Legends of Runeterra

“Crash! Crash!”

Fine rain fell from the sky, hitting Riven's face.

"Uh..."

Riven groaned and slowly opened her dazed eyes.

"Hi~!"

The severe pain coming from all over her body brought Riven back to her senses immediately.

He struggled to prop up his upper body and scanned the entire audience.

As far as the eye could see, all the surrounding trees were destroyed.

Whether it was his own regiment or the group of mysterious old men, they were all lying on the ground in a twisted state.

Like the pale green alchemical venom, these people's faces were also extremely pale green, and they were silent.

After mixing with rain water, the alchemical poison filled the entire battlefield and flowed down the mountain along the terrain.

"Misty...Ota..."

Looking at the familiar faces that appeared silently one after another, Riven's pale face was covered with a layer of sadness.

“Pah! Pah! Pah!”

A round of artificial applause sounded behind Riven.

“As expected of him, he is the fastest promoted swordsman in the empire in recent years. He actually survived such a terrifying alchemical poison explosion!

Riven, you are even tougher than I thought~!"

The voice coming through the mask was a little muffled, but Riven still recognized the other person at the first sight.

"A-Miss-Stan!!"

"Yes, it's me!"

"Why? Why do you do this?"

Riven held the Black Stone Rune Blade stuck in the ground and questioned the other party with gritted teeth.

"Why? Haha~! To put it simply, the target of this mission is this group of guys, and you and your regiment are the bait to lure them out!

Although it is a pity, this is a necessary sacrifice, everything is for the empire~!"

Knowing that Riven was just a spent force and that her subordinates had already surrounded her, Amystan was not nervous at all.

Filled with jealousy and hatred towards Riven, seeing her in so much pain, Amystan felt extremely comfortable all over even though she was wearing a thick and stuffy protective suit.

"For... the Empire..."

Looking at his comrades lying on the ground, Ruiwu suddenly felt a little confused.

Riven is not opposed to being used as bait.

She could accept dying with honor for the Empire with a mission, but she could not tolerate this kind of deception that made her and her regiment die without knowing why.

And the fatal blow came from one of their own people.

"Haha~!"

Looking at the mixed emotions of pain, anger, confusion... and so on on Riven's face, Amystan sneered with disdain.

This lucky little girl, who had the talent to make contributions in several wars, thought she was great just because she had seen a battlefield littered with corpses.

As a result, after only briefly experiencing the darkness within the empire, he revealed such a weak attitude.

Feelings of jealousy and hatred surged in Amystan's heart. She wanted to completely break Riven's psychological defenses before she died, so that she would have her faith shattered and die miserably.

"Admit it, Riven, you didn't..."

"Okay, let's skip this boring scene! Considering her status as the Imperial Swordsman, let's give her a quick death.

After recovering the Rune Blade, immediately arrange for someone to go to Wuji Village to look for the inheritance secret book!"

"Okay, Master Li En~!"

Amystan turned around and saluted, but a vicious smile appeared on her face under the mask.

"But sir, before that, I need to borrow something from you!"

"Huh? What?"

"Your head!!"

"Shua~!"

He spoke and acted simultaneously. A flash of snow-white knife light rose from Amistan's waist and slashed directly towards Li En's neck.

"Dang~!"

The long sword collided with the palm, making a sound of metal colliding.

"Shua~!"

Amystan decisively dropped his knife and stepped back, protecting his men in front of him.

"Crunch~!"

Li En exerted a little force, and the long sword broke and deformed with a wail.

Then he gently tore along the torn edge of the protective suit, revealing his entire body to everyone.

"Demacia Steel...Who the hell are you!?"

Amystan looked at the silver armor wrapped around Li En's left arm with a serious expression.

"Haha~! Before asking me who I am, can you please tell me who you are? How dare you poison the food of the imperial nobles? How many heads do you have to chop off?

Or is this what Belfgang meant?"

Faced with this sudden change in the situation, Riven suppressed the grief in her heart, grasped the rune blade, and hurried to recover her strength.

When Amystan heard Li En's words, she showed a hint of surprise.

"You already knew?"

"Before carrying out the mission, didn't your boss tell you my identity?

You are a little too arrogant to try to kill a person who has been taught by a master assassin by poisoning him!"

As Li En spoke, he slowly walked towards Amystan and the others. The pale green alchemical venom around him had no effect on him at all.

"Tell me who is behind this. I will give you a quick death after this!"

"He's just pretending, come on, kill him!"

Amystan waved his hand and commanded his men to rush forward.

"Unfortunately, you made the wrong choice!"

Keeping the same speed, Li En went forward with a look of regret on his face.

Poison darts, flying blades, crossbow arrows, all kinds of clever and vicious attacks were directed at Li En.

However, Li En's figure became blurred, and various flying weapons fell on the ground around him.

"First!"

Li En's calm voice was not loud, but it rang in everyone's ears.

As he counted, Li En raised his left arm, which was covered with a rune steel gauntlet, and gently pressed it on the head of the soldier closest to him.

“Crack~!”

With a crisp sound of bone cracking, the soldier's head drilled into his chest.

"the second!"

The left hand changes to a vertical chop.

A soldier holding a mace leaped up and smashed at Lee En, splitting him in two from head to hip.

"Wow~!"

The internal organs and intestines were scattered all over the ground, and a faint heat rose up.

The tragic situation of two people in the company did not dampen the morale at all, and the soldiers still rushed towards Li En.

Li En also maintained a normal walking pace, slaughtering the soldiers of the regiment while slowly walking towards Amistan.

...

"The forty-ninth!"

Just like crushing a fried crispy ball, Li En crushed the head of the last soldier with his left hand. Blood and filth dripped from his fingertips, leaving no trace on the rune steel gauntlet. The silver gauntlet was as bright as new.

Amystan stood there in a daze.

It's not that she didn't want to escape, but Li En's murderous intent had already locked onto her, and Amystan couldn't even move a finger.

"Okay, it's your turn, Amystan!"

Li En slightly withdrew his murderous intent, and Amystan immediately collapsed to the ground.

"Hoohoo! Wait...wait, Master Li En! I am willing to tell you everything! I am willing to be your undercover agent..."

"Too bad, I'm not interested now!"

The silver-white gauntlet grabbed Amistan's neck.

“Crack~!”
