Legends of Runeterra

Kassadin seemed to be frozen in place, with a dazed expression and standing still.

Seeing no response from the other party, the elastic and transparent purple tentacle lay pitifully on Li En's shoulder.

"Okay, okay, Kasa doesn't hate you. She's just a little too shocked and doesn't know what to do for a moment."

Looking at Li En comforting the tentacle, it was as if he was comforting his own child.

And she, Kassa, was the 'bad adult' who didn't respond to the polite greetings from the children.

Facing the [Void] existing in Li En's body, Kassa felt that her worldview had collapsed.

How could the Void become like this!?

Even if it is the armor that coexists with her, if Kassadin has not eaten for a long time and the reserve energy is consumed to a certain extent, it will riot and even devour Kassadin herself.

But in the [Void] on Li En's body, Kassa felt as if she was still in a dream.

"Ahem~! Um... I'm sorry... I... I'm really shocked..."

It was difficult for Kassa to describe her current mood. In short, it was extremely strange and awkward, yet filled with the joy of discovering her own kind.

"Hello, [Void], I am Kai'Sa."

“Puyo~Puyo~!”

Upon hearing the reply, the chewy purple tentacles immediately swayed left and right happily.

Kasha nodded, smiled and said, "Well, I'm glad to meet you too."

"Please sit down, Kasa. We haven't finished the food yet. We can't waste it."

"Okay... okay."

At Li En's invitation, the two sat on the floor again.

Looking down at the neatly arranged food, Kasa pursed her lips.

"Li...Li En...How on earth did you do it!?"

"Haha~! So, you believed what I said?"

Kasa nodded first, then shook her head.

"Logically speaking, if you are really a 'Void Follower' in disguise, you would have killed me by now, but you didn't. Instead, you let me go."

"Then why do you..."

"Li En, you have also come into contact with the 'void'. You should also know that once you are involved in the 'void', all the so-called 'common sense' will no longer exist."

"Well, that's true."

Although Kassa said this, judging from the way she tasted every piece of food, Kassa still maintained basic trust in Li En, at least compared to before.

As for Kassadin, who used eating to hide her emotions, her heart was far from being as calm as she appeared.

Ever since he was ten years old, when the entire village fell into a collapsed underground cave, he has lived with this suit of armor, or rather, skin.

The 'void creatures' do not accept Kaisa, and Kaisa regards them as mortal enemies.

Humans also regard Kassadin as a monster because of the symbiotic armor on her body.

Kai'Sa not only survives in the underground full of "void creatures", but also tries to save every distressed human he meets.

She still remembered that when she first saved the human from the mouth of the 'void creature', what greeted her was not sincere gratitude, but a cold and sharp blade.

However, if the symbiotic armor had not been strong enough, Kai'Sa might have been stabbed through by that knife.

Since then, Kassadin has become less naive and more vigilant.

But even so, Kassa did not give up on saving humanity.

Because she was afraid that if she continued to indulge in hunting "void creatures", one day, she would forget her human identity and be completely devoured by the symbiotic armor on her body.

Kai'Sa not only saves the lives of those in distress, but also replenishes her own "humanity" that has been eroded by the constant fight against the "void".

Now, when she suddenly saw someone who looked like her own kind, Kassa's emotions surged like a wave.

"Kasha, if you have any questions, just speak up. There's no need to be secretive."

Li En's gentle words startled Kassa, and she immediately withdrew her secret glance at him.

"I do not..."

When Kasa raised her head and looked directly at Li En, meeting his warm, dark eyes that had returned to normal, the words of her defense stopped at her lips.

The peaceful and reassuring atmosphere emanated from it, making Kasa feel relaxed.

It is difficult for such a deformed and crazy being to pretend to be in this posture.

Coupled with the strange [Void] on Li En's body, she was more certain about the fact that Li En was not a 'Void believer'.

Facing Li En's gaze, Kassa breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, I am indeed curious. Why does Li En seem to have no abnormalities except for his left eye? Even your left eye can be hidden?"

Looking at Li En's whole body, Kassa's eyes showed not only envy but also a hint of surprise.

"Haha~! Actually it's not that it doesn't exist, but I just hid it."

Li En said, raising his left arm.

"Buzz~~!"

A brilliant and deep purple light lit up, and under Kassadin's gaze, the crystal clear amethyst covered Li En's entire left arm and shoulders like armor.

The densely packed crystal plates do not have the slightest sense of discomfort caused by the "void" distortion, but are instead filled with a magnificent and powerful sense of déjà vu.

"Here, this is the change in me."

Kassadin looked at Li En's left arm, then looked down at her own symbiotic armor, with envy and loss flashing in her eyes.

If her armor was like this, she wouldn't be considered a monster....

"Come to think of it, Kaisa, the armor you're wearing was brought by the Void, right?"

Under Li En's gaze, Kassa moved her body slightly, as if trying to avoid his sight, but then chose to give up.

"Yeah... that's right. When I was ten years old, I fell into a crack and killed a void bug by chance. Its scales covered my hand, and from then on I lived in symbiosis with it, relying on it to hunt 'void creatures' for a living.

Over the years, it has continued to grow and evolve into what it is today.”

"Is that so? Then can you hide the symbiotic armor?"

“I’ve tried, but I can only control the opening and closing of the armor on my head. There’s no way to control the rest of the body.

Rather than a suit of armor, it’s more like my skin now.”

"skin?"

"Well, what happened?"

"Uh... that means, actually... you are not wearing any clothes now?"

"what!?"

Kassa's eyes widened slightly, and a faint blush appeared on her unusually fair face due to not seeing the sun for many years.

"You and I..."

"Sorry, sorry. I just saw that you were in a very low mood, so I wanted to make a joke to lighten the mood."

Although I felt a little ashamed and annoyed, the feeling of sadness that was not accepted by the world had indeed dissipated a lot.

How can a hard symbiotic armor that can easily withstand the blows of swords and knives compare to soft and smooth skin?

Looking at Li En's sincere expression and the peach handed to her, Kassa breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, I forgive you."

"Of course, thank you for your generosity."
