Soul Lantern Goes Out

The moment I saw Senna, I knew something was wrong. No matter how long she'd been imprisoned, she shouldn't be so indifferent when meeting her lover. So I prepared in advance, and when I saw her fire, I used Wind Force to lift the gun barrel and deflect the bullet. 💝😎 ✋👽

"Senna? What are you doing? I'm Lucian!"

"Of course I know you are Lucian, my enemy!"

After Senna finished speaking, she aimed at Lucian again, but he still didn't know how to dodge. I intervened again, but failed!

Last time, the bullet hadn't even left the barrel, which is why it went astray. This time, the bullet was incredibly powerful, piercing right through Lucian's body!

I am familiar with this power; it is the Dark Element Strength!

Could it be the Vastaya? With this question in my mind, I attacked Senna. She was very skilled and didn't panic even after exchanging blows with me for several rounds.

Besides that power, I'm also familiar with her skills, because Katarina is also an assassin like that!

Although the two used different weapons, their movements were very similar, clearly indicating that they had received the same training.

However, after the initial surprise, I quickly subdued her and found no living weapons, ruling out the possibility of her Vastaya.

Even with a gaping hole in his chest, Lucian pleaded weakly with me, "Don't hurt her, Yasuo!"

"Don't worry, there are still many things to figure out, but right now you should be most concerned about yourself, right?"

I gave the Life Rune to Nasus so he could heal Lucian's wounds, and they were soon healed.

He stood up again, not blaming Senna, but instead aiming at Thresh: "Did you do something to Senna?!"

"Would her combat ability be of much help to me? She's just an ordinary undead."

"You!"

Lucian was furious, but Thresh was right; Senna posed no threat to them and was of no use to them.

After Thresh finished speaking, he hooked Senna's giant spear and threw it next to Lucian: "I imprisoned her because I wanted the Dark Rune on her, but it turned out to be just a small fragment, which was of little use."

Lucian didn't recognize the Dark Rune, but I and the other Ascended were familiar with them, and we discovered that a fragment of this type of rune was indeed embedded in the middle of the gun.

Now that things have come to this point, I think I understand. Maybe Senna isn't what Lucian thought she was. He was just blinded by love. Senna is actually Noxus assassin!

Like Katarina, she was an assassin trained by the Empire. Her approach to Lucian, a Demacia nobleman, was also for ulterior motives, but she never expected to encounter Thresh.

"You're an assassin trained by Dukao, aren't you?" I asked Senna.

"It's a pity we couldn't fulfill the general's last wish."

"No, you're wrong. Demacia and Noxus are no longer enemies; on the contrary, they're friends."

"Ha, do you think I'd believe that kind of nonsense you tell kids?"

Whether you believe it or not is irrelevant; I just want Lucian to know your true identity.

After I finished speaking, I looked at Lucian, and this dark-faced man actually shed tears; he was overcome with emotion and couldn't help himself.

Illaoi patted him on the shoulder, almost knocking him over. "What's there to be sad about with a liar like that? I think you're pretty good-looking and capable, why don't you come with me from now on?"

I almost laughed when I heard that, but seeing Lucian so heartbroken, I just couldn't bring myself to laugh.

Seeing that I had let go, Senna picked up her giant spear and was about to leave. No one stopped her, but Lucian quickly chased after her.

Let these two resolve their own issues. I believe that once Senna sees that the entire Runeterra has been united, she will let go of her hatred.

With this matter resolved, it was time to deal with the Hailan Family's internal affairs. Illaoi, who had come with hatred, now appeared calm.

"Originally, I wanted to seek revenge on you, but now I don't know where the hatred comes from. I've killed just as many Hailan people as you have."

"I used to think the Hailan Family was arrogant and narrow-minded, which is why they sought new horizons in the sea. But I found that I was no better than them."

"Hahaha..."

"Hehe..."

Illaoi and Thresh laughed together. They came from the same family, were the same kind of people, so what was there to talk about revenge?

The rest of us stood to the side, feeling a bit superfluous. We had expected a fierce and bloody battle, but Thresh showed absolutely no desire to fight.

However, he still requested to fight in the end. "Since I promised Mordekaiser to protect this place, a battle today is unavoidable. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to purify this place. Let's fight!"

"I don't need them, I'll fight you one-on-one!"

Illaoi clenched her fists, her tattoos glowed, and the stone statue slipped from her grasp, just like when I first met her.

At that time, my power was drained by her, and my whole body became weak and powerless. Coincidentally, Thresh's Soul Lantern can also absorb the power of others. When the two of them fought, it was a matter of who had the better skills.

Thresh is a mage who is not good at melee combat. He uses his hexagram for defense, making it difficult for Illaoi to move an inch despite her immense strength. Moreover, every time Illaoi gets close, Thresh pushes her away with his chains.

After a fierce attack, Illaoi was greatly weakened, and the glow of her tattoos was not as bright as it had been at the beginning. In this situation Thresh could only waste her strength in vain.

Having realized this, she stopped attacking from one direction and instead launched attacks from different angles around the six stone pillars.

Thresh's hexagram formation was flawless in every direction, naturally preventing Illaoi from getting close. After a short while of fighting, she was already panting heavily.

"Need any help?" Renekton asked.

"No need, she hasn't lost yet."

I know Illaoi hasn't lost yet; on the contrary, she's playing a much bigger game!

During her attack on Thresh, I noticed a tentacle sprouting from the base of each pillar; she's going all in!

Sure enough, as soon as the sixth tentacle emerged, Illaoi leaped into the air and slammed the stone statue down!

The six tentacles instantly swelled up, lashing out at Thresh with earth-shattering force, knocking us all back several steps!

Fortunately, this floor has a relatively large space, otherwise she really wouldn't be allowed to use such crude moves.

The stone pillar collapsed with a crash, and the magical light maintaining the hexagram array became chaotic. Thresh's defense was finally broken.

Illaoi landed beside him and smashed the stone statue down on his head. The tentacles, as if being reprimanded, slammed down again, stirring up dust.

Soon, she slowly walked back, carrying a Soul Lantern in her hand, while all that remained where Thresh had been was a pile of broken bones.

As the green light in the Soul Lantern gradually faded, the temple also disappeared, and the sunlight shone down, announcing our victory.
