The Indomitable

For reasons unknown, Noxus Emperor Darkwill decided to invade Ionia. ♟✎ 👻♪

The commander in charge of this battle was the renowned Blackfeather commander Swain. Despite his extraordinary strength, he lacked confidence in fighting a poorly prepared war.

To compensate for the shortage of soldiers, Swain drastically lowered the age limit for enlistment, and many teenagers were drafted into the war.

Among this group of Boy Scouts was a boy named Siddhartha Kayn, who, unlike the trembling children, was passionate about war from the very beginning.

People always like to bully those weaker than themselves, but Kayn different; he likes to challenge those stronger than himself.

When he was young, he often fought with kids who were stronger than him, and he never backed down even when he was covered in bruises.

So when facing the enemy, those kids who usually showed off all cowered in fear, but Kayn alone showed no fear.

In the early stages of the war, the Noxus army made good progress, but after the Ionia united, they began to encounter frequent setbacks.

At this point, due to heavy casualties among the troops, Boy Scouts began to fill the gaps, and Kayn's team was also sent to the front lines.

The officers soon discovered the remarkable effectiveness of the Boy Scouts, because the kind-hearted Ionia couldn't bring themselves to harm the children. In war, compassion equals defeat, especially when one is at a disadvantage.

Later, Zed changed the situation. He led his followers of the Balance to kill the Boy Scouts everywhere to ensure that the Ionia alliance would not be hampered.

This practice greatly contributed to the victory in the war, but it also earned the Locust a lot of notoriety and had a very negative impact on the Kinkou Order.

However, this is exactly what piqued Kayn's interest. He liked Zed's ruthless approach to victory and also appreciated his disciple's strong combat skills.

At this point, Kayn began to consider betraying Noxus. He hadn't joined the army out of honor or loyalty, but for the sake of fighting.

No matter how brave you are, you'll only be cannon fodder in Noxus, but in the Kinkou Order, you might become a powerful warrior.

Driven by this idea, Kayn deserted for the first time in the face of battle. He secretly followed the disciples of the Balance to the main camp and sneaked into Zed's tent at night.

Kayn raised his dagger and thrust it forward, but Zed gripped his wrist tightly. Zed had already spotted the stalker, and Kayn knew he couldn't succeed.

"Noxus Scouts?" Zed said coldly.

"It used to be, but it's not anymore."

"So who are you now?"

"I am your disciple."

Zed stared at Kayn for a moment, then slowly released his grip. "If you survive the war, I'll take you as my apprentice."

Kayn's decision proved to be correct, as the Ionia forces soon achieved victory, inflicting heavy casualties on the Noxus army, with the Boy Scouts almost completely wiped out.

When Kayn returned to Zed with the heads of several soldiers, Zed kept his word, but instead of accepting him as a disciple of Balance, he made him a disciple of Shadow.

Zed saw his younger brother's shadow in Kayn: not particularly talented, but extremely hardworking, and with an added ruthlessness, he might become an outstanding warrior.

In fact, Kayn not only lacks talent, but he's also clumsy than others, leaving himself covered in injuries no matter how simple the task.

However, there is one thing that others cannot do, and that is that they have never failed.

It might be a little slow, it might be a little rough, but he can complete any task assigned to him by Zed.

What truly devastated Kayn was seeing Zed's true face for the first time.

He thought his master must be a young man in his thirties, but he didn't expect him to look not much older than him. Later, he learned from other disciples that his master was not even twenty years old.

Shocked, Kayn smiled. He had always longed to find a peer to rival, and his master was the perfect choice.

From then on, he made robbery his goal, challenging him every time he made a little progress, and never giving any notice, but assassinating him whenever he had the chance!

This caused Zed considerable trouble. "Given time, perhaps you can become a pillar of the Shadow Stream," he praised Kayn.

Later, Zed learned that Shen had taken control of Kennen and planned to poison the entire Kinkou Order, so he immediately organized his disciples to rescue him.

Kayn was unable to participate because he was seriously injured during his recent challenge against Zed, and he was filled with regret.

Unfortunately, this regret became a void in his life. He tragically died in the calamity, and he never had the chance to challenge his master again.

From then on, the Shadow Stream scattered in all directions, but Kayn remained living in Zed's former residence.

He heard that Zed was killed by his own brother, which meant that the younger and more powerful person was Zed. He wanted to inherit his master's name, become the Master of the Shadow Order, and storm the Kinkou Order to take revenge himself!

Just as Zed had thought, Kayn and Shen are the same type of warrior. When they meet, there are not many techniques involved; it is simply a contest of raw strength.

At this time, Shen had just mastered the secrets of Soul Blade, and even Zed was no match for him, let alone Kayn, who was killed before he even left a lasting impression on Shen.

"How could I be so weak? Although it's true that you must experience failure before you can succeed, what's the point of dying? Master, I'm a failed disciple."

"No, you still have a chance. Give me your body, and I'll help you get revenge!"

In a daze, Kayn sensed a voice speaking to him, but he didn't pay it any mind:

"I have no desire for revenge, I just want to become stronger."

"Fool, revenge is the motivation to become stronger; you won't succeed if you only want to become stronger."

"I'm just an idiot, I just want to become stronger. Who are you? Why do you want to take over my body?"

"I am Rhaast, a being who can grant you strength and life."

"Power? Life? Hahaha... Fine, I agree!"

Kayn was resurrected, and found himself with a giant, talking scythe beside him.

The scythe Rhaast, and it has a terrible temper, but Kayn is never afraid of it because he knows the scythe can't live without him.

In their subsequent interactions, he also discovered that he was very similar to Sickle; both were losers, but after each defeat, they would fight back even more bravely.

When the final battle arrived, Kayn could not contain his joy and excitement. He made peace with Rhaast and displayed astonishing fighting power.

Sharp blades pierced his flesh, several bolts of lightning struck his head, raven's poisonous feathers numbed him, and even his own people turned against him.

None of this could defeat Kayn; instead, it made him even stronger. Just as he was about to utterly destroy his enemies, a golden light pierced through his chest...

What was that? A giant serpent with horns? A monk?

Kayn fell; in the end, he was still a loser.
