Legends of Runeterra

"I have some food here, take a look and see what you want to eat."

Under Kassa's gaze, Li En took out a bag from his arms, then reached into it and took out portions of food.

Barbecue, cakes, milk tea, and...

"peach!?"

Looking at the last fruit that Li En took out, Kassa's eyes lit up slightly.

"Uh...you like this?"

"Um..."

"for you."

A peach with pink and white skin and perfect ripeness was handed to Kasa.

The symbiotic shell gives Kai'Sa an excellent sense of smell, allowing her to easily smell the sweet aroma of fruit.

"Gululu~! Really...really?"

"Of course, you saved my life, a peach is nothing."

Li En said this and handed it forward again. Kassa did not hesitate any more. She took the peach with both hands and held it carefully in front of her.

Kassa was lucky enough to survive the collapse that engulfed the entire village.

Young Kasa kept groping forward in the darkness, and when the cries of the survivors fell silent, she saw a ray of light.

Following the light all the way down, in the collapsed ruins, Kassa found a water bag and rotten peaches scattered on the ground.

Kassadin, who was extremely hungry and weak, relied on those rotten peaches to restore some of his strength.

From then on, peaches became her favorite fruit.

"What's wrong, it should be fine, right?"

Li En took out another peach from his pocket and bit into it with a "crunch".

"Do you think it's poisonous?"

"No, of course not."

In Li En's hand, the peach flesh was exposed to the air, and the sweet scent became even stronger.

Kasa no longer hesitated, opened her mouth and bit it gently.

“Crack~!”

The sweet juice exploded in her mouth, Kassa's eyes lit up, and she started eating even faster.

“Crack~!”

The hard peach pit made a crisp sound when bitten by teeth, and Kassa realized that she had finished eating the peach.

"another one?"

"Thank you...thank you."

Instinctively, Kassa took the peach handed to her by Li En again.

"If you don't mind, sit down and eat."

After arranging the food, Li En sat down on the ground and invited Kassa naturally.

Feeling a little more satisfied, Kasa took a bite of the peach and savored the sweet taste.

The amethyst-like eyes looked at Li En, then at the mysterious pocket he put aside, revealing an undisguised curiosity.

"Li En...your pocket is not big, how can you fit so many things in it?"

"This is a magic pocket. The space inside has been expanded by magic. It can be used to store food and tools. It's very convenient."

"Are you a magician?"

“Haha~! I guess so, but this magic pocket was given to me by someone else.

Have you ever heard of the Yodel?"

Kassa once picked up some books, and based on the contents on them, she had a basic understanding of the world.

"Yeah, those are the really mysterious magical creatures, right?"

“Yes, this isn’t the first time I’ve encountered the Void. The last time, I was in danger and fell into the legendary Bandle City, where I was saved by the Yodel Lulu.

Since humans cannot live there for a long time, she sent me away after my injuries stabilized, and gave me this magic pocket before leaving."

"It sounds like a dangerous and wonderful experience... Wait, you said you have encountered the 'Void' before!?"

"Yes, my travel team was attacked at that time, and I was taken away by a man who called himself a 'Void Follower'. He looked like a human, but was actually a terrifying monster. He implanted something he called a 'Void Egg' in me."

When Li En mentioned the terms "Void Believer" and "Void Egg", the vigilance that had always been there instantly turned into hostility, and Kai'Sa rolled over and jumped up.

The scaly pods on the shoulders were aimed at Li En, and the purple light inside them slowly lit up.

Li En, who was sitting upright on the ground, smiled slightly, and his left pupil turned into a deep and gorgeous purple.

"Buzz~~!"

An invisible and intangible aura emanated, and Kassadin felt as if she was standing on the edge of a bottomless abyss. She would fall into it with just half a step.

Kai'Sa's armor began to vibrate violently with fear, and the jet pod began to heat up.

She tried to take control, but the symbiote armor seemed to know something she didn't.

When she was about to launch an attack, she felt a tingling sensation in her skin.

"Uh...."

Kassa stared at Li En's handsome yet evil face, her amethyst-like eyes filled with deep hatred.

There can be nothing in the void, except vigilance.

Kai'Sa, who is unacceptable to both void creatures and humans, has survived to this day and has already honed her vigilance.

When the symbiotic armor showed unusually little desire to devour the humans who came into contact with it, Kassadin began to become cautious.

But it didn't work.

Faced with an unprecedented existence like Li En, the symbiotic armor that Kaisa relied on actually began to rebel against herself.

Now that Kai'Sa's body is covered with symbiotic armor, she can't even move.

When she fell into despair.

"Da~!"

Li En snapped his fingers lightly, and Kassa felt that the taut symbiotic armor like a sculpture loosened, and her limbs could move again.

"Haha~! Don't be nervous. I just don't want to make too much noise and get chased by those bugs again."

Looking at Li En's still gentle smile, Kassa tried to circulate the energy slightly, and the symbiotic armor tightened again.

After trying several times in one breath, Kassa's heart sank.

"What on earth are you?!"

"Haha~! Calm down now?"

"...Um."

Facing Kassa's vigilant gaze, Li En stood up from the ground, walked step by step to her, and looked directly into her eyes with his deep and gorgeous purple left pupil.

"In a sense, I am just like you, a human being who was infected by the Void and survived by chance."

"How can it be!?"

"Why is it impossible? Since you, Kaisa, can survive, why can't I?"

"That's different... The 'Void Egg' is something that the 'Void Cult' uses specifically to transform humans. No one can resist the erosion brought by facing the 'Void' directly!"

"Come out [Void], say hello to Kai'Sa."

"Buzz~~!"

The air behind Li En twisted, and under Kassadin's gaze, a Q-elastic, transparent, round-looking tentacle stretched out and slowly stretched in front of Kassadin.

Suddenly, the symbiotic armor on Kassadin's body felt a slight pain again.

“Puyo~Puyo~!”

The elastic tentacles swayed left and right, as if greeting Kaisa.

At the same time, a feeling of joy and happiness came through some unknown connection.
