Dark Sovereign

Irelia just came back from an inspection and was very happy to see me coming. This time she brought back good news, that is, she found the exact location of Syndra, and that is most likely where she lives now.🍭💜  🐜★

Because of her previous setbacks, she did not act rashly and planned to return to discuss the matter with Talon and Karma.

We went together to the North Spring Temple, which is exactly the same as the Sunon Temple, except that the walls are a bit white due to the climate.

Karma was meditating, something the Harbinger often did, with a Shepherd watching over her.

Irelia reported her findings and then summoned everyone to prepare for joint action.

Many of these people looked familiar to me, but I only recognized Yuan Feng and Katarina from the Wood Sword Sect; I couldn't remember the names of the others.

After a brief greeting, everyone discussed their strategy. In the past, when they discovered Syndra, they always acted alone and suffered many losses. This time, they decided to launch a joint encirclement.

In the end, we selected ten people in total: Talon and Katarina on one team, Karma and Irelia on another, and the three Shepherd on the third.

Wukong and I were new here and not very familiar with the terrain, so Yuan Feng and we were paired up.

Ten experts from four teams are attacking from all sides; this time, everyone is determined to win!

According to Irelia's description, Syndra is in a woodland to the northwest, where there is a hot spring, and a crooked ancient tree stands beside the hot spring, making her very easy to spot.

We approached from all four directions and soon met up near the hot springs, where Syndra was resting under an ancient tree.

Hearing the sounds around her, Syndra opened her eyes. Her appearance was no different from before, except that three magic orbs were now swirling and flying around her.

We're not familiar with Syndra, but Irelia is different. She's Syndra's Shepherd interprets the God of Wind's oracle, and the two are old friends.

"Lady Syndra, I've finally met you!"

"Irelia, I don't want to see you."

A seemingly ordinary sentence surprised everyone, because the Harbinger are unable to speak, yet Syndra spoke!

"Now that you can speak, please explain to me what happened and why you killed Ruiyi and the others!"

"Irelia, with the help of an adult, I've discovered many truths, but unfortunately Miyue and the others can't understand them. Would you like to continue following me?"

"Is this all you're trying to say? Regardless of the truth, your actions have already strayed from the right path!"

"I knew you'd say that, so what else do you want me to explain?"

"I want you to confess who's behind this, the one you mentioned, the That Great One '!"

"That Great One is a supreme being, not someone you can casually know about. He will contact you when he needs something."

"You are ill, and quite ill. Please forgive my rudeness, but I am taking you back to Prexian to face everyone's judgment!"

As Irelia finished speaking, the blade in her hand rose into the air. She was a blade dancer, and her swordsmanship was unparalleled.

We were all prepared to prevent Syndra from escaping, but she showed no signs of wanting to run away. Instead, she manipulated the orb to fight Irelia!

At first, I thought these orbs were just a few spheres of energy, but that's not the case. They could actually meet Irelia's blade head-on and produce a metallic clanging sound!

In terms of strength, Irelia is no match for her!

This wasn't a duel, but rather the capture of a criminal, so there was no need to worry about fairness. Karma, along with his three Shepherd, also joined the fray.

They weren't good at fighting, but they were strong in Divine Strength and barrier techniques. The four of them sat on the four sides and began to unleash mental attacks.

I don't know how powerful this attack is; it might work on others, but it's useless against Syndra, who is also Harbinger.

Irelia quickly couldn't hold on any longer; the barrage of blades couldn't penetrate the defenses of the three magic orbs at all, and many of them were broken off instead.

Yuan Feng and charged into the battlefield, wielding a wooden sword with overwhelming momentum. I don't know what kind of wood this wooden sword was made of, but its hardness and toughness were in no way inferior to metal weapons.

Suddenly, Syndra had an extra orb next to her, but that one was enough to stop Yuan Feng's attack.

Wukong was already eager to try; he took the steel sword Talon had given him and wanted to join the battle.

"Master, can I go? I want to fight too!"

"No problem, but please be careful. If anything seems wrong, come back immediately!"

Having received my affirmation, Wukong excitedly rushed over. He had learned all his swordsmanship from me, and his performance at that moment was quite impressive.

Syndra also realized that this orc was no ordinary creature, so she summoned another magic orb, which steadily blocked Wukong.

These orbs moved incredibly fast, and just five of them completely surrounded Syndra, leaving no opening! Meanwhile, Irelia and the others were struggling.

Finally, Talon and Katarina made their move; both were assassins by trade and highly skilled in Way of Assassination.

Normally, having too many people would be chaotic, but with two more assassins, that wouldn't be the case at all. The two of them acted opportunistically, seizing every opportunity, causing Syndra a great deal of trouble.

However, she remained relaxed, standing still, and summoned another magic orb!

The five orbs were already quite a challenge, but the last one summoned exerted several times the pressure, forcing them to switch from offense to defense!

Well, that's it. I thought ten people would be more than enough, but now I'm the only one who hasn't done anything.

If I join the battle, we will definitely fail to achieve our goal, because Syndra can escape even if she is no match for us, and no one can stop her!

They're not about to be defeated, so I'm not in a hurry to make a move. Even if I rush in, I'll only be dealing with one more magic orb. In this situation, it's necessary to analyze the situation calmly.

Judging from the current situation, Syndra mainly relies on the orbs around her for attack and defense. If we can find a way to break the orbs, our chances of winning will be much higher. It's a pity I don't have Nullifying Weapon, otherwise I could give it a try!

This orb can directly clash with various weapons without passing through or bouncing off; it doesn't seem to be a simple energy object, but rather more like a magical artifact.

Since it is not a simple energy body and can split and multiply, it means that this item has a main body. Only by finding the main body can we find a way to proceed.

I carefully examined Syndra. Her clothes were no different from before, except that she had a crown on her head. Although I wasn't sure if it was from her, I decided to give it a try!

Using the surrounding chill, I quietly gathered the Gale Force, which shot straight at Syndra's head like an invisible ice spear.
