Chapter 173 Mysterious Resurrection: Ancient Terror Fiddlesticks

“In Bilgewater.”

"Local sailors always like to exchange sea anecdotes in the bar when they are drunk."

""in--""

"There is a strange story about an atoll in the far sea that has spread widely. "

"It is said that there is a mysterious and terrifying existence on the atoll. "

"All those who try to get close to there, without exception, never return."

"As if cursed."

“It’s getting more confusing.”

"Two places, and both appeared in rumors."

"I'm familiar with the Freljord, but what is Bilgewater?"

"It seems even more mysterious. The identity of this thing must be extraordinary."

"Su Shen, please write quickly. I can't wait to know the answer."

"The residents of Mount Targon also have an ancient and mysterious legend."

““It’s about—”

"A child of twilight, whose only joy was snatched away one night by a ragged horror."

[Ms. Twilight, your key is quite nice. Did you steal it from a very dangerous person? ]

""And in Noxus.""

“When veterans of countless battles gather together, they always tell a sad fable. ”

"In the fable..."

“A lonely farmer, driven to despair by repeated crop failures, is fed to the crows.”

"And finally. "

"He was devoured by the crows of darkness and returned to this world as a demon."

""In addition, there are Demacia, Ixtal, Piltover, Ionia, Shurima and other places.""

““Everyone has a similar story.”

[Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty.]

[Brother, how could you.]

【Shame on us?! 】

【Are you scared? 】

"These terrifying legends appear in every corner of Runeterra, reshaped, twisted, and passed down through generations of stories."

"All the stories are about the same thing, which looks very much like a human and walks silently in places full of fear."

"Although the story about this horrible monster has been spread all over the world for a long time."

"But in most people's minds."

""These--""

“It’s all just a story to scare children. No one is really afraid of that old monster called Fiddlesticks.”

[Fiddlesticks. It's just a story to scare children]

"But now"

"But things have changed!"

"Twilight's child?"

"Miss Twilight?"

"Could it be the Twilight Star Spirit?"

"Fuck, looking at its lines, it feels very likely. This thing can actually be entangled with the Star Spirits, it must not be an ordinary thing."

"After reading this, I finally know the name of this horrible thing."

“Fiddlesticks!!”

"But why is it a scarecrow? It looks like this?"

"It does not matter."

"What's important is that there are traces of its existence throughout Runeterra."

“That’s terrifying.”

"Didn't you notice that according to the previous plot setting, this Fiddlesticks would imitate the words of the people who died at its hands?"

"Does that line, 'Brother, how could you bring shame upon us' sound familiar to you?"

"Wait, Yasuo?!"

“I don’t dare to think about it any further. So is Fiddlesticks really just a story?”

"besides."

"Why did the situation change again?"

After a brief pause.

The story continues:

"In the remote interior of Demacia, something has awakened."

"The inexplicable fear and unfounded worry created an atmosphere of panic among the crowd, which attracted it."

"A town hundreds of miles away from the capital became deserted within a few days." "Travelers along the ancient trail disappeared without a trace."

"The guards patrolling the kingdom's border have not returned yet."

"In the roadside tavern, the survivors were crying and scratching their faces. "

““A crow that is not a crow, a voice that is not a voice, and a terrifying thing that is like a landslide—”

"Takes the form of a scarecrow, steals the voices of the dead, and speaks gibberish."

“And all this.”

"It all started with the mage rebellion in Demacia."

"After Jarvan III's death, the native mage who had been imprisoned for many years led the Winter's Claw to invade Demacia."

"Since then, the entire Demacia has fallen into great panic."

"So, at first, everyone thought it was the work of a bad wizard."

““It can change over time.””

"Things are going wrong."

"Everyone gradually realized that something mysterious and terrifying seemed to have returned, just like the young wizard in the seaside tower in the story."

"An ancient evil that disappeared hundreds of years ago."

"Over time, the warnings left by humans in the ignorant period have turned into myths and nonsense."

“In the end, only a few lines of fables remain.”

"It is an existence beyond common sense, violating almost all current understandings of magic."

"It is an ancient existence beyond history, and it is the common fear of all living things."

"Even animals become uneasy if their name is spoken."

"After this terrible resurgence."

"Another half-forgotten legend has been revived in the Outback."

"Legend has it that there is a powerful evil spirit that has no form, no thoughts, and no concept of this world."

"It only knows how to make itself into a crude form that other creatures fear."

"It is the primal fear of all life, born from the first scream of terror."

"It is a demon that existed before humans knew about demons."

""At least.""

““That’s what the story says.””

""but--""

[“Fiddlesticks,”]
““It really exists.””

Finish writing this last paragraph.

Su Xinghe raised his head.

He slowly added:

"Fiddlesticks!"

"Ancient and terrifying."

"Walking silently on the fringes of mortal society, drawn to the atmosphere of panic, feeding on the terror of its prey."

"It transformed into a skinny and crude entity, wielding a worn-out sickle, and reaping fear itself."

"Those who are unfortunate enough to survive it will have their minds completely destroyed."

“Always be careful of the crows.”

"Or... a whisper from a human-like figure."

"That is--"

“Fiddlesticks is back!!”

Having said that, he started writing again.
