The lone wolf of Freyrdrand

Devil

A chill surged into Lux’s heart. She could feel the magical energy rippling from the little boy’s body. It was all pure darkness. The power of nightmare was being conceived in him, growing quietly, just waiting to break through the ground.

The light in Lux’s body was frantically telling her to run away, away from this little boy. She felt like a weak star in the endless night, unable to dispel all the darkness at all, if she didn’t escape, she would only be swallowed by it.

The power in the little boy polluted Lux’s magic, and she felt even weaker. The arms around Lothar’s neck were hanging limply like weeping willows. Lux clings to Lothar’s body tightly, which will make her feel more at ease.

Lothar also felt extremely uncomfortable. The ominous aura on the little boy made his hairs stand on end, and his whole body seemed to be filled with lead, making it difficult to continue to approach him.

“Who are you?” Lacus asked.

“Do you know a woman named Evelyn?” Lothar added.

The smile on Luka’s face was even wider, and the grin became wider and wider, even causing the corners of his mouth to split, and blood flowed down his chin: “Evelyn, she told you her name, I haven’t heard this name for a long time , is she okay?”

Lothar and Lacus were startled—this monster recognized Evelyn.

Luka took a deep breath, and smiled even more exaggeratedly. The corners of his mouth even reached the ears: “It’s so interesting, you all have Evelyn’s mark on your body, and you are her predetermined prey.”

“What’s the matter with marking that?” Lothar asked.

Luka didn’t answer Lothar’s words: “Both of you are Evelyn’s fancy prey. It seems that she has a good appetite and will stock up on food. No wonder she has been so active recently. I can feel countless things about her while lying here. A nightmare. But she is really unlucky, you will be enjoyed by me first.”

Lothar frowned: “What does this demon mean? Evelyn is very active and we were herded.”

“Luka, wake up!” Lux tried to wake up the little boy’s sanity and let him get rid of the control of the monster in his body. “This is not you!”

“If it’s not me, then who do you think I am?”

“The demon in the grave!” Lux said, “You are the legendary demon who was killed and sealed by Fossian.”

“I’m not dead.” Luka’s smile was exaggerated to the point of distortion, and his entire face was deformed. “I’m just sleeping, healing, recovering, and waiting for the chance to recover.”

“Your chance is Luca.” Lacus said with anger in her tone, “You found a child with magical talent and possessed him! The child is innocent!”

Luca said with a smile: “This child is afraid. He is afraid that his magical talent will be discovered, and he will be expelled or killed by this country called Demacia. He is having nightmares and crying constantly every night. Tears tasted like sweet springs, waking me from my slumber. I put him to sleep, to taste all of him, and though his magic was weak, his fears were full, and every nightmare was fresh, for That’s enough hospitality for me, who is very hungry.”

Lothar felt Lux trembling on her back, both out of anger and fear.

“What about you, little girl?” Luka threw the small stone with one hand, and looked directly at Lacus with all black eyes, “Compared with this child, the gap between your magic is like a vigorous furnace and an insignificant embers. So powerful What will happen to you if your magical talent is exposed in Demacia?”

Lothar heard “hissing” whispers from the surrounding shadows, as if something was hiding in the dark, surrounding them and cutting off their retreat.

“Nightmare monster?” Lothar felt the weight of a small knife hidden in his pocket. Although it might be just a meaningless struggle, he also needed to fight at critical moments.

Lux seemed to be dragged into the quagmire by Luca’s words, and her mind kept flashing the fate of her magic being exposed to the world-she would definitely be kicked out of Demacia, even if she was the daughter of the Crownguard family .

Forbidden magic is the iron law of Demacia, and no one can violate it.

“Luka, please.” Lacus said with difficulty. The nightmare had been implanted in her mind, and she had to do her best not to fall into it. “You must resist him and not be used by him.”

“Luka can’t hear you.” The little boy smiled cruelly, holding a small stone in his hand and scratching at Lacus’ forehead, “It seems that you don’t have enough nightmares in your head, I should use a stone Smash your head and dig up more nightmares.”

A new nightmare flashed in Lux’s mind—the nightmare of Rorschach leaving Demacia and never returning.

The little boy shifted his gaze to Lothar: “It’s interesting that you love him, no wonder Evelyn fell in love with you.”

“Stop talking…” Lacus grabbed Lothar’s shoulders tightly. Fear, shame and sadness almost completely overwhelmed her. Only the light in her body was still desperately protecting her.

“Ass, don’t be scared by him!” Lothar noticed that Lacus on his back was already limp as mud at this time, and the breathing next to his ear was also extremely weak. “It’s just some nightmares! It’s all fake!”

“The dream is indeed fake.” Luka tasted Lacus’ fear, seemingly intoxicated, “but the fear in her heart is real, she is afraid of being discovered as a mage’s secret, and she is afraid that you will leave her side, really Cute, isn’t it?”

Lothar glared at Luca: “I know what you are called in the Freljord for a guy who only plays with people’s hearts?”so? Rotten heart!”

Luka laughed at Lothar: “I can do more than play tricks on people’s hearts, little guy. But let me taste your nightmare first.”

Luka pointed the pebble at the [resource group]: 9? 8; 0; 2? . 0′. 5′, 8’5′; 6 Lothar’s forehead.

“Ass! Wake up!” Lothar hurriedly shouted, if he also sank into the nightmare, all his efforts would be in vain.

In desperation, Lothar had only one arm at his disposal, so he grabbed Lacus’s butt with his hands.

“Ah!” The strong tactile sensation coming from the private part made Lacus straighten up abruptly, she was freed from the shackles of the nightmare in an instant, and her face was as red as the rising sun.

“Hmm.” Luka looked a little surprised, as if he didn’t expect Lacus to escape the nightmare.

“I’ll talk about you hitting me all over the head later!” Lothar rushed towards Luca with Lacus on his back, “It’s up to you!”

Lux also reacted immediately, temporarily suppressed the shame and anger in her heart, and used magic to form a spherical light curtain to protect them.

“Stupid resistance.” Luka snorted coldly, and countless nightmare monsters lurking in the shadows all rushed towards them.

I don’t know if it’s because they’re so close to the source, these nightmare monsters didn’t dissipate completely after hitting the light curtain, they were just thrown out, and then they hit the light curtain one after another, and the color of the light curtain became more and more intense. dimmer.

Lux mobilized all the magic power in her body to continuously fill the light curtain. If the light curtain was broken, they would be torn to pieces in an instant.

There are all kinds of demon legends spread all over the world in Valoran, such as the seductive woman, the crazy murderer clown, the source of nightmares hiding in the shadows, the river master who lures people into traps, and the demons who brought people together. Crows and Scarecrows of Fear and more.

It is difficult to judge the authenticity of these folklore, because some of the rumors are so outrageous that people doubt whether they are fabricated or made by some mages. But in general, most of these folklore are similar and vague, and no scholar is currently interested in traveling through Runeterra to organize them into a book.
