Legends of Runeterra

The early morning sunlight shone through the window onto Li En's face. His eyelids trembled slightly, then slowly opened.

Feeling the heaviness in his chest, Li En looked down.

Akali's upper body was lying on Li En's chest like a kitten, with a faint smile on her lips, and she was sleeping soundly at the moment.

Seeing this, Li En closed his eyes again.

"Well.."

With a low moan from his mouth, Li En shook his body gently.

Originally lying on her

Akali on his chest gradually opened her eyes as she was shaken slightly.

After a blank glance, Akali was shocked when she saw Li En's face.

He quickly stood up from Li En's chest and returned to the chair beside him without making any sound.

Then he deliberately took heavier steps and quickly walked to Li En's bed.

"Ah! Master Li En, you're awake. Are you feeling unwell? Would you like some water?"

Akali carefully leaned close to Li En's ear and whispered.

Opening his eyes and looking at Akali who was standing close to him with a concerned look on her face, Li En revealed just the right amount of doubt.

"Uh…Akali? Why am I…here?"

"My Lord, have you forgotten? Yesterday, you over-expended your energy to save my parents and fell into a coma."

As Akali spoke, Li En frowned slightly and thought, then a look of sudden realization appeared on his face.

"Uh, I remember now. Sorry, I was a bit stubborn at that time."

“Master Li En, please don’t say that, you fainted because you were trying to treat my parents.

It was all my carelessness that I didn't notice that you were already very weak at the time."

Looking at Li En, who still looked weak after a night's rest, Akali felt extremely guilty.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I'm almost recovered now!"

Li En raised his hand and rubbed Akali's little head.

"By the way, Shen, Jie, and your parents, what are they doing?"

"Master Li En, they are going to gather and rescue the disciples in the sect. Judging from the time, they should be almost done!"

"Okay, in that case, let's go and take a look!"

As Li En was speaking, he was about to stand up when Akali came over, and with her small hands she gently supported the junction of his neck and back, lifting his upper body up.

"Thank you, I'll do this myself!"

As Li En said this, he stopped Akali from helping him put on his shoes.

After quickly putting on his shoes, Li En stood up and stretched his body a few times.

"Let's go Akali, please lead the way!"

"Master Li En, how about I help you over there?"

"Don't do that. I haven't reached that stage yet. If I go over and let them see this scene, I'm afraid they will probably be scared!"

Listening to Li En's decisive words, Akali thought about it and could only nod helplessly.

Then she took Li En and headed towards the sect hall that had been carefully chosen to house all the believers.

Along the way, Akali, who was walking beside Li En, would secretly glance at Li En's slightly pale face from time to time.

The original impression of Li En as a powerful, majestic, and god-like being who had descended to the mortal world gradually faded.

Combined with the interaction in the room just now, the human side of Li En was revealed in Akali's eyes.

The feeling of being suspended in the clouds and out of reach gradually disappeared, and the corners of Akali's mouth rose slightly.

...

When the two arrived at the hall, they saw rows of believers lying in the hall, and Shen and others walking among them.

The two men did not hide their footsteps. When they saw Li En coming, they immediately moved in front of Li En.

"Lord Li En!"

Li En nodded to his two fellow apprentices, and then he saw the Meimu couple step forward and bow together to express their gratitude.

"Meimu (Tano), thank you for saving my life, sir!"

"Please stand up, both of you. The Order of the Kinkou has protected Ionia for many years. Now it has encountered a great change. As the Dragon Lord, I should help!"

Li En stepped forward and lifted up the Meimu couple, and after some greetings, he looked at Shen.

"Shen, how are the followers doing?"

“Sir, the situation is fine. After you killed the inner demon, the followers were freed from its control and are now in a coma.

We have already set up the magic circle. As long as we remove the remaining shadow power belonging to their inner demons, they will be fine!"

"Okay, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Don't worry, sir. The formation is powered by the mountain gate's spiritual vein. If you wish, please just watch from the side!"

Shen pointed at the futon not far away with a confident look on his face.

"Okay, then I'll come and see the secrets of the Order of the Balance!"

After walking to the futon and sitting down, Akali immediately came to Li En with a tray of tea and poured him a cup obediently.

Li En smiled at her, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then nodded in appreciation.

Akali also smiled, with a few blushes on her face.

From a distance, Mei Mu seemed to be doing the final check of the formation, but in fact, he was focusing all his attention on Li En.

After seeing this scene, his brows frowned for a moment, then quickly disappeared.

Soon, Shen and his companions came to the four corners of the hall, holding an ancient copper lamp in their hands.

Spiritual power lit the copper lamp, and the obscure ancient Ionian language sounded.

As they chanted the spell, the copper lamps suddenly lit up and an invisible wave began to spread between the copper lamps.

"Hoo~!"

The copper lamp glowed brightly, then left the lamp directly, gathered in the air, and turned into the emblem of the Order of the Balance.

"Bang~!"

With a dull sound, the emblem made of fire exploded instantly, and the flames in the sky fell on the believers.

The flames did not burn their clothes, but melted into their bodies like running water.

“Swish!”

Just like a red-hot iron being dropped into water, the believers made this sound and wisps of black smoke, large and small, came out of their bodies.

At the same time, Shen and others standing in the four corners formed seals together.

"Buzz~!"

A blue formation rose up, trapping the black smoke tightly.

Prevent the black smoke from returning to the body of the believers and quickly dissipate the black smoke.

Only when the black smoke stopped rising did the four of them breathe a sigh of relief and end the formation.

While quietly waiting for them to finish their cross-legged meditation, Li En and Akali chatted in low voices.

"Akali, do you know what the formation was just now?"

"Master Li En, I...I don't understand..."

Akali hesitated for a long time, but finally answered honestly.

"Ah this...sorry!"

"This is the secret method of the 'Stargazing' school, and I am from the 'Pruning' school, so I don't really understand it!"

Faced with Li En's somewhat apologetic expression, a strange emotion surged in her heart.

Under the influence of this emotion, she chose to tell a little lie.

In fact, as Meimu's daughter, and Kenan dotes on her, Kushuo also values ​​her very much.

So apart from those forbidden techniques, she can check out the secret techniques of any sect.
