Legends of Runeterra

"Come on, Li En, let's go this way."

Kasa pointed to an irregular tunnel with a diameter of only one meter.

"Ah? If we run into a void bug..."

"No, you see."

Kasa broke off a piece of debris from the edge of the tunnel, exerted a little force with her palm, and the debris fell to the ground like powder.

"The nutrients here have been drained away, and no void bugs will come back.

And even if it is used as a walking passage, they will not use such inefficient tunnels when traveling in groups.

We go this way, which will help us avoid running into Zerg swarms or Void Followers to the greatest extent possible."

"oh, I understand now."

Kasa nodded, then bent down and entered the tunnel.

Li En, who was following behind, had a perfect peach heart in front of him that could not be concealed by the symbiotic armor, but what concerned him more was the restless [Void] in his body.

'...'

'Be patient [Void], continue to conceal Kaisa's aura.'

'...'

[Void], which received Li En's order, concealed Kassadin's breath fluctuations in an incomprehensible way.

Li En discovered the above problem as early as when he observed the purple pendant.

Rather than saying that Kassadin discovered the conspiracy of the Void Sect, it would be more accurate to say that the other party was using "fishing" to trick Kassadin into coming to them.

"It's just that... is it really necessary to make such a big fuss just for a 'hero' rank Kai'Sa..."

Sensing the faint breath coming from not far away, Li En frowned slightly.

"Bang~!"

With a slight sound, Li En, who was thinking, bumped into something that was hard yet flexible.

"Right..."

Kassadin had already put away his helmet, with an indelible shock lingering on his face, and his index finger raised to his lips. Li En immediately understood and stopped talking.

After all, it was his sudden retreat that caused it, so Kassadin didn't care about Li En's accidental detour.

She leaned sideways against the tunnel wall and waved to Li En to come forward.

Seeing this, Li En also crawled over quietly without making any sound.

It's just that because Kassa has pods on her shoulders that fire light bullets, the two of them are inevitably close to each other in this tunnel with a diameter of about one meter.

Kassa's keen five senses could easily sense the pleasant scent on Li En, and her heartbeat quickened slightly.

Even though she realized that her behavior was a bit rash, Kassadin couldn't let Li En retreat.

She blinked and pointed her index finger at the tunnel exit that extended diagonally upward half a meter away.

Li En nodded, and the two of them carefully crawled towards the exit.

‘Fuck! ! ’

Li En's brows were tightly furrowed, and his uncomfortable expression could be simply described as 'subway, old man, mobile phone.jpg'.

Compared with the original underground cave of the hell for trypophobia patients which was tens of kilometers wide, it was much smaller. What appeared before their eyes was an underground cave with a diameter of about one kilometer and a height of more than two hundred meters.

But the weird, twisted, disgusting feeling is even better.

Looking around, the ground was covered with blood and flesh mud that was from scarlet to black and whose thickness was uncertain, and there were purple and black lines in it that were deeply embedded in it.

They draw nutrients from the mud of flesh and blood, grow out of it in twisted and entangled forms, and form purple-black trees full of absurdity and blasphemy.

With their extraordinary vision, the two of them were able to clearly see that the seemingly twisted branches were actually the limbs of normal lives that had been stripped off and their flesh and blood squeezed out, and then melted together with their dry bones.

Whether they were animals or humans, their hideous and painful faces showed endless fanaticism as they all looked towards the center of the underground cave.

There, there is an altar with a diameter of 100 meters, made of obsidian, as if it was formed by the rapid cooling of magma.

Hundreds of figures in lavender robes stood at various locations on the altar according to some unknown pattern. In the center, a figure in a pure purple robe stood.

A quick glance at everyone showed that everything was ready.

Although they didn't "fish out" the guy who had been sabotaging their operations, it didn't matter at the moment. After all, it was just a casual move. What was really important was today's ceremony.

Take a deep breath and let your body, which is trembling with excitement, slowly calm down.

“Fellow countrymen, after six months, we are finally ready!

Such a large amount of flesh and blood is enough to earn us a little attention from the great void!

Come, fellow citizens, Icathia is calling!

Let us return to the embrace of the void, long live the void!"

"Long live the void!!!"

Unlike Kassadin's confusion, with the help of the [Void] in his body, Li En understood the hissing sound that sounded like a sharp insect whistle.

"Buzz~~!"

The purple-black rhizome connected to the altar lights up.

"Whoa~ whoa~!"

The entire ground, which was piled up with flesh and blood, began to rotate and twist with the altar as the center. The entire altar was greedily devouring the rotten and smelly flesh and blood.

Seeing this, Kasa was about to stand up.

"Crack~!"

"Wait a minute, Kasa!"

"There's no time, Li En. With so much flesh and blood, if we let them complete the sacrifice, who knows what monsters might be summoned!"

"I know, but before I go, let me give you some energy."

Without waiting for Kassadin to reply, Li En's palm pressing on her symbiotic armor lit up.

"Buzz~~~!"

It comes from the deep and gorgeous power of the void.

“Crack! Crack! Crack!”

The symbiotic armor suddenly gained a huge amount of energy, which it digested and absorbed rapidly, and began to undergo subtle deformation and evolution.

Such a drastic evolution directly caused Kaisa, who had long been symbiotically connected with the armor, to bear a double impact.

"Hmm~!"

More than 10 billion neurons in the brain trembled in unison, and the unimaginable extreme pleasure made Kassadin's brain go blank.

After more than ten seconds, Li En's hand left.

"Plop~!"

"Huhuhu~!"

Kassa collapsed to the ground, her body covered with the symbiotic shell trembling slightly.

"Are you okay, Kaisa? Sorry, I didn't expect such a big reaction."

"No...it's okay..."

If her physiological structure had not been different from that of normal humans, Kassa had no doubt that she would have made an even greater fool of herself.

"I feel great, stronger than ever before, thank you Li En!"

"You're welcome. Can you fight now?"

"Of course! I'll lead the charge, and you'll be in charge of the support. If the situation gets bad, evacuate at any time!"

"no problem!"

“Crack~!”

Kai'Sa nodded and the helmet of the symbiotic armor closed.

“Crack~!”

A strange voice sounded, and Kassadin's figure suddenly faded and disappeared.

In Li En's perception, Kassa was running parallel to the ground on the hollow wall of the underground.

"Wow~!"

Below, the sea of ​​flesh and blood was almost completely swallowed up by the altar.

The obsidian altar was covered with blood-red lines and was almost double in size.

The swollen and deformed altar rose and fell, as if it had come alive.

The 'Void Believers' who were originally standing on the altar now had half of their bodies sunk into it.

"Everything will eventually return to the void!!!"

“Take refuge in the void!!!”

"Buzz~~~!"
