Legends of Runeterra

As the long wolf howl sounded, Li En was quietly pulled into another dimension.

Looking at the slender figure wearing a mask and holding a longbow not far away, Li En didn't wait for him to say hello.

"Shua~!"

"Bang~!"

The snow-white and furry wolf head crashed into Li En's arms.

"That's amazing, Li En, you really did it! You defeated the Ruined King!"

"Haha~! Since I promised you, I will definitely complete it."

As Li En spoke, he stroked the wolf spirit skillfully.

“Hulu~! Hulu~!

Yes, scratch my chin again. Lambs never scratch me, and I don’t have claws. No one has scratched me since we parted last time!”

"Wolf!"

"It's okay, Yang Ling, it's just something that comes to mind."

"Hehe~! That's right, Li En doesn't care, why are you in such a hurry?"

After rolling a few times in Li En's arms, the wolf spirit flew up again, its eyes piercing through the dimensional barrier, staring closely at the 'black mud' formed by the curse of ruin.

"Oh my! There are so many resentful souls who don't want to accept death. How long will it take for me to finish eating them?"

The wolf spirit's eyes sparkled as he spoke, his snow-white sharp teeth rubbing against each other involuntarily.

"Wolf, this time is different. They are all poor fellows enslaved by the Curse of Ruin. They are not actively resisting rebirth!"

"Of course I know, Yang, you're such a killjoy. Can't you just let me get a little excited?"

Ignoring the wolf spirit that was playing tricks in the air and looked like a husky, the masked sheep spirit looked at Li En.

"Thank you very much, Li En. If it weren't for your help, Viego, who controls the Curse of Ruin, would definitely cause big problems in the Life and Death Realm of Runeland!"

"You're too polite, Miss Yang Ling. As friends, we should help each other.

Besides, the Ruinous Curse affects both the living and the dead. We can't ignore its problem, and there's no need to talk about whether to help or not, right?"

"Yeah, that's right, we are friends!

Come, Li En, scratch me again."

The wolf spirit jumped around with its chin resting on Li En's shoulder. If an uninformed person saw their intimate look, they would probably think that Li En was the twin who shot the 'Arrow of Rest' in the legend.

"...I understand. Let's go, Wolf. It's our turn to save these resentful souls!"

"Ouch~~!"

"Um...is there anything I can do?"

"Awoo! Li En, just take a good rest. Leave everything to us from now on!"

Seeing Yang Ling nodded, Li En stopped forcing it.

...

Outside, under the gaze of everyone, Li En disappeared for less than a minute and then reappeared in the sky.

"Go, Wolf!"

"Ouch~~!"

Along with the long and excited wolf howls that resounded through the sky, a circular, dusk-like misty ring rose up around the 'black mud' with a diameter of one kilometer.

"Tortured souls, please rest in peace~!"

Above the 'black mud', a complicated magic array instantly enveloped the space shrouded by the foggy ring.

"Buzz~~!"

A purple-white light lit up, and the magic circle was instantly filled.

The people who were looking from afar, seeing the purple and white light, felt a sense of tranquility and peace rising from the bottom of their hearts.

"Wow~!"

Under the shining light, the 'black mud' surged unnaturally and resisted.

"Ouch~~!"

The soul closest to the periphery let out a shrill wail under the illumination of the light, and then the curse embedded in that dark and hideous soul was gradually purified.

The dark soul gradually turned into a misty white; the ferocious face also slowly calmed down.

Finally, the souls that were completely purified and liberated all saluted in one direction, and then turned into a bright white light and flew towards the purple-white light in the sky.

People in the distance were quietly watching the scene which looked like a meteor shower rising from the ground.

"They... this is..."

"Go to the afterlife, Ahri."

"In the past...life?"

"Freed from the curse, I gained eternal peace."

Listening to Senna's explanation, Ahri nodded as if she understood.

...

The purifying of the 'Curse of Ruin' becomes more difficult the deeper you go.

When the nearly one thousand meter long 'black mud' shrank to a hundred meters in size, the remaining curse was essentially the part of the curse that had been sublimated by Viego who had previously stepped into the 'demigod' realm.

Looking at the 'black mud' that did not move at all under the purple-white light, Li En was about to ask Qian Jue if he needed help.

"Buzz~~!"

"Um!?"

Under Li En's gaze, the 'black mud' cracked open, and dark green undead power emerged from it, but this power did not have any hostility.

“Crack! Crack!”

Under the dual effects of the power of the undead and the purple-white purifying light, cracks gradually appeared on the surface of the 'black mud'.

"Bang~!"

'Black mud' disintegrates.

"Hoo~!"

One was dark green, the other was light blue, and two broken bodies emerged from the constantly disintegrating "black mud".

Looking up at Qian Jue and Li En in mid-air, Isolde and Viego leaned on each other and supported each other, bowing deeply to them.

next moment.

"Buzz~~!"

The two hugged each other tightly.

Li En watched quietly as Viego and Isolde suppressed the restlessness and resistance of the 'Curse of Ruin' and allowed the purifying light to shine on them.

With the cooperation of the two, the speed of the magic circle to eliminate the curse instantly reached a new level.

suddenly.

"Buzz~~!"

The curse power, which had been relatively stable, suddenly became active.

"Uh...ah..."

Viego and Isolde both groaned in pain.

“Crack~!”

The magic circle standing in mid-air also made an ominous sound.

"Ouch~! Li En, come and help!"

The wolf spirit instantly appeared in front of Li En, gently bit his sleeve and pulled it.

"Hoo~!"

The next moment, the two appeared in a space filled with purple-white light.

In the center of the space, the sheep spirit whose mask had disappeared was floating in the air with a painful look on his face.

"Wolf, what happened?"

"Li En, the power of the Curse of Ruin suddenly went out of control. The Sheep Spirit, the main body of purification, is already on the verge of its limit. If this continues, not only will the curse fail to purify, but even the Sheep Spirit..."

“Tell me what to do!”

"This...you..."

"Hurry up and tell me, Wolf!"

Under Li En's gaze, the wolf spirit gritted his teeth.

"Soul connection! As long as you, Li En, are willing to establish a soul connection with Yang Ling, then you can..."

"Okay, just tell me what to do!"

"Uh, hold her, put your foreheads together, and leave it to me..."

Before the wolf spirit could finish speaking, Li En opened his arms, hugged the sheep spirit in his arms, and gently placed his forehead against his.

A light, soothing aroma hits your nose.

Holding each other gently, Li En could feel that Yang Ling's figure was much smaller than she looked.

"Start quickly!"

"Oh well!"

"Ouch~~!"

A long wolf howl sounded, and the wolf spirit circled around the two of them, and finally merged silently with the sheep spirit.

The originally faint peaceful fragrance quietly became stronger.

Smelling the fragrance, Li En felt sleepy instantly. He did not resist and gently closed his eyes.
