Legends of Runeterra

Chapter 808: Demon-blocking Gold

The elegant and luxurious banquet hall during the 'Evolution Day' celebrations in previous years was now filled with the stench of blood.

The Piltover nobles who had been begging for mercy loudly before were now extremely quiet, and no one dared to say a word.

Even if the coward's legs were shaking and weak, he still covered his mouth tightly, for fear that he would be chosen by the bloody butcher who ignored the rules because of making any sound.

"Abesa...are you really going to do this!?"

Riley Katis stared at Ambersa closely, trying to make a final struggle.

"Without the support of our families, Piltover, you can't..."

"It has come to this, are you still daydreaming?"

"Wow~!"

As if to deliberately torture the pretentious old man in front of him, Ambesa deliberately made his movements extremely slow.

The chain made a slight sound, and the black steel blade was close to Riley Katis's neck.

next moment.

"Bang~!"

"Dang Cang~!"

"Stop it, Mother!!"

The glass inlaid on the side of the hall shattered, and a slender figure fell from the air along with the broken glass.

The fragments reflected the sunlight and surrounded Mel. At this moment, the Piltover nobles who were sentenced to death by Ambesa felt like they were hearing heavenly music.

The word "mother" made the guards in the hall and the alchemist baron Wolvertin and others silently turn away the sharp blades and guns pointed at Mel.

"Bang~!"

"Mother, you can't do this!!"

As soon as he landed, Mel spoke again to stop him.

"Oh! Mel, my daughter, have you forgotten where you came from?"

"Mother, I haven't forgotten! The reason why Piltover can stand on Runeterra is that it is at least 'neutral' on the surface.

What you are doing now is to make Piltover fall completely into the arms of Noxus..."

"That's enough Mel!!"

Abesa interrupted Mel's words with a loud scolding.

The slight joy that he had just felt when he saw his daughter dare to turn the tables on him was gone at this moment.

"It seems that sending you to Piltover was a very wrong decision. The superficial prosperity here not only pulled out your spine, but also blinded your eyes!"

Looking at Mel coldly, Ambesa's face showed undisguised disappointment.

"'Middarda' is a flesh-eating wolf, not a cowardly dove!"

"Mother!"

"That's enough, take her away and let her calm down!"

Ambesa turned his head in disappointment and said the second half of the sentence to the guard in heavy black armor beside him.

"Yes, my lord!"

"Om~!"

Without any hesitation, golden magic emerged from Mel's hands, and a golden sphere flew out and hit the guard.

"Bang~!"

The guard, who was over two meters tall and looked like a small giant compared to Mel, flew backwards and fell on the pillar.

“Crack~!”

The broken marble rolled down and covered the sleeping guard.

"Is this... magic!?"

Abesa glanced at the motionless guard lying on the ground, and looked at the nervous and serious Mel, with a hint of joy on her face.

"Haha~! I am finally a little relieved.

But do you think you can defeat me with just this magic you've hidden for so long?"

"I...I must stop you no matter what!"

"Om~!"

Before Meier finished his words, he put his hands together and a golden ball appeared again, attacking Abesa in an instant.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Suddenly, a series of explosions sounded from the ceiling, and countless "dust" shining with silver light suddenly fell.

"Pfft~~!"

The golden serve, which had not yet reached Ambesa, began to twist and shake from a standard circle the moment it came into contact with the "dust", and eventually turned into a bubble and dissipated.

'how so!?'

Although he was filled with doubts, Mel once again gathered stronger magic power in his hands.

"Stab~!"

"Uh ah ah~!!"

The golden magic power went out of control in his hands and suddenly turned into fireworks and lightning, burning Mel's hands before dissipating.

“Mel!!”

"Shua~!"

"Bang~!"

From the gap where Mel had just fallen, Jace landed in front of her with Mercury's Hammer.

"Mel, are you okay!?"

Holding Mercury's hammer in front of him, Jace's tone was concerned and anxious.

"I... uh... I don't know, my magic just went haywire... uh..."

Mel said as he suppressed his groan of pain.

"Sure enough, you are among them!"

"Ambersa! What did you do to Mel?!"

"Oh? You're not even willing to say 'Abesa-sama'?"

"..."

Staring at Abesa, who had a smile on his face but an extremely cold look in his eyes, Jace turned sideways, holding Mercury's hammer, and looked for a gap to break through with the corner of his eye.

At the same time, the right hand hidden behind, which only Mel could see, kept making secret signs to her.

Soon, Jace felt a gentle, rhythmic tug on the hem of his clothes, and he immediately felt relieved.

Mel was still able to respond to his codewords, so the situation was clearly not as bad as it looked.

"Ambesa...sir, I...electric energy surges!!!"

“Sizzle, sizzle! Bang!”

Mercury's hammer, which lit up at the same time as Jace's shout, went out of control in front of his incredulous gaze, flashed a burst of lightning, and then went silent.

"How...how could this happen..."

"Oh! Are you confused?"

"Could it be..."

Jace frowned, and soon noticed the silvery 'dust' in the hall.

These strange "dusts" are not affected by gravity and remain suspended in the air, densely covering the entire hall.

And around Jace and Mel, the silver light of this "dust" was brighter than anywhere else.

"Did you notice? This thing is called 'Dysmagic Metal', but its essence is actually the highest known transmission efficiency of magic power in the entire Runeterra."

"So Mel's magic and my Mercury Hammer both have problems at the same time!"

"Yes."

Facing Jace's complicated gaze, Ambesa waved her hand gently.

"Don't think too much. These things are not prepared for you. You just happened to encounter them."

The price of 'Magic Resistant Gold' far exceeds that of rare items in the general sense. It is a real strategic material.

Even with Midarda's wealth, with Swain's green light and no additional premium, it would have been a huge pain for Midarda to collect enough 'Magic Retarding Gold'.

"Not for us..."

Jace repeated softly, and the next moment his eyes suddenly widened.

"What a luxury, General Ambersa! This amount of 'Dysmagic Gold' is enough to silence a mage group for several hours."

A gentle and calm voice sounded, and a tall and straight figure stood in front of Jace and Mel who was still lying on the ground.
