Chapter 103 The battle between Yasuo and Riven!

The parliament hall, which had been as silent as a tomb, began to revive.

Armed warrior priests had sensed the commotion and rushed from all directions, entering the hall against the tide of people dodging dangerous magic.

And under the gaze of everyone,

Riven admitted her guilt.

but,

The audience watching this scene on the screen,
I had already vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

After witnessing the horrific death scene in the valley,
What's next,

After being betrayed, Riven can only recall fragments and nightmares.

She bandaged the wounds and held a moment of silence for the deceased.

But most of all, she came to hate the sword that had saved her life.

The inscription on the sword was a mockery of her, a constant reminder of what she had lost.

She's going to break it.

Before the dawn,
Sever your last connection with Noxus.

……

The broken sword was put into the scabbard.

The villagers who watched were still frightened.

Obviously, Riven successfully broke the rune sword!
But now it seems,
She seemed to have forgotten how the sword broke.

This cannot but remind us that
The broken sword fragment found in Elder Su Ma’s corpse.

"Riven, do you know what you are confessing to?"

The magistrate asked.

Riven nodded.

"Why did you do that?"

"I do not remember."

This was her only answer.

With her hands tied, Riven was unable to wipe away Mo Ran's tears and could only let them slide down her chin.

The judge stared at her intently, waiting for more truth to come to light, but after waiting in vain, she signaled to the court clerk.

They did not immediately announce Riven's trial.

"Riven, you will be imprisoned here until the formal verdict is announced at dawn tomorrow. During this period, anyone can make peace with you on personal grudges."

Riven stared at the shackles on her hands.

"I and the other two judges will search the law code and consult with the elders to impose an appropriate punishment for your crime."

……

"It seems that there is another hidden story behind Elder Su Ma's death!"

In the commentary booth, Jiang Wen guessed.

"Could it be that it wasn't Riven who killed him?"

The audience also talked a lot about this.

——"So how did Elder Suma die?"

——"I am getting more and more confused!"

——"Riven doesn't remember either?"

——"It seems that she suffered temporary amnesia due to the stimulation!"

Riven originally saw herself as a glorious warrior of Noxus.

But encountered shameless betrayal,

He also saw with his own eyes that his teammates and enemies were killed in the explosion of the alchemical potion.

Everyone can understand Riven's psychological state.
Seeing the horrible death scene in the valley,

I have also lost the faith and belief that I depend on for survival.

She considered herself a sinner.
Think she killed everyone.

Riven was alone in the meeting room late at night.
Waiting for the magistrate to judge her at dawn.

And what happened on that rainy night,
It will also be revealed on another night.

……

There was the sound of rustling footsteps in the darkness.

Riven opened her eyes.

"Daddy," she said.

"What are you doing here?"

It turned out to be the one who found Riven severely injured in the field.
The old man who adopted her into his home.

He took a bunch of tools and tried to unlock Riven's shackles.

Riven didn't push him away and let him go home.
Although her heart strongly urged her to stop the old man,

But her selfishness prevented her from being cruel.

If the old man is the last person to accompany her in this life,

Then Riven hopes that this moment can be prolonged as much as possible.

She just sat there in silence.

It wasn't until a few minutes later that she heard footsteps on the gravel outside the hall. "Dad. Quick. Hide. Someone's coming."

Riven's voice was sharp and urgent, and she brooked no refusal.

The old man quickly hid in the shadow of the corner.

Riven lowered her head again and assumed a sleeping posture.

She let her hair fall in front of her face and kept her eyes open.

A strong wind blew through the trees and around the doorposts of the hall.

In the light of a beam of moonlight, a figure stood at the door.

The audience recognized it instantly!

It's Yasuo!
……

Yasuo's footsteps made no sound on the stone ground.

When he was about a sword's length away from Riven, he stopped.

Then he pulled out a leather scabbard from his back, with crude runes engraved on it.

He threw the scabbard at Riven's feet with a clatter.

"Which one is heavier, Riven?"

Yasuo asked. "Is it your sword or your past?"

Obviously he knew Riven wasn't asleep, so Riven stopped pretending.

"Who are you?" she asked.

“Another broken sword,” Yasuo replied.

"You are prepared to plead guilty. I admire you for that."

Riven saw a brief flash of emotion cross his face.

"There is a secret behind your sword," he continued. "Do you know the truth?"

"I killed him. He died because of me. They all... were done by me," Riven continued.

She didn't know if she could take on any more grief.

"Raise your sword."

Riven sat there motionless.

"Stand up, there is no escape for you!"

Yasuo let out an angry growl.

His voice could not be refused.

A whirlwind began to roll through the hall, pushing aside the benches and pushing Riven to her feet.

Combat instinct and muscle memory guided Riven's arms.

When she faced Yasuo,
The sheathed greatsword was already in her hand.

"I begged him to break it," she said.

"Really?" Yasuo's voice was full of sarcasm.

His doubts stung her, deep into the marrow of her memories.

She shuddered, vaguely remembering the scene.

Elder Suma's voice was calm and peaceful.

The atmosphere in his meditation room was heavy, carrying the weight of thoughts and incense.

Elder Suma did not judge her or her burden.

Riven looked at the stranger in front of her, and a sharp pain surged in her heart, flowing through her body until her hands held the sword. She grasped the hilt tightly and pulled the rune blade from the scabbard.

"Why are you here?" Riven asked.

The broken blade carried a rough energy.

The dazzling light cast mottled shadows on the wall.

"I know you want to die." The person on the other side said with a smile.

The ghosts that had been haunting her now came out in force, and Riven slashed at them wildly. The man's blade blocked her sorrow and rage. This made her even more angry, bringing her back to the present. The two began a sword dance. Every block and thrust was accompanied by a roar and explosion of air.

"I am here to kill the murderer of my master."

Yasuo gritted his teeth and gasped. "I'm here to take your life."

Riven laughed, tears welling up in her eyes. "Do it."

The Wind Warriors lowered their swords and began to manipulate the whirlwind around them.

The magic uttered a fiery note, and the man focused his energy onto the runed greatsword.

The Noxian magic on the weapon began to tremble, and the broken sword body dispersed in an instant, and the small piece of fragment at the top also broke free.

The energy collapsed, and the small fragment broke out and flew towards the direction where the old man was hiding in the shadow. The bullet of death was about to shoot into the old man's throat.

Riven smelled the spicy memory with the smell of incense again, the strong smell was the meditation room of Elder Suma.

“No!” she yelled.

Riven dropped her blade, helpless as tragedy repeated itself.

Just as the blade was about to pierce the old man's weather-beaten skin, it stopped and was bound in the air by a wall of wind.

Yasuo breathed a sigh of relief.

The small piece of iron on Riven's shattering blade fell straight onto the stone ground.
