Legends of Runeterra

Contrary to common sense, the spear filled with magic actually continued to accelerate after leaving Nidalee's hand.

It almost brushed past Rengar's cheek, and he could clearly see the complex patterns on the conical stone spearhead that were illuminated by magic.

“Dang~~!!”

The spear collided with the blade arm, and the huge force caused the angle of the blade arm to deviate.

In that instant, Rengar seized the opportunity and rolled back, escaping the attack range of the blade arm.

"Thank you. Also, be careful with this monster. It can hide..."

Holding a blade with an obvious gap in its blade, Rengar thanked the man without even turning his head, his eyes fixed on the purple-black monster. However, to his surprise, the monster, whose attack missed its target, did not hide as it had done before, but instead stood there stiffly.

"Click~Click~!"

Under Rengar's doubtful gaze, the ferocious and cunning monster began to tremble and shake all over, retracting its fierce and sharp blade arms, and shrank its entire body as it knelt on the ground.

'How can it be! ? '

With this doubt in his heart, Rengar turned his body slightly and glanced in the direction where the monster was kneeling.

A Vastaya girl with purple flowers on her head and a long green tail. The moment Rengar saw those innocent eyes, he excluded her.

The other black-haired woman who wore an animal tooth necklace and had a pair of sharp green eyes gave off a sense of threat.

He glanced at the spear that had saved him and was stuck in the ground. It was obviously thrown by the other party.

But this opponent, who could at best only compete with him, could never make the monster so frightened.

“Rustle~Rustle~!”

There was a sound coming from the dense bushes not far away. As Rengar was on guard, the weeds and bushes fell to the sides, and a tall and straight figure slowly appeared.

"How is it, Li En, is everything okay?"

"Yeah, no problem, there's nothing else behind this guy."

Glancing at Kha'Zix who was kneeling on the ground, Li En's face was extremely calm.

If it were when he first came to the Shurima continent, Kha'Zix would be considered an extremely dangerous existence.

But at this point, even the 'Queen of Void' was born because of the unique 'Void' in his body. A mere Kha'Zix is ​​really not worthy of being on the stage.

Li En only released a trace of his own 'Void Breath', which made Kha'Zix tremble with fear.

Ignoring the other party, Li En turned his gaze to the Vastaya standing beside him like a lion.

When those dark and peaceful eyes looked over, Rengar did not feel any guard in his heart, just like the green grass and branches that could be seen everywhere in the jungle, natural and harmonious.

This feeling was familiar and awakened Rengar's long-lost memory. When he was expelled from the tribe, this was the feeling he got when the "legendary hunter" Malcon's blade was pressed against his neck.

Then, Rengar was awakened from this harmony.

He realized that the other party was a powerful "hunter" who was far beyond his imagination and whose strength was greater than his own.

Although the colorful wreath on the black-haired man's head was obviously the work of the girl with flowers on her head, Rengar did not dare to look down on him even if he played with the little girl.

Meeting the other person's gaze, Rengar saluted with the blade in hand.

"My name is Rengar. Thank you all for your help."

"Hehe~! You're welcome, you're welcome. I'd be happy if you don't mind that Neeko almost didn't help~!"

Neeko scratched her head and smiled apologetically. Nidalee nodded coldly, picked up the spear on the ground and walked to Li En.

"You're welcome. I'm Li En. Besides, this monster is our target."

"this..."

Upon hearing this, Rengar was slightly stunned, and a trace of confusion flashed across his face.

"Mr. Rengar, if you have anything to say, just speak up."

"Uh...Lee En...sir."

Rengar recalled and used the respectful title that humans used to address their superiors.

"I... Actually, I am not a member of the meat-toothed beast tribe in the jungle. I was expelled because I was weak when I was young. Now I want to prove that I am qualified to join the tribe, and my goal..."

"That's the guy, isn't it?"

"...Yes, Chief Pongaf made this request."

"As long as you have trophies that prove you've hunted, that's all that's needed, right?"

"According to the rules... yes."

"okay."

Li En nodded, then looked at Kha'Zix who was kneeling on the ground.

Although Kha'Zix's trembling became more obvious after feeling Li En's gaze, it did not dare to make any move to escape.

When Rengar saw Kha'Zix's appearance and experienced the horror of this monster personally, he suddenly felt unbelievable.

This kind of behavior of being extremely frightened but not daring to escape is simply against the instinct of life.

On the contrary, Nidalee and Neeko, who had already witnessed Li En's strength, stood beside him as if it was a matter of course.

There was undisguised murderous intent in Nidalee's eyes as she looked towards Kha'Zix. Neeko was honest this time and no longer tried to use her talent to sense the other party's 'Shoma'. She just observed the monster not far away with curious eyes.

"Hand over your arm."

"Hey~!"

Without any hesitation, Kha'Zix directly ejected his blade arm and chopped down at his own shoulder.

"Shua~!"

“Puff! Snap!”

Purple-black sticky blood gushed out, and two sharp and ferocious purple blade arms fell on the grass.

"Hoo~!"

Li En raised his hands slightly, and two blade arms floated in front of him.

After clearing away the 'power of the void' contained in it, Li En put away the arm that split Camille in two, and the other arm floated in front of Rengar again.

"Take it. I have another use for this thing. This should be enough for you to prove yourself, right?"

"Uh...yes, thank you Master Li En!"

Rengar was stunned for a moment, then took the blade arm with both hands and respectfully saluted to Li En to express his gratitude.

"Ah."

"Then... Lord Li En, I will take my leave now."

Rengar, noticing Li En's thoughts, offered to leave.

"Go ahead. If you become the chief of the meat-toothed beast tribe, remember to restrain them from entering the Paka jungle to hunt, otherwise..."

Li En didn't continue speaking, but instead gave a gentle smile.

But it was such an ordinary smile, but it made Rengar's hair stand on end and his whole body stiffen.

At this moment, he seemed to understand the monster's feelings.

"Yes, Master Li En, I've remembered it, please rest assured!"

"Ah, very good."

As Li En smiled and nodded, the suffocating sense of crisis that made him unable to even muster the will to resist quietly receded.

“Also, I would like to remind you that the arrival of an outsider who is too powerful is a threat to the leader, no matter what his attitude is.

The capable will make the outsiders submit, while the incompetent...will make them 'quiet'."

"...I...I understand. Thank you, Master Li En!"

"Go."

"Goodbye, my Lord. Goodbye, you two."

Bowing, Rengar collected the "trophies" and turned away quickly without looking back.
