Lux's Magic Penetration Rod

When the yellow sand and shadows are mixed together, Nocturne has no ability to resist.

Kalya doesn’t have too in-depth research on demons, but that doesn’t stop him from understanding elemental bodies very well – compared to flesh-and-blood bodies, elemental bodies are more convenient and flexible, and can reduce the impact of physical damage to a great extent, but at a price , but the stability of the elemental body is much worse.

To put it simply, the elemental body can easily be mixed with sand, just like it is now.

The shadow is under Nocturne's control, and the yellow sand is under Kalya's control. The two are closely combined to form a hardened body. The result is that Kalya controls Nocturne's body.

Realizing that something was wrong, Nocturne tried to escape, but without control of his body, he couldn't escape. Even if he struggled hard, he was eventually sucked into his own world by Kalya.

Seeing Nocturne being arrested, Vayne and Ino, who arrived later, breathed a sigh of relief.

Vayne looked at the broken sword in her hand and held the hilt, but found that she could no longer enter that magical world, so she raised her head and looked at Ino: "The devil has been caught."

"Well, thank you for your help." Ino nodded politely, "Without your help, it would be difficult for us to catch the demon."

"What about the reward you promised me?" Vayne held the broken sword in her hand with a serious expression, "I want to personally destroy the demon that ruined everything for me."

"You may need to wait." Ino spread his hands, "Maybe Kalya needs to spend some time to completely seal Nocturne."

"His name is Kalya?" Vayne did not continue to pester, but casually pulled a group of shadows, wrapped the broken sword, and carried it on her back, "What on earth is he?"

"He is... my teacher." Ino blinked, "Okay, come with me, let's go back to the fortress."

Vayne seemed a little impatient, but finally nodded and followed Ino.

……………………

In the small world, Kalya is in the process of finally sealing Nocturne.

Although catching Nocturne is easy, if you want to seal Nocturne like Evelynn, it will take some more effort - adding sand into the elemental body will work well in a short time. But if left alone, Nocturne will gradually get the sand out of his body.

Similar to how he dealt with Evelynn before, Kalya planned to give Nocturne a sand burial, but this time he didn't need to be so fancy.

First dig a big hole, then stuff Nocturne into it, then increase the pressure and apply a seal.

Sealing sounds grand, but in essence it is just a way to limit magic or other powers. Compared with Evelin's demonic body, it is easier to seal Nocturne in this state.

After a while, when the yellow sand dispersed, Nocturne, who was as ethereal as black mist before, had now turned into a "piece of paper".

Nocturne's thin body is densely covered with complex magic circuits. Although its simple facial features can still move, it no longer looks as scary as before, only a little bit subtly funny.

The yellow sand transformed into Kalya's thin body. He held Nocturne in one hand and squeezed Evelin in the other, with a relieved smile on his mask.

It seems that Kalya can take down Evelynn and Nocturne very easily, as long as he doesn't take action, and once he takes action, he is as stable as a rock, but Kalya himself knows very well that things are not that simple.

Originally among the Ascended Ones, he was not known for his combat prowess, but was an out-and-out professional in Ascending. But after being stabbed by Pan Sen at the top of Mount Targon, he fell from the realm of eternity - now. In terms of hard power, he is probably not as good as Ino and Lux.

Coupled with Kalya's own incompetence in combat and his lack of decision-making ability in combat, he, as a master, has actually been surpassed by his student once again.

In this case, Kalya's only advantage lies in the secrecy of his own existence and his profound knowledge.

It can be said that no matter what kind of battlefield environment or what type of enemy he faces, Kalya has the most reasonable and reliable tactics. This is his greatest advantage.

When it comes to battle issues, Kalya is more like a staff member who formulates tactical plans and a hidden soldier. The real task of taking the lead can only be left to Lux and Ino.

And judging from this trip to the Shadow Realm... Lux and Ino did live up to Kalya's teachings to them.

The two little girls are still a little immature, but they really deserve the saying that they have a bright future.

Before on Mount Targon, whether it was the attitude of the Guardian Star Spirit or the Sun Star Spirit, it actually brought a lot of worry to Kalya.

In the past, the giant gods always looked down on all living beings from above, regarding everything they provided as gifts, and faced the mortals of Runeterra with the attitude of a higher life.

In this case, the Shurima Empire had the opportunity to build a prosperous empire step by step from the foundation. When the empire was built, the giants may have realized something, but it was already too late.

But now, times have changed.

The glory of Shurima is already a thing of the past that only exists in the auspicious light. Even if Shurima is still forgotten, even if it is still regarded as an absolute orthodoxy and spiritual symbol, it is almost impossible to truly rebuild a Shurima. It can't be done.

More importantly, Kalya has clearly discovered that after experiencing the Icathia War, the Darkin War and the Rune War, many existences that once looked down on mankind have now learned to communicate with the elites among mankind, and even accept them. These elites.

They no longer use an absolutely insurmountable ravine to separate mortals from themselves, but choose those with outstanding talents among mortals to win them over, support them, and even tie them up.

These beings are still proud, but at least they have learned to curb their pride.

Kalya knew very well what an astonishing impact this change would have on Runeland, because during the Shurima Empire, the essence of the ascension ceremony was actually similar to this kind of wooing.

The giant gods accepted mortals and even gave birth to "hybrids" with mortals; demons traded with mortals and were even deeply tied to mortals; the old gods were ready to move and supported their agents; the void never stopped, and the Void Order was born. , which originally means that the forces of the void have begun to unite with the people of Runeterra...

The previous journey across the Dashai Desert was a harsh trial for Lux and Ino, and was a preparation for climbing Mount Targon.

For Kalya, it was a long period of observation in the human world. He observed this country that he was once familiar with but is now unfamiliar to him. He compared everything in the past and present and silently analyzed the changes in it.

This kind of observation is not detailed enough, and it is quite reluctant to say that it is a glimpse of the leopard, but the general direction is unmistakable - in this era, mortals have indeed become the protagonists of Runeterra.

No longer having to struggle to survive, with a civilization of its own, internal conflict becomes a major issue…

In the new era, Kalya is facing completely different problems than before.

However, even if the situation is different and the problems are different, Kalya today is still confident in herself, Lux and Ino, and Runeterra.

Perhaps those who once looked down upon mortals have learned to woo the elite.

But Kalya expected everyone to be like a dragon.

……………………

When Kalya sealed Nocturne and Evelynn, over at the fortress, the soul warriors were repairing the city wall, preparing for Nocturne's possible departure and return.

When everyone was busy, Jecca found Lux. Taking this opportunity, he wanted to talk to his niece about something.

The first thing is that Jacka doesn't plan to go back - after making the oath, he will follow these fearless pioneer warriors and stay here forever.

"Don't be so nervous." After seeing that Lux's mood was wrong, Jecca looked open-minded, "To be honest, when the demon broke out before, we were almost taken down, but luckily someone took care of it. It froze... No one here fell into the nightmare to provide it with nutrients. If it comes again in the future, we will have to deal with it."

"..."

Lux said nothing, just looked at her uncle silently.

"Although your father is a bit pedantic most of the time, one thing he said is still right." Patting Lux on the shoulder, Jacka said in a relaxed tone, "Noble status always comes with a price. Since you can't let the devil go, If it leaves and wreaks havoc on Demacia, then someone will naturally have to fight it in an endless bloody battle, right?"

"I will catch Nocturne." Lux spoke softly, but her tone was extremely firm, "Definitely!"

"You don't need to take risks." Jaka shook his head like a rattle after hearing this. This was his favorite trick when he teased Galen and Lux ​​when they were children. "I can feel that you are very different from the past. ...Although I don’t know why you became a spell caster, I believe that even if our little Lux becomes a mage, she won’t be an evil bastard.”

"..."

"These are not polite words." With a smile, Jika pointed at the commander who was instructing the soldiers to repair the city wall, "You still don't know who that guy is, right? Hehe, his name is Sentu, Sentu Light Shield. .”

"Your Majesty Sentu?" Lux's eyes widened in astonishment, "He is His Majesty the second king of Demacia - I said he looks familiar, but he doesn't match the portrait in the Hall of Valor! "

"Yes, to be honest, I was shocked when I found out his identity." Jacka seemed to be very satisfied with Lux's expression. "Just now, His Majesty Sentu asked me if I would like to issue you a certificate." Special statement - regarding your identity as a mage."

"Special certificate?"

"Although the ban on demons has been around since His Majesty Sentu's reign, the situation at that time was not the same as it is now." Jaka explained, "I only heard about this after I came here - At that time, there were still many mages in Demacia, and they were all managed by the Illuminati. However, later, perhaps due to political changes or other reasons, the mages gradually moved to neighboring countries. Already..."

Lux blinked her eyes dully. Obviously, this history has not been recorded even in the Crownguard family's collection of books.

"Things will always change as time goes by." Jacka spread out his hands, "It's been almost 800 years since Demacia was established, right? That's at least forty generations!"

As he spoke, Jecca stretched out his right hand in an exaggerated manner, spreading his fingers and flipping them eight times in front of Lacus.

"Actually, it's just over seven hundred years."

"It's almost the same." Jacka retracted his hand, "The light shield family's genealogy is as long as a book!"

"I don't need a special certificate." Lux ignored her uncle's usual exaggeration, which was her favorite style before she was eight years old. "I experienced a stone crown punishment. Now, even if I am a pure mage, You can still walk in Demacia with integrity."

"That's good." Jacka breathed a sigh of relief at first, and then his eyes widened in disbelief, "Wait, are you talking about the punishment of the stone crown?"

"That's right."

"The punishment of climbing Mount Targon barefoot?"

"That's it." Lux nodded, "Ino and I climbed Mount Targon and have just returned to Demacia."

"Let me slow down." Jacka was finally a little confused, "You and that Ino, did you really climb Mount Targon barefoot and return to the top?"

"That's right."

"No wonder, I should have known it earlier!" Jacka couldn't help but hit his forehead heavily, "Ordinary mages, even if they are extremely talented, cannot easily fight against demons... You have gained the power of gods! "

"It's not the power of gods, it's just bathed in the light of heaven." Lux corrected with a smile, "There are no gods."

"So, what is going on? You have to talk to me carefully." Jecca's expression became serious, "Start with why you have to bear the punishment of the stone crown - I remember that Sister Tiana was with the Demon Searcher before. The boss is fighting fiercely, even if your mage talent awakens, she should have something to do."

"It starts with a marriage." Apart from Kalya, Lux had nothing to hide. "It was a marriage between a branch of the family and Miss Fiona Laurent..."

Hiding the part about Kalya, Lux briefly introduced what happened and briefly talked about Ino's identity, which left Jecca stunned.

"So, now you don't need His Majesty Sentu's special credentials, right?" After digesting the news he heard for a long time, Jieka rubbed his eyebrows, "After leaving here, you will, as a climber, Return to the capital of Demacia openly?"

"I will go back." Lux did not hide it. "In my opinion, the greater possibility is that the Crownguard family will branch off... My father and aunt are both very important figures. If there is another one like me, , I’m afraid the Crownguard family will become the target of public criticism.”

"I always feel that you seem to have a plan for a long time?" Facing the confident Lux, Jecca asked what Lux once asked Kalya, "Already have your own plan?"

"Absolutely." Lux gave a clear answer, "After all, Forsbarrow doesn't have a lord now, does it?"

Kalya's Little Class·About the Royal Family of Demacia:

For many years since the founding of the country, most of the kings of Demacia have been named Light Shield - there are occasional exceptions, but most of them are when the Light Shield family does not have a suitable candidate.

But unlike Jarvan 1, 2 and 3, who had great power, quite a few Lightshield kings were unable to suppress the noble council and lived like puppets.
