Caught off guard, Atreus was blinded by Lux and Ino's "combination flash bombs".
Even if he trains hard... no one can train his eyes!
Atreus, whose eyes were completely white, was brave, but no matter how brave he was, he couldn't stab someone with his spear with his eyes closed.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lux and Ino tore off their robes directly, avoiding Atreus who was gesticulating, and started the next round of climbing on their hands and knees.
Half a quarter of an hour later, when Leona arrived belatedly with the Lahorak warriors, all they saw was a wailing Atreus (actually his eyes were crying in the wind), not even a trace of the blasphemer.
see.
"Stop crying!" Leona looked at Atreus who was still crying in front of her with disgust, "Where have they gone?"
"I don't know." Atreus replied angrily while wiping his tears, "I was blinded by the light and couldn't see where they went."
Upon hearing Atreus's words, all the faces of the Lahorak warriors showed expressions of disgust.
When did being blinded by light count as a reason for losing combat effectiveness?
Look at this loser's appearance, he is obviously scared to tears!
Among the Lahorak warriors who read classics and worship the Titans in their spare time, Atreus, who trains diligently, is an outlier. If you train alone, doesn't it seem that everyone is not serious?
Therefore, except for a few people who are relatively close to him, Atreus's popularity among the Lahorak warriors is not very good - otherwise he would not be called a bucket.
However, now he has lost his combat effectiveness due to being "dazzled by the light" and failed to catch the blasphemer, which naturally aroused the disdain and disgust of other La Horak warriors.
Although Lux and Ino's breakthrough mainly relied on making false claims, it was obviously easier for these proud Lahorak warriors to accept "the loser in our team is a waste" than "being fooled by the enemy's false claims."
In disdain, these Lahorak warriors followed Leona one after another, ignoring Atreus who was trying to return to the team, and began to climb higher up Mount Targon.
The blasphemer has climbed up.
Since the interception failed, let's pursue it in tandem!
Do two outsiders really want to climb Mount Targon?
……………………
When the Lahorak warriors began to pursue, Lux and Ino, who had taken off their robes above the cloud line and climbed in short clothes according to Kalya's request, had already climbed hundreds of meters.
Different from the thousands of streams competing at the foot of the mountain and the snow-capped slopes, above the cloud line, Mount Targon finally reveals its truest appearance.
The gray-black rocks stand above the clouds. At this height, Mount Targon is not so much a mountain as a pillar leading straight to the heavens.
Previously, above the snow line and below the cloud line, the wind on Mount Targon was howling, as if it was blowing through my bones, but when I reached the cloud line, the wind gradually died down.
There is no wind, no snow, only deathly silence, and the occasional flash of adult Sheep on the cliff and Xinshi Crane hovering around the mountain peak.
Quiet, deathly quiet, so quiet that Lux and Ino could almost hear their own breathing and their own heartbeats.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kalya gave the two people one last lesson.
"You must restrain your mind. The strong men in heaven are worthy of respect, but they should not be worshiped."
"Keep your heart and don't be tempted by powerful forces."
"Remember my advice, strength always comes at a price. Your preparation is enough to reach the top, but it is not enough to rise to the top, so don't be impulsive!"
"Be careful of the Rakkor behind you, they won't give up."
"When climbing, embrace the power of heaven as much as possible."
"..."
"..."
As Lux and Ino responded, Kalya's voice became smaller and smaller.
Finally, with the words "Let's climb with all our strength, I need a little rest", Kalya finally stopped talking and fell into silence completely.
Kalya's silence left Lux and Ino somewhat at a loss. They were used to having Kalja around and having such an encyclopedia answer all their unknowns.
Now, the teacher who had planned the climbing process suddenly had to take a break, and both Lux and Ino felt a sense of emptiness in their hearts.
However, remembering Kalya's repeated instructions before, the two gritted their teeth and focused all their attention on the climb itself.
Without the erosion of wind and snow, above the cloud line, time seems to have been suspended on Mount Targon. The stone vein patterns that have existed since the day of its birth are still clearly visible to this day.
Different from the previous climbing that relied entirely on random protrusions on the cliff, above the cloud line, Lux and Ino rarely saw the "road" again - the footprints left by those who had tried to climb Mount Targon were also
Fixed here, the footholds and resting places they had cut out were all clearly present on the gray-black rocks of Mount Targon.
From the perspective of Lux and Ino, the rolling sea of clouds farther and farther below them seems to be the long river of time in Runeterra. The Mount Targon that the two of them are climbing now is the place that is independent of the long river of time.
Outer immortality and eternity.
Even if they have no respect for the giant god, every time they look up for a place to stay, the clear starry sky they glimpse is enough to make Lux and Ino fascinated - whenever this happens, the two of them have to temporarily stop their movements to calm down.
Just fine.
This is true for Lux and Ino, let alone the Lahorak warriors below them!
Above the vast and silent sea of clouds, Lahorak warriors could follow Leona's footsteps and climb quickly at first, but as they climbed higher and higher, under the bright sky, someone finally appeared
I couldn't hold on any longer.
People who worship the gods forget themselves under the power of the gods and are afraid to move forward for fear of blaspheming the gods.
People with gaps in their will will suffer unbearable pain in the light of heaven, unable to withstand the radiance of heaven, and they will live like a candle in the wind.
People with weak bodies cannot breathe in the sea of clouds, and their limbs gradually lose strength until they fall off the cliff.
Leona, who was at the front, didn't even glance at these lagging elites of Lahorak, she just climbed at full speed - compared to these weak mortals, she was still the one who might be involved with the dark descendants or other old gods.
Climbers are more dangerous!
These two despicable blasphemers have deliberately chosen to climb at this twilight moment. If they cannot be intercepted halfway, when they actually reach the top of Mount Targon, Leona will not be blessed by the rays of the sun at all!
In a daze, Leona even thought of her former best friend. If she were here too... No, what am I thinking? She is also a blasphemer now!
Shaking her head, Leona quickened her pace of climbing.
Behind her, the formation of La Horak warriors has gradually thinned out, and more and more people have fallen behind and stopped climbing.
Under such circumstances, Atreus, who was at the end of the team, surpassed his comrades one after another, and together with Paras, came to a place not far from Leona.
