Douluo: Rainbow Cat, Blue Cat, Seven Swords and Dragon Rider

Chapter 1078 Yorick, the Shepherd of Souls
With Blue Rainbow shattering the Blade of the Ruined King and evolving the souls of Ysuld and Folgyal, the curse of the Ruined King finally disappeared.

However, the black mist on the Shadow Isles did not disappear; it simply calmed down.

After all, these black mists have existed for so many years, and it is not an easy task to make them disappear completely and bring Fuguang Island back to normal.

Morgana, who was outside the Shadow Isles, breathed a sigh of relief. She was genuinely afraid that the black mist on the Shadow Isles would get out of control and cause unimaginable destruction to the entire Runeterra.

"Sister, now that you're here, why hide yourself?"

Morgana suddenly spoke up, and as she did, Kyle finally appeared.

Kayle simply stood beside Morgana, saying nothing, silently watching the Shadow Isles.

Morgana didn't say anything more, and the two of them stood in the air like two statues.

Inside the Shadow Isles, Kai'Sa pulled Thresh over. His lantern had been crushed by Kai'Sa, and his soul chains had been severed, leaving his soul form much more ethereal.

Moreover, he no longer had the grotesque, skeletal appearance he had before, but instead looked like he did when he was human.

"My idol, what should we do with this guy?"

"He actually dared to ambush the male god. It's too easy for him to just purify him. I think it would be better to lock him up and burn him with holy flames."

Upon hearing He Xi's words, Thresh clearly showed fear. This guy liked to torture others, but he didn't like to be tortured.

When someone uses the same methods against you, he will feel fear as well.

Blue Rainbow naturally noticed Thresh's fear. Many things had happened on the Shadow Isles, and this old sixth brother had been secretly orchestrating them.

If they hadn't intervened, this sixth brother might have succeeded and transformed into the true big boss of the Shadow Isles.

“Let’s do as He Xi says. This guy doesn’t deserve any sympathy. Doesn’t he like to torture people? Let him experience being tortured too.”

"Hehe, you're the best, my idol! Let me have it!"

"No! No! Let me go! Let me go!"

"It's too late to beg for mercy now!"

He Xi also used the power of faith and the power of light to construct a lantern, then threw Thresh's soul into it, and lit a holy flame inside the lantern.

As Thresh's soul burned under the holy flames, it let out a miserable cry.

The screams sent chills down Ge Xiaolun's spine.

He Xi didn't want to keep listening to the screams, so she simply blocked them out.

After dealing with Thresh, we're back to the original problem.

How to deal with the black fog that permeates the entire Shadow Isles?

Although the source of the Curse of Ruin has been resolved and there will be no new black mist, the black mist that lingers on the Shadow Isles will not dissipate on its own.

Moreover, even if someone wanted to dispel the black fog on the island, there would definitely be someone to stop them.

For example, Karthus would absolutely not want to see the Black Mist of the Shadow Isles dispelled.

Then there's Mordekaiser. He might still be in the Underworld, but he certainly wouldn't want to see the Shadow Isles, the tentacle connecting the realm of the dead and reality, severed.

At that moment, Gwen suddenly spoke up, "Perhaps we can go to Yorick; he might be able to help us."

"Yorick, who is he? Is he also an undead?" "He is a monk. He is not an undead. He has been trying to help the undead on the Shadow Isles pass on, although it hasn't been very effective."

"The Gravedigger? He should be called the Shepherd of Souls now. Let's go see him. He is indeed a rather unique figure on the Shadow Isles."

When Lan Hong and her group found Yorick, Yorick was already waiting for them.

"I knew you'd come looking for me. Please have a seat, if you don't mind,"

There weren't any decent benches around, only a few symbolic stones, but Lan Hong and the others didn't mind and sat down directly.

"Thank you. I can feel that the source of the curse has disappeared."

"Yoric, do you have a way to get rid of the black fog? I want the black fog on the island to disappear completely."

Yorick always shook his head.

"I have no way, but the sacred tree that once guarded the Shadow Isles might have a way."

"You mean Maokai? We could go ask him."

Lan Hong stroked Gwen's long hair, indicating that she didn't need to rush. The black mist on the Shadow Isles had existed for so many years, there was no need to hurry.

"Yorick, could you tell me your story?"

"My own story? I've almost forgotten it, but since it's rare for outsiders to want to hear my story, I'll tell it then."

Yorick paused to think for a while before speaking: "I am the last survivor of the Twilight Brotherhood. I was born with the ability to communicate with the dead, which is why I am seen as an outcast by others."

Later, I was accepted by the monks on the island and began to learn how to perform rituals to help the souls of the dead find peace. The way to help the souls find peace is to use the water from the holy spring.

Then Foygo arrived, triggering a catastrophe on the entire island. Black mist instantly spread, and everyone was turned into the dead.

I was the lucky one, because of the power of the Holy Spring, I was not turned into an undead, but I was trapped on the island forever.

After that, I began to try to fight against the black fog on the island, even though it seemed futile to others.

My actions in fighting the Black Mist may seem despicable to others, since I am using my ability to manipulate corpses to fight against the Black Mist, attempting to reverse the Curse of Ruin and liberate my homeland.

Despite the whispers of the corrupted spirits constantly tempting me to fall, I steadfastly held fast to my beliefs, becoming one of the few beings on the Shadow Isles not completely corrupted.

"No, you did nothing wrong. You are a respectable person for not giving up your beliefs in such a desperate situation."

Caesar gave Yorick his approval, and Yorick seemed very pleased.

"Thank you for your recognition. It makes me feel that what I'm doing is even more meaningful."

"You just mentioned that the power of the Holy Spring protected you, preventing you from becoming an undead under the corruption of the black mist. Is the Holy Spring you mentioned the same as the Water of Life?"

He Xi asked the question, and Yorick thought for a moment before giving an affirmative answer.

"The holy spring is indeed the water of life, it's just described differently."

"Since the Water of Life truly has the ability to combat the Black Mist, does that mean that as long as we activate the Everlasting Well that produces the Water of Life, we can drive away the Black Mist?"

Upon hearing He Xi's suggestion, Yorick shook his head.

"The area has been completely polluted. Even the unpolluted life water is becoming less and less effective. It is absolutely impossible to use the life water to fight against the black mist."
