Chapter 83

"I can sense the aura of Spirit of Ionia emanating from him... just like my former jailer, and it disgusts me."

"Alright, then wait here for me for a while." Chen Ce patted the girl's head again, then pushed the door open and entered.

But that's fine too.

After all, the captain is not just a "Jailer-like Ionia," he really was Syndra's former jailer.

Kalan, one of the former Nameless.

"Good morning, Mr. Kalan." Chen Ce saw the tall figure as soon as he entered the room, but he did not call him "Captain" - Kalan, whose body was in Noxus but whose heart was in Ionia, actually hated that title.

"Good morning, Mr. Chen Ce." Kalan didn't turn around, and there was an indescribable displeasure in his tone.

He was still resentful about Chen Ce releasing Syndra.

"I've come to keep my promise." But Chen Ce didn't care.

"What promise?"

"The promise to reclaim the Fae'lor Island."

"With that person's power?"

"Yes."

"I've told you... this will ruin everyone." Kalan sighed heavily, but he knew he couldn't stop her. "This is my final advice, Mr. Chen Ce ... her threat and uncontrollability far exceed your imagination; she will destroy all of Ionia ..."

"I'm confident," Chen Ce said firmly.

In this situation, Kalan was completely desperate.

He slowly turned around, his weathered face etched with weariness and exhaustion—his sense of smell, being that of a feline, was very keen, and he had already caught the scent of the person outside the door.

"My sacrifices over the past few years... are a joke, a huge joke..."

"No, Mr. Kalan." Chen Ce shook his head, trying to make his tone sound more peaceful. "It was your persistence that led to the recapture of Fae'lor Island —we were able to crush Noxus's years of military preparedness without firing a single shot."

"Are you already fantasizing about what will happen after you reclaim Fae'lor Island...? Once she takes action, Fae'lor Island will cease to exist, and no one will be able to claim sovereignty over it anymore..."

"Now that things have come to this, why can't you trust me just this once?"

"Heh... I hope she'll show you mercy... Mr. Chen Ce, if you're lucky enough to survive, I hope you can pass on a message to my two boys after you return to Placidium..."

"Sigh... In exchange, you have to cooperate with me today." Chen Ce no longer needed the other party's trust; the facts would happen soon enough, and everything would be proven then.

"Now that things have come to this, do I still have the right to refuse?" Kalan's face was full of bitterness. "It's just a matter of whether I cooperate with you or you force yourself... I'll cooperate then, at least that way you won't resent me."

"Then I'll have to trouble you." Chen Ce bowed slightly, his gaze passing through the glass of the main control room as he looked at the more than thirty warships in the distance.

Without hesitation, Kalan immediately climbed the wooden ladder from the main wheelhouse onto the deck and then forcefully blew the golden horn he carried with him.

A melodious and resounding horn sounded, and all the Noxus soldiers who heard it stopped in their tracks and looked toward the Scarlet Huntress. Even the patrolling soldiers stopped and saluted.

This is the call to assemble.

Moreover, it was an emergency assembly.

In other words... it was an emergency, similar to an attack on a military camp.

In an instant, all thirty-two Noxus warships docked at the pier went on high alert, while the merchant ships that were passing by were urged and driven away by the soldiers.

But Kalan did not stop blowing the horn; instead, he used a different melody to guide the warships to assemble.

Soon, the scattered warships began to gather, and in no time they formed a fleet, with the Scarlet Huntress, where Kalan was stationed, becoming the lead ship.

"Assembled, sir!" Standing atop the largest warship besides the Scarlet Huntress was Kalan's adjutant, the "second-in-command" of Fae'lor Island.

"Very good." Kalan surveyed the soldiers from his high vantage point. "Pass down the order: all soldiers, stand by!"

"Yes, sir!" The adjutant gave a sharp salute, then quickly walked around the cabin to relay Kalan's orders to the two adjacent warships.

The latter then relays orders to their respective adjacent warships.

Within a dozen seconds, Kalan's order spread throughout the entire port.

Thirty-three warships, including the Scarlet Huntress, were packed together, with less than twenty meters between each other.

Seeing this, Kalan put away the golden horn in his hand and silently returned to the main control room along the wooden ladder he had come from.

He stood in front of Chen Ce without saying a word, only giving the other a weary look.

But that was enough for Chen Ce to understand. "Thank you, Mr. Kalan. I won't let you down."

"Hmm, I hope so... I'm a little tired and want to rest for a while." Kalan leaned back in her chair, her eyes slowly closing. "Just let me lie here for a bit... just a little while..."

Given this situation, Chen Ce didn't say anything more, gave a slight bow, and left the main control room.

Syndra had been waiting outside for quite some time.

"Are you done talking?" she asked, tilting her head.

"We're done talking." Chen Ce nodded. "We can get started now."

Now?

"Um."

What should I do?

"Do what you want, and then take down as many Noxus factions as possible."

"Hmm... I mean..." Syndra blinked, her graceful body rising slightly upwards again, and a surge of immense energy instantly filled the entire warship.

Is there anything on this island that you'd like to keep?

Upon hearing this, Chen Ce was taken aback at first, and then couldn't help but laugh.

"Try to avoid affecting the land; everything in this port is at your disposal."

"Okay." Upon receiving an affirmative reply, Syndra immediately unleashed her boundless magical power.

She made a cutting motion with both hands, and with a loud bang, the top of the cabin was ripped open.

Chen Ce stood quietly in place, looking up at the sky through the gap in the warship.

In the distant sky, the last rays of the setting sun were falling as Syndra began to rise, ascending towards freedom. She glanced back one last time at her feet, then looked at Chen Ce inside the warship, a smile once again appearing on her flawless face.

"This repayment to you is just a tiny beginning..."

The entire island was rumbling, as if struck by an earthquake. An earthquake that seemed to last forever.

When everything stopped, a chilling silence enveloped the entire Feilor.

Ahri emerged from the swaying room and looked up. At first, she saw only pitch blackness without stars—she thought she had slept straight through the night. Suddenly, she took a deep breath and realized that what she saw before her were high walls and watchtowers suspended in mid-air.

They didn't fall into the sea; instead, they were uprooted, floated into the air, and then blocked out the afterglow of the setting sun, covering the entire sky.

Ahri was shocked by what she saw. She watched as a Noxus warship docked in the harbor was lifted into the air. People fell from it like ants, crashing to their deaths on the rocks below. The warship rose higher and higher, then suddenly plummeted, crashing into two other ships and shattering them into splinters. The scene of destruction was like a catastrophe from the heavens.

The ruins of the watchtowers in the sky began to float upwards, as if forming a magnificent fortress in the heavens. Syndra sat atop the ruined fortress, her posture arrogant, like a god unleashing divine punishment upon the mortal realm.

Ahri made her way through the swaying corridor, and with her agility and keen sense of smell, she quickly spotted a familiar figure.

"Honey, what are you doing?"

"Hmm?" Chen Ce turned around and felt the fox girl's warm embrace.

And... those two full, soft mounds pressed against my back.

Did I disturb your afternoon nap?

"No, not really, I just woke up~" Ahri snuggled against the other's back affectionately, "You haven't answered my question yet~"

"Oh, you mean Syndra? She's helping me destroy the Noxus fleet."

"It looks a little scary... My dear, you'll surely protect me, won't you?"

"Don't worry, Syndra won't accidentally hurt us."

"Really~~~" Ahri said coquettishly as she secretly slipped her hand into the cloth bag at the other person's waist.

Then he took an empty bottle out of it.

"Ugh~~~ Darling, you gave my salary to that wicked woman again!"

"Well... I'll owe it to her for now." Chen Ce scratched his head sheepishly. "After all, Syndra just woke up from the Dreaming Pool not long ago, and she needs mana to help us attack the Noxian Legion. So, we'll have to use the Corrupting Potion to help her restore her mana for now."

"Hmph! Darling, you're just trying to fool me again!" Ahri puffed out her cheeks in grievance and put the bottle back into the bag.

At the same time, her restless hand took the opportunity to secretly touch the other person's waist.

To be precise, it's a little below the waist.

"Well... my dear, you must give me something to make up for it, right? Otherwise, I'll starve to death!"

"I know, I know. I'll let you absorb some magic power later as compensation." Chen Ce shook his head helplessly.

"Just a little magic?" Ahri narrowed her beautiful eyes, then licked her lips seductively. "Without potions, I'll need to eat something else~"

Chen Ce suddenly had a bad feeling.

Ahri gradually adopted a posture as if she was about to pounce on someone.

Just then, a loud crash came from the shore not far away, abruptly interrupting the two.

Turning my head, I saw Syndra unleashing her immense energy on the dock, annihilating countless watchtowers and several small fishing boats. Not even the broken stone walls and wooden planks remained; they were all crushed into dust.

Fortunately, the fishermen had already fled far away, otherwise innocent bystanders would have been harmed.

Seeing this, Chen Ce knew it was time for him to make a move.

"Sorry, Ahri, well... I'll have to save the matter of making it up to you for tonight." He forcefully pulled at the fox girl on top of him, barely managing to "escape."

Ahri pouted, looking aggrieved, but didn't continue to pester her.

"Tonight... tonight you must sleep with me! I'm going to suck you hard!" She shouted as she watched his retreating figure.

Chen Ce made an "OK" sign as he quickly ran towards the sea.

He quickly reached directly beneath Syndra.

The latter was clearly out of control; her powerful magic was being released without end—once unleashed, her boundless magic was not so easily stopped.

That's what makes her uncontrollable.

But Chen Ce had his own way of dealing with it.

He climbed upwards, stepping on the debris of the warship and the boulders floating in mid-air, and in just a few breaths he approached the out-of-control Syndra.

Upon seeing him, the latter quickly waved his hand, signaling him to stay away.

But Chen Ce will only get closer and closer.

He endured the immense pressure as he approached the girl, and then, after one final thrust, he embraced her tightly.

"Chen Ce... stay... away from me...!" Syndra was terrified—she couldn't control herself, and one wrong move could kill the person she cared about most.

Unfortunately, the person holding her wouldn't let go.

"It's okay, relax."

Syndra was so nervous that her body was trembling slightly.

Chen Ce, however, was confident.

He felt the warmth and softness of the girl in his arms, and whispered four words in her ear:

"The Realm of Death..."

In the dark Death Realm, the Lord of the Death Realm suddenly opened his eyes.

He sensed a familiar presence.

An aura that he loathed and resented.

"Thief... you dare to come back...!"

Chapter Ninety-Four: Consider it an act of self-sacrifice; Unleashed Power upon the Death Realm!

The port on Fae'lor Island was destroyed.

Of the thirty-three Noxus warships, only the Scarlet Huntress remains—though even the Scarlet Huntress wasn't entirely spared, suffering varying degrees of damage to multiple parts, including the deck, making its sinking only a matter of time.
