Frenzied Bloodlust

These Skeleton Soldier looked fierce, but they weren't very strong. Renekton easily chopped them down with his crescent-shaped steel blade. 👊😂 ☹🍭

I immediately told everyone to get moving. If we couldn't find Lucian, we had to leave quickly, otherwise we would alert the others.

We jogged along the edge of the Shadow Isles, encountering no more powerful enemies except for the occasional swarm of Skeleton Soldier.

I didn't know how big the Shadow Isles were. As darkness fell, we hadn't returned to our starting point, nor had we found any trace of humans. I decided to retreat to the perimeter first.

"Let's leave first; our movements will be greatly restricted once night falls."

"I also find this aura of death very unsettling," Djis, frowning.

Just as we were about to leave, we suddenly sensed a life force. For the past half day, I had been using the Wind's Breath Insight to investigate, and apart from the deathly silence, there was only this one life force.

"Wait, there's someone over there! Let's go make backup!"

I immediately led them deeper into the Shadow Isles, and soon we encountered Lucian rushing towards us!

Upon seeing me, Lucian shouted, "Run! There are pursuers behind us!"

Before I could finish speaking, a group of undead caught up with me. Just like the ones I had seen before, they had human appearances, but their bodies glowed green!

Now that we've found Lucian, our goal is achieved. We turned to leave, but when we got to the beach, we realized one person was missing: Renekton!

This guy must have been itching to fight, so he started battling the undead!

"You guys go first, I'll go find Renekton!"

"I'll go, only I can persuade that guy!" Nasus grabbed me and turned to return to the Shadow Isles.

Oken slapped his forehead. "Sigh, I can't leave them behind!" He then turned and followed them.

Djis didn't say anything, but it was clear he was worried too. Well, if we came together, we should leave together. Let's all go back!

Lucian didn't return. He said he was too tired and was waiting for us on the beach. He also told us not to linger, as the Shadow Isles were extremely terrifying at night!

We had only taken a few steps when we suddenly saw Golden Light shining ahead. Renekton had entered a state of ascension, and a prehistoric giant crocodile stood proudly!

When Djis and I arrived, Nasus had also activated his Ascension form, but instead of attacking the undead, he swung his hand and slapped Renekton across the face!

"You idiot! How many times have I told you today isn't a day for fighting? Get back with me!"

"Ah... let me kill a few more!"

As Oken and Djis transformed into Giant Bear and a giant rat respectively, Renekton realized we were all back. Feeling embarrassed, he invited us to leave together.

It was too late by then, because in addition to the undead and Skeleton Soldier, a familiar face appeared: Yorick.

Yorick wasn't as big as Renekton, but he was about the same size as Djis, probably around three meters tall. He had a very strong, rounded build, and the shovel in his hand gleamed coldly.

Yorick slammed his shovel into the ground, and a high wall immediately appeared behind us. We could have retreated at that point, but Renekton stopped in his tracks.

"Finally, a big one has arrived! I'll tear you apart before I leave!" Ignoring our attempts to stop him, he turned the tables and attacked again.

In this situation, instead of trying to stop him, we should take down Yorick together and then leave. Of course, if more powerful opponents arrive, we should still retreat.

Renekton charged toward Yorick, while Oken and Djis cleared out the surrounding minions. Nasus and I didn't make a move, just in case someone else suddenly appeared.

"Sigh, my brother is great in every way, except for one bad habit: he's out of control when he's fighting!" Nasus sighed, feeling helpless.

"I see, but for now it's alright. As long as the enemy doesn't send reinforcements, victory is ours."

"No, we can't win here. The aura of death here is extremely strong. It will not only increase the power of the undead, but it may also resurrect them. Light can suppress darkness, but it may not be able to suppress death."

"Then I'll trouble you to stay here, I'll go help out!"

Nasus is right. The effect of light is limited, and only life can overcome death. We cannot linger in the fight.

As it grew darker, I couldn't afford to offend Renekton anymore. I couldn't let him have his fun now, lest things get complicated!

I gathered Wind Spear and, carrying the Gale Force, thrust them towards Yorick, striking his body with unerring accuracy.

Yorick's body wasn't that tough; Renekton had already made several cuts, so I pierced through his body, leaving several holes.

Then I unleashed a powerful storm that swept over, scattering the fighting undead, allowing Oken and Djis to retreat.

Nasus seized the opportunity to rush over, swung his great axe and struck Yorick on the top of the head, then dragged Renekton back.

"Get out of here! There will be plenty of opportunities to fight later. If you continue to fight to the death, I'll have to ask His Your Majesty to take you back to Shurima!"

"Fine, I'm leaving!" Renekton angrily shook his head.

When we got back to the beach, it was completely dark, and Lucian was waiting for us on the boat.

Everyone jumped on board. If I hadn't used the Wind Force to support it, the small boat wouldn't have been able to hold so many people.

The ship was crystal clear and looked like it was made of glass. I was familiar with this material: Hextech creations.

Did you buy this little boat in Piltover?

"No, it was given to me by Captain Gangplank. He must have gotten it from Piltover trading."

Lucian knew Nasus and Renekton; we met together, so I simply introduced him to Oken and Djis. He also told us about his experiences on this trip:

About two weeks ago, Lucian set off again to investigate the Shadow Isles. As always, after patrolling for a few days and finding nothing unusual, he prepared to return.

But before he could leave, the thick fog on the Shadow Isles suddenly thinned out, and he was fortunate to have clear visibility. He decided to go Shadow Isles to investigate the situation on the island and escape if he encountered any danger.

He hadn't found anything the first two days, but now the fog was thickening again. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw a woman's figure.

Although he only caught a glimpse of her, Lucian recognized her figure immediately, because it was this woman who had rescued him and brought him to Zaun when he and his wife Senna were in danger last time!

Unfortunately, Lucian tracked the woman for several days without finding her, only then realizing he had gone too far and even his tracking device had malfunctioned.

As the number of undead and Skeleton Soldier gradually increased, and his food supplies ran out, he hurriedly fled towards the shore. Had he not been experienced, he probably would have been lost in the Shadow Isles.

In short, we didn't encounter any danger this time and successfully found Lucian, so the trip wasn't a waste.
