Chapter 316: Things Ryze Has Never Experienced
The white light gradually disappeared, and a blue bald old man appeared in front of everyone.
There were countless magical tattoos engraved on his body, and powerful energy was emanating from his body uncontrollably.
And the moment he saw the other party, Li Ke felt as if there was a voice in his heart calling out to him to kill the mage in front of him so that he could gain more power.
"There is something fishy indeed..."
Li Ke covered the chest of the World Rune and wrapped the Rune Conqueror with his own power to isolate the strange feeling.
His feeling was indeed not wrong, the world rune did have its own will!
The person who was teleported here from the teleportation array looked at Kara, whose life had been completely cut off and whose body was frozen by ice. A flash of pain flashed across his purple face for a moment, which was seen by his former comrade-in-arms.
“Ryze…”
Kara called out the old man's name, causing Ryze's back to hunch further.
"I'm sorry I'm late."
After he sensed the power of the rune, he quickly rushed to Shurima, because he knew that the influence of the rune was permanent. As a person who had held the rune, it was absolutely impossible for Kara not to be attracted and influenced by this newly appeared rune .
But in the end, he was late.
Kara looked at Ryze who came and thought of the prophecy that she thought would never come true, but when she thought of this, she couldn't help but shook her head.
Even if Ryze arrived, she would still die.
The only difference is at whose hands she died.
Li Ke, or Ryze, or Brand, from the moment you make this decision, there is no turning back.
Slowly closing her eyes, she had thought countless times that if she had really died beside Ryze, instead of lingering on until now, would she have had a heroic ending.
Instead of being like now, betraying friends and dying like a clown.
So, she opened her eyes in her dying moments and looked at Ryze who had a sad face.
"I hate you, Ryze."
She hated Ryze for not letting her take the Life Rune, she hated why Ryze didn't kill her to keep the secret, she hated why Ryze didn't let her die at that time.
She hated herself...
Kara's life was completely gone, and Ryze closed her eyes in pain.
Just by looking into Kara's eyes, he could guess what his former comrade had done and what he wanted to do to him.
She simply wanted to use the fact that she collected runes to fight with other rune holders so that she could reap the benefits.
He really couldn't remember how many times this kind of thing had happened in the past thousand years, and each time it was done by someone he felt he could entrust with this responsibility.
“…May you rest in peace.”
After closing Kara's eyes, Ryze stood up, looked at Li Ke who had been standing there quietly, and tilted his head.
"You don't seem to want to attack me."
He was very surprised by this.
Anyone who obtains the power of runes will find it almost impossible to resist the power of runes. That is the power of the rules of this world, a power that can create something out of nothing, and even reverse life and death.
The people of Runeterra all crave power, and there is no way to refuse it.
"Because I've encountered enough troubles on this trip, let me make a deal. I give you this thing, you heal my friend, and teleport me directly back to Piltover. How about that? I don't want to get into trouble anymore."
With his hand on his chest, Li Ke took out the rune that had entered his body on its own initiative and threw it to Ryze.
The golden rune drew a long trace in the air and fell towards Ryze.
Ryze didn't react at first and even thought it was some kind of attack.
But when he saw clearly what Li Ke threw at him, and saw the power and the delicate patterns on it, it was too late for him to receive it. He only had time to deflect his attack.
The next moment, a ball of high-intensity energy flew out from Li Ke's side, brushed past the head of Nasus who was standing silently on the side, shattered his hood and a layer of hair on his head, and directly hit the ground, creating a large pit of nearly 50 meters and raising smoke and dust nearly 100 meters high.
The rune thrown by Li Ke hit Ryze's face hard, causing Ryze to raise his head high, looking very funny.
“…”
Li Ke froze in place, his eyes and mouth wide open.
He swore that this was the closest he had been to death in the past few days! If he had been hit directly by that blow just now, his head would have been gone!
"Damn Ryze!!"
Li Ke rushed over directly, grabbed Ryze's lush beard and pulled it hard, causing Ryze's chin and chest to collide hard, and also causing the runes on Ryze's face to fall to the ground.
"You really want to kill me?!"
Nasus also walked over silently. Not only had the armor between his ears completely disappeared, but his scalp was also bald without any hair. The wind made him feel cold and made him feel quite uncomfortable.
He touched his scalp and then remained silent.
The body of an ascender is extremely strong and almost impossible to be destroyed, but if it is really injured, even if it is just a minor problem like hair loss, it will take at least decades to recover.
Therefore, he wanted to speak out about Li Ke who was almost killed for no apparent reason!
Because he was almost killed!
And bald!
Nasus, who had been very depressed since the destruction of Shurima, had fantasized that one day he would cheer up and be filled with excitement, but he never imagined that he would be so excited!
"Wrong, misunderstanding, I thought you were going to attack me, because it has been like this for thousands of years... It hurts... Let go! Stop pulling my beard!"
Ryze had never met someone who would give him the runes so decisively. Usually, he would end up being eliminated by him.
In these thousands of years, there has never been anyone like Li Ke who was willing to give it to himself after obtaining it and using the power of the rune!
Anyone who has used the power of the rune and sees him will want to kill him and monopolize the rune!
So the moment Li Ke moved his hands, he released his magical energy, hoping to defeat the enemy with one blow and avoid some trouble.
He never expected that Li Ke would actually throw the rune to him!
If it weren't for the constant pain in his jaw, he would have thought he was dreaming!
