Turning Enemies into Friends

Everyone stayed up all night, intently scanning their surroundings, but nothing happened this time. 💜♢ 🍭✌

The enemy was far too cautious, and their counter-surveillance capabilities were outstanding. We hadn't even left the camp; we were only preparing to launch an attack when we were detected.

There's no other way but to trust Morgana. But one thing I still can't understand is why this person is fixated on her?

My doubts were quickly answered. One rainy night, while everyone was resting, I suddenly sensed an extremely strong dark aura surging from the northwest.

Could it be Vastaya remnant attack? I immediately followed the scent and finally found the source of the energy at the border patrol: Morgana.

Since the attack, she has been going out on patrol alone every day. Today she went a bit too far and has already left our detection range.

She hovered in mid-air, a purple Lightshield forming around her body to protect her from the torrential rain. Another pair of wings sprouted beneath her first wings, and she transformed into Four-winged Angel!

It seemed that this strong aura of darkness wasn't coming from the Vastaya, but from Morgana. I quickly went to meet her.

"What happened? Why did you turn into Four-winged Angel?"

"I was just attacked. The enemy broke through my shield with Dark Rune and shot a crossbow bolt enhanced with Dark Rune into my body. Just when I thought I was about to die, this dark energy awakened the power within me, and then this happened."

"Well, I guess you could call it a blessing in disguise. What about the enemy? Did they escape?"

"She can't have gone far, because she was injured by my magic and is currently hiding somewhere."

We had only exchanged a few words when Kayle, Kled, Poppy, Swain, and other people with strong perception abilities all arrived. It was the perfect time to split up and conduct a thorough search!

Morgana said the enemy was fleeing westward, so we immediately split up to pursue them. The rain was pouring down, and the enemy was wounded; this was our best opportunity!

Unfortunately, the torrential rain at the end of summer didn't last long; it stopped soon after, and no one was found until dawn.

By this time, I had reached the border between Demacia and Noxus. Thinking about it carefully, did I run too fast?

Morgana said the enemy is wounded and is likely hiding. My search will only take me further and further away from them!

Thinking of this, I turned around and walked back. The sun had just risen in the east, and the sunlight made the puddles Golden Light.

As I walked, I realized something was wrong. I had been traveling on the wind the whole way without making any noise, so I hadn't disturbed any other animals, but now I couldn't hear any insects chirping or birds singing.

As a top-tier assassin, one can certainly remain silent even when facing an enemy, but this is not necessarily the case after being injured; the enemy may very well be hiding nearby!

Having identified a relatively small area, I used my Spiritual Power to probe it. Although it wasn't as fast Wind Force, it allowed me to accurately sense the enemy's outline, which was perfect for a hidden opponent!

I began to explore slowly, and soon I had searched the entire area, but found nothing unusual in this relatively quiet region.

Is it just that it's unusually quiet here?

Just as I was about to give up, I suddenly sensed a trace of darkness emanating from it!

I stopped in my tracks, knowing the assassin was right there, probably using some special method to avoid detection, like invisibility.

It's alright, I just need to stay here. Even if you're injured, you'll still come out, right?

Just as I was about to stay for a while, the other person suddenly spoke, "How long are you going to stay here?"

I was startled by the sudden sound beside me. I was mentally prepared, but I didn't expect the enemy to appear so quickly, and it was a woman.

She was petite, wearing a tight-fitting outfit, and had a long black braid. She looked somewhat familiar!

"You're the one who's been trying to assassinate my companions lately?"

"Right."

Have we met before? Why do you look somewhat familiar?

"Yes, I have. You even saved my life in Lunwol, in eastern Demacia, from those rebellious mages."

Demacia, Renvol? A rebellious mage? That must be the person she rescued from Sylas's rebels... That's right! It's Vayne!

Are you Vayne?

"Vayne is my family, my name is Shauna."

The initial rage dissipated instantly. Two years later, that teenager had finally grown into a powerful Night Hunter. But why did she hunt our people?

Why did you assassinate my comrade?

"Because she is darkness."

"Dark?"

"She exudes a strong aura of darkness; I won't let someone like her get away with this!"

"Oh, I see. You're the one who's been hunting down the Vastaya in Demacia and Noxus lately, aren't you?"

"Yes, I will hunt down those who have fallen into darkness!"

"Uh... I think you've misunderstood. She's an exception; she's not someone trapped in darkness, but an angel, she's been that way since birth."

A flicker of hesitation crossed Vayne's eyes; clearly, she was unaware of the existence of angels, let alone the unprecedented Dark Angel. However, she didn't doubt me.

"I believe you, and I won't contact her again. Can you let me leave now?"

You'd better come back with me.

You're going to arrest me?

"No, you were injured by the Dark Power. Come back with me and we can find someone to treat you; otherwise, it will be difficult for you to fully recover."

"... good."

Vayne hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed. It was clear that if I hadn't saved her, this matter wouldn't have been resolved so easily.

I released red smoke from my body, and soon everyone gathered around. After I explained what had happened, they all felt relieved.

Although Morgana was injured, she was fortunate enough to be upgraded to Four-winged Angel, so the outcome was ultimately good.

When I asked Kayle to heal Vayne's wounds, she refused, because Vayne is Vastaya, and rashly Power of Light to heal her would only make things worse.

At this moment Morgana wanted to help. "Let me try, Dark Power can also absorb Dark Power."

Vayne looked at Morgana, her expression complicated. "Don't you hate me?"

"I used to hate you, but since you're Yasuo's friend, I don't care anymore."

I'm not his friend; I've only met him once before.

"From now on."

I am very pleased to see them reconcile. This time, not only did it not have any negative consequences, but it also greatly enhanced our strength.

After Morgana transformed into Four-winged Angel, she did not gain the power of fire like Kayle. The magic she condensed was still pure Dark Element Strength, only more powerful.

Vayne's strength goes without saying; she has hunted down many Vastaya in recent days.

Soon after, Morgana helped her clear the restless magical energy from her body, at which point a voice came from her arm:

Who disturbed me?
