I came prepared for two scenarios, but it still turned out to be unexpected. 😾 👤👮

LeBlanc is neither our enemy nor our ally; she's more like a spectator.

Just as I was about to leave, she appeared again, holding a piece of clothing in her hand.

"Are you in such a hurry to leave?"

"I thought you were gone; you even disappeared from sight just now."

"I just went to get a piece of clothing because I thought you might need it. Try it on and see if it fits."

"For me?"

"Otherwise what? You're not afraid to wear it, are you?"

The color of this clothing is the same as the skin of the Void Creatures, and some parts are even writhing. No one would dare to wear it casually!

If wearing it turns you into a monster, then there'll be no way to explain it!

"You didn't skin a Void Creatures alive, did you?"

"Pretty much. This is Living Outerwear; wearing it allows you to move freely among monsters."

Are you sure I won't be swallowed up by this dress?

"I don't know about that. Anyway, none of the Black Rose members have had any accidents after wearing them. Whether you wear them or not is entirely up to you. Don't blame me if anything happens."

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

I took the clothes from LeBlanc's hand, ready to try them on; she wanted to make sure I didn't have to go to all this trouble.

And as she said, I do want to venture deep into the monster's heartland, and if possible, explore the void rifts, perhaps to discover some unknown truths.

This is a long robe. Once I put it on, it dissolved my original clothes and clung to my body!

Then, waves of restless energy invaded my body, feeling as uncomfortable as countless tiny needles piercing my skin!

Soon my body was completely wrapped up, and everything except my eyes turned blackish-purple!

At that moment, I couldn't help but feel a little panicked. "You really didn't lie to me? I feel really uncomfortable!"

"Does it hurt? Don't you find the slight stinging sensation comfortable?"

"Okay, I don't really understand how you feel. How do you take this off?"

"You can't take it off; once you put it on, it's yours forever."

Why didn't you say so sooner! How can I face anyone looking like this?

"Don't worry, it will disappear once your body adjusts, and you'll be back to normal."

"How long will that take?"

"It varies from person to person. Some recover in three to five days, while others take ten days to half a month. The longest it will take is no more than half a year, so don't worry!"

"..."

LeBlanc spoke so casually, but I feel incredibly pressured. How can I relax?

If it's just three to five days, that's fine; I can just hide here for a few days. But what if it's really ten days, half a month, or even half a year? I can't just disappear into thin air, can I? Sivir is still waiting for me at the outpost!

"Is there any way to speed things up? I can't wait that long."

Please, please.

"Uh... please help me speed up the fusion process, I really don't want to wait too long."

Hearing LeBlanc's words reassured me a lot; it seems she really does have a way, she's just teasing me.

However, I still pretended to be very worried, otherwise she would get bored if I was too calm, like a prank that had failed.

Sure enough, LeBlanc chuckled when she saw my frightened expression, then conjured a ball of dark magic in her hand and slowly stroked my body.

Her hands roamed everywhere, leaving no spot untouched, and I reasonably suspected she was taking advantage of me!

After a while, the stinging sensation on my body finally subsided, and at the same time Living Outerwear slowly faded, and my skin gradually returned to its previous color.

My body has recovered, but my clothes haven't; I'm basically naked now!

In addition, after the stinging sensation in the body disappeared, certain physiological reactions became difficult to suppress.

I quickly took a few steps back and turned around to avoid embarrassment, but LeBlanc still noticed me:

"Hehe, although he's a god, he's still a young man after all, quite energetic!"

"Please excuse my rudeness. I'll go find some clothes first, otherwise it would be too impolite."

"Go ahead, I'm leaving too. You'll just have to adjust on your own eventually. I reckon it won't take more than a few days before you can't tell at all."

"Oh? It'll take a few more days. I thought it would be recovered today."

"Dream on! This has already greatly accelerated your adaptation. By the way, although the Living Outerwear allows you to move freely in the Void, don't forget that you are ultimately not one of them. If you get hurt, you will still be exposed, so don't think about fighting in this form unless you are confident that you won't get hurt."

"Understood! Thank you!"

This time, LeBlanc really left, and I started wandering around the city, trying to find a suitable outfit, but I couldn't find one after searching for a long time.

When people flee, they usually take three things with them: money, clothing, and food. It's just unexpected that the Noxus packed up so cleanly.

There's no other way, I'll just find a piece of cloth to cover myself for now, and go ask Rappor for a set of clothes when I've fully recovered.

Aside from cities like Piltover and Zaun, which are essentially single-city kingdoms, Immortal Fortress is probably the largest city in Runeterra, and its buildings are extremely densely packed.

I walked down the deserted streets as if I were experiencing the end of the world.

I originally thought that even if humans disappeared, insects like mosquitoes would still be around. But now, just six months later, apart from the occasional bird flying over the roof, I can't see any other creatures at all.

Before I knew it, I arrived at the house Darius had given me. Draven had taken it over and turned it into an orphanage. I hadn't lived there for a single day. Now, finally, no one was going to take it from me.

Previously, the various flowers and trees here were kept very neat and tidy by the housekeeper, but now they are overgrown with weeds and growing unevenly.

Since I was bored anyway, I decided to manipulate the Wind Force to trim it. I worked on it for a long time, but when I looked back, it was even more messy.

It's true that everyone has their own expertise; the Wind Riding Technique can be applied in many areas, but this seemingly simple task is beyond its capabilities.

I ran all the way into the house, as if I had done something wrong and was afraid of being found out. I couldn't help but laugh at my own thoughts, but as I laughed, I suddenly felt a little sad.

Such a lonely scene can easily make people feel depressed. Now, seeing this scene evokes memories of Riven.

At that time, the Battle of Freljord had just ended, and as a reward, Darius gave us this mansion.

Riven and I came here wanting a home of our own, but we never imagined that in just two years we would become enemies.

Now, because of Sivir, it's impossible for us to make up. Will our next meeting be a fight with swords drawn?

If that's the case, then I'd rather never see them again.

Just as I was lost in thought, I suddenly heard someone come in from outside. Who would return to this deserted city?

I didn't show myself; I planned to take a look quietly.
