Signs of the Decisive Battle

Soon we could no longer see the ground; the dazzling starlight was breathtaking. Then they stopped and lay down with me in the air to watch the stars.

If we disregard the power of unleashing the Aspects, simply appreciating the starry sky is a very pleasant thing. I'm not a carefree person; I can never let go of things on my mind.

I lay in the air for several days, until my strength was almost restored, but I still hadn't gained anything, and I was exhausted.

Just as I was drifting off to sleep, I suddenly heard Morgana shout, "Look at Yasuo, it's a shooting star!"

I opened my eyes, thinking nothing of it. A shooting star is fleeting; how could I possibly see it? But I was wrong. Morgana wasn't talking about a single shooting star, but a meteor shower!

Streaks of bright silver streaks pierced the sky, leaving behind beautiful afterimages and illusions. In the original world, this would be a time to make a wish.

I blinked, and a name was already silently in my mind: Riven.

I long to see her, to meet her, and to continue traveling the world with her as explorers.

At the same time, I discovered that the trajectories of these meteors were like the Wind Spear I summoned—straight, swift, agile, and powerful.

The moment this thought arose, I was enveloped in a radiant glow that lasted for quite some time before disappearing—the unique aura of the Aspects.

Is this what Bard meant by inspiration? Generated in the collision of thought and the stars, it acts upon the Aspects's essence, enhancing its Aspect Power.

I tried to concentrate the Wind Spear, but I didn't feel anything special. Maybe I can only perceive it in battle!

After the meteor shower ended, we returned to Earth, said goodbye to Gangplank, and prepared to go find the Sage Tabor. He was very reluctant to leave.

"Are you leaving, Yasuo? I haven't properly thanked you for what happened!"

"Mutual assistance is the reason we founded Light, so why be so polite? Besides, there are many unstable factors in other regions, and we might need your fleet's help in the future!"

"Of course! I, Gangplank, would never mistreat a friend! By the way, Yasuo, a friend came yesterday, saying he was looking for you, and he's staying at your place."

"Friend? What's his name?"

Ryze, tall and thin.

"Okay, I understand."

When I got back to my place, Ryze was sleeping. He opened his eyes when he heard the noise.

"You're back. How did things go at Shadow Isles?"

"Fortunately, the sacrifice wasn't too great, and we even gained Death Rune."

I took out the Life Rune and the Death Rune. The two stones emitted different shades of green. Emerald green represented life, while dark green represented death. Although their colors were very similar, their properties were completely opposite.

Ryze didn't mind that I divided the Life Rune into three parts. He said that the runes are just as powerful no matter how they are broken down, as long as they are not lost.

When I pulled out the Primal Crystal, Ryze's expression brightened; I had never seen him like that before.

"What's this?"

"The Primal Crystal, which I obtained by chance in the desert, I believe should be the seventh World Rune."

Ryze held it in his hand and studied it carefully for a while, becoming more and more excited as he looked at it. "That's right, this is the World Rune! Thank you so much, Yasuo!"

"Unfortunately, that's all. If you feel it's not enough, you can look for a desert creature called Primal Scorpion; they have it on their bodies!"

"That should be enough. I've collected five of the seven runes, and I've also located the Dark Rune. Only the wind rune remains."

"Will we be able to defeat the mastermind once we collect all the runes?"

"I'm not sure either, but I can give it a try." Ryze's excitement lasted only a short while before he reverted to his usual dejected state.

"Then you'll have to trouble yourself. I'm heading to Demacia now."

After a brief farewell, I headed to Demacia alone, without the Kayle sisters accompanying me. It was too close to the Angel City, and it was safer to stay here.

The mages in charge of the portal had almost finished resting, so teleporting me alone wouldn't be a problem. They concentrated their efforts to send me to Demacia.

When I arrived in Silver City, the guards told me that Jarvan had not returned yet, so I went straight to House of Tabor. When I saw Sage Tabor, I almost didn't recognize him; his hair and beard had turned black!

"Old Sage, have you truly become young again?"

"Oh ho ho, it's Yasuo. That's nothing strange. This is the second time I've regained my youth."

"Impressive! By the way, old Sage, I have something to discuss with you. LeBlanc says there will be an even greater catastrophe in the future. Do you have any prophecies to make?"

"The tribulations of life and death are not yet over; light and darkness will overturn all living beings. This is the content of the prophecy."

The calamities of life and death are not yet over; this half-sentence likely refers to Mordekaiser's return. As for the light and darkness overthrowing all living beings, does it refer to us and the Vastaya?

The Sage Tabor did not elaborate further; this was all he could foresee, and he was unclear about the specific meaning of the prophecy.

In addition, I also asked about the Ionia Manor. When we found Veigar, he was with a Vastaya named Grian.

At first we didn't know who the owner of the manor was, but LeBlanc said it was the Sage Tabor!

The old Sage pondered for a moment, then shook his head, saying he had forgotten, not remembering any manor or the staff named Grian.

I don't know if he really forgot or if he just didn't want to tell me. This old guy definitely has something he doesn't want to say; he's been vague about his relationship with LeBlanc.

Of course, I couldn't force him; perhaps he did have his reasons.

After saying goodbye to the Sage Tabor, I arrived at the palace. Besides Lux and Witt, Tiana was also there, looking displeased.

"Yasuo? Why isn't that brat Jarvan back yet!"

"Almost there, almost there! Has something serious happened? Why are you so angry?"

"Of course! The Queen is about to give birth, and he's out wandering around!"

"You've misunderstood him. We just resolved a major crisis and he rushed back. It's been four or five days now, and given the dragon's speed, he should be here soon."

What could be more important than your wife giving birth?

At this moment, Caroline came out of the house, her pregnant belly already very obvious:

"Alright, Lady Tiana, Jarvan will definitely be back before I give birth. I believe in him!"

"Hmph, if you hadn't protected him, I would have given him a good spanking!"

Tiana acted like an empress dowager, even daring to spank the king! However, the elders of the House of Lightshield were indeed highly respected.

Just then, two men entered. They were Witt's subordinates, saying that some chaos had broken out in the City of Light Lux and Witt needed to return to deal with it.

And so, after living in Silver City for a few months, the two returned to their fiefdom.
