Legends of Runeterra

Karma could actually understand the behavior of the monk elders headed by Elder Barn.

Even though he was the "Revelation One" of this generation, in the eyes of the monks, Karma, who had only practiced for eight years, was far from mastering the wisdom accumulated from thousands of reincarnations.

Not to mention the incredibly huge and extremely powerful force.

As the inheritor of the 'Soul of Ionia', the power within Karma becomes more and more active as Noxus' invasion becomes more and more brutal.

An inexplicable calling was calling her to return all the suffering of this land to the invaders.

'The elders adhered to tradition, but looking back at the memories of the generations of 'Karma', Ionia had never suffered such a disaster.

The 'Reverend Shenlong' and the Sect of Balance and other hidden sects have already taken action, and I can't just stand by and watch.

At least, I should do something for the suffering people in this land! '

Karma looked at the note in her hand, which was news brought to her by a young believer.

It contained a message from a member of the Order of the Balance called 'Sun Chaser', stating that a Noxian fleet was about to land in the northeast of Navoli Province.

Karma stood up slowly and raised his right hand slightly.

"Om~!"

Emerald green energy swirled and rose in her hands, then formed a door in front of Karma.

Without any hesitation, Karma stepped forward, walked into the door and disappeared.

"Shua~!"

The door made of green energy dissipated and gathered again on the mat where Karma had sat cross-legged before, transforming into a lifelike mannequin that looked exactly like her, sitting there quietly and meditating.

...

Nearly a hundred nautical miles away from the Ionian province of Navoli, a rough and ferocious pirate ship was sailing on the sea.

"Boss, do you really want to do this?"

"Hmm? What else? Instead of facing the Noxian fleet, why not try to plead with those two?

At least this way there is still a glimmer of hope!"

"Yes, Boss is wise!"

The first mate nodded, and led his men to slowly fold the sails, and the speed of the ship inevitably began to decrease.

"Bang~!"

The door of the captain's room was kicked open, and a muscular man with a bare upper body and a beard walked out.

"Instead of sailing properly, you all have taken up the sails. Are you going to go back on your word and cancel the original agreement?"

"Sir, please listen to my explanation!"

"You are all not good people. I have given you one chance before. Now I have no intention of your cunning words..."

The sturdy man said this while slowly raising his hand.

A muscular man who was a head taller than the sturdy man Li Qing, with disheveled hair and a wild aura, walked out.

"Wait, Li Qing, let's listen to what they say first!"

The fan-like palm pressed on Li Qing's shoulder, and the beast-like man's voice sounded like a wise monk.

"Well, now that Udyr has spoken, you should speak up!"

"Yes, sir. Forty miles ahead is the Noxian blockade. Their warships are patrolling back and forth constantly.

Our ships are no match for theirs in terms of firepower or speed. Once discovered, we will suffer no harm, but the two adults will be delayed for a long time.

So, sir, you see...the last fifty nautical miles..."

"Okay, I get it. You guys drive the boat first, and call us when we get there!"

"Yes, sir!"

After Li Qing finished speaking, he turned and walked into the cabin, and Udyr followed him in.

When the pirate ship captain knocked on the cabin door again, Li Qing, who had shaved his beard and tied his hair into a monk's style, walked out of the cabin.

"Master... has arrived!"

"Okay, let's put the boat down!"

"Yes!"

"Wow~!"

The boat went into the sea, and Li Qing and Udyr jumped onto the boat.

"You guys better take care of yourselves. If I see you robbing again, you can say goodbye to this world!"

"Yes, sir, don't worry, I will definitely change my ways!"

Faced with the pirate captain who nodded repeatedly, Li Qing said no more. He and Udyr rowed the boat, and the boat broke through the sea like a sharp arrow and left.

"Huh! I finally survived!"

The pirate captain rubbed his abdomen; the ribs that had been broken by the kick were still aching.

"Boss, are we still going to rob?"

"Robbery? Bullshit, it's you idiots who bring all kinds of people on the boat and try to squeeze them out of you.

Don’t you know what kind of ruthless people are those who dare to row a small boat out to sea? "

"S-sorry, boss!"

"Go to hell! Go change the pirate flag to a bounty hunter's flag.

I heard that bounty hunter Sarah Doom has received a large amount of financial assistance recently and is recruiting troops everywhere. Let's go and see if we can join her team!"

"Yes, boss!"

...

"Wow~!"

The sea was exceptionally calm tonight, and Li Qing and his companion's boat was sailing smoothly.

Li Qing saw Udyr paddling hard from the side and recalled his encounter with the other party.

That was after he was expelled from the Temple of Shojin, and he traveled far away from Ionia for several years until he came to the Freljord.

In a world of ice and snow, he met Udyr, who was struggling to maintain the balance of power in his body because of the outburst of the power of his beast spirit.

Li Qing subconsciously helped, sharing with the other party the classics he had studied before and his understanding of the power of the dragon without reservation.

After some effort, Udyr also calmed the rioting beast spirits.

Faced with Lee Sin who had similar troubles, and thanks to his rescue, Udyr quickly became good friends with the other party.

They traveled around the Freljord, learning and understanding each other, and a wonderful friendship formed between them as both a teacher and a friend.

Not long ago, Li Qing, who traveled to the port, heard the news of Noxus' invasion of Ionia. He said goodbye to Udyr without hesitation and planned to return to his homeland to resist the invasion.

Udyr did not hesitate at all and expressed his willingness to go to Ionia with him and face the Noxian army with him.

"Um...Udyr...thank you!"

"Hmm? Li Qing, what did you just say?"

"Thank you Udyr for helping me resist the invasion!"

"Hahaha~! What's the big deal? We are friends! Besides, those little bastards from Noxus have been harassing the border of Freljord for years. I've been fed up with them for a long time!"

"Well, anyway, I..."

"Wow~!"

In the distance they heard the sound of a ship breaking through the waves, and they both turned around to look.

About two hundred meters away from the boat, a Noxian fleet was heading towards Ionia with unstoppable momentum.

The two looked at each other, nodded in tacit understanding, then jumped directly into the sea, swimming quickly towards the fleet until they climbed onto the most majestic warship.
