Legends of Runeterra

The westernmost peak of the Giant God Mountains is icy and sharp, but a refreshing and clear cold wind blows through the mountains.

On a flat ground sheltered from the wind, a round tent was quietly stationed in this deserted area.

"Crack~!"

The dry wood made sounds as it burned in the fire, the snow in the stone pot had begun to melt, the warmth grew, and the tent was filled with the aroma of a mixture of dry tea leaves and light mountain herbs.

One tall and one short, the two beings could be seen at a glance as not being mortal beings, sitting by the fire in the middle of the tent.

Facing Soraka's gentle and tolerant gaze, Zoe curled up her cute white toes a little uneasily.

"Good...good day, Lady Soraka."

Zoe was well-behaved yet a little guilty, just like a naughty child who met her gentle mother, and was very honest.

It's no wonder Zoe is like this.

In the vast starry sky, all the giants know that Runeland is a most special planet - it contains great secrets.

This secret is so great that even the giant gods saw the opportunity to peek into the realm of the Supreme Being.

However, while all the Titans came to Runeland in the form of Astral Spirits by borrowing mortal bodies, there was one Titan who directly entered this world by degrading himself.

Yes, Soraka is a benevolent giant god, but no one really thinks that there is an incompatible contradiction between kindness and fighting ability, right?

There are many factions among the Titans, all of which covet the secrets hidden in Runeterra.

In this situation, being able to descend to the Runelands and walk on this land without any opposition or obstruction from the giant gods is itself a manifestation of strength.

Now facing this giant god alone, even Zoe, who has a very good relationship with the Twilight Giant God and can use his power without restrictions, still shows respect.

"Hehe~! Hello Zoe."

Soraka poured boiling hot water into the cup, and the fragrance of tea leaves immediately lingered in the air.

Facing the teacup handed to her, Zoe took it with both hands.

"Thank you, Lady Soraka."

"You're welcome."

Zoe put the cup to her lips, and the scalding hot tea turned to the most suitable temperature the moment it touched her lips.

"Zoe."

"Yes, Lady Soraka."

Facing Zoe's somewhat nervous gaze, Soraka gave a gentle smile.

"Regarding Li En, now is not the right time. I hope you won't bother him for now, okay?"

"... Can't we just be... friends?"

"When the time is right in the future, you can naturally become friends with him."

"Okay...Okay..."

The moment Zoe agreed, she felt that an invisible contract had been signed.

Before that opportunity came, she was bound and unable to go and disturb and change Li En.

"Haha~! Want some more?"

"Hey~! No thanks, thank you for your hospitality Ms. Soraka."

Hearing the intention of seeing her off in the words, Zoe, who had wanted to leave for a long time, blinked mischievously, waved her hand, and disappeared into the space passage.

Sitting by the fire, Soraka sipped her tea quietly.

She already knew Twilight Spirit's character, so it was normal for her to try to exploit loopholes in the contract. But by the time Zoe found a loophole, Li En would probably have grown enough to face Zoe head-on.

If that doesn't work, she doesn't mind adding some additional terms to the contract.

...

The top of Mount Targon, the closest point in Runeterra to the astral plane.

"Hoo~!"

Feeling the glow of the star world shining on her, Zoe breathed a sigh of relief and a mischievous smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Soraka's personal involvement actually made her more curious about Li En.

Although a contract was made, Zoe is a Twilight Star Spirit, and as everyone knows, Twilight Star Spirits' favorite thing to do is to stir up trouble.

"Hey~! I'll find a way, right?"

Zoe cut a circular passage and went in again.

She planned to catch three blue butterflies in Ionia.

To ask why, because Zoe wants to do this.

...

"Haaa~!"

Gently moving Wei's arm away, Li En activated [Dimensional Walking] and quietly returned to his room in the Fulgrim Tavern.

As soon as he stepped on the floor, Li En saw his goddess lying on the bed with the quilt in her arms, staring at him with clear azure eyes.

"Huh? Good morning, Janna."

"Morning, Li En."

"I'm going to try to communicate with that Darkin. Want to join me?"

"Well, okay!"

Janna lifted the quilt, floated in front of Li En, and gently held him in her arms.

"Thank you, Li En. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known that there was such a terrifying existence lurking in Zaan!"

"Haha~! This is not your fault, Janna. You were extremely weak at the time, and it was the Protoss who chose to place the Darkin in Zaun. It's normal that you didn't notice it when those guys deliberately concealed it."

"Lee En~!"

The goddess' perfect face leaned towards Li En, and her crystal clear lips pressed against him.

...

A few minutes later, Li En, who was busy with his work, used his iron will to pull his hands out of the clothes that looked like white gauze and silk.

"Hoo~!"

The refreshing minty scent in his mouth made Li En feel refreshed.

"Sorry Janna, dealing with the Darkin is more important. Let's finish that first."

"Hmm~!"

Janna, leaning in Li En's arms, responded softly, her elf-like pointed ears already dyed pink.

After walking out of the door and giving some instructions, Li En activated [Dimensional Walking] in a place where no one could notice, taking Janna who was undetectable to mortals.

"Om~!"

On the sea far away from the twin cities, Li En appeared quietly and stood in the air with Janna.

Although Stellatu poses no threat to Li En, the Darkin was, after all, an ascended warrior in his past, and he might have all kinds of strange and bizarre methods.

Considering the safety of those around him, Li En still went to the uninhabited sea to deal with the other party.

"I'm going to start, Janna."

"OK, all right!"

"Hoo~!"

The power of wind unfolded, covering an area of ​​several kilometers.

It’s not that it can’t be expanded to a larger size, but there is no need to do so.

Looking at Janna with a serious expression, Li En smiled slightly, then reached into his magic pocket with his left hand and took out the Darkin Harp.

"Om~!"

The scarlet light brightened slightly, but when it sensed who had touched it, it immediately dissipated and turned into a strange-looking harp that was a combination of a weapon and a musical instrument.

"Haha~! Are you being obedient now? But it's a little late.

I know you can hear me, come out and talk, Darkin."

"..."

The dark red harp showed no reaction, just like an ordinary object.

"Lee En..."

"It's okay, Janna. I'll just use courtesy before force. Since she doesn't want to come out, I'll go in and talk to her."

"Ah? Is this... okay?"

Janna, a goddess whose faith declined due to an order from Shurima, was once bullied to some extent. She still has some fear in her heart for the highest fighting force representative of Shurima.

Li En noticed this and reached out to hold Janna.

"Of course, let's go together!"

"Om~!"

A brilliant and deep purple light lit up, and with the cooperation of Janna, part of the two's consciousness followed the hole that Li En forcibly tore open and entered the inner world of the Darkin weapon.
