Monster Hunter from League of Legends

Hearing this, there was silence. Then Garen said in a complicated tone: "And brought the nightmare to Demacia as well?"

"Yes."

Faun shrugged.

Chapter 38: Exploring the Shadow Isles.

After hearing the reason why the nightmare came to Demacia, Garen's face became complicated. He obviously did not expect that the nightmare would cause such great harm to Fosbyro because of the exploratory spirit of a Demacian.

"It really is... a complex feeling."

Galen didn't know what to make of Jens Stolman.

As a Demacian, Garen may come across as serious, rigid, and solemn. However, as the eldest son of the Crownguard family, Garen never let his upbringing separate him from the crowd. On the contrary, before officially becoming a Fearless Vanguard, Garen used his leave from the army to roam Demacia and the southern kingdoms of Valoran as a ranger mercenary.

Galen knew that some of these adventurers, even mercenaries, weren't driven solely by money, but by their own ideals. Just like in distant Piltover, the Explorers' Guild there was dedicated to uncovering humanity's lost history.

Galen has great respect for those who risk their lives for their ideals.

But now... perhaps even Jensstroman himself didn't know that his expedition had caused such great damage to Runeterra, Valoran, and Demacia...

"Are you sure it's Jens Stolman? Is he still in Demacia?"

Galen asked.

"I think so. I don't know."

Faun shook his head.

"But even if he were still alive, he'd probably be quite old by now. After all, your great-grandfather alone has been missing for over sixty years. Considering the time Jens Stolman left for the Shadow Isles, he'd be over a hundred years old now, right? ... Yeah, by that calculation, he's probably dead."

Faan seemed a little emotional - in fact, he also wanted to meet Jens Stolman, because he held the key props to enter the Shadow Island.

"Although I don't know where Jens Stolman is, I remember that he did come to Fosbyro."

This is not nonsense, because in LOR, the existence of nightmares is extended through Tommen's investigation notes. And in the notes, he also recorded at the end that he was going to Fossbarrow.

Thinking of this, Fane's face was full of interest.

There are many theories about why Nightmare appeared in Demacia, some of which are even conflicting. The most important reason is that Riot Games gave the writers a lot of freedom and paid no attention to the game's background. It's hard to imagine that a game company would change its script so frequently and so casually.

In this case, even though he knew a lot about the background stories of League of Legends and had seen the original text of the ten-thousand-year history of Lissandra in Freljord, this world was still full of mysteries for Faan - for example, before this, Faan knew that Freljord was cold, but he didn't know that the air was rich in ice magic.

The same is true of Nightmare's story—Nightmare's origins in the League of Legends universe lie within the broader realm of Runeterra, unlike the clearly defined origins of Garen and Darius. This stems from their elusive nature, and their origins lie outside the physical realm. This means they can appear anywhere, provided they have the necessary resources.

However, in League of Legends, some demons, such as Nightmare and Evelynn, originate from the Shadow Isles. According to Fane's speculation, this is probably related to the Shadow Isles being the only place where the material and spiritual realms overlap and intertwine.

The spiritual place of Runeterra.

And now...

"Come and let's embark on a thrilling adventure."

Fane held the Flying Dragon Sword and said excitedly:

"We are now at the intersection of the Shadow Realm and the Spirit Realm. Although the Black Mist of the Shadow Isles is also present, its effects have been diluted by the Nightmare Curse of the Shadow Realm. As long as the spirit is strong enough, the Black Mist will not take away the soul. And Nocturne is somewhere here. Find him, kill him, and then Fosbarrow, and even all of Runeterra, will be freed from the nightmare."

After hearing what Fane said, Galen and the others looked at each other, then nodded firmly.

"For Demacia, this is our unshirkable responsibility!"

"Yes."

The bearded Fearless Vanguard beside him also agreed and said: "We are Fearless Vanguards. Even if we die, we will not let the name of the Legion be disgraced!"

Upon hearing this, the female warrior Varya, who had destroyed the wolf ship, laughed and said, "At least when future generations set foot on this land and see the traces we left behind, don't think of us as deserters! Instead, let them see the heroic figure of a fearless warrior who fought to the very end!"

"That's enough, sister!"

Rodion, standing by, couldn't help but say, "Let's stop saying such depressing things. Pah, pah, pah!"

Hearing this, Varya looked at her younger brother with an unhappy expression: "Where did you hear this? How can you be more superstitious than the Freljord people..."

As she spoke of the latter part, Varya suddenly realized that there were Freljord people next to her, and she looked at Faan with a guilty conscience - the scene of her brother's knife being crushed into an iron ball by Faan's palm was still vivid in her mind.

"I'm okay."

Faan shrugged. "I'm in the Shadow Isles now, and my nationality has automatically switched to Hylian."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Varya looked confused.

Faan then reiterated, "What I mean is that the Freljordians are not superstitious, but the gods we believe in do exist. For example, the Ice Sisters, and the animal demigods like the ram, phoenix, and bear."

Even after hearing Fane's explanation, Varya still looked skeptical.

Faan glanced at Varya and the others. "At least we can get a response from the gods, maybe even a blessing. Don't you also believe in the Winged Guardian and the Veiled Lady? Have they responded?"

Varya and you looked at each other and didn't say anything else.

The Angel of Judgment, Kayle, truly hadn't responded. And Morgana, the Daughter of the Veil... her assistance was always done in secret, so even if she did respond, few people involved would be aware.

Superstition is something you shouldn't use lightly. Believing in useless things is superstition, like putting purity seals and binary prayers on motorcycles and laptops.

But if you suddenly get enough power and faster internet speed after you put it on, then it’s not superstition, but practice, true knowledge, and loyalty!

Watching Varya fall silent, realizing something, Garen shook his head. There were certain topics that shouldn't be broached casually, especially in diplomatic relations. For example, among Demacia's southern allies, many valued mages, and this demanded respect.

Clearly, some of the Fearless Pioneers needed some education in political etiquette.

-

There are too many complaints about the new season CG. I'm thinking about releasing a free miscellaneous chapter that doesn't count as an update. If you want to read it, leave a message. If you don't want to read it, forget it. It won't take long anyway.

Chapter 39 Antidote.

While Garen was thinking, Fan on the other side was actually looking at Garen.

Regarding the Shadow Isles, Demacia wasn't completely ignorant. At least, in Faan's impression, while Demacia seemed isolated, it had participated in countless major events. Among them was the Shadow Isles, and at one point, they landed on the land and explored it, but in the end, they were completely wiped out, and no further news was heard...

Similar to the Freljord, the Shadow Isles also have their own unique field magic. And unlike the Freljord's ice magic, the damage of the Shadow Isles directly affects the soul. Without specialized magic items, trying to delve into it is tantamount to seeking death.

But for now, within the range that overlaps with the shadow realm, as long as one's will is strong enough, one can be immune to a certain extent.

As they walked in, Fossian beside them had a look of doubt on his face, and it seemed as if he wanted to say something, but every time he came to his lips he fell silent, which seemed a bit strange.

Seeing this, Fane said directly: "Did you find anything?"

"……Um."

Fosien nodded, then opened his hand, and his right arm transformed into a drifting black mist. He said, "I can always feel the shadows around me whispering to me, urging me to leave."

Hearing this, Fahn walked forward and shook his head after feeling it for a moment.

"My knowledge of shadow magic and the spiritual realm is limited... But it's okay. I can arrange a consultation with a specialist for you."

As he spoke, Faan directly said: "Grimoire, Lissandra, Alora."

The tome flew out, and after a few pages flipping, two mirrored video invitations popped up. A moment later, Allura and Lissandra accepted the invitations, their faces a mixture of enthusiasm and aloofness.

"What happened?"

Lissandra asked.

"Is there another problem?"

Alora looked very surprised: "Didn't we just finish chatting?"

"There was an accident."

Faan pulled Fosian over and explained his situation. Lissandra and Allura were surprised to hear that Fosian had been fighting in the spiritual realm for over sixty years, and that even his body had been assimilated by the spiritual realm's matter.

"A precious specimen."

Lissandra's long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and her cold eyes narrowed into an elegant white. "Based solely on feelings, it's more like a contamination of matter by the spiritual."

"It's also possible that the soul was strengthened in the spiritual realm, but the body couldn't bear it."

Hearing this, Allura, who was standing beside her, adjusted her glasses with a serious expression and said, "But every spiritual realm is different, so we still need to study the reasons carefully!"

"what should I do?"

Faun inquired.

"Give us some of his substance."

Allura said.

Fain looked at Fossian beside him. As for what he was and what state he was in, Fossian didn't waste any words. Instead, he opened his arms and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Anywhere."

Allura said.

Hearing this, without waiting for Fossian to react, Fane pulled out his hunting knife and cut off two palm-sized pieces of flesh from the outside of Fossian's thigh. Just as Fossian cried out in pain, Fane directly brought the recovery medicine to Fossian.

"It's better to have a short pain than a long one. Take some medicine and you'll be back in a few minutes."

Fosian didn't say anything, but drank the recovery potion in one gulp.

Confident enough in his recovery medicine, Fane sent Fosian's things to the Freljord cold storage laboratory through the portal.

After a few breaths, Fosien, whose face had turned pale from the sudden pain, breathed a sigh of relief and stood up again. But Alora continued her research and testing. The others, with nothing else to do, quickly packed up their gear, just like Fain had done before, and decided on their supplies and their next direction.

The main problem was Lux—she was undoubtedly the core of the team after Faan. Maintaining mental fortitude for a long time could lead to mental exhaustion. In this case, Lux's radiant magic could effectively dispel the darkness, ensuring that everyone could rest in complete relaxation.

It may not sound like a big deal, but in such a tense environment, even just a few minutes of deep sleep can be of great help to physical strength, energy, and even morale.

And if there really is a problem, the power of Lux's 'Demacia Flash' should not be underestimated - at least that's what Xiaona is very concerned about now.

Shawna had trained diligently for over a year with Frey, only to find herself pampered. Lux's first full spell release was enough to wipe out the entire area with a single beam cannon. This was a huge blow to Shawna...

In response, Fain patted Xiaona on the shoulder and comforted her: "That's right."

"My dear teacher, you don't need to comfort me if you don't know how to comfort me."

Xiaona couldn't help rolling her eyes - she had already realized that her teacher didn't mind the status of master and apprentice, and was even happy to see students show their nature and treat them sincerely.

Although this sounds good, as a classic shady character, Xiaona still believes that this is a trap set by Faan deliberately to lower her defenses, so that she can fall into his clutches step by step without knowing it... But it doesn't matter, she can also take this opportunity to learn more.

As for Shawna's behavior of wanting to be free and liberated, but still having to interpret it with her own dark thoughts before being able to relax and accept it with peace of mind, Fine said: "Everyone will be obedient when the British police arrive in Belgium."

"You also have talents that you haven't discovered yet, but before you can master these powers, you must have a good mindset and cognition."

No one noticed, and Fain patted Xiaona's butt:

"When great power falls into the hands of twisted and twisted people, it will only lead to greater disaster."

"Like falling into the hands of a sex maniac."

Shawna shifted her hips.

"really."

Fine's hands stayed on his butt and continued to go deeper.

After resting for a while, Alola beside them also brought new news.

"We've found the problem. This gentleman must have been marked by a demon."

Allura said, "If this gentleman returns to the material realm, then this demon might target him and descend into the material realm to harvest his soul."

"How to deal with it?"

Faun inquired.

"Just kill that demon."

Allura replied.

"I like this simple and crude special medicine."
