League of Legends in Multiverse Chapter 36

"I don't think threatening two people with a sharp blade to quiet them down is seen as doing a good deed by outsiders. Besides, ---- at that time, I was just thinking for myself when I told Eren and Jean to be quiet."

"Eh... is that so."

Krista nodded her head with a feigned posture. Lian Ye suddenly felt the urge to unleash a more ferocious barrage of sharp-tongued criticism to teach this little girl the 'cruelty of society.'

This was absolutely not him getting flustered, but rather him feeling frustrated that Krista Lenz, this girl, wasn't living up to her potential.

"---! Wait!"

An invisible threat swept over him, and Lian Ye suddenly changed his tune. It seemed there was something more urgent that needed his attention. The matter of correcting (disciplining) Krista would have to be put aside for now.

A new month! Please give me flowers, tips, and help me get on the new book charts!!! I'm begging you, this is really important!

End of this chapter

Chapter 31: Void Predator

"Wait---!" Lian Ye suddenly changed his tune, but outsiders naturally wouldn't notice what he had realized. They couldn't possess the 'Pride Stalker's' keenly sensitive hunter's intuition. Therefore, in Krista's eyes, Lian Ye had simply abruptly changed the subject. "Krista, I'm leaving for a bit. You should hurry back to the camp."

Of course, Lian Ye didn't think Krista was out wandering in the middle of the night while everyone else was asleep just for him. Even if she was 'proud,' Lian Ye wasn't so self-absorbed as to think that. It was simply Krista coming out to clear her head in the quiet of the night.

Following some popular tropes, the Goddess Your Highness should have been unable to bear the sweat accumulated from a day's journey and sought out a clear forest spring to bathe when no one was around, only for Lian Ye to appear at an inopportune moment and stumble upon her.

Unfortunately, while he understood the tropes, the outcome was not as such.

"Are you going to do something dangerous?" Although Krista didn't know what had happened, she could still sense the sudden shift from Lian Ye's playful demeanor to a serious expression.

"You don't need to get involved in this."

Lian Ye couldn't help but rub his forehead. One didn't need to be a good person to this extent. Didn't you see that Shirou got stabbed by a passing Lancer when he was helping someone with detention?

"How can you say that..." Krista clearly wanted to say more. She was indeed very gentle and kind, at least on the surface. Even Lian Ye, who often spoke harshly to her, didn't hold a grudge against him because of it.

"Alright, alright, I know Krista is a good kid. ---- So, good kids shouldn't be out and about late at night, it's very dangerous, you know." Lian Ye waved his hand to dismiss Krista.

"Do you think I'm an idiot?" Krista pouted indignantly.

"I'm serious, you really should hurry back to the camp."

Lian Ye shrugged, then leaped up, his figure quickly disappearing into the dark, dense forest, as if merging with the surrounding environment, vanishing without a trace.

Krista stomped her foot but didn't know which direction to go to find Lian Ye. Helplessly, she sat on the stone Lian Ye had been sitting on and stared blankly at the stream in the forest.

"Krista, ... I'm not a good kid at all..."

A whisper in the darkness, unheard by anyone.

"Dong---! Dong---! Dong---!"

The heavy and powerful sound of a heartbeat was clearly audible in this state. Within the expanded senses of the Ultimate Predator realm, ---- it was time to hunt.

The 'Pride Stalker's' feral senses could even pinpoint Kha'Zix hidden in the Void. Even if this Bug activated its partial stealth into the Void and its Zerg 'Camouflage,' it couldn't escape the pursuit of the iron-blooded hunter.

Of course, this didn't mean the Void Predator was defenseless against the Pride Stalker. Both possessed the ultimate hunter's skills, each with more prominent abilities, creating a cycle of mutual restraint. ---- It was precisely for this reason that they became lifelong enemies.
