Chapter 365 [0363] Pretending to Be Crazy but Not Mad

In Tarik's eyes, how dazzling the light of heaven is, how gloomy and terrifying the sword in Lux's arms is.

The lingering purple-black aura on the hilt of the sword can no longer be simply described as "ominous" - in Tarik's view, this is simply a materialized disaster!

Realizing this, Taric was so anxious that he spoke authentic Demacian and told Lux ​​to drop her sword.

Lux and Ino were both a little happy when they suddenly heard the local accent. However, after hearing Tariq's words clearly, the two of them were stunned and turned into surprise at the same time.

Just when Lacus wanted to question him in turn, Kalya quickly gave him some guidance. As a result, Lacus put away her guarded posture and turned to look confused.

"Who are you?" Her tone was full of doubts, "Are you also from Demacia? Why do you ask me to throw away my sword?"

"I am Taric, Shield of Demacia, Taric." Although he had long secretly decided not to mention this lost glorious name, he saw that the little girl in front of him seemed to be about to pull out this dangerous sword. Sword, Taric still chose the most convincing name, "Your accent is also Demacian, that's great... Be careful, don't touch your sword, it is very dangerous!"

If Lux's previous doubts were pretended at Kalya's request, then her doubts at this moment were completely true - the Shield of Demacia? Why is this naming style exactly the same as that of Galen, the second grader?

Forget about being in the second grade, look at this guy, he is clearly not ashamed, but proud - he even thinks he is famous!

Thinking about this, Lux couldn't help but show an expression that looked like a liar, her eyes full of wariness.

Faced with such undisguised vigilance, Tariq was quite embarrassed at this time.

"This lady, I am really Taric, the Shield of Demacia. I came here to bear the punishment of the Stone Crown and wash away my sins. You see, I am walking barefoot now..."

In order to win people's trust, Tariq stretched out his left leg forward, trying to prove in this way that he was a prisoner and would not plot against the opponent's sword.

However, when he exposed his bare feet and instinctively moved his gaze downwards, what he saw was two pairs of white feet, also without shoes.

Seeing this scene, Tarik was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes widened in disbelief. He suddenly raised his head and carefully looked at the two people in front of him.

He seemed to understand something.

Obviously these two people are also Demacians, why haven't they even heard of the name of Demacian Shield?

Although Taric himself does not care about fame, it is undeniable that in the past two or three years, whether he became a hero or a sinner, he has always occupied the headlines of Demacia, even if He is an ordinary country man, and I am afraid he will not show such an attitude.

Either they are not Demacia, or they were not in Demacia during the past two or three years!

Why are they marching barefoot with me?

Because they are also the victims of the stone crown punishment!

So, here comes the problem.

Before him, who else in Demacia had endured the punishment of the Stone Crown?

The face in front of him gradually overlapped with the young face stained with blood in his memory. At this moment, Tarik finally opened his eyes in disbelief.

"Miss Laxana!" Tariq's tone was surprised and happy, "You are still alive!"

……………………

Lux was suddenly called by name and was quite puzzled.

She looked carefully at Tariq in front of her, but she couldn't remember where she had seen such a person.

"Do you know me?" She asked Karya for help in her heart, and asked Tarik at the same time, "But I don't seem to know you."

However, at this moment, Kalya was silent. Instead, Tariq introduced himself eloquently.

"That's normal. When you left Demacia, I was just an unknown member of the Dauntless Vanguard, and my squad leader at that time was Lord Galen." After confirming Lux's identity, Tarik gradually became smoother in speaking. , "The thing is, after you left, a lot of things happened in Demacia..."

As he spoke, Taric told Lux ​​in detail the many things that happened in Demacia after she left.

Because the story was so full of ups and downs, Lux was literally stunned for a moment.

"Both Lord Galen and Miss Sona will often talk about you." After telling a lot of things about Demacia in one breath, Tarik finally let out a long breath, "I didn't expect to meet you here. You--but I still hope you can throw away this sword, it is too dangerous."

"You said there's something wrong with my sword?" Lux continued to talk while digesting the information Tariq said, "What's wrong with it?"

"I saw a disaster, just like a real disaster." Tarik said with an extremely serious expression, "The purple-black ominousness is infecting this sword. It is really too dangerous. Even if you just take a look, it will be dangerous." I feel like my heart is pounding.”

"But I have no problem holding it!" Lux blinked, with a puzzled expression on his face, "This sword has been with me since I was a child, but it was a pity that it was broken during the duel - I I didn’t see anything ominous in purple and black, and I couldn’t throw it down the valley.”

"This is true!" Tariq seemed a little anxious, "It will bring destruction!"

"How do you know?" Lux asked back, "I have been carrying it for nine years, and there has been no problem!"

"I saw it!" Tariq answered subconsciously, "I saw its ominousness... Wait, why do I see the purple-black ominousness?!"

When this doubt came up, Tariq was completely stagnant, as if he was hit on the head by a hammer, and he didn't react for a long time.

Then, after being confused for a long time, Tariq seemed to understand something. He wanted to speak, but before he could speak, he seemed to have been drained of all his energy and began to tremble on the spot.

Trembling, Tariq lowered his head deeply, and after a brief loss of focus, his eyes, which were originally bright and energetic, quickly turned from calm to ethereal.

When Tariq raised his head again, Lux and Ino both saw the shining stars in his eyes.

"Throw it away!"

When he spoke again, Tariq's voice changed. It no longer had the tone that he hadn't spoken to for a long time. His voice was ethereal and deep, as if it came from the sky.

Something was obviously wrong!

There was definitely something wrong with Tariq!

Seeing this, Ino decisively closed his hands, and large pieces of ice spread out from the cliffs and began to gather around Tariq.

Although he didn't know what was going on with this guy, the best way was to control him first!

At the same time, Lux also drew out his sword with his right hand, and put his left index finger and middle finger together to touch the ridge of the broken sword, and a brilliant light flowed on the blade.

As Ino's ice closed in rhythm, Lux also stepped on the cliffs and swung his sword forward.

As if they were in sync, Lux and Ino's attacks arrived almost at the same time, and the unarmed Tariq seemed to have no way to avoid it and could only surrender.

Then, just as the sword was about to hit him, a brilliant starlight fell from the heavens, like an invisible barrier, tightly protecting Tariq who was still a little confused inside - on the other side, neither Lux's sword nor Ino's ice could break through this layer of starlight that looked like a veil.

Such a situation where there was no defense at all made Lux and Ino's heart skip a beat.

Although the two did not know what this starlight was, they could be sure that it must be related to the heavenly light mentioned by Karya.

"Karya, what should I do?" After failing to hit him, Lux subconsciously turned on the off-field help mode, "What's going on?"

However, Karya, who had always had a solution in the past, did not give any response this time. In Karya's silence, Lux's heart finally sank to the bottom of the valley.

Although he wanted to find out what was going on with Kalya, Taric on the other side would not surrender. When the bright starlight was covered on him like a layer of armor, the former Demacia shield finally raised his...fist.

That's right, fist.

Taric, who was suffering from the punishment of the stone crown, was barefoot and did not carry any weapons.

In addition, they were located on a gentle platform above the snow line and almost close to the cloud line. Although this place was much wider than the previous rock crack, it was still bare without even a stone, so Taric could only use his fists at this time.

But even so, when he punched, Lux and Ino still changed color and retreated.

In the simulation training, they had seen many monsters with bare hands, and they would not take it lightly just because Taric had no weapons in his hands.

Taric's punch hit nothing, and his fist hammered on the rock wall without losing momentum, smashing a deep pit in the solid rock wall.

Amidst the flying rubble, Taric stepped forward and raised his fist again.

Lux and Ino did not dare to take him lightly. When they retreated again, they looked at each other with a solemn look on their faces.

Taric's condition was obviously not right, but he was protected by a layer of starlight, so the methods of the two of them did not seem to have much effect.

This guy has quite amazing power with just a pair of flesh fists. If it were all his own strength, he would really be worthy of the name of the Shield of Demacia!

Such an opponent is quite tricky!

The space of the platform here is not small, but it is still a bit narrow as a battlefield.

As Taric rushed back and forth like a bull, Lux and Ino were still in danger and almost fell off the cliff several times.

Fortunately, Lux and Ino cooperated well enough. After confirming that ordinary spells had no chance to break the layer of starlight on Taric's surface, Ino began to use the means of containment, hoping to buy Lux some time to find a way to break this layer of starlight.

Ice walls were erected one after another, and Lux ​​and Ino dodged left and right under the cover of the ice walls.

Like a bullfighter, every time Ino successfully dodged, he would appear in front of Tariq, attracting his attention, so that Tariq, who was invulnerable at this time, could not cause any damage and could only be furious.

On the other side, Lux seized the time bought by Ino and began to concentrate all her strength on the streamer on the blade of her broken sword.

Although she could not use the pure elements yet, under multiple compressions, Lux's spells still had amazing effects. Although it might not be able to destroy the opponent's rogue star armor with one strike, at least it would not be as smooth as before.

Seeing that Ino had retreated step by step and was almost forced into a corner, the light on the blade of the broken sword in Lux's hand finally condensed to the extreme.

The dazzling light was completely attached to the surface of the blade, and the highly compressed light element was as dazzling as the sun at noon. In this way, Lux increased the destructive power of the spell to the extreme.

Tariq punched again, and Lux ​​held the hilt with both hands and finally took a sprint.

"Hah!"

The broken blade is not long.

After the light element attached to it was extremely compressed, it was completely attached to the surface of the sword edge, without extending the length of the sword at all.

But compared to Tariq who could only use his fists, Lux's attack range was still a little bit longer.

Facing this fast and fierce sword, Tariq had to cross his arms and actively resist the broken edge of the broken blade.

When the light element and the radiance of the heaven came into contact, Lux seemed to hear a tremor of magic collision.

Even if she tried her best to maintain it, the light element in the super-compressed state began to become uncontrollable rapidly. Realizing this, Lux decisively lowered her center of gravity, and continued to maintain a state similar to wrestling with Tariq while pressing her vest against the rock wall.

Without being reminded, Ino, who was slightly relieved, understood what Lux meant. She leaned down and pressed her hands on the cold platform. With the injection of magic power, the smooth ice surface quickly spread and covered the entire area under Tariq in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this scene, Lux finally gritted her teeth and released the control of the super-compressed light element.

The next moment, the light that was compressed to the extreme suddenly expanded, and between Lux and Tariq, it seemed that a small sun was born.

Lux was slammed against the wall by the exploding magic power. Even though she had been tightly against the rock wall beforehand, she still felt a fishy taste in her throat when the impact came.

Opposite her, although Tariq was unscathed in the strong light burst, he was "bounced" directly because of the slippery ice under his feet. When he realized that something was wrong and wanted to grab the platform, his body had already flown five or six yards horizontally, and he could only fall down the snow peak in a parabola in vain.

The sound of falling was getting farther and farther away, almost inaudible. Lux and Ino lay on the edge of the platform, poked their heads out, and looked down at the abyss at the same time.

Even though Lux had a strong light in her hand, all she could see was the whistling mountain wind and the floating snow. She couldn't tell where Tariq, who had fallen off the cliff, had landed, or whether he was dead or alive.

Just as the two were still in shock, Karya's familiar voice finally appeared again.

"Well, I never dreamed that I would meet someone in the same field as me." As if he had survived a disaster, Kalya let out a long sigh, "Fortunately, I felt something was wrong and restrained myself immediately, otherwise I would have been discovered by those bastards before I entered the cloud line... Let's go, let's go, we are in real trouble this time!"

Kalya's small class: The light of the sky that is purely for protection:

It is very difficult to dispel the light of the sky that is purely for protection.

However, Tariq is still a mortal body, so although the magic burst is not enough to hurt Tariq, it can bounce him off the cliff - although he will not be in any danger with the protection of the light of the sky, it will probably take a lot of effort to climb up again.
