Legends of Runeterra

Lying quietly in the center of the crystallized sand pit, staring at the sun in the sky that had not changed at all from thousands of years ago, Nasus' mind was blank.

"Hehe~!"

"Crackling~!"

As Li En stretched his body, his muscles and bones made a crisp sound.

Looking down at Nasus who was standing in the center of the pit, he had clearly been beaten violently by Li En, with his limbs and torso shattered more than once, and his head was once dented, but after a while, his body had almost recovered.

This powerful recovery ability made Li En slightly recognize the value of the Ascendant.

He casually swung the long-handled battle axe in his hand.

"Shua~!"

"Bang~!"

The axe handle pierced into the glass-like crystal, the axe blade blocked the sunlight, and the shadow cast just fell on Nasus' face.

Those confused eyes finally came back to their senses.

"Uh uh..."

"You are very good, Nasus. At least you are better than Renekton and have the courage to fight back against me."

"Ahem! Courage?"

Nasus supported his body with his newly repaired right arm, memories surging in his mind.

Thinking of his own feeble resistance under the opponent's violent attack, Nasus felt an urge to laugh for some reason.

"Huh~! You beat Li En. As agreed, I will leave!"

"Well, I made a promise when I took Sivir away that day that they would not come to provoke me until Azir and Xerath had decided the winner."

Having personally experienced Li En's strength, Nasus nodded silently at this moment.

After hesitating for a moment, he pulled off the pendant around his neck.

A piece of jade, its sea green texture with thin gold lines running across its surface.

A faint light shone through it, rising and falling slowly like a heavy heart.

"Li En, if possible, please tell me about Renekton. This is my reward. It can hide the user's traces and protect the user from evil auras."

"There's nothing wrong with Renekton physically, but his mental state seems to be a little off. He calls out your name as if he's calling out to some mortal enemy.

You two together can't defeat Xerath. He and Xerath have been sealed for thousands of years, and they may have been tortured to the point of losing their minds."

"younger brother..."

Murmuring softly, the hope on Nasus' face disappeared, replaced by deep regret and guilt.

"Phew! I see. Thank you, Li En. Please accept it."

"Well, thanks."

Li En took the jade pendant, a hint of purple flashed in his eyes. After checking that there was no problem, he put it directly into his magic pocket.

"No need to thank me, I'm the one who should thank you.

Given Renekton's current state, if I really bring Sivir with me, that would be a big problem. I can't handle both of them at the same time."

"Click~!"

Drawing out his battle axe, Nasus took out a robe from the storage gem embedded in the arm armor and put it on, then wrapped the battle axe with a bandage.

Everything was ready, and Nasus returned to his previous somewhat strange appearance.

"I bid farewell to Li En. Shurima City is rising again, and I must go there."

"See you."

Nodding slightly, Nasus turned and took a step forward. His figure flashed across the desert and turned into a small black dot in the blink of an eye.

The Eagle King is reborn, the Sun Disc rises, and the gift of the power of ascension appears again.

Whether it is to assist Azir or save Renekton, Nasus must restore his former glory.

Nasus used to be the Imperial Grand Secretary and he founded the Imperial Library, but he also had another nickname: The Death God of the Desert!

He would never allow today's situation to happen again.

...

"Still not convinced? That's great. Next time I'll beat you two up together."

Looking at the black spot that had shrunk to the size of a grain of rice, Li En's mouth corners slightly raised.

Suddenly, Li En looked towards the west.

"Huh? Who's here again!?"

"..."

Another moment passed.

"Boom, boom, boom~!"

Along with the vibration, a triangular-shaped cloud of dust rose up on the distant horizon, as if something was quickly passing through the yellow sand, stirring up a sky full of smoke and dust.

With Li En's vision that was far superior to that of ordinary people, he saw a round object covered with spikes flying towards him at a high speed in the smoke and dust.

As if aware of Li En's gaze, 'Yuanyuan' sped up again.

Subsequently.

"Shua~!"

"Yuan Juan Gun" jumped high.

"Boom~~!"

The surging dust suddenly parted to both sides when it reached Li En, and he just stood there quietly.

“Tap~tap~tap~!”

As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, a creature wearing a thick khaki-colored spiked shell and limbs covered with emerald green scales, resembling some kind of turtle-like creature, slowly walked over.

Although the creature was only about 1.6 meters tall, it exuded an indestructible aura like a mountain.

The strange creature came to a stop two meters in front of Li En and looked at him quietly with its bright yellow eyes.

"..."

"..."

After staring at each other in silence for a while, Li En blinked.

"Ramos?"

"... Um."

A low voice sounded, followed by endless silence.

"Um...did you come here specifically to see me?"

"Ah."

"Sure enough, just as the rumors say, Ramos is very quiet, almost making people who have met him doubt whether he can speak."

Looking at the 7% bond value on the panel, Li En was sure that at least Ramos's initial favorability towards him was good, so he continued to ask.

"So what's wrong with you? Maybe I can help you?"

"...bugs, very noisy!"

"You mean the bug-like creature disturbed your rest?"

"Ah."

Li En frowned slightly. It was clearly written on Ramos's rank panel - Legend.

And the place that could cause trouble to someone like Ramos happened to be Shurima.

There is no doubt that the answer is written on his face.

"Is the Void active again..."

Li En's mind was full of thoughts.

"Ramos, is the place where the 'bug' is located far away?"

Hearing Li En's words, Ramos raised his arm covered with emerald green scales and three sharp claws, and pointed in the distance in the direction he came from.

Although Ramos did not specify the distance, he could sense the sounds of Li En and Nasus fighting, so it shouldn't be too far away.

For Uzeris's safety, Li En decided to eliminate this hidden danger.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

"Ah."

Ramos blinked, and Li En saw that the bond value on the panel jumped up by 1%.

With his limbs curled up, Ramos was about to start rolling.

"Wait a minute Ramos, I have to go talk to my lover, it will take a few minutes."

Ramos stopped rolling upon hearing this and looked at Li En with his bright yellow eyes.

Although he still didn't say anything, Li En knew that Ramos agreed.

Nodding with a smile, Li En activated [Dimensional Walking] and returned directly to Uzeris.
