"Strange …"
Looking at the scarecrows that were slowly returning to normal, the more Li Ke destroyed these scarecrows, the stranger he felt. Not only were these scarecrows no longer as abnormal as before, but they didn't even have the ability to sense him anymore. They had become so ordinary in his perception, so ordinary that they were like simple scarecrows!
"Something isn't right."
Li Ke discovered that something was wrong. He knew that the most important thing to do when facing these ghosts was to concentrate and keep his heart calm. But the problem was that if the ghosts didn't appear, then his vigilance would completely consume his energy. Besides, the ghosts were still attacking him before, so the silence now was obviously wrong.
"Should I go back and take a look?"
This idea suddenly arose in his mind. But just as he stopped and was about to turn around, a scarecrow behind him jumped out abruptly. A burst of black-red energy suddenly spread out from the scarecrow, forming a circle. And Li Ke also slashed the Yatox the moment it appeared, successfully cutting the scarecrow that jumped out suddenly before it could set off a storm.
But when the scarecrow fell to the ground, the black-red energy in its body seemed to be sucked away by something and drifted away. Li Ke also confirmed his thoughts.
"It's avoiding me? It doesn't want me to go back to the place I investigated before? "
Li Ke, who had no fear in his heart and only anger, instantly understood this matter. He immediately ran in the direction he came from. And as he expected, when he ran back, the scarecrows that he cut down casually extended their palms at him, and more scarecrows kept jumping at him with their arms wide open. These scarecrows would brandish their sickles and slash at Li Ke the moment they approached him. And when Li Ke slashed the Yatox in his hand, he began to feel resistance.
Although it wasn't that he couldn't cut them, the feeling of cutting something tough made him realize that something was wrong. Because it was obvious that the ghosts had strengthened the power of these puppets, or rather …
"Does it not want me to escape? Or did its power increase because of the new victims? "
The memory of when he came to Demacia City with Morgana surfaced in Li Ke's mind. He realized that the strange feeling wasn't fake. He really felt Fedetig spying on him. But at that time, it obviously wasn't as strong as it was now. Or perhaps it was because of Morgana's presence that it didn't appear to attack him. But in this case, it was different from the 'settings' that he knew. After all, in the settings, Fedetig wasn't sealed or weakened. It should always be strong!
This strange behavior made Li Ke realize that he could no longer believe in the 'hero stories' he knew. There were too many things that didn't match up. Whether it was the cloning ability or the ability to manipulate people's hearts, they were all things that the scarecrows he knew didn't have!
I have to 'forget' the information about this hero in my heart!
After Li Ke confirmed this, although the unknown feeling in his heart rose, a sense of novelty began to emerge. This directly led to the resistance he felt when he slashed a few scarecrows that suddenly jumped out, instantly disappearing. But the more he ran, the more scarecrows jumped out in front of him. And the whispers in his ears sounded again.
"… Why do you want to kill me … It's obvious that if you die … I can live …"
"Li Ke … You betrayed me …"
"You can't go home … You can never go home …"
"Outsider … Get out …"
…
Some of these whispers were from the gladiators that he killed, some were from Aichy and Sejuani, and some were from Cherna. But most of them were from the general and the jailer who dragged him into the arena one day. Although these whispers could still make Li Ke's heart fluctuate, what he felt was not fear but anger. The more Fedetig told him about the past that made him feel fear, or the scenes of his failure, the more determined he was to kill Fedetig.
What happened in the past was not a scar, and he shouldn't worry about what happened the day after tomorrow.
As a gladiator who had crossed countless deaths and was no longer afraid of death, he was no longer afraid of the things that most people feared. Even when the illusion of Aichy being killed appeared in front of him, he did not hesitate at all because he knew that if Aichy was really killed, he would never accept it. Instead, he would look for a way to resurrect her in this world.
If the mortals couldn't do it, he would look for the demigods. If the demigods couldn't do it, he would look for the giant gods. If even the gods of Giant God Peak couldn't do it, then he would look for the Dragon King who created the stars. He would not stop. After all, it was a miracle that he came here. The magic and all life here were miracles to him. It was also a miracle that he could survive and continue to measure the land of this world with his feet. So it was very 'normal' for him to pursue more miracles.
Although death couldn't make people feel fear, and they had experienced hell, they still believed that there were countless fears and hopes in this world. It wasn't impossible for them to fall into the fear that Federtic created. But that would take time, a long time. Just like Yatoku and the others in the past, although they were eroded by the Void and their temperaments became strange, it took them countless years to truly transform from Celestial Warriors to Dark Ones. Moreover, it was only after the collapse of the dynasty that they served that they began to transform into Dark Ones.
"Whether you don't want me to escape or there are new victims that you don't want me to get close to, as long as you don't want me to do it, I will do it!"
When the tree in front of him collapsed abruptly and the cheering scarecrows appeared before him one after another, Li Ke saw some sets of armor that were emitting gray mist and collapsed on the ground. And as he stepped forward again, the cheering scarecrows also rushed toward him while murmuring something that he couldn't hear clearly.
But Li Ke only chuckled in response. While pulling the chain in his hand, he told the scarecrows his thoughts.
"You can't do it at all. You have a physical body and can make me attack you. But you can't make me feel fear!"
As soon as his voice sounded, the scarecrows were also blown up by his flaming chain and turned into torches.
