Legends of Runeterra

"Small..."

Before Leona could even scream, Diana, who was already on guard, poured the "power of the stars" into the moon blade.

"Boom~!"

“Gah!”

Pale moonfire burst into flames, and with a sharp, teeth-grinding friction sound, the moon blade was pulled out from the skinned palm.

"Ouch~~!!"

The howling, like a roar or a wail, shattered the lump of flesh.

Fortunately, Diana chose to retreat steadily the moment she drew out the Moon Blade, avoiding the dark red flesh flying all over the sky.

“Tick-tick~!”

Dark red liquid fell from the sky, and Li En and the other two used their own methods to prevent it from falling on them.

“Rustle~Rustle~!”

The dark red rain soon became denser. The three of them looked up and found that the moon, which was covered with blood and flesh, had returned to its original appearance. However, its color was now as scarlet as the rain.

In the dark red blood rain, a humanoid monster more than three meters tall, made up of dark red muscles and gray-white tendons, with countless tentacles densely growing on its body and twitching slightly, stood quietly in the rain.

Although his appearance is evil and ferocious, there is a hint of compassion in it, as if a devil and a clergyman were crushed together and then reassembled, which is weird and terrifying.

Suddenly, the monster that was standing quietly raised its hands. Just when Diana and the others thought it was going to attack, they saw the monster covering its face with its hands.

"Woooooo~!"

Sad sobs came from under the monster's palm.

"This monster... is crying!?"

"No matter what it was before, it is definitely not normal now. You two, let's put it to rest!"

"Of course I know that, but I've never seen such a situation before so I sigh."

Hearing Li En's reminder from behind, Leona hurriedly explained.

Before she became a 'Star Spirit', the enemies she faced were either wandering bandits or some ferocious beasts, and the most dangerous ones were just some wizards or cult members.

This was the first time the two of them faced this strange and terrifying evil existence.

“Da~da~da~!”

Diana, who had been staring at the monster from the beginning, walked silently towards the monster who was crying with his face covered.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

As if it sensed someone approaching, the continuous sobbing gradually subsided.

The monster slowly lowered his hands, and on his face, which was flowing with tears or blood, nine eyes of different sizes and asymmetrical positions, as if they were snatched from an innocent person and then randomly placed on his face, all turned to look at the person who came.

"Om~!"

Without any words, Diana transformed into a ray of bright moonlight, evaporating the fine rain of blood that kept falling, and suddenly rushed towards the twisted and blasphemous humanoid monster.

“Tear it up~!”

The blow was not held back at all, but only tore a cut of more than ten centimeters in the skinned dark red muscle.

Compared with the monster's three-meter-tall body, it is somewhat insignificant.

"Ouch~~!!!"

The nine pupils of different colors twitched and trembled, and then instantly turned scarlet.

As the humanoid monster roared violently, Diana clearly saw that inside the monster's bloody mouth, there were densely packed eyeballs, spreading all the way to the depths of the monster's throat.

"Ahhhh~!!!"

In the moment of eye contact, countless shrill wails suddenly exploded in Diana's ears.

"careful!"

"Boom~!"

A violent golden-red fireball rushed in front of Diana, and the Holy Sun Shield, burning with the blazing fire of the sun, suddenly faced the monster's tearing claws.

“Dang! Sizzle!”

The sharp claws tore through, and before the monster could launch a second attack, a ray of moonlight rushed out from behind the Holy Shield of the Fiery Sun.

“Tear it up~!”

The moon blade passed by, leaving another wound on the dark red muscle.

"Roar~~!!!"

The sharp claws were raised high, just before they fell.

"Dang~!!"

The Holy Shield of the Fiery Sun, which was made entirely of golden-red metal and was as tall as a person, slammed heavily into the monster's face. Several of its eyeballs exploded under this blow, and black liquid gushed out.

“Purification!!”

"Shua~!"

The moonlight and the sun's flames flickered continuously, the silver-white moon blade and the golden-red holy sword intertwined, and Diana and Leona suppressed the blasphemous beast without any words of communication, leaving it without any resistance.

This monster, which almost wiped out the two major sects, could only roar endlessly while enduring scars that appeared on its body.

...

"Dang~!"

"Hoo~~!!"

In the distance, Li En quietly watched the monster being suppressed by Diana and the others.

During these ten minutes or so, the two of them left countless scars on the monster, the accumulated scars were so deep that the bones were visible.

However, although the monster seemed to be wailing, its breath did not weaken at all. Even though it was weak, Li En felt that it was still getting stronger.

“Rustle~Rustle~!”

The fine blood rain was still falling from the sky. Li En looked up and saw the blood moon hanging quietly above the dark sky.

"Diana, Leona, this monster is constantly absorbing the power of the Blood Moon. It is now just using you to accelerate its own growth!"

Li En's voice rang in the minds of the two men. Having been prepared in advance, they did not panic at all and still maintained the intensity of the battle.

'Li En, what should we do now?'

'This monster is too fast. It's hard for us to hit it with our previous explosive power moves!'

Despite becoming 'Star Spirits' and possessing powers unimaginable to mortals, Diana and Leona are still in the exploratory stage in how to use this enormous power and lack a decisive killing move.

The previous destruction of the thousands-meter-long flesh and blood aggregate was nothing more than the simplest explosion of 'Star Power'.

"Don't worry about that. Let me take care of the 'blood moon' above your head. The moment I smash it to pieces, it will be your turn to kill this monster."

'clear! ’

'no problem!'

The moment Diana and the others agreed.

"Buzz~~!!!"

It was as if the Giant God Peak was rising from the ground behind him, vast, majestic, and exuding an endless domineering aura as it soared into the sky.

Compared with the aura at this moment, the malice of the flesh and blood aggregate when it descended before was as ridiculous as an ant under the feet of an adult.

Such a terrifying aura made even Diana and Leona pause in surprise.

As for the monster that was suppressed by the two men, it was now standing still.

"Is this... Li En's true strength!?"

The same voice echoed in Diana and the other person's hearts.

After a brief moment of surprise, a deep sense of security filled their hearts.
