Legends of Runeterra

The disciples of the Sect of Balance discovered that Master Ku Shuo, who had been in seclusion for a long time, suddenly came out of the meditation room recently.

Moreover, his physical condition has greatly improved, his complexion is rosy and he is full of energy.

Given Master Kushuo's prestige in the eyes of his disciples, seeing him reappear would undoubtedly greatly encourage the disciples who were somewhat worried about the landing of the Noxian army.

Sitting in the study room where Ku Shuo usually handles his affairs, the 'Inner Demon Ku Shuo' casually flipped through the documents on the table with a faint smile on the corners of his mouth.

It's no wonder that it's in such a good mood. It possesses all of Ku Shuo's memories and has slowly appeared in front of everyone in the sect over the past few days.

At first, it was a little cautious and followed Ku Shuo's daily habits.

Until last night, the current 'Fist of Shadow' Meimu Yoman Texi, who had completed the mission, and her partner Tano, personally reported the mission status to him.

During the half-hour conversation, both of them, as some of the people who had most frequent contact with Ku Shuo, did not find any problems.

'Xin Mo Ku Shuo' believed that in the current Order of the Balance where 'Violent Heart' Kennen had been lured away, unless it took the initiative to expose itself, there would no longer be anyone who could see through its disguise.

Ignoring the messy table, 'Xinmo Kushuo' left the study and prepared to return to the meditation room.

The formation there had long been modified by it, originally used to expand the perception range and ensure that demons would not disturb the human world.

Now it has become a place to absorb the negative emotions that disturb the spiritual realm and come from the innocent souls killed by the Noxian army.

It was the killing of Noxus that caused the mental turmoil and caused Ku Shuo to have a flaw, which gave the inner demon an opportunity to

As soon as he arrived at the door of the meditation room, a disciple next to him immediately stepped forward.

"Master Kushuo!"

"what happened?"

"Senior Brother Jie is back!"

Hearing the news, a smile appeared on Ku Shuo's face.

"Tell him to come over and tell me the situation on the front line!"

"Yes, Master!"

...

He didn't hurry along the way, but with Jie's strength, he returned to the mountain gate after more than a week.

He sighed slightly in his heart, took a step forward, and walked slowly in at the same pace as usual.

Not long after returning to the room, there was a knock on the door.

"what's up?"

"Brother Jie, Master Kushui wants you to come over and report the situation!"

"Okay, I know!"

Jie put the kunai and shuriken into his clothes.

After everything is ready, slowly walk towards the meditation room.

...

Standing outside the door, Jie looked at the door which was no different from usual.

After hesitating for a moment, Jie raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Come in, Jie!"

A familiar voice came from inside the door, still so calm and peaceful.

"Shua~!"

Gently push open the door and walk into the meditation room.

"Disciple, pay your respects to the Master!"

"Hurry up, Jie. You've had a hard time on this journey. How's the situation at the front?"

"Master, the Noxian army..."

When the situation at the front line was mentioned, Jie immediately perked up and spoke, describing the details one by one.

When Ku heard this, his originally calm face frowned slightly.

"Master, this is the situation. I expect Noxus to make new moves during my return!

This is the moment of Ionia's survival, please consider it!"

Jie fell to his knees in front of Ku Shuo with a thud.

"Quit this...Okay, get up quickly!"

As Ku said this, he stood up and walked in front of Jie, ready to help him up.

Facing Ku Shuo's outstretched right hand, Jie naturally put his hand on it.

"Hoo~!"

Flame-like spiritual energy burned from Jie's entire body.

It transformed into mysterious symbols and instantly enveloped the bitterness.

In less than a second, Jie successfully trapped Master Ku Shuo by permanently burning the spiritual energy in his body.

next moment.

"Pfft!"

The sound of a blade piercing through flesh was heard.

Jie held a specially made kunai and stabbed it into Kushuo's heart.

"Uh…"

Ku Shuo looked at the disciple in front of him, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Why... why..."

"Stop pretending. No matter how well you hide, you can't cover up that disgusting smell!"

Jie loosened his grip on Kusho's left hand, took out a shuriken from his waist, and quickly shot it around the meditation room.

He formed a seal with one hand and quickly set up a silencing barrier.

Then he tightly grasped the hollow-carved silver kunai in his hand, which looked like a work of art, and stabbed it into Kusho's chest until the tip of the kunai emerged from his back.

What flowed out of Ku Shuo's chest was not normal bright red blood, but an unknown liquid that was dark and sticky like ink.

“Swish!”

The pitch-black liquid came into contact with the silver kunai, making a corrosive sound.

"Uhhhhhh!!"

Ku Shuo's mouth opened all the way to his earlobes, revealing his densely packed, needle-like teeth.

The whites of his eyes turned pitch black, with a scarlet rice-like dot of light in the center.

The body rapidly grew and mutated, and the robe was torn, revealing a body covered in spikes.

The originally peaceful and tranquil atmosphere suddenly became distorted and strange.

Faced with this horrific scene, Jie did not waver at all and chanted a spell in a low voice.

The spiritual flame, which was already burning violently, surged again.

The spiritual flames covered the entire floor of the meditation room, with the highest point directly reaching the mortise and tenon dome that was more than five meters high.

In contrast, Jie's naturally shiny white hair gradually became dry and dull.

The stern face was also aging at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Secret: Burning Soul to Kill Evil!"

With Jie's light shout, the flames rushed towards Ku Shuo's body like a wave.

Faced with the spiritual flames that were about to pounce on it, it wanted to mobilize the power of shadow to resist, but the kunai that pierced its heart locked its power.

Then, the flames covered its body directly.

"Uh ah ah!"

The inner demon let out a heart-wrenching, inhuman wail.

Under the burning of the spiritual flame, a large amount of black mist rose from Ku Shuo's body.

Ku said that his alienated and twisted body slowly shrank and returned to normal.

His skinny and scarred body was revealed between his torn robes.

After a long time, when there was no more black mist coming out of Ku Shuo's body, Jie slowly put away the spiritual flame.

"Hoo~!"

Jie let out a long sigh and quickly took out the secret medicine in his arms and swallowed it.

After a while, Jie's face, which was as pale as paper, regained a little color.

"Uh…"

Ku Shuo let out a low moan and slowly opened his eyes, revealing normal human eyes.

"Grandmaster!"

Jie took a step forward and came to Ku Shuo, kneeling down on one knee.

His confused eyes gradually focused, and Ku Shuo looked at the disciple who was kneeling in front of him, then looked down at the black and broken kunai on his chest, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
