he came from the void

"You guys came here sooner than I thought."

A cold whisper came from the fog, and Karn approached him, where Lissandra had been waiting for a long time.The silence here is hopeless, and even the voices in the ice have disappeared.

"Are we in the end?" Kai'Sa also came down, and when she saw Karn and Lissandra standing together, she paused when she untied the rope.

"The abyss is even deeper, but you can walk through it next, follow me."

Lissandra's feet were no more than two steps away from the cliff, the ice on the ground disappeared suddenly in front, and the bottom was still bottomless.

Kahn's desire to know how deep the abyss is has always existed. He poked his head and looked down, seeing the ice fog blocking his vision.But suddenly, something strange happened to his abyssal eyes, his vision suddenly passed through the heavy ice fog, crossed an immeasurable distance, and saw things at the bottom of the abyss.

It was a lake, which Kahn called the lake of the abyss.

The wormhole at the boundary of the two domains is filled with majestic void energy, and the purple abyss is like an ocean of evil light, and the vortex of digestion and regeneration is constant.

However, this abyss was sealed by ice, and the energy was isolated under the ice layer.

Kahn blinked and turned his head. He saw Kaisha looking at him in confusion, reaching out to hold his arm tightly, as if afraid that he would fall.

"How deep down?" she asked.

"Below... it may go all the way to the center of the world, and it leads to the realm where the void exists."

"Abyss..." Kaisha looked into Kahn's eyes and whispered, she knew that what she saw in his eyes was what Kahn saw, and any sudden feeling of fear.

If they moved further to the side and didn't meet Lissandra who was waiting on the ground, they would climb down forever and never reach the bottom.

"We're about to reach the watcher's tomb. It's cold here, even an iceborn can't last long. We have to go quickly." Lissandra began to move in the opposite direction of the cliff, and the ice walls on both sides pinched her. In the middle, there is a bottomless abyss behind, and there is only one way to go.

Lissandra moved quickly, and Karn and Kai'Sa trotted to keep up.

They noticed the source of the cold, just below their feet, the ground was made of dark true ice.

No wonder Lissandra said that even the Iceborn couldn't stay here for long, and even the Iceborn mother let the ice carry her along and never touched the ground.

The frost spread up their boots, and the ice on the soles of their feet was trying to hold them back, and every step was full of hardships.The temperature here is something I have never felt before, even wearing skin armor is painful to the marrow.

But the pain from Chihan woke him up. He trotted and kept moving, trying to minimize the time that his feet touched the ground as much as possible. Stopping here is courting death.

Fortunately, they had done the ice-endurance training beforehand, otherwise their body surface would be frozen if they stood on it for less than ten seconds.He suddenly thought, maybe Lissandra's blood was taken at that time, and the effect might be better.

As they moved forward, the ice walls on both sides became narrower and narrower, like shrinking bottlenecks, until finally they came to a halt in front of a crack.

The width of the crack can only allow a normal person to pass sideways, but for Lissandra, who is distorted by the ice magic and has a figure far beyond ordinary people, it is impossible to pass through the normal method.

"We are born of ice and return to ice. There is no need to resist, the ice will take them away."

She summoned her crampons and sealed herself in a coffin.At the same time, on the opposite side of the crack, a double-horned ice coffin grew, just like her enlarged hood.

Kahn saw how Lissandra's teleportation magic worked—the ice coffin in front of him melted, and the ice coffin in the distance opened, and Lissandra stepped out of it and appeared on the other side of the crack.

"I don't seem to be able to go in directly." Kai'Sa walked to the crack and tried to squeeze through, but the pod would still get stuck in the crack even if it was put down.

She withdrew and said helplessly, "Sure enough, there is no way."

Unless she put away her skin armor and drilled through, but it would be fatal to let her body directly touch Zhenbing.Without the protection of the Void Skin Armor, she would freeze into an ice sculpture in an instant.

"Go through that way, the crack is just a short section." Kahn stepped into the crack sideways, as long as he didn't add a layer of dark armor on the skin armor, he could just slip through this crack, even There is room for an extra finger.

He tried his best to avoid touching those scorching true ice, and after passing through the crack, he came to a huge bowl-shaped underground cavity.

Unexpectedly, he was the only man who got through the gap where the two women couldn't get through.

Kai'Sa also came in through the wall afterwards, and she noticed that the ice surface under her feet gradually changed from turbid to transparent, and the more transparent it was towards the center.

At the same time, a voice seemed to come from under the ice, beckoning them, and she felt the skin on her body squirming, pins and needles, itching.

"Here we are, the Watcher's Bed, the Hall of the Nine," Lissandra said, moving along the edge of the cave, avoiding the center of the cave.Her movements are skilled, without any hesitation, as if she was walking around in her own bedroom.

Kahn looked around, the ice bottom under his feet was a perfect plane, like a black mirror.

The center of the cave is a flat and open space surrounded by a huge and abrupt circle of pure ice.It looks like pillars, distributed along the circular open space in the middle, giving the whole cave a sense of majesty of the lost god.There are nine icicles in total, corresponding to the nine in Lissandra's mouth.

They are like huge shackles, binding the monitor, if it wants to break through the seal, it must first break free from the nine icicles.

Memories flooded back suddenly, and everything in front of him made Kahn feel familiar.

He quickly figured out where this familiarity came from. In the dream, he seemed to have been here before.

It's just that the underground cavity in that dream is bigger than the one in front of me, and I can't see the edge clearly.

"I seem to have been here before..."

Karn's voice stopped Lissandra, and she turned to face him.

"What did you say? Have you been here?"

Chapter 675 Dazzling

Kahn was also very surprised by Lissandra's question. He always thought that Lissandra, as the creator of the dream, knew about that weird dream.

Looking at it now, she doesn't know.

"I've been here in my dreams, but it's a little different."

"What's the difference?"

"Why is there no huge stone spur hanging from the dome here?" Kahn said after comparing the surrounding environment.

"The Mortis stone thorn? The place you dreamed of is not the Nine." Lissandra said, "That's the glare, where the other watcher is."

"Are there many monitors?" Kai'Sa asked.

"Well, there are dozens of monitors invading Runeterra, and several monitors can be observed with the naked eye at the same time, but this is where the seal is weakest."

"As for the watcher you mentioned, it was pierced by the Mortis stone, so we call it the glaring eye."

The situation was even worse than Kai'Sa thought. There were dozens of monitors, and just the weakest one was enough to make people despair.

"Is that glaring...killed?" she asked.

"It's not that easy. Just like me, I'm living well without both eyes. Judging from its dream state, it's still very healthy." Lissandra said. "Don't look at it."

Following the direction that Lissandra's skinny fingers pointed, Kahn could see a huge black shadow under the central ice surrounded by nine icicles, like a sea monster lurking under the sea of ​​ice, but it was darker than anything he had ever seen before. Any sea monster is huge.

"I can feel its presence."

He didn't look down, but even so, out of the corner of his eye, he could see the shadows below.It was tugging at him, it seemed to be pulling his attention...

It was especially difficult to resist this kind of attraction, and Kahn felt that his eyes were constantly trying to break through the control of willpower and glance down, knowing that he saw Lissandra moving calmly on the ice.

Here, blindness becomes a blessing.

They moved to the middle, and on the way they approached an icicle of one of the nine statues. There were dark strands frozen inside, leading to the bottom of the ice. It was not difficult to guess that they all extended from the monitor's body.

Runes are engraved on the icicles, and thin lines are engraved on the surface of the icicles, forming the writing of the runes.

"Tell me, what happened to the mark?" Lissandra asked.

"The edge is still very sharp, it looks like it was carved just now." Kahn examined it carefully.

"Very well, this means that they have not shown any signs of melting for thousands of years."

"But it's completely dark inside." The icicles in front of him suddenly reminded Kahn of tooth decay. The outside looks fine, but the inside is full of corruption.

"Let's get straight to the point. If you're just here to see the Watcher, you can leave. If you want to do anything about it, please tell me your plan first, and I will assist you as much as possible."

"I want to take a part of it as a sample and take it out for research. Will this affect the seal?"

"There will be a little bit, don't you have the ability to predict the future? What did you see?"

Kahn rolled his throat and didn't answer.

He has to try it first to know the answer, and then if the situation is wrong, he will immediately use time backtracking to come before everything happened.

It was his plan to do it under the eyes of the watchers. Although it was simple, it still required great courage to execute it.

"Ka'Sa." He shouted, wanting to call Kai'Sa over to help him carry out the plan, but when he turned around, he found that she had walked to the middle of the ice bottom at some point.

"Ka'Sa!" He yelled again, even harder than before, but for some reason, Kai'Sa didn't respond to his call as if she couldn't hear her, and kept looking down at her feet.

"Oops..." Kahn, who suddenly realized something, subconsciously rushed over, trying to drag her out of the middle, but he just ran a few steps into the middle, and a heavy pressure rose in his mind.

He felt something move in the corner of his eyes, and then a silent weight weighed on him, making him breathless.

Immediately afterwards, his void skin armor changed, and he began to walk forward with his body uncontrollably.But he himself did not have any awareness of this, everything he saw became blurred, as if a thick fog suddenly rose around him, blocking all senses.

Suddenly he couldn't see Kai'Sa, and what he saw was a huge one eye, frozen under the ice, unblinking.

It was a huge, breathtaking, lidless, one-eyed.

There is only twenty feet of solid ice between him and him, and this mere twenty feet of solid ice bears the weight of the entire world.

Dark, curly, tentacle-like limbs around the giant eye, the size of the giant eye dwarfed even Vel'Koz, whom he had seen once in Icacia.

It is like a mountain range that has not yet grown out of the ground, and this is still a relatively small existence among them. Deeper under it, there are more and larger surveillance eyes, secretly harboring suspicions about their world. With the desire to devour.

It's just that Kahn's gaze is completely attracted by it at this moment, and there is wisdom hidden in that gaze, which makes people feel that it is not really asleep.Its gaze seeped into the skin, and he felt that his existence was being analyzed, and his reason was thrown into the boundless dark night...

He glimpsed the eternal illusion again in the strange purple light, his consciousness began to return, and he also realized that he was stepping into the abyss of nothingness.Then he began to back away from this spiritual black hole, eagerly looking away, he saw Lissandra right behind him.

She seemed to have been standing there, as if she had no intention of making a move.Kahn no longer pinned his hopes on this woman, he looked at Kai'Sa again to confirm her location.

He couldn't go there, that would be putting himself in danger again.

So he tried to manipulate her skin armor, from raising her head to stepping her legs, moving away from the center step by step, like moving in a swamp, the pulling force generated by the watchers was constantly pulling them.The skin armor of this void creature is like a layer of iron skin, and the smooth ice surface under her feet is like a magnet that is hard to break free at this time, and the magnetic field is constantly attracting her.

In the end, Kahn desperately brought Kai'Sa out of the watcher's gravitational pull. He shook her shoulders vigorously. Kai'Sa let out a violent inhalation sound like a person waking up from a big dream, but the black shadow seemed to Still swimming in the corner of her eyes, she subconsciously wanted to turn her head to look back, but Kahn held her face down and stopped this extremely irrational behavior.

"Don't! Again! Look! It's over!" Kahn shouted word by word.

Kaisha nodded suddenly, feeling a little more sober, and explained her behavior just now with lingering fear.

"I just glanced at it accidentally, and my spirit seemed to be pulled into a black hole, and then the skin armor was taken over...I know it's not you, but I...I can't control it."

Chapter 676 Breaking Through the Seal

"It's okay, we're all back." Kahn comforted Kaisha, and he would be terrified if this happened to him.

"It seems that your self-control is not bad." Lissandra said softly behind him, and Kahn looked back at her, knowing that this was by no means a compliment.

This woman just had a little idea of ​​rescue, but now she takes this as a test and wants to absolve herself of the crime.

Putting aside the true thoughts in his heart for the time being, Kahn focused on Kai'Sa.

"Now, is it better? If not, we'll quit."

"I'm fine, I can hold on." Kai'Sa clenched her fists, and the suffocating fog dissipated from the corner of her eyes: "There won't be a second time."

The Watcher manipulated her armor to break the seal with her hands, and she wouldn't let it happen.

Kahn gave the package to Kaisha, and he had given a general plan before coming, so Kaisha knew what to do.The advantage of this is that without on-site communication, Lissandra, a blind woman, cannot see the specific process of the plan.

The center of the ice bottom no longer dared to get closer. They walked around the center, looking for the weak point of the seal, and found it immediately.

At the upper position of the second icicle, Kahn saw that the edges and corners of the runes on it were no longer sharp, and became more rounded and soft.At the same time, the darkness in the ice also gave him a feeling that he was about to emerge.This black shadow is no longer hovering at the edge of his vision, it has occupied all of his vision.

"I'm going to break the seal from here and get a sample," he said, and Kai'Sa glanced at the clock, remembering the time.

He didn't use the Eternal Flame to burn the icicle, because it meant he had to open the skin armor first, and doing so would increase the risk a lot.Using the ice ax he had prepared in advance, he hammered into the weak spot of the seal.

Ordinary ice picks failed to break through the black icicles, but gave a strong signal of the darkness within.As if there was a stress response, the darkness inside the icicle swayed, struggling to escape.It poked from the inside, trying desperately to break out of its prison.

It wants to touch them, and keeps trying.

Kahn stretched a hand over the weak spot in the ice, as if reaching for a poisonous snake.

In an instant, the dark matter in the ice attacked the icicle with doubled force, and the icicle couldn't withstand the impact, cracking a spiderweb-like gap.The dark matter gathered into the shape of tentacles, breaking through the seal and shooting towards Karn at lightning speed.

Karn flicked out the arm blade, severing the tentacles.Kai'Sa quickly picked up the tentacles and began to devour and absorb them on the spot, trying to analyze the ingredients inside.

Lissandra muttered silently, then, new ice crystals began to condense on the surface of the pillar, covering the cracks in the spider web.But what she produces is not true ice, and she cannot make pure ice by herself.

What she was worried about happened, and three more tentacles broke through the ice crystal and grew explosively. They shot at the three people respectively, not letting any one go.

Kahn took all of them, and with a storm-like slash, he cut these tentacles into pieces no longer than one finger long.But they are like the heads of a hydra, each time one is severed, more grow back.

One life is two, two is three, three is all things, and the flow is endless.

An alien tentacle stabbed Karn, but was bounced off by the skin armor.It turned to wrap around Kahn's arm, pulling his movements, allowing more tentacles to sneak in and wrap around Kahn's body one after another.

Kahn watched these tentacles grow thorn-like serrated teeth, sawing through his skin armor by constantly swimming around him.He was unable to do enough at first, but the tentacles gushing out from the crack showed no signs of diminishing, just like a broken dam, as the crack continued to expand, more and thicker tentacles gushed out, and then further impacted Fragile rips.

Finally, the entire icicle shattered, and the black matter erupted like magma, covering Kahn from the head in an instant, wrapping him into a cocoon, without even making a sound.In the beginning, as he struggled, the black cocoon kept deforming.The arm blade pierced the black cocoon from the inside out, but more tentacles wrapped him up, completely suppressing his struggle in a few breaths.
