The Destruction Array
When I mentioned Levo just now, I thought again of the magic circle in Lux's mansion. There is Levo's body in the crystal coffin in the center of the magic circle. ♢😎 .ᶜσм 😲🐒
I haven't told anyone about this; I wanted to discuss it with Fiora first, and now is the perfect opportunity.
"When I returned this time, I saw Lux in the City of Light. All the servants in her manor were mages, and she was resurrecting Leivo. I saw Leivo's corpse."
"What?!" Shocked and incredulous, Fiora abandoned her usual composure.
"I saw it with my own eyes, there's no mistake, but I haven't told anyone about it, only Riven and I know. What do you plan to do?"
"When they cleaned up the battlefield, they didn't find Leivo's body, which is why there were rumors that he had turned into the Judicator. How come he's with Lux now?"
"I don't know about that. Regardless of how she did it, that's definitely the case now."
"No! I can't let her do that! Lux has been kidnapped by Sylas, this spell will definitely be delayed. We need to go to the City of Light now!"
I thought Fiora would hesitate after hearing about it, after all, it was her beloved younger brother, but I didn't expect her to be so decisive. When it comes to matters of principle, she never lets personal feelings interfere.
We set off immediately, since there was nothing else to do at the moment, and Fiora hadn't received a summons from the king.
The City of Light is located north of Demacia, very close to the location of Sylas's Rebel Army, so the turmoil here is greater than elsewhere. We must proceed with extreme caution, otherwise, if we are mistaken for nobles, it will be difficult to advance any further.
I didn't know who Lux's servants were loyal to, so I didn't rush over and decided to wait until night to take action.
Fiora had changed into civilian clothes, but her aura was undeniable; we always felt like we were being watched as we walked down the street.
For safety's sake, we found a secluded place to hide. These mages aren't exactly experts at stealth.
After a long and arduous wait until nightfall, we took action and broke into Lux's house with almost no difficulty.
As I expected, there was no one around, not even a gatekeeper. If the servants hadn't followed Sylas, they would likely have gathered at the Magic Circle.
Having been here not long ago, I knew the location of the Magic Circle very well. Just like last time, we hid in the shadows on the second floor and watched as the servants slowly gathered and began to talk.
Is everyone here?
"Soon, how is Madam?"
"She was taken away by the Freed Ones and is out of immediate danger. We can continue with what she instructed before she left. If the plan goes smoothly, Lord Leivo will be resurrected tomorrow!"
A single sentence from the servant gave us a lot of information.
Firstly, Sylas won't harm Lux, which suggests that besides being enemies, the two have another layer of relationship.
Otherwise, given these mages' attitude towards nobles, no noble who falls into their hands could survive, especially Lux, a key figure.
Of course, it's also possible that Sylas used her as a hostage to threaten Garen, but this is impossible to speculate on.
In addition, Lux had already given instructions before she left, so the resurrection magic could continue, and these people were still quite loyal to her.
Most importantly, Leivo is about to be resurrected!
After all the servants had gathered, I counted them—seventeen in total. Two stood by and directed the others, while the other fifteen performed the spell together.
Fiora saw Leivo in the Crystal Coffin, her eyebrows furrowed, her body trembled uncontrollably, and she seemed on the verge of exploding!
I quickly steadied her shoulders. "Don't act rashly, we need to make sure no one escapes."
"I will never forgive them! Those damned beasts, how dare they insult the dead like that! Why did Lux do this? She was already married, and even if Leivo were to be resurrected, Demacia would never accept her."
"I'm afraid she wants to elope with Leivo and disappear from the world forever," I said, offering my guess.
"I would have done the same if I were in that situation." Riven never considered the occasion when she spoke, directly revealing her thoughts.
I quickly chimed in, "Stop talking nonsense! Go guard the main gate. If anyone tries to escape, stop them. Fiora and I will catch them all!"
"Good, watch out for their magic!"
Riven quietly left, and soon after, Fiora and I rushed down.
The monks were startled by the sudden appearance of the people. "Who are you? Why have you appeared so suddenly?"
"I am your terminator!" Fiora didn't bother with any more words and thrust her sword straight at them.
These were no ordinary mages; their magic was extremely violent and their attacks were incredibly powerful. However, Fiora, consumed by rage, had transformed into a deadly rose, and with two swift strikes, she ended the lives of both of them.
"They are not ordinary people, quickly release the formation!" The leading mage rallied the remaining people together and released a bright red formation.
No matter how fast a person is, they can't outrun a magical beam of light. Fiora was immediately struck and rendered unable to move.
It turned out to be a powerful binding spell!
I didn't make a move at first, worried that they would escape at the same time and Riven wouldn't be able to defend against them, but now it seems I have no choice but to take action.
Seeing that they had easily controlled Fiora, they became a little arrogant, thinking that I would do the same. They used their binding magic to attack me again, but the Wind Riding Technique was very effective against magic, and their strength was no match for the wind wall.
This is the second time I've used Wind Wall. Last time, I used it to block Riven's killing move. This time, because I'm more skilled, the area of Wind Wall has almost doubled, and it's very easy to use, almost like a casual swipe.
"This guy's tough, everyone be careful!"
"Be careful? I'm afraid you won't survive just because you're careful!" I gripped my Gale Sword and charged into the enemy ranks.
A fierce wind swirled around the blade, cutting through iron like mud, let alone flesh. In several charges, I severed the necks of five people.
Including the two Fiora killed, they now have half their casualties. To my surprise, they didn't run away, but instead drew their daggers and attacked me!
It turns out these people aren't just simple mages; they're also skilled in physical attacks, and their teamwork is quite good!
Unfortunately, the Wind Sword Sect's techniques are least afraid of defeating the many with the few!
I weaved through the crowd, relentlessly attacking the mages, and soon rushed to Fiora's side to free her from her restraints. Now they had no chance of winning!
As Fiora and I launched our fierce attack, the mages fell one by one, until only two remained to put up a last-ditch resistance.
We deliberately left them alive because we still have many questions to ask them.
