Legends of Runeterra

"Boom~!"

Silvery-white lightning flashed, and dragon-shaped lightning rose from the ground and rushed into the sky.

In the blink of an eye, the lightning collided with the attack from the magic circle.

First there was silence, then...

"Boom~!"

The light from the collision between the two instantly made the entire battlefield seem as bright as day.

The air and various impurities and dust formed a visible shock wave that spread in all directions. Ordinary soldiers on the ground who were close to it were directly pressed into the soil by the huge pressure.

"Boom~!"

The collision between the two continued, and the air that was swept back turned into shock waves again and continued to spread.

The dazzling light prevented outsiders from seeing the competition between the two, but as the controller of the magic circle, the mage beside Swain felt more and more pressure, and the magic circuits in his body were gradually collapsing.

"Click~!"

Accompanied by a crisp shattering sound.

"Pfft~!"

The wizard's eyeballs exploded, emitting a blood mist all over the sky.

“Crack! Crack! Crack!”

Cracks instantly spread across the entire magic circle.

"Bang~!"

The dragon-shaped lightning had no more obstacles and directly penetrated the magic circle and leaped above the clouds.

"Boom~!"

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and thunder was rumbling in the clouds.

"Puch~!"

A dark red conical crystal pierced into the mage's abdomen, and then instantly softened into liquid and merged into the mage's body.

"Marcus, it's time to show your loyalty to the Empire!"

"Yes, Lord Swain!"

Feeling the magic circuits in his body stop collapsing and even become stronger, Marcus had an extremely fanatical look on his hideous and empty eye sockets.

Swain ignored the other party and turned away without any hesitation.

"Hurry up, Swain is going to run away!"

Meimu shouted, picked up the sickle and rushed over.

"For the Empire, for Noxus!"

Mage Marcus shouted excitedly. Although he had lost his eyes due to the strengthening of the crystal, he could now lock onto the target with magic power alone, and was even more powerful than before.

"Ow~!"

Sensing Swain's retreat, the Noxian soldiers, strengthened by alchemical potions, attacked more frantically.

Cooperate with Marcus and try your best to slow down everyone.

Thus, the battle, in which both sides risked everything and could not afford to lose, began again.

...

Standing on a high ground, Li En quietly looked at the battlefield.

With his extraordinary vision, he silently admired the pursuit of Irelia and others, and the desperate resistance of the mages and reinforced soldiers.

And Swain, who almost fled without any armor.

The once majestic and gloomy supreme commander of the war against Ionia is now just an ordinary man who wants to survive.

"What a mess~!"

Li En shook his head and then looked at the shadow cast by the trees nearby.

"What do you think, Katru?"

"..."

A breeze blew by, and the calm shadows twisted gently.

Then, Katlu's face, with a slightly vulgar look and a flattering smile, slowly walked out from the shadows.

"Good evening, Lord Li En. I didn't expect to meet you here by chance!"

"Haha~! Is it a coincidence? You didn't follow Dukuer, but appeared here instead?"

"Hehe~! Lord Li En, Brother Dukuer is right here~!"

Katlu said as he pulled out a sphere wrapped in black cloth from the shadows behind him.

Looking at the blood seeping through the black cloth, Li En smiled and stared at the other person's chest.

"Pah pah pah~!"

"What a great trick! Should I call you Katru? Or..."

Under Li En's gaze, the corners of Katlu's mouth spread out to both sides, becoming more and more exaggerated until they reached the roots of his ears.

“Crack~!”

Like opening a box, Katlu's upper jaw folded back.

"Gulu~! Gulu~!"

Katlu's neck was stretched a little bit from bottom to top, as if something was coming out of his chest.

A pitch-black creature covered in slime slowly appeared in front of Li En.

"Wow~!"

A pair of pitch-black wings spread out, and the sticky liquid was thrown away, revealing its strange black feathers that could not reflect any light.

It looks like a crow, even if you ignore the strange aura it exudes.

But those three scarlet eyes on the left and right, arranged in order from large to small, are definitely not something that any normal creature can possess.

"Hello, Li En, nice to meet you, you can call me...'Ram'!"

"'Rum'... you seem to be..."

"That's right, Li En, I'm a demon!"

“Swish~!”

A flash of silvery white lightning appeared.

"Wait, don't be in a hurry!"

Ram shook his wings.

"Haha~! I know exactly what you demons are!"

"Stop, that's not fair. Although I'm a demon, I was born from the desire for knowledge of intelligent life. My pursuit is just some knowledge. Unlike those evil and bloodthirsty guys, I have never taken the initiative to kill any mortals!"

"Oh~! Really? That's surprising~!"

"It's normal for you to be suspicious, but as a prerequisite for us to trust each other..."

Ram said this, spreading his wings to reveal his chest, and a dark red light lit up.

"This is my essence, feel free to check it out!"

Looking at Ram's defenseless appearance, Li En showed a little hesitation on his face, and then out of curiosity, he looked at its chest.

"...It's amazing that you, as a demon, didn't lie!"

"Hehe~! Ahem!"

Ram habitually made Katlu's obscene laugh, and coughed lightly a few times after he came to his senses.

"Now you should be able to believe that I have no ill intentions!"

"Let's just say that. Tell me, what is your purpose?

Also, let me tell you in advance that although demons like you cannot be completely killed, if you want to keep pestering me, I don’t mind killing the threat over and over again!"

"Of course! Of course! I'm just here to discuss cooperation with you. If you don't want to, I won't pester you!"

"cooperate!?"

"Yes~!"

Ram's six scarlet eyes flashed with an inexplicable luster at this moment.

...

Not long after, Ram stood on Li En's shoulder and looked at the battlefield with him.

"Ram, why don't you take action? The target you chose is about to die!"

"Soon, only the deepest despair can breed the purest ambition!"

"Hehe~! That's a really 'devil' way of saying it!"

"Same here, Mr. Li En~!"

Seeing that everyone had entangled all the guards around Swain, Irelia rushed towards Swain with the "Sword of Legends" floating by her side, and Ram finally spread his wings.

"Mr. Li En, I'll leave the rest to you. Let's have a pleasant cooperation!"

"Well, happy working together!"

"Dukouer's head is my gift to you. See you next time!"

Without waiting for Li En to answer, Ram disappeared in an instant.
