Runeterra: I really know a little bit about everything

Chapter 51 Spear and shield, caution and calamity!
Chapter 51 Spear and shield, caution and calamity!

Behind the soul blade, Jie was completely enveloped in rich purple light.

Ancient and mysterious runes were flying around him, and a figure passed through the curtain between the spiritual realm and the material realm and came to Zed!
This figure wears navy blue armor and carries a steel knife behind his back. The Zhaori emblem, which symbolizes the identity of the Twilight Eye of the Kinkou Sect, is engraved on the chest of the armor.

His eyes swept over Zed, who was tightly bound by the shadow, and his father, who was supposed to be dead, but now turned himself into a shadow monster.

After a long silence, a sigh filled with thousands of emotions came from his mouth.

Immediately afterwards, he picked up the soul blade suspended in front of him and stood in front of Zed!
Jie, who was originally preparing to escape by abandoning one of his arms, fell into a daze when he saw the sudden scene in front of him.

"Careful"

However, before Zed could say anything, the remaining shadow magic in Ku Shuo's body had expanded to its limit. He was like a balloon filled with the aura of destruction, exploding instantly!
"boom!"

The endless black shadows completely swallowed up the light in the hall, and the magic power like a black ribbon burst out from the position where Kushuo was, impacting everything around him crazily.

Zed stood there in a daze, looking at the purple shield surrounding his body and the figure in front of him that blocked all explosion damage for him.

The aftermath of the explosion lasted for a long time before it gradually subsided. The purple shield covering Zed's body was wiped away bit by bit by the explosion, but he himself did not suffer any damage.

When the entire hall gradually returned to calm, Shen put the soul blade in his hand back into the scabbard behind him.

At this time, Shen's eyes were as calm as water, and he was staring quietly in front of him, where he had just said - the place where his most respected father passed away.

Was his father killed by Zed?
Should I turn my sword against Jie?

It seems that the moment he decided to help Zed stop his father from self-destructing, the mentality of this immature leader who had just taken over as the Eye of Twilight also underwent an earth-shaking transformation.

In the silent hall, Jie's voice came from behind Shen.

"Careful"

Shen turned around and looked at Jie behind him: "Jie, I want to know the truth of the matter, I want to know everything!"

Zed looked at Shen in front of him and let out a long sigh. After experiencing so many things, Zed knew that Shen was qualified to know everything that had happened in the past.

At this moment, the two people who once loved each other stood looking at each other, and Jie also softly recounted the past.

Once, after witnessing the massacre of the people of Ionia by Noxus, but the Kinkou still remained indifferent, Zed decided to defect from the Kinkou.

Later, when Zed decided to return to the Kinkou Sect to steal the Tears of Shadow, Ku Shuo stood in front of Zed.

Leaving everyone behind, Ku Shuo and Jie arrived at the back of the Kinkou Sect.

It was also here that Ku Shuo told Zed, who was already preparing to fight his master, about his inner plan.

It turned out that after witnessing the disciples of the Kinkou Sect leaving one after another, and his most outstanding children also choosing to part ways with him, Ku Shuo also thought a lot.

In order that Ionia would no longer be invaded by Noxus, he made a decision that went against the teachings of the Kinkou:

Return to Shadowstream with Zed and plan everything in secret to help Ionia fight Noxus!

However, Ku Shuo is the current Eye of Twilight after all. If he really does this, the already turbulent interior of the Kinkou Sect will undoubtedly fall into greater turmoil.

But Kushuo finally figured out a way to deal with all this perfectly.

He can leave the Kinkou Sect without causing unrest in the sect, and he can also guard Ionia in secret.However, this method requires Zie to bear endless infamy.

That was how he died at the hands of Zed!

Only in this way can he disappear from people's sight naturally, and the Kinkou Sect will not be affected at all because Shen succeeds as the next Eye of Twilight.

Ku said he had asked Jed if he would do this.

The answer given by Jie was calm and firm: "I don't care whether you are famous or not!"

In this way, a fake death operation that was hidden from everyone quietly began.

From that day on, Ku Shuo disappeared from people's sight, and he "died" at the hands of the Kinkou traitor Zed.

After returning to Shadow Stream, Zed handed over the control of Shadow Stream to Ku Shuo, and he himself began to wander around Ionia, secretly protecting this wind and rain land.

Kushuo did not disappoint Zed. After he took on the heavy responsibility of Shadow Stream, he quietly developed the power of Shadow Stream and secretly formed an organization called the Brotherhood of Navoli in Navoli Province.

The Shadow Stream and the Navori Brotherhood together contributed immensely to Ionia's defeat of Noxus.

However, just after Noxus was defeated, everything began to develop in a direction that Zed had not expected.

After being exposed to Tears of Shadow for a long time, Kusuo's mind began to be gradually distorted, and he began to covet the pleasure of having power in his hands.

It was also from that time that he released the 'Golden Demon' from prison and asked him to stir up panic in various parts of Ionia, in order to strengthen people's dependence on Shadow Stream and the Brotherhood of Navori.

When the time was fully ripe, he planned to intercept and kill Zed!

At this point, Zed's story is coming to an end.

In the main hall, Jie stood in front of Shen, the sharp blades on his arms slowly retracted, and a sense of relief filled his whole body.

"Shen, let's do it. Now I have nothing to worry about!"

After hearing what Zed said, Shen slowly shook his head.

"Ionia needs today's Shadow Stream, and it even needs you, the master of Shadow Stream!"

Jie turned his eyes outside the hall and suddenly smiled softly: "The Lord of Shadow Stream already has a suitable successor!"

"not enough!"

Shen raised his head and stared into Jie's eyes: "At least, your disciples can't hunt down the Golden Demon with me like you! Without you to help me, I feel a little difficult."

"!!!"

The moment Zed's words fell, there were some violent fluctuations in Zed's eyes.

Neither of them spoke anymore, but just stared at each other quietly, just like they did when Shen was a child when he first encountered the robbery.

After a long time, Shen's arm was bent and raised to his chest, and he stretched out his right hand towards Jie.

Zed looked at Shen's actions in front of him. After hesitating for a few breaths, he finally raised his hand and held it tightly with Zed.
