Legends of Runeterra

"The Cult of the Moon still exists on Mount Targon? Why have I never heard of it before?!"

"Well... they are few in number and keep a low profile. It's normal that you haven't heard of them."

"Mr. Li En, now that I am a 'Moon Star Spirit', I should go check on the Bright Moon Sect anyway. Could you please tell me their exact location?"

"I'm sorry, I only know that they still exist, but I don't know their exact location, which is a secret among secrets."

"this..."

Diana stared at Lee En, and her first reaction was that Lee En didn't want to tell her.

But on second thought, it is just as Li En said, the Bright Moon Sect chose to act in secret, and there must be a reason why they had to do so.

A strong man like Li En has no connection with the Bright Moon Sect at all, so it is reasonable that no one knows his specific location.

Thinking of this, Diana's desire to leave and look for him became stronger.

"Mr. Li En, thank you for telling me this news. Now I must..."

"Don't worry, Ms. Diana. Although I don't know the exact location of the Bright Moon Sect, I can identify a place that is very important to them!"

"What location!?"

"An ancient holy temple - Guihaimalu Temple."

"Gui...Guihai Maruji?"

Diana repeated the difficult name, with confusion in her eyes.

This situation is normal. After all, Diana discovered the belief in the "moon" by relying on the ancient books that were torn up by humans in the internal collection of the Sun Cult.

It was natural that Diana had never heard of the 'Guihai Maru Temple', an ancient holy temple that was extremely secretive in the Bright Moon Sect.

“Yes, this holy temple that exists in another dimension is very important to the people of the Bright Moon Sect.

Only during the rare lunar conjunction does the temple briefly enter the physical realm."

Listening to Li En's introduction, a look of realization appeared on Diana's cold face.

"Mr. Li En, what do you mean..."

"Well, now Diana, you are already a 'Moon Spirit'. Although you cannot directly trigger the 'Moon Conjunction' phenomenon that covers the entire Runeland, you can easily simulate this spectacular phenomenon in a small range."

"So I'll act as soon as the sun goes down?"

"Of course, you are responsible for manipulating the celestial wonders, and I will sense the holy temple."

"Okay, Mr. Li En, thank you for your..."

“Just call me Li En. I think we should be able to trust each other by now. The title of ‘sir’ always feels a bit strange.

Besides, although I am quite strong, I am not an old monster. My appearance reflects my age."

"Okay...ok...then...Lee En?"

"kindness."

Li En nodded, a gentle smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

"Then Li En, just call me by my name. I'm not used to the term 'Madam'."

"Okay, Diana."

"Ah."

Under Li En's gaze, the coldness and awe on Diana's face dissipated slightly.

"Diana, who seems rational and difficult to approach, is actually more 'naive' than Leona."

Feeling Diana's recognition of him, Li En sighed silently in his heart.

But perhaps it was because she had received too much discriminatory treatment in the Sun Sect, so Diana faced outsiders with such a cold look.

"Li En, then... shall we wait here until night?"

"How about a change of place? You haven't eaten yet, right? Although you and I no longer need food to survive, I still like to keep this habit.

So I also brought some delicacies from various regions. How about eating some with me?"

"OK, all right."

Diana hesitated and nodded slightly.

"Buzz~!"

A space crack opened behind Li En. He turned sideways and raised his hand to signal, and then the two of them stepped into it.

...

In a dark valley somewhere between the Targon Mountains where even the sun cannot shine, monsters with strange and incomprehensible bodies, torn apart by different weapons, fell around a tall and thin man.

A hazy and slender figure was projected behind the man across dimensions.

"Brother, don't let go of the enemies in the distance!"

A distant and gentle voice sounded in the man's ears. Before his consciousness could react, his body had already responded. The man raised his right hand and reached back.

When he returned again, there was a strange weapon that was as green as jade.

Compared to some unknown cold weapon, this weapon is more like Piltover's rifle.

But its jade-like appearance makes it look more like a priceless collection that should be in a museum.

"Suck~! Huh~!"

Taking a long breath and trying to stabilize his body as much as possible, Aphelios held up the spear Tongbi with both hands.

The magic power from the highly toxic potion made from the strange and rare plant 'Night Blooming Flower' surged violently in his body.

"Buzz~!"

The magic power surging around Aphelios made the figure of Alune in another dimension clearer.

"Buzz~~!!"

It was like a full moon suddenly appearing overhead, and the light reached the location of the distant monster in an instant.

"Shua~!"

The light turned into green bullets, hitting each monster accurately.

The next moment, Aphelios raised a scarlet dagger with a cold expression.

“Tear it up~!”

The scarlet light spanned the vast distance and tore all the monsters in half.

"Hoo~!"

Seeing that no monster survived, Aphelios breathed a sigh of relief.

Turning her head slightly, the illusory figure of La Lune smiled at her brother, and then the illusory figure disappeared into the air.

Aphelios looked at the monster's body on the ground. The previously hard bone armor and steel teeth and claws began to decay at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The strange waxy white flesh and blood had turned into a pool of dark mud-like substance.

Seeing this, Aphelios lowered his head, closed his eyes, and formed a hand seal with his hands.

"Om~!"

The moon-like light spread out from Aphelios, purifying bit by bit the strange substances that the monsters' bodies had transformed into.

After more than ten minutes, all the strange substances disappeared, and the inexplicable and weird atmosphere in the surrounding environment also disappeared.

'Finally solved!'

Aphelios said this silently in his heart, breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to leave.

"Buzz~~!!"

There were violent fluctuations in the sky, and he raised his head suddenly. The originally ordinary night had turned into a rare "moon conjunction" night in decades.

Not only that, in Aphelios' perception, the originally distant connection became closer at a speed beyond imagination.

"La Lune!!"

Without any hesitation, Aphelios rushed to the place where the connection would descend - Guihai Maru Temple.
