Legends of Runeterra

"Leen, they...disappeared?"

"Well, I'm free now. I don't have to suffer from the curse of ruin anymore."

"Oh, that's fine, but Li En, if I..."

"Boom~!"

"Ouch~! Bad boy Li En, why did you hit someone's head again?"

"Don't say anything stupider than that. I won't allow anyone, not even gods, to take away the one I love!"

Facing Li En's calm dark eyes, inexplicable emotions surged up, filling Ahri's heart.

“I…I know~!”

Watching the interaction between Li En and Ahri, Lucian and Senna looked at each other and smiled.

The relationship between the two people who have experienced life and death can no longer be summed up by the phrase "supporting each other in times of adversity", but they were still touched when they saw such a pure and beautiful scene.

Lucian freed one hand and silently held Senna.

Her soft lips pursed slightly, and from an angle that no one could see, Gwen's little hands involuntarily tugged at her beloved skirt.

But the pain coming from the soul fragment in her heart kept reminding Gwen that Queen Isolde, who had created her and given her life, was still in eternal and endless pain.

"Gwen, Gwen, don't be too greedy..."

Gwen reminded herself secretly in her heart and tried hard to suppress the emotions that were also surging because of Li En's words.

"By the way, Li En, don't we still have to fight that lousy... lousy king? Why hasn't he shown up even after all this?"

"It's the Ruined King, Ahri, you remembered it wrong."

"Oh, it's almost the same, Senna. Look at this city, it's all shabby. It's not wrong to call him the King of Shabby."

"Haha~! Ahri, you're right."

Senna chuckled and nodded.

"Let's go, since Viego didn't show up, let's go in and take a look!"

Gwen said, and headed towards the ruined hall.

Looking at Gwen's back, Senna put away her smile and went in with Lucian, who had a serious expression on his face. Li En and Ahri also followed.

As for the reason why Viego did not show up, Li En, Gwen and Senna all knew it very well.

Viego was busy searching for the last two soul fragments of Isolde and was carrying all the soul fragments he had searched for. Even if all the Undead Lords were destroyed, Viego would not come back to take a look.

“Tick, tick, tick!”

In the silent and dilapidated hall, only the sound of people's footsteps echoed.

Although there was not a trace of black fog inside the hall, the extremely dense malice was attacking everyone at all times.

“Shhhhh~!”

The power of the curse collided and dissipated with the barrier set up by Li En.

"Huh? There's no one in here either? Did the rag-and-bone king escape?"

"It's okay Ahri, I have a way to get him back!"

Gwen turned and smiled, then looked at Senna.

The two looked at each other and nodded slightly.

"Gwen and I will perform the ritual to lure Viego back now. Mr. Li En, please."

"Yeah, no problem Senna."

"Leave it to us, Senna!"

Lucian said nothing, but he stared at his wife Senna, with both guns in his hands.

"Let's get started, Senna."

"Ok."

Gwen and Senna stood face to face, two meters apart, and no longer suppressed the soul fragments in their bodies that kept trying to come together.

"Buzz~~!"

Wisps of blue mist-like light floated out from the chests of the two men and gathered between them.

“Hula~!”

Perhaps it was because the Ruined King was deeply obsessed with his lover's soul. The moment the fragments of Isolder's soul appeared, the cursed black fog created by Viego, with the Ruined Hall as its center, swept over like a wave, and the inexplicable fluctuations spread far away.

"Plop~!"

After releasing the soul fragments, Gwen and Senna's bodies softened at the same time.

"Shua~!"

Ahri and Lucian flashed and helped the two men up together.

"Senna!"

"I'm fine Lucian."

Senna said, and quickly squeezed out a little strength to raise her head and look at Gwen opposite her.

"Gwen, Gwen, are you okay?"

"No...it's okay...I'm just...a little tired..."

Although Gwen tried her best to hold herself together, her voice was inevitably weak.

"Om~!"

A shrill green light suddenly appeared.

"Shua~!"

"Boom~!"

The fist, which was surrounded by golden-red flames and scarlet lightning, slammed fiercely into the sharp sword light.

"Dang~~!"

The air turned into a visible shock wave and spread out in all directions.

"Boom~~!"

The ruined hall that once displayed its former glory, after this collision, was like a watermelon exploding from the inside, bursting in all directions.

"Leen!"

"I am fine."

With his back to the crowd and blocking all attacks and impacts, Li En stared at the black fog that had a dark green crack not far away.

“Tick, tick, tick!”

"Finally...Finally...Isolde...my love..."

Gazing at the soul fragments floating in the air and emitting blue light, Viego's face seemed to be filled with both joy and tears.

Raising his deathly pale hand, Viego was holding a simple and ordinary music box.

“Ding ding dong dong~!”

Along with the sound of simple but pleasant music, a nearly complete blue soul light ball emerged between the two little figures in the music box.

"Hoo~!"

Under Gwen's equally expectant gaze, the soul fragments peeled off from the two turned into strands of blue energy that floated towards the light ball and merged with it without any obstruction.

Long before landing on the island, Gwen explained to Li En and others that in order to completely rescue Isolde, her soul must be gathered together first, so no one stopped them and allowed the souls to merge.

"Buzz~~!"

The blue light ball made a buzzing sound, and in the dazzling light, a slender and graceful figure slowly stretched her body.

"Uh...I..."

"Isold!"

A slightly trembling voice sounded, and the slender figure subconsciously looked over.

"Fo...Foiego? Uh...ah..."

The moment she recognized the person in front of her, Isolde let out a low groan of pain.

"Isolde! My beloved, what happened to you!?"

"me..."

The memories after death kept flashing before Isolde's eyes. Due to the unimaginable close connection between the two, the sins committed by Viego also flooded into Isolde's mind.

In Camavia and the Blessed Islands, Viego committed endless murders in order to resurrect himself, and the curse he caused has been causing harm for thousands of years. Unimaginable pain and guilt surged into Isolde's heart.

Gazing at Viego, who was timid but extremely concerned about her not far away, as if he was afraid of losing his beloved, boundless sorrow weighed heavily on Isolde, and she asked her beloved questions full of sadness and self-blame.

"Viego...I have loved you till the very end. Isn't that enough?"
