Monster Hunter from League of Legends

"And the method of mastering this power lies in... Sejuani being unable to enter the spiritual realm."

"what?"

Sejuani was stunned for a moment, then scratched her head. "Then I won't be able to use the power from my past life, right?"

"wrong."

Ignoring Sejuani's interruption, Faan looked at Allura doubtfully and said:

"The spiritual realm is a projection of the souls of individuals in the material realm. In this context, any life that lives or has ever existed in Runeterra will leave traces in the spiritual realm. Even reincarnation will leave corresponding tracks in the corresponding space. If Sejuani's perception of the spiritual realm is simply dull, then it is only more difficult to enter, not impossible."

Hearing this, Allura fell silent, and then couldn't help but tremble, as if she was enduring something unspeakable.

During the long silence, everyone couldn't help but become solemn, realizing that this matter might not be as simple as they imagined.

After everyone waited for a long time, Allura suddenly cheered happily: "Great! Finally someone can discuss this with me! Woohoo! Why didn't Faan come earlier!"

"what?"

Seeing Alora's sudden excitement and sudden sadness, Fahn and the others were stunned for a moment. Then Fahn reached out and patted Alora's head helplessly and said:

"Well, let's discuss business first. Once things here are settled, let's go to Ionia together. We're sure to find a lot of like-minded friends there!"

"Okay! It's a deal!"

Allura nodded with a smile, lowered her head and let her big ears fall in front of Faan and said, "As a reward, you can touch my ears."

Seeing this, Fane was also happy, then reached out and stroked the pair of big rabbit ears that felt great in his hands.

Years of hunting with a knife in hand, her slightly rough palms rubbed against her soft ears. The Pony rabbit ears had several times more afferent nerves than other parts of the body, which made Alola feel a strong stimulation. She couldn't help but clench her hands and clamp her legs together, but thinking that Faan seemed to like the touch here, Alola barely endured it, but her breathing became a little faster and her face had a subtle pink color.

“How strange.”

Sejuani crossed her arms and tilted her head, feeling that something was wrong with this scene.

"Because Alola is lonely too."

Ashe smiled and explained, "Alora doesn't have any bad intentions. She just cherishes Faan too much."

"Even stranger."

Sejuani shrugged. Considering that Allura and Ashe seemed to have a good relationship, she didn't think much of it.

After touching her ears, Allura calmed down her body's reaction and continued:

"Under normal circumstances, it's exactly as Fahn said. Everyone can freely enter and exit the spiritual realm. However, depending on each person's sensitivity to the spiritual realm, some people can easily find the trick to enter the spiritual realm, but the vast majority of people may not be aware of the existence of the spiritual realm until they die. Or rather, they only become aware of the existence of the spiritual realm after death. This is because the underworld, the netherworld, and so on are also part of countless spiritual realms."

"This includes our own thoughts. If an individual's soul power is strong enough, they can also carve out their own spiritual realm. Just like what we often call 'the mind', it is a world of thought that belongs to us alone."

Faan: "So what's Sejuani's problem?"

"Cerilda's power is too strong, and it feels to me like it's intentional."

Allura, feeling somewhat helpless, clutched her hips and looked at Sejuani. "If entering the spiritual realm requires a passage through one's soul, then Serilda's consciousness is like a huge rock. Unless Sejuani's power is greater than Serilda's, it will be extremely difficult to move it."

Fain: "Is there any other way?"

"some."

Allura replied, "Although these powers belong to Serylda, Sejuani is Serylda. Therefore, as long as Sejuani imitates Serylda more, or becomes Serylda, these powers will naturally be available to Sejuani."

Upon hearing this, Faan nodded thoughtfully. "So, it seems more like the first Serilda set up a kind of insurance policy for her own power? To prevent her reincarnated self from betraying her?"

"I don't know. Maybe he simply hopes this power won't fall into the wrong hands?"

Alora said:

"The balance of the spirit world has been disrupted. My spirit friends say that Volrigard is awakening. If this power belongs to Serilda, one of the three ice sisters, then perhaps there is some connection?"

Fain shrugged. "I don't know about that."

As they spoke, Glenna kept her gaze fixed on Sejuani. After a moment's silence, she said, "So, as the reincarnation of Serilda, if Sejuani wants to inherit Serilda's power, she must first inherit Serilda's cause?"

"Ah."

Allura nodded.

"That's really difficult."

Glenna said helplessly, "Cerilda is known as the 'Conqueror of the Icefield,' 'The Wrath of the North,' and 'The Biting North Wind.' Born in the cold, shaped by wind and snow, tempered by the bitter cold... Becoming a Serilda isn't easy."

"What's so hard about this?"

Hearing this, Sejuani seemed quite unconcerned: "Doesn't that mean I should just be myself? It's no big deal. And even if I don't have Serilda's power, so what? I, Sejuani, will definitely become the most powerful Warmother!"

Hearing this, Glenna blinked, then, recalling Sejuani's strong character, said with a smile, "Indeed."

As she spoke, Glenna glanced at Faan. After confirming that Faan shared the same idea, she looked at Allura and said, "So... Allura, in your opinion, is there anything special about Ashe?"

70

Chapter 70 Avarosa’s Arrow?

After hearing Glenna's question, Allura was stunned for a moment, then stared at Ashe for a while.

But after a moment's hesitation, he finally said truthfully, "While I understand you're trying to convey that Ashe is extraordinary, from what I've seen... there's nothing special about Ashe. If I had to put it bluntly, it feels like something's missing."

"What's missing?"

Hearing this, Glenna was stunned.

In truth, when Alora hesitated, Glenna, standing beside her, had already braced herself for disappointment. Of course, even in the face of disappointment, Glenna remained steadfast in her pursuit, continuing her quest for the throne of Avarosa. At the very least, she wanted to see for herself that she was wrong—she wouldn't give up until the end. After all, Glenna wouldn't believe anyone else's story until the dust settled.

And now, what's missing? This sounds a little too subtle.

"You mean, Ashe's soul is incomplete?"

Faan asked from the side.

"No, Ashe's soul is intact."

Allura shook her head and said, "But... I don't think it should be complete in this form. It feels like it's missing a part."

"But then again, that weapon is a bit strange."

Turning around, Allura pointed to the three-pronged spear hanging from Kokia's waist and said, "That spear seems to be missing something. It has its own consciousness, longing for completeness."

Seeing Allura pointing to her waist, Glenna nodded after a brief silence. She then untied the short spear from her waist and said, "This is an arrow that once belonged to Avarosa."

"Eh?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone let out a cry of surprise.

"Avarosa's bow and arrow? Doesn't that mean this short spear... no, this bow and arrow is thousands of years old?"

"more or less."

Glenna said, "This was passed down to me by my mother, along with many texts and poems that record the legend... Although Ashe doesn't have the distinct features of Sejuani in your eyes, Allura, I stand by my judgment. Twenty years ago, I visited the holy city of Raksstark. The statue of Avarosa, the eldest of the three sisters, left a deep impression on me. Even when Ashe was a child, I recognized her extraordinary qualities."

"Appearance comes second."

"What truly makes me feel extraordinary is that even though Ashe was born on this icy plain, in this cruel land, she still possesses a precious and tolerant heart. She can understand the pain of others, feel distressed for their suffering, and grieve for their sorrow. She can even spread this gentleness and kindness to others... This is exactly what this cruel land lacks and needs."

After hearing her mother's words, a look of surprise appeared on Ash's face.

Even when Fane had said that his mother discovered that he was the reincarnation of Avarosa because of her archaeological research, Ashe was not as surprised as she is now.

Because Ashe knew very well that her mother and her sworn fathers loved her very much - compared to Ashe, Sejuani's growing environment was the growing environment of most children in Freljord.

"No matter what, Ashley, you are a child that makes me proud."

After a pause, Glenna took a deep breath, and then solemnly handed the bow to Ashe. "After Faan and Sejuani arrived, I also realized something... I was a little too obsessed with the so-called legend. Compared to the reincarnation of Avarosa, you are the most important. Ashe, do what you think is right. Not to prove that you are the reincarnation of Avarosa, but for what you truly desire."

"..."

Hearing this, Ashe stared at the arrow in her mother's hand, unsure how to respond. She looked around. Her mother's eyes were filled with determination, Sejuani's were encouraging, and Allura's eyes were filled with kind curiosity. And Faan, not to mention the other, raised her hand and gave him a thumbs-up when she noticed him looking at her.

He subconsciously turned his head and saw his smiling biological father Ilu standing at the door and the other sworn fathers who took care of him and taught him all the fighting skills.

In the distance, people were busy carving up the carcass of a sea monster, laughing and talking happily...

For some reason, Ashe suddenly felt like she needed to do something. It wasn't anything grand, just something to preserve this happiness, to allow others to feel it too...

That's when.

"Oh oh! Something has changed, something has changed!"

Miss Rabbit, standing by, exclaimed, holding up her round-framed glasses and saying, "That arrow, a spirit appeared on that arrow! Oh my God!"

Allura didn't need to continue. Immediately afterward, the three-pronged spear pierced the air, its bare shaft condensing into a tail of icy feathers. As if possessed of its own consciousness, it circled Ashe twice before slipping into the quiver at her waist.

Looking at the scene happening in front of him, Faan didn't have too many thoughts, but just couldn't help but complain:

"Actually, I felt something was amiss with that short spear when I was sparring with Warmother Glenna."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Glenna smiled and asked, "What do you mean?"

Faan replied, "It's too thin, completely unsuitable for close-quarters combat. It's also too short, requiring you to hold your weight in the middle to maintain balance, resulting in a ton of unnecessary, useless design. Add to that the automatic target-seeking and return-to-target abilities... while they might be fine on a javelin, they don't seem like abilities a short spear, a close-quarters weapon, should possess."

Typically, a short spear is about 1.4 meters long. Held with two hands, it's ideal for close combat. Therefore, strict requirements are set regarding thickness based on the strength of the material, the need for resistance to blows, and ease of grip. Shorter spears exist, but as the shaft shortens, the spearhead gradually lengthens. More like a short sword than a spear.

The short spear in Glenna's hand was different—its shaft was only as long as Glenna's forearm, so slender it was barely thicker than her fingers. Its three-pronged head was composed entirely of True Ice, a purity far exceeding that of ordinary True Ice weapons. However, according to Freljord tradition, inlaying it into a larger weapon was the most common choice, rather than forging it directly into a short spear.

Glenna shrugged nonchalantly at this. "This is a bow once used by Avarosa. The magic on it is incredibly powerful. An ordinary craftsman wouldn't be able to craft it."

71

Chapter 71 Avarosa's Holy Arrow.

After hearing what Glenna said, Fane nodded in understanding.

The most common, abundant, and powerful magic in the Freljord is the native ice magic of this land. Over the past millennia, the Ice Sisters have amassed a wealth of faith—a faith that can be transformed into power, though at a high price, and can become poisonous if not handled with caution.

But even so, the ice magic cast by the three ice sisters cannot be modified or destroyed by ordinary craftsmen.

Thinking about this, Faan asked Ashe: "What do you mean? Ashe, what are the abilities of Avarosa's bow?"

Before this, when fighting Glenna, Fane had personally experienced the power of the Arrow of Avarosa. However, at that time, the Arrow of Avarosa's abilities were very simple, namely automatic enemy detection, automatic recovery, and freezing attack.

To be fair, it's actually quite powerful. Automatic enemy detection means having an extra ally in battle. And this ally is only for attack, not defense. According to Glenna, it's quite costly to use. Otherwise, it could easily annihilate an entire tribe, just like Star-Lord's adoptive father's whistle arrows in Marvel comics—without other mages or Iceborn warriors.

Automatic recycling, needless to say, simply returns to your side. Frost attack means Faan's body is completely resistant to ice thanks to three ice beads. An ordinary person's brain would be frozen.

Now it's in Ashe's hands, and it looks like her spirituality has awakened...

"If you have the ability..."

After hearing Faan's question, Ashe didn't have much intention of hiding anything. Instead, after a moment's reflection, she looked at the people around her.

Facing everyone's curious gazes, Ashe said, "In addition to the automatic target search, automatic recovery, and frost attack that were already available when my mother used it, there's also the Frost Eye."

"Once locked, they will be affected by the cold wind and their movement will be slowed down. When the bow and arrow hit the target, frost magic will be released to freeze the enemy's body or weapon."

"Well...that's all for now."

Ashe nodded and said, "The Holy Bow is not complete. I think I can only truly unleash all of her power after I find it."

"Then can you feel where the Holy Bow is?"

Fane asked with great interest - although the answer given in the comics' background story was Gu Shuangkou, considering that the background story of League of Legends kept changing, there were a lot of skin universes, and changes in the future timeline, Fane also perked up to confirm it again and again.

"do not know."

Ashe shook her head. "Saint Arrow's consciousness is very simple, hardly even consciousness. It can only be considered a 'weapon's intuition.' Just letting me know her abilities has already exhausted all my intelligence."

Got it, the computing power is too low.

"What about you?"

Faan looked at Allura beside him.

Others might not be able to sense it, but having sensed it many times in the spiritual realm, Fane more or less realized that with the awakening of Sheng Ya's consciousness, new changes and clues should also appear in Ashe. However, these clues could not be sensed by ordinary people, and required professionals to detect them.

"over there."

Allura pointed to the highest peak of the Dragonback Mountains outside the corner house.

"After waking up in the Arrow of Avarosa, I felt a faint connection from the spiritual realm, but it was very weak and has been disconnected now, so I can't be sure."

Although Allura was unsure, Fain and Glenna beside her looked at each other, and then shrugged as expected.

Glenna: "That's right, that's the direction of Ancient Frost Mouth."
