"Li Ke, should I go with you, or should I go first?"
On Li Ke's shoulder, a beautiful little bluebird spread its wings and tilted its head, speaking in a crisp voice.
Li Ke took a deep breath and looked at the distant sky. With Janna's help, he had already appeared behind the Winter's Claw stronghold. Just a few dozen kilometers ahead was the Frozen Sea, and from there, Li Ke could already see the Ursine Mountain.
But while Ursine Mountain is called a mountain, it is actually an enormous island, many times larger than the entire Bilgewater. At this moment, beneath the dense thunderclouds, Li Ke sensed that powerful force, and his body trembled involuntarily.
"Janna, can you manage alone? Volibear is far stronger than you." Li Ke said hesitantly. Sending Janna over now would only result in Janna injury. Although Janna had indeed been getting stronger over the years, Janna was still too weak compared to the ancient Deity Volibear.
As a result, Li Ke was hesitant to let Janna go over.
"No." And Janna's reply was exactly what Li Ke had expected.
The little bluebird opened its beak and continued, "But another Deity has already arrived, look, right there." Janna raised one wing, pointing towards the eastern sky.
"You have her scent on you, so she's someone you've only recently met, right?"
"But she's strange. She clearly doesn't have a divine status, yet her strength is no weaker than that of Demigod," Janna said.
From the moment she arrived here with Li Ke, Janna felt she was being watched, but the presence of Li Ke's scent made Janna forget about it.
After all, that's just how Li Ke is; who knows how he managed to attract the attention of so many Deity?
Upon hearing Janna's words, Li Ke knew that Lissandra had arrived.
"Then go."
Li Ke said to Janna.
"Um."
With a flap of her wings, Janna took to the sky.
Ten minutes ago--
"Ursine will never be slaves!"
With a thunderous roar, the Ursine priest brandished his staff, and several gates formed from black clouds appeared on the altar. The next moment, countless Ursine roared and charged towards the gates at the altar.
Above the mountaintop, a pair of enormous claws whipped up lightning as they swung. Volibear intended to transform into a bolt of lightning and Flash to the Ice Needle Forest to engage in battle.
But just as he was about to set off, an extremely cold chill surged forth and instantly froze Ursine Mountain.
A purplish-blue ice band encircled the Ursine Mountain, with ice crystals piercing outwards and extending. In the blink of an eye, countless dense, enormous ice spikes appeared on the Ursine Mountain, each ice spike bearing a hint of purple, or rather, a purplish-black hue, pointing outwards from the Ursine Mountain.
"Witch! It was you!"
Volibear awoke instantly. In the air, lightning became his pupils, and dark clouds gathered to form his head. Thunder rumbled as he looked at the woman in the distant sky.
She stood in the air, separated by the Frozen Sea.
She wore a long white dress that shimmered with a blue light, her slender hands pointing towards Ursine Mountain. Moonlight bathed her, and her delicate fingers gleamed like jade in the moonlight. Her slightly bent knuckles, tinged with a faint pink, made a grasping motion. Then, she raised her bare face, her lifeless white eyes meeting Volibear's gaze.
"You dare show your face in front of me!"
"Why wouldn't I dare?" Lissandra said to Volibear.
With a solemn expression, Lissandra's white hair cascaded down her back. The wound around her eye was very noticeable, and at that moment, upon hearing Volibear's roar, Lissandra felt a pain begin to throb in her eye.
This scar almost ran through her entire life!
From nine thousand years ago until now, Lissandra has never found a way to heal her eyes. Although she no longer needs to see, as she can use magic to perceive everything, the inability to see sunlight and colors has always made her life less enjoyable.
"Fine! Then I'll kill you first, and then wipe out Freljord!" Volibear laughed wildly, and immediately afterward, an enormous bear appeared on the mountaintop, its muscles bulging, with a strange earring on its round ear, and two braids of fur tied up on its shoulders, with huge runestones attached to them.
The giant bear raised its left hand and slammed it down.
"Boom!"
Thunderclouds appeared within a two-kilometer radius of Lissandra's location, followed by crackling sounds as countless bolts of lightning struck Lissandra from the sky.
Lissandra stretched her arms forward, fingers evenly spread, and then pulled Lissandra back to her chest, closed her eyes, and touched the tips of her fingers together, a terrifying chill gathering in her palms.
Then a blue ice layer, tens of meters long and several meters wide, appeared above Lissandra's head.
It hovered in the air, forming a shield above Lissandra's head.
The lightning struck the ice, causing it to shatter and scatter. However, the chilling aura emanating from Lissandra's hands continued to surge, and ice began to grow above her head.
"You've become even stronger than before! But that's not enough! Witch, this time I'll cut off your head as my spoils, as the horn that awakens the Old Ways!" Volibear, seeing that his lightning couldn't penetrate the ice created by the witch, not only wasn't angry, but burst into laughter.
"Heh, Volibear, you've gotten quite weaker over the years," Lissandra retorted, lightly waving her right hand at the Volibear.
"Call out!"
Countless ice crystals emerged from behind Lissandra, and in the next moment, they rained down on Volibear in a dense barrage.
The bear spirit ignored the attacks, letting the ice crystals pelt him. Soon, his fur turned red, but Volibear paid no heed and charged straight at the witch.
As he drew nearer, he leaped high into the air, his claws slashing towards the witch's face.
"When!"
"Snap--"
The imagined strike to the witch did not occur, because Volibear's claw landed on the wind barrier, which resembled a shield.
The next moment, a massive ice crystal, tens of meters thick, crashed down on Volibear, knocking him back to the ground.
"Who is it!"
Volibear shook his head, his braids swung as his body swelled and grew larger, and when he raised his head, he roared angrily at the sky.
A holy and beautiful white-haired woman, holding a scepter, stood solemnly beside Lissandra —it was Janna.
She used her wind magic to trap Volibear, but Volibear shattered it with a single claw. It's worth noting that back in Noxus, LeBlanc couldn't do anything about Janna's wind barrier.
This shows just how powerful Volibear is!
And judging from the conversation just now, it seems that this bear's strength has weakened somewhat over the years? Is it because of the injuries it sustained?
Janna was unaware.
"Li Ke's men?" Lissandra looked at Janna, thought for a moment, and said softly.
"It is the god of the Li Ke family." Janna said seriously. After speaking, she raised her hand and shook the staff in her hand. Terrifying wind pressure, carrying lightning and snow, surged towards the ground. The earth in the area where Volibear was located caved in and shattered, but Volibear still stood in place.
"You came alone?" Lissandra and Janna launched an attack together, frost and storm converged to form a blizzard, which lashed out at Volibear with biting ferocity.
"I also notified Swain, but I don't know if he can come," Janna replied, then asked, "What, can't the two of us beat him?"
"I've fought them." Lissandra gave a wry smile and shook her head.
"It will be difficult for the two of us to stop him; we need another Deity," she said to Janna.
Hearing Lissandra's words, Janna was shocked. She couldn't sense Volibear's strength, but she could sense Lissandra's.
Lissandra possesses approximately twice the power of Janna!
But even so, they couldn't withstand the bear?
If Lissandra knew what Janna was thinking, she would simply nod in agreement.
Yes, I have indeed become much stronger over the years. Now I can fight Volibear and am no longer the person who could be blinded by a single claw from Volibear.
Volibear did indeed become somewhat weaker due to the corruption of the Void and the damage to his own injuries.
The problem is, this bear could become even stronger at any moment due to its growing thirst for battle.
This bear is the kind of bear that truly grows stronger and more courageous with each battle.
In the entire Freljord, the only one who can truly be confident in suppressing Volibear is Ornn!
"Then what should we do?"
"Let's do our best. After we settle things with Udyr, we'll wait for him to come over, and then there will be three of us," Lissandra.
Janna nodded, and when she looked down at Volibear, her body trembled slightly.
How to put it
She always felt that she and Volibear had the same elemental affinity. Although this bear was full of electricity, his control over the wind was no weaker Janna's. And Janna, who called herself the Goddess of Wind, was now facing a real storm.
This is a challenge!
Looking at the battle on Ursine Mountain in the distance, Li Ke unconsciously swallowed and his lips twitched slightly.
Damn, I'm scared, really scared!
Lissandra and Janna intercepted Volibear on the Ursine Mountain, and even from this distance, Li Ke could sense the battle unfolding in the distant sky.
Besides using elemental manipulation to sense magical energy, Li Ke can also see with his naked eye the continuous appearance of lightning, wind walls, and ice shards.
The battle between Demigod can change the world. In just a short time, a small part of Ursine Mountain had been cut off, and the entire mountain had been turned into an ice sculpture.
Janna and Lissandra stopped Volibear, but the Ursine had already crossed the Frozen Sea with the help of the Ursine priests.
At this moment, Li Ke could also see countless black dots surging towards Freljord.
Li Ke looked at the group of Ursine charging towards him and felt his body begin to heat up.
He hadn't fought in a long time, especially not a battle where he could die.
Li Ke doesn't fight, but occasionally, he does have warlike thoughts, probably driven by the trials of the Wolf Spirit, but it could also be due to Li Ke himself; he wants to know where his limits are.
The Ursine are not weak; each Ursine warrior possesses the ability to wield lightning, and is incredibly strong and robust.
As seen in a previous CG, Sejuani, wielding her True Ice weapon, could kill several Ursine when she used her full power. Olaf could also fight Ursine alone, but for the warriors of Winter's Claw, it took four or five people to deal with a single Ursine, let alone ordinary people.
The Trifarian Legion, the Dauntless Vanguard —faced by the Ursine, ha! Before the subordinates of Demigod, they'd be like tofu shattering at the slightest touch.
In the entire Freljord, probably only Lissandra's core Frostguard are capable of fighting the Ursine.
Ornn's followers of Hearth-Home are also unsuitable, because Ornn has never bestowed power upon the Hearth-Home. After all, Ornn has never regarded himself as Deity of Hearth-Home, but rather as an old craftsman. His relationship with the Hearth-Home is more like that of a master and apprentice, or friends.
Ornn is an old tsundere. On the surface, he says he doesn't need the Hearth-Home, but when Volibear killed Hearth-Home, Ornn angrily fought Volibear and injured his own brother.
After that, he never came out again, locking himself in a cave and blaming himself for losing Hearth-Home.
Ornn
Forget it, now is not the time to think about Ornn.
Shaking his head, Li Ke shook off those distracting thoughts; he no longer had time to indulge in idle speculation.
Because Li Ke could already hear the roars of the Ursine.
"For the glory of the Ursine!"
"Fight, slaughter, awaken the Old Ways!"
"For Valhir!"
"Bring war to everyone!"
Li Ke squinted and counted, estimating that there were about three hundred Ursine. Among them were several enormous Ursine size was disproportionate to the Ursine around them. Moreover, many of these Ursine -Ursine had Ursine, and strange, huge creatures followed behind them.
Reaching up to brush the hair behind his ear, Li Ke tied his hair up, his rather long black hair forming a small black bun at the back of his head. Of course, it couldn't compare to Jinx's large blue bun, but Li Ke's hair was still quite thick, and it looked bouncy and pretty.
Immediately afterwards, Li Ke stretched out his hands and shook them to the side, activating Elemental Mastery and Wind-Controlling Sword Art. A wind sword appeared in both of Li Ke's hands. Then, after Eye of God breath, Li Ke took a step and stepped onto the ice of the Frozen Sea.
Next up was Sejuani's Winter's Claw. The old and weak in the tribe were no match for the Ursine. Right now, the main force hadn't returned yet, and Lissandra and Janna couldn't help them either.
After all, the war in the distance was far more terrifying than this one; the battle between the three gods seemed to have the momentum of a thousand armies.
Therefore, Li Ke can only rely on himself for now.
Thinking of this, Li Ke smiled.
She wasn't worried about dying; Kindred was stubborn but soft-hearted. She said it was impossible to resurrect Li Ke in the Soul Blossom, but if something really happened to Li Ke and he really died, then Kindred would definitely resurrect her, since Ahri would almost certainly be clinging to her then.
"Then, I'll stay here alone."
Using both arms to exert force,
With a powerful swing of both swords,
A sword wind swept across his face.
Li Ke started running, charging alone towards the Ursine army.
