Cleansing Successful

Mordekaiser's afterimage initially shouted a couple of times, but gradually fell silent, seemingly unaware of what was happening.

Had his magic failed midway? The question was quickly answered when LeBlanc appeared.

"Long time no see, Saan."

"LeBlanc, so it was you who broke free from the Cycle of Despair, hahaha..." Mordekaiser laughed instead of getting angry, his true feelings unknown.

"From the day you were resurrected, I have been thinking about how to destroy you every moment. Unfortunately, in hundreds of years, only one fool has appeared who is unaware of his own mortality. Fortunately, this guy has successfully driven you to the brink of despair."

"Hahaha, are you referring to Yasuo as this reckless guy you're talking about?"

"Who else could it be but him?" LeBlanc said, glancing at me with captivating amethyst eyes.

"He is indeed very powerful. Besides his personal strength, he also has a strong ability to unite people. I have never seen anyone who can gather so many powerful people, including two angels."

"So now, do you have any regrets?"

"That's all. I just hope I won't run into you troublesome guys again when I resurrect next time, ha."

Mordekaiser vanished after speaking, and LeBlanc broke the Cycle of Despair. The sky over the Shadow Isles became clear, and when spring arrives, the place will surely be restored to its former vitality.

The battle that had lasted for many days suddenly ended, leaving some people happy and others sad.

In this battle, Ashe sacrificed a powerful warrior, the Light Organization lost Nasus, a learned and powerful Ascended, and Camille and Gangplank suffered several casualties.

Of course, these people did not sacrifice themselves in vain; we ultimately achieved victory and stopped the spread of death.

Upon returning to Bilgewater, Gangplank commissioned the construction of statues of the fallen, respectfully referring to them as "Guardian of the Sea."

He had originally planned to hold a victory celebration banquet, but seeing that everyone was not in the mood, he gave up and ended up holding only a simple farewell banquet.

The portal couldn't carry so many people away at once, so the Shurima, Piltover, and Noxus, who were closer by, chose to return by boat.

Jarvan and Shvana transformed into giant dragons and carried Garen and the others away, while Huo Su followed to find Jergente.

Ashe, Sejuani, and other Freljord, along with Lee Sin and several Ionia, returned via the portal, bringing the grand gathering of heroes to a close.

I'm staying in Bilgewater for now. Until I hear from Ryze, I plan to stay on this remote island with the World Rune and the Angel sisters, and wait until their strength has recovered before considering the Angel City.

After witnessing the battle between Kayle and Mordekaiser, I saw the immense power of the angels and calmed down considerably. It's best not to provoke them unless you're absolutely certain of victory.

LeBlanc wasn't in a hurry to go back either. She stayed with me at the Temple of Bahru and told me about the whole attack on the Shadow Isles.

She was curious about why we were so fast and able to clear each level in order. I couldn't answer her, so I took out the map Evelynn had given me.

Strangely, the map was completely empty; all the marked areas had disappeared, leaving only a blank parchment.

"Haha, this is the map you wanted to show me?"

"That's strange. This was indeed a map before, showing the overall terrain of the Shadow Isles and marking the locations of each level."

What's the name of the person who helped you?

"Evelynn, I'm not sure if she's human either. Before the attack on the Shadow Isles, I always thought she was our enemy, but now I'm a little doubtful."

"There's nothing to doubt. Didn't you all treat me as an enemy before? One of the reasons I helped you was to use your strength to destroy the Shadow Isles."

"And what about the other half? Aren't you going to tell us yet?"

"The other half... might like you."

LeBlanc used jokes to cover up her past mistakes, but she honestly told me she had ulterior motives, though she wouldn't say.

It's probably not that she doesn't want to talk about it, but rather that someone is preventing her from doing so, and that's why she's using this method to remind me.

"Thank you for reminding me. I'll be more careful about things concerning you in the future."

"Heh, what a clever fellow. Alright, I'm leaving now. Just one last reminder: an even bigger disaster is about to strike. Ask Mino for details."

LeBlanc disappeared after saying that, leaving me completely confused.

Every day is filled with disasters, one after another. Can't people even get a break?

What greater disaster could there be now?

The crisis on the Shadow Isles has been averted, but the Vastaya remain, and the Void is stirring. Besides these two... could it be the Angel City?

Forget it, I'll stop thinking about it. Since she told me to ask Sage Tabor, I'll make a trip to Demacia. But I need to rest for a few days before that. I'm just a half-baked Aspects, not someone who's tireless yet.

At night, I lay on the lookout tower watching the stars. Bard had said that to master the power of the Aspects, one needs to seek opportunities among the stars, but I haven't gained anything since leaving Mount Targon.

After the fierce battle, my mind was still restless. I looked at the stars, but my mind kept replaying the battle on the Shadow Isles.

Although the battle is over, some questions remain unanswered. Looking back, there are three main points:

First, Kalista said I betrayed the girl I loved, but I don't know exactly what she meant by that;

Secondly, there's the mural in the Temple of Thresh, where King Ironhold and Evelynn once held their wedding. The Fuguang Island was also polluted because he soaked Evelynn in the Sacred Spring. It's unclear whether that was Evelynn's past life or something she deliberately orchestrated.

Thirdly, there is the resurrection of Mordekaiser, who claims he will not truly disappear and will be resurrected by believers in the future. However, the circumstances and location of his resurrection are unknown.

Aside from these questions, the gains are undeniable: we purified the Shadow Isles and obtained the Death Rune.

Furthermore, during my battle with Mordekaiser, I discovered my weaknesses in Martial Arts. The fact that I gained valuable experience after the battle is the most gratifying thing.

Just as I was pondering these things, I suddenly heard Kayle's voice. She and Morgana had come to find me.

"What are you looking at, Yasuo?"

"The Aspects searched for a source of power among the stars in the night sky, but unfortunately, I found nothing."

"It's too low here! Let's go up to the sky! It's quieter up there, and the stars are brighter."

"Good!"

Just as I was about to use my Wind Riding Technique to fly upwards, the two of them suddenly grabbed my hands. "Last time you rescued us, you stayed in the air for several days. This time, we'll take you up!"

Kayle spread his golden-white wings, Morgana spread her purple-black wings, and they both flew upwards. I also stopped gathering my Wind Force and relaxed, enjoying the process of being carried upwards by the two angels.
