Legends of Runeterra

Chapter 999: Discussion and Recognition

"Boom boom boom~!"

The sound of fists and feet hitting each other was like the roar of bombs.

Red fist shadows wrapped in lightning fell from the sky, covering a purple figure in all directions, but Akali's face became more and more solemn.

Although Akali has been the active attacker from the beginning until now, and it seems that she is suppressing her opponent, Akali is very clear that in the nearly one hundred moves of this fight, she has not gained any advantage.

Even the opponent's incredible boxing skills made Akali feel like she was facing flowing water. No matter how much strength she exerted, the opponent would return to its original state after a wave of waves.

And an invisible feeling of hysteresis was gradually added to Akali with each collision of her fists with the opponent.

'No, this can't go on!'

Having made up her mind, Akali took action immediately.

"Boom~!"

The crimson dragon lightning suddenly exploded, and the burst of lightning almost completely obscured Akali's figure. The power strengthened to the extreme made Akali feel like she could smash an entire mountain with one punch.

She once aimed to inherit the "Fist of Shadow". Even though she had no magic power, Akali practiced the skills of kunai and sickle desperately.

Now feeling this power, Akali felt that the inheritance of the so-called "Shadow Fist" didn't seem that important anymore.

"Take my punch! Haa ...

Akali had already sensed that her opponent had no ill intentions during the exchange of fists and feet, so she swung out with her right fist.

"Boom~!"

The crimson dragon thunder collided and entangled with the misty spiritual essence, and the force visible to the naked eye surged in all directions.

Li En raised his hand slightly, and the air waves that could even collapse the courtyard wall suddenly disappeared silently.

“Sizzle~Sizzle~!”

The exploding and surging lightning gradually died down, and Akali's figure gradually appeared.

"Huhuhu~!"

Her chest rose and fell uncontrollably, and Akali slowly raised her head to look across.

Facing Akali's gaze, the purple figure who steadily took her fist finally slowly opened his lips.

"Not a bad punch. The inheritance of the 'Pruning Branch Lineage' has not been lost."

"You...you are..."

The purple figure released Akali's fist and clasped his hands together in an ancient ritual of the Order of the Kinkou.

"As you can see, junior, I am Yun Ana, the current guardian of Twilight Temple."

She has purple hair and purple eyes, and a purple-white mark like a firework between her eyebrows. She wears a training suit that is tight at the top and loose at the bottom, revealing her well-proportioned and slender waist, yet full of power.

Yunana met Akali's gaze and quietly watched this disciple of the Xiuzhi lineage who satisfied her.

Before the two entered, Yun Ana hid aside and observed.

From Akali's movements on the plum blossom pile, which had become almost instinctive, Yunana could easily see that this was a martial art derived from the "pruning lineage".

What's more, listening to the conversation between the two, Akali seems to be the daughter of the modern "Shadow Fist".

It had been a long time since she had come into contact with the living, and now she had met a disciple of Hengjing directly. Overjoyed, Yun Ana controlled her strength and made a tentative move.

"You...you are the 'Fist of Shadow' who entered the Twilight Temple thousands of years ago!?"

"Yes, it's me."

Upon hearing this, Akali couldn't help but widen her eyes and looked at the beautiful women around her who looked about the same age as her.

"Haha~! Don't be so surprised, Akali. Master Kennen has lived for a long time, hasn't he?"

"This...this is different...Kennan is a Yordle, and this...Master Yunana is recorded as a human, right?"

"Human..."

Looking at Akali who was sitting obediently beside Li En, Yunana felt a little happy because of the opinion of this junior.

After all, she didn't know when it started, but she, who had lived in the spiritual realm for a long time, believed that she had been affected by this strange realm.

Now, when she suddenly heard that Akali recognized her as a "human", Yunana couldn't help but feel a little happy in her heart.

"All right."

Li En rubbed Akali's head, then turned to look at Yunana who was standing quietly.

"Hello, Senior Yunana, I'm Li En, and this is Akali. Master Kenan has sent me here to investigate the unusual movements at Twilight Temple and your situation."

"Akali, a disciple of the Order of the Balance, greets Master Yunana. Thank you for your guidance!"

Standing next to Li En, Akali bowed solemnly to Yunana.

In the previous fight, Akali seemed to be in a powerful position, but she knew very well that she had never been out of the control of this master.

At the beginning it could be considered a fight, but later it completely turned into one-sided instruction.

Akali showed her respect for this senior from the bottom of her heart during this salute.

"Um...you...no, I don't know who you are..."

Yunana's purple eyes stared at Li En intently, revealing a hint of inquiry that she couldn't help but reveal.

Mingming Li En has a gentle and calm temperament, and looks like a man with too outstanding appearance.

But there was a moment when Li En took action to calm the aftermath of the fight between the two.

In Yunana's perception, the man in front of her gave her a feeling that was impossible to fathom, like an endless ocean.

"Brother Li En is this generation's 'Shenlong Zun'!"

Before Li En could speak, Akali on the side puffed out her chest and introduced him with a look of pride and admiration.

"Shenlong Reverend!?"

"Uh, yes, I am one of the contemporary 'Shenlong Zun'."

As Li En spoke, a breath of 'dragon power' quietly dissipated.

Even in Ionia, where there are countless transcendent beings, the 'Spirit of the Dragon' is undoubtedly the most top-level existence.

And his act of selecting agents every hundred years, or even thousands of years, to help the creatures of this land fight off the evil gods and demons has spread the honorable name of the 'Spirit of the Divine Dragon' to the ears of all living beings.

In the disaster named "Mirage Rebellion", the "Shenlong Reverend" of that generation made great contributions.

Even because the other party was too old at the time and the burden of the "power of the dragon" was too heavy, in order to stop those evil demons, he sacrificed his life without hesitation.

Therefore, Yunana has a heartfelt respect and admiration for the 'Reverend Shenlong'.

Even though the person in front of her looked younger than herself, Yun Ana did not hesitate at all. She put her hands together and bowed slightly.

"Yun Ana, greetings to the Lord Dragon!"

"Hoo~!"

"Master Yunana, there is no need to do this. I do not deserve this courtesy."

While the invisible force was holding up Yun Ana, Li En stepped aside to avoid the gift.

"Master, Brother Li En repelled the Noxian invasion of Ionia a few years ago..."

"Okay Akali, you still think it's not chaotic enough, right?"

After rubbing Akali's head randomly, Li En looked at Yunana helplessly.

"Master, how about we go into the hall and discuss it in detail?"

"Good, please follow me."
