Legends of Runeterra

Chapter 586: Zolani's Choice

That's right, although no Darkin would admit it voluntarily, it was precisely because of the extremely perverted vitality after becoming a Darkin that the Darkin were sealed after being "killed" thousands of years ago.

For the Darkins who have now been sealed in weapons, it is a very simple matter to eliminate their own compatriots.

Zolani was very sure that once it fell into the hands of her fellow darkin.

Perhaps until his consciousness is imprisoned to the point of losing all sanity, he will never have the chance to touch flesh and blood and regain his freedom.

By then, one is essentially dead.

The "cooperation" that Lord Li En mentioned was essentially no different from asking me to die.

But feeling the invisible sense of oppression surrounding her, it was obvious that the decision was no longer on Zolani's side.

Once she refuses, perhaps there is no need to wait until then. Lord Li En, who clearly hates the Darkin, will make her quiet forever today.

Either die now or die later, and Zolani would rather choose the latter.

The passage of time always brings opportunities, just like the opportunity she waited for to be discovered over the long years.

So, in Li En's purple eyes that had become brilliant and deep, Zolani slightly pursed her crystal red lips.

Her arms were slightly wrapped around herself, making the holy text more conspicuous.

Staring at Li En with scarlet eyes, Zolani nodded slightly.

"Lord Li En, Zolani is willing to be commanded by you!"

"Haha~! Very good, from now on, we are allies."

"Yes, Zolani has met Lord Li En."

Zolani nodded and bowed softly and respectfully to Li En.

"Since we are allies, Zolani, close your eyes."

"Yes, Lord Li En."

Zolani obediently closed her scarlet eyes, and the holy text in front of her trembled slightly, as if due to excessive nervousness.

"Don't worry, you are just too weak now, so I will give you some strength."

"Okay...Okay, Master Li En."

After hearing this, Zolani's body gradually stopped shaking.

Seeing this, Li En raised the corner of his mouth slightly, then raised his right hand and gently touched Zolani's forehead with his index finger.

"Buzz~~!"

Just like the stars flowing down in the summer night, the dreamy and mysterious "power of star creation" slowly flowed into Zolani's brow.

"Woo~!"

"This... This is... No! No, this is a power greater than the 'Power of Ascension'!!!"

Zolani wanted to open her eyes and ask Li En loudly, but in less than a microsecond, her consciousness fell into an indescribable feeling, as if she had cast off all shackles and was detached from everything.

Dozens of seconds passed, and Li En withdrew his hands from Zuo Lanni's eyebrows.

next moment.

"Shua~!"

Zolani opened her eyes and looked directly at Li En with her scarlet eyes.

"Bang~!"

Zolani held Li En tightly with her whole body, and except for her face, her true appearance as a Darkin was instantly revealed.

“Crack! Crack!”

The sharp claws scraped against Li En's body, making a harsh sound.

“Give it to me! Give it to me! Give me all that power ahh ...

At the end of her shout, Zolani let out an inhuman roar.

Under the impact of this power that could allow the Darkin to regain their former glory and even become a greater existence, the Darkin's greedy instinct overwhelmed Zolani's reason.

However, facing Zolani's hideous and crazy appearance, a smile slowly appeared on Li En's calm and perfect face.

"It seems that we still need to deepen our understanding of each other before we cooperate."

When a deep purple light shone from the bottom of Li En's eyes, a glimmer of reason flashed in the ferocious and crazy eyes of Zolani.

"plum..."

"There is no point in talking too much. Broken bones are the better textbooks!"

"Boom~!"

...

"How's it going? Are you feeling better now?"

Gentle words of concern were heard, and Zolani, who was lying on the ground in a trance, nodded hard.

As her flesh and blood grew, her neck, which had been crushed and tilted unnaturally like noodles, gradually returned to normal.

"Well... much better, thank you... Lord Li En..."

"Well, you're welcome."

Looking at Zolani who was struggling to stand up and salute, Li En smiled gently and stretched out his right hand to pull her up.

However, when she saw Li En reaching out his hand, Zolani trembled all over and quickly got up from the ground at a faster speed.

Seeing this, Li En's smile paused slightly, and then he withdrew his hand without leaving a trace.

"Maybe I caused you to misunderstand me just now, but I have always been a gentle and easy-going person. If I didn't want to awaken your rationality, I wouldn't do this."

"Yes...Yes, Master Li En, Zolani understands!"

"I think you misunderstood even more."

Li En really wanted to complain, but in order not to make his collaborator more flustered, he considerately did not say it out loud.

"Ahem~! Let's get back to business. How do you feel after accepting my 'Star Creation Power', Zolani?"

"'Star Power'? Is this the name of that great power?"

Zolani raised her head slightly and looked up at Li En, who was much taller than her. Her eyes were full of curiosity, desire, and some indescribable expressions.

"Yeah, that's right."

“When that power came in, I felt ‘better’ than ever before.

The noises brought by the 'void' have now all disappeared..."

Zolani excitedly recounted the changes she had undergone, her scarlet eyes fixed on Li En's face.

"Master Li En, now I can create a body and move freely without the need for flesh and blood!"

"Ah, very good.

However, as a collaborator, I must make it clear to you that this 'power of star creation' can help you shield yourself from the pollution of the 'void' and prevent you from falling into the madness of the darkin, while also giving me the power to control your life and death.

Like... like this!"

"Da~!"

"Uh..."

With a snap of Li En's fingers, Zolani felt as if her mortal heart was gently grasped by an invisible hand, and a sense of crisis arose that she might die at any time.

But compared to this, Zolani wanted to question Li En more, why the "Power of Star Creation" failed to suppress her darkin instincts before.

However, looking at Li En's eyes, Zuo Lannie already understood that this was just what Li En did deliberately to make her fully aware of the gap between them.

After just a few seconds, the feeling that life and death were in Li En's hands disappeared.

"Also, although this power controls your life and death, at the same time, even if you are besieged by a group of dark descendants and trapped in a dead end in the future, I can use it to rescue you."

"Plop~!"

"Yes, Master Li En, Zolani understands!"

Zolani knelt on one knee and bowed her head respectfully to Li En.

"Very good, see you later then."

"Yes, Master Li En!"

...

When Li En's breath completely disappeared in the inner world of the Darkin Scythe, Zolani slowly stood up.

"'Star Power'?"

Zolani's scarlet eyes stared at the direction where Li En disappeared, with an inexplicable expression on her face.
