"...It's weird, I feel like I'm being watched."

Balliard sat on the dragon bird, controlling the shadow to search for nearby information. Within the coverage of the shadow, he did not find any abnormalities. There were no strange creatures within the reach of the naked eye. There were no strange creatures around.

It's just a vast ocean.

In the water? The deep sea? Balliard looked at the seawater and pondered. The deep sea in Runeterra was more or less affected by the void under Runeterra. There were some monsters eroded by the void, but these sea

The power levels of the monsters themselves are not low, and the weak void energy only makes them crazier and more powerful.

If this erosion process can be replicated and effectively controlled, the power of the void really has a chance to become the power of Runeterra, allowing the void to become the nourishment of Runeterra. Hunters and prey may change at any time.

"That's--I'll wipe it!"

Balliard quickly turned his head and saw something like a spear shooting out from the bottom of the water. The spear caused waves about ten meters high in the water.

After Balliard dodged the spear-like thing, the thing was still flying upwards. At this time, Balliard noticed that there was a rope connected to the spear, and went to catch it? Of course it was impossible.

, Escape is the most important thing. No matter who the guy is under the water, Balliard doesn't want to fight him in this place.

You must know that Balliard is currently at an altitude of 10,000 meters. Although it is still a long way from the star realm, it is almost impossible to encounter attacks from ground creatures when flying at this altitude. However, the thing under the water

Guys, they are not considered ground creatures.

And the man under the water can throw a... rope and spear from the deep sea. Is this a harpoon? Balliard already has a suspect in his heart, but whether it is that guy or not, he can throw a spear from the deep sea.

Launching an attack at high altitude is already very disadvantageous for Balliard.

Because it is impossible for Balliard to lower his altitude, let alone dive into the deep sea, who knows how many strange creatures are waiting for him under the water. Although the extraordinary creatures in the ocean have become difficult to communicate with due to absorbing void energy, if they want to

When it comes to the place in Runeterra that has the most extraordinary creatures, it is definitely the sea. If you dive into the deep sea rashly, you are definitely seeking death. Even if you lower your height a little, you may be swallowed by the guys in the deep sea who jump out of the water.

"Speed ​​up and get out of here."

Balliard gave an order to the dragon bird at his feet, and the harpoon that was already some distance behind him stopped rising and began to fall downwards. He didn't know what the material of the rope was, but it could stretch to tens of thousands of meters.

"Boring rat."

In the deep sea, the demonic figure who withdrew his harpoon saw Balliard gradually moving away and continued to sneak in the deep sea. His direction was - Ionia.

"The feeling disappeared, did you escape?"

Balliard breathed a sigh of relief. In this world line that has been greatly modified, no one knows what will become of the familiar people they meet, let alone those who have only heard of it in rumors.

What have these guys become? In short, it is extremely dangerous to deal with these guys alone.

"At this speed, let's move towards the Mangxing Islands."

…

"Sister Diana."

Anne walked up to a priestess, who was the teacher assigned to her by Kieran and would serve as Anne's guide.

"What's wrong? Annie."

Diana wears a long dress the same color as her long hair, and has a mark of the moon on her forehead.

"Am I the only trainee priest in the sect? When Grandpa Kieran took me to visit the third floor, I didn't even see a few priest sisters who were studying. There were quite a few on the fifth floor."

Anne subconsciously believed that the main job of the priest was to study the scriptures, that is, to stay on the fifth floor. After all, he did not see many people on the third floor, and now, Diana was taking her to study on the third floor.

"No, besides you, there is also a trainee priest. However, she is undergoing the examination of a formal priest and will not be back in the short term."

Diana scratched Anne's face with her finger. A child at such a young age could actually become a trainee priest, and even a transcendent. If she had to wait a few more years, she wouldn't know how powerful this child would be. By then,

, the power of the sect will also become stronger, but is this a good thing?

"Sister Diana?"

Anne looked at Diana who was motionless with her fingers on her face. She was a little confused. Although she was indeed very cute, sister Diana was also quite beautiful. How could she be so entranced just looking at her?

"Sorry, let's continue studying. Where did we just talk?"

Diana suppressed her suspicions. She had been adopted by the Blood Moon Sect since she was a child and received education from the Blood Moon Sect. A few years ago, she successfully became a priest. At that time, she was determined to achieve the highest goal of the Blood Moon Sect.

Ideal - to break the boundary between life and death, connect the world with hell, so that the creatures of Runeterra will never face death again.

For this reason, she did not refuse the demonic sacrifice that every priestess must accept. In fact, if she refused, she would have her relevant memories cleared and be sent to the mental hospital in Besilico, where there were many different people.

Priests who are willing to make deals with demons, who have been trained by the sect but do not intend to contribute to the sect, are bound to

There will be a price to pay.

"I just talked about praying to the moon, absorbing the power of the moon, and establishing a connection with the moon."

Anne didn't understand the reason for doing this at all. Even the meditation of the mages was only improving their mental power, absorbing the surrounding rune energy, and gradually promoting the sublimation of the body through spiritual transformation, and then becoming a transcendent, specialized in

It's not necessary to absorb the power of the moon, right?

"Then let's continue talking..."

Diana has communicated with many peers. She asked those peers if they have obtained power from the moon. Without exception, they all told her "no". It seems that the so-called cultivation method of establishing contact with the moon is actually just a cover.

, the purpose is to strengthen their belief in the moon. Even the seniors who became priestesses a long time ago seem to have failed to establish contact with the moon.

However, Diana did it. Every priestess must summon a demon to combine with her own flesh and blood, so that the two become one. This is an inevitable choice.

Because death on earth means life in hell, and death in hell represents life on earth. According to records in the scriptures, after death of humans and other creatures in Rune Land, their souls will enter hell, where they will be corroded by the power of hell.

Next, they gradually turn into demons. After the demons die, their souls will return to the human world and transform into a fetus, starting a new reincarnation.

The highest ideal of the Blood Moon Sect is to break this reincarnation and achieve a balance. Humans are the "death" of demons, and demons are the "death" of humans. If demons and humans are merged into one, then both humans and demons will have

They have the two properties of "life" and "death", which means that they can live forever.

However, Diana did not summon the devil, she summoned a moon, which merged into her body, and then the mark of the moon appeared on her forehead.

"It doesn't matter no matter how much you talk about these things, right? In history, you are the first person to establish a connection with the moon before becoming a priest. No matter how others try, they will never succeed."

A familiar voice. Annie heard this person's voice "not long ago". He was Yasuo.

"Ceremonial Officer, why are you here? I rarely see you in the church on weekdays."

Diana saluted Yasuo. The ritual officer held a very high position in the church because he was in charge of the rituals of sacrificing the god. He was also the executor of the rituals of sacrificing demons and summoning demons. He was related to the priestesses.

It can be said that all the demons in Rong were summoned by Yasuo, including Diana's moon.

"Having nothing to do, I heard that Beecher died? What a pity. Is this the girl Beecher brought back? Tell me your name."

Yasuo pretended not to know Annie. He actually wanted to find and chat with Balliard. However, after visiting various places in the sect, Yasuo still found no trace of Balliard.

Finally, I had to find Annie.

"Annie, big brother, my name is Anne."

Anne heard from Balliard that Yasuo and Jhin are likely to be their allies. Of course, they may also be their enemies. Everything must be decided after they evaluate the behavior of the Blood Moon Sect.

Before there was any hostility, Yasuo wanted to conceal what he had done before, so Annie couldn't expose him.

"Annie, that's a cute name. You have a brother, right? Where has he gone?"

It's almost the end of the month, and the scarlet moon will appear again. Kieran is asking him to summon a demon again. It is said to be a big deal. I don't know if Jhin can kill the demon this time. If there is Balia,

With the help of virtue, the possibility of killing the demon will be much higher.

"Brother? He got separated from me. He left in the opposite direction to me, which is the direction of where he used to live."

Anne remembered that she revealed to Yasuo that Baliad was the monarch of the Shadow Island. Others would not know that Baliard went to the Shadow Island. They would only think that among the many cities in the north of Besilico, one of them was Baliad.

The place where Dr once lived, but Yasuo is different.

"The bishop is sending people to look for him, right? He also has potential? I have some free time recently, so I can go look for that guy. What do you think, Mr. Bishop?"

The Shadow Island? The Island of the Dead? The blood moon will only appear near the Sea of ​​Watchers, and the Shadow Island is also in the Sea of ​​Watchers. It is the land of the dead, and hell is the destination of the dead. Speaking of blood

The moon and the demon have nothing to do with the Shadow Island, Yasuo would never believe it.

He believed that Balliard would know a lot of things, because Balliard was the king of the Shadow Island, a king of the Shadow Island who had no demonic aura on him. Yasuo often thought about the meaning of this these days. There was someone like him in the Blood Moon Sect.

Does the person who secretly resists the Blood Moon Sect and the monarch of the Shadow Island also not want the demons from hell to come to Runeterra? Or even invade his land?

When Balliard returned to his previous place of residence, he returned to Shadow Island, right? Why did Balliard choose to go back at this time? Is the large-scale ceremony that the bishop is preparing to perform in the past few days related to Shadow Island?

Yasuo wanted to take this opportunity to explore the bottom, under the guise of looking for Baliard, to see what Baliard was doing on the Shadow Island.

"If you want to go, you can, but there are still ten days until the end of the month, so the ceremony officer must come back on time."

Kieran walked in from the door. He looked as if he had just walked here. This was an old man who could manipulate time, an old man who could travel in the timeline.

When the old man left, no one knew what kind of future he had seen and what kind of actions he planned to take.

"understood."

Yasuo responded casually, and Kieran looked at him with deep meaning. Obviously, Kieran knew all the things he did, such as contacting Jhin and killing demons that were successfully summoned. For example, watching Jhin kill

Beecher and others. However, Kieran never stopped him, and Yasuo continued to do so. Maybe Kieran felt that the demons that Jhin would deal with were not strong enough to fulfill the sect's teachings, so he would die if he died.

, Well, if that were the case, Kieran would not attack him in a short time.

"Grandpa Kieran, why are you here?"

Annie looked at Kieran who walked in, jumped down from her seat, and walked to Kieran's side, while Yasuo had already walked out.

"Let's see how you are doing. Are you sure you can establish contact with the moon?"
