Chapter 855: From Shadow Fist to Outlier Thorn

Akali thought for a while, but didn't notice the problem in Rod's request, and his previous behavior did cause some trouble, so tell a story as an apology...... Very reasonable!

Unfortunately, Akali wasn't very good at storytelling, so her narration was dry, wasting her slightly hoarse and magnetic voice.

……………………

Akali was once the Shadow Fist of the Equilibrium Sect.

The Shadow Fist is the assassin leader of the Sect of Equilibrium - the Sect of Equilibrium is always trying to maintain equilibrium, so although the power of Shadow is more "evil", it is undeniable that this power is really useful.

Akali's mother, Ume, and her father, Tano, are both important figures in the Sect of Equilibrium—Ume is the previous Shadow Fist, and Tano is her deputy, and in this case, Akali has been tasked with being the next Shadow Finch from the moment she was born.

Since she was a child, she has received the most professional training from the Balance Sect, and in her free time, Tano and her husband will teach Akali the shadow technique and the ninja scythe technique, allowing her to freely shuttle between reality and shadow, and use the ninja scythe to harvest enemies; When the couple went on a mission, Kenan would teach her how to use speed and agility, and he would also teach her shuriken (kunai) skills.

Under this teaching, Akali quickly grew into a young but powerful warrior, and no one in the entire Equilibrium Sect doubted that she would take her mother's place as the new Shadow Fist in the future.

Unfortunately, at the age of fourteen, he fell out with the then Twilight-Eyed Master of Bitterness, and he took advantage of the dissatisfaction of the sect and started a terrible mutiny, in which Akali lost her father.

After escaping, Akali quickly took over her mother's place, while Shin was sublimated from her soul in the midst of her pain - and soon the Equilibrium Sect began to rebuild.

[Seek pure justice by stargazing, execute righteous judgments day by day, and eradicate all imbalances through pruning.] 】

These are the three tenets of the Equilibrium sect.

After the death of his father, Shen gained detachment from unbearable pain, and according to Akali's description, "Shen no longer looks like a human being." ”

The re-established Sect of Equilibrium began its activities under the leadership of Shin, who carefully maintained equilibrium in accordance with the three tenets of the Order—and as the Noxian invasion progressed, Akali became increasingly dissatisfied with Shin.

Shen always emphasized "enough is enough", made achieving balance the first priority, and even once spared Zhai and Ember because "evil is also part of balance".

And when Akali disobeyed Shen's request during her mission, choosing not to take prisoners but to kill the traitors on the spot, Shen would always ask Akali to recite mantras and meditate - but Akali knew that if she left those people alive and brought them back as Shen said, the vast majority of them, except for a few who had committed the most crimes, would end up being imprisoned and rescued by their companions soon after.

This has happened many times.

Akali saw the indecisiveness of those Ionian elders in Shen's body, and although Shen's consideration was more far-reaching than that of the elders who were simply unwilling to kill, Akali still couldn't accept it.

In Akali's view, a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye is the right thing to do, and the true balance is the way to balance that is only "whitewashed and peaceful", where those who do good cannot be protected, and those who do evil will not be punished.

As the conflict deepened, Akali and Shen finally broke up.

In the Battle of Presidium, Akali disobeyed Shen and became directly involved in the war and killing.

When Shin asked Akali to meditate again, Akali openly declared that the Equilibrium sect was incompetent, and that all preaching about mental balance and patience was fruitless.

"It is impossible to turn the wicked to good with his mouth, Kushu thought he could convince Ember, but after he gave up killing Ember, hundreds more were killed by Ember - and for the death of these people, Kushu had to pay half of the responsibility!"

In the face of Akali's accusations against her father, Shen did not get angry, as if he was just talking about an ordinary third person, but once again emphasized to Akali that "all lives are priceless, and we cannot end one life with peace of mind on the grounds of protecting more people's lives." ”

Shen's idea is very Ionian, and he has been radicalized by the Master of Kushu (at least according to Shen's meaning, such a guy as Ember will not be thrown into prison, but will be executed directly), but Akali still can't accept it.

The Ionians are dying in the physical realm, so this is also the realm that Akali wants to protect. She was trained as an Assassin, so she had to do what an Assassin should do. She no longer needed the sect.

And just like that, the Shadow Fist became an outlier thorn.

Without the Equilibrium Sect's vast intelligence network, Akali now had to handle everything on her own - but the shrewd Akali soon discovered the solution to the problem, and that was Akali.

For all the people who betrayed Ionia and the spies of Noxus, it would be difficult to get out of Ionia by other means, the sea is not a safe place, and not everyone of you can fly for days and nights like Rhodes - so, Ryori is the only way for them to leave.

Finding out this, Akali chose to wait and see - she came to the castle and began to investigate everyone who came in and out, and then punished the wicked among them.

The feeling made Akali very happy.

The people of the city refer to Akali as the Punisher, and Akali readily accepts the title, and she has indeed come here to punish those who have done evil.

"That's my story." Akali finally ended her dry remarks, "So, spellcaster—can you tell me now, what are you doing here?" ”

"Me?" Rod blinked, "Actually, I'm here to ask for the help of the Balance Sect, to be exact, Shen - but from what you've just described, it seems like I'm having a hard time succeeding. ”

"Oh?" Akali raised her eyebrows in interest, "What, you also think Shen is an unreliable bastard?" ”

"It's hard to say whether it's reliable or not." Rhodes sighed and shook his head, "But now I can confirm that it seems difficult for me to get him to do what I say - not even in the way of a deal, according to you, he only cares about what he thinks is balance, and I don't have the confidence to convince a strong-willed guy." ”
