LeBlanc: Surrender, Can't I Just Surrender!
"Do you want me to take you with me?"
A voice sounded behind Li Ke. Li Ke turned around and saw Swain, who was flying in mid-air with his hands behind his back. His black coat was being blown by the wind, making a violent howling and crackling sound. But strangely, Swain's white hair was close to his face and his slicked-back hair was not blown into disarray.
I must say, Swain looks really cool in this outfit.
His deep-set eyes were also looking at Li Ke, and in Swain's usually calm eyes, there was now a hint of joy and relief.
"Then I really need your help. Janna locked me out too, and I can't get in now," Li Ke said with a smile and a nod.
Swain hearing this. He reached out to Li Ke, Li Ke felt a force envelop him, but Li Ke did not resist.
Then, Swain landed on the ground and walked towards Li Ke.
He looked at Li Ke and asked, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, "Are you really not afraid?"
Li Ke understood what Swain meant.
He was now enveloped in demonic power. In Swain's view, he could take Li Ke's life at any time if he wanted to. After all, Li Ke's behavior of not resisting and letting Swain use his power to envelop him was just like a prisoner willingly sticking his head under a guillotine.
"Swain, Zaun has always placed the utmost trust in its partners," Li Ke said calmly, looking at Swain.
Are you scared?
Li Ke really wasn't afraid.
He knew he couldn't beat Swain, but it would be difficult for Swain to kill him either. After Ahri's favorability rating reached a new level, Li Ke also gained a significant increase in Soul Strength. His current physical and Soul Strength far exceeded what humans should know, and this was also true for mages.
For example, if Li Ke were to face Illaoi again, and Illaoi didn't use Nagakabouros's power, Li Ke could kill Illaoi with some effort.
Therefore, Li Ke doesn't believe he's powerless against Swain, after all, Swain isn't a true Demigod.
Besides, even if things really go wrong and he messes things up, Li Ke still has resurrection coins, right?
Although Kindred said there wouldn't be a next time, the Lamb's Respite skill was still there, and Ahri couldn't possibly disregard her own soul. Therefore, Li Ke was indeed not afraid of Swain.
After listening to Li Ke's words, Swain, then looked up and said, "I understand."
"Let's go, Li Ke. We have to stop LeBlanc. She's no match for the Zaun Deity, but that guy's methods of concealment and escape are very strong. Even a Deity could get away if we're not careful."
"Swain said softly."
As he spoke, he stretched out an arm formed from demonic power. His black and red hand reached towards the wind wall barrier in front of him. With a ripping sound, a large portion of the demonic power in Swain's hand instantly disappeared. The scene was somewhat frightening; at first glance, it looked as if half of Swain's hand had been severed.
This wind wall appears calm and still, but within it, countless raging wind elements are stirring. Janna is the Fury of the Storm; when she gets serious, the commotion she can create for humans is a catastrophe.
Swain, however, was not surprised by this. Soon, new demonic power was replenished, and his hand formed a curved blade, which began to tear and pierce through a section of the wind wall.
With a crisp "pop" sound, the wind wall was finally opened, revealing a curtain.
"Let's go, Li Ke, I can sense LeBlanc's presence."
He smiled and said, a slight smirk playing on his lips.
It's clear that this guy is genuinely happy right now.
Don't think you can catch me like that!
"You wouldn't dare cast magic on a large scale, would you?"
"Are you afraid of accidentally harming the civilians in the city? Well, Noxus has quite a few people who once believed in you!"
LeBlanc dodged Janna's attacks. She wasn't arrogant enough to actually believe she could fight a Deity, but when it came to escape abilities, LeBlanc was second to none in Runeterra.
Countless golden magic circles appeared inside the wind wall, LeBlanc could move freely between each one, allowing her to evade Janna's magic.
Unless this god of Zaun creates a large-scale attack spell, do you really think he can catch me with just wind chains and wind blades?
"Oh!"
Despite her smiling face and seemingly relaxed demeanor, LeBlanc was actually facing a major crisis!
After all, no matter how well she manages to escape, she is always the passive party; the initiative lies with Janna!
Moreover, with such a commotion in the city, Swain must already know. If he comes too, along with the God of Zaun, LeBlanc will probably have no chance of escaping.
Because Swain knows LeBlanc very well!
Since his youth, Swain has had contact with the Black Rose. Over the course of more than twenty years, Swain has caused LeBlanc a lot of trouble, while LeBlanc has also outmaneuvered Swain several times. Remember, the people who know you best and understand you most in the world are not your relatives and friends, but your enemies!
Thinking about this, LeBlanc suddenly couldn't laugh anymore.
Even when she tried to force a smile, she could barely manage one.
Why would I come here in person?!
Why did I suddenly feel dizzy?
LeBlanc really wanted to ask herself why!
"Janna, stop worrying about that. Why do you care about the lives of Noxians? Look at her, Noxians and she doesn't care, so why should you care!"
High up in the hotel, Jinx seemed to have noticed Janna's concerns, and after thinking for a moment, she spoke loudly.
What bad intentions could Xiao Jin possibly have?
Although she identifies with Zaun, Jinx won't be carrying out large-scale celebrations (or destruction) against Zaun now, but she would dare to do so in Piltover.
Not to mention this is Noxus.
From beginning to end, Jinx is still Jinx. She has indeed become much more cheerful now. The Zaunite accept her, Silco and Vander love her, and Vi, although she's always chasing after female cops, is always by her side. Not to mention, compared to Vi, Li Ke now holds the highest place in her heart.
Her personality has become more outgoing, but her values remain fundamentally flawed.
The personality shaped by childhood trauma is not necessarily improved.
Watching Jinx from a normal person's perspective is exhausting; it really is exhausting.
Just like when Li Ke first met Jinx, he had no desire to have anything to do with Jinx, no desire to have anything to do with Jinx. But now, Li Ke is the key to keeping Jinx in check.
With Li Ke around, Jinx at least won't go crazy; she won't do anything drastic.
But wouldn't destroying Noxus be considered an excessive act?
If the Noxians don't care about the lives of their own people, why should we Zaunite care?
Jinx found it strange!
So, she gave Janna some advice!
Hearing Jinx's voice, Janna glanced at Jinx and saw Jinx waving her arms, looking like she wanted to stir up trouble in Noxus.
Seeing this, Janna sighed inwardly.
No, she wouldn't harm ordinary people. And just as LeBlanc said when she provoked me, Noxus also has followers of Janna.
Janna's silence was a rejection of Jinx, but for LeBlanc, it made her heart skip a beat.
LeBlanc glared at Jinx, her beautiful eyes filled with displeasure.
The intelligence I received from the spies did mention that Jinx from Zaun was a bit crazy, but could she really be that crazy?
Forcing Janna to unleash massive amounts of magic inside the Immortal Bastion is like taking a dump on Swain's head—what's the difference?
Doing that would only earn Swain's hatred! It would only lead to an irreconcilable feud with Noxus!
As for LeBlanc herself... well, she doesn't really care about the lives of ordinary people.
As she thought this, another magic circle appeared beneath LeBlanc's feet, preventing Jinx from getting close. The area was filled with violent magical energy, and Janna was constantly protecting Jinx.
Therefore, the only option is to escape, to escape until a chance to get out is found.
However, just as the golden light of the magic circle beneath their feet appeared, a tremendous force swept in from the sky above and to the side.
LeBlanc looked up and saw Li Ke flying through the air alongside Swain.
Before looking at LeBlanc, Swain glanced at Jinx first, and then at Li Ke.
Li Ke simply smiled at this.
"She's still a child."
Upon hearing Li Ke's words, Swain made no comment, nor did he show any expression.
Li Ke's words directly brushed aside Jinx's earlier taunts about Janna destroying Noxus.
Swain's silence was an acceptance.
Yes, who would argue with a madman?
"LeBlanc, you can't escape now."
Swain stretched out his arm, and the multi-eyed raven swelled and grew larger on his shoulder, then screech as it swooped down on LeBlanc.
LeBlanc was startled and gritted her teeth, brandishing her staff. At the same time, Li Ke landed on the ground and rushed towards LeBlanc.
Li Ke is not good at magic, but he is good at fighting, especially after he gained the skill of elemental mastery, making Li Ke a nemesis of mages.
Elemental magic couldn't do much damage to him, but he could easily break through the mage's protective shield.
Just then, Swain, Janna, the blue wind chains, and the black and red blood chains rushed towards LeBlanc, Li Ke also approached LeBlanc.
He reached out and grabbed LeBlanc's shoulder after they came face to face.
Damn it!
Damn it!
Damn it!
LeBlanc cursed "Damn it!" three times in a row.
Immediately afterwards, she tossed her staff towards Li Ke.
Faced with the flying staff, Li Ke instinctively reached out and caught it, then looked up at LeBlanc.
LeBlanc's beautiful face was now dark and gloomy, her white teeth clenched tightly. She looked at Li Ke and then raised her hands.
Li Ke instantly became alert and looked at LeBlanc.
Then LeBlanc screamed:
"I surrender!"
"Fine, I surrender!"
"Is this your plan, or Swain's plan?"
"Damn it, damn it!"
Li Ke: "."
Is he furious?
Swain landed next to Li Ke and looked at LeBlanc with a strange expression.
He had secretly conducted a long-term investigation into LeBlanc, and his demonic abilities had allowed him to learn about LeBlanc through various channels. But looking at the woman in front of him screaming and raising her hands in surrender...
Swain simply couldn't apply words like "strategic, calm and intelligent, powerful and mysterious, ruthless and merciless" to LeBlanc.
After a moment's hesitation, Swain spoke up, "Li Ke, please ask Janna for a favor, use her power to seal and restrain LeBlanc."
Li Ke nodded.
Half an hour later, in Swain's study.
Li Ke, Jinx, Swain, Janna, and Draven, who was glanced at several times by Li Ke.
Everyone gathered in Swain's study, looking at the woman sitting on the floor, barefoot, wearing special socks.
LeBlanc sat on the ground, her hands clasped together in front of her. A gentle breeze gathered at her wrists, making them look like wind handcuffs.
She looked up, her face full of displeasure.
After taking off her shoes, her bare feet were incredibly white, with long, rounded toes. A small gold ring was worn on the middle toe of each foot, paired with purple-blue footed socks, making LeBlanc's bare feet very attractive.
At least Li Ke couldn't help but glance at it several times, which displeased Jinx.
But you know what, you really have to admit, those little embellishments on your feet do look really good!
It's a bit like adding a little seasoning to food?
"Tell me, whose plan is this?"
"I've really messed up, "LeBlanc said quietly. She glanced at Li Ke, then at Swain, and continued in a cold voice, "How could you have imagined I'd go to Jinx?"
"If I didn't go to Jinx, but instead sent people directly to Zaun to capture Silco and the others, wouldn't Zaun be finished?"
"You underestimate Zaun. Unless you take action yourself, even if Elise went to Zaun, she would only return empty-handed," Li Ke said with a smile after hearing LeBlanc's words.
Zaun's current combat strength, excluding Janna, also includes Vander, Akali, Sett.
In the fight between Elise and Katarina, Elise clearly held back, and by a significant margin. However, with Akali, Sett's mother, Vander combined, Li Ke doesn't believe Elise can win.
Not to mention Ekko, Viktor, Jayce, Singed, Heimerdinger, and others.
Even Li Ke, a Zaunite, couldn't fully understand the current state of technology in Zaun; he only knew that it was changing every day.
Just be strong, that's all that matters!
"This is Li Ke's plan," Swain said from the side.
He continued, "Li Ke said that this plan is useless to others, but it's very useful to you."
LeBlanc squinted.
Swain was still saying:
He said you're smart and resourceful, but your flaws are blind arrogance and overconfidence, and most importantly, you're a jinx.
"?"
Am I the unlucky one?
LeBlanc, after hearing the beginning, initially thought Li Ke was praising her. Although she was very unhappy about being captured, the person who captured her was Swain, the Lord of Zaun, the Deity of Zaun.
For such a team to come after me shows how much I value myself.
Moreover, intelligent and resourceful—listen to that, what an apt description!
But what happened next?
Calling me arrogant is one thing, but...
What do you mean by calling me an unlucky guy?!
LeBlanc.
He glared at Li Ke with displeasure.
