The Shadow Isles once nurtured a noble, enlightened civilization, and it was upon these islands that Ryze trained.

Because of the Curse of Ruin and the Black Mist, any living being that sets foot on the Shadow Isles will have their life slowly drained, thereby attracting the insatiable and predatory Undead.

Once you die within the range of the black fog, it would be a good thing if your soul is devoured by the Mist Walker. However, if your soul is not destroyed, it will be an even more tragic fate.

Or be swallowed by the black fog, cursed with ruin and become a fog walker, dwelling forever in this nightmarish land, gradually forgetting yourself, and becoming a new undead hunting living creatures.

Otherwise, the Chain Jailer Thresh will come to claim your life, shackle your souls and bind them with chains. The green lanterns and eternal torment of the countless souls who howl in pain will be their final destination.

The best outcome is to meet Yorick the Shepherd of Souls, the only living person in the Shadow Isles and the holder of the last Water of Life.

He will protect your soul from the evil spirits and sew you into his body. If you wish, you can enjoy eternal rest...

That's assuming Yorick doesn't die.

Li Lin did not intend to risk his life to challenge the power of the black fog, so the armor kept the energy barrier open throughout the process.

A Tyrant Dragon God was lying across the sky above Shadow Island. More than 100 war domains were ready outside the black fog of Shadow Island. The orbits of space-based satellites outside the sky were adjusted and aimed at this place.

If Li Lin wanted to, he could directly sink this corrupted island, which is larger than the Blue Flame Islands where Bilgewater is located.

But here there are also Maokai, the spirit of nature who has not yet been eroded by the Black Mist, and Yorick, who has been guarding the Shadow Isles for thousands of years.

Even Ryze once mentioned the Shadow Isles in a conversation with Li Lin, wanting to restore the vitality here and saying that it was all his fault.

Li Lin didn't know what Ryze meant, and what the Curse of the Ruin had to do with him.

However, Li Lin never had the idea of ​​sinking Shadow Island.

Runeterra is a world unto itself, where the spiritual and material realms are interdependent.

Even if the boundary between the material and spiritual realms of Shadow Island is completely destroyed, what impact will the destruction of this place have on the entire Runeland is not something Li Lin wants to try.

As long as the problem of the Ruined King is solved, whether it is Thresh, Hecarim, Deathsinger Karthus, or the Spider God Vilemaw who is connected to the Black Rose member Spider Queen Yin Lis, it will be a piece of cake.

Li Lin landed in the flooded city of Helia on the coast of Shadow Island. It was once the capital of Fuguang Island, and most of its area was submerged by dark sea water.

Dark green is the main color here. Shipwrecks, huge reefs and architectural ruins that rise and fall and float in the air, completely violating the laws of physics. Add to that the bright twilight in the distant horizon rushing straight into the dark sky. Everything forms a twisted and corrupt picture of hell.

Li Lin floated in the air with the help of an anti-gravity device, allowing the surging and ruined magic to pass by him.

The howling of the armored undead was piercing their ears, but most of the weak mist walkers dared only watch from afar and did not dare to approach him.

Not long after, Li Lin flew up a cliff hundreds of meters high and stood on the edge of the ruins that exuded a strange magical atmosphere. Everything he saw was ruined.

He glanced at the energy value displayed on the holographic display on his mask and continued to fly in the direction with the highest index.

After a while, the intelligent brain reminded:

[Master, according to my detection, the corrupted magical aura of the black fog and the world rune are from the same source.]

"Ah?" Li Lin was stunned. "The black fog is created by the world rune?"

[Uh... that's not what I meant. I meant that the black fog contains the power of the Resolve World Rune.]

[According to my calculations, there is a 98.76% probability that the holy mist that once surrounded Fuguang Island was produced by the magic of the World Rune.]

【This energy originates from underground.】

Li Lin could still guess that the black fog was transformed from the Holy Mist, and the Holy Mist was most likely transformed from the Water of Life, a specialty of the Blessed Island and different from the source of the Shurima Dawn Oasis.

The detection of the intelligent brain confirmed Li Lin’s guess, but also led to an even more shocking inside story: the water of life was produced by the magic of the world runes!

"No wonder Ryze said before that the Curse of the Ruin was his fault. Turns out it was the World Rune that caused it... Maybe that's only part of it."

While thinking, Li Lin was attracted by the ruined magic and continued to walk towards the depths of Shadow Island.

During this period, there were a few fog walkers with strong aura but obviously irrational who came to attack. They were easily penetrated by the gamma rays and turned into black mist and disappeared.

Li Lin did not receive the system prompt in his mind to kill the Mist Walker. He knew that even his energy weapons could not completely kill these monsters.

Only by using the Holy Stone and magical weapons launched by the mind of the ancient society originating from Fuguang Island - the Sentinels of Light, can they be completely killed.

But for him now, even if all the undead in the Shadow Island came, they would be unable to do anything to him.

The energy of the Project Armor can almost be described as "infinite". There are no gods or demigods among the undead, so the infinite energy alone is enough to deal with most situations.

Not long after, Li Lin crossed most of the Helia ruins and came to a building that looked like a library.

The surface of the earth has been torn into pieces, and a constant stream of gray-green breath of death seeps out from the cracks in the ground, turning into black mist and drifting away.

[According to the scan, there is an empty ancient tomb beneath this place. In the deepest hall, there is a fountain connected to the corrupted spring water.]

"I found the right place."

Li Lin had an idea, and several large nanomachines emerged from the armor on his back, which quickly reorganized into a laser launch device.

As soon as he took off, the fragmented beam of light was charged and fired, easily melting through the surface and creating a large hole with a radius of four or five meters.

The hole was tens of meters deep before it connected to the ancient tomb hall beneath the surface.

Li Lin retracted the laser launcher, but did not rush to go underground. Instead, he said coldly without looking back, "You've been hiding for so long, do you really think I didn't notice you?"

Following a series of goosebump-inducing laughter, laced with cunning and malicious intent, a familiar yet unfamiliar deep voice reached Li Lin's ears: "Poor lonely ghost... Such a special existence."

Li Lin turned around and saw a powerful undead walking out from between the twisted bushes and trees not far away. He was wearing a robe similar to light armor, with a key hanging on his belt buckle. His head had turned into dry bones and was burning in a dark green flame.

The most eye-catching thing is the sickle connected by a chain and the lantern with the howling soul in his hands.

It was none other than the Chain Jailer—Thresh.

Data-driven thinking started, and Thresh's detailed data flashed in Li Lin's eyes, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"In my opinion, you should be the poor lonely ghost... Eben Greer."
