Reincarnation Paradise: There are vests everywhere

Chapter 2308 Holiness
Runeland is one of the few places that gives people the same impression as the void. The former Blessed Isles are now called the Shadow Isles. This land was once a beautiful island, but it was completely changed by the devastating blow of a magical disaster.

Fukumitsu Island was once full of gardens, libraries, schools, and lecture halls. There was no army here, as the white fog surrounding the island would make blind travelers lose their way.

More than a thousand years ago, an unprecedented magical disaster tore through the barrier between the material and spiritual realms, causing the two to merge and destroying all life in an instant.

Now, the island is surrounded by a black mist, and the land itself is tainted and corrupted by evil magic. If any living creature comes to the island, its vitality will gradually fade away, and then it will attract the insatiable and predatory undead.

The souls that died in the Black Mist will be cursed to live forever in this land full of sorrow. What's more terrifying is that the power of the Shadow Isles is getting stronger every year, and the undead souls are expanding their scope of invasion, harvesting the hopes and souls of the living throughout the Rune Land.

After completing some pre-tasks, a petite figure with bandages wrapped around her body landed on this dangerous island. Before landing, I saw fishermen from some small islands nearby. They thought that the fog would not affect the area during the day, so they were still fishing in the sea without knowing it, but they didn't know that the sea was full of dangers.

Romi did not have the kindness to remind them, but walked into the ghost fog that covered the sea in front of him. This was a mixture of ghosts from one small island after another. It can be seen that this group of foggy ghosts is composed of countless individual souls.

An army once perished here, and then the spirits of the chariot soldiers combined with the spirits of sharks in the sea to form a special hybrid spirit, the shark chariot. However, unlike other spirits, the shark chariot can sneak in the sea without having to follow the movement of black fog.

There are also some evil spirits that transform themselves into various animals to become nightmares for the living. In this ghost fog, a butcher stands out, or more precisely, a ghost butcher with a pig's head and a human body.

It has a tall body, with a ferocious head like a wild boar, eyes that flash with faint blue light, like two cold stars in the abyss, a cruel smile on the corners of its mouth, and sharp, yellowish fangs that drip with strange mucus from time to time.

The body is covered with rough gray skin, covered with traces of time and scars left by battle. Under the skin, the muscles are as hard as steel, and each muscle shows its extraordinary strength. The limbs are thick, and the fingertips have sharp black claws, which can tear the prey apart in an instant, leaving shocking wounds.

This guy moved with heavy and powerful steps, and every step seemed to step on the heartstrings of the prey, causing waves of tremors. He held a huge butcher knife, the blade was covered with dried blood and stains, and the air was filled with a suffocating smell of blood.

It was wearing a ragged leather apron, which was covered with dried blood and stains, as if it had just walked out of a slaughterhouse. Romi saw through the essence of this ghost at a glance. He was a butcher in his lifetime. After being swallowed by the black fog, his soul was twisted. When he was reshaped into an evil spirit by witchcraft, he was transformed into a pig-man butcher because of the food he ate.

Romi walked in the ghost fog, not paying attention to these ghosts at all. In her eyes, these were all very low-level spirits. Low-level spirits were those that had lost consciousness, and only part of their thoughts remained in their consciousness to make them move. Under normal circumstances, they were just walking corpses. She looked down on these "garbage" at all.

The low-level spirits of the Shadow Isles even have huge restrictions on their outdoor activities. If they are weak, they can only appear during the Haunting Night and cannot be seen at other times.

As a professional undead contractor, Romi is fully capable of training these spirits into stronger undead, but the input of resources and the benefits are not proportional, and the potential of these low-level spirits is too low.

She came to Shadow Island to perform a mission. On the one hand, her main quest required her to come here. On the other hand, Shadow Island, a place full of undead, was naturally very suitable for her. It was just right for her to find two undead contracts with great potential and train them in Paradise. These cannon fodder undead did not meet the requirements at all. They did not need to be heroes in the game, but they had to have names.

The Kingdom of Kamavia, which was Viego's former kingdom, and the fundamental reason why the Blessed Islands became the Shadow Islands were the destructive magic disasters formed after the interaction between the spiritual magic "Soul Fusion Curse" attached to the holy sword "Holiness" of the Kingdom of Kamavia and the Fountain of Life of the Blessed Islands, also known as the "Curse of Ruin".

The Holy Sword of the Kingdom of Kamavia is the final goal of Romi's main quest. This holy sword is summoned in the Hall of Ancestors, a unique soul realm similar to Valhalla where the royal family of Kamavia goes after death.

Then, the nature of this "holy" sword is obvious. It is undoubtedly a weapon forged in the soul realm and condensed from soul energy.

In the background story, the special effect of the holy sword "Holiness" is not aimed at the body, but at the soul, that is, it has the characteristic of absorbing or even taking in the soul.

The Soul Fusion Curse in Curse of Ruin comes from the energy weapon, Holiness, so the core characteristic of Holiness is "Soul Fusion", which simply means binding the soul.

After passing the "holiness" trial, Viego became the holder of "holiness", and his soul was bound to holiness, which allowed him to summon "holiness" from the soul realm to kill the enemy at any time, and by killing the enemy and absorbing the enemy's soul, he could continuously enhance the "holiness", which was the positive effect of "soul fusion".

As for those killed by Viego with "holiness", their souls will be permanently bound to "holiness" after being absorbed. Unless the holder of "holiness" dies, they will never be freed. This is the evil effect of "soul fusion".

After "Holiness" pierced Viego's body, the effect of "Soul Fusion" occurred unprecedentedly on its holder. Viego's soul and vitality were absorbed and bound by "Holiness".

Originally, Viego's death would have finally freed him from this bondage, but because they were in the Fountain of Life, the Fountain of Life's vitality-giving properties brought Viego back from the brink of death.

This is what the original text of the story background says: "The sword and water destroyed and restored him in an endless cycle of pain."

If the Fountain of Life on the Blessed Island only contained water with the power of resurrection, then Viego would probably just cycle through life and death. However, the Fountain of Life contained something incredible: the Rune. The core of the Rune War, the terrifying thing that almost destroyed the Rune Land, possessed extremely powerful and unstable energy.

The holy mist that had guarded Blessed Island for thousands of years unexpectedly mutated after its source, the Fountain of Life, underwent a drastic change, and became the black fog that most people in Runeterra are now familiar with and feared.

When Romi stepped into Shadow Island, she could see that the black fog here was not that simple. However, her purpose was not to study the black fog. If she wanted to get the holy sword of Holiness, she had to get rid of Viego who was attached to Holiness, which meant that she had to become an enemy of Shadow Island. For Shadow Island, Romi was an uninvited guest.

It takes more than an hour to ride a bicycle to the destination, and another hour to go home after dinner. As a result, the chain of the bicycle fell off on the way, and it happened twice. Fortunately, I could install the chain by myself, otherwise it would be a headache.

I got home at almost nine in the evening, and my hands and feet were sore. I was planning to take a leave, but I'll just write two chapters. The strengthening "props" of Shu Que were originally written at the end, but I'll bring it up to the front to talk about it.
