Chapter 34 Breaking News

Although Lunessia has long forgotten many past events, some important past events are still deeply engraved in her memory.

Especially the period from the Void War to before the Darkin War was sealed, it feels like yesterday when I think back on it.

Zolani was once a beloved and gifted healer.

She was born in Zoran, a coastal town in the southeastern part of Shurima.

As a town not far from the border of ancient Icathia, when the Icathians who were foolish enough to think they could control forces that did not belong to this world released the void, Zoran was the first to bear the brunt and became the front line of the void war.

Because of Zolani's outstanding achievements in the early stages of the Void War, the Sun Priests of the Shurima Empire determined that she was qualified to ascend.

Until the end of the Void War, almost every god warrior who survived the war had been saved by Zolani's healing magic.

However, after experiencing the Void War, the temperament of the Ascended Ones changed drastically, including Zolani, who was also affected to a greater or lesser extent.

Archmaester Nasus had studied with Zolani and other Ascendants who survived and mastered healing magic to study the reasons for the drastic change in the minds of their compatriots.

At first, they concluded that the Ascended Ones were corrupted by the Void.

Unfortunately, a hundred years had passed by the time Nasus realized this.

Of course, Josh knew the power of the World Rune. The power generated by a fragment could sink a large piece of coastal land. This was something that even nuclear weapons could not do.

When faced with the void, brothers and sisters around them fell one after another and were swallowed up by the void. Just facing the one-eye under the abyss, their minds would collapse and they would fall into madness.

It wasn't until Nasus spent hundreds of years studying in seclusion that he realized that the Ascended Ones were purely ideological changes.

But the more Lunessia said this, the more curious Josh became: "Then let me guess... Could you have been watching the battle on the sidelines and been sealed away?"

"No, what I want to say is, since you know that Tarosh and Zolani fought on the Eternal Sea and were sealed by the Twilight Stars and War Stars, you should have been nearby at that time, right?"

Some world rune fragments of feelings were scattered from Hylia?

[Why are you silent? Do you have any ideas about the world runes? I advise you to give up this idea.] Lunessia warned, [You are only a mortal, you cannot resist the erosion of the world runes. ]

The hungry Josh had dinner, and Tyrus asked him to go back to the room to rest for a while.

…

Josh pondered for a moment, "Also, why are you in such a hurry?"

Suddenly, Josh thought of what Lunessia had said before, and continued to question: "Oh! I almost forgot, you said before that Hylia is located in danger, didn't you mean Tarosh?"

"Trust has to be earned. It's hard for me to trust you after what you've done before... Well, our joint fight can add some points, but since you and Tarosh are in a hostile relationship, it's actually your own.

Just keep it safe."

It didn't take long for the conflicts between the Ascended Ones to expand and quickly turn into hostility, tit-for-tat, and attacks on each other.

Maisha teleported Talosh's Darkin Halberd to Blessing Island and buried it deep underground, while Pantheon disappeared with the Darkin Chain Scythe.

Lunessia was silent, as if she confirmed what Josh said.

"It's just a group of undead. Magic can easily eliminate it. How can it be a threat?" Josh changed the subject, "Are you lying to me again?"

Josh was shocked. He had never understood this statement before traveling through time.

But with the Shurima Empire and the Sun Disc as spiritual pillars of faith, they were able to suppress the trauma of their souls...until Shurima's subsequent demise.

But what Zolani is best at is survival. She has been defeated many times, and even faced Aatrox head-on and was seriously injured by his god-killing blade, but she still survived.

This is not necessarily the case.

Zolani, who was mentally damaged but still insisted on being kind, could not bear the suffering of the people in the world and discovered an ancient forbidden witchcraft that can use blood to control others - blood magic.

From being reshaped by the sun disk to becoming an immortal god, he was invincible in the war of rapid expansion of the Shurima Empire, killing all directions and being unrivaled.

【How is it possible? I am referring to the water of life!】

"Origin? You mean the source of the water of life?" Josh was stunned. "The ability to produce this kind of healing water is related to arcane magic. Could it be a world rune?"

【Shut up!!】

This time, Josh was speechless.

After a moment, she spoke: [The water of life is not as simple as you think. It does not pose a threat in itself. What really poses a threat is its origin. ]

The Ascended Ner'zuk, who defected during the Void War, assassinated the hero Horok who discovered the weakness of the Void and pushed for the end of the Void War, setting off the beginning of the Darkin War.

At this time, some other Ascended people also discovered and mastered blood magic, and were immune to Zolani's control to a certain extent. Especially the darkspawn who still followed Aatrox began to hunt Zolani.

…

[I am just guessing that since Tarosh has appeared in Hylia, he must have been brought here by the Twilight Star Spirit.]

He shook his head, "I have no idea about the world runes, but I am still very curious about your story...for example, how on earth you were sealed."

…

Being pressed harder and harder by Josh, Lunishia's anger suddenly jumped up, [If you believe it, believe it, if you don't believe it, forget it! You have never trusted me anyway!]

The figure of Ritz appeared in Josh's mind.

It's a pity that she is not a combat-type ascendant, and her combat power is limited after all.

Realizing that her abilities were insufficient, Zolani began to hide and recuperate her strength.

At the end of the Darkin War, most of the Darkin were dead or sealed. Zolani was discovered by Talosh in her hiding place. The two fought in the boundless sea of ​​eternity.

The protoss Pan Sen teamed up to sneak attack the seal.

Lunessia:【……】

Because they did not receive timely psychological treatment, the temperament of many ascended people has already been determined, and it is too late to intervene.

Josh playfully made a rising nasal sound.

Because the Margusa side is relatively busy and there are many things that need to be arranged, it is estimated that it will take some time to get from the Shuoguang Tower to the scholar's residence.

The change from invincibility to insignificance, from self-confidence to despair, has caused many ascendants to suffer from a mental illness - post-traumatic stress reaction.

No wonder the Blessed Isles became the Shadow Isles, and the Rune Wars in Valoran soon began.

【Who is in a hurry?!】

[…] Lunessia fell silent.

[What else? Of course it was sneak attacked by the damn Twilight Star Spirits! 】

[This...] Lunessia hesitated and forcibly changed the subject: [Let’s talk about the world runes.]

Josh's right arm suddenly felt a tingling sensation, "Am I right?"

[I finally understand why we didn’t find the World Rune back then. It turned out that you Hylians got there first? How could we resist the temptation of the World Rune...]

From this, Zolani began to embark on an extreme path, intending to use blood magic to control all compatriots who had shared life and death, and even all living creatures in the world, in order to end all disputes in the world and achieve permanent peace.

However, Josh keenly caught the loopholes in Lunishia’s words:

No one disturbed him, giving Josh enough time to learn about the Ascended One's past from Runesia.

"So...since you know that the Twilight Stars brought the Darkin Halberd to Blessed Light Island, why did you say before that you need to confirm Talosh's aura? Shouldn't you have known that he was here?"

But under the light of the sun's disk, the corruption of the void in the bodies of those who ascended should have nowhere to hide, but they did not find any traces of the void remaining on their compatriots.

"Holy shit, the water of life actually comes from the world runes?!"

Immediately afterwards, Lunessia continued to drop a bombshell: [Although I am not sure, since mentioning the world runes, Hylia should have more than one... I can feel a trace of different arcane spells overflowing.

fluctuation.】

[That’s why I ‘admire’ you Hylians.] Runesia’s tone of voice was ups and downs, but it didn’t sound sinister.

Darkin trivia:

The designer issued an article saying that the Dark Ones did not suffer from void corruption, neither physically nor mentally. They just suffered from PTSD, the sequelae of war.
