A Light in the Darkness

Whenever LeBlanc tries to persuade Mordekaiser, she feels like crying, which makes her give up on the idea. 🐍😂 🍮🎁

She asked Mordekaiser what was going on, and received a heartwarming answer: Because of love.

At first, LeBlanc naively believed it was real, but as time went on, she realized something was wrong:

Not only does the thought of persuading Mordekaiser disappear, but she is also completely unable to disobey any of his orders. In fact, the moment the thought of disobeying arises, it vanishes, making her feel extremely like crying.

At that moment, she finally understood that Mordekaiser had manipulated her, and that she had no choice but to obey him; escaping or betraying him was impossible.

"Is it Master-Servant Contract?" I remembered what Rovvi and the others had told me before.

"Yes, it's a Blood Magic called the Master-Servant Contract, a blood bond that will never betray its master, and as long as the master lives, the servant will also gain immortality."

"How horrible! Since you and Mordekaiser have entered into Master-Servant Contract, why are you betraying him now?"

"Of course, it's because the contract was broken. I was much luckier Rovvi and the others; I was only bound for a few decades, but that pain still fills me with hatred!"

"Was it the Sage Tabor saved you?"

"Him? He doesn't have that ability, haha. Alright, let's leave it at that. I rarely talk about my experiences with others; you're only the second person in hundreds of years to do so."

Who is the second one? Is it the Sage Tabor? Or the one who rescued her? She doesn't want to say, so I won't ask.

I hope there's something even more powerful behind LeBlanc, so that if she's willing to help us, she might be able to get the people behind her to help as well.

"It's an honor. It seems we can cooperate on the matter of eliminating Vladimir and even Mordekaiser."

"You little rascal, you're so clever, no wonder..." LeBlanc stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence.

"No wonder what?"

"It's nothing. I've said too much today. That's all for now. Remember to thoroughly investigate the ruins of Aivor Castle after dawn."

LeBlanc left after she finished speaking. Seeing how tired she looked as she walked, I was truly grateful to her. Tonight's battle was saved thanks to her.

Just as I turned to go back, LeBlanc called me back, "There's one more thing. You said Rovvi could be the light in the darkness, can I be that?"

"Of course! We welcome you to join us!"

"Haha, I'll think about it."

LeBlanc didn't give me a definite answer and turned to walk towards the Immortal Fortress. I happily returned to the camp. Since she had this idea, she would definitely join!

Only with the help of the Black Rose will we gain the power of all of Noxus!

Darius noticed the smile on my face and asked, "What happened, Yasuo? Why are you smiling so happily when we're getting beaten so badly?"

"It's a disaster, but we're still alive. Surviving a disaster is something to be thankful for, and we might even gain a powerful ally!"

"A powerful ally? Is it LeBlanc?" Darius quickly realized, since there was no one else around.

"Yes, she wanted to join the Light! And she brought it up herself!"

"Hehe, that's a bit strange. Hasn't she always been the leader of Black Rose?"

"Maybe it's because our organization is too charismatic, haha..."

"I didn't realize you were so arrogant," Darius teased me.

Before we could even rest, dawn broke. We returned to the ruins of Aivor Castle and, as LeBlanc had instructed, inspected the area. We quickly discovered many areas where magical energy was surging.

Especially yesterday's Magic Array, although I destroyed the array's core and then LeBlanc broke it, it still retains a powerful force. If an ordinary person were to come into contact with it, they would easily go insane.

Swain many methods but could not completely eliminate the effects of the Magic Circle. Just when he was having a headache, a person who was covered up completely appeared in front of us.

"I know how to remove the effects of the magic circle. Follow me." It was Rovvi's voice; she couldn't be exposed to sunlight, so she was covered up tightly.

We followed Rovvi into the underworld and discovered many trembling vampires. They were not Vladimir's servants, but simply victims.

Swain did not order their execution, as he had previously stated, he would not interfere as long as it did not disrupt the balance of Noxus.

Led by Rovvi, we destroyed many of the magic array auxiliary devices in sequence, and then destroyed many experimental items stored by Vladimir to ensure that the blood virus would not spread.

As for the subsequent cleanup and reconstruction, I'm not going to worry about that. I originally planned to come to Noxus to tell Darius, but I ended up helping him resolve this matter as well.

Vladimir was injured by LeBlanc and fled to the Shadow Isles. He won't be back for a while, and the next time we meet will probably be during the winter in Bilgewater.

"That's settled then. Vladimir won't be back for a while. I should head back to Ionia."

"Is the situation there very critical? Why are you in such a hurry to go back?" Darius, somewhat reluctant to see him go.

"It's alright. After all, there are many strong contenders now, but as everyone's leader, I can't just keep wandering around outside."

"Hahaha... So many strong opponents, that's quite interesting. Speaking of which, I've never been to Ionia before, so why don't I travel with you!"

"So you're just leaving all this mess to Swain?"

"I'm not good at handling these things anyway, so let him handle it, haha. Do you want to come to Rappor together?"

"Of course! I had planned to go with General Kled before, but I was too busy with the downsizing. Now that it's almost over, I don't care anymore."

Swain, of course, wouldn't stop them, but he did remind us to be careful, since the Vastaya were such a powerful enemy.

As we approached the portal to leave, I noticed that Rovvi was following us silently, and I wondered what was wrong with her.

Is there anything else you haven't resolved? If I can help, please let me know.

"I also want to meet those powerful people you mentioned. If possible, I want to become stronger!"

"You want to go to Ionia? There are many reputable sects there, as well as plenty of ghost hunters. Be careful they don't take you in!"

"Really?"

"Of course! You'd better think it through, or you might not come back alive!"

"It's alright, I'm not afraid! Trying to subdue me won't be that easy!"

I was just joking, but I didn't expect Rovvi to take it seriously. I don't know why, but looking at this indifferent vampire, I always feel that teasing her is a fun thing to do.

And so, I came alone, and returned with two people and a vampire, only to encounter trouble as soon as I landed!
