[0420] The beginning of the void
"Who are you anyway?"
Although the guy in front of him used a darkin weapon, had a strong darkin aura, and even recognized his identity, Jax hesitated for a moment and still asked the question.
"My name is Yasuo." Yasuo was quite calm about Jax's question, "A mortal who was lucky enough to inherit the power of the Darkin."
"A mortal who has inherited the power of the Darkin?!"
Jax was dumbfounded by Yasuo's words. The eyes under his mask were staring at Yasuo's eyes, as if he wanted to find some useful information in the compressed eyes. However, Yasuo was unexpectedly magnanimous.
There is no madness in his eyes that belongs to dark descendants...
Jax hesitated.
Although Jax still found a touch of pride in Yasuo's eyes, according to his understanding of darkin, these should not be the eyes of darkin.
At least, it shouldn't be Aatrox's eyes!
Combined with some previous information, Jax's hostility seems to have weakened a bit.
But even so, he still didn't fully believe Yasuo's words - Jax knew very well what kind of existence the Darkin was, so he couldn't believe that there would be "mortals who inherited the power of the Darkin."
Faced with Jax's undisguised suspicion, Yasuo had nothing to prove his identity for a while. After hesitating for a moment, he finally came up with a bad idea.
"How about... I scold the darkspawn or the Shurima royal family?"
Hearing these words, Jax finally froze on the spot - after a long time, he finally sighed.
"Maybe we can talk slowly."
After inviting Jax back to the house, Yasuo finally had the opportunity to have a good talk with the weapons master - as for Jax himself, he was now confused and completely confused about the situation.
At this time, Jax could confirm that Yasuo was no longer a Darkin, but he still couldn't understand Yasuo's identity.
After all, according to Jax's knowledge, any mortal who picks up a darkin's weapon will inevitably become a darkin.
Even if there are some strong-willed people who can resist the will of the darkin, they will only be scumbag darkin like Rhaast - Jax doesn't think anyone can resist the will of Aatrox!
After all... before the Darkin became the Darkin, when Aatrox was an Ascended, he was the leader of the Ascended Legion.
Compared with Jax, Irelia, Lucian and Senna are even more strange - they have no idea why this guy who wrapped himself up so tightly would fight Yasuo and then suddenly stop fighting.
Just like skipping a hundred chapters in a novel, they always feel that they have missed a lot.
In this case, Yasuo was the first to speak.
"Irelia, haven't you always been curious about what the void is? Then let Mr. Jax tell you what the void is."
With that said, Yasuo turned to Jax.
"Mr. Jax, on the issue of fighting against the void, we should be on the same side... If possible, I hope you can tell us about the void? From the perspective of an Icathian."
……………………
Jax? His full name is Sejax Cayo Rains Alcason, and he is a native of Icathia.
And his story? It starts with the grudge between the Shurima Empire and Icathia.
As we all know, thousands of years ago, when the Shurima Empire was powerful, this ancient empire once relied on the powerful legions of Celestial Warriors to conquer everywhere. At that time, almost the entire Shurima continent surrendered to the Shurima Empire.
Underfoot.
Icacia is no exception.
Icathia, which is now in ruins, was an out-and-out fertile land at that time. It was rich in spices and rice. It also had developed trade and a unique culture.
When Shurima sent an envoy, asking Icathia to surrender and join Shurima, Icathia's leader, the Mage King, killed the envoy, raised his soldiers, and launched a head-on confrontation with the Shurima Empire.
Although the Icathian civilization was already very advanced at the time, after the Celestial Warrior Legion ran over it, the Mage King was still beheaded by the formation, and the Khaoari team that protected him also committed suicide in the failure to apologize - and then the Emperor of Shuriman sent each and every one of them to death.
Kaua'ali's rotting corpse was exposed on the street, and the mage king himself was nailed to the city gate until his bones rotted away.
After the resistance failed? Icathia finally became a Shurima colony, and because of its unwillingness to surrender before? Icathia has always acted as the "chicken" that kills chickens to scare monkeys, and has endured the most severe harshness in hundreds of years.
treatment.
However? Even so, Icacia never gave in.
Is the same anger burning in the hearts of every Icathian? Even if the situation is difficult, they still accumulate strength in the dark - this is how Jax spent his youth.
He practices martial arts and eagerly absorbs all the weapons knowledge he can come into contact with, waiting for revenge on Shurima.
Finally? The opportunity has come.
By chance, a massive earthquake occurred in the coastal province of Saabura. The destruction of the earthquake revealed something deep underground, something dark and powerful - perhaps powerful enough to restrain Shurima's ascension.
The god warrior.
Jax, who was already somewhat famous at the time, received the mission and escorted the mages who discovered this thing to the ruling council to report the matter.
After discussion, this kind of power that requires special flame restrictions to be contained was finally named Void.
The ruling council sees this power as the key to fending off Shurima's invaders, but as a weapons master, Jax is well aware of the dangers of "weapons that cannot be fully mastered" - but unfortunately, his opinion
was not accepted.
In short, with Void as a trump card, the Council was full of confidence. They re-established a mage king and rebuilt Kaua'ali. Although Jax was worried, he still joined Kaua'ali immediately.
Then came the official uprising. The formed Kaua'ali raised the flag of rebellion, and Jax used a battle ax engraved with inscriptions to defeat and kill the Ascended Ones stationed there, becoming the first in Runeterra.
The mortal who killed the Ascended One - that year, Jax was twenty-eight years old.
Although according to Jax, "that ascended person was too proud," Irelia was still stunned when she heard this.
Irelia has never seen an Ascendant - but she does know that Yasuo was once beaten to a pulp by a darkin who was not too strong, and she also understands the general logic of Ascended = Darkin.
The person in front of him was able to kill an ascended person at the age of twenty-eight...
