Legends of Runeterra

"Okay, let me wake him up."

"Oh, okay Master Li En."

"I'm counting on you, Lord Li En."

The two men stood up and saluted, then made way and watched Li En come to Atreus.

"Om~!"

A golden-red flame rose from Li En's palm and flew out in three parts.

The larger of the two fell on Atreus, and the smaller two fell on Akshan and the other two.

Suddenly, the two of them felt as if their whole bodies were soaked in cool water. The comfortable feeling made them squint their eyes involuntarily.

Until I came to my senses again.

"Eh? Brother Akshan, you..."

"My arm doesn't hurt anymore! The blood stains on my body are gone!"

The two men looked at each other. Although their clothes were inevitably a little tattered, the injuries they had suffered before had all disappeared at this moment. They felt indescribably refreshed and strong all over their bodies. It would not be difficult for them to fight again.

"Thank you, Li Enda..."

"Okay, don't be so polite. Aren't the people of the desert all generous and forthright?"

Seeing Li En smiling and teasing, the two of them showed some embarrassment on their faces to varying degrees.

Akshan and Kuisanti were indeed not the kind of people who were shy, but after seeing Li En's strength and methods, the two of them, who had known him for less than an hour, inevitably felt awe in their hearts.

After repeatedly feeling Li En's approachable and gentle attitude, the fear in their hearts gradually subsided.

"Hahaha~! Okay, it's us..."

"Cough cough cough~!"

As soon as Akshan opened his mouth, a weak cough was heard.

The two of them hurriedly looked down and saw Atreus, who had no signs of life and looked like dead, coughing and slowly opening his eyes.

"You are awake, my friend, how do you feel?"

"Friend, are you okay?"

Two faces, each with their own characteristics but both of them looking like rough men, came closer, and Atreus's dazed eyes gradually focused.

Then, as if he realized something, the pupils of this man who had 'come back from the dead' shrank.

next moment.

"Shua~!"

There was a flash of a figure, and Atreus appeared nearly ten meters away.

The same golden flame that Quesanti had seen earlier rose again from the top of the other's helmet.

"Om~!"

A spear and a huge shield, also shining with golden light, suddenly flew from a distance and fell into the man's hands.

The muscular upper body without any armor suddenly appeared with many golden lines, and the skin was also stained with a dark golden luster.

Originally he was just a warrior who looked extremely strong, but now he gave Akshan and Quesanti a sense of oppression like a 'god'.

Seeing this, Quesanti, who had already seen the other party's strength, stepped forward and began to explain despite the pressure.

"Wait, we..."

"Papa~!"

"It's alright, you two. Let me explain."

Li En gently patted the broken armor still hanging on Quesanti's arm, then smiled and blocked the two of them behind him.

The two looked at Li En's back, and an inexplicable sense of security came over them, and they immediately stood quietly behind him.

"..."

Under the 'T'-shaped helmet, two golden dots of light flickered, which were still very clear even under the scorching sun.

Gentle and peaceful dark eyes stared at the other person, and Li En's gaze swept across the scar on Atreus' chest that almost split him in two.

This is the scar left by the Darkin Sword Demon Aatrox on his...or rather, 'Him'.

It was precisely because of this scar that Atreus was able to break free from the control of the 'Giant God of War' over his body and regain ownership of it.

Of course, the price he paid was that the 'Star Power' he possessed was pitifully little compared to Leona and the others.

As for the 'Giant God of War', Li En, who had personally fought against the Darkin Sword Demon, did not believe that a mere Aatrox could cause any real damage to such a being.

Among the agents of the 'Giant God of War', each of them is called a 'Pantheon'. Atreus' predecessor died in the aftermath of the breath of the Star Forging Dragon King that closed the 'Void Rift'.

And through this 'accidental injury', this supreme being, with the help of the 'War Protoss' agents spread across various planets in the universe, is suspected to have found the 'flaw' of the Titans.

Li En was not sure what the current condition of the 'War Giant' was, but what Aatrox said about injuring the 'War Giant' was most likely just an excuse for the other party to hide.

A myriad of information flashed through his mind, and Li En let Atreus explore him, looking at him with a gentle smile on his face.

Looking at the black-haired, black-eyed, gentle man opposite him, Atreus was still on guard, but the sense of crisis in his heart was not as strong.

When he woke up from his coma, he vaguely felt the breath of the 'Star Spirit'.

Ever since he climbed to the top of Mount Targon and had his body seized by the despicable 'Giant God of War', Atreus has been extremely wary and fearful of any existence related to the 'Giant God'.

This emotion is comparable to that of the disgusting and terrifying 'Darkspawn'.

But when Atreus cautiously investigated the other party, he found that the other party seemed... not to be the agent chosen by a certain "Giant God".

The aura on his body is not so much that of a 'star spirit' as it is that of the aura acquired from long-term contact with these beings.

This made Atreus more confused while on guard.

"Hello, if I'm not mistaken, you are Mr. Atreus, right?"

"..."

"Who are you?"

"My name is Li En, and I just came from the Rakkor tribe in Mount Targon."

"The Rakkor tribe..."

When he suddenly heard the name of his tribe, a trace of nostalgia quietly arose in Atreus' heart.

"What is your relationship with those two 'Star Spirits'?"

"Friends, together we have solved the monster from hundreds of years ago, and at the same time resolved the misunderstanding between the two major sects of the Sun and the Moon."

"..."

To be honest, Atreus was a little confused when he heard this.

As a former member of the Rahorak, Atreus knew clearly that anything related to the Moon was a taboo in the Solari Cult, and no one was allowed to spread or discuss it.

And now that Li En spoke, the misunderstanding between the two major sects was resolved, and from his words, the two "star spirits" were the star spirits of the "sun" and the "moon".

"I know it's hard to believe, but the Lakkor tribe is there. If you're interested, just go explore."

"..."

Seeing that Atreus didn't reply to him, Li En continued to speak without caring.

"Speaking of which, I know your name, Mr. Atreus, because Ms. Iura, whom I met not long ago, told me."

"What did you say!?"
