Legends of Runeterra

The soul-eating sea worm stared at Li En and the others standing in mid-air, with endless greed revealed in its eyes.

It followed the magic in the Yodle's tears. A mere sac-throat fish could not satisfy its appetite at all. Its real target was the Yodle who was being carried by the human.

Just smelling the magic emanating from the Yodels caused the Soul-Eating Sea Worm's hideous mouth to continuously overflow with sticky and highly poisonous saliva.

Although the human in front of him had some skills and could float in the air, judging from the magic power sensed by the soul-eating sea worm, he was at most just a magician.

As for that little chirping thing, I hope it doesn’t get stuck in my teeth later.

After assessing the situation, the soul-eating sea worm could no longer suppress its instincts.

“Hiss~~!”

"Hey~! Look at me, the slacking missile~!"

Along with Yumi's excited shout, a golden missile was fired, drawing an arc in the air and flying towards the Soul-Eating Sea Worm.

As the missile continued to accelerate, its size also continued to grow.

"Bang~!"

Several scales the size of washbasins were blown up by the edges, and a slight pain was felt.

“Hiss~~!”

Before he could make a move, the little thing opposite him dared to take the initiative to provoke him. The soul-eating sea worm instantly turned red and opened its huge mouth full of hideous teeth to pounce on him.

Li En did not make any move in the face of this scene, but just stood quietly in mid-air.

“Wuwaaaaaah~! Help, help, help, ahhhh~!”

"Don't be afraid Ryan, let the most amazing cat protect you~!"

Golden magic power emerged instantly and turned into a round bubble-like shield to protect Li En and Ryan.

Just when the soul-eating sea worm was about to devour Li En and others.

"Wow~!"

The sea surface was surging, and the soul-eating sea worm that floated on the sea water suddenly shook its body and passed by Li En.

"Bang~!"

The soul-eating sea worm dived into the sea, stirring up waves hundreds of meters high.

However, only a few seconds passed.

"Bang~!"

“Hiss~~!”

The soul-eating sea worms tore through the sea surface and pounced towards Li En and others again.

"Tide, please give me a hand!"

Along with the beautiful singing like an aria, the sea began to surge.

Huge waves formed in just a few breaths. Even with a body of over a hundred meters long, the Soul-Eating Sea Worm was as fragile as a small worm in front of the surging sea.

“Hiss~~!”

The cry of the soul-eating sea worm at this time was no longer as violent as before, but instead revealed a sense of panic.

The huge body struggled violently in the waves, but looked so powerless.

The whirlpool formed by the sea water trapped it tightly, and the waves hanging above, more than a hundred meters high, fell down like a guillotine.

"Boom~!"

The angry roar of the sea resounded throughout the sea area.

Dozens of seconds later, a slender and graceful figure slowly emerged, and the staff in her hand was gently waved, and the sea surface calmed down instantly.

Seeing the person coming, Li En smiled, picked up Ryan who had already fainted, and flew towards the other party at a constant speed, stopping ten meters away from the other party.

The woman held a staff as blue as the waves, her upper body was a slender human body adorned with exotic gems, and below the waist was a gorgeous fish tail that shone with colorful light in the sun.

Circles of water flow surround the fish's tail, allowing the woman to float on the sea like a fish.

Miss Mermaid looked at Li En who was standing ten meters away, and breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly. At the same time, her watery eyes observed Li En, Yumi, Modian, and Ryan with curiosity and some nervousness.

"Hello, my name is..."

"Wow! What a beautiful fish!"

Yuumi cheered and got out of the special state, flying towards the other party excitedly.

"Shua~!"

The slender and powerful hand stretched out and accurately grasped Yumi's Destiny's neck.

"Meow~! Li En, what are you doing? Let me go! Fish, such a beautiful fish~!"

The little kitten struggled slightly, and Li En lifted Yumi in front of him.

"Yuumi, what do you want to do? They just helped us!"

"Whoa~ whoa~!"

The magic book was also flipping through the pages quickly.

Under the scrutiny of the two, Yumi shrank her neck and turned to look at the mermaid lady in the distance.

"Meow~! I'm sorry, pretty little fish, Yuumi is just a little kitten. It was my tail that controlled me just now~!"

"It's okay, I've seen the 'cats' recorded on the slate, they do like fish.

It's just... they shouldn't be able to talk, right?"

Miss Mermaid's enchanting voice was tinged with a hint of doubt.

"Hehe~! I'm different from them, I'm..."

"The most amazing cat, right."

Li En rubbed Yumi's head.

"Hulu~Hulu~! I declare that you, Li En, are my best partner. Even the guy holding the door can't compare to you~!"

"Haha~! It's really my honor!"

After scratching Yumi's chin again, Li En held Yumi in his arms under the slightly envious gaze of the mermaid lady to prevent it from being controlled by the "tail" again.

"Hello, my name is Li En, thank you very much for saving us just now!"

"Hello...Hello, I'm Nami."

"Pretty little Nami, I'm Yuumi, this is the Grimoire, and as for the Yodel who fell asleep, his name is Ryan!"

"Hello, nice to meet you."

"Ms. Nami, from the looks of you, you should be the legendary Vastaya sea tribe, right?"

"Yes, our race is called the Mermaids, and we have always lived in the deep sea."

"I remember that you have never appeared in the waters where Bilgewater is located. Why are you here?"

"Where is Bilgewater?"

Listening to the place names mentioned by Li En, Nami showed a trace of confusion on her face.

"Uh... How should I put it? Before you explain, Miss Nami, can you tell me a place name you know as a reference?"

"No problem! I know a place called Mount Targon!"

As Nami answered, Li En took out a map from his magic pocket.

"Look here, this is Mount Targon, and Bilgewater is over here."

"How...how could this happen..."

Following Li En's finger, Nami showed an anxious look on her face.

"What should I do...Moonstone...will it be too late..."

Nami muttered to herself as she was about to dive under the sea.

"Wait, Miss Nami."

"I'm sorry, Li En, I'm responsible for the lives of my people, and I don't have time to waste!"

"Yuumi's magic book can open a portal, through which you can instantly go to the sea on the other side of Mount Targon."

"That's right, don't worry, pretty little fish!"

"Whoa~ whoa~!"

The grimoire also flipped its pages, and when it stopped, a portal quietly opened.

The moist sea breeze blew in from inside, Nami smelled the familiar scent in the wind, and her anxious mood gradually calmed down.

"Leen, Yumi, and Modian, thank you!"

"Hey~! You're welcome, pretty little fish!"

"Whoa~ whoa~!"

Looking at Nami who thanked him sincerely, Li En showed a gentle smile on his face.

"Ms. Nami, I just heard you say, 'You are responsible for the life and death of your people.' If you have a portal, you can save a lot of time. If it's convenient, can you tell us about it?

You saved us, and we want to help you too."

"Yeah, that's right!"

"Whoa~ whoa~!"

"That...I...thank you very much!"

Facing the gazes of Li En and Yumi, Nami suppressed the emotion welling up in her heart and slowly began to tell the story.
