Legends of Runeterra

"Bang~!"

The fierce and terrifying gale did not last too long. After just a few seconds, Ambesana's strong body, which was more manly than a man, fell to the ground like a rag bag.

With an angry look on his face, he had been waiting for Wei for a long time and was about to raise his right leg.

“Mother! Don’t!!”

“Mel!!”

A slender figure fell on top of Ambesa, followed closely by Jace, who was holding a hammer and had an apologetic and conflicted look on his face.

“Crack~!”

She slowly clenched her fist, and at this moment, a slender and warm hand gently held her fist.

Wei turned her head and saw Li En looking at her with a smile.

Wei let out a light breath and slowly lowered his right leg which had been standing on tiptoe.

"Humph! Serves him right, this guy is so despicable!"

Glancing at Abesa lying on the ground in a pool of her own blood, Wei cursed with disdain.

"Don't be angry, Wei, you've done a good job."

"If you hadn't let me delay, I would have finished her off long ago!"

Wei complained softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Yeah, I know. Thank you for your hard work, Wei. Leave the rest to me."

"Don't let this despicable guy go, she actually..."

Although Wei was very aware of Li En's strength, she naturally knew that Abesa's sneak attack would not achieve any results. It would be better to say that she was seeking her own death.

But her behavior undoubtedly touched Wei's most unforgivable point. If Li En had not pulled her back in time, Jace, Mel, and Abesa would have been kicked into the wall by her.

After all, the only one of the three that Wei is more familiar with is Jace, who "betrayed" Zephyr Industries halfway, and he is of no use to her at all.

"Well, I know that if she lives, she will have to bear a big responsibility."

"Hmph! I hate these twists and turns the most. I'm going back to Zaun first and see if Fandel and the others still need help."

"Don't worry, those alchemy barons won't cause any trouble."

"But I'm worried that Baobao will get into trouble again."

"Let them provoke us. Anyway, the territories of the alchemy barons will be torn down and rebuilt. It doesn't matter even if they are blown up."

"You... just spoil her. She is getting more and more naughty now. It's all because of you, Li En..."

"That can't be helped. After all, Baobao is your sister. If I don't spoil her, who else should I spoil?"

The clenched fist had already melted in Li En's palm. Feeling the other party gently squeezing her palm, facing Li En's dark and gentle gaze, Wei's face showed a faint blush.

She glanced subconsciously out of the corner of her eye. Fortunately, Mel and the other two nearby were paying attention to Abesa, and the nobles of Piltover were still perfectly maintaining the posture of an ostrich in distress. No one noticed her posture at the moment.

"I...I'm leaving first!"

After saying this, Wei walked quickly towards the door.

Wei, who showed no fear at all in the face of the iron death net constructed of chains and black steel blades, now had a look of fleeing from behind.

"Haha~!"

Looking at Wei's back, Li En's mouth curled up slightly. Even though they both knew each other well, her occasional shyness was the most beautiful scene for a girl of this age.

...

"Mother, mother, mother, you..."

Mel, lying on top of Ambesa, gently and carefully held her in his arms.

The black steel armor that had withstood countless swords and arrows was now covered with traces of tearing and cutting.

From the countless cuts and tears, warm and sticky liquid flowed out, soaking Mel's skirt.

She felt that with every wetness on her skirt, the mother in her heart who once seemed omnipotent became colder.

The terrifying situation of feeling the life of a loved one slipping away bit by bit made the youngest councillor of Midalda completely confused. He could only call out to Ambesa blankly over and over again.

However, Ambesa lay in Mel's arms with her eyes closed, her face pale and calm, as if she was asleep, without any response.

"Mel..."

Seeing that Mel was not in a good state, Jace didn't dare to disturb him easily, so he could only stand aside and call him softly.

But the other party just kept calling out to Abesa over and over again, without responding to him at all.

"You two, Ambersa is not dead yet."

The gentle voice made the dazed Mel look up suddenly. At this time, Li En was standing not far from her.

"Master Li En, please, please save my mother!!"

"Master Li En, please...please...help Mel."

Even though he had no good feelings towards his mother-in-law, Abesa, Jace couldn't help but make a request when he saw Mel, who was about to collapse.

"It's not impossible to save her, but it requires a price. What do you think?"

"No problem, any price is fine, even if you want the Midalda family!"

"No, it's not at this price. Medarda means nothing to me."

"Then Master Li En, you..."

"Anyway, let me save her first, and we can talk about the price later."

"Yes, thank you Master Li En!!"

"Thank you, sir!"

"Ah."

Li En nodded slightly, then raised his hand to stop Mel from getting up and walking away.

"It's okay. Just hold her like this. It's just some minor injuries. If she hadn't attacked me by surprise and was defeated honestly, it wouldn't have been like this at all."

Under the gaze of the two, Li En did not snap his fingers like he did before.

After all, Janna was still angry about Abesa's sneak attack. She was a gentle goddess of breeze, sure, but 'wind' not only had 'gentle breeze', there was also 'storm' and 'hurricane'.

This shameless sneak attack by Ambesa, which happened to be on Li En's side, undoubtedly made this gentle goddess angry. In addition, she was not from Shuangcheng, so she received such severe punishment.

Of course, even if someone from Shuangcheng did something to hurt Li En, Janna would not let him off easily.

Li En raised his palm slightly, palm facing down towards Ambesa.

"Om~!"

Golden-red spots of light fell from her palms onto Ambesa, melting into her body like spring snow.

Suddenly, Mel felt that the blood that had been flowing out of his mother's body seemed to have stopped.

The pale and weak face recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In less than ten breaths, the dying Abesa recovered to a state where, apart from the blood that soaked Mel's dress and the ground, she only looked a little weak.

"Mother, mother..."

Mel looked at Li En with gratitude, hugged Abesa and called softly.

And as if she heard the call of her loved ones, Ambesa's closed eyelids trembled slightly.

"Uh...cough cough cough~!"

He opened his eyes with a cough, but what he saw was his daughter's face.

"Mei...Mel you...you died too!?"
