【System Notification: Host Rune Fragment exhausted!】
【System Notification: Rune Armor has been automatically generated!】
……
“Bang!”
The moment Garen grasped the Stormblade, the ice layer within the palace instantly shattered and floated away!
“Bang!” In an instant, massive chunks of ice exploded, turning into glimmering fragments the size of fingernails. “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”… With a series of loud crashes, these ice blocks shattered repeatedly, ultimately transforming into fine particles that vanished with a gust of wind.
“Wow!” The palace, frozen for ten years, collapsed into a sea of yellow sand, desolate as a wasteland.
“It’s impossible! Impossible! You…”
Tastandin stared with wide, incredulous eyes, too frightened to speak. His first instinct was to turn and flee.
As a servant of Eternity, Tastandin understood all too well what state Garen was in while encased in ice. It could be said that even the legendary powerhouses of Godeas would find it difficult to break free from such a condition… More importantly, this was Lost Land, where Garen’s powers were suppressed!
Suppressed powers, entanglement by Sin, and being frozen… Any one of these would be lethal, yet all three were currently afflicting Garen, and he still managed to emerge!
How on earth did he accomplish that?!
However, before Tastandin could escape very far, a flash of red and white aurora flickered, and suddenly Garen appeared right in front of him, the sharp and massive greatsword pointed directly at Tastandin’s throat!
Tastandin immediately halted, beads of sweat forming on his forehead: “Perhaps there’s been… some misunderstanding between us.”
A chill swept through the tip of the sword, causing Tastandin's heart to plummet. From Garen, he sensed a chilling and direct killing intent that made him tense up.
It felt like he was back on Starsea Island, witnessing Garen's astonishing performances time and again, the overwhelming power that left everyone in shock. Tastandin increasingly felt that his actions were utterly ridiculous.
With a swift motion, the sword pierced forward, drawing a line of blood in an instant! Clearly, Garen had no intention of wasting words; he launched his attack directly.
Tastandin's pupils constricted as he stumbled backward, narrowly avoiding the deadly strike, but his throat was still pierced, spilling a large amount of blood…
The sound of red and white iron boots striking the ground echoed sharply, ringing in Tastandin's ears like the breath of death, causing his heart to race once more…
He finally realized.
This warrior had no intention of letting him go.
From the moment the ice shattered, Garen had set his mind on killing!
“Wait!” After years in Immortal City, Tastandin finally tasted fear again. He hurriedly said, “I can tell you Han Yun's whereabouts!”
Garen's footsteps finally paused.
Tastandin seized this detail and exclaimed with joy, “I know you've been searching for him. Your purpose in coming here was to save him. Trust me, I can help you find him! But in Immortal City, only I know where he is, so you can't kill me!”
“Isn't he dead?” Garen replied calmly. Perhaps due to ten years of being frozen, his voice sounded hoarse.
Though it was just a brief sentence, compared to Garen's earlier murderous intent, it was enough for Tastandin to breathe a sigh of relief.
“No, he isn't dead,” Tastandin said gravely. “The people here only know that I took him to the desert and that I was the only one who returned… but they have no idea what happened that day. In any case, I can assure you with certainty that your student is still alive!”
Tastandin was indeed a person who had lived for a long time. At such a critical moment, he revealed secrets while still hiding half of the truth. Yes, he never mentioned where Han Yun was, which was equivalent to telling Garen that in this world, only he could help find him. Therefore, I cannot die! You cannot kill me!
"Well, you didn't disappoint me," Garen nodded slightly and then instantly appeared behind Tastandin, delivering a powerful kick!
"Bang!"
Tastandin crashed into the nearby wall, breaking through the walls of two palaces. In an instant, the entire Temple was engulfed in a cloud of dust, as if the very earth trembled!
Deep within the ruins, before Tastandin could rise, Garen was already in front of him. Panic flashed in his eyes as he hurriedly drew Freezing Command, unleashing a wave of frost toward him!
"Clang!"
The handle of Garen's sword twisted, instantly snapping Freezing Command in half. Then, with a sudden stomp of his red and white boots on Tastandin's chest, there was a loud crash as Tastandin sank half a meter into the ground, leaving behind a web of jagged cracks.
What seemed like a complex series of events actually unfolded in an instant. The counterattacks from Tastandin were nothing more than child's play to Garen, who found them utterly ineffective... A heart-wrenching scream echoed throughout the palace!
Tastandin trembled all over, blood pouring from his mouth... Garen's kick had nearly shattered his ribcage and damaged some internal organs. But that wasn’t even the worst part; what tormented him more was the shattering of Freezing Command.
This weapon, intertwined with his soul, felt like part of Tastandin himself. The breakage of Freezing Command meant that his soul had suffered an irreversible and severe injury!
Looking at Garen, Tastandin’s eyes were filled with not just deep resentment but also fear... He finally understood that it wasn't that Garen didn’t want to find Han Yun, but rather that for Garen, his student should possess the ability to survive.
Otherwise, as his mentor, he would be disappointed.
As for Tastandin’s life or death... it seemed that Garen didn’t care much at all. To him, whether or not he killed Tastandin was irrelevant; he had never harbored much hatred towards him—he simply wanted to vent his frustrations.
So...
If he wanted to kill...
"Then kill me."
"What other reason is needed?"
Five years ago in the Temple, Tastandin had said the same thing to Master Yi. But at this moment, he was personally experiencing the feeling of life and death being controlled by others... which made his heart grow colder.
It was as if after donning this mysterious armor, Garen had completely transformed into another person...
In reality, Garen had not changed at all. Throughout these frozen ten years, the armor was merely a special battle suit crafted by the System that fused those Rune Fragments, enhancing his combat power at most.
However, Tastandin's feelings were not entirely wrong; this Rune Armor indeed highlighted Garen's unique aura.
After all, how could a leader without armor command the entire Fearless Vanguard Legion?
Calm, strong, unyielding, Fearless... It was as if standing before Tastandin was an unshakeable, raging volcano, towering and imposing, ready to erupt with molten lava at any moment.
"This is what you forced me to do..."
Suddenly! Tastandin's figure transformed into a mass of black mist and reappeared several dozen meters away. He was covered in wounds, his expression fluctuating between dark and light, as if he had made some significant decision.
"Eternity... Eternity!" Tastandin roared fiercely, his muscles instantly sagging as if half of his vitality had been drained away. He appeared utterly haggard in an instant.
At the same time, an invisible force descended!
Bang! Bang! Bang! As this force fell, Garen's Heart began to beat violently, reminiscent of the Sinful Burden from ten years ago. Back then, Garen could not grasp it; he could only feel that this power came from within himself. But now, utilizing the Rune Armor, Garen could clearly see that the source of this special power was actually coming from above...
From an extremely distant space.
Hiss!
A burst of Flame climbed up his shoulder.
But in the next moment, that invisible force froze!
Garen's expression remained calm as he suddenly slashed Stormblade upward. With a deafening roar, a thunderous explosion echoed through the sky, unleashing a raging hurricane!
With just one strike, the sky cleared.
That black flame vanished in an instant, no longer existing.
In fact, merely crafting the Rune Armor was not enough to help Garen break free from the ice. After all, Garen had been burdened by Sinful Burden, making it difficult for him to muster any extra energy. What truly allowed Garen to escape the ice was Stormblade.
More accurately, it was the awakened Stormblade.
It was not hard to guess that this must be the gift bestowed upon Garen by Berfant.
The broad Silver Greatsword exuded a dangerous aura like a wild beast, and one could hear the chilling sound of the storm slicing through the air, reminiscent of thousands of troops charging into battle, countless warriors beating their drums!
Garen turned his gaze back to Tastandin and lazily swung his sword.
