War's Rhythm
After a few days, we still haven't figured out the leader of another group of dark descendants, and they took the lead in taking action.🎄🐼 ➅9sùx.ČόM 😾🐟
Sylas and Quinn each led four Vastaya to attack from both sides, while another group of three Vastaya came south from the northern mountains, launching a three-pronged attack on us.
Eleven Vastaya —that's no small number!
Based on our understanding, Sylas is immune to Natural Power and magical attacks, so Fiora, Garen, Poppy, and Tristana, who are skilled in Martial Arts, will be chosen to fight him.
Quinn excels at crossbows and perception. Her Vastaya partner's abilities are currently unknown, but he is estimated to be good at ranged attacks as well. Therefore, we have assigned Jarvan, Shvana, Lucian, and Morgana to fight him.
As for the three unknown Vastaya, Kayle and I will deal with them. If we both give it our all, I believe we can win quickly.
The War Aspect and the Four-winged Angel are not something these nameless Vastaya can contend with.
After discussing the matter, we each set off. We must not engage in battle at our base camp; the more desolate and uninhabited the place, the better!
Kayle and I followed the clues we had gathered and headed north. On the way, we encountered two dragon riders who were on their way back with a message when they happened to run into us.
Not long ago, they learned that one of the three Vastaya in the north had been killed, and the other two had stopped advancing and were searching for the killer!
Killing the Vastaya is no easy task. Who is secretly helping us?
The war hasn't officially started yet, Garr probably won't make a move. And to kill Vastaya, one would need at least my strength.
After thinking it over for a while, I think Jax is the most likely candidate. He's been traveling around looking for someone who can deal with the Vastaya, and now it's time for him to make his move!
"Do you have any ideas Yasuo?" Kayle asked me.
"It could be someone I know; in any case, they're definitely our friend."
"The remaining two Vastaya have stopped attacking us. Where should we look for them?"
"You're right. This friend helped us, but also ruined our plans. For now, we have no choice but to stay here."
Kayle and I decided to stay put. This place is neither too far nor too close to our settlement, allowing us to fight the Vastaya while also being able to return to provide support at any time.
But the matter didn't end there. The next day, scouts brought news that another Vastaya had been killed ahead of us!
Well, that's great. I haven't even seen one of the three Vastaya, and two of them are already dead. Does that mean this unknown friend has taken care of them all without us even lifting a finger?
Two days later, new news arrived: Fiora and Jarvan were locked in a fierce battle, but Fiona still held the upper hand overall; however, killing the Vastaya would not be easy.
Since we only have one enemy left, there's no need for both of us to stay here. I told Kayle to keep a close watch while I headed towards Jarvan alone.
Their battlefield was at the foot of the mountain. When I arrived, a fierce battle was raging, and the evenly matched fight tilted because of my arrival.
These four Vastaya are all very powerful. Since they have already transformed into Vastaya forms, I can't tell which one is Quinn, but it doesn't matter. This way, I won't hesitate any longer.
Under our all-out fighting, two Vastaya soon couldn't hold on any longer. They retreated as they fought, seemingly trying to escape.
We retreated to annihilate them, and of course I wouldn't allow them to escape. Taking advantage of one of their distractions, I used the Gale Sword to cut off his head.
The situation has now become five against three, and the outcome is clear. Just as I was about to kill the second Vastaya, a gunshot rang out, and the powerful dark energy forced me to retreat.
"At this moment, the curtain begins to rise, and all my actors enter."
"I've tried to kill you so many times, and you still survived. You really are an immortal cat."
Jhin and Yerlanriel appeared, accompanied by two other Vastaya, suddenly making a total of six people, putting us at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.
I was quite surprised when I first saw him, because Ryze killed him with his own hands on Zhiyun Island, but now I know that Ryze is that That Great One.
It's likely that he didn't kill Jin at the time, but rather helped him escape.
Thinking about it carefully, this has happened many times before. Whether it was Sylas at the beginning or Syndra, Jhin, and others, they would inexplicably be teleported away whenever they were about to be killed by us. Ryze really went to great lengths.
However, he only cared about the more powerful Vastaya; he disdained the nameless ones.
Moreover, when we last met on the Shadow Isles, he was very weak because he used the power of the World Rune, so he probably can't even take care of these powerful Vastaya now.
Now all we need to do is find an opportunity to kill them; there's no one to save the day!
We clashed again, and this time the opposing team had a numerical advantage, making the fight a bit tough.
Jarvan could basically hold his own against his opponent, but Shvana struggled and had to rely on Morgana's help to maintain the situation.
Lucian wasn't faring much better. His Anti-Magic Gun and Blink were powerful, but they also consumed a lot of energy. Failing to win quickly meant defeat, and Jhin's arrival completely robbed him of his chance.
"Lucian, go help Shvana, you two take on one!"
"We're already short-handed; how are we going to handle one of you if there are only two of us?"
"It's alright, I can handle three enemies by myself. Jarvan and Morgana can gain the upper hand, you two just need to hold on!"
Jin let out a dry laugh upon hearing my words, "Heh heh... This scene wasn't in my script. You'll pay the price for your arrogance!"
Before he could finish speaking, Lucian's bullets had already been fired, and Jhin, transformed into a large black cat, began fighting the two.
After half a day of fighting, I know that the Vastaya who fought Morgana was Quinn. She also grew wings, and I wonder if she has any connection with Valor.
I glanced furtively at Jarvan's side; he had already gained the upper hand. I mustered my strength and focused on dealing with the remaining three enemies!
In a situation where you are outnumbered, especially when facing a powerful enemy, it is unwise to engage in a direct confrontation. Using Wind Force attacks might be somewhat effective, but it consumes too much energy.
The wisest choice at this point is to use Wind Blade to restrain them and figure out their skills first.
The three Vastaya I fought were a boar, a toad, and an insect-shaped Vastaya, though I couldn't tell exactly what kind of insect they were.
Wild boars possess brute strength and stamina; wielding spiked Wolf Fang, they exude a powerful aura of ferocity.
The toad's weapon is a shield, which can protect two of its companions at the same time. It also occasionally spits out a disgusting sticky substance.
Insects are not very agile when they fly, but they are quick and can also make a noise that can disturb their enemies.
The three of them were quite well-rounded in both offense and defense, but even with my full defensive effort, they rarely managed to get the upper hand!
