Cheap blessing.

After hearing Hyuna words Renzo froze on the spot.

Yeah, he understood her words, the blessing seemed to work.

"...you're still unable to understand me...?" he asked her with a grim tone, a shadow covering his face.

Hyuna looked at him strangely. And It seems that everyone too.

The only one who seemed to be somewhat able to tell what he said was Karya.

"Yes, they're unable to understand your words, even I have a hard time understanding you. But it seems like you understand us now, isn't it?" She asked as she noticed how he seemed to pay more attention to them.

'The retarded started to speak well!' It seemed like the blessing was really potent.

Sadly, it was a cheap blessing.

'What is the point if they can't still understand a thing of what I said!?' A knot formed on his throat.

Even if he was still able to somehow cope with everything around him, it was really frustrating to understand other people and others be unable to understand you.

Still, he took a deep breath and calmed himself. At least he could now understand these guys. That was enough.

What's more important is what he could do right now.

He was in LoLWorld, sorry, he didn't remember the exact name of the planet.

'Really, how can I remember shitty stuffs like the numbers from the national lottery and not the freaking name that the planet of my most played game.' He rant to himself.

It's not that he was stupid... maybe a bit, but the problem here was his thrashy memory.

"Karya, I understand you all now, you can speak to me in Ionian if you want. Sadly I'm still stuck without being able to speak correctly myself." With a dejected tone and slow pace, he said to the only person that seemed to be able to guess what he say.

Karya, after a few seconds seemed to be able to understand. She approached him and pat on his shoulder. "I'm really sorry for you, don't worry, I'll try myself to see if I can understand you a little bit more and help you with it" A sympathetic look could be see on her face while she said this to him.

Renzo nodded at her as he thanked her. Seeing that he was able to understand what Karya said in Ionian, Shun Ti and Zan quickly approached her and couldn't help but ask.

"Is he able to understand us now? What did happened?"

"Is he alright? Do you have any idea of what language he talk?"

"Hold on, hold on, don't be hasty. I think that now we can talk more easily things as Renzo here is now able to understand us." She nodded her head.

She then looked over Shun Ti and answered him "He seemed to talk a dialect from Piltover, I can't really tell from where though, since is much different than the one used in the academy." She quickly took a glance at Renzo who simply shook his head.

"What is it, don't you speak Piltovian?" She asked, from which Renzo answered "It doesn't matter."

Karya looked deeply at him and then simply nodded.

"Ehm, mind telling us what happened right now?" Kirae couldn't help but ask, not only a strange phenomena happened in front of them, no one outside their group was able to tell the whole thing.

No one even stopped or glanced over, they just saw Renzo begging, or praying, a sight that was very common in the whole village currently.

Karya glanced over Renzo, who although unwilling decided to do what he said to Janna. At the end of the day, he did understand what these people were telling him.

Taking a quick look at Kerya, he sighed deeply and talked slowly.

"I recovered a few memories when you mentioned Piltover, that's why I asked about the various regions nations, I wanted to make sure." Speaking until this point, he let Kerya digest his words and tell them.

Many opened their eyes, as they didn't expected that he seemingly lost his memories. Renzo would have followed their reaction too if It weren't to because he was bullshiting right now.

"So, I remembered a deity, a forgotten one that was since the beginning and even here in Ionia they thrown her statues and temples. It was said that she would help to anyone in need and believed deeply from their hearts. So I asked her for something simple, to be able to understand once again." Letting Karya understand him, she conveyed his bullshit.

"In exchange for blessing me, I promised to once again enact statues and preach her greatness once again, so she could return from the dark in Ionia." At this point Karya was having a hard time conveying his words, not for the difficulty, but for the truth behind the phenomena.

They just witnessed a divine being, blessing their new teammate.

Although they grew up hearing stories from the Spirit of Ionia and the living reincarnation of Karma. It was something different seeing a god blessing fellow in front of them.

After everyone hearing his words from Karya's mouth, they were having a hard time believing that.

Even if they just witnessed.

Shun Ti, unable to comprehend decided to just focus right now in what they would do for tomorrow's patrol.

"Ok, now please everyone give me you're attention." He clapped his hands, effectively taking everyone attention.

"I know that what we just is an unbelievable miracle. But please, let's put our minds into tomorrow's patrol since this could be your last night in Ionia if we don't plan this carefully and at least practice once with both of them." His stern and powerful could be heard clearly amidst the sounds around the agitated village.

"Oh! it was Zan his name, I forgot already about it..." Muttered Ye under his breath.

Zan's brow twitched after hearing his words.

'Oooh so that's what they were talking about. And it seemed that we already have work to do, crap!' Renzo cursed.

"So, please, grab whatever you may need and follow me towards the south gate, Renzo is said to have quite the strength. He seemed to be the reason of this morning vibration and sounds." Shun Ti revealed information about Renzo to the team and then went to grab a few things from his tent.

The others, took glances at Renzo, some heard the rumors from the people nearby when he tested in front of Kae.

Still, they followed their boss order and grabbed whatever they needed.

Renzo did the same and went to grab the bag with the devil fruits.

Now more than ever he would save these fruits with his life.

It sounded silly but if hes not wrong, something really bad happened with a dimension here and creatures like Cho'gath, Rek'Sai, Mal'zahar and Kha'zix were roaming around.

At such, having people that he could trust those fruits, would force them to eradicate those cockroaches. Especially Rek'Sai. It wasn't anything to do with having a feud against Rek'Sai mains... no, how could he?

While grabbing the bag he remembered something from the videos of Ryze.

Those things were Antimagic.

He stopped on his feet.

'That's really bad news.' He thought to himself. And indeed it was.

Although he wasn't that well versed in the lore. He didn't knew if the devil fruits would be effective against them.

'Still, if that were the case, luckily I have the tremor fruit, I could simply create freaking earthquakes and sunk them.' He reassured to himself.

Still, there wasn't any need to think about such things, who knows, he may die tomorrow and he'll never had to face such things.

Quickly assembling once again near Shun Ti who was in the middle. They followed behind him when he set off.

Renzo walked with Zan on one side and Karya on the other.

"Tell him that I'm charge of taking care of him, Kae, the guy who tested you and travelled with us, asked me for it, so I hope it doesn't bother you." Said Zan to Karya while glaring at me.

"He can understand what you say, you idiot, it's only him the one with problems to talk to us." Karya chuckled as Zan Zhei face went red from embarrassment.

Renzo chuckled as he said "Tell him that I've got not problem, if im alive right now it's for him."

Nodding to him, Keyra conveyed his words to Zan who slightly smiled and nodded at him.

As they passed by, Renzo didn't waste time and inquire further about the situation and the place they were currently in.

It was inevitable to see the amount of people laying on the floor grasping their wounds while many others were moving around. It was a complete chaos.

"Well, currently we are in the Brotherhood of Navori Head quarters in this region, and yes, we're part from it now, this includes you. This village was previously called Tsume Village. However since the Noxians started moving deeper into our lands, more and more Ionians reached here. As for why the noxians didn't attacked here. It's due to the amount of preemptive attacks that we launched even before they marched towards this place." The last part she said proudly.

She then continue.

"You see, a few brothers and sisters from the Kinkou Order started attacking their supply lines and vital agents. Thus making harder for them to conquest these lands. Sadly, we couldn't stop the other battalions from moving towards the Placidum of Navori's. As we speak right now, they are on their way over there." At this point, everyone that was hearing her started to grip tightly their hands or weapons.

The Placidum of Navori's was the sacrest place in the entire Ionia. In that place, hundreds of schools, masters, and sages imparted for ages their knowledge and contributed to maintain the peace for hundreds of years the continent.

The Placidum of Navori's was the pride of the Ionians, it was their backbone and pillar, alongside Karma.

Now, the Noxians were killing their way over there, intending to conquer one of the most preciated things for the Ionians.

'I'm really lost at the amount of lore, but the situation seemed pretty bad. Isn't the Noxian invasion what happened in the awaken video? Oh there was Irelia, Karma, Akali, Kennen and yasuo there!' Renzo thought to himself as he remembered.

'Oh shit, there was Sion too, how the fuck I supposed to stop that thing?' He briefly panicked, until he remembered that, you know, he's the tremor human.

"Isn't the Shadow Order working right now to stop them?" Renzo asked, he remembered that Zed created an order to defend Ionia, so he supposed that he wouldn't let the Noxians attack such important place.

However Karya looked a him strangely as she asked "Shadow Order? There's no such a thing as much as I'm aware off." She answered at him.

Hearing her words, Renzo's head stopped working for a second until he reached two conclusions.

'This is the past, or is an alternative universe from what I remember.' Either way, he was fucked.

He tried to remember, to remember any date, or info that could help him place himself in the Temporal line, however, he was unable to remember a thing.

With a sigh, he decided to ask a few things to see if the girl could provide him with more information.

"Where's Irelia? Isn't she the pillar of Ionia alongside Karma?" He asked.

Karya once again looked at him strangely as she answered "I haven't heard of anyone called Irelia, however lady Karma is said to have fought back the Noxians that attacked. Is due to such news that many Ionians started to take their arms and start defending our lands. Still, I fear that is a little bit too late now. As it has been already two years since they started their attack." With a hint of pain, Karya explained to him.

Now however something seemed to itch into Renzo's head.

Something about Irelia.

He remembered that she made herself famous in Ionia in somewhere. However it seemed that such a thing didn't happened here, or haven't yet.

Although his head couldn't calm such itch, it did brought him an idea.

"Do you know any information regarding Demacia?" Hearing him asking about such faraway place, Karya at first felt strange, still, since he seemed to be confused, so she decided to answer him.

"I fear that I haven't heard any important news regarding Demacia for a long time."

Hearing her he nodded, still he asked one silly but vital question.

"Who's the current king of Demacia?"

Karya, hearing such a simple question answered without any doubt "Since a long time ago the King of Demacia has been Jarvan III."

BOOM.

Hearing her answer, he at least knew something very important. The events that were told in the Lux comics haven't happened yet.

'So I'm in the past, but exactly how many years prior the current story I was aware off?' He couldn't help but ask himself. Cursing for not paying more attention to the rich lore of the game.

'Wait..' He suddenly remembered something, more exactly from the lore of Yasuo and Yone.

'Didn't Yasuo was exiled due to leaving his duty and going towards a battlefield that ended because of a terrible ChemBomb, and Yasuo's master was killed during his absence after Riven's sword exploded or something?' Remembering this he finally though that maybe he could find himself in the timeline.

'I'm currently during those events! Or am I a little before it? Shit, I can't really fuck up here' He was on a tight spot still.

To begin with, he didn't knew anything about what happened during said war, apart from the fragment of lore from Yasuo.

Still, he decided to try his luck.

"Karya, is there around any renowned sword school that have a legendary wind technique?" Trying to formulate well his question, he held his heart while waiting the answer from Keyra.

She seemed to thought deeply, however she shook her head.

"Sorry little friend, I am not that well informed."

She then half closed her eyes as she pointed with her head towards the front " Maybe Captain Shun Ti could know, since he's an apprentice from a renowned Fire Style sword school."

At first he felt his heart sank deeply however, after hearing her, he couldn't contain his anxiety and quickly asked her to ask him.

Karya laughed at his expression while questioned to Shun Ti who was a little bit forward.

"Renowned sword school that contain a legendary wind technique?" He repeated her words

He then went silent for a second as he said with a little bit of despise in his voice.

"Yes, theres such a school. Its a little bit far away from here since you need to travel at least few days towards the west. I heard there's a couple of elders that know such technique." Hearing him, Renzo had something to look after. If he went there, he could confirm wether the master of Yasuo was still alive or not.

"Why are you curious though? Do you happen to know someone there?" Shun Ti couldn't contain his curiosity and asked.

Renzo simply shook his head. Seeing this, Shun Ti half closed his eyes and said "There's no need to lie if you don't want to answer me." Then he harrumphed and keep walking, not bothering anymore.

Karya approached once again at Renzo and whispered to him "You know, many schools compete with each other fiercely for the renown and honor of their techniques, him belonging to one and asking about another one school, is akin like going to a blacksmith to ask for another one." She chimed to him while making a serious expression towards him.

Not bothering anymore he decident to remain silent as they quickly passed through the gates and makeshift walls.

Quickly lighting up some torches and lanterns they made their way to a nearby forest in a good distance from the village walls, Shun Ti finally decided to stop.

Quickly forming two lines like they were accustomed, the group waited for their boss word.

"Well, this is a good place, to begin with, I want both Renzo and Zan make their way here and show us what you're capable off." Shun Ti said loudly as he glanced over the two.

As they passed front, Zan decided to be the first one.

Getting in position, he created a golden colored shield around Renzo, later on, he grabbed a random branch far away and throw it towards a tree.

Shun Ti nodded as he expected this, it wasn't anything crazy but was useful in battle, just the shield alone was enough to save someone's life in crucial moments.

"That's good enough, thank you Zan" Nodding towards him, Zan quickly make way and let Renzo at the front.

Seeing the people looking at him he said out loud for Karya to speak for him.

"Tell them that I've just got my ability, there's still a lot of room to work with, and have them know that if they got something useful to strengthen ones body, it would be really useful for me." With that said, and letting Karya with the work of saying that, he quickly started channeled the vibrations around his body.

Feeling the now familiar feeling, he moved the epicenter towards the side of his palm, he decided to copy Whitebeard signature side punch.

*PEUWGH* *BRRRRNNN*

*CRACK*

However this time, Renzo's hair raised in fright while his eyes widened open.

Noticing the strange behavior, Shun Ti asked " What happened?"

Renzo just gulped down and said with a clearly frightened tone that was hard for Karya to understand.

"I-I-I've just spend a-a little bit more of strength in that punch...-" They couldn't ask what does he mean by that, as he Renzo couldn't hold anymore the epicenter.

Quickly running a little bit away from the place, he watched with a grim expression the result of not being able to control his strength while using such dangerous power.

The air literally cracked in spider webs as if the air itself was some kind of glass. A frightening *CRACK* sound could be heart as the birds from the forest behind started to jolt awake and fly away from the the sudden danger.

Just to two seconds later, the whole terrain starting to shake tremendously.

*BROOOOM* *CRASH*

Everyone's faced paled as the blood drained from their faces.

"T-this power..." Shun Ti stuttered.

"Look, the earth is cracking open!" A random from the group exclaimed as he pointed towards a place where the large spiderweb cracks started to spread.

And it was then that a powerful tremor and earthquake make them fall to the ground.

In just a second they saw how the whole previous pristine forest was destroyed under the immense might of the tremor!

Some parts of the terrain elevated a few meters up, while large pieces of earth crumble under the immense strength and vibrations.

The whole terrain in front of the punch epicenter, in an area of three hundred meters crumbled down!

Further away from main destruction area, the terrain was also greatly affected.

With just a punch, a catastrophe fell over this plot of forest in a single moment.

Shun Ti, Kirae, Hyuna, Karya, Tahru, Ye and the rest watched in horror the truth behind Kae words.

Even Zan was horrible surprised by the outcome of Renzo unrestrained attack!

'This is terrifying, I am not even that strong nor do I have a mediocre level of mastery over it and I can do such amount of damage!?' Many would have been happy in Renzo's place, however one needed to think further into the matter.

The danger behind his power was immense, and what's worse, such power would only get stronger as long as he slowly got accustomed and started not only mastering it, but also himself getting stronger.

He won't be able to properly fight against an enemy If he didn't happen to be in a battlefield or something among those lines.

The amount of restraint he has to put himself until he correctly could use his strength a power... He didn't even wanted to think about it.

'Theres no way I'm going to nerf myself in such a way, White beard no only let Ace die, but also doomed his entire tripulation due to that.' He thought to himself.

Still, what was the terrifying were two things. The first one, he was able to thrown various of such punchs consecutively...

Second and probably worst, he noticed. The more he left the quake and tremor run amok, the stronger and destructive it goes.

"W-well, ask the captain if he has any idea of how to implement this for tomorrow, hehe" Renzo asked with a nervous smile to Karya, who after watching dumbfounded and with a worry expression on her face, asked Shun Ti.

Shun Ti who glanced at the destruction and hear her words, simply gulped down and put a determinated expression on his face.

"You're going to spend the whole night practicing, and by tomorrow morning, you'll be our arrow against the enemy!" There was a firm conviction on his voice right now.

Not only he saw something terrifying. But he also saw the chance they may be looking for, the chance to inflict massive casualties to the enemy and forced them to delay their attack to the Placidum of Navori's.

He looked over his teammates as he said, with a frantic expression "Tomorrow will hit them hard! If we not wiped out that entire battalion, then all of you don't deserve to come back to this village!"

It seemed that Ionia was blessed this day. And a terrible curse befallen upon Noxus!
