Legends of Runeterra

"Meet, meet, meet the Lord God!"

"Haha~! Hello, Riel. Nice to meet you, nice to meet you."

There was a gentle smile on the goddess' perfect face, and the azure breeze caressed Riel's face.

Suddenly, Riel felt his whole body lighten, and all the fatigue from the escape disappeared.

"Thank...thank you, God!"

"You're welcome, Li En. I'll take a look at the child's condition now."

"Well, thank you for your help, goddess."

"Haha~!"

In response to Li En's address, Janna smiled slightly and blinked gently.

"Buzz~~!"

The top of the jade-like staff lit up, and the azure light floated down on Tessaiya like a ribbon.

Since Li En had checked and secretly told Janna about the situation before, Janna's divine power now went straight to Tessaaya's soul.

After a few minutes, the light of Janna's staff gradually went out.

Just when Riel was still hesitating whether to ask, Li En took the initiative to speak.

"How is it, goddess?"

“The ritual has caused great damage to the child’s soul, but fortunately another recipient is here. I can use my divine power to slowly extract the fragments of Tessaea’s soul and return them to her.

By then, as long as the child is nurtured with divine power for a period of time, he will be able to regain his sanity, but his magical talent will be greatly reduced, or even unusable in the future."

"Does that have any effect on Riel?"

"Yes, there is. Now that part of Tessaia's soul has merged with Riel, the separation process will be extremely painful even if I am careful, so..."

"Lord God, Lord Li En, as long as it can save Taishaya, I am not afraid of the severe pain at all. Please help save Taishaya!"

Riel bowed and could not stand up, praying in his heart for a response from both man and god.

'My dear, is it safe?'

'No problem, but the pain is beyond imagination. After all, it's a soul. There is no such thing as coma or temporary stop. There is no other way except to endure it.

And the sooner we start, the better, otherwise the fragments of Tessaea's soul will not fuse so thoroughly.'

"Can my power help her feel better?"

'Well, I have taken your strength into account.'

'okay, I get it. '

Li En ended his conversation with Janna, walked to Riel, stepped back and squatted.

"Once this process begins, there is no way to interrupt it. Are you really ready, Riel?"

"Yes, Lord Li En, as long as I can save Tessaiya, I can do it!"

Riel mustered up the courage to look directly at Li En, her amber eyes flashing with a determination that did not belong to an eight-year-old child.

Li En stretched out his hand and gently rubbed Riel's hair, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Okay, let's start now, how about that?"

"Ok!"

...

In the room illuminated by warm lights, Riel and Tessaiya were lying on a small bed, one on each side.

Janna was floating in the air, while Li En sat next to Riel with a chair.

"It's about to begin, Riel. It will be painful to peel off the soul fragments. You must be mentally prepared!"

"Yes, please rest assured, Lady Janna!"

"Ah."

Janna nodded slightly, then looked at Li En.

"Li En, I'll ask you to protect Rui Er later."

“Don’t worry, leave it to me.

Riel, give me your hand now."

"Okay...Okay, Master Li En..."

The small right hand was placed in Li En's palm, and he gently held it.

"Okay, let the treatment begin!"

Janna raised her staff slightly.

"Hoo~!"

An azure cyclone spread outward from the staff, and the realm belonging to the gods spread outward, just covering the entire room.

Riel, who was originally a little nervous, and Tessaiya, who was like a puppet, both closed their eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

"Buzz~~!"

A blue ribbon made of divine power fell, wrapping up Tessaiya and wrapping around Riel's forearm with the mark.

Nodding to Li En, Janna officially started glassing.

“Crack! Crack!”

A sound like glass breaking was heard, and extremely tiny light red crystals, like tiny diamonds, slowly floated out from Riel's forearm.

"Uh..."

The peaceful sleeping face frowned and a painful whimper came out of Riel's mouth.

"Buzz~~!"

Under Li En's control, the golden-red energy, filled with a powerful breath of life, flowed into Riel's body through the palms of their hands.

The strengthening of the body was fed back to the soul, and Riel's frown relaxed slightly.

“Crack! Crack!”

More and more, and larger and larger, light red crystals peeled off from Riel's forearm.

As the mark of the black magic faded, Riel's whimpering gradually subsided.

But Li En knew that this did not mean that the other party was fine. On the contrary, just like the people who were jumping around at the disaster scene were not necessarily fine, but if there was no reaction, the situation was definitely not optimistic.

This is the case with Riel now. Her body has been in shock from the severe pain in her soul and she is unable to react.

"Buzz~~!"

The golden-red flame rose up and covered Riel's entire body directly along his arms.

"Ahhhh~!!!"

When a scream of pain came out of Riel's mouth, Li En's expression relaxed.

"Chi~~!"

Accompanied by a burst of vicious black smoke, the mark on Riel's arm completely disappeared.

And Janna was also concentrating at this time, and the nearly ten thousand light red crystals that were peeled off floated in front of the goddess.

Janna stretched out her snow-white, delicate fingers and gently moved them in the air. The numerous crystals kept changing positions along with her fingertips, gradually piecing together into a complete crystal.

A few minutes later, looking at the cracked crystal with a diameter of ten centimeters in front of her, Janna raised the corners of her mouth slightly and slowly took it into her palm.

"Buzz~~!"

A huge amount of divine power poured into the crystal like a wave. Under the influence of this miraculous power born from Janna's vision of saving the world, the cracks on the crystal slowly but steadily disappeared.

A full hour later, the flawless crystal appeared before Janna and Li En.

"Hoo~!"

The azure breeze carried the crystals and lightly fell on Tessaiya's forehead, directly blending into her body.

"Buzz~~!"

Layers of ribbons made of divine power wrapped around Tessaiya, forming a giant azure cocoon.

"Okay, as long as the soul fragments are integrated, she will wake up."

After confirming that Riel's condition was stable, Li En let go of her little hand, opened his arms and hugged the exhausted and somewhat weak Janna in his arms.

"Thank you for your hard work, Janna!"

“It’s not hard, I’m very happy to be able to help them.

The most important thing is, this is your wish, Li En~!"

The goddess, with a somewhat pale face, looked directly at Li En with a gentle smile.

"Janna... I will pray now to replenish your power of faith!"

"and many more!"

"Well, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell after all the effort you put into treating him?"

"No...it's okay..."

A strange blush appeared on Janna's slightly pale face.

"That's right... Li En... I found that in that situation, using the 'Power of Star Creation' can better supplement my strength."

"Huh? Which kind...oh~!"

"..."

Facing Li En's self-evident gaze, the goddess silently buried her face in Li En's arms, and her elf-like pointed ears exposed outside were already covered with blush.

"Okay, let's change rooms. This is where Riel and the others will recover."

"..."

Janna didn't respond, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

This treatment was not as hard as Janna had portrayed. Evil priests, true demons... more and more terrifying beings appeared around Li En. In order to protect her believers from being distorted by them, the gentle goddess had to use some caution.

The arms around Li En's neck tightened slightly, and Janna gently sniffed the scent that made her feel at ease.
