Chapter 207 Awakening, the Clockwork Spirit without a Spring
Marit didn't take Orianna's dying struggle seriously at all.
Although Riven sympathized with her, she would not condone the girl's rebellion against Noxus. She just stood aside quietly, waiting for Orianna to finish her temper, accept her fate, and then go back with her obediently.
Marit watched coldly, Riven waited with her hands folded, and the soldiers pounced on their prey like wolves and tigers.
But the next second, a strong wind suddenly blew up!
"call--"
Orianna seemed to have turned into a wind spirit.
The air currents rushed, circled, and swirled around her at high speed, like a tornado that could destroy everything in its path, and like an indestructible shield.
"What, what?" Crete was caught off guard and hit the air flow.
His eyes widened in disbelief.
But his body, along with several of his comrades, had already risen uncontrollably into the air in the strong wind, spun rapidly around Orianna for several circles, and finally shot out in all directions at a high speed like an accelerated hammer.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
There were several loud noises in succession.
Some of the soldiers were embedded in the floor, some crashed through the wall, and some fell out of the window. They rolled helplessly to the feet of the "audience" outside the store amidst the broken glass.
"This is..." Orianna looked at her hands in disbelief.
And there was the airflow that she could control freely, just like her own arms and fingers.
"Mage?!" Everyone was shocked.
Marit reacted the fastest and acted the most decisively.
The moment her fellow soldiers were blown away by the storm, she almost instinctively drew the long sword at her waist.
Then, his figure flashed like lightning and he chopped at Orianna's .
Wherever the sword pointed, even the strong wind was driven away.
"Orianna!" Mr. Colin fell into despair again before he could react to his daughter's sudden divine power .
Marit's sword was so fast that it was beyond the imagination of a small citizen of Piltover.
It turns out that the difference in power between people can really be so huge. They don't even seem to be the same species.
The sharp blade had split the storm and slashed a cold light towards Orianna.
"No!" Mr. Colin closed his eyes reluctantly. He didn't dare to watch the next scene.
Orianna was also a little flustered.
She could almost feel the invisible sword energy breaking through the air, so much so that even her delicate face felt a phantom pain out of nowhere.
"Am I going to die?" Fear flashed through my mind.
But it disappeared again.
What is there to be afraid of? Wasn't she already prepared to die?
Even if she died, she would let the Noxians know that she was not a slave. She...
"I won't give in!"
Orianna didn't know how to use magic, and this was her first time controlling the wind. She just instinctively raised her hand to face Marit's sword, pouring out the anger in her heart.
Marit was unmoved.
Orianna's clumsy and slow casting movements, reflected in her ruthless yet calm eyes, looked ridiculous, like an ant waving its front claws at a falling human boot.
But: "Shockwave!"
At the critical moment, a powerful magical power instinctively poured out of Orianna's body.
It was an invisible shock wave.
The shock wave gushed out from Orianna's body in all directions, like a deadly whirlpool suddenly appearing on the sea.
Marit's body froze, the tip of her sword paused, and she was caught off guard and swept into the vortex-like shock wave.
The powerful magic wave violently hit her body, causing her to spin uncontrollably and be pulled closer to Orianna with a low moan of pain.
Then Orianna instinctively swung out a gust of wind, pushing the out-of-control Marit heavily out.
boom--
"General Marit!"
Crete, who had just staggered out of the pit, was even more shocked to see that the powerful General Marit had also crashed into the ground like a soldier, leaving a human-shaped dent.
"This is..." Orianna looked at her hands in disbelief.
She could feel that she not only had the divine power bestowed by the goddess, but also accidentally awakened another magical power at the critical moment of life and death.
That swirling shock wave was not Janna's magic, but her talent.
she……
"You should be a newly awakened mage." Riven sighed softly.
She noticed Orianna's awkward and curious behavior before and after she cast a spell, which was a sign of a novice mage.
So Riven was no longer silent.
"Orianna." She looked at Orianna with a helpless look in her eyes: "You... really shouldn't have awakened at this time."
If Orianna was just a mortal who posed no threat, Riven could still save her life by taking her as a slave. It would also be possible to quietly set her free when the storm had passed.
But she happened to have a mortal enemy with Noxus, and showed such amazing talent when she awakened.
Although Marit went out today without riding a magic bird, nor bringing her halberd, her combat effectiveness was greatly reduced compared to usual.
But no matter what, she is the deputy commander of the Rune Swordsman Legion, the elite among the elite.
Orianna could even repel Marit. This was no longer just an ordinary citizen, but a potential threat to the empire.
There is no time to hesitate, we must strike hard.
"Sigh..." Riven looked at Orianna with some reluctance.
The hostile mage was right in front of her, and as a hero of Noxus, it would be absolutely unreasonable for her not to take action.
With so many eyes watching, there was no way she would let him win.
Therefore, the moment Orianna displayed her magic, her fate was already sealed.
"I'm sorry." Riven took off the black stone rune giant sword that she never left behind.
As he picked up the hilt of the sword, the runes on the sword began to emit a light green light.
The powerful rune power was almost visibly filling and surging on Riven's Blackrock Greatsword.
At this time, Marit also climbed out of the pit with a gloomy face.
The minor injuries caused by the magic shock not only did not affect her fighting ability, but instead aroused her ferocity.
Although she was holding only an ordinary long sword, the murderous aura in her eyes seemed to lower the temperature of the workshop a little.
"Dad!" Orianna reacted in time.
She immediately blew up a strong wind, wanting to take her father into the sky, escape from this desperate place, and flee to the other side of the canal.
But……
"Wind Slash!" Riven just moved her wrist slightly, and swung the rune sword as wide as a door panel with ease, slashing out a sword wave filled with rune power that broke through the air.
The sword wave almost grazed Orianna and Mr. Colin's heads, and flew dangerously diagonally into the sky.
The walls, roofs, and electric poles that were swept by the sword were all split in half smoothly .
Unexpectedly, the sword wave continued to move forward, flying hundreds of meters into the sky, annihilating a few unlucky seagulls and cutting through a low-lying dark cloud before finally dying down and dissipating in the sky.
“Please don’t run away.” Riven said sincerely, “Don’t force me to use this move. My next strike will not miss again.”
Those who were killed by her sword energy died in extremely tragic ways.
She didn't want to see this innocent girl turned into a pile of body parts and flesh like the enemies she met on the battlefield.
So, this is Riven's last act of tenderness: "You should commit suicide, Orianna."
"After you die, I will try my best to save your father's life."
Orianna: “…”
She glanced at her father.
Mr. Colin, who was usually timid and content with the status quo, clenched his fists in silence.
"Orianna, leave me alone!"
"Fight them! Fight!" Mr. Colin threw away his broken gold-rimmed glasses and shouted fiercely and angrily, "Dad was wrong before. I bound you."
"Now...just go ahead and do what you want, Orianna!"
"Yes." Orianna nodded heavily.
Divine power surged in her body and a strong wind swirled around her.
She instinctively reached out her hand again and summoned a row of dolls from the shelves in the workshop. There were seven of them in total.
These are actually mechanical puppets equipped with artificial hextech gems. They were invented by his father and are mass-produced and sold as luxury toys.
But Orianna discovered that since she awakened her magic power, she seemed to be able to resonate with the magic of the hextech gems in those puppets.
She can even use the magic of Hextech gems to control these puppets remotely.
"It's useless." Riven glanced at Orianna's army of puppets and said reluctantly: "You will only make your death more painful."
Marit was even more dismissive. Her eyes were so cold that it was as if she was looking at a dead person.
But there was no fluctuation on Orianna's face.
She controlled the wind, rode the puppet, and hung in the air without retreating:
"At least, I'm dying standing up now."
