demon in the Shadow Realm."

Lux's words suddenly silenced the crowd.

Judging from her recent performance, Lux has proven her position and abilities - although she is a mage, at least she is a human being.

Although these first-generation soul warriors of the Dauntless Vanguard, like most Demacians, hold a less than objective view of mages, this does not prevent them from respecting a human being who is willing to fight alongside them and fight against demons.

Now Lux says that there may be more than one demon in the Shadow Realm. This news is really bad for the newly inspired soul warriors.

"Don't say such nonsense." The commander said with a serious expression, "Lying about military information is a serious crime."

"If possible, I also hope that the Shadow Realm is just a prison for a demon named Nocturne. Then I can follow the traces he left and return it to its Azakana state, or even completely annihilate it." Lux heard Yan shook his head, "But if you keep guarding Nocturne and prevent it from slipping out of the Shadow Realm, then I'm afraid there is indeed more than one demon here."

"What is the basis for your judgment?" Regarding demons, the commander did not confirm or deny rashly, but asked Lux ​​carefully about the relevant basis, "If possible, can you tell me about it? As for demons, I think I still have some understanding.”

"Of course." Lux nodded, "It's just in time for us to go over the details together."

……………………

The black fog faded, and Lux ​​recounted the information she had collected about the demon in detail.

Whether it was the gathering of demons mentioned by Tam, the strange murders in Demacia's capital, the demonic seed in Vayne's body, or the specific way she entered the Shadow Realm, Lux did not hide anything.

This information is very scattered and spans a long time - but everyone here is very familiar with the cunning of the devil, so naturally they will not naively think that this is just a coincidence.

"So, you think it was the greedy demon named Tam who organized this move into the Shadow Realm?" After digesting the shocking news for a while, the commander finally spoke again, "And besides Tam, , and there is also a demon that brings killing and pain to people. Is the girl named Vayne planted by it with a demonic seed that swallows emotions? "

"Yes, from the current situation, it seems like this." Lux nodded, "Although it is not clear why the demons are helping each other at this time, judging from the current situation, there are already people entering the shadow from the outside world. It’s a passage to the world, and I don’t even rule out that this passage was opened by demons... However, I don’t know if that passage can allow demons to leave smoothly.”

"If other demons can enter the Shadow Realm through the passage you mentioned, they can leave through it." The commander obviously understood Lux's worry, "But Nocturne's situation is a little different. When it entered the Shadow Realm, It came in in the form of shadow... Although we don't know why, if it wants to leave, it can only pass through the original passage under this fortress."

"You mean, Nocturne's current state is a shadow form that cannot go out directly, and must reshape itself through the original channel?" Lux rubbed the hilt of the sword, "If these demons really help each other, then they must Just attack the fortress and open the source channel?"

"That's it. No matter what happens, we must stick to the fortress and never let Nocturne out." At this point, the commander showed a puzzled expression, "But I have never heard that demons will help each other. .”

"Do you know much about demons?" Lux blinked and asked her question, "Actually, I don't know much about demons. If possible, can you tell me about the characteristics of demons? ?”

"Speaking of this topic... In fact, my understanding of demons is very limited." Hearing this, the commander showed a wry smile, "Little girl from the Crown Guard family, I am different from you. I live in Rune At the end of the war, it was an era of chaos. What I know about demons comes more from the endless war with Nocturne, and I’m afraid it doesn’t apply to other demons.”

"That's really troublesome." Lux could only spread her hands after hearing this, "In short, no matter what, Ino and I will stay here for the time being. If the devil really has any tricks, this fortress will not tolerate it. Doubt is the key to everything."

……………………

Lux was discussing the devil.

On the demon side, they are also discussing mortals - and this discussion, even for the bizarre demons, is an out-and-out "unconventional meeting."

For demons who are accustomed to devouring each other, it is nonsense to sit down and talk about cooperation. The relationship between most demons is similar to that of Ramo and Shaco, and they all want to devour each other directly.

Demons are special beings born from extreme emotions. As long as they find the right method, demons can completely devour their own kind and grow bigger.

But this time, Greed, Pain and Nightmare held a meeting of the Big Three in the Shadow Realm.

Although both the greed demon Tamu and the pain demon Evelynn were happily mocking the nightmare demon Nocturne, it seemed that these three guys did not intend to devour each other.

"Nocturne, you have new scars on your body." Seeing the nightmare demon running back in embarrassment, Evelin's extremely charming face showed a look of anticipation, "Look at your tattered Shadow Body...does it hurt?”

"Stop talking nonsense, Evelyn." Nocturne swayed his body, "If you want to feel the pain of the soul, then don't make unnecessary sarcastic remarks here - come with me to take down those annoying souls. A warrior is what you should be.”

"As I said, be patient." Evelin swung her long tail with barbs at the end, "Before the main meal begins, I have an extremely exquisite snack waiting to be tasted. Can I I understand your eagerness to leave the cage, but the order cannot be messed up."

"Tam, stop flicking your tongue!" Seeing Evelin's helpless look, Nocturne could only turn to the side, pull out his long tongue, and flick it endlessly. Mum, "You are the one who started this whole plan, now is not the time for you to play!"

"Don't be anxious, Nocturne." Tam, who was suddenly called, let go of his hand, and retracted his long tongue back into his mouth with some unfinished thoughts, "We still have plenty of time, time in the Shadow Realm is very slow, and the distance is The next Soul Eater Night will be a long time away, and I have plenty of time to wait here..."

"Are all your collaborators so confident?" Nocturne looked at Tam and Evelin who had reached a vague understanding, and finally decided to take a more direct approach, "Evelin is like this, and so is the one who is trying to seize the power of death. in this way?"

Trying to seize the power of death?

Evelin's expression remained unchanged, but her heart moved slightly - when Tam organized this cooperation, she said, "This is a win-win cooperation."

Originally, Evelynn thought that the three win-wins of this cooperation were Nocturne being out of trouble, herself tasting the endless pain of a resilient soul, and Tam gaining control of a gluttonous kingdom.

But according to Nocturne, it seems that Tam has a fourth collaborator hiding in the dark?

"He is a generous guy." Tam grinned and waved his short hands exaggeratedly, showing a look of respect, as if he didn't mind Nocturne revealing his collaborator's behavior at all, "I'm just picking up A wretch who is left with scraps from the back of an ambitious ambition cannot be said to be a collaborator at all..."

"Stop maintaining your disguise, Tam. You are the greedy demon, not Ramo, who is full of secrets." Nocturne sneered, "Tahm, who has always liked to arouse greed and devour everything, now suddenly wants to find someone. The sub-plane close to Runeterra...the Taotie Kingdom, I'm afraid it's not an outpost prepared for that person, right?"

"It's just a variety of uses." Tam spread his short hands, "Although this does have a certain employment relationship, it is just a fair transaction where one hand pays and the other hand delivers."

"Speak clearly, Tam." Although the Greedy Demon tried hard to distance himself from the relationship, Evelin's tone became more subtle, "Are you really working for the dead?"

"Of course!" Nocturne was the first to answer without waiting for Tam to answer, "I don't know what those undead souls who don't know pain and have no mind deserve for a demon to care about. Maybe Tam is different from us?"

Seeing that Nocturne and Evelin seemed to be standing together faintly, Tam's big face showed exaggerated grievance. He took off his little funny hat and pretended to stroke his beard.

"Everyone, this is not because I have any extraordinary ambitions." Tam put his hand into the top hat and threw out a ball of water stains. "The river told me that the water is deteriorating and it no longer drowns everything. The abyss is gradually turning into a source of joy full of laughter..."

Nocturne and Evelin looked at each other, their expressions becoming a little serious.

"I'm not talking nonsense." Tam poured out the water in the hat, put it on his head again, and continued, "The times are changing, and the big demons are also ready to move. In this case, we I'm afraid I have to make some necessary cooperation to protect myself from being swallowed up - the water flow tells me that this time, even hiding out of the limelight may be of no use!"

Kalya’s Little Classroom·Big Devil:

Within the devil, there are actually unclear hierarchical divisions.

For example, the initial little devil is called Azakana, and as Azakana grows and devours it, it will become a demon representing a certain emotion.

On top of these ordinary demons, there are also some great demons, which are representatives of primitive emotions - fear, joy, anger, sadness...

For some reason, they don't appear normally, but every time they appear, it means something big has happened in Runeterra.
