lol: Bind Syndra at the start

Noxus is using Ionian rules against the Ionians.

Just like now... they haven't attacked yet, but the effects created by those small actions have already made the Order of the Balance a little overwhelmed.

Of course, this alone is not enough.

Another key reason why Ryan suspected Noxus was Azakana!

In most cases, this young demon will only act according to its nature.

Their instincts will only lead them to the place where the flower of death blooms, rather than to a place like the "food-poor" place inside the Order of the Balance.

But what if there is guidance?

Ryan remembered that the commander-in-chief was a master at bird-playing, and his bird was a big demon.

Under the guidance of a great demon, the young azakana were like chess pieces, cooperating with Swain's arrangements, appearing in the right place at the right time...

Then, at some point, the balance suddenly collapsed!

Ryan had never felt so smart.

Before in Barue, I did discover the conspiracy of the Protoss, but at that time I had the guidance of Vastaya Xiarui, and I only needed to follow their words to find the answer.

But this time it’s different!

I broke through the fog entirely by relying on my own brain power!

Ryan looked at Hela, who was confused by what he had just said.

Before, he would have tried to comfort her and come up with some plausible answers and reasons.

But now he just wanted to find someone who could "talk" as soon as possible. After all, this was related to the safety of the entire Balance Sect!

"Call Kenan, I think I've made an important discovery."

Hela raised her head. Instead of asking Ryan what his major discovery was, she simply refused, "They can still hold on for several days."

Ryan knew what Hela was thinking. "But the people from other temples might not be able to hold out that long."

“…” Hela was silent for a moment, then revealed a resolute expression, “I am their chief…”

Why did this woman suddenly become so stubborn?

Ryan frowned. He didn't know if the Yodel could sense that he had demolished the temple.

But this idea is undoubtedly just a thought, and I am not a Noxian...

He thought about it and found another way. "Are you worried that after Kenan arrives here, he'll discover that other believers are showing signs of being invaded by the Azakana and will expel you all from the Order of the Kinkou?"

"Yes."

"Then I have a solution." Ryan said to Hela: "Gather them together, and I will remove the Azakana from their souls."

“Can you think of a solution?” Hela’s expression was complicated, with surprise mixed with doubt.

"Why not give it a try?" Ryan took the initiative to walk out. "There are only two possible outcomes. One is that I'm not capable enough to get rid of those evil spirits, let alone play dirty tricks in front of you. The other is that I'm stronger than you and can get rid of those evil spirits...

"And if I'm stronger than you, even if you refuse now, can you stop me?"

Hela felt that what Ryan said was very unpleasant.

But even if there was a glimmer of hope, she wanted to give it a try.

This is better than letting their situation deteriorate further.

"I'll go gather the congregants."

......

Hela moved quickly.

When Ryan reached the designated location, the believers whose souls were mixed with the aura of Azakana had gathered together.

When their eyes met Ryan's, they... or rather, the Azakana in them instinctively sensed something.

Hela discovered that the originally calm believers suddenly became irritable. They persisted for more than ten seconds before being completely consumed by their emotions.

Panic and rage accumulated in the quiet temple, and then were suddenly replaced by another atmosphere in the next second.

Hela forced herself to suppress her instinct to take action and looked in Ryan's direction.

A gloomy aura emerged from Ryan's body, and it seemed as if stars were gathering in his black eyes.

The spiritual gift's enhancement of Ryan is shown again here.

Before that, he needed to let the brothers Yasuo and Yone enter the painting realm first, and then use the painting realm to connect with the Azakana that existed deep in their souls.

But this time... Ryan was just like Kenan in the background story. When darkness gathered in his eyes, he saw the black smoke hidden deep in everyone's soul.

The increase in soul strength brought him closer to the spiritual realm.

In Ryan's magic concept, being able to see is equivalent to being able to solve...

So he raised his hand and gently pinched the black smoke.

'Om'

The gloomy wind blew and ruffled everyone's clothes.

Hela held on to the pillar beside her to steady herself.

And those believers who were sitting together burst into miserable wails in this gloomy wind...

Chapter 185 The Devil's Weakness

The gloomy wind has no shape, it just gently stirs the air flow.

But for the believers, the invisible wind seemed to have crossed the spiritual and material barriers at a certain moment, and appeared directly in the depths of their souls, releasing the evil spirits that had troubled them for a long time.

Yes.

Ryan did not choose to eliminate the Azakana directly from within the souls of the believers.

He is like a doctor performing surgery. Before he actually picks up the scalpel to cut the necrotic tissue, he must first expose the necrotic tissue completely to his sight.

Azakana often appears with negative emotions.

But darkness is the 'master' of negative emotions.

When Ryan wanted to let the darkness reproduce those emotions, the believers were unable to resist at all.

All kinds of negative emotions and thoughts erupted in their minds, and Azakana, who had suddenly swallowed up a large amount of negative emotions, suddenly emerged above the "water surface" like a fully inflated ball.

From Ryan's perspective, the black smoke spreading from the bodies of the believers slowly twisted into disgusting tentacle shapes.

They were stacked and intertwined in circles and layers, forming a tumor composed of countless hideous tentacles.

After being "forced" to appear, the reason they adopted this posture was not to fight back, but to "band together for warmth."

These Azakana attached to the believers are indeed different from those encountered in Morning Glory Village.

Their appearance is more bizarre and evil, and they seem to have a slightly higher level of intelligence.

The huge tumor exuded a strong negative emotion, like a giant source of pollution constantly extending its tentacles to one person after another.

Then they gather together the negative energy they have absorbed, as if hoping to use it as a means of resistance.

Hela sensed something and placed her fingers between her eyebrows.

A certain power of order arose from her.

But this 'weak' power can only protect herself.

The wailing sounds could not be transmitted due to the obstruction of the rock wall, but after they hit the rock wall and reflected back, they formed even louder howls.

Hela turned her gaze to the culprit. She didn't understand what Ryan was waiting for.

Although the wails came from the believers, she knew that the real wails came from the evil spirits attached to the souls.

Since there is a way to make evil spirits wail, why not just get rid of them?

Hela wanted to question, but she had no room to speak in the gloomy wind.

Ryan didn't pay attention to the chief believer's gaze...

He looked up at the bloated, disgusting, twisted tumor. He hadn't launched a real attack yet, but Azakana was already afraid.

The elevation of the soul is like adding a microscope to the perception.

The 'things' that were once unobservable now have clear tracks.

It is well known that the way Azakana draws power is by attaching itself to the soul and consuming the negative emotions emanating from the soul.

This emotion makes them strong, allows them to grow and even evolve.

But Azakana himself has emotions... This is what Ryan discovered in Morning Glory Village.

At that time, he discovered fear from the azakana that possessed Yongen, but he only discovered fear.

But now he finally caught a glimpse of the other signs that the Azakana were showing while emitting fear: their power was fading...

The 'birth' or 'death' of Azakana is like a rope, pulling it up means life, pulling it down means death.

So this is why humans with strong wills can make them afraid... because these people can make the Azakana feel fear, even if they themselves cannot sense the Azakana, but the fear can make the Azakana kill itself.

Ryan didn't know if anyone else had made a similar discovery before, but he knew the designer hadn't!

Knowing this doesn't seem to be of much help in dealing with Azakana, but what if it is used on more powerful demons?

Why have those great demons that have been materialized, such as Tam and Evelynn, been able to "live freely" in Runeterra for so many years?

Because they already have their own fixed 'cuisine', and the characteristics of demons make them difficult to kill.

So, is using Greed against Tam and Pain against Evelynn more effective than simply defeating them?

"Roar!"

A shrill roar interrupted Ryan's thoughts.

When he raised his head, he found that the bloated tumor had become dry and flat, as if it had been dried for a thousand years in just ten seconds.

After being pressed step by step by fear, they finally reached a dead end.

The accumulated twisted tentacles were slowly put back. This time they were not trying to absorb negative emotions again, nor were they giving up. Instead, they hoped to return to those warm souls... Even if only a fragment was returned, a new Azakana could be reproduced in the future.

What a bunch of... naive Azakana.

Ryan snapped his fingers lightly.

Dark purple magic quietly emerged in the wind, surrounding the huge tumor and those twisted tentacles, and then suddenly burst out with a scorching heat that could melt the soul.

Those 'evil spirits' that had tortured the believers for a long time and once brought them to the brink of collapse, suddenly became 'tiny particles' floating in the spiritual realm.

As for the believers who were "exorcised", they fell into a deep coma when Azakana disappeared.

Ryan looked at Hela next to him.

The latter was already sweating profusely, and his loose robe had become clingy.

She couldn't see what was happening, but that vague perception was often the biggest breeding ground for fear.

Fortunately, those 'evil spirits' that could take advantage of the situation have disappeared in advance.

"Do you need to check?"

Ryan walked over and said to Hela.

“No need…” Hela looked at Ryan deeply, and her tone became respectful. “Do you want to take a break?”

"No need. You can summon Kenan now. As for them..." Ryan turned around and looked at the unconscious believers, "You can tell Kenan that they over-consumed their soul power in order to resist the invasion of evil spirits."

Hela pursed her lips. "I might need to rest for a while..."

But then she immediately assured him, "I'll contact headquarters after a short break. It'll take time for Lord Kenan to come over. Do you have any plans during this time?"

"Can I just stay here and wait?" Ryan didn't want to go back and forth between the temple and the town.

“Of course.” Hela agreed. With a strong man like Ryan around, at least it could ensure that the believers would not be disturbed by any evil spirits again during this period.

"Then please arrange a place for me to rest."

"Does that young man you're familiar with need to be released?"

"He..." Ryan thought for a moment, "Let him out if possible."
