Legends of Runeterra

In a dark cave somewhere deep in the snowfield, a scarlet light lit up.

“Hehehe~! Is my most perfect work finally beginning to take shape?

Let me see what kind of battle this is..."

...

"Huhuhu~!"

After tearing the last enemy to pieces, the tall figure covered in blood stood there blankly, motionless.

A burning breath gushed out from Tryndamere's mouth and nose, accompanied by scarlet bloodthirsty eyes and sticky saliva dripping unconsciously from the corners of his mouth.

No matter how you look at it, this barbarian man is not in a normal state of mind.

So, even though the final winner had emerged, the audience remained silent and no one cheered for the battle.

"Ok?"

Li En, who sensed some changes, suddenly sat up straight, staring at the figure in the arena with his dark eyes.

On the arena covered with blood and corpses, Tryndamere slowly raised his head, and his blood-red eyes swept across the stands like a ferocious beast looking for prey, and finally met Li En's gaze.

'This guy is definitely not Tryndamere!'

Without any words, Li En confirmed the other person's identity with just a glance.

Ashe, who was sitting in the main seat, saw that Tryndamere seemed to have lost his previous anger and madness, so she stood up.

"TEDA..."

“Bang~bang~bang~!”

The remains of the bodies in the arena exploded one after another, turning into scarlet mist that enveloped Tryndamere.

"Boom~!"

“Hahahahaha~!!!

Come and fight with me!!!"

With blood mist shrouding his body, Tryndamere leaped up with a grim smile and rushed towards Li En on the platform.

"Shua~!"

"Boom~!"

A black shadow flashed by, and at a speed faster than the one that rushed over, Tryndamere fell back to the ground of the arena.

“Tsk~!”

Li En landed gently below Ashe's main seat.

"Li En you..."

"Warmother Ashe, since this guy is looking for me, please leave it to me."

"War Mother!"

Several Iceborn nearby suddenly stood up.

Ordinary Freljord warriors might be afraid of Tryndamere's nearly immortal healing ability, but for the Iceborn who can harness the power of True Ice, he can be frozen and then smashed to pieces. Even the most powerful healing ability cannot withstand such injuries.

"Okay, go back and sit down."

Ashe waved her hand, and the six Iceborn looked unwilling, but still sat back in their seats obediently.

Although Li En had revealed his extraordinary strength, when faced with this person who was personally guided by Lady Ice Crystal Phoenix Anivia to find her, Ashe was still very curious about the other party's true strength.

The barbarian off the field did not display any other strange powers except for his almost immortal healing ability and powerful strength, which made him a perfect sparring partner.

Even if an accident happens, at such a distance, Ashe is 100% sure to save Li En.

"Li En, I'll leave it to you then."

"You're welcome, Warmother Ashe. I can't repay you for saving my life by just killing Tryndamere."

Looking at Li En's smile, Ashe nodded slightly, and a smile appeared on her previously expressionless delicate face.

"Shua~!"

“Tsk~!”

Li En jumped up from the stands, drew an arc in the air, and landed gently on the fighting arena.

“Crack! Crack! Crack!”

The stirred dust gradually dispersed, and Tryndamere pulled himself out from the ground.

"A borrowed body is not very useful."

"Oh? Has it been discovered?"

Standing up, with blood mist all over his body, Tryndamere looked more and more like a devil crawling out of hell, but the expression on his face was as cold as a cold sculpture.

Taking slow steps, Tryndamere came to the side of the giant blade.

“Crack~!”

Pulling out the blade and swinging it a few times casually and naturally, Tryndamere's aura became increasingly cold and heavy.

Li En let the other party do all this with a smile on his face.

"Of course. After all, this power is so recognizable, isn't it? The unknown Darkspawn."

“Hahahaha~! Darkspawn? What an impressive name~!”

"Shua~!"

The sharp blade pointed directly at Li En.

"Human, tell me which star spirit you have seen, and I will give you a quick death!"

"Don't tell such a stupid lie, Aatrox. Your real body is coming here at the fastest speed, right?"

"Ha! It seems you know more than I thought!

Right, so...are you going to run away?"

Teda... Aatrox said, his eyes passed over Li En's shoulder, swept across the podium, and finally paused on the figure on the main seat.

There were no words, but the meaning was clear.

"On the contrary, I'm looking forward to your arrival!"

"Boom~!"

The ground shattered layer by layer, and Li En rushed towards Tryndamere at a speed that exceeded the visual limits of ordinary people.

"Dang~!"

A huge metallic roar was heard, and the audience closest to the arena couldn't help but cover their ears.

"Hahahaha~! That's right, that's it, fight with me!"

Aatrox controlled Tryndamere's body, and while knocking off Li En's fist, the blade drew a perfect arc in the air and slashed towards his left shoulder with incredible speed.

"Boom~!"

"too slow!"

Li En appeared beside Tryndamere and punched him.

"Bang~!"

Although Aatrox still raised his arms to block, the powerful and violent force still blasted him away.

“Crack! Crack! Crack!”

The flesh and bones twisted back to their original position, and a hint of dissatisfaction appeared on Tryndamere's face.

"It's just a bud after all, we have to use other means..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tryndamere's arms, which were already thicker than the average person's thigh, grew and expanded further.

Inexplicable bulges appeared under the scarred skin.

"Stab~!"

The bright red spike broke through the skin and grew in the blink of an eye, covering the entire right shoulder and arm until it wrapped around most of the handle.

Twisted and entangled, from a distance it looked as if another arm that did not belong to Tryndamere stretched out from his body, replacing his original arm to hold the giant blade.

No, under this arm, the giant battle blade became the size of an ordinary long sword.

"Haaa~!"

Tryndamere took a deep breath, his body surrounded by a wisp of blood mist, and his scarlet eyes stared at Li En.

"Come on, warm up with me before I get there!"

"as you wish."

"Boom~!"

The ground exploded, and the two figures fought again.

This time, unlike the previous battles, less than ten people in the entire festival venue could see the battle. The rest of the audience only saw two figures colliding continuously, and they could only see the brief wrestling between the two clearly.

Only the figure on the high platform could observe all the details of this battle.

Tryndamere's moves suddenly became elegant and deadly, causing Ashe to reveal a hint of doubt between her brows.

But when she set her eyes on Li En, who was handling the situation with ease, a smile appeared on her face.

"Sure enough, the person chosen by Master Anivia is indeed not simple. Such strength is not just a little bit strong!"
