Legends of Runeterra

"Buzz~~!!"

Just as Jella tried to manipulate the vines, an invisible force field appeared, trapping everything within a hundred meters.

"plum..."

"That's great, Li En, you came to save me so quickly!!"

"I was worried that you might be in danger while tracking that monster, so I left a small tool on you, Nicole, to detect your safety. I hope you won't be angry."

“Crackle~Crackle~!”

As Li En spoke, the dark green vines wrapped around Nidalee and the other person were directly crushed and disintegrated by the invisible force field.

Leaping lightly, Nicole changed back into human form in mid-air and landed in front of Li En.

"Hehe~! No way, thank you Li En!"

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

Following behind Neeko, Nidalee, who had also transformed into human form, thanked her unnaturally.

As a famous jungle hunter, Nidalee was rescued again and again by Li En in her home turf. She felt indescribably embarrassed.

Besides that, even though they had only known each other for a short time, every time Nidalee looked into Li En's eyes, she felt an indescribable sense of security... and a strange feeling surging in her heart.

"How's it going? You're not hurt, are you?"

"It's okay, Li En, you came too quickly, she only had time to threaten us!"

"Well, Li En, this guy said you have one of her things."

"Is that so? Sorry, you guys are implicated because of me."

"It's okay Lee En, this vine woman is the bad guy!"

"Well, wait for me for a moment, I will deal with this trouble first."

Rubbing Neeko's head, Li En smiled at Nidalee, then turned and looked at the vine figure imprisoned by the invisible force field.

"Well, ma'am, I'm Li En, and if I remember correctly, this should be the first time we meet.

Excuse me, what is yours here with me?"

As Li En asked, Jella felt herself regaining control of the vines.

"Humph! Human, I was careless this time. Next time, I will definitely make you hand over the things willingly!!"

Without the certainty of completely retrieving the 'World Rune Fragment', Jella would naturally not tell anyone about the magic resin.

What if the other party had not discovered the secret originally, but after what I said, it attracted his attention and caused the "World Rune Fragment" to be discovered by him.

Of course, Jella would not do such a stupid thing.

After leaving behind these harsh words, Jella was about to cut off control of the vines and escape completely.

"Buzz~~!!"

The invisible force field spread out with a loud bang, and the jungle was directly crushed to create a straight road that was thousands of meters long.

“BOOM~~!!”

The ground of Ixtal roared and cracked again, and as the soil covered with the roots of countless trees surged and parted, a figure surrounded and protected by scarlet thorny vines emerged from it.

"Boom~~!!"

The atmosphere exploded with a roar, and the moment Jella tried to escape, a fist wrapped in golden and red flames stopped in front of her.

"Whoo~~!"

Her long scarlet hair fluttered behind her as she looked at the fist that was slowly calming down its golden-red aura. She had witnessed the power of this fist with her own eyes. Even the charred stone giant that was nearly a thousand meters tall was suppressed by the opponent and unable to fight back. Jella's stiff body still dared not move.

"Be thankful for your restraint. You didn't hurt them both. Otherwise... this punch would have landed on you."

"..."

Li En slowly retracted his fist and stared at the incarnation of nature in front of him, who was wearing a gorgeous long dress made of green leaves and had a seductive and charming appearance.

“What I hate most is anything that affects my peace of mind. Once I find it, I must erase it.

Now, tell me what's yours, or..."

"You're going to kill me?"

"It's up to you."

"The aura of that thing is in the magic pocket on your waist. It is a dark green solidified resin."

Li En thought for a moment, and then remembered the dark green pendant given by Shyvana, which contained a 'World Rune Fragment' of determination.

With a flip of his palm, a dark green pendant appeared in Li En's hand.

"This is it!!"

"Uh... this pendant, is it yours?"

"Of course, this magic resin was made by me personally!"

Recalling what Giles, Shivana's father, once said, after the other party fled to the jungle, a mysterious existence clashed with Iva, which allowed him to successfully escape Iva's pursuit.

At the same time, Giles picked up this dark green resin creation.

“Well, this was given by one of my elders to his daughter, who is also my love, and then she gave it to me.

I think it was taken away by my elder.”

As Li En spoke, he released the invisible force field from restricting Jella.

After all, it was Giles who took the other person's things.

Whether it is the bond talent that Jella can provide, or the great value contained in her ability as the incarnation of nature's wrath and the ability to manipulate plants at will, these two factors make Li En willing to give her a chance.

"He's a wizard?"

Feeling the aura of impending death gradually recede, Jella bravely asked a question.

"um, yes."

"I see..."

Seeing Jella first staring at the pendant in his hand, and then secretly observing his expression, with a tangled look of wanting to say something but not daring to, Li En took the initiative to speak.

“Although this is indeed yours, I’m sorry that this pendant was given to me by my lover and I cannot return it to you.

In addition, the 'World Rune Fragment' inside has been taken away and sealed by the Rune Guardian."

"What did you say? Rune Keeper!?"

When Jella heard Li En mention the "World Rune Fragment", her heart tightened at first, and then she looked at Li En in shock.

"Well, here you go. Take it and check it out if you don't believe me."

The pendant was handed to Jella. She hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help but reach out to take it.

"Om~!"

The item was returned to its original owner, and the dark green pendant immediately emitted a faint light under the resonance of magic.

"It's gone...it's really gone..."

Jella opened her eyes again and muttered to herself with a lost look on her face.

Jella, who had obtained the "World Rune Fragment", naturally wanted to look for the other fragments, but after some investigation, she learned that there was already an extremely powerful and ruthless mage who was also pursuing and recovering the "World Rune".

Given the opponent's strength, Jella could not possibly be the opponent of the mage, so for safety reasons, she took out the "World Rune Fragment" from her body and specially refined this dark green resin to isolate the aura.

And place it in the deepest part of the garden to allow the 'World Rune Fragment' to regain its power.

Unexpectedly, his efforts backfired and he ended up losing the 'World Rune Fragment'.

After risking her life to get such a result, Jella fell into an endless abyss of loss.
