He Comes From the Void

Runeterra is a high magic world, there is no doubt about it.

The technology here has just started, and it is still developed based on Hex crystals, so the status of magic is still unshakable.

But with the fall of magic civilizations and the severance of magic inheritance, Icacia, Shurima, Blessed Island... the current Runeterra is no longer the final say of the declining academy mages.

It is now the world of talented people from all walks of life.

The river of magic power flows in the spiritual realm, and occasionally a splash of water can bring about the birth of a gifted person.

These gifted people don't need to study systematically. They can squander magic at will and easily do things that ordinary people can't imagine by relying on their innate talents.

Kane felt that he had lost his talent. He was fourteen years old this year. If he really had any magical talent, he should be awakened.

But he hasn't shown any special ability so far. There is no way. If he wants to master magic, he can only follow the ancient way.

These forgotten ancient spells may not be very strong at the beginning of learning, but the strength of the top spells must not be underestimated.

For example, the enchantment of the tower has changed the law of time, and it is also the hand of magic that has elevated human beings into god warriors.

Although the goal is clear, he still has to complain: "Learning magic is really fucking difficult!"

The difficulty is not to figure out the principle. Ixtar, the neighboring country of Icacia, is also a magical country. They believe that the original axiom reveals the essence of elemental magic.

In Kane's view, the so-called original axioms are just more complicated plane geometry.

Of course, it's not that simple. When casting a spell, the change of a secant line will often affect the pressure and temperature of the space, but in general, there are no new concepts that Kane cannot understand, so it is not difficult.

Icacia's magic is not much worse than Ixtar's.

What is really difficult is the last step in elemental magic - shaping.

According to the method of meditation in the book, Kane needs to sense the free elements in the nearby space and shape them into spells.

But he sensed the elements and drew out the spells, but he didn't have enough magic power to guide them to fill the circuit, resulting in the spellcasting failure.

For a while, Keisha was obsessed with watching Kane cast spells, watching him rub fireballs only to light a flame the size of a candle.

"Can you do that again?"

This is what he heard from Kesha's mouth that was about to break him down.

The theory is understood, but the practice is not.

Thinking that some talented people could make the earth tremble and crack just after awakening their talents, Kane cracked on the spot.

Then he couldn't help but start to wonder, isn't he the material for this area?

He can hardly perceive magic power, all he can perceive is endless void energy, but these distorted and wanton powers cannot be directly applied to the axioms of magic.

This made Kane discouraged for a while. He felt that his magic talent was not good, so he might as well continue to cultivate the void skin armor and take the route of physical strengthening. And Kaisha is even worse in this regard, she can't even sit still and meditate, let alone sense the elements.

In fact, he didn't know that the river of magic had not flowed in Icacia for thousands of years.

It's not that he is not talented, but that this cursed place has long been filled with void energy, and it is difficult for him to perceive magic power here.

If you change the place, he can play his due level.

Kane's discouragement only lasted for a while, and soon he found other ways to become stronger.

Since learning magic, he has been addicted to the high concentration of void energy in the air.

By refining the meditation method and trying it many times, he controlled the energy of the void for the first time without using the skin armor.

The skin armor was already very active in Icacia, undulating slightly non-stop, as if breathing the high concentration of energy in the air.

And Kane gathers invisible energy into tangible purple light spots through meditation, making the skin armor swallow the light spots stronger.

He taught the meditation method to Kesha, who quickly learned it, and now the two of them don't even have to hunt.

Since it can "photosynthesize", why take the risk to hunt? It really makes my breathing stronger!

The use of void energy is not limited to this, and Kane's discovery next seems to have opened the other side of the taboo.

He began to try to erode the flesh and blood with void energy, and found that the flesh and blood were directly dissolved into a pale fluid substance, and then quickly absorbed by the skin armor like a sponge absorbing water.

This means that if he encounters a large creature in the future, he can melt it first, and then take a bath in the pale substance transformed from the organic matter, and then complete the devouring, and the efficiency has been increased by an unknown number of times.

And this process is irreversible, pale matter cannot be turned back into life.

However, these pale substances can actually create another kind of creature.

It is the opposite of life—creation of the void.

Void energy and pale matter can be converted into each other. Kane first converts energy into matter, then stretches and shapes the matter, and finally creates void creatures out of thin air.

Creating life has always been regarded as a taboo. Although it is only the weakest ethereal, it is enough to subvert his cognition.

Digesting life is the eternal mission of the Void. Kane can't change the fact that the creatures he created will attack him, but with the increased spiritual power due to meditation, these Void creations can also play a big role.

For this new ability, Kane has some dangerous ideas to practice.

...

Led by Kassadin, the three came underground through a hidden entrance.

By analyzing the corrosion marks left on the rock wall, Kassadin can determine how long ago the last time the Void Spirits passed through this channel, and how many or how few there were.

In a way, this is better than Kane's radar, because it can often track the traces of the ethereal several kilometers away.

And after Kane practiced meditation during this period, the range of perception has not broken 100 meters.

"Isn't meditation enough to feed the armor? Why do you suddenly want to hunt again?" The tunnel was very low, and Kesha put her hands on her head to prevent her head from rubbing against the rough ceiling.

In order to facilitate communication with Kassadin, neither of them wore a helmet.

"When we find the target, you can see how I kill them."

Kane made a fool of himself, he hadn't told Kesha about the matter, but the latter made up a possibility by himself.

"Do you want to perform a fireball technique to blow up the void spirits?"

"..." Kane didn't answer the words. Not being able to cast magic was the eternal pain in his life.

The three advance through the tunnel, gradually approaching their goal.

At the end of the tunnel, a group of ethereal spirits shimmered furtively.

"Stop!" Kane held Kassadin: "Just watch my performance next."
