Chapter 341 All Fear Comes From Insufficient Firepower
Earth, this word buried deep in Li Lin's heart, has been locked up.
Even Caitlin, whom he loves most, has never revealed the slightest bit of fact that he is a "traveler".
Taken together, it is estimated that only Zoe understands that he is not a native of Runeterra.
After all, as a Twilight Star, she had been to Earth and witnessed the planet being swallowed up by nothingness.
With the ability of the twilight star spirit to travel through space, combined with Zoe's childlike character, she believed that it was natural for Li Lin, who had entrusted the world's blessings, to be able to travel through the world, and she didn't even ask too much about related matters.
But this does not conflict with his fear of others knowing his identity.
The voice of "Andel" came from all directions. In order to prevent this voice mixed with dark magic from affecting his spirit, Li Lin immediately closed the armor and isolated all sounds from the outside world.
However, Fiddlesticks' strange and unclear roar can directly affect the human soul, and this physical level of sound shielding has little impact.
"Zhi Nao, mobilize a mechanical engineer equipped with the Hex teleportation function module to bring me the Banshee Veil from the Hex treasure chest in my room!"
The Banshee Veil is an epic-quality magic item that Li Lin purchased in the [Essence Store] when he fought against the "nightmare" demon Nocturne.
This item can periodically generate a cumulative magic barrier every 15 seconds. The upper limit of the barrier's health can exceed the 100,000 mark, and it can also resist most magic from the spiritual level.
However, due to its particularity, as the magic barrier accumulates, it will cause chaos in the magic power of the surrounding environment.
Since dealing with Nocturne, Li Lin pushed it to the bottom of the box and had no chance to use it again.
After learning that he was facing Fiddlesticks, he had considered using it after informing Jarvan IV.
It's just that Fiddlesticks' attack was too sudden, disrupting his plan.
After giving the order, Li Lin called up the energy index detection panel and suddenly turned his head to look at the direction of the abnormal energy fluctuations.
It was a scarecrow wearing Andel's tattered clothes and looking extremely shabby.
This scarecrow has a completely crooked and twisted linen face, grinning almost to the sides of the eyes. It takes up more than half of the entire face and has a bloody mouth with fangs filled with rust.
Its long and thin wooden legs supported its spread-out body. A pair of wood-cut arms were spread out straight. On its right hand hung a rusty lantern that gave off a dim yellow light, without a trace of warmth. Endless chill.
Wu Hao Cao Man - This is one of Fiddlesticks' abilities, and it is the clone of the Cao Jian Man that it transformed into.
Li Lin forcibly suppressed his panic when he heard "Earth". Without a moment's hesitation, he immediately flew into the air and activated the infinite armor to unfold the armor on his palms, arms, shoulders and back.
For a moment, a burst of blue light illuminated the entire night sky, and countless large and small matter cracking cannons instantly covered an area of tens of meters around where Fiddlesticks' Man in the Grass was.
"Zhinao, quickly bring me the first formation and the war lords!"
The loud noise alerted the Demacia army not far from here.
Li Lin gave instructions to Zhinao and immediately sent out a nano-drone to urge Jarvan IV and others to leave and not come to check on the situation.
He was certain that Fiddlesticks was angry because of his actions just now, because the energy index on the system data panel of the armor had exceeded the normal critical value.
There was even an inexplicable anger burning in his own heart, which was due to the influence of the devil.
There is a high probability that it will not attack the Demacian soldiers, but will fight to the death with itself.
However, for the sake of conservatism, Li Lin also asked Zhinao to send a space machine storm formation to Jarvan IV and others.
All fear comes from lack of firepower.
Because he knew Fiddlesticks relatively well and was protected by his Source Plan and Infinite Armor, Li Lin really didn't feel much fear.
He didn't believe that the head of the ten ancient demons, who was incarnated by the fear of all living beings, could absorb machines without "vitality" and devour their souls?
Li Lin looked around vigilantly, always paying attention to the abnormal energy data on the panel.
Suddenly, a piercing alarm sounded inside the armor, and the radar detected a majestic energy body approaching his position at great speed.
"I blanch it, and the scarecrow can still fly?!"
Li Lin was shocked, and immediately ejected the plasma lightsabers in both arms, locked onto the dark flames approaching him, and fired dozens of material disintegrating cannons from his back.
When the thunderous energy explosion and the dazzling light dissipated, the dark flame only paused for a moment and rushed in at a faster speed.
Li Lin narrowed his eyes and said, "Is everything okay..."
Just as he was about to activate the force field shield to confront the incoming wave, a familiar female voice with a sullen voice reached directly into his soul and interrupted his movements: "You called me here just to attack me?"
The next second, Morgana, still in familiar attire, appeared on the ground below him.
"Morgana?"
Li Lin was stunned for a moment, then quickly landed in front of her and asked Zhinao: "Zhinao, what's going on?"
[I'm sorry, Master, I couldn't identify Ms. Morgana's energy and mistook it for a fear demon. This was my dereliction of duty. 】
After saying this, he recalled the last time he met Morgana, how she appeared unnoticed and bypassed the brain detection.
"Forget it, this is not your problem." He shook his head, then unfolded his mask and looked at Morgana, who looked unhappy. "I'm sorry, because the situation was too urgent, I couldn't recognize you."
The attack just now did not cause any harm to Morgana, and she did not take it to heart.
"I summon you this time..."
"I know your purpose. There is an unspeakable evil breath nearby, even stronger than me..."
Morgana's voice was low and her face was solemn, "Is this the breath of the devil?! Is it the original devil?"
"Is it actually more powerful than you?"
Although Li Lin had anticipated this, his own speculation was completely different from the feeling he got from hearing the facts from the person involved.
"It represents fear. It is the first to be born among the ten original demons, and it is also the most powerful existence."
Morgana's eyes burning with purple-black flames glanced at him, her brows frowning slightly.
“Since I inherited half of my mother’s power, I also inherited some fragmented memories and knowledge of the Justice Star Spirits.
"There are ten original demons in total. They have been causing harm to the world since the ancient times, when mankind just originated.
"In order to prevent the destruction of mankind due to them, the Titans took action and sealed these ten powerful demons in various corners of Runeterra.
"Logically speaking, this demon should not be walking in the world."
Morgana has been the patron saint of Demacia since its founding.
After she and Kyle parted ways, she kept wandering around the borders of Demacia, occasionally helping humans who came looking for help.
But no matter what, she has been away from the world for hundreds of years.
Therefore, she didn't know much about Demacia's legend about Fiddlesticks.
"Perhaps someone summoned it and released its seal."
Li Lin recalled the story told at the beginning of the Scarecrow story, which is also the legend of this world:
A young and foolish mage summoned it into the world from outside the physical realm, but had no way of controlling it.
It is older than any recorded history, darker than a starless night, and something the world has tried so hard to forget...
Perhaps, this story and legend are not fiction, but actually happened.
"Maybe... now is not the time to talk about that."
Morgana raised her right hand at will, and the astral magic circulated, attaching a purple-black magic barrier to the outer body of Li Lin's armor, but it did not affect his sight.
"My magic can protect you from that demon's influence..."
Just as she was explaining her magic to Li Lin, her perception suddenly had countless apertures that could be used for teleportation.
Especially the largest apertures in the distance actually contain the huge power of the "sun".
Morgana looked at the sky and the ground not far away in shock, "What is this?"
She also put a shield of darkness on herself, raised her hands in front of her, with cold black flames burning in her palms, and entered a fighting stance.
Li Lin couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, "Don't be nervous, this is my mechanical army, just like the suit of armor I wear, except it doesn't need anyone to control it."
As battlefield mechas and air combat machines appeared one after another from the arcane teleportation array, Morgana's expression could no longer be simply described as stunned.
Li Lin took the cross-shaped pendant from the mechanical engineer who rushed to his side, unfolded the armor and hung it around his neck.
Perhaps, after defeating Fiddlesticks and obtaining the orange essence, I can enchant this piece of equipment to my armor...
Just as he was thinking briefly, a translucent bright silver barrier appeared on the inside of Morgana's Dark Shield, and solidified as time passed.
Morgana stared at Li Lin silently for a while, then seemed to sense something, and suddenly looked sideways to the side of the forest, "Be careful! It's there!"
At the same time, countless crows fluttered their wings and flew out of the forest, hovering in the dark night sky without moonlight or stars.
"Don't leave me...Open the door quickly! Open the door quickly!"
"It's right outside!"
"We can't get out, we can't escape..."
"Damn, this thing should be just a story, it can't be true!"
"Don't open your eyes, don't make a sound...Mom will protect you, will protect you..."
"Giggle!"
"Moo..."
"Hum hum……"
"——Xu!"
For a time, countless lifelike voices sounded in the dark forest in unison.
Not only were the villagers whispering frightened conversations, but there were also the frightened cries of various domestic animals.
A drop of crystal tears fell from the corner of Morgana's eyes, "I heard the cries of countless lost souls... I must save them!"
Before she finished speaking, her figure disappeared from the spot and turned into a ball of dark energy and rushed towards the forest without even communicating with Li Lin.
"Hey! Wait!"
You said you couldn't beat Fiddlesticks, so why did you rush in so recklessly?
You should wait until I cleanse the ground with firepower first!
Li Lin felt helpless to complain about Morgana's behavior.
If she goes in like this, she can't order the mechanical troops to cover it with artillery fire.
"Battlefield Mecha Skarner followed me into the forest to kill all the evil things with the aura of black magic. Air combat mech Storm provided fire cover, and Battlefield Mecha Kog'Maw was on standby in the distance to carry out precise artillery strikes at any time. support……
"Also, quickly assemble the Battlefield Lord for me!"
Li Lin quickly gave instructions to Zhinao and rushed into the forest following Morgana's footsteps.
