Legends of Runeterra

Chapter 780 Evolution

"Hmm~! Li En, what did you mean just now? Why didn't Nicole understand?"

"Idiot, Li En is reminding him that the chief doesn't want him to join the tribe at all, and giving him this mission is just sending the meat-toothed beast to its death!"

"Ah!? Is that so? But...wasn't the chief supposed to protect everyone? Why did his chief want him to die?"

"Because you met Nidalee, Neeko. Not every tribal leader would lead the troops and protect their people like her."

Li En rubbed Nicole's little head and said with a smile.

Nidalee, who was standing by, turned her eyes away awkwardly when she heard that.

“Oh, so that’s how it is.

Li En, if everyone's 'Shuoma' can be integrated together, each other can know each other's truest thoughts, there will be no secrets and no misunderstandings.

In that way, could we have avoided today's situation?"

Looking forward to seeing Li En, Nicole expressed the innocent fantasy that she had always kept in her heart.

"No, Neeko, the ability to sense each other's thoughts through Soma is a gift that belongs to your Mist Tail tribe.

For the rest of the creatures, this situation would only make them lost in the endless "Shoma", and then create a monster mixed with a large number of souls.

So, don't use such rough means to achieve your goal of making everyone understand each other, understand?"

"Um..."

Nicole put away her smile and nodded seriously. Li En's words reminded her of the sailor she met when she crossed the ocean to Harel Port.

When Neeko was discovered by the other party, during the communication process, Neeko, who did not speak the same language, imitated the other party's "Shoma", trying to understand the other party's meaning and show friendliness.

But when the other party saw Neeko's appearance, the originally friendly situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and the surging malice almost overwhelmed Neeko.

"Nico, you don't have to worry. What you need to do now is to see more of the world. One day you will find a way to achieve your goal."

"Yeah, I get it, Li En. I'll do my best~!"

"Well, I believe you."

Rubbing Neeko's little head, Li En looked at Kha'Zix, who had become much weaker after losing his arms.

The blood gushing out of the broken arm had stopped long ago, and Kha'Zix knelt weakly on the ground, no longer showing any of his previous ferocity and cruelty.

Li En raised his left hand.

"Om~!"

A deep and brilliant purple light lit up at the tip of the index finger.

Then Li En flicked lightly, and the purple light spot fell accurately on Kha'Zix's forehead and melted into it silently.

"Click~!"

Kha'Zix's whole body stiffened, and all movements suddenly stopped, standing completely still.

"Li En... is this monster... dead?"

"No, I just modified it a little bit to make it my 'eye'.

The only real threats invading the Ixtal Jungle this time were some insignificant 'roots'.

This guy's ability is extremely suitable, and he can take my place to visit their nest."

"Oh! So that's how it is, Li En, you are so smart!"

"Why can't I feel happy when you praise me, Nicole?"

"Woo~! Li En, Nidalee... humph!"

Facing the gazes of the two men, Nicole crossed her arms and turned away.

“Crack! Crack! Crack!”

Suddenly, Kha'Zix, who was kneeling stiffly on the ground, made a sound.

The three turned around and saw cracks on Kha'Zix's shell-covered back.

“Crack! Crack! Crack!”

The center of the crack gradually bulged, and the cracked lines spread further on the purple-black shell.

"Click~!"

Two sharp purple serrated blades pierced the purple-black shell.

The next moment, the two blades slid downwards smoothly and fluently.

"Stab~!"

The shell on Kha'Zix's back opened completely, and a purple-red figure that was several times smaller emerged from it.

“Patta~Patta~!”

Insect-like wings popped out from the carapace on its back, gently shaking off the liquid on it.

Although his body seemed to be smaller, his serrated blade arms were proportionally longer and larger than before.

The purple-red figure and the purple-black abandoned shell stood back to back, and a new, more dangerous and deadly monster was born.

"Woo~!"

Nicole was a little nervous and subconsciously hugged Li En's arm.

Nidalee on the side frowned and clenched the spear in her hand.

“Crack! Crack! Crack!”

The purple-red figure turned around and knelt down towards Li En.

"Meet...Master..."

"Well, go ahead, Kha'Zix, and explore that land for me."

"As you wish...my Lord..."

Kha'Zix stood up from the ground, and the next moment.

"Hoo~!"

Without any warning, Kha'Zix disappeared silently from the sight of Nidalee and Neeko.

"Li En... that monster... is it gone?!"

"Well, it's gone. Don't worry, it went to the lair of those monsters. It won't appear in the jungle anymore."

As Li En explained, he completely destroyed the broken shell left after Kha'Zix's evolution.

After being transformed by his "power of the void", the current Kha'Zix is ​​completely separated from his past existence.

The new and more dangerous individuals will be headed by Li En, who will become his spies in Icathia to investigate the details of the Void Nest.

Thousands of years have passed. Before Li En knew what was there or had the power to feel absolutely safe, he would never rashly go to the land of Icathia.

Only by being in awe at all times can you go further.

"Phew! That's good. My tail was frightened just now!"

Nicole raised her hand and reached behind the back, holding the curled up green tail in her arms and stroking it gently.

"I'm sorry I didn't warn you."

As Li En spoke, he raised his hand and touched the tail, trying to comfort Nicole.

"Hmm~!"

"Bang~!"

"What's wrong, Nicole, are you okay?"

Li En caught Neeko who suddenly fell down. He was worried and confused, and at the same time quickly used magic to sense Neeko's situation.

"Woo~! I...I..."

"Really...Nico is fine, leave it to me, Li En."

Nidalee shook her head and walked up to the two of them.

Sensing that Neeko was fine and seeing her red cheeks, Li En understood what was going on and let Nidalee reach out and help Neeko up from his arms.

After a while, Nicole gradually returned to normal.

"Would you like some honey candy drink?"

"Really! Nicole wants to drink!"

Hearing that there were drinks, Nicole jumped in front of Li En.

"One cup per person."

Li En took out three drinks from his pocket and distributed them.

Holding the drinks, the three of them jumped onto the treetop and sat down to drink.

Feeling the cool breeze and sipping sweet cold drinks, without the pungent smell of Kha'Zix's blood in their noses, Neeko and Nidalee's emotions gradually calmed down.
