When the Purifier team set out for Hylia for the second time, in the Immortal Fortress of Noxus, a dance was quietly held in the darkness.

The pale lady and the scarlet man, two dancing partners who have been working together for thousands of years, once again danced in this deserted castle.

There was no music and no applause, but the two people on the dance floor were completely immersed in it.

Corruption and blood, red and black, condensed into a vortex that has been entangled for thousands of years in this deserted castle.

When the bright moon rose, without warning, the two of them ended their dance at the same time, holding hands and returned to the long table covered with white tablecloths.

When the two sat down, blood and shadows intertwined with each other - the next moment, the delicate decorative roses withered and turned from bright red to black.

The wine is sour, the food is rotten... red and black finally form a clear dividing line in the middle of this long table.

This time the competition... was still evenly divided.

"Dear Miss LeBlanc." Vladimir was the first to speak. He picked up the crystal cup in front of him, swayed the scarlet liquid in it slightly, and took a sip, "This time the dance...

It’s one o’clock early.”

"Is it early?" LeBlanc's mouth was filled with a bright smile, and she seemed not to notice the dissatisfaction in her partner's tone. "After all, it is not easy to find some free time in this season."

"So." Vladimir put down the crystal cup and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Besiliko's war is about to end?"

"Not yet, but... soon." LeBlanc's tone was quite relaxed, "Swain still couldn't hold it back. Although Darius's attack was faster, the impact it caused was not what he wanted to see.

"

"That reckless man still participated in the battle?" Vladimir nodded, as if he had expected it. "Yes, there are not many people Swain can trust."

"It's a pity that he doesn't know what the outcome of this war means." LeBlanc's smile turned evil, "Darius also doesn't know who he killed in this war..."

"It seems that you have found something interesting." Vladimir did not continue to ask curiously, but grasped the key point of the question, "So, why did you find me this time?"

"...Vladimir, you won't please girls if you are so direct." LeBlanc pursed her pale lips slightly, seeming to be quite dissatisfied with Vladimir's directness, "It can't be me.

I miss my friend who is living in seclusion, would you like to come and dance with you?"

"Of course it's impossible." Vladimir also had a smile on his face, "At this time, Miss LeBlanc must be very busy. How could she have time to come to me, an idler who lives in seclusion in the castle and doesn't care about worldly affairs?

"

"Okay, okay." Understanding that Vladimir was dissatisfied with his previous sacrifice, LeBlanc seemed to take a step back, "Actually, I have a special discovery to share with you."

"Want to hear the details."

……………………

After calling Elise and asking her to tell her in detail what she had seen on the Shadow Island, LeBlanc looked at Vladimir with interest.

As an old friend, LeBlanc had some guesses about the source of Vladimir's power, and she was vaguely aware of the connection between Vladimir and the dark descendants.

Now that Elise has brought back a piece of information about the Darkin, LeBlanc is eager to see Vladimir's reaction!

And Vladimir's reaction... far exceeded LeBlanc's expectations.

Hearing Aatrox's name, Vladimir trembled!

Yes, uncontrollable, undisguised trembling!

LeBlanc has never seen him in such a state - she can't even imagine that Vladimir would be in such a state!

We are all old monsters who have lived for thousands of years. How can a name scare you like this?

LeBlanc narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking about the possibility that Vladimir was spreading suspicion.

Could it be that Vladimir is exaggerating?

What LeBlanc doesn't know is that Vladimir is... really scared now.

It's so scary.

Only those who have truly faced the darkspawn and Aatrox can truly understand the trembling that comes from the soul.

As the Darkin's "experiment", Vladimir endured and tolerated for decades before finally regaining the opportunity to risk his life to devour the Lord. Even though there were cannon fodder on his back, he finally completed the fatal

After one blow, Vladimir was still almost destroyed by the Darkin's power, and had to exist in his current state of twisted blood.

However, the dark descendants who enslaved him at the beginning were just ordinary dark descendants and could not be compared with Aatrox at all!

It is precisely because he knows what Aatrox represents that Vladimir is so scared now - even his twisted body is trembling uncontrollably, unable to control himself.

Of course, this fear could not last forever. Shaking and trembling, Vladimir suddenly laughed out loud, and his laughter became crazier.

"Hehehahahahahahahahahaha!"

The desolate and violent laughter spread far and wide in the silent night. At this moment, the Scarlet Reaper completely abandoned his past elegance and calmness, as if he had returned to the time when he suddenly rose up to devour the Lord and regained freedom.

"What bullshit darkin!"

"What the hell Aatrox!"

"I'm no longer their slave!"

"Thought you could scare me with just a name!"

"Fuck you x darkin, fuck you x Aatrox!"

LeBlanc, who had never seen such a situation before, was shocked. She never dreamed that Vladimir would become like this just because of a name!

"Tell me, what kind of power does Yasuo have?" After a long time, Vladimir finally seemed to have returned to normal. "What did he do and what did he say? Tell me again. Don't miss anything.

!”

Elise was also frightened here - she originally planned to follow Yasuo's wishes and go to Vladimir for a gamble, but she met Thresh halfway, and under the bewitchment of the Soul Lock Warden, she finally

I chose to come back to LeBlanc.

As a result, he was pulled over by LeBlanc, and he went round and round to find Vladimir again.

Unfortunately, Elise had no choice at this time. She could only tell her entire experience on Shadow Island in as much detail as possible.

After finishing his story, Vladimir finally reached out and picked up the crystal cup in front of him and drank the scarlet liquid in one gulp.
Chapter completed!
