Legends of Runeterra

"Shua~!"

The duelists surrounding Li En and the other duelist did not attack together. Instead, the two youngest duelists attacked them head-on.

The masters led by Yuno Esther stood at the outermost edge, looking at the two with expressionless faces.

"Ding~!"

“Swish~!”

The sounds of swords clashing and clothes tearing rang out almost simultaneously.

The collars of the two duelists had been torn, and they looked at the sharp blades at their throats with disbelief on their faces.

"Concession!"

Li En and Fiona took a step back together and retracted their swords.

The two duelists were silent for a while, put away their swords, saluted and left the competition stage.

After all, today is Jarvan's birthday party, and considering the look that Sanshi gave him before the duel, Li En naturally would not do something as disappointing as taking someone's life.

Fiona, whose attention had always been on Li En, also saw the interaction between the Third Life and Li En. As smart as she was, she also understood the meaning.

Facing these guys who are not a threat, Fiona will not use killing moves at will.

“Swish~Swish~!”

As if they had made an appointment, this time all four duelists attacked at the same time.

"Ding-dong~! Ding-dong~!"

After only holding out for a few moves at the hands of the two, all four were defeated.

Six, eight, ten...

When the twelve duelists came on together, all the nobles present straightened up, held their breath, and stared at the duel platform.

"Shua~!"

At every moment, long swords came from five directions and stabbed at vital points.

However, the two of them were even faster than the swords, and they seemed to be dancing with the swords. The swords were always just a little short of the mark and could not touch them at all.

“Ding! Dang!”

The sword blade passed between Fiona's eyebrows. The distance was so close that she could even see the patterns of the refined steel on the sword.

"Ha~!"

With the corners of her mouth slightly raised, Fiona swung the sharp blade and stabbed and poked.

"Stab~!"

The duelist whose collar was torn paused, and before he could retreat, a series of tearing sounds rang in his ears again.

"Phew! Thanks for letting me!"

Following Li En's words, Fiona retreated with sword in hand.

With a glance, Li En just happened to deal with his opponent at this moment.

"It seems that I'm not the only one who has become stronger during this period..."

Noticing Fiona's gaze, Li En turned his head slightly, nodded slightly, and then the two stood shoulder to shoulder.

Fiona felt extremely at ease as she silently felt the breath around her.

At this point, out of a total of fifty duelists, only the eight strongest duelists standing at the outermost circle remained.

"Huhuhu~!"

In the banquet hall that accommodates so many people, at this moment, apart from the sound of breathing, no noise can be heard.

Everyone's eyes were on the two people standing in the middle of the broken and messy venue with marks of sharp blades.

“Tread! Tread! Tread!”

Looking directly at Li En and the other man, Yuno Esther held the hilt of the sword, walked over step by step, and stopped fifteen meters away from the two men.

The rest of the duelists stood behind each other in turn.

“Li En, Fiona Laurent, you are quite capable!

If I were to fight any of you one-on-one, I wouldn't be able to guarantee a 100% victory."

The two of them looked at Yuno quietly without responding.

The other party didn't care at all and spoke on his own.

“But unfortunately, you who don’t cherish this talent are too aggressive.

Therefore, for the honor of us duelists, your arrogance must stop here!"

"I don't understand, Fiona, what is he talking about?"

“Hehe~! It’s just the cry of a rotten tree before it collapses!”

"Really? Then kill them all together!"

"Hey~!"

"Let's go together and put an end to these two arrogant guys!"

Yuno, who failed in his attempt to pretend, let out a light cry and went forward with the other seven people.

"Shua~!"

Fiona used the "Sky Break" and arrived in front of Yuno in just a moment.

"Ding~!"

The long sword blocked the attack steadily.

At the same time, four sharp blades attacked from all directions.

The speed, timing and angle are all in perfect condition.

"Dang~!"

A sword came diagonally from the right, and Fiona blocked the blade and took the opportunity to dodge and retreat.

"Be careful, these people are much stronger than the previous ones, and they have been watching from the outside for so long that they are ready for basic moves."

"Yes, I know!"

Fiona and Li En stood back to back, looking at Yuno and others vigilantly.

"Haha~! I was so close to taking care of one, what a pity~!"

Kachimierz, the second-best Duel Master in Xiongdu, looked at the two and sighed.

Although the words were full of regret, the smile on the corner of his mouth seemed to be mocking Fiona.

"Humph!"

Fiona's cold face became even colder.

"Shua~!"

“Ding~Dang~!”

They were completely not on the same level as the previous duelists. Clearly there were only eight of them this time, but the long swords attacking the two of them were like flying snow, smashing down on them head-on.

Sparks flashed, and ten figures dodged in the venue in an instant and hit back at each other at the same time.

Ten minutes later.

"Huhuhu~!"

She had previously defeated twenty-one duelists by herself, and with this high-intensity fight, even with Fiona's physique, her breathing inevitably became disordered.

Yuno and others who noticed this began to pay special attention to Fiona.

“Ding~Dang~!”

"Huhuhu~!"

Li En, who had been paying attention to the overall situation, naturally noticed Fiona's situation.

"That's about it. The Third and the nobles present have seen Fiona's strength. Let's end this duel now."

Li En tightened his sword slightly, secretly gathering his strength and locking onto Yuno and the others at the same time.

'I figured out this trick not long ago, and I'll let you guys try it out!'

This was the first time Li En used this move in actual combat, so he naturally used it more cautiously.

However, the sword was just a little slow to draw, and Fiona, who was fighting, noticed it.

“Ding~Dang~!”

Fiona took the attacks from the three people, sweat wet her eyes, and the constant stinging sensation made her eyes sharper.

'Is Li En almost reaching his limit...

These guys are working together better and better. If this continues...

No! This is all because of me, I must...'

In an instant, Fiona made a decision in her heart.

"Shua~!"

Faced with several sharp blades attacking again, Fiona adopted a strange posture.

Yuno and the others were stunned, and those who were unable to withdraw their attacks in time instead stabbed at the other side with all their strength.

Even if it is the 'Heart Eye Sword', such a young swordsman will definitely not be able to withstand their combined attack.

"Ding~~!"

The invisible force guided several people's attacks to fall on the sword, and the surging and violent power flowed into Fiona's body along her arms.

But she did not unleash it like she did last time. Instead, she forced the force to flow along the predetermined route.

"That's it!"

“Swish~~!”

Two long sword sounds rang out at the same time.

Li En and Fiona were seen carrying swords and transforming into different shapes with the swords. Countless sword lights flashed in the duel arena.

In the beautiful and dangerous sword light, the two figures appeared and disappeared, interweaving in all directions.

In a trance, the audience present only felt that this was a gorgeous and deadly waltz of sharp blades.
