Legends of Runeterra

"Huhuhu~!"

Cassiopeia put her arms around Li En's neck, and her rapid, hot breath hit his face.

Looking at the charming dim yellow snake eyes gently, Li En's mouth corners slightly raised.

"How's it going, Peya? Are you feeling better?"

"...Um."

Cassiopeia came back to her senses and relaxed her snake tail, slowly letting go of Li En's body.

"Leen...I..."

"Okay, don't worry, I will solve your problem."

Li En pinched Cassiopeia's dusty little face, his tone firm and confident.

"Well, I believe you!"

"Lee~en~!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Samira's cry was heard from a distance.

"Shua~!"

With a flash of his body, Li En brought Cassiopeia to the two people who had arrived.

Samira and Sylvie stopped immediately. They looked at Cassiopeia, who had turned into half human, half snake, with complicated expressions for a moment.

"That's right..."

"I'm sorry, Miss Cassiopeia. We failed to protect you. As the captain, I will accept any punishment you may have!"

"Sivir!"

Holding Samira down, Sivir walked up to Cassiopeia.

"Haha~! This happened suddenly, and no one knew that the ancient evil mechanism would be triggered. Sivir, you don't have to do this.

Besides, my lover Li En will help me get rid of this curse!"

Holding Li En's arm, Cassiopeia looked elegant and confident.

Samira on the side frowned slightly, but did not say anything inappropriate at this moment.

"Well, don't worry about it. Let's go back to Uzeris and remove the curse from Peya as soon as possible."

The three of them heard this and nodded in unison.

"Boom~!"

Red lightning rose from the ground, leaped into the clouds, and flew to the north of Shurima in an instant.

...

Uzeris, in a special secret room in the city lord's mansion.

Cassiopeia, having washed off the dust and sand, curled up her snake tail and lay in the center of the room covered with expensive carpets.

The tip of the tail swung unconsciously frequently, revealing Cassiopeia's uneasy heart.

“Boom~!”

A low vibration sound was heard, and the heavy steel door slowly rose up. Li En walked in holding a palm-sized cup.

"Lee En~!"

"Well, are you ready, Peya?"

"Yeah, anytime!"

"Okay, stretch your body first."

At Li En's signal, Cassiopeia stretched out her snake tail, which was more than five meters long.

Holding a cup in one hand and a brush made in Ionia in the other, Li En squatted in front of Cassiopeia and aligned their gazes.

"This is the blood contributed by Sivir. Her bloodline is special and has a certain effect on this ancient Shurima curse. It can make the process of removing the curse safer."

Cassiopeia had already sensed the smell of blood. She looked down and saw that the cup was almost two-thirds full of blood.

"Stay still. I will draw the blood on the snake's tail."

"Well, I see."

Cassiopeia nodded obediently, and Li En picked up the brush and dipped it in the blood provided by Sivir.

A hint of purple flashed in his dark eyes, and Li En began to apply it carefully and cautiously on the girl's snake tail.

With the help of [Void Vision], every node that caused the mutation was smeared with blood by Li En.

"Okay, now let's officially start to dissolve this curse."

"Leen, I...do I need to do anything?"

"Close your eyes, lie down, and let me do everything."

"OK, all right."

Cassiopeia lay defenseless on the blanket, her seductive snake eyes gently closed.

"It may be a little uncomfortable at first, just bear with it."

"Um..."

One hand was placed on Cassiopeia's forehead, and the other hand was placed at the junction of the snake's tail and waist.

"Buzz~~!"

The golden-red flame spread down, quickly enveloping Cassiopeia's entire body, and then slowly seeping into her body.

“Chila~~!”

"Uh...Ah~!"

Wisps of dark green mist emerged from Cassiopeia's body. The girl tried hard to suppress her groan of pain, not wanting to distract Li En.

"Hold on, Peya. It's normal to feel pain. The power of the curse is being peeled away bit by bit!"

"I...I understand...Li En, you...continue!"

“Swish~!”

Dark green mist continued to emerge from Cassiopeia's body, but it did not dissipate. Instead, it gathered together in mid-air, forming a poisonous python that was more than ten meters long.

Finally, when the last wisp of mist merged into the python's body, the snake's pupils opened and a dim light lit up.

"Hisssssss~!"

"Haha~! How dare a mere remnant of 'Bakay' act so presumptuously here."

"Hiss~~!"

It was composed of black and green mist, but it was lifelike, as if a real giant python opened its bloody mouth with venomous fangs and bit at you.

"Crack~!"

The left hand wrapped in red lightning directly pinched the giant python. The lightning instantly covered the entire body of the snake, and the giant python was unable to move.

"Om~!"

A brilliant and deep purple light lit up, and the giant python's dim snake eyes, which were originally full of cruelty and bloodthirstiness, now revealed fear visible to the naked eye.

However, as a creature that failed to ascend, the giant python had no resistance to the power of the void.

Like an ice cube exposed to sunlight on a hot summer day, the giant python's huge body melted in the brilliant purple light.

"Crackling~!"

Bakui was cruel and bloodthirsty, and all the impurities belonging to him were removed one by one, leaving only a wisp of golden "power of ascension".

Li En did not show any excitement at all for this power that had essentially been degraded countless times. He simply extinguished it and swallowed it.

Looking at the unconscious Cassiopeia tenderly, Li En placed his palm gently on her forehead.

"Om~!"

Dreamy energy like a galaxy floated down and slowly and carefully merged into the girl's body.

...

"Hmm~~!"

The girl slowly opened her eyes.

"How do you feel, Peya? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Li...Li En..."

Cassiopeia sat up suddenly and lifted the blanket covering her lower body. What appeared before her were a pair of smooth and flawless slender legs.

The girl grasped the flesh of her thigh and pinched it gently.

Feeling the pain clearly, she excitedly turned to look at Li En who was sitting next to her.

"Li En, this...this...wuwuwu~!"

Cassiopeia fell into Li En's arms and burst into tears.

"Alright, alright, stop crying. You should be happy that the curse has been resolved."

"Yeah, I...I won't cry..."

Wiping the tears from her face, Cassiopeia, with her nose and eyes red, smiled brightly.

"I have reversed all the power of the curse. Now you, Peya, can use that power without any side effects.

You try it, and if you don’t like it I’ll help you remove it.”

"Ah? Then how should I try?"

"Close your eyes and channel the power that lies within you."

Following Li En's narration, Cassiopeia began to try.

"Om~!"

"Ah~! This, this, this..."

The girl screamed in panic, at a loss what to do.
