[0375] The truth of the curse
When Kalista lost her mind and was driven by the ruined king, she launched another suicidal attack on Yasuo.
The warrior appeared.
A soft ray of light shone on Callista's body, and in the black mist that followed, the swordsman came to Callista's side. He carried the shield behind his back, handed the long sword to his left hand, and placed the sword in his right hand.
It stretched forward and finally spread out in front of Callista.
In the palm of this hand, there is a small pendant - a silver gadget that has long lost its luster, but time has not been able to take away its meaning.
Kalista finally stopped. She did not continue to attack Yasuo, but turned around sluggishly and slowly and looked at the people around her.
"Ledras..."
……………………
This rare undead person who seems to be able to maintain his own sanity is named Ledros.
Like Kalista, he was once a subordinate of the Ruined King - Kalista was the Spear of the Shining Silver Throne, he was the Sword of the Shining Silver Throne.
In addition to this important identity, he is also Calista's lover.
It is hard to imagine that the two most powerful people in an empire actually love each other, but this fairy tale-like thing did happen.
Unfortunately, the ending of this story is not a fairy tale.
When the queen was assassinated, Calista left the country and went to the legendary Blessed Island to seek medical advice. On the island, she passed the twelve tests of the order and finally won a promise to save the queen.
The Master of the Order gave Callista a talisman that could pass through the mist, and promised that as long as the queen was alive, the water of life could take her back from death.
Unfortunately, Calista finally took a step forward.
When she returned to the royal capital, the queen did not hold on and passed away first.
What is more cruel than despair is despair after seeing hope first.
The king did not want to believe this fact, and Callista was sent to prison.
Hecarim, then the commander of the Iron Legion's cavalry, came to the prison and persuaded Kalista: "Perhaps, only after your majesty meets those masters in person and receives their enlightenment can you be freed from grief.
, and gain peace.”
Although she hesitated in her heart, Kalista, who was unaware of Hecarim's true purpose, could only nod helplessly in the end.
She agreed.
So, the king led a fleet of clippers to sail to Fuguang Island.
With the help of Kalista's talisman, the fleet passed through the fog. When the king saw the shining city of Hylia showing its dignity, he couldn't help but feel happy - it was not a prosperous city, but it was gorgeous enough, and it was filled with beauty everywhere.
A city full of life!
Here... my lover will definitely be able to come back to life!
However, the masters of Fuguang Island were adamant and did not allow them to touch the water of life - they insisted that death is the end, and escaping death would violate the natural laws of all things in the world.
The disappointed king finally fell into madness. He issued an order asking Kalista to kill anyone who stood in his way - but Kalista, realizing that something was wrong, refused to carry out the order and asked Hecarim for help...
During the stalemate, Hecarim thrust out the spear in his hand without any warning, piercing Kalista's body.
A bloody battle broke out.
Ledros raised his sword and led himself and the warriors under Kalista's command to fight back. As a result, they were outnumbered and all died under the strangulation of the cavalry.
After ruthlessly leveling everything, the king expressionlessly led the traitor (that is, Thresh) to the spring of the water of life - he placed the body of his deceased wife in the spring, but what he expected
The deceased did not resuscitate.
Not only that, the originally clear spring water even turned black and turbid...
When the corpse entered the spring, the water of life was corrupted.
The king didn't know that the power of this water of life actually came from a world rune, an almost complete world rune, which was immortal.
When immortality meets life, it is life that is constantly evolving. Although there is life and death, it is always alive!
When immortality meets death, it is eternal death. It has obviously passed away, but it still cannot be dissipated!
Yes, the so-called "immortality" is ultimately the "immortality of death." When death is immortal, those who have been infected will naturally be caught between life and death forever, and will never be able to escape.
The fog began to turn from white to black, and black foam appeared in the spring water. Everything seemed to prove that the king's behavior had led to very bad consequences.
Unfortunately, as the person involved, the king who had already fallen into madness could not accept this - he did not believe that even the magical fountain of life could not save his lover!
It must be because... this spring water has been used too much, and the energy is no longer enough to support the recovery of my lover!
A little help is needed to give the spring water enough power to revive the queen!
With this thought in mind, the king used a piece of power that was at the bottom of the box - it was the foundation of the Shining Silver Empire, a world rune fragment.
The specific content of that world rune fragment is...increase.
Smashing his own king's scepter, the king carefully took out the rune fragment, and then miraculously resisted the temptation of the world rune in his madness, and threw it into the spring water!
It was this action that led to tragic consequences - the two world runes came into direct, unprotected contact, and there was only one result, and that was... an explosion.
An explosion like the creation of Runeterra!
This terrible explosion caused the entire Fuguang Island to fall into shock. The tsunami hit and most of Hylia was submerged in the sea water. The once glorious city of shining became what it is today almost in an instant.
In the impact of this nearly creation force, the amplification runes were annihilated and the immortality runes were shattered. The former merged with death and became pure energy, infected with the mist and also infected
All of them, mixed with some immortal power, trapped them forever between life and death; the latter was split into a large number of rune fragments, scattered throughout Fuguang Island and even in the surrounding ocean.
The mist giant that Yasuo met before was the rune host of the [Grasp of Immortality] after the immortality rune was shattered - essentially, he and Brand are similar existences, except that their souls are mixed.
Just no body.
In addition, the rune fragments scattered outside Blessed Island also became the trigger for the later Rune War - the war that almost destroyed the civilization of Rune Land. It originally originated from the fight against the world's rune fragments.
