Legends of Runeterra

Under Li En's somewhat surprised gaze, Lissandra put her hands behind her back and turned her beautiful face slightly to look at the ground beside her.

In silence, a faint blush quietly appeared from the neck to the cheeks.

"Sorry... I'm sorry, if it's inconvenient..."

"of course can!"

"what!?"

Lissandra suddenly raised her head and looked at Li En, with a mixture of surprise and shyness on her blushing cheeks.

“Da~da~da~!”

Li En walked step by step to one meter in front of Lissandra, lowered his head slightly and looked at her.

"I said, yes."

"Thank you... thank you..."

Pulling her skirt, Lissandra thanked him in a very low voice.

"You're welcome."

"That..."

Seeing the still hesitant 'girl', Li En simply took a step forward and gently embraced her in his arms. Like his palm before, Lissandra's body also felt slightly cold, and the temperature was much lower than that of ordinary people.

"Woo~!"

The girl subconsciously tensed up her whole body, and she stayed in Li En's arms, not daring to move.

"Thank you for your hard work, Lissandra. Take a good rest, even if it's only for a little while."

"...Um."

Listening to Li En's gentle words, Lissandra's tense body gradually relaxed and she responded softly.

Then she leaned her face sideways into Li En's arms and took the initiative to hug him with her arms.

One minute, two minutes, ten minutes...

Deep in the icy ground beneath their feet, a brilliant and deep purple light suddenly appeared.

Silently, the light spot crossed the ice layer that was more than ten kilometers thick at an unimaginable speed and approached the two people who were quietly hugging each other on the ice.

Then, a deep purple eye opened from under the ice, and Lien and Lissandra were right in the center of the pupil.

"Um!?"

Li En realized something and looked down suddenly. When he saw the terrifying one-eyed man, he was about to open his mouth to warn him.

“Crack! Crack! Crack!”

Lissandra, who was originally in his arms, had turned into a dark blue human-shaped ice cube at some point. They squeezed and spread, emitting a biting cold that slowly wrapped around Li En.

"Haha~! Thank you Li En, to be honest, your embrace is very warm~!"

Along with a proud and indifferent voice, a cold and majestic figure slowly emerged from the icy land.

Her entire body was wrapped in a dress made of dark blue ice, which looked like a long skirt and also like armor. Under her feet, layers of ice clusters gathered together, making her figure taller than two meters.

Like the ice flowing on a thawing river in summer, the ice under Lissandra's feet surged, carrying her to ten meters away from Li En.

Li En stared at her silently, allowing the dark blue ice to crawl all over her body.

"Don't waste your time, Li En.

Your ability to manipulate dreams is indeed amazing, but under the power of Dark Ice, you can't break free at all."

With his head still able to move, Li En glanced at the greedy and hungry purple eye under the ice layer, and then looked at Lissandra.

"So, the previous lie was just for this moment?"

"That's right, I was originally troubled by your existence, but who knew you would take the initiative to come into my dream to see me.

Perhaps in the outside world you can fight with the primitive gods, but in dreams, in front of the "Watcher", even the primitive gods in their prime can hardly resist its terrible and strange power.

It’s just a pity that Ashe and Sejuani didn’t come here.”

Wearing an exaggerated dark ice crown that covered her eyes and only revealed the lower half of her face, Lissandra "looked down" at Lien not far away.

"From now on, you will always be with 'it', but don't worry, Ashe and Sejuani will come to accompany you soon."

"Om~!"

The purple light slowly penetrated the ice layer, causing the ice layer under Li En's feet to gradually cave in.

"It seems that the time has come."

“Crack! Crack! Crack!”

The dark ice had already spread to Li En's mouth and nose. Unable to answer, he could only stare at the cold figure with his angry ice-blue eyes.

"Buzz~~!!"

The layer of pure ice between the purple one-eyed man and Li En completely melted away, and the dark ice that wrapped around Li En fell directly into the depths of the one-eyed man's pupil.

"The soul of a 'near god' should be enough to keep you quiet for a long time..."

Watching this scene quietly, Lissandra's brief joy disappeared quietly.

Feeding souls and dreams to the 'Watchers' can indeed calm their restlessness, but at the same time, it also allows these beings from unspeakable places to better understand the rules of this world. If this is not done, the 'Watchers' will probably break the seal at a faster speed.

Drinking poison to quench thirst is exactly what Lissandra is facing now.

But after paying the price of the lives of her two sisters and a group of followers, Lissandra could not accept the appearance of the "Watchers" in this world.

Even if it is like drinking poison to quench thirst, she has to keep doing it.

Until... the 'watchers' can no longer be satisfied by souls and dreams, or... she completely disappears from this world...

"Goodbye, Li En. Sweet dreams."

Looking at the gradually closing purple eye, Lissandra murmured something in a low voice and slowly returned to the True Ice Land.

“Crack~!”

"Um!?"

“Crack! Crack! Crack!”

Countless fine cracks appeared on the perfect ice land at an unimaginable speed.

next moment.

“Boom~!!!”

The icy ground shook and roared, and thousands of meters of ice layer shattered and exploded in an instant. Among the ice crystals scattered all over the sky, a mountain made of entangled, flesh-like substances roared and tore through the ice layer, rushing towards the sky.

Only when it reached a height of several thousand meters did the growth of the mountain slowly stop. The surface of the original flesh-like substance quickly hardened into a chitinous shell-like substance.

Thousands of meters away, Lissandra saw an incredible figure, leaning casually on the throne at the top of the mountain, his deep and gorgeous purple eyes staring at her quietly.

Then, the figure on the throne slowly sat up straight, lowered his head and looked down at Lissandra on the ground, and a gentle voice sounded in her ears.

"Hello again, Lady Lissandra."

“Who…are you?!”

"Haha~! As you can see, my name is Li En, and I'm a human."

"..."

Lissandra didn't say anything, but just stared at Li En.

"I urge you not to take such futile actions, Lissandra.

The dream you constructed based on the dream of the 'observer' itself is indeed ingenious, just like no matter how strong a person is, he cannot lift himself up by grabbing his hair.

Maybe in the outside world you are Lissandra, one of the 'Three Ice Sisters', but now in front of the power of the 'Void Watcher', the master of dreams, what tricks can you play?"

Faced with Li En's ridicule, Lissandra, who was not restricted from speaking, remained silent.

At this moment, just as at that moment.
