Chapter 558: The Battle of the Peak
Due to the masked warrior's martial prowess, he unknowingly has a large following in the city of Demacia - and tomorrow is his battle with Gavin IV, and many people even put out homemade posters early.
So, after returning to Demacia City, Rhodes has been secretly complaining about when the weapon master Jax has made his debut as an idol......
Later, when Rod inquired about what had happened, his expression became wonderful.
Rhodes knew that Jax was very powerful, but he didn't know the origin of this weapon master - so he subconsciously regarded Jax's challenge to the Demacian warrior as a matter of fame.
At that time, Rod's idea was...... "The same people don't have the same life!" ”
In Rhodes's opinion, in order to get the forbidden magic stone, he also forged his identity and got a special trade quota, and he was also involved in an inexplicable dispute - look at Jax, just because he is a martial artist, he actually has such a high influence.
If the current Jax asks for a batch of forbidden magic stones, the Demacians will definitely offer them with both hands!
Alas—it can't be compared!
This unlucky Demacia, the Fa Ye can become a street rat!
……………………
Is Jax's situation really the way Rhodes thinks?
As a matter of fact...... Not.
Rod, who didn't understand the whole thing, didn't know the weight that Jax was carrying at this moment.
Jax didn't come here to make a name for himself, but to make a name for himself in his native country, Acacia.
As Acacia's last master weapon, Jax had to drag his tired body to find the warrior once again when the seal of the void was about to move.
That's right, strictly speaking, this time Jax came to Demacia for help.
As the Moon and Star Spirits slumbered, the Void seal was loosened again - and with Shurima still unified, the warlords and sand thieves were wreaking havoc on Shurima, and Jax desperately needed support.
The invasion of the Void must be fended off, or they will devour everything!
And to fend off the invasion of the Void, Jax needs help!
Jax once climbed to the top of the Titan Peak, but the followers of the Star Spirits called him a blasphemer and drove him off the Titan Peak.
Jax had lobbied the warlords of Shurima, but the warlords preferred Jax to be their ace thug.
Jax had searched for the legendary city of Bander, which was inhabited by yodelers, but found nothing.
In desperation, Jax had no choice but to head north, crossing the Channel and arriving at Demacia, where he hoped to gain attention and support in a country that respected justice.
And in order to attract the attention of the Demacians, he had to take the challenge of making a name for himself.
Tomorrow is the most crucial battle of this challenge.
It is said that the prince of this country will personally end up.
Jax coughed a few lowly, then pulled out a few hard-boiled eggs from his bag again, gently peeled off the shell, lifted the corner of the mask, and ate it quickly.
Prince......
That's really a nice status.
Jax is thinking about how he will fight tomorrow – and over the years of existence, Jax has fought countless battles.
From the very beginning, when you were a new recruit in Acacia, to the test of your promotion to the Master of Weapons, to the battle against the Celestial Warrior (Ascendant......
Thinking of the battle of Acacia, Jax suddenly fell into a sudden confusion - all this time, Jax avoided that battle.
Kill the Ascendant with your comrades - that is undoubtedly the pinnacle of Jax, and as a pure warrior, there is nothing more glorious than taking out a Celestial Warrior (Ascendant) with your own hands.
But after that fight, Jax escaped for the first time.
When the dusty memories are unraveled, Jax seems to return to that battle.
The casters of the kingdom have chosen the most extreme of ways, awakening the power of the endless void that indulges in the depths of the earth.
The power of the Void erupted, tearing the earth apart and obscuring the sky, leaving even the most powerful Celestial warriors (Ascenders) no match - the Void's vast energy crushed Shurima's Celestial Legion as the casters wished, at the cost of Acacia's destruction.
That's right, destruction.
In that battle, the Acacians defeated Shurima with their untainted power, but at the same time destroyed themselves, and the void energy of the abyss finally came to the ground, and no one could resist this power.
That time, Jax escaped.
Although he had vowed to fight to the end for Acacia's freedom, Jax chose to leave.
Despite paying a heavy price, Jax eventually escaped from Acacia.
Eventually, it was the Ascended Ones of Shurima who sealed the terrible Void - and Jax began to learn to wonder if his so-called rebellion was a foolish farce.
Perhaps under Shurima's rule, Acacia was gradually forgetting her own culture - but as a result of this rebellion, Acacia was completely swallowed up by the Void, and there was nothing left of the scum.
After getting used to the vicissitudes of life, Jax sometimes wonders if the backward Acacia should be a part of Shurima?
It's a pity that this question has no result, because Acacia has completely disappeared.
Oh no, there's still the leftover, and that's Jax himself.
"Sejax Cayu-Renes Kauali Aycardon......"
Jax whispered his name—or the name he once was.
The long name represents the family's honor and past history, and for Jax, it may be the last mark of his homeland, in addition to the scars on his body.
Uh, and maybe a love for hard-boiled eggs......
After the Battle of Acacia, Jax had lost his sense of taste – but he had always insisted on eating hard-boiled eggs as his greatest hobby.
It's not for the taste or anything, but for the sake of remembering, you are still yourself.
Swallowing the last yolk, Jax reached for the lantern beside him.
The cold lantern pole and the dim but always on—Rig's Lamp—are the legacy of the Master of Weapons and the last light of Acacia.
With the lantern on his lap, Jax sat cross-legged in the courtyard, finally motionless.
Everything depends on tomorrow's battle - while the former Acacia is gone, Jax will not tolerate the Void snooping on all of Valoran.
Even the Shurima are willing to incarnate as a Darkspawn to seal the Void Hernia, so what can I, Jax, not sacrifice?
