Dawn at the Wild Rift (Book IV)

Chapter 35

"Ha?! Why the hell do we have to join their side?!" Sett is unsatisfied with the proposed plan of Katarina. He is all up and ready to fight whoever resides on the nearby continent.

"Like what I told you, even the whole Runeterra force is not enough to defeat that Black Dragon. Those warriors from that other continent do not have any plan to fight us," Katarina insists.

If only Talon is here to negotiate with him, it would have been easier since Sett trusts him more than she trusts her.

"Then, what is that magic over there?" Sett asks as he points at the overflowing magic of the Paxley clan.

"It's simply a barrier," Lux interjects. She is a well-known magic user from Demacia, a realm in Runeterra.

Her eyes, then, widen upon sensing another different type of magic coming towards them.

"Someone's approaching," she states. Everyone positions into their fighting stance, ready to spill blood on whoever comes forth.

After a minute, Princess Odette emerges. She is alone since she wants everyone to know that she means no harm.

"It seems that you have all prepared as well," she starts, "I am Princess Odette and I have come forward to ask for your cooperation."

"Rejected," Sett immediately replies. He holds his head high and raises an eyebrow at the princess. "Who knows what will you do when we put your trust in you?"

Princess Odette has already foreseen this kind of response so she came prepared. She throws her magic staff at him and Sett catches it.

"Hold that and if one single act of betrayal is enacted by my people, kill me," she states. "Though such a thing won't happen, I am still asking for your help to defeat the Black Dragon."

"We kidnapped one of your beloved warriors, it's too suspicious that you are not mad about it," Sett insists.

Gusion, Talon, and Hanzo appear, are glad that they get to cross paths with the important people before they'd clash against each other.

Sett raises an eyebrow upon seeing Talon having some bruises on the face. It is rather strange for him but he seems okay so he brushes off his speculations.

The Paxley assassin steps forward and nods at Katarina, acknowledging her presence.

"That warrior you are referring to is the spearhead of my squad. And let me tell you, Talon succeeded in his goal to lift the curse of your continent. But guess the consequence of that..."

Gusion gazes at Sett and Katarina.

"What?" Katarina asks. As far as she is concerned, there is no significant consequence of sacrificing the Scarlet ninja since it will only appease the anger of the Demon of Curse.

"Hey, Hanabi's ex, what do you call her sudden transformation again?"

Gusion turns to the direction of the Akuma ninja and Du Couteau assassin.

"Rakshesha," Hanzo and Talon reply in synch.

Gusion snorts at them. But he immediately straightens up and tells the others about the Rakshesha and the possible casualties she will cause them.

Sett could see that Talon has also sided with the warriors so he agrees to let his army join them. As Princess Odette explains to the others about the plan she made with Princess Silvanna, they all come to a stop when the light of the sun is covered.

Wid-eyed, they all gaze up at the huge size of a dragon that can even equate to the size of Magical City.

Yu Zhong is able to regain his whole power and it means huge trouble for both of the continents.
