Legends of Runeterra

Chapter 707 'Key'

Under the cover of night, the city of Mittel, with a permanent population of nearly 100,000, was dead silent.

From a distance, it looks like a school that is bustling during the day suddenly becomes quiet at night. This counterintuitive situation makes people feel dangerous instinctively.

"Om~!"

A space crack opened up right above the city of Miter, and Morgana slowly walked out of it.

Looking down at the city shrouded in shadows that even the moonlight could not illuminate, a look of compassion gradually appeared on Morgana's face.

She has been guarding this land since the Rune Wars until now. It can be said that, apart from Li En and Kyle, who is far away in heaven and whose situation is still unknown, the people living on this land are what she values ​​most.

Now that the leader of the ten demons is wreaking havoc, Morgana's heart is already filled with anxiety and anger.

“Hula~!”

The black and purple wings spread out.

"Buzz~~!!!"

A complex magic circle appeared under Morgana's feet, and in a few breaths it expanded to cover the entire city of Miter.

"The brighter the light, the brighter the shadow.

Light and darkness complement each other, and resistance balances each other. "

“Crash~!!!”

As Morgana chanted hymns, endless soul shackles shining with black and purple light fell from the magic circle like a wave, crossing the barriers between dimensions and rushing towards the city of Miter that continued to fall into the demon realm.

“Ding-dong~!”

Under Morgana's control, the chains precisely wrapped around every mortal who fell into a terrifying nightmare.

“Gaa ...

Countless crows uttering sharp and mournful cries appeared from all directions and swooped down towards Morgana frantically, blocking out the sky and the sun. For a moment, even the night was replaced by them.

"Tariq!"

"understand!"

Blue-purple crystals floated above the huge and exaggerated shoulder armor. Tariq, holding a one-handed hammer with a circular magic ball, appeared from the space hundreds of meters away.

He raised his right arm, which was not wearing any armor, and a blue-purple constellation pattern spread from his palm to his forearm.

Eyes filled with blue-purple energy stared straight at the dark sky.

"In the name of the 'Guardian Star Spirit', respond to me, the glory of the universe!!!"

"Buzz~~!!!"

"Boom~!!!"

A beam of light with a diameter of one hundred meters shot up into the sky, tearing the flock of crows above their heads into pieces and flying straight into the more distant night sky.

"Ahhhh~!!!"

In order to ensure the safety of the people in the city, Taric, who had just become a Protoss, mobilized the most powerful move of the Guardian Protoss - "Glory of the Universe".

The consequence was that Taric's body was under tremendous pressure, but he was not like the sisters Morgana and Kayle, who followed their mother Misira to undergo the ceremony of promotion from mortals to Protoss while still in conception.

Tariq's body, which had just been sublimated for the first time, could not withstand such a huge energy mobilization. Burning scars gradually appeared on his face and exposed skin.

"Hold on, Tariq!"

Morgana waved her right hand lightly towards Tariq who was hundreds of meters away, and a purple-black circular shield covered him.

"Huhuhu~!"

"Thank...thank you, ma'am..."

The pressure suddenly eased, and Tariq subconsciously opened his mouth to say thank you, but he felt a tearing pain and a faint taste of blood in his mouth, and at the same time he felt resistance when he opened his eyes.

Only then did he react. Under the burning of the star power that had exceeded the limit and was on the verge of being out of control, the skin around his lips and eyes melted and stuck together.

...

"Om~!"

In the pitch-black world, space twisted and rotated under a force beyond the imagination of mortals, and a petite figure jumped out from it.

"What a boring place! There's not even a butterfly to be seen. No wonder a scarecrow like you has to sleep every day."

Zoe turned her neck and looked around casually with her heterochromatic eyes.

"Hmm... let me think... got it!"

Zoe made a circle with her right index finger and thumb, and then blew hard at the circle.

"Hoo~!"

“Puff~Puff~Puff~!”

A series of bubbles with colorful lights flowing on their surfaces and different butterflies inside gushed out, filling the space around Zoe.

“Po~Po~Po~!”

Bubbles burst one after another, but more bubbles were produced. Soon, except for the area covered by dim lights not far away, the pitch-black world instantly turned into a wonderful and beautiful dream.

"Hehe~! This looks much better. Li En will definitely like this surprise I prepared for him when he wakes up!

How should I tell him...

'Hi, my name is Zoe.'

No, that's too boring.

'Hello dear, would you like to go to heaven with me to play?'

Hmm...will it scare him? After all, he doesn't seem to trust the giant very much..."

With Li En and the others in the distance as the direction, Zoe was floating upside down in the air, her little face full of confusion, and her dreamy and beautiful long hair was a little messy because of her hands.

Even if calculated by Runeterra time, Zoe has been away from here for hundreds of years. During these days of wandering in the universe, she has seen countless planets and their creatures, but this is the first time that she has truly been interested in a person from the bottom of her heart.

“Crack~!”

Li En, with his head covered with a tattered cloth covered with dark red blood stains, suddenly raised his head and looked at Zoe, then returned to his original posture.

"Wow~!"

"By the way, we need to separate Li En and Him first!"

Zoe, who was originally nervous, immediately remembered the important things she should do after being looked at by Fiddlesticks hiding in Li En's body.

With her right hand, she gently touched the pendant on her chest, and an old and simple "key" appeared in Zoe's hand.

“Ding~Ding~!”

Zoe flicked the key gently and looked at Li En who was possessed by Fiddlesticks.

"Come here, little straw man, this is your 'key'!"

“Crack! Crack! Crack!”

Li En raised his head mechanically, his dark eyes fixed on the "key" in Zoe's hand.

"..."

“Crack! Crack! Crack!”

After a moment of silence, Li En once again withdrew his gaze and ignored it.

"Huh? How come you don't even want your 'key'?"

A trace of astonishment flashed across Zoe's face. This "key" was not taken from Fiddlesticks by her, but by a Twilight Aspect.

They look like 'keys', but in fact, the 'Devil's Head' was too powerful when he was born. He instinctively divided a large portion of his power and turned it into three 'keys'.

The Twilight Protoss took it so that Fiddlesticks would never be perfectly "born".

He is unable to possess the "wisdom" like the other nine demons, and can only maintain his current blind and stupid state.

Now the opportunity to make up for the origin is right in front of him, but Fiddlesticks simply ignores it. This situation inevitably surprises Zoe.
