Eastern Battlefield

How is she? Did she die? I desperately want to know if Riven is safe, but how can I ask about the enemy's situation under these circumstances?

Irelia saw through my thoughts and asked the Sword Saint, "Riven must be very strong to be able to hurt you like this, right?"

"Her swordsmanship is very similar to Yasuo's, and she is also very skilled in controlling the Wind Element Strength. We fought for a long time without a clear winner. In the end, I used a move that Master Jax taught me and stabbed her in the heart, but at the same time, she cut my throat."

Hearing the Sword Saint's account, I was shocked. Riven was stabbed in the heart? I didn't find her body nearby. Did she struggle to escape, or was she rescued by Aatrox?

Without a doubt, I hoped she would be rescued, but I was also conflicted because that would mean the enemy would become stronger.

Irelia forced a smile onto her pale face, "We're all alright, Yasuo. Go check on the other battlefields. A day and a night have passed; the other two should have decided their victories by now, right?"

Thank you for your understanding, but I won't put everyone's interests at risk for my own selfish reasons!

I know Irelia wants me to go find Riven, but I can't do that.

I used to think I could stand against the world for Riven, but now I realize I overestimated myself.

I'm not that great, not brave enough to abandon everything for love, especially those friends who trust me.

If I were to actually do that, wouldn't everyone here fighting to the death, everyone far away in Freljord resisting the Void, and even Sivir who has always been understanding and forgiving of me, be heartbroken?

I got up and headed to the eastern battlefield, where the Kinkou Order was fighting Zed, Kayn, Alanta, and others, but I ran into Niko on the way.

At this moment, she transformed into my appearance, holding Nidalee in her arms, looking utterly panicked.

"Yasuo, please save Nidalee! A monster slashed her stomach, and the wound just won't heal!"

"Calm down first, put her on the ground and let me take a look."

Nidalee was in her leopard form at this moment. Her body had been greatly enhanced after receiving the power of Vastaya Xerath, but she was still injured by the Vastaya.

Her stomach was ripped open, and her internal organs could spill out at any moment. Niko tried many methods, but nothing worked. There was no doubt that this was the damage caused by Zed's Steel Claws.

"Wasn't Ivern with you? Didn't you ask him for help?"

"He's dead! That monster with the scythe was too powerful! It defeated everyone!"

"Kayn? He defeated all of you?"

"When Niko escaped, only Lee Sin was left fighting the monster. He told Niko to run away quickly, but Niko didn't want to abandon Nidalee, so she brought her here."

"Then you should be able to gain my power by transforming into my appearance, so why don't you join Lee Sin in killing the enemy?"

"Niko... Niko is a coward..."

Perhaps because of my blaming tone, Niko cried even harder. Actually, it's not entirely her fault. Vastaya Xerath had already said that even if she gained great power, she might not be able to use it.

Nidalee is on the verge of death, and I can't save her in this situation. I can only send Niko to find Irelia and see if she can help.

After Niko left, I continued eastward and soon came across a large number of corpses, including members of the Shadow Cult, members of the Balance Cult, and even Vastaya and my friends.

The first people I found were Xia and Luo. They were tightly embracing each other, their bodies pierced by a spear. Feathers fell to the ground, mixing with the mud under the rain.

Their faces were already pale from blood loss, yet they wore expressions of happiness.

In life, we share the same bed; in death, we share the same grave.

Ignoring my grief, I continued my search and soon found Ahri. She was originally a beautiful girl, but now she was in a terrible state.

I don't want to describe the horrific scene. After confirming that she was no longer alive, I prepared to continue walking, when she suddenly grabbed my leg.

"Help me."

"Good!"

I don't know how she woke up, so I quickly wrapped her in a blanket to make sure she wouldn't be jostled while traveling.

I hadn't walked far when I saw Alanta not far away. She was kneeling on all fours, bent over, her back severely injured, and her body was slowly decomposing.

As I got closer, I heard soft sobbing. I lifted Alanta's body and found Akali weeping with her face covered, both Cross Scythe stuck in her mother's chest.

Seeing this scene, I understood: the mother and daughter had a fierce battle, and then suffered some kind of powerful attack. Alanta rushed over to protect her daughter, but Akali misunderstood and plunged the Cross Scythe into her body.

I gently hugged Akali, hoping she could have someone to lean on. After a long while, she stopped crying and revealed a determined expression.

"I'm alright, Yasuo. You hurry towards the temple. I wonder how Master Lee Sin is doing. I'll take care of Ahri for her!"

"Okay! Be careful, find a place to hide first!"

After putting Ahri, I rushed to the Kinkou Order. The place was peaceful, or rather, deathly silent, with no sign of life at all.

The Kinkou Monastery had long been destroyed, and ruins were everywhere. In the ruins, I found the brothers Shen and Zed.

Shen's steel blade was embedded in Zed's left shoulder, while his Soul Blade was deeply pierced into his heart. At the same time, Shen was killed by Zed, with a huge wound extending from his face to his abdomen, from which all the blood had long since drained away.

I didn't find Lee Sin or Kayn here, so I continued forward and eventually found them at the Shu Ji Monastery.

Kayn knelt on the ground, his chest now a hollow hole, whether from being blasted through by Lee Sin or from slow decay was unknown.

There were many corpses nearby, their heads separated from their bodies. They must have been beheaded by the giant scythe during the siege of Kayn, including powerful figures like Talon, Tianshu, and Li.

To my relief, Lee Sin's body wasn't here; he's very likely still alive!

I also didn't find Kennen. I don't know if he's too small to be found or if he's gone somewhere else. I hope it's the latter.

There wasn't much left to see here, so I went back the way I came, taking Akali and Ahri with me to meet up with Irelia and the others.

By this time, the Sword Saint could walk again, Irelia was much better, but I didn't see Niko or Nidalee. Had they gotten lost?

"Didn't Niko find you?"

"She left, saying she wanted to avenge Nidalee."

Nidalee is dead?

"Yes, she was too badly injured, I couldn't save her." Irelia felt guilty.

"This was a closely fought battle; casualties were inevitable. Don't be sad."
