Legends of Runeterra

As a seamstress from a farming family whose appearance was considered somewhat outstanding by others, Isolde thought she would be like the older seamstresses around her.

An ordinary job, meeting an ordinary man, giving birth to a few ordinary but healthy children, and living an ordinary life.

Until that day, King Viego suddenly appeared before her, confessed his love to her as if it were a child's play, and vowed to marry her.

Yes, 'child's play'.

Even when Isolde wore the crown that belonged to a queen and sat in the gorgeous seat closest to the throne during the wedding banquet, she still felt absurd, trance, and deeply panicked.

But in the following time, Viego's actions reflected his sincerity. No matter how furious the young and energetic king was, as long as Isolde gently spoke to persuade him, his anger would dissipate instantly.

Gradually, Isolde began to try to accept Viego's sudden and irresistible love, and used her kind heart to persuade the young king not to start more wars to conquer other countries.

Although she was always targeted by nobles who wanted to plunder wealth and land through war, the kind-hearted Isolde relied on Viego's love for her and used herself as a bond to unite the royal family and the people.

She also cooperated with Callista who was on the front line, greatly reducing Viego's eagerness to prove himself and start more wars like the previous king.

Everything is moving in a better direction.

But as the poisonous blade scratched Isolde's shoulder, things took a turn for the worst.

The king is unwilling to accept the reality with his corrupt queen, various ambitious people in the kingdom are enjoying the feast of division, and countries outside the kingdom that have been attacked before are raising their armies to attack.

From a seamstress suddenly becoming a queen, all that Isolde had worked for disappeared into thin air, and she was even burdened with endless debts.

“Tick-tick~!”

Tears ran down her face and fell to the ground, suppressed sad sobs sounded, and Isolde's soul was crying.

"No, Isolde, my love, why...why are you weeping?"

"Don't come here!"

Viego, who wanted to step forward, suddenly froze in place. The arrogant King of Ruined King looked at his lover's tears, and he was at a loss as a child who broke his mother's vase.

"Master Isolde..."

A nostalgic and worried voice came from the side, and Isolde subconsciously turned around to look when she heard the call.

The dark blue bow tied the blue curly hair into two ponytails, the face was delicate like a doll, the eyes were very familiar with different colors, and the long skirt was intricate and gorgeous with white background and blue background.

Facing the other person's admiring eyes, an answer that made Isolde a little unbelievable appeared in her mind.

"You're...Gwen!?"

"Great, Master Isolde, you recognized me!"

The doll that looked like a girl suddenly threw itself into Isolde's arms, and Isolde gently stroked Gwen's head as she had done before.

"Gwen...it's...amazing...you actually..."

"Hehe~! This is all a gift from you, Master Isolde~!"

Seeing Isolde come out of her sad state because of Gwen's appearance, Viego immediately wanted to step forward.

"I..."

“Tsk~!”

The tall figure stood in front of the Ruined King, completely obscuring Isolde's figure.

Viego's eyes fixed, and he immediately recognized the black-haired and black-eyed man in front of him. He was the one who summoned the Snake Mother on the night of the "Soul-Eating Night".

"Humanity, for the sake of..."

"Boom~!"

The palm wrapped in golden-red flames and scarlet lightning was pressed hard on Viego's face.

"Boom~!"

When Isolde and the others were attracted by the turbulent air currents, the only thing in their sight was the circular fog that continued to extend into the distance.

...

“Boom~Boom~Boom~!”

Palaces, dead trees, and even mountains and rivers, everything that stood in Li En's way was pierced through by Viego, who was held down by him.

"Boom~!"

An almost red meteor flashed by, and Hecarim, who had been slacking off with Thresh and Vicious Maw, turned his head in confusion after noticing the tacit understanding between them.

"That was just now..."

"Your Majesty Viego!?"

The two Undead Lords stopped attacking tacitly and stared at each other in silence for a while.

"If my feeling is correct, our queen has been resurrected!"

"Let's go and take a look together."

Thresh nodded, then turned to look at the Vicious Maw who was pretending to fight with the Undead, and left the battlefield quietly with Hecarim and headed for the center of Helia.

If Isold's soul can be captured and then linked to himself through forbidden means, the initiative will fall entirely into Thresh's hands.

As for Hecarim, he simply wanted to destroy Isolder's soul, find a way to frame the humans who broke into the Shadow Isles, and then join forces with the mad Viego to launch a bloody massacre across Runeterra.

...

"Shua~!"

Viego, who was suppressed by the golden-red flames and the red lightning, fell to the earth like a meteor.

"Boom~!"

The earth was surging, and mud and rocks were sweeping up like waves, rushing straight into the sky.

“Hula~!”

The surging black fog rose into the sky, sweeping away everything that blocked the view.

A circular impact crater with a diameter of several thousand meters appeared in front of Li En who was floating in the sky.

“Crack! Crack!”

In the center of the pit, wisps of flames and electric arcs still flashed from time to time.

On the ground that had been subjected to high temperature and high pressure and had already turned into glass, the Ruined King Viego stood silently with his head hung.

"Pah~pah~pah~!"

Gently tapping the jumping arcs of electricity on his shoulder armor, Viego slowly floated into the air supported by the black mist, his dark green eyes staring straight at Li En.

"Not bad, human. I admit I underestimated you before.

I wanted to let you leave the Shadow Isles safely in exchange for the fragments of Isolder's soul..."

"Haha~! No, Viego, you think too much.

I am willing to give up the fragment of Isolde's soul, just to fulfill my promise to Gwen.

You saw Isolde's mood just now. She didn't want to communicate with you, so in order to prevent you from disturbing their reunion, I must keep you away."

"Human, she's my queen!!!"

“Oh, so what?

Viego, you are not blind, didn't you see the pain on Isolde's face when he saw you just now? "

"Om~!"

Viego reached his right hand into the black fog, and slowly pulled out the Blade of the Ruined King, which was emitting a faint green light, from the black fog.

"Arrogant human, do you think that the demigod far away in Port Beacon can rescue you?"

"Haha~! Who knows? But today, I just want to smash your crown with one punch, one punch at a time!"

"Isold will once again be by my side, ruling the country; and I will no longer be as destitute as ashes.

All who are defeated will submit to me!!!"

Viego pointed the tip of his sword downward and stabbed hard.

"Buzz~~!"

Endless black fog, with Viego as the center, instantly enveloped the world.

Broken swords, toppled flags, and a capital city engulfed in flames of war.

The vast scorched earth and desolate scenery everywhere.
