Upon hearing the name "Eben Grell", Thresh, who was holding the chain with his right hand and swinging the sickle, stopped suddenly, and the dark green flames on his body danced more violently.
"You, how do you know this name!" His skeleton jaw moved slightly, and he made a sound using his broken magic.
Thresh is not a demon, and he is not afraid of having his true name known, but he has long since erased all records of himself from the Shadow Isles.
Even the souls he hunted, imprisoned, and tortured knew him only as "The Chain Jailer" and "Thresstone."
The man in front of me, wearing a robe that contained vast energy like the ocean, like a golem puppet hollowed out and shrunk and put on himself, actually knew my real name?
Li Lin shook his head and chuckled, "Not only do I know your real name, I also know what you've done, Eben Grell. The reason Shadow Isles has become like this is all because of you.
"You were the one who guided the Ruined King Viego to place his queen's body into the Fountain of Life. You know what will happen."
Thresh was silent for a moment, then chuckled darkly, which gradually turned into a loud laugh, and he fell forward and backward.
"Interesting, so interesting!" He stopped laughing and said in a cold tone, "If I had your soul, perhaps I would know more interesting things."
"Unfortunately, even Fiddlesticks, the ancient demon leader, can't take my soul. You're just a mere Shadow Island Mist Walker, so forget it."
Thresh was obviously angered by Li Lin's "big talk". He swung out his scythe, and the chain connecting the lantern continued to stretch, far beyond its original limit.
However, before the sickle touched the energy barrier of the armor, a golden light fell from the sky and hit Thresh's original position. The sickle just stopped in front of Li Lin, turned into gray-green particles and dissipated, and did not return to the black fog.
The signs of Thresh's energy disappeared, replaced by a more powerful aura with divine holiness.
As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, a tall figure about four or five meters tall with broad wings appeared in front of Li Lin.
Even the countless weeping souls that suddenly appeared around him didn't dare to approach him.
"General Aatrox, don't do it! These are the pitiful souls harvested by Thresh."
Atrox paused, sheathing the broad sword in his hand and putting it on his back. "I didn't intend to do it. I encountered a large army of undead on the way here and got entangled."
Hearing him say this, Li Lin was stunned for a moment, "An army of undead?"
"Those fools tried to influence my mind with a funeral requiem... not worth mentioning," Aatrox scoffed. "I have purged them completely."
Oh my goodness, it turns out that this is the Deathsinger Karsus leading his army of undead souls to stop the Ascendant, and he is the strongest one yet...
The power of the Ascended One from the Dragon King can even kill the Protoss, not to mention that this is Aatrox who has ascended for the second time. A group of small undead are nothing to him, and he can annihilate them with a wave of his hand.
Just now, Thresh was purified by the purifying light that fell from the sky from Aatrox, and the emerging soul mist all escaped from his lantern.
Aatrox walked over to Li Lin and looked down at the crack in the ground. "Is this the source of the Curse of Ruin?"
Li Lin ignored him and stared at the gray mist of the soul. A dark green flame of the soul danced in the gray mist and soon emerged from it, forming the figure of a dark-skinned woman.
"Hmm?" Aatrox sensed something, glanced back, and then turned around. "The Mist Walker who escaped the Black Mist?"
The woman's dark green childlike eyes stared at the two strange guys in front of her, and a look of shock appeared on her face.
However, she did not hesitate for too long. She quickly reached into the gray fog behind her, and a cannon made of holy stone was quickly assembled and appeared in her hand.
This is a special weapon forged from the weapons left behind by the Sentinels who died at the hands of Thresh, which can mediate the dual forces of darkness and light.
"No, this doesn't feel right... You're not a Mist Walker, you've escaped the Black Mist." Aatrox reacted quickly, a hint of surprise in his tone.
“I control the Black Mist…” the woman began, and most of the gray mist of souls escaping from the dead Thresh’s lantern flowed into her body. “Although it’s only a portion, it can save these souls.”
Noticing the confusion on Aatrox's face, the woman explained, "My name is Senna, a sentinel of light against darkness. Two years ago, I landed on the Shadow Isles with my husband Lucian, but was ambushed and killed by Thresh.
“My soul was imprisoned within Thresh’s netherworld prison, but it was also from there that I learned the true nature of the Black Mist…”
"Life," Li Lin interjected, drawing Senna's surprised gaze. "The source of the black mist is the water of life, derived from the world rune."
"This..." Senna was stunned.
The sentinel senior in the Nether Prison only told her the origin of the Curse of Ruin and the nature of her curse by the Black Mist, but did not mention that this was the magic of the World Rune.
"Well, I did sense a power in the black fog that was of the same origin as the world runes, but it was polluted and corrupted," Aatrox continued.
Senna took a long moment to recover from her shock, then asked the question deep in her heart: "You are a Shurima god, and your equipment looks very similar to the power armor that appeared in Piltover before... Is your name Li Lin?"
"You actually recognize me." Li Lin's visor became transparent, revealing his face. "Yes, I am Li Lin from Piltover. During the two years you were imprisoned by Thresh, the outside world has undergone tremendous changes."
“…”
Senna didn't know what to say. Judging from her expression, she had a headache.
"Before I came to the Shadow Isles, I heard rumors that the Sun Disc had revived from beneath the sands. Now they're forging Ascendants again?"
Li Lin glanced at Aatrox beside him, shook his head, and chuckled. "It's a long story, but let's not tell it now. We have more important tasks."
He pointed his thumb behind him from the side of his head, and a steady stream of desolate air seeped out from the ground.
The green light in Senna's eyes suddenly flashed, and a voice from deep within her soul came to her mind:
The Great Destruction... Viego...
"We must stop the Ruined King from rising!" she cried.
"What do you think we are doing here today?" Li Lin said.
"Don't drag me into this, I'm just stopping by to help you." Aatrox shrugged, his completely joking tone breaking Senna's inherent impression of the almighty image of a god.
"you……"
"I'm here to find my subordinate. He's been sealed in a weapon on the Shadow Isles," Aatrox explained. "And by the way, I'm here to help Li Lin deal with the Ruined King."
