Legends of Runeterra

Chapter 1034 Sublimation [Destined Death]

Staring at the slender figure emerging from the shadows, Swain's expression didn't change at all.

As early as in Ionia, Swain had already noticed Ram's problem from the six-eyed crows flying all over the battlefield.

After the war, he mentioned this matter during a conversation with Li En, and under the other party's guidance, he terminated the contract with Ram.

Although he had lost the power to monitor the entire Immortal Fortress at any time, Swain felt more and more relaxed during the period of the contract being terminated.

Swain did not recognize the mysterious, strange and uncontrollable demonic power.

Swain stood up and bowed slightly to the newcomer.

"Good day, Pale Woman..."

"Commander-in-Chief, please call me Hilda or Reyes."

LeBlanc interrupted Swain with a smile.

After realizing Li En's level of strength, Leblanc realized that her previous disguise was useless against Li En.

Whether it's LeBlanc, the Pale Lady, or many other fabricated identities, LeBlanc doesn't care about any of them now.

There was only one thing, and that was Hilda Reyes.

From now on, she will live with this identity.

This is her response to Li En's 'love'. No matter when or where, she only recognizes this identity.

"Yes, Ms. Hilda, please take a seat."

Swain had long since let go of his past thoughts and maintained his courtesy and respect for this man who was once the shadow behind the empire and was now extremely close to the "god-like" Li En.

Upon seeing this, Du Kecao immediately bowed to both of them and took his leave.

When there were only two of them left in this huge study, Swain sat upright, looking at the other person calmly.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Hilda. I have no ill will towards Li En. It's just that I don't quite understand his plans for the future of Noxus, so I'm asking..."

"Well, I understand. The reason I came here uninvited this time is because I was asked by Li En to convey his words to you, the Commander-in-Chief."

"I see. I'd like to hear more details!"

After realizing that it was about Lien, Swain immediately used honorifics, and Hilda smiled slightly.

"It's actually very simple. First, Li En asked me to ask you, Commander-in-Chief, do you still remember your original goal?"

"this..."

The seemingly simple question made Swain more serious.

"Ms. Hilda, could you please allow me a moment to think about this?"

"Of course, please."

"Thank you."

After saying thank you, Swain frowned slightly and thought carefully.

"..."

After four or five minutes, Swain finally looked up at the figure sitting opposite him.

"Ms. Hilda."

"Oh, Commander-in-Chief, have you made up your mind?"

"Yes, my original goal, or rather my goal all along, is to make Noxus even greater!"

"..."

Hilda stared at Swain with an aristocratic, elegant smile until the figure sitting opposite her began to breathe slightly faster.

"Haha~! Very good, your goal is exactly the same as what Li En said.

So... Commander-in-Chief, the second and final sentence, Li En asked me to tell you..."

...

"'Noxus is now in a state of deep distress and in need of restoration. Its future lies in the hands of you and the Noxian people.'"

"Commander-in-Chief, Li En...isn't he greedy for the supreme position at all!?"

"Ha! 'Supreme', Darius, do you really think the position of 'Grand Commander' is supreme?"

"..."

"Okay, actually, my first reaction was also disbelief. Li En really has no interest in the entire Noxus. But do you know what Cang... Lady Hilda said?"

"I respectfully await the instructions of the Commander-in-Chief."

"Okay, there's no need for this between you and me."

Waving his hand, Swain put away the smile on his face, and his eyes became increasingly profound.

"She told me... not to try to understand God with a human mindset!"

"..."

Darius fell silent, unable to respond to Swain.

After a long time, Swain's slightly dazed eyes gradually came back to their senses.

"Haha! Who could have imagined that from the cruel and tyrannical Noxus, and the cultivation of the Lord of the Black Rose, such a forgiving and loving 'god' could emerge?"

"In that case, Commander-in-Chief... let's just do it!"

Darius raised his head, his eyes burning as he stared at Swain.

"Now that Noxus has taken away the biggest piece of rotten flesh, it is the best time for us to achieve our goal!"

"Well, that's true, but Darius, there's one thing we have to change!"

"What changes?"

"Noxus was once a war-fueled chariot, on an unstoppable, relentless charge toward destruction.

Even if we know this fatal drawback, it is difficult to forcibly change the trend that has accumulated over thousands of years.

But now, with Noxus's chronic illnesses completely gone and so much to rebuild, why don't we create something new and explore a path that will truly carry Noxus through the next millennium, or even beyond! "

"..."

"Darius, I will give you everything for Noxus!"

"Haha! I understand your conviction. Get ready, General Darius. What lies ahead is a challenge far more difficult than shedding blood on the battlefield!"

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!"

...

'Ding! The fusion and sublimation of the bond talent [Destined Death] has been completed. Please check it in time.'

That day, just as Li En got dressed and was about to go out for morning exercise, the system's prompt sounded.

After dealing with characters such as Mordekaiser and Karthus, the system prompted Li En that he could obtain a new bond talent, or merge and sublime it with the bond talent [Fated Death].

Rather than taking a gamble on a new bond talent with uncertain effects, it would be better to directly upgrade [Fated Death] to make it even more supermodel, so Li En decisively chose the latter.

During this period of time, the fusion and sublimation was finally completed, and Li En couldn't wait to open the talent panel.

-----------------

【Destined Death】Give death its own death!

Additional Talent Effect 1: [Soul Refining Prison]

The host can independently choose every being killed by his own hands and drag them into the Soul Refining Prison, extracting all the essence of the other party and improving his own quality.

Additional Talent Effect 2: [Lord of Death]

Mark the enemy's soul, and after completely killing it, revive the enemy and make it your puppet.

Puppets can assist in combat, but can also bear damage for their hosts, or even take their place in death.

(Note: Only those with equal status can replace death, otherwise they can only withstand the upper limit of their own damage before being destroyed!)

-----------------

"Ah... I thought I could die indefinitely, but I was so excited for nothing."

Looking at the introduction on the talent panel, Li En couldn't help but smile as his hard work and sweat paid off again.

"Hahaha~!"

"Woo~! Ouch, what are you doing Lee En? Go out and have some fun, let me sleep in... Yeah~!"

Ali looked at the person in front of her, and observed around with the corner of her eyes. Apart from her who loved to sleep in, there was no one else at the moment. Suddenly, a pitiful look appeared on her face.

"Li... Li En... I went to bed very late yesterday. Let me sleep a little longer. Um... you... don't you want to do morning exercises?"

"Yes, this is morning exercise."

"Woo..."

Ali couldn't help but close her eyes, but the next moment a hand gently rubbed her head.

"Huh? Li En, you..."

When he opened his eyes, those dark, gentle eyes looked at her with a hint of smile.

"Go back to sleep, I'm leaving now."

"Don't, Li En, if you really..."

"Okay, go to sleep and I'll call you after breakfast."

"Well, I want to eat the dumplings you made!"

"no problem."

"Hehe~!"
