Legends of Runeterra

In the southeastern islands of Ionia, the people living in the Nestalan Forest have been feeling a little uneasy recently.

Even on this remote island, the Noxian army still invaded.

They were rude and brutal, and any Ionian who disobeyed their orders was cruelly tortured.

But compared with these brutal Noxians, the news that the ancient and mysterious temple in the forest, the Temple of Pallas, collapsed overnight made the locals even more uneasy.

According to the stories passed down from generation to generation in the local area, the Temple of Pallas was built by a great man specifically to seal away beings more terrifying than the devil.

Now that the temple has been destroyed, none of the Noxians who went to explore it have returned, and the local people are in panic.

“Swish~!”

A flash of lightning flashed across the sky above the forest, and Kenan quickly moved towards the temple.

There are records within the Order of the Kinkou that the temple contains a corrupted being from ancient Shurima.

As soon as the crystal that monitored the seal of the Temple of Pallas within the sect was broken, Kennen found Shen as quickly as possible and asked him to use his secret technique to help him get away.

To be on the safe side, the two set up the location near the Nistaran Forest.

As Kenan hurried on his way, he could sense the madness, brutality, and bloodthirstiness coming from not far away, and his brows under the mask became more and more furrowed.

'Damn it, these Noxians really broke the seal!

I hope it hasn't absorbed enough flesh and blood, otherwise...'

With this hope in mind, Kenan cautiously approached the Temple of Pallas.

However, what met his eyes was a collapsed ruin. Empty clothes and armors could be seen everywhere on the ground, but their users were nowhere to be seen.

Walking into the remaining temple, there is an ancient deep well in the center.

At this moment, it looked like it was exploding, as if a ferocious, hungry beast had struggled out of it.

Looking carefully at the surroundings, all the strange and terrifying traces shattered his hopes and his heart sank to the bottom.

Kenan quickly formed seals with his hands.

"Hoo~!"

Invisible aura gathered from all around to the center of his palm, forming a ray of dark red energy.

Then he put his hands together, sandwiched the dark red energy in between and clapped them lightly.

"Om~!"

The secret of balance took effect, and a trace that only Kennen could see passed through the temple and extended into the distance.

"The mental realm is in chaos right now. The alarm has been sounded for at least three days before the other party breaks the seal. I hope it doesn't cause more damage."

Kenan's body once again transformed into a ball of lightning, which swept across the forest and followed.

...

As the sky gradually brightened, the shouting and screaming on the battlefield gradually subsided.

Although the Ionian resistance forces intended to leave all the enemies behind, they were severely short of manpower.

The reason they were able to come out and pursue was thanks to the lightning that fell from the sky controlled by Li En, and Master Yi and others who broke up the Noxian formation.

Simply comparing their military qualities, these guards who had barely gathered together were like sand sculptures on the beach in front of the Noxian army. They looked well-organized, but in fact they would scatter at the first blow.

So, after leaving behind a field of corpses, the remaining Noxian soldiers, under the command of the surviving officers, divided into large and small groups and evacuated Presidium in all directions.

Master Yi and the others, who were almost at their limit, could only watch them leave with regret.

As for Li En, he had no intention of pursuing these remaining small groups of troops one by one.

The army that could not be gathered was no longer a threat to Presidium.

The remaining ones are just right for Shadow Stream disciples to practice.

At the same time, it can also attract attention and ensure that Riven and Swain's whereabouts will not be discovered all at once.

As everyone faced the rising sun and cheered for victory.

Li En held Irelia and slowly landed on the city wall of Presidium.

"How are you, Karma?"

“I’m fine, Lee En.

Maybe it's because I've never mobilized so much power of the 'Soul of Ionia' by myself before, and now I feel a little sleepy."

"Really? To be safe, let me help you take another look."

"Well, I'll trouble you then."

"We are all family, there is no trouble!"

Li En held Irelia in his arms and came to the mat specially prepared for Karma to sit cross-legged.

After adjusting Irelia in his arms to a comfortable position, Li En stretched out his right hand in front of Karma.

"Come on, just give me your hand."

"Ok!"

Karma was not shy at all and raised her left hand and placed it in Li En's palm.

Li En held it gently, and just as he saw, the honey-colored skin and flawless palm were warm and soft, like the finest silk.

"Hoo~!"

Concentrating his mind, a wisp of Li En's own 'dragon power' was transmitted through his palm.

Under Karma's intentional control, this strand of 'dragon power' was not rejected, but was smoothly integrated and began to explore along the way.

Not long after, Li En opened his eyes.

"How's it going, Lee En?"

"Well, the results are the same as your examination results, no problem!"

"Haha~! That's good... Haah~!"

Halfway through his words, Karma couldn't help but yawn.

"I'm sorry, Li En... I couldn't help it just now..."

Karma covered her mouth with her hands, a look of embarrassment on her face.

"Haha~! It's okay. It's really hard for you to fight against the Noxian magic group alone.

If you don't mind..."

Li En's expression paused, and he suddenly looked up towards the east.

"Leon, what happened?"

"There's no time to explain Karma, I'll leave Irelia to you!"

Li En stuffed Irelia into Karma's arms and activated [Dimensional Walking]. A space gap leading to a higher dimension appeared in front of him.

Activating the power of the dragon, the whole person turned into lightning and entered the space gap.

Karma, who had no time to speak, could only hold Irelia and look in the direction where Li En left, with a hint of worry on her beautiful face.

...

"Uh~! Brother Li En~!"

Irelia slowly woke up from her sleep, and in a daze, she subconsciously rubbed against Li En's arms.

The expected solid and warm embrace turned out to be soft and flexible.

"Huh!? Brother Li En, what's wrong with you? Are you...?"

Irelia raised her head sharply, her tone very anxious and worried.

However, what came into view was a beautiful and peaceful face and emerald eyes.

"Good morning, Irelia, you look well rested!"

“Ah~!!! Ka…ka…Lord Karma!!”

"Yeah, it's me. Are you surprised to see me?"

"This...you...I..."

Faced with Karma's question, Irelia's brain, which had just woken up, froze on the spot.

"Haha~! Okay, no more jokes.

Li En went to take care of something not long ago, and asked me to take care of you before he left. "

"Ah? Lord Karma, do you know what it is?"

"He left in a hurry and didn't have time to tell me. Let's go, let's go meet with Master Rito and deal with the post-war matters!"

"Oh well!"

Irelia followed behind Karma, with a hint of worry on her face.
