Legends of Runeterra

The maw of meanness.

Perhaps only the Undead Lords know when this hideous giant spider landed on the Shadow Island.

During these hundreds of years, it has been entrenched in Helia, the origin of the outbreak of the Curse of Ruin, the former capital of the Blessed Islands.

Under the ground of this ruined city, he constantly draws on the power of the Curse of Ruin to improve his strength.

It took Viego thousands of years to fully awaken, and this giant spider had some credit for that.

As for why the Undead Lords did not expel and stop them, Kalista, the only loyal one among this group of guys, had already become an evil spirit filled with revenge and resentment, without any rationality at all.

As for Thresh and Hecarim, if the Curse of the Ruin had not forcibly controlled them, the two would have wished that Viego would never wake up. The actions of the Maw of Vileness were exactly what they wanted.

Finally, there is Karsus, who landed on the island hundreds of years later and became the Lord of the Undead. This guy was only obsessed with singing praises of death with the undead, and did nothing else.

After Viego woke up, he attacked the Despicable Throat, which had been stealing power. The big spider fled in panic after being severely injured.

Hiding in a dark cave to recuperate, it called out to its only priest.

...

"Cough cough cough~!"

The stinging pain in her throat, like a knife cutting through it, made Iris cough uncontrollably.

She opened her eyes blankly. Through those eyes that were no longer human, Iris could clearly see that there were originally densely packed spider cocoons around her, but now she was the only one left.

"So soon... Hundreds of sacrifices... Now I am the only one left..."

Iris tried to move her body, but her limbs showed no response.

Iris, who was familiar with the evil god's methods, already knew that at this moment, except for her head, her body had already been turned into sweet juice by the venom, waiting for the evil god to enjoy it.

The stinging pain continued to rise from the throat, and it was obvious that the venom was ready to corrode and dissolve the last spot.

'The last sacrifice is actually me...

It's really... ironic...'

Iris's dim eyes stared at the deep cave in the distance, but her heart was surprisingly calm at this moment.

Hundreds of years of her life flashed through her mind, from her pursuit of power to witnessing the darkness deep within Noxus and being transformed into a follower of the evil god that could not be disobeyed.

After gaining immortality, he continued to move between the Evil God and the Pale Lady.

Finally, at the call of the Vicious Maw, he came to the Shadow Isles with an unprecedented number of sacrifices, but the evil god, who was still seriously injured, mercilessly hung him up along with the sacrifices and injected him with venom.

“Sizzle~Sizzle~Sizzle~!”

A sharp sound like a blade scraping across rock was heard, and a hideous and huge figure slowly crawled out of the cave in the darkness.

Its huge body was several times larger than the twisted tree spirit Maokai, but it made no other sound except the sound of the bristles on its legs scraping against the rocks.

The figure of the evil god was reflected in her dark red eyes, but a disdainful smile appeared at the corner of Iris's mouth.

Where once there were ten legs of varying sizes, covered in bristles and an armor-like shell, only seven remain.

Four on the left and three on the right, such an uncoordinated appearance makes this hideous and terrifying beast look more miserable.

"Hi~!"

A high-pitched, sharp sound came from its mouthparts, and its eight eyes arranged in opposite directions stared at the cocoon wrapped in Iris, cold and dead, without revealing any emotion at all.

"Uh..."

Iris, who had already been seriously injured and on the verge of death and was hanging on for her last breath, felt the venom in her body eroding at an accelerated rate again, and she groaned weakly and in pain.

“Crack! Crack! Crack!”

The two huge fangs collided gently, and seeing Iris in so much pain, the Despicable Throat became even more delighted.

The reason I transformed this follower in the beginning was just out of my own greed and for the worst-case scenario.

Hundreds of years later, Vile Maw was still unable to take the final step to become a demigod. Instead, Viego woke up and severely damaged it.

Fortunately, the Undead Lord holding the lantern reminded it, and Viego was not mainly concerned with taking its life, so the Vicious Throat was able to escape from Helia.

Then it issued a call, asking its follower to come with a large amount of sacrifice.

Now, with the nourishment of hundreds of evil souls and the reserves of power from the Curse of Ruin that it had devoured for hundreds of years, the injuries caused by Viego have finally recovered.

Now all it needs to do is eat this priest who has been cultivated for hundreds of years, and its injuries will be healed to the point where it will not affect its strength.

If there is a chance, it will stay and devour Viego. If there is no chance, it will just run away.

"Boom~!"

With five limbs nailed to the ground at the back of its body, Vile Throat stood up, its hideous head just level with Iris.

“Crack! Crack!”

The two huge fangs collided with each other, and then slowly extended towards Iris.

The Vile Maw knew that its priest was still conscious, but it wanted Elise to watch it die step by step.

Only a soul that is desperate and resentful enough can satisfy this greedy and vicious evil god.

Iris opened her mouth, but her throat, which had long been corroded by the venom, could not make any sound.

'Haha~! A spider dies in its web, how absurd and funny.'

Her dim eyes had no focus, and in a trance, a familiar figure seemed to flash before Iris' eyes.

"It's really hard to accept that the fruit is ripe but I haven't tasted it yet~!"

“Swish~!”

"Boom~!"

Scarlet lightning and golden-red flames suddenly appeared.

"Sneak attack!"

"Boom~!"

With a cold shout, the ferocious and majestic dragon claws directly slammed into the abdomen of the despicable throat who was standing up.

"Boom~!"

The huge body slammed heavily into the wall of the cave, and countless poisonous bristles on the spider's body flew in all directions, and the rocks that were pierced quickly collapsed and melted in a few breaths.

Ignoring the Despicable Throat that was knocked away, Li En waved his hand at the spider cocoon that wrapped Iris.

"Stab~!"

"Crack~!"

Li En hugged the falling Iris, but the feeling he got made him frown slightly.

Except for the head, all the limbs under the clothes were soft as if the bones had been pulled out. After falling into Li En's arms, it swayed a few times like a balloon filled with water.

Obviously, the muscles, bones, and organs beneath Iris's skin had all melted away.

But even so, at least Li En arrived before the Vicious Maw ate her.

Li En breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face.

"Long time no see, Teacher Iris."

"..."

Her dark red eyes widened, and Iris moved her mouth but no sound came out.

Only from Iris's sudden rise in vitality could one vaguely feel her excitement and disbelief.
