Legends of Runeterra

Chapter 854: Moonlight Essence

"Eh? This is... 'Essence of the Night'!?"

Looking at the potion on the table, both Alune and Aphelios were surprised.

To be honest, if they were not so familiar with the bottle containing the potion, the brother and sister would never have thought that this was the "Essence of the Night".

"Yes, after Diana's purification, this potion is no longer toxic and can also provide more sufficient magic power."

Hearing this, the brother and sister looked at Diana who was standing next to Li En. Compared to Aphelios's pure respect and gratitude, Alune suddenly understood.

Although she resides in the Guihaimalu Temple in the spiritual realm, she can project herself into the material realm through rituals. Although she usually appears next to Aphelios, she can actually appear within a kilometer of him.

Last night, I wanted to talk to Li En again about the 'Essence of Night' potion, but I happened to see Diana coming out of Li En's house.

"I guess the Star Spirit was purifying the 'Essence of Night' at that time, and I happened to see him..."

Thinking of this, La Luen's chest, which had been feeling a little stuffy since last night, suddenly felt much better.

"Master Xingling, thank you very much for your help!"

Putting aside all distracting thoughts, Alune and Aphelios bowed to Diana together.

"Om~!"

"That's not necessary. As a Protoss, I just did what I could."

The moonlight supported the two of them, and a trace of discomfort flashed across Diana's cold face.

"By the way, Aphelios, why don't you try the effects of this potion now and get some feedback on its effectiveness."

Li En interrupted the brother and sister who were still trying to express their gratitude and took the initiative to turn the topic to the potion.

Hearing this, the brother and sister paused, and Alune looked at Aphelios beside her.

"elder brother?"

Aphelios, who was unable to speak, nodded, bowed slightly to Diana, then picked up the potion on the table and drank it in one gulp.

"Om~!"

Moon-white mist appeared on Aphelios's surface, and abundant magical fluctuations surged from his body.

Not long after, when the moon-white mist gradually disappeared, Aphelios slowly opened his eyes.

"Aphelios, how do you feel now?"

"Li En, my brother said that this potion provides a lot of magic power, more than twice that of the 'Essence of Night', and most importantly, it does not have the pain caused by the erosion of the poison!"

"Very good, Diana, your improvement was very successful."

Facing the gazes from Li En and Aphelios, Diana smiled slightly but shook her head slightly.

"No, Li En, we succeeded."

"Well, I didn't..."

"If you hadn't reminded me, Li En, I wouldn't have remembered this for a while."

"Thank you, Li En!"

Hearing this, La Lune thanked him.

"You're welcome. I just mentioned it. The key is Diana's 'Star Power'. And you taught me the skill of 'Moonstone Weapon'. There's no need to thank or not thank each other between friends."

"Yeah, we're friends!"

"By the way, speaking of this new potion, should we also give it a new name?"

"Yeah, it's time for a new name!"

As Li En and La Luen were talking, they both looked at Diana at the same time, the meaning was self-evident.

Seeing this, Diana did not refuse and thought about it for a while.

"How about calling it 'Essence of Moonlight'?"

"'Moonlight Essence' is a very appropriate name. The liquid in the bottle is like moonlight condensed and extracted into it."

"Yeah, I think so too!"

Li En and Alune both thought the name was suitable, and Aphelios nodded in agreement.

"Okay, that's settled. Next, I'll remove the remaining toxins from Aphelios' body and treat his throat again."

"Okay, Li En, I'll go purify the remaining 'Essence of Night'. La Luen, take me there."

"No problem, Master Xingling!"

...

After healing Aphelios and Diana purifying the "Essence of Night" in stock, Li En and she once again came to the exquisite and magnificent Temple of the Bright Moon.

"Greetings, Master Xingling!"

"Well, Bishop Avina, I plan to defeat the 'blasphemous beast'."

Diana didn't hesitate too much and went straight to the point and stated her plan.

"This... Lord Star Spirit, you... you have just received the 'Gift' not long ago, why don't you wait until you are familiar with the power before taking action.

This period of time is also a good opportunity for us to prepare and provide you with assistance when the time comes.”

"No need, Bishop Avina. The number of members of the Bright Moon Sect is too small now. Every casualty is a loss we cannot afford.

Li En and Leona will be with me on this mission. Li En's strength is even higher than mine, so there will be no problem!"

Seeing Bishop Avina looking at him, Li En, who was standing next to Diana, smiled and nodded.

Bishop Avina bowed slightly in return and spoke after a moment's hesitation.

"Master Xingling, are you saying that there is not only Mr. Li En, but also the Master Xingling from the Cult of the Fiery Sun?"

"Yes."

"Bright Moon and Blazing Sun..."

Bishop Avina murmured something in a low voice, as if she was thinking of something. She breathed a sigh of relief and then picked up an old parchment scroll from the table.

"I understand, Master Xingling. This is the scroll that can guide you to find the sealed place."

"Well, thank you."

"Your Excellency, you are too kind. We are deeply sorry for not being able to help you."

"Bishop Avina, I was personally chosen by the Moon. When I accepted this gift, I assumed this responsibility.

Clearing away the enemies and protecting the believers, this is exactly my mission!"

"Yes, Master Xingling."

"Well, Li En, let's go."

"Ok."

"Om~!"

The space fluctuated slightly, and Li En and Diana disappeared into the temple.

...

On a towering peak somewhere on Mount Giant God, the figures of Li En and the other person appeared.

"It seems that Diana, you are getting more and more used to your identity as a 'Star Spirit'. You looked so majestic and reassuring just now."

"Really, really?"

"of course."

"Ah."

Diana maintained a cool and calm expression on her face, but she felt somewhat happy in her heart.

Carrying the trust and expectations of hundreds of believers was an experience Diana had never had before, so she had to adapt herself to this responsibility as much as possible.

In the Cult of the Fiery Sun, Diana had never received any teachings on this subject. She just imitated the records in the books she had read and was still a little unsure.

But being recognized and affirmed by Li En just now gave Diana more confidence.
