A Hasty Escape

Startled by this, Twisted Fate quickly released his grip and took a few steps back, nearly falling to the ground.

"No... impossible!"

"Yes, that's exactly who I am. This is the real Evelynn!"

Evelynn slowly approached, but Twisted Fate kept backing away, finally screaming and fleeing.

Seeing his distraught state, I was really afraid something might happen, but he had teleported away, and I couldn't catch up with him at all.

At this moment, Evelynn transformed back into her human form, a hint of weariness showing on her delicate face:

"Ha, they finally left."

Her tone was no longer flippant; a rare look of sadness appeared on her face, showing that she still cared about Twisted Fate.

Why hurt him like this? Don't you care about him a lot?

"Not telling him the truth would be the real harm; he should have given up by now."

"Actually, you could live in Runeterra in human form and stay away from this conflict."

"Alright, Yasuo, stop trying to win me over. You should leave too. Once Father finds out, you won't be able to leave."

"You're really not that evil. I hope I can see you on the side of humanity someday. Now, goodbye!"

After saying that, I left the cave, not knowing if Evelynn had taken it all in.

To be honest, compared to those Void Creatures, I think she does look more like a human.

It might be related to her spending so much time traveling in Runeterra; anyway, I hope she can be with us.

Although she made many mistakes, she was not the mastermind, and she helped us in many ways.

Forget it, I don't want to think about these things anymore. I don't have the energy to care about her feelings right now; I'm in the Void Nest!

When I got outside, I found that this was still the Howling Abyss. Just as I was wondering whether I should go further down to take a look, I suddenly felt a violent aura sweeping over me!

Ever since crossing the Laos River, the atmosphere on the earth has been restless, but I've been able to hold it in. Now, however, I have a very uneasy feeling about it.

Soon, a violent energy storm arose around us, and I was completely unable to control this Wind Force!

This isn't the wind, but the oppressive force of its aura!

Could it be the Void Lord?

Regardless, I can't withstand that kind of momentum alone, so it seems I can't continue the investigation.

There were many loose rocks around me. I struggled to gather my Wind Force and climbed upwards by stepping on the rocks. It took me a long time to finally see the top of the cliff.

Suddenly, a pair of eyes appeared above me, like two huge vortexes, making me feel dizzy.

Yes, it's those Evil Eyes from my dream!

Oh no, I've been found out!

I quickly closed my eyes to avoid meeting those eyes. I couldn't do it in a dream, but I could avoid it in reality.

Guided by instinct, I stepped onto a large rock and prepared to launch myself upwards. My body suddenly froze in mid-air and then began to slowly fall!

At that moment, I didn't care about being exposed or not, and directly unleashed all my power to fight back.

But no matter how hard I tried, I could only keep myself from falling; I still couldn't get up!

Just as I was getting anxious, someone suddenly tapped me on the shoulder, and then I felt dizzy and was teleported away.

A few seconds later I opened my eyes and found that I had left the Howling Abyss. Twisted Fate was sitting next to me, panting.

"What is that thing? It's terrifying!"

"It must be the Void Lord, Evelynn's father. By the way, you didn't leave? I thought you'd been hurt and left!"

"I did leave initially, but then I thought about it and realized I couldn't just give up like that. No matter what kind of creature she is, she's still Evelynn, the person I know, and I have to accept her!"

"Haha, okay, she'll be so happy to hear that. But we should go now, let's come back another time."

"No, Evelynn said that if I wanted to be with her, I had to adapt to the Void, so I've decided to confront the Void Lord and have him turn me into one of his own!"

"Hey, are you kidding me? Can't you be a decent human being?"

"You don't need to try to persuade me, Yasuo. My mind is made up. You can leave on your own. I won't allow Evelynn to have anyone else in her heart."

This guy was actually jealous of me!

"Believe me, Evelynn was just joking. She was really upset after you left!"

"Then I absolutely cannot leave. I can't let her stay sad!"

In the game, one was a gambler and the other a harlot, but I never expected them to be so deeply in love now; it really surprised me.

I absolutely cannot let Twisted Fate become Void Creatures. What if his mind is controlled and he uses Teleportation to send monsters to the Heart of the Land? That would be disastrous. Thinking of this, I continued to persuade him:

Do you know why Evelynn did this? She wants to force you to leave. Aren't you just disappointing her by going back now?

I will make my own judgment about what she thinks, not listen to yours!

As soon as Twisted Fate finished speaking, the violent storm enveloped us again, and countless tentacles stretched out from it, binding us tightly!

Then, malevolent eyes appeared, as if these eyes were his true form.

Now that's bad, we can't leave even if we wanted to!

Twisted Fate was unable to conjure magic under these circumstances, but he wasn't worried at all; in fact, he was somewhat looking forward to it.

I tried to cut the tentacles with the Wind Force and found it wasn't that difficult. Perhaps the reason I couldn't gather power before was because I was in the void rift. Now that I'm out of there, it's much better.

After breaking free of my restraints, I ran south in a frenzy until I was far away from the void energy storm before I stopped.

As for Twisted Fate, we can only leave it to fate. It's not that I don't want to help him, but I'm afraid he won't leave, and then even I won't be able to leave.

However, I believe he will be fine; Evelynn should be able to help him.

On the other hand, Twisted Fate was one in a million when he underwent the experiment in Zaun, so hopefully he can escape danger this time as well!

"Goddess of Fortune is smiling upon me." That was his favorite saying.

I was not injured, and my Living Outerwear was not damaged, so I don't need to worry about monster attacks.

Moreover, the energy storm didn't pursue them, whether because it disdained to chase or because it was restricted in some way.

I think the Void Lord shouldn't leave so easily; otherwise, with such immense power, he could easily destroy our defenses.

Of course, not being able to leave now doesn't mean we can't leave in the future. If he suddenly reappears one day, we won't be able to handle it.

We must find a way to investigate the truth about the Void as soon as possible. After thinking it over, I think Bard might know something.

Let's go to Mount Targon then; maybe we can find some Aspects to help us!
