The Gale Sword Was Broken

I was just about to head out to find Darius when Sivir slowly descended in front of me. 🎈🐠 ☯🍫

She used to greet me cheerfully whenever we met, but now she seems shy and even stutters a bit.

"How are you?"

"You're fine, why have you become so reserved?"

"I don't know either, maybe it'll be fine in a bit, haha. By the way, did you finish the task I gave you last time?"

"You said the child's name?"

"Otherwise what? You haven't forgotten about this, have you?"

"I haven't forgotten, but to be honest, I don't know much about Runeterra's culture, and I'm afraid I won't choose the right one."

"It's okay, you can use the common sense from your original world to name yourself. Your name used to be Zhao Xin, right?"

"Yes, according to our culture, the child should also have the surname Zhao. Since this is a crucial time for defending the Void, let's name him Zhao Shengli (Zhao Victory)."

Sivir looked skeptical after hearing this. "That's so perfunctory. I still think you haven't thought it through properly."

"Then we can use your surname. By the way, you are of Shurima royal blood, but I've never heard of your surname before."

"My ancestors didn't have surnames. Locals in Shurima generally use their tribe's name as their surname, so it's probably Naremajet? Shurima? Sun City?"

"Uh... let's just call him Zhao Shengli then. We can change it later if we have any better ideas."

"How can you just change a name like that? Zhao Shengli, Zhao Shengli... that's not bad, it sounds good." Sivir read it a few times before finally nodding in agreement.

"Where's the child? Isn't he with you?"

"I dare not bring him here. Such a young child cannot use the portal; he is still being cared for by Lord Shetaka."

"I'll go take a look sometime then."

"This... is probably a bit troublesome..."

Sivir seemed troubled, and then told me the reason:

It turns out that Shetaka, like Gu Yang, still hadn't given up on persuading me to leave the war. She wanted me and Sivir to live peacefully on the isolated island of Ionia, far away from this disaster.

Gu Yang didn't give a reason, but only used a beautiful scene to lure me in. Shetaka, however, explained the reason: in fact, Sivir had returned this time to act as a persuader at her behest.

Shetaka said that the Void would not bring destruction, but only new life. When the Void devoured the entire world, the monsters would disappear, taking with them all the evil of the world.

I know this is the result of Ryze's research; he has always believed that the Void can bring so-called purification and freedom.

People who live too long tend to have different thoughts than normal people, and such thoughts are definitely corrupted.

If you really choose to give up, it's no different from a high-stakes gamble; if you win, you get nothing, and if you lose, you'll be bankrupt.

Of course, Sivir won't force me. If I don't want to leave, she will stay with me. It's just that the child will have to be raised by Shetaka.

That's good, it makes his life safer if he's with Shetaka. As for meeting, I believe we'll find a way!

After telling me this, Sivir showed me what she had learned during this time. With Shetaka's help, she could now manipulate the Khopesh more skillfully.

Previously, she could only perform simple spins, but now she can manipulate them at will, just like Sword Control Technique.

Khopesh is extremely sharp, not only in its ability to cut physical objects, but also in its ability to pierce energy forms, such as magical barriers and barriers formed by Natural Power.

Another powerful aspect of it is its ability to restrain other Ascended or Vastaya.

No matter how powerful Ascended, they are no match for Khopesh, provided, of course, that they can hit him.

If Sivir had been as powerful during the Vastaya War as she is now, there probably wouldn't have been so many casualties.

To test its strength, I deliberately conjured a Wind Slash and sparred with Sivir. The moment the transparent Gale Sword touched the Khopesh, the Gale Sword broke!

At first, I was thinking that if I couldn't hold on, I would ask Sivir to stop, but I didn't expect this to happen as soon as we started. I feel very sorry for her.

Sivir looked apologetic. "Oh! I'm sorry, Yasuo, I didn't mean to cut your sword in half!"

"To be honest, I didn't expect it to be so fast. After all, Wind Slash is my most powerful move. Maybe that's a characteristic of Khopesh, and it has nothing to do with its power."

"Then what will you do? How can you fight without weapons?"

"It's alright. The enemies these days are all monsters. I rarely use Gale Sword; I mostly rely on Wind Form to deal with them. But just in case, let's ask Ornn for help!"

Summoning Ornn is much easier than summoning Volibear, and it doesn't require any sacrifices, but his attitude has never been very good.

When we first met, I had a strong prejudice against him. I always felt that he was too negative. Coupled with the cruel Volibear and the neurotic Anivia, it made me feel extremely disgusted with gods.

But I'm much better now. At the time, I was mainly affected by the war and was in a bad mood. Now that I've spent more time with them, I've found that these gods are actually quite adorable.

These ancient beings don't like beating around the bush, so what they say might not be very pleasant; just don't take their words to heart.

I randomly picked a giant ram from Freljord, stared into its eyes, and soon the ram spoke in Ornn's voice:

"It's you again, War Aspect. Who do you want me to forge weapons for this time?"

"I don't need to help anyone this time; my sword is broken."

"The Gale Sword?"

"Hmm, you know this sword?"

"Of course I know. This sword was originally made by me; it's one of my more satisfying... works..."

Ornn became increasingly stammering, clearly realizing that what he was saying was inappropriate.

Since it was a work he was satisfied with, why would he break it so easily? Sure enough, he changed the subject:

"What kind of monster is so powerful that it could break the Gale Sword?"

"Uh... it's not a monster, it's my friend. I wanted to test her training progress, but I didn't expect this sword to be so fragile; it broke as soon as it made contact with her weapon."

I deliberately made the Gale Sword sound terrible. Ornn, being short-sighted, couldn't think that far ahead, and upon hearing this, he couldn't wait to appear.

Like Volibear, he can change size at will, but even in his smallest form, he's more than twice my height. At this moment, he's so angry he's snorting hot air from his nostrils.

"Where is it! Let me see!"

"See, the cut is still fresh."

I handed him the Gale Sword, Ornn looked at it, and then gave me an incredulous look:

"It really was cut open! What kind of weapon could be so sharp?"

"Khopesh is an Ascended Weapon; you may have heard of it."
