Legends of Runeterra

Although it was her first time cooking in her life, the extremely talented Qiyana still learned and mastered it at an astonishing speed and successfully made a dish that was both delicious and beautiful.

After enjoying the meal, Ezreal leaned back in his seat and looked upwards as far as possible.

"Li En, this big guy has already absorbed all the bad guys from before, why is he still not moving?"

"Mr. Nezuk wants to try to adjust the structure of Malphite to see if he can restore some of the functions of the Monolith Fortress. We just need to wait for a while."

"Hiccup! I see. I was wondering why Mr. Nazuk suddenly disappeared. I'll sleep a little longer then."

Rubbing his bloated belly, Ezreal squinted his eyes in satisfaction, while Milio beside him was also "fishing" from time to time.

"Milio, you should take a break too."

"Okay, Li Enda...Hulu~Hulu~!"

The adventure all the way from the ruins had already made Milio extremely tired, and he fell asleep on the table before he could finish his words.

Ne'zuk entered Malphite's body in soul form. Ezreal and Milio fell asleep. Suddenly, only Li En and Qiyana beside him were still awake at the dinner table.

The slightly cool evening breeze blew past, and even though the two of them were still surrounded by the chaotic scene after the battle, Qiana felt that this was better than the scenery outside the Ixuokun Palace.

While enjoying the evening breeze and secretly observing Li En out of the corner of her eye, Qiyana was racking her brains to find a topic to chat about.

"The dish tonight tastes good, and the heat is well controlled. I like it very much."

"Hehe! I have mastered the 'Original Axiom' easily. Cooking is not that difficult."

"Indeed. By the way, this is for you."

Li En said, raising his right hand and stretching it in front of Qiyana.

"Om~!"

A blue light dot the size of a pigeon egg appeared in Li En's palm.

"This...this is..."

“What Mr. Nazuk gave me before contained his knowledge and insights.

I have just checked and removed some things that are not suitable for you to know. The remaining knowledge is safe, so you can study it with confidence. "

"Really...really want to give it to me!? This is..."

"Otherwise, is there anyone here who is more suitable than you to inherit this ancient elemental mage's legacy?"

Li En took Qiyana's hand and put it directly into her palm in front of her surprised look.

Closing Qiana's palm, the slender and warm hand gently held her hand, and Li En's dark and gentle eyes looked at her calmly.

"With your talent, you can still help me when you become stronger in the future, right?"

"..."

The two looked at each other for a while, their heartbeats accelerating involuntarily, and Qiyana turned her head slightly and lowered her head.

"Yeah...I will. I will definitely stand by you in the next fight!"

"Well, I believe you."

The warm and large palm left the back of her hand, and Qiana subconsciously felt a little reluctant, but her reason and increasingly rapid heartbeat made her sit upright.

Li En naturally heard the intense heartbeat of Yun Alai, so he didn't say anything else. He just sat quietly beside her and admired the clear night sky.

In the extremely distant sky, in the night space shining with stars, a steep, majestic and incredible mountain suddenly appeared in it.

"No matter when I see it, I will always be amazed by the majesty of Mount Targon..."

Looking at the scenery in the distance, Li En sighed silently in his heart.

Even from Ixtal, across the entire Shurima, one can see this magnificent mountain.

In this comfortable and reassuring atmosphere, Qiyana calmed down the emotions surging in her heart and remembered that Li En had never revealed the existence of the enemy along the way.

After hesitating for a long time, he couldn't suppress his curiosity and looked up at Li En.

"Lee En..."

"What's wrong, Qiyana?"

"Um...what on earth is the thing that invaded Ixtal this time?"

Qiana held the inheritance of Nazuk and looked up at Li En.

"Why...I feel like you don't want us to know?"

"Did you find out?"

"Isn't this obvious?"

"Okay, but I can only tell you the reason."

As Li En was speaking, Ezreal, who was sleeping soundly in a chair not far away, moved his eyelids quietly.

"Those bugs before were just the minions of that thing. The reason why I didn't want you to know about it is because just knowing about it will increase the chances of you being corroded and contaminated."

"Even knowing its name!?"

"That's right. I can't gamble with your safety."

"If you chant his name, you will feel something. Isn't this the same as a god?"

"In fact, it is more powerful than the 'god' you mentioned. The 'Ascended Gods' have not been able to defeat it. The glorious and invincible Shurima was destroyed because of it."

"..."

Hearing this, Qiyana was a little dazed.

She naturally believed that Li En would not deceive her. As Yun Alai, she only knew some vague words and fragments from Ixtal's collection of books. Now that this ancient secret was revealed by Li En himself, she found it difficult to digest it for a while.

"Then... then Li En you..."

"I have only had one goal, which is to live a peaceful life with the people I love and who love me.

Therefore, I must eliminate this hidden danger. "

"Well...I know..."

This time, Qiyana did not tell Li En about her promise to fight alongside her, but she quietly clenched the Nazuk inheritance in her hands.

"Om~!"

Thousands of meters away from everyone, the elements were fluctuating faintly.

"It seems that the people from Ixuokun have finally arrived."

"Humph! How lazy!"

Qiyana carefully put away the inheritance of Nazuk and stood up with the Auretal Ring Blade in her hand.

"Om~!"

Looking into the distance, a magic circle with a diameter of twenty centimeters formed in front of her.

"I am the daughter of the Lord of the Yuntar throne, Qiana Yuntar. Why don't you come and pay your respects to me!!"

The proud voice that came from instinct spread clearly and loudly into the distance.

After a while, just as Qiyana narrowed her eyes slightly.

“Swish! Swish! Swish!”

Elemental mages holding ring blades appeared from the jungle in the distance and rushed over at a high speed.

"Commander of the Road Guards, Kazas, greetings to Yun'ala!"

"Meet Yun Alai!"

With their arms crossed over their chests, the road guards all performed the Ishtar salute to Qiana.

"Get up."

"Yes, thank you Your Highness!"

Although everyone tried to maintain a respectful demeanor as they stood up, their eyes could not help but converge on the huge mythical figure in the distance behind Qiyana.

With a proud smile, Qiyana was about to speak.

"Buzz~~!!"

A vast ocean of earth elemental power emerged, and under the horrified gaze of the road guards, the huge giant slowly moved.
