Stepping above the snow line, everything in front of you turns to gray and white, and the entire Mount Targon is a completely different world.
Stepping on the thicker and thicker snow, Lux and Ino seemed to feel the coldness of the snow on the ground with every step they took. This biting taste spread from the soles of their feet, making their knees feel colder.
He almost lost consciousness.
I could move, but I couldn't feel anything. I was completely numb from the cold.
"Take steps and don't stop." Kalya could only cheer for them at this time, "Control the bodies you can still control, drive your stiff and numb parts, and continue to move forward. After this period, everything will
Everything will change!”
However, despite the pain, Lux and Ino were in a good mood, because even with this kind of pain, Kalya had been vaccinated before, and they were confident.
Therefore, when Kalya tried to cheer them up, Lux not only did not panic, she even wanted to tell a joke - but unfortunately, just as she opened her mouth, the howling mountain wind mixed with snow powder blew over, making her choke.
The wind caught the wind and I had to stop and cough for a while.
Lux, whose face turned red from coughing, had to shut her mouth in embarrassment.
Kalya, who had always been narrow-minded, rarely calmed down at this time. Without Kalja's teasing, Lux breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time she felt as if something was missing, somewhat empty.
Forget it, move on.
Just as Kalya said, when Lux and Ino gradually adapted to this numbness and learned to control it, pain was no longer a shackle for them.
Moreover, when you step above the snow line, the mountain form of Mount Targon becomes even more terrifying - large tracts of cliffs are like knives and axes. If you want to continue climbing, you have to either go around a big circle and spiral up, or go straight up.
He squeezed his fingers into the gap in the stone wall and climbed with all his strength.
There was no need for Kalya to say anything. After Lux and Ino looked at each other, they chose the latter with a tacit understanding.
They climbed Mount Targon not to see the true face of the Titan and to dedicate themselves to the sacred; nor to reach the peak of Runeterra and see the mountains at a glance - for Lux and Ino, there was only one goal for this climb.
, bathe in the glory of heaven as much as possible, and transform yourself.
Reaching the top is not the goal, but the natural result.
Therefore, although spiraling upward is safe and reliable, it is not their purpose. Self-challenge and self-transformation are the true meaning of this trip.
Taking off their swords from their waists and carrying them behind their backs, Lux and Ino chose a cliff that looked more protruding and started climbing using both hands and feet.
……………………
Climbing up ordinary cliffs is actually not a difficult task for Lux and Ino. One of them has been practicing for a long time, and the other has ice blood. Although they are only on cliffs, it is not as easy as walking on flat ground, but it is still not stressful.
But if you add "of Targon" before the cliff, the meaning will be completely different.
These mountain winds seem to be able to peel off a layer of human skin. Although Lux and Ino have broken through that layer of numbness and their feet have gradually and subtly regained some feeling, they are still climbing the cliff at this time, even if they don't go down.
Look, my body can't help but shiver when the wind blows.
However, the height of the cliffs of Mount Titan was extremely astonishing. Even if they wanted to take a temporary rest, they would still have to climb a hundred feet to find one or two narrow terraces where they could take a breath of relief.
It was already late at night.
The starry sky is like a wash, and a bright moon is in the sky.
The bright moonlight was so bright, it was as if the entire Mount Targon had been sprinkled with a layer of silver sand. Under such moonlight, Lux and Ino could hardly tell whether there was any floating ice on a rock with their naked eyes.
Whether there is snow or not.
Fortunately, for Lux and Ino, this is not a problem now - when the moonlight shines on their bodies, their fatigue seems to have dissipated a lot, and the climbing speed of the two of them has increased a lot.
The movements are even more smooth, even if you really grab it on the solid ice, you won't fall off.
When the night was over and the bright moon was setting in the west, the two of them suddenly felt a little tired. When they were on a narrow rock platform and looked down again, they were shocked to find that they had climbed up overnight.
Climb the Qianren Cliff.
"This...is this really what we climbed?" Lux glanced at the cliff in front of her, and at her hands that were red from the cold but had regained their intuition, "It took one night?"
"Yes, we climbed it." Ino nodded in disbelief, "To be honest, I don't feel very cold anymore."
"That proves that you have successfully passed the first level." Kalya said in a pleased tone, "Keep going, the next level is the cloud line!"
After breaking through the physical limits of walking in the snow, Lux and Ino's journey became smoother again.
By noon, the two men, who were as nimble as apes, had completely crossed the most difficult area to climb above the snow line and arrived at an area with a relatively gentle slope.
In this area, they finally saw the glowing sheep that Kalya mentioned.
Looking at these brilliant sheep, which were bigger than cows and leaning on the rock wall, crunching and chewing ice cubes, it was already time to rest. Lux and Ino, who should be going to bed, still couldn't take their eyes away from the star-studded stars for a while.
Remove from the fur.
So beautiful.
The soft fur on the Hui Sheep's body is as if it was woven by the thousands of lights of the stars in the sky, each one exuding a dazzling light.
As the mountain breeze blows, the long wool of the glowing sheep seems to have turned into the sea, turning into undulating waves so gorgeously that people can't help but want to step forward and touch it.
"It's very beautiful, right?" Kalya said, "I once thought about separating the two characteristics of the Hui sheep, and cultivating one that produces meat, and then cultivating one that produces wool, and then the one that produces meat.
It succeeded, but the hair-producing one failed in the end - its hair is of excellent quality, but it is directly connected to the glory of the heavens. As long as it is caught down the mountain, the color of its hair will be as dim as that of ordinary creatures. It is a pity."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "What a magical animal." Lux nodded in admiration, "Speaking of which, is the Hui Sheep aggressive? It's time to take a lunch break.
You’re not going to come over and hump me, are you?”
"No, no, Hui Yang is actually not very courageous. Unless he is cornered, he will not take the initiative to attack people." Kalya chuckled, "Even when catching Hui Yang, there was only Aatrox.
The person was pinched - it was because the kid was anxious, so he just grabbed the horns of the sheep from the front and found a place with leeward to rest, don't worry."
Hearing what Kalya said, Lux and Ino nodded at the same time and breathed a sigh of relief.
……………………
They found a place that was exposed to the wind and found a place with a large gap in the rocks. Lacus and Ino stood side by side, leaning against the rock wall, and soon fell asleep peacefully.
In their deep sleep, neither of them realized that their bodies were undergoing huge changes unconsciously.
Among them, the most direct manifestation is that Lux's long golden hair and Ino's silver-white hair are now like the hair of the glowing sheep, exuding the brilliance like stars.
Of course, at a deeper level, the breathing of Lux and Ino gradually changed from rapid to calm, and even gradually became consistent with the reciprocating mountain wind. Although the two people leaning together were in the mountains, they did not give people the slightest impression.
They feel out of place, as if they live here and should rest here.
Saber was held tightly in Lux's arms, and Kalya also clearly felt this change in her.
Lux and Ino slept soundly, but Kalya needed to re-adapt to the relationship between herself and her little by little - for Kalya, the light of heaven was hot and painful, even if it was just the cold moonlight, in the
Whenever it shines on Kalya, it will give him a burning sensation.
This is the sequelae of being infected by the void.
The ascended person became a demigod by the infusion of celestial energy; and later became a darkin because of the erosion of void energy. The most common flesh and blood distortion of darkin is the repeated conflict between these two powerful energies using the body as the battlefield.
caused by.
As the weakest among the ascended ones, Kalya's severity after being infected by the void was even more astonishing. The other dark descendants had the power of heaven and the power of the void fighting back and forth in their bodies. Kalya was simply the ascended one.
He was forced to fall into a deep sleep, which was one of the reasons why he was forced to sleep for the first time.
Now, Kalya, who was severely infected by the void, came into contact with the celestial energy that was transforming Lux and Ino...
This is much scarier than opening a wound.
Lux and Ino are climbing Mount Targon and transforming themselves.
In this process, Kalya is also gradually increasing his ability to withstand the power of heaven.
Kalya could not be purified in this way, but he could maintain his sanity in pain and not be eroded by the void - he and Lux had said that when she successfully climbed the mountain, she might be able to create an elemental body for herself.
But what he didn't tell Lux was what kind of pain Kalya would have to go through in order to adapt to this elemental body.
It's not two people who need to work hard to climb, but three people.
Lux and Ino, who were sleeping, didn't know that Kalya, who had been cheering them on, was in their own little world after they finally fell asleep, rolling on the floor in pain.
The deep-rooted void erosion and the celestial light that fell on his body were like strong acid and alkali, repeatedly washing away Kalya's already scarred body and soul, making him wail in pain and silently.
Scenes from the past appeared before his eyes like a revolving lantern. When Lux and Ino woke up, Kalya was almost unconscious.
Fortunately, Kalya survived in the end - among the Ascended Ones, the only thing that Kalya can be praised for is his perseverance and unyielding will. The pain that is enough to crush other people's souls, Kalya can still survive.
Carrying it down hard!
"Are you awake?" Kalya tried hard to keep his tone calm, and finally said, "Brush off the floating snow on your body and keep walking. We are not far from the cloud line here."
"Hmm." Lux stretched, and when she glanced casually to the side, her eyes widened in disbelief, "Wait a minute, there is someone there!"
