In the alliance, the more they attack me, the stronger I become!

The three of them quickly descended into the abyss, where the horrifying cold quickly enveloped them. As they continued to descend, they could even hear the howling wind mingled with the wailing of wandering ghosts.

The Howling Abyss, the Bridge of Sorrow... This ancient site was once an ancient battlefield. Countless Iceborn perished here, and the legendary demigod faced the crisis of being killed here.

An entire tribe of snowmen became extinct here.

The light from the outside world quickly disappeared, and there was only endless darkness under the abyss. Even Ashe could not see anything.

But the three men's descent didn't slow at all. They advanced in the darkness, even faster than the Frostguards descending with their ropes.

After an unknown amount of time, they finally felt the solid and wide ground under their feet - or another kind of ice surface.

Moreover, they glimpsed a glimpse of light again.

It's the light of magic.

Illuminating a pale-skinned woman.

Not far in front of her stood another tall and elegant woman—the owner of this place, the Frost Witch.

"Yeah, our third player is finally here~"

Leblanc's teasing voice rang out in the darkness, fell, and even had a slight echo.

"Now that all the players are here, can we start the game?"

The arrival of the third person means everyone is here.

This statement was equivalent to directly ignoring Ashe and Sejuani beside Cheng Xiao, which made them both very unhappy.

But just as they were about to assume a fighting stance and make LeBlanc look at them, Lissandra, who was not far away, moved first.

A terrifying magical power flashed by, and two ice cones with sharp tips immediately protruded in front of Ashe and Sejuani.

It was only a few centimeters away from scratching their delicate cheeks.

At the same time, it also blocked their attack angle and separated them from LeBlanc.

This made the two of them stunned, but Leblanc, who witnessed everything, smiled with satisfaction:

"Not bad, not bad. It looks like our Player Two has completely immersed themselves in the role. That's good. The next game will be more interesting."

"Witch! Are you crazy?" The irritable Sejuani immediately started cursing.

But Lissandra ignored her and didn't even turn her head.

Her eyes, which could see nothing, were fixed on Leblanc's hand on the ice wall.

Ash on the side seemed to be thinking about something.

Cheng Xiao also immediately understood the current situation.

Obviously, LeBlanc has Lissandra in her control... This news is not considered bad news now.

Compared to seeing LeBlanc releasing the Void as soon as I arrived, the current situation is a pleasant surprise.

At least... there's still room for maneuver.

"LeBlanc, I advise you not to act rashly." Cheng Xiao said in a deep voice, "Don't you know what you're facing now? Don't you know what terrible consequences will result if you release them?"

"Hmm... I don't quite understand." Leblanc still had a nonchalant smile. "I can sense that the existence behind this ice layer is terrifying... Then what?"

"If you release them, you won't be able to escape!"

"Really? But I'm confident that no one can kill me~"

"Don't you understand? That's an existence that will destroy all of Runeterra!"

"How could such a powerful being exist? Besides, I have many, many clones. How could they possibly find me?"

“Even the Ascended Ones—”

Halfway through her words, Cheng Xiao suddenly realized something.

In the dim magical light, he saw the mockery in the other's eyes.

It was a provocation, a tease, and a...

conspiracy.

He got it.

LeBlanc wasn't completely clueless. Perhaps this woman hadn't witnessed the Void's terror firsthand, but she had dealt with the Darkin before, and certainly had some understanding of that legendary history... It was impossible for her not to know the Void's power.

It was an existence that even the Ascended Ones could not contend with. The great Shurima Empire fell overnight under the destruction of the Void.

There was no way LeBlanc hadn't sensed a familiar presence in the Void Watcher—the one responsible for the Ascendant's corruption into Darkin.

She knew very well that the Void was more terrifying than anything she had ever seen.

In front of the Void, even Mordekaiser, whom she had always feared, would probably become less important.

So there was no way she could think that she could escape after the Void descended.

In other words... in fact, she simply couldn't and didn't dare to release the Void Watcher.

She is acting.

She was pretending to know nothing as a way to threaten Lissandra, who didn't know enough about her.

In Lissandra's eyes, this "young man" had never seen the Void and didn't know the horror of the Watchers. He might really open the Gate of Destruction if he was unhappy.

Perhaps she also had a feeling that LeBlanc was bluffing her, but she... didn't have the capital to gamble. She didn't dare to gamble.

Everything she does now is to atone for the sins she once committed. She regards guarding the Void Watcher as her only mission and motivation to live. No matter what, she will not let the Watcher escape.

She took this duty of atonement more seriously than anything else.

She will do whatever it takes...

Just hope they can continue to sleep.

Even just one more day would be great.

As long as she keeps dragging it out, there's still a chance to find a way to seal them completely—this is her mission!

In this way, the situation becomes very clear.

But it is not optimistic either.

LeBlanc is acting, Lissandra is under threat, and Cheng Xiao is the only person caught in the middle.

Cheng Xiao looked at Lissandra, who was standing there in a daze, and with a last glimmer of hope, she shouted, "LeBlanc knows everything. She wouldn't dare release the Watcher. You don't have to be afraid of her!"

Lissandra didn't respond.

Leblanc feigned confusion and asked, "What do I know? How terrifying are these things? Of course I know. So, esteemed Frost Witch, why haven't you taken action yet? Do you really want me to release them?"

Lissandra still didn't move.

She neither followed Leblanc's threat to attack Cheng Xiao, nor did she attack Leblanc boldly because of Cheng Xiao's words.

She... hesitated.

Countless painful memories and the words of the two people kept lingering in her mind, almost crushing her nerves that had been tense for millions of years.

She almost...

collapse.

Chapter 58: Bad woman, this is my escape route!

Lissandra stood there without reacting, like a fine ice sculpture.

Seeing this, Cheng Xiao knew very well that his previous shouting was useless - Lissandra didn't dare to gamble, and there was no way she would attack LeBlanc just because of his words.

From her perspective, the uncertainty surrounding LeBlanc is too high.

Even if she had told LeBlanc that the Void Watchers would destroy everything, from her perspective, there was no way LeBlanc would believe her.

It’s like a person who has been caught telling the other party that her handle is actually a bomb, and if it is released, everyone will be killed... Will anyone believe it?

At least the party that is in an absolute advantage cannot easily believe it.

This is the power of information asymmetry.

This guy LeBlanc... has not devoted himself to studying magic for thousands of years, but has mastered these unorthodox ways to perfection.

In any case, this puts a lot of pressure on Cheng Xiao.

Not only does he have to be wary of LeBlanc's strange magic, but he also has to be careful about Lissandra attacking him under lies - that is a terrifying power that is not much different from a demigod.

Although Lissandra is not as strong as Volibear, she is definitely more than 5% of Volibear's strength.

In terms of comprehensive combat effectiveness, it is at least more than half of Volibear's.

If she was determined to obey Leblanc's threats...

Then, I will be unable to fight back.

"Be careful, we might have to face more than just Leblanc next..."

Cheng Xiao remained on high alert and carefully signaled the other two girls to disperse.

"We are also facing the most powerful magician the Freljord has seen in ten thousand years."

"That sounds terrible..." Ashe and Sejuani had obviously guessed Lissandra's thoughts and immediately retreated away from the ice cones in front of them.

The three parties formed a delicate balance.

LeBlanc absolutely dared not release the magic in her hand and awaken the Void Watcher. Lissandra was still in a very conflicted state, and Cheng Xiao was even more cautious under the "sandwich" of the two.

None of the three of them dared to attack anyone else.

but……

It's not a dead end.

Cheng Xiao now has one way to go - and it is the only way.

That is to find a way to make Lissandra believe his words, and let the most powerful Frost Witch among the three realize that LeBlanc is only strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and actually dare not release the Void Watcher at all.

To achieve this goal...

The best way is to prove it with actions.

"I will prove to you that she will not and dare not release the Void Watcher."

Cheng Xiao whispered to Lissandra, and then raised one hand.

Thunder immediately sounded in the sky outside the abyss.

Ashe and Sejuani were in tune with Cheng Xiao and understood his thoughts instantly, and immediately raised their weapons.

Before Lissandra could react, lightning struck the top of the abyss.

Pointing directly at LeBlanc's forehead.

"Wow~" Leblanc looked indifferent.

Obviously, the one who was more anxious than her was Lissandra - if lightning hit, there was no guarantee that the magic accumulated in LeBlanc's hands would be released uncontrollably and disturb the sleeping Void Watcher.

"Don't mess around!"

Lissandra raised her eyebrows, and countless hard ice suddenly formed, forming a ceiling-like existence to block the falling lightning.

Rumble...!

A terrifying muffled sound hovered above everyone's heads, and Lissandra's expression was not good - Cheng Xiao's reckless behavior made her already irritable mood even worse, and she even showed a hint of hostility.

She waved her hand again, freezing Cheng Xiao's body to restrict his movements. Of course, she hadn't frozen Cheng Xiao into an ice sculpture as Leblanc had said. She hadn't made up her mind yet.

But it was because of her hesitation...

boom!

A tiny, barely noticeable bolt of lightning shot out from Cheng Xiao's clenched palm and struck Leblanc at a speed that no one could react to.

Zhi——!

Hit.
