Legends of Runeterra

Chapter 1036 Pallas Temple

Nestalan Forest, an archipelago southeast of Ionia.

Deep in the forest, the Temple of Pallas, which was once broken by Noxian soldiers and caused the Darkin Varus to break the seal and collapse, now stands again in the forest.

However, compared to its former ancient grandeur, this temple is undoubtedly a little smaller now.

“Tap~tap~tap~!”

Steady and rhythmic footsteps sounded on the bluestone slabs, and a tall and straight figure walked along the road.

Until the Temple of Pallas appeared before him, and in front of the temple, a figure with white hair simply tied with hemp rope and the whole body covered in a monk's robe immediately came forward.

The skin on his exposed face was extremely pale, yet gave people an air of indestructibility.

"Good day, Lord Li En!"

Two overlapping male voices came from the mouth of a white-haired man dressed as a monk, echoing faintly in the quiet forest.

"Good day, Valmao, Kai, how have you been lately?"

"Lord Li En, we are living well. The Order of the Balance has testified for us, and the people in the village have recognized and accepted our existence.

However, we still have the Darkin within us, so we chose to retreat to this Temple of Pallas, reciting scriptures daily in the hope of sealing the Darkin away forever."

"Well, you two are thoughtful."

Li En smiled and nodded, affirming what Valmao and Kai did.

Despite the means he left behind, it actually doesn't matter whether you recite the scriptures or not. In other words, if the scriptures could seal the 'Darkin', then the 'Darkin Rebellion' in ancient times would not be so terrible.

"Master Li En, please follow me. We have already prepared tea for you."

"Ok."

Led by the 'two people' who were three souls in one, they came to a simple yet harmonious and natural quiet room and sat down.

After serving hot tea to Li En, the 'two' sat down opposite Li En in a serious manner.

Li En took a sip of tea, put down the cup and looked at the 'two people'.

"You two, I came here today specifically because I'm confident that I can handle your current situation. What do you think?"

"this..."

Upon hearing this news suddenly, the 'two' were both stunned.

After their expressions changed several times, the 'two' finally looked at Li En.

"Lord Li En, may I ask if what you mean by confidence is that we can completely separate the two of us from this 'Darkspawn'?"

This is Valmao's voice.

"of course."

Li En nodded.

"But after the separation, what will happen to the sealed 'Darkspawn'? Wouldn't He..."

"Haha~! Have you forgotten how I suppressed Varus's consciousness and let you take the lead?

Just a Darkin who has been sealed for a long time. For me now, it is just a matter of suppressing him with a backhand."

"In that case, Lord Li En, we are willing to do so!"

"Very good, how about we start now?"

"No problem, is there anything I can do for you?"

"There's nothing for you to do. Just get some sleep and everything will return to how it was before."

"Yes, thank you Master Li En!"

The two of them stood up and bowed respectfully to Li En with gratitude.

"Om~!"

Golden-red flames rose up, covering the 'two people', or more precisely, Varus used blood magic to twist and tear the bodies of Valmao and Kai, and then reshaped their bodies.

The two people who were still in the saluting posture closed their eyes and immediately fell into a deep sleep.

Li En didn't care. He manipulated the golden-red flame to control the body. Then he penetrated his will and directly tore through the heavy defenses set up by Varus and entered the soul world of the Darkin.

"Die!!"

“Tear it up~!”

There was a hint of deep purple in the scarlet, and the sharp soul arrow instantly came to Li En's face.

In the distance, Varus, who shot the arrow, had a ferocious and happy expression on his face.

He, the dignified 'Arrow of Punishment' Varus, whether he is a god-warrior or a darkin, both of these identities are existences with even a trace of glory that mortals cannot touch.

But this man named 'Li En'... or rather, the monster, forcibly suppressed His consciousness, allowing the two lowly and foolish mortal souls to control the powerful and majestic body of the Darkin.

Not to mention that he had vaguely felt the call that swept across the entire 'Runeland' long ago. It was the Darkin's call to his compatriots, but he could not respond at all. He could only be manipulated by two mortal souls to stay in this shameful sealed place.

This kind of hatred is unforgettable.

This arrow was made with His utmost effort, and He vowed to make Li En feel the wrath of the Darkin.

As long as it hits, even this monster that can control the power of the void will...

"when!!"

The scarlet arrow with a hint of purple hit Li En's forehead unhindered. However, with the sound of clanging metal, it dissipated and turned into a scarlet wind, blowing across Li En's face and drifting into the endless darkness behind him.

"What a thoughtful welcome ceremony, Varus. At least... you've made great progress compared to last time."

Looking at Li En, whose face was gentle and calm, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, Varus felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. Although he was in a spiritual state, his dry and itchy throat could not utter even a complete sentence except for a dry "ho ho" sound.

“Tap~tap~tap~!”

Li En walked into the dark and empty soul world, but the sound of footsteps could be clearly heard.

It seems to be some kind of invisible and intangible force, or momentum?

With every step Li En took towards Varus, the heavy pressure multiplied exponentially.

“Tread~!”

"Plop~!"

When Li En came and stood three meters away from Varus, the immeasurable pressure far exceeded that of an entire mountain and forced Varus to kneel on the ground in shame.

A boiling blood mist surged on the surface of the scarlet soul, but no matter how Varus struggled, he was still trapped in this posture.

Not to mention breaking free, he couldn't even utter a roar or a roar.

It took a long time until the boiling blood mist on the surface of the soul gradually weakened.

"How about it, Varus, do you realize the gap between you and me?"

When Li En's calm voice sounded, Varus found that although he could not move, he could still make a sound.

then.

"You damn..."

"Bang~!"

It was clearly empty darkness, but when Varus's head fell, a dull sound was heard.

"I..."

"Bang~!"

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
