Legends of Runeterra

“Flutter! Flutter!”

Under the night sky, a strange figure with a wingspan of less than two meters flapped its wings violently.

"I'm so tired, so hungry, and so exhausted~!"

Even though he was constantly complaining in his heart, Smod continued to flap his wings.

It was not for any other reason, it was just that the atmosphere that day was too frightening.

Even if Smod is from the 'Emperor Dragon' clan, the strongest dragon my mother mentioned.

But he is still too young and is far from his strongest period.

Moreover, as a young dragon separated from its mother dragon, Smodur is now in danger of losing his life.

In order to return to his mother, Smod temporarily chose to put aside the pride of the Emperor Dragon, abandon the dragon's nest he had found with great difficulty, and move strategically.

"Ouch! I spent so much time digging for this, what a waste~!"

Looking at his two little paws, Smod sighed slightly.

Glancing at the snow-covered ground, Smod knew that he had indeed traveled a long distance flying toward the northeast.

'We're far enough now, can I take a break?'

As the thought came to his mind, Smod felt his little wings becoming more and more sore.

“Flutter! Flutter!”

Gliding gently down, Smod plunged headfirst into the snow.

“Swish~!”

The snow melted immediately when it came into contact with the flames above Smodur's head.

After struggling for a few times, Smod pulled his head out of the snow.

Smod swallowed the full mouth of snow in one gulp.

"Ah~!"

The ice and snow turned into snow water before they even entered the stomach.

The cool feeling made Smod breathe a sigh of relief.

After looking around, Smod's little nose twitched. After confirming that it was safe, the entire dragon dived into the snow and hid itself.

After skillfully digging out a hole, the tired Smodeus closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

...

"Boom~!"

The dull and penetrating thunder exploded directly beside Smod's ears.

"Ooohhhhhh~!"

Smod climbed up with a grunt and quickly pulled himself up.

"Pfft~!"

In the flat snow, a small dragon head broke out of the ground like a bamboo shoot in spring.

After looking around like a groundhog and not finding any problems, Smod couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Huh! What? There's nothing here. I was really shocked."

Smod shook off the melted snow on his head and was about to go back to take a nap.

"Haha~! Hello, little guy~!"

A gentle voice sounded from behind, but Smodur was like being struck by lightning, and the whole dragon froze in place.

"Huh? What's wrong little guy, if I scared you, I apologize."

"Ooohhhhhh~!"

"Bang~!"

With all four limbs exerting force at the same time, Smodeus' fiery red figure turned into a shadow and shot out like a cannonball.

“Pah! Pah!”

The small figure lightly touched the snow, then jumped out a long distance and disappeared into the cedar forest in the blink of an eye.

"Hehe~! Stupid human, don't even think about catching the great Emperor Dragon Smod~!"

Glancing back, Smodus cheered in his heart when he saw that there was no human figure following him.

However, when he just turned his head.

"Bang~!"

"Ouch~!"

Feeling the tough and unshakable touch, Smod rolled backwards with a grunt.

“Hiss! It hurts so much!”

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that, you just ran too fast."

A gentle voice sounded, and Smod, who was rubbing his little head, finally raised his head and looked at the other person.

The man had black hair and black eyes, and Smod couldn’t tell what he looked like, but he thought it was more pleasing to the eye than any human he had seen from a distance before.

But this did not reduce the vigilance of the frightened Smodur at all. In the inherited memory, those dragonlets that separated from the Dragon Mother for various reasons and fell into the hands of humans all had a bad end.

Seeing that the little guy was about to run away again, Li En sighed in his heart that the other party was too vigilant, and then he flashed away.

"Wow~!"

Smod only felt a flash before his eyes, and then the man with black hair and black eyes appeared in front of him.

As soon as his body felt lighter, he was picked up by the other party.

"My name is Li En, little guy, what's your name? Don't play dumb, I just heard you speak."

The speed and strength were no match for the man in front of him, and Smod's entire dragon suddenly wilted.

"Woo~! My...my name is Smod..."

"Haha~! Don't be nervous Smod, I won't hurt..."

Without any warning, Smodur suddenly opened his mouth and pointed it at Li En.

"Boom~!"

Except for its wings, its body is about the same size as an ordinary adult domestic dog.

The dragon breath that spewed out of Simode's mouth was like a torrent erupting in the mountains, sweeping hundreds of meters away.

It lasted for several minutes.

“Puff! Puff!”

After spitting out a few small flames, Smod's breathing finally stopped.

"Cough cough cough~!"

While coughing, he looked at the scene where fire was everywhere in sight.

Smod, whose two blazing flames were about to go out, now felt a little relieved.

Just now, Smodur used the life-saving trick of the Emperor Dragon Hatchling.

Due to the special nature of the Emperor Dragon's breath, the power of this move just now is infinitely close to the breath of other adult dragon species.

"Huh! That strange human should have been dealt with, right?"

"Unfortunately, no~!"

Smod felt a tightness on the back of his neck, and then he was lifted in front of Li En.

“Ahhh! You…you…you…”

"Why, naughty little fellow, are you surprised to see that I'm alright?"

"I am the brave Emperor Dragon, I will not be afraid of you!"

Li En pinched and rubbed Smod's face with his left hand. Perhaps because it was still a young dragon, the dragon's head covered with fine scales looked tough yet somewhat elastic.

"Wu~! Sorry... I'm sorry... Master Niun..."

"Haha~! Are you so obedient now?"

After pinching Smodus until his eyes were filled with tears, Li En withdrew his left hand.

Smod's two large dragon ears drooped, and he looked at Li En pitifully with his green eyes.

"Hehe~! You little thing is quite good at changing your face. You even dared to sneak attack me before."

"Woo~! It's my fault, Lord Li En, I shouldn't have spit you with dragon breath!

You can do whatever you want, just... just don't hurt me..."

Thinking of the scenes in the legend of the young dragons having their tendons pulled out, their scales plucked, their blood drained and their flesh cut, Smod couldn't help but tremble all over.

However, Li En twisted his mouth and let out a sinister and terrifying laugh.

"Hehehe~! Little thing, you are a dragon, how could I hurt you~!"

“Wuwaaaaaaah~! Help~! Shalongla~! Mommy, come and save me~!”
