Legends of Runeterra

"interesting!"

Looking at these huge numbers of strange monsters with black and red mosquitoes and flies lingering around them, Li En grinned slightly.

"Ahhhhhh!!!"

As if provoked by Li En's smile, the monsters in front of him let out shrill roars.

"Fuck, that's really ugly!"

Li En took a step forward and opened his hands to press down the heads of the two monsters.

"Crack the skull with a strong hand!"

"Oh!"

Two skinned faces collided fiercely, noses, eyeballs, teeth...

All the protruding parts became flat, and the two monsters stuck tightly together.

"Hmm!? Did the head become harder after the mutation?!"

It was originally thought that this force was enough to shatter the heads of the two monsters, but now it only caused comminuted fractures on their faces.

“Sizzle~!”

An arc of electricity flashed across their palms, and the power of the dragon instantly swept through their bodies.

The black and red mosquitoes and flies disappeared, and the strange aura brought by the blood witchcraft was mostly eliminated.

Li En immediately felt the skull in his hand become fragile.

Just maintaining the previous strength.

"Crack!"

The fragile skull shattered like an eggshell, but there was nothing inside.

The inside was dry and smooth, just like a processed skull specimen.

It only took three seconds to do all this.

The eight blood sorcerers chanted the spell again, and the black and red mosquitoes and flies surrounding the monsters burrowed under their skin.

“Crack! Crack!”

The monsters' bodies made a sound like frying beans, and their sizes grew rapidly.

More than ten seconds later, the monsters, whose heights ranged from two meters to nearly three meters, with claws like knives and teeth like daggers, stopped changing.

"Ahhhhhh!!!"

Under Du Kuor's gaze from a distance, the monsters rushed towards Li En frantically.

"Hahahaha! Come! Let me grant you eternal peace!"

Through their crazy cries, Li En could feel the pain of the twisted and broken souls imprisoned in that body.

So Li En no longer held back and stimulated the power of the dragon to maintain it at a certain level.

As his fists and feet swung, golden-red domineering aura was wrapped around silver-white thunder.

Wherever it passed, the mutated monsters turned into broken limbs.

In contrast to their empty brains, the monsters' bodies were filled with sticky blood.

Every time they tore a monster apart, the blood in their bodies exploded.

As for the monsters that were drenched in blood, those that did not die on the spot began to recover from their injuries quickly.

Then he got up tirelessly again and rushed towards Li En with a roar.

"If this becomes a wage earner, I'm afraid all bosses will be extremely excited!"

Li En dispelled the unreasonable associations in his mind and concentrated on rescuing the souls trapped in the monsters' bodies. The movements of his hands became more fierce and capable.

On this battlefield filled with blood mist, the round and bright full moon was now stained with a faint scarlet color.

A strange and extremely obscure wave, along with the moonlight turning scarlet, began to echo on the battlefield.

...

“Crash~!”

The sound of crashing waves reached her ears, and Irelia slowly woke up from her slumber.

"Ok?"

I raised my body subconsciously, but what I saw was a small, cabin-like space.

Irelia quickly put on her shoes and got out of bed, then walked to the window not far away.

Through the window glass, with the exceptionally bright moonlight, what came into Irelia's sight was a wide, sparkling river.

And not far away, the last group of Zan family warriors were preparing to board the ship.

"Father! Brother!"

Irelia saw Rito and Zelos at the end of the crowd at a glance, but she did not see Li En.

Based on Irelia's understanding of Li En, he would definitely choose to be the last one to board the ship.

Now that Li En is nowhere to be seen, the scene before he fell asleep flashes through Irelia's mind, along with the disappearance of the Noxian pursuers.

A terrible guess came into Irelia's mind.

Grabbing the fragments of the Zan family emblem that she and Li En had collected beside the bed, Irelia rushed out of the room without any hesitation.

Following the items temporarily piled up in a mess on the deck, Irelia quickly and silently approached Rito and his son.

According to common sense, no matter how careful Irelia was, she couldn't get so close to the father and son without being discovered just because she had practiced traditional dance.

Irelia, who was concentrating on eavesdropping, did not notice that a strange wave was surrounding her body.

At this moment her breath blended with the land, harmoniously and naturally.

"Father, all the tribesmen are on board!"

"Well, ring the bell and notify Li En to evacuate quickly!"

"Okay father!"

Zelos picked up the bell at his waist and shook it gently.

Irelia recognized the bell. It was one of the rare items in the Zan family's collection, called the Twin Bells, and there were two of them in total.

When it is shaken with any form of energy, another bell will ring as long as it is in Ionia.

"That's enough, stop shaking it, or it will affect Li En's escape from the battlefield!"

Hearing this, Zelos stopped what he was doing, put away the bell, and looked at Rito.

"Father, you said Li En..."

"Zelos, you stay and lead the people to leave safely!"

"What about you?"

"Li En's action of stopping the Noxian army is too dangerous, and he may not be able to escape far due to the heavy consumption. Someone must go to pick him up!"

"Let me go. Father, as the patriarch, you are more suitable to lead us to rebuild our homeland!"

“I’m sorry, Zelos, you’re not strong enough yet. When you really meet Li En, it’s hard to say who will save whom between you!

Besides, I am the team leader now."

Rito, who didn't want to waste time talking, directly pointed out the problem of Zelos's lack of strength.

This overly straightforward and inexplicable reason caused Zelos' bronze face to slightly turn red.

Even though he was one of the most talented people in the tribe, he was still facing Rito, who was equally talented and had practiced for most of his life.

The gap between the two is still unquestionable.

Zelos opened his mouth, but no words came out for a long time.

"Ok, I see!"

In the end, Zelos chose to follow Rito's arrangements.

"Father, please be careful on your journey!"

"Very well, Zelos, my child, the Zan family will be handed over to you for the time being!"

Rito patted Zelos' shoulder, and then, under his gaze, he tapped the river surface and quietly came to the shore.

Zelos watched his father re-enter the forest before turning and leaving.

Irelia, who had been eavesdropping on the entire process, did not hesitate at all. She carried the small bag containing the family crest fragments and imitated Rito's movements, tapping the river surface lightly.

Irelia, an ordinary person who had not cultivated any power, just stepped on the water.

Although it took her more steps than Rito, Irelia reached the shore easily.

After identifying the extremely subtle breath that could dissipate at any time, Irelia quickly followed.
