Legends of Runeterra

Li En felt like a punctured balloon, with the heat in his body rapidly dissipating from the hole.

Resisting the feeling of weakness all over, he took out the life potion he had prepared in advance from the pocket on his waist, opened the stopper and poured it into his mouth.

As the potion takes effect, it is replenished at the same rate as it is lost.

Li En opened his eyes and found that Berea was lying on him, biting his shoulder with her mouth. A scarlet light was flashing, but he did not feel any pain at all.

He tried to struggle, but found that Berea's weight was beyond his imagination, and he could not move the part where she was pressing on him.

Glancing at Berea, Li En found that her eyes were blank, her cheeks were flushed, and her body was shaking from time to time.

"Is this my blood or a drug?"

Li En looked at the other person's appearance and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

The life potion's effect lasts for 90 seconds, and he has four bottles left.

If nothing unexpected happens, Leblanc will most likely take action after he uses up his last potion. If something unexpected happens, he can still live for at least 360 seconds.

Berea's appearance here is probably a test from the other party.

Since it is a test, it will definitely not be a dead end. Li En wants to get as high a score as possible.

“Where is the chance to break the deadlock?”

Taking advantage of the opportunity when Berea was sucking blood, Li En observed carefully.

"Ok?"

He didn't notice it just now because he was far away, but now that Berea was lying on Li En, he suddenly found that the "blood stone" on the shackles was dull.

The 'Blood Stone' is the key that the Black Rose uses to control Berea. This hideous shackle is only a medium to release the power of the 'Blood Stone'.

Now it is dim and obviously inactive.

"Bloodstone, bloodstone, most likely related to blood, do you want to try it?"

Li En hesitated for a few seconds, then he stroked the spikes on the shackles with the palm of his right hand and gently pressed the gem in the center of the shackles.

"No response? Am I mistaken!?"

"Om~!"

The 'blood stone' suddenly trembled slightly, emitting a scarlet light.

Li En only felt a huge suction force coming from his palm, and there was another predator in the blood in his body. He hurriedly used his other hand to pour the remaining four bottles of life potion into his mouth.

"Om~!"

Finally, when there was only half a bottle of medicine left, the Blood Stone stopped absorbing and emitted a long humming sound.

Scarlet energy emanated from the shackles and instantly wrapped around Berea's entire body.

"Uh-huh~!"

Berea involuntarily opened her mouth and made a painful sound.

The whole person slowly floated in the air, forming a posture of being tied to a cross.

"Huhuhu~!"

When Berea left Li En, severe pain came from all over his body and his forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat.

"That should be enough, right?"

Li En lost consciousness.

-----------------

When the person in charge of the Black Rose sensed the fluctuations of the Blood Stone shackles being activated and rushed to the scene, panic and fear filled her heart.

The subject is controlled by shackles and cannot move, which is good.

But Lady Hilda, who holds a high position in the organization, is also there, and the young man lying on the ground is her adopted heir.

If it weren't for the person in charge's amazing eyesight, the faint rise and fall of the boy's chest would be almost invisible.

"Lady Hilda! I'm sorry, sir. Something unexpected happened to the experimental subject and it escaped during the hunt!"

"I know!"

The beautiful blonde woman in front of him responded calmly, but the person in charge became more and more desperate, thinking that he would also become a laboratory subject.

"Take the experiment away!"

"Yes!"

The person in charge responded quickly, and then took his men to put Berea into the coffin and cleared all traces.

In the distance, knights with the Reyes family's seal were coming.

-----------------

“A familiar ceiling!”

Li En opened his eyes and looked at the familiar carvings above him, and this thought suddenly popped up in his mind.

Just as he was about to get up, he felt his entire body was wrapped tightly and he couldn't move at all. At the same time, he felt slight pain all over his body.

"Great, young master, you're awake!"

"Bessie..."

As soon as Li En opened his mouth, he found that his voice was so dry and hoarse.

"Master, please drink some water first!"

The maid carefully raised Li En's upper body and brought the cup of water to Li En's mouth.

After drinking a glass of honey water, Li En felt his throat was much better and asked, "Bessie, how long have I been unconscious?"

"Master, you have been in a coma for three days!"

"So long? I thought it was the next day..."

"Master, please wait a moment. I will ask others to notify Lady Hilda!"

Li En nodded, and after Bessie went out for a while, she came back to continue serving him.

After a while, the door was pushed open, and Hilda walked to the bed and sat down, with a mixture of heartache and joy on her face.

She reached out and gently stroked Li En's face and asked, "Li En, my child, how do you feel now? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

"Thank you for your concern, I feel fine!"

"Well, that's good. Do you remember who attacked you? If anyone dares to hurt the heir of the Reyes family, I will make him pay a heavy price!"

"It's so real, how could you not know who it is? You were right there!"

Li En complained in his heart, but said: "I only remember that the other party was a strange white-haired girl with shackles!"

"Okay, just remember it! I'll arrange for someone to come over later. The more detailed your description is, the better!"

"I understand, thank you sir!"

...

After some concern, Hilda stood up.

"I have a meeting. I'll see you when I get back tonight!"

"Okay, sir, take care!"

Li En watched the other party leave.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Bessie said with emotion: "Lady Hilda has been working in the family for three consecutive days, just so that she can rush over as soon as you wake up!"

-----------------

"Please don't... the Master is still resting!"

Just an hour after Li En woke up, the noise of maids could be heard in the corridor outside the room.

"Oh!"

The door was pushed open roughly. Li En subconsciously looked towards the door, and a figure with a red ponytail came in front of him.

The girl's breathing was a little rapid, with a thin layer of sweat on her forehead. The look in her eyes when she looked at Li En was filled with joy but also with anger, guilt, and self-blame.

"Good afternoon, Katerina, have you eaten?"

Li En endured the pain, raised his right hand, and greeted with a smile on his face.

"Stupid!"

The girl's eyes turned red and she gently threw herself into Li En's arms.

Seeing this, the maids, led by Bessie, left the room quietly and closed the door behind them.

...

"I'm sorry!" Catalina lay on Li En's chest for a long time and suddenly spoke.

"what!?"

"I shouldn't have let you go back alone that night! If...if I were there, I could protect you!"

"It's okay, it's not your fault. No one expected that someone would be crazy enough to attack the Reyes family in the Immortal Fortress!"

"But..."

"I'm fine. Look, I feel like I've gotten stronger! Hiss~Ha~!"

As Li En spoke, he bent his arms and showed off his biceps, but he accidentally pulled the wound and his expression twisted instantly.

"Be careful, are you okay? I'll go call a doctor!"

Katrina immediately wanted to stand up.

"Wait, I'm fine!" Li En pressed down on Katarina's back and let her lie on his chest again. "I miss you so much, can you just stay with me like this?"

"Um..."

The two of them hugged each other quietly. Smelling the girl's subtle fragrance, Li En felt sleepy and slowly fell asleep.

Outside the window, Tai Long was leaning against a tree and saw this scene, then he turned and left.
