Chapter 43 Ending: The Infatuated Heartbroken Man
Instantly.

The originally noisy scene suddenly fell silent.

No one dared to breathe heavily.

As soon as Viego's final monologue came out, everyone was silenced.

this.
Is he the rebellious bigot who never grows up?

no, he is not.

He felt strange.

It's as if he grew up overnight. He no longer has the anger and darkness he used to have, but instead gives people a feeling of dominance.

Looking down on the world like a real emperor.

Of course, it’s that villain, the Dark Emperor.

The only thing that allows people to see the shadow of his past is that he is still so infatuated.

Even though he was killed by Isolde herself, he still loved her deeply.

He even went so far as to make the whole world his enemy in order to revive her.

"How could this happen? His inner monologue gave me goosebumps all over my body."

"Me too. For a moment, I suddenly didn't hate him that much."

“The image of the lone figure sitting on the broken throne looks so touching.”

"Damn it, he's obviously the tyrant Viego, why does he make my blood boil?"

“Evolved”

“Or rather, it has been sublimated.”

"I just feel inexplicably sad. Such people are horrible."

"I hope someone in Runeterra can stop him. I'm so afraid that he won't be able to resurrect Isolde and will destroy the world in a rage."

Jury seat.

"Are you getting to the point here?" Liu Ciping frowned slightly.

He felt that if Su Xinghe handled it this way, the effect would not be very good.

Even if this is how the story should be - ending with Viego's madness leading to destruction.

That shouldn't be written out either, leaving it blank is the best choice.

As for the theme of this round, he has indeed gone astray.

"I feel like I can't pull it back." Liu Ciping turned to look at Jiang Tao and smiled helplessly.

Jiang Tao put on an attitude of a worldly expert: "I can't help it. He made the finishing touch become superfluous. You praise him too much. How can he be perfect in every aspect at such a young age?"

Chen Kaige seemed to have a little trust in Su Xinghe, and gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, there is still half a day. Perhaps, Kalista and Ledros will appear later. Is it possible that their sequel is the highlight?"

Jiang Tao was amused: "Nonsense."

It is indeed as Chen Kaige said.

Su Xinghe did not intend to make Viego the protagonist of this round of competition.

It's too dark and inhumane, not suitable.

So he chose
That man.

[Spear of Vengeance—Kalista]

When she opened her eyes again.

The city of Helia has been reduced to ruins.

The entire Blessed Island became a dark and shadowy place, and all the wailing ghosts were cursed forever.

She didn't know what had happened, and she couldn't find Ledros.

She tried to hold onto the fragments of her memory of Hecarim's treachery, but they were fading fast.

The black fog is surging.

She became a ghost.

All his memories were ruthlessly erased, and he became a killing machine without any independent consciousness.

She is a ghost full of revenge and resentment, an immortal soul of revenge.

She is a nightmare from the Shadow Isles who hunts down those who betray her.

Those who have suffered betrayal will call out her name, and she will only respond to those who are willing to sacrifice their souls as the price.

Whenever someone is willing to make a sacrifice, she will respond to the call and absorb their soul.

Then she used the soul javelin in her hand to fulfill their long-cherished wish of revenge.

She became a character in a horror legend that spread among the people and was called the Spear of Vengeance.

"Everything has its rewards!"

“This place used to be very beautiful.”

"Our spears are incredibly accurate."

"Our hatred burns coldly."

"traitor!"

"Feel our hatred!"

"My heart aches. How did Sister Ka become like this?"

"Look at what you've done, Viego, you've become a revenge maniac!!"

"And that old dog Hecarim!"

"Compared to the justice and kindness before, it seems even more cold and ruthless."

"I wonder if Sister Ka in ghost form can crush Hecarim."

【End·Infatuated Heartbroken Man】

The Curse of Ruin erupted, and everyone turned into undead.

The same is true for Ledros.

However, although he turned into an undead spirit, he was not corrupted by the curse because of his strong will.

He retained his memories of his previous life and became a high-level undead.

"I have not forgotten my love for Callista, and I never will."

"It's buried deep in my mind and has taken over my entire memory world."

Unfortunately.

Kalista is now completely consumed by the flames of vengeance.

She kept wandering around, running for revenge to sacrifice her soul.

She no longer had any sense of self, and all her past experiences were forgotten.

Although Ledros often passed Kalista in the Shadow Isles, they never recognized each other.

Moreover, he could not sense any human light in Kalista. Only when he placed the silver pendant with roses in front of her eyes would she stop and wake up for a moment.

but.

This kind of clarity is like a flash in the pan, and she will return to her original cold and dead state in the blink of an eye, engulfed by the fire of revenge.

In order to awaken the familiar Kalista, Ledros tried his best to rescue her from the body of the Spear of Vengeance.

With his superb swordsmanship, he helped Kalista destroy the Ghost Riders of the Iron Order.

But in the Shadow Isles, these knights can be resurrected infinitely.

No matter how many times he killed, no matter how many people he killed, Kalista could never return to herself.

Later, Ledros began to wonder if it was Hecarim's betrayal that caused her to have such a strong hatred and anger.

So he took great pains to kill Hecarim, separated his head and body, and drove him into the black fog.

However, it was still useless, as Hecarim could be resurrected infinitely in the black fog.

Ledros did not give up, he came up with a second solution.

He set up a face-to-face confrontation between Kalista and Hecarim, and even had Kalista pierce Hecarim's heart with her spear.

But even after doing this, nothing changed.

What exists in Kalista's heart now is no longer hatred for Hecarim. She has long lost the memory of those days and is just a carrier of pure belief in revenge.

There is no justice, only revenge.

Day after day, year after year.

Hundreds of years passed.

Ledros had tried his best to save Kalista countless times, but each time he failed.

His lover was right in front of him, but he couldn't save her.

The deep feeling of powerlessness and despair even made him think about committing suicide.

One day, he faced the rising sun, hoping that the scorching sun would burn his disembodied body to ashes.

But it's no use.

He is a Shadow Isle Undead.

As long as the black fog comes, he will be resurrected.

Until one day, he came up with a new idea.

If Kalista is unable to complete her revenge because she forgets her target, she will be unable to free herself from the body of the Spear of Vengeance.

So what would happen if you gave her a goal?

After much deliberation, Ledros decided to use himself as the target so that Kalista could complete her revenge.

So he took off all his equipment and spoke honestly to Kalista.

He told her that he should have been able to save her, but his inaction led to the tragedy.

He felt that this was also an incompetent betrayal of Callista.

Although it seems a bit far-fetched, he is willing to try it as long as there is a possibility.

Unexpectedly, this attempt was successful.

Kalista's expression changed.

"traitor!"

She sighed, then attacked Ledros.

"All traitors must die!"

As she spoke, she pierced his heart with her spear.

Ledros’s vision began to blur and his form began to disintegrate.

But he saw that Kalista's eyes were changing, the ruthless mask fell, replaced by increasingly obvious fear.

Eventually, Kalista regained her sense of self.

She rushed to Ledros, who was covered with spears, and hugged him, regretting her madness and crying.

Ledros wanted to comfort him, but no words came out.

"For you, I am willing."

The Black Mist came and took Ledros away.

But this death made him happy, because before he died, he saw that the former Kalista had finally returned.

It doesn't matter if he dies once.

Not long after, Ledros was reborn once again within the Black Mist.

He couldn't wait to find Callista.

But when she appeared before him again, he was stunned.

Kalista is still as cold and ruthless as ever, like a machine, accepting the desire for revenge conveyed from the world, demanding soul chips, and completing the revenge mission.

She is not Kalista, she is still the Spear of Vengeance.

There is no hope for everything.

Ledros understood.

His extra thoughts were just too stupid.

Ledros was left with only despair, and he had no strength to hold on any longer.

He pulled hard on the pendant around his neck, breaking the fragile chain.

That was the only token of his and Callista's love.

He laughed at himself and threw it into the black fog.

"Nothing can bring us back."

After Ledros left, Thresh the Jailer, only a skeleton soul left, walked out of the darkness.

After making sure that there was no one around, he bent down and picked up the discarded silver pendant.

"That fool was so close, he almost turned her back."

"But now, after hundreds of years of trying, the moment before success."

“He gave up.”

A gust of wind blew by, and the only sound in the air was Thresh's low, sinister laugh.

Yes, just at this step, he gave up.

He lost the token and his last hope of redeeming Kalista.

Kalista will always be the spear of vengeance.

"We're done with you!"

"We are everywhere, and nothing can bring us back."

(Some friends said that the writing style of these two chapters is much rougher, mainly because the author has been a bit busy these days, and there are no drafts saved, and it is too urgent to polish it carefully.)
