Legends of Runeterra

Chapter 764: Skarner’s Blessing

Not long after Li En left, a group of slender thorns with scarlet spikes crawled along the rock wall like a group of snakes and arrived here.

Facing the deserted underground cave, a thorn slowly stretched out and touched the empty tunnel, and then the surrounding thorns suddenly grew and tangled together to form a thorn bud.

"Om~!"

A scarlet light shone in the buds amidst the emerald green. As the thorn buds blossomed, a tall and slender figure, wearing a gorgeous long skirt made of tender green leaves and with blood-red hair draped behind her, slowly emerged among the blooming thorn flowers, like a queen.

"Did the vile thief deal with the vermin in the garden?

Haha~! It’s really interesting~!”

Gazing at the passage that led to nowhere, the slender figure walked slowly into it with graceful steps.

...

All you see is a gorgeous and deep purple.

The space in the material realm was stretched, twisted, and reversed here, but the strange force was dispelled by the invisible field when it approached everyone.

After Ezreal silently recited it in his heart three hundred times.

"Om~!"

The passage was turbulent, as if resisting everyone from moving forward.

"Humph!"

As Li En thought about it, an invisible force field suddenly burst out.

“Tear it up~!”

A huge crack was torn directly in the turbulent passage, and Li En left with five people.

"This is..."

All they saw was a huge underground hole that was so big that no one could see its end.

The grayish-white fibrous substance covered everything within sight.

Crystal clusters that are imbued with some kind of power and shine with purple light are scattered across the top of the underground caves, providing light for this underground world.

Dense swarms of insects, similar to the ones Qiyana had killed before, kept crawling on the ground full of holes.

As the insect closest to Li En and others suddenly raised its head, like triggering a domino effect, insects of various shapes, from near to far, raised their "eyes" and looked at the people floating in the air.

Even Qiyana, the Yun'alaian, and Ezreal, the knowledgeable explorer, couldn't help but feel nervous when faced with the gazes of so many insects.

Unlike everyone else, Li En looked around this underground world with calm eyes.

In his higher-dimensional vision, he saw something lurking here.

"Brother Li...Brother Li En, this...this amount...we really..."

"Don't be nervous, Milio. This is a matter concerning the entire Ixtal. It's time for the guardian to give us a little help."

Li En said this, gently raising his left hand.

Several people looked subconsciously and saw three claw marks and three scorpion tails quietly appearing on the back of his left hand.

"Om~!"

An ochre-colored light lit up, and a heavy and majestic aura rose up.

It seemed as if a great consciousness had descended here from nowhere.

'Thank you for your help, Li En. I will...'

'Wait a moment, Mr. Skarner.'

"Okay, Li En, what else?"

Skarner was extremely satisfied with Li En's efficiency.

Although Skarner, who was concerned about Ixtal, wanted to destroy this place immediately, he was able to wait patiently when he heard that Li En had something to say.

'Mr. Skarner, there is something deeper hidden in this underground cave.

If I'm not mistaken, it is the culprit that allows the 'Void' to avoid Ixtal's magic circle and even your perception, and thus sneak into Ixtal.

So I hope you won't attack yet, but instead share some of your strength with my companions to lure that guy out.'

'Okay, then I'll do as you say.'

Without any hesitation, Skarner immediately agreed to what Li En said.

next moment.

"Om~!"

A yellowish-brown light rose from Li En's left hand, then turned into five balls of light and floated towards everyone.

At the same time, Li En opened his eyes and turned to face everyone.

"This is the power given to you by Skarner, the guardian of Ixtar. After you accept it, you can start to eliminate these evils..."

Before Li En finished speaking, he saw Ezreal stretch out his right hand without gauntlets and pinch the ball of light.

"Om~!"

The khaki ball of light suddenly melted in Ezreal's hand.

"Wuhu~! I feel full of power now!

Come on Ixtal, let the greatest adventurer the world has ever seen save you!"

With a circle of ochre light lingering around his body, Ezreal signaled Li En with his eyes, then leaped up and rushed towards the insects gathered on the ground.

"Li En, let me go down too."

"Ok."

Li En waved his hand lightly, and Qiyana rushed to the ground unwilling to be left behind.

"Die, you pests!!"

"Om~!"

The heavy earth elements gathered on the Oletar ring blade, almost turning the ring blade into an ochre-colored halo.

As Qiyana swung, the ring blade fell directly on the gathered stack of void insects, trying to reach everyone in this way.

“BOOM~~!!”

The shattered body and lavender sticky blood splattered everywhere, but they were all blocked by the "power of the ancient lord" lingering around Qiyana.

Qiyana landed lightly on the smashed ground, slightly raising her chin to look down at the bugs that were quickly surrounding her.

"Death will be your only destination!"

"Hihhhhhhhhhh~!!!"

The void insect swarm let out a sharp and piercing roar and rushed towards Qiyana like a wave.

"Brother Li En, I...I also..."

"Just help Ezreal. You two have a great rapport as a team."

"OK, all right!"

With a wave of his hand, Li En sent Milio down to Ezreal's side.

Under the illumination of the fire treasure, Ezreal's gauntlets fired at an increasingly faster frequency.

"Li En, Li En, it's my turn to mess with me!"

"Neeko, follow me!"

"Oh, I see, Nidalee."

"Roar~!"

Nidalee leaped forward and transformed into a nimble Paka jungle cat in mid-air. Neeko, who was following closely behind her, also transformed into a ferocious beast smaller than Nidalee in a flash of light and very naturally.

"Bang! Tear it apart!"

"It seems that the potential of the Mist Tail Clan is greater than I expected."

Looking at Neeko, who was killing the Zerg in the form of a Paka jungle cat and whose efficiency was only slightly inferior to Nidalee, Li En became more and more curious about what kind of existence destroyed this race of Vastaya.

After all, in order to bind his talents and avoid tragedy, Li En arranged people to search for the traces of the Mist Tail Tribe as soon as he arrived in Ionia, but no news has been received so far.

Li En lowered his altitude slightly and hovered in the air, paying attention to everyone's actions. He provided assistance from time to time, making their killing efficiency even more efficient.

In the underground world, the roar of the insect swarm never stops.
