I, Folyago, am the most devoted lover in Runeterra.

"bass!!"

Katrina lifted her leather coat, revealing dozens of sharp daggers and short knives hidden beneath.

Then she suddenly flung all the daggers and knives that Pi had hidden into the air.

Then, Katarina attacked Riven again.

Before the dagger in the sky hit the ground, Katarina's blade once again approached Riven's neck.

"bump!"

Riven neutralized Katarina's attack using almost the same method.

"It's weird!"

Riven felt a pang of anxiety. She knew that the enemy couldn't possibly be unaware that such an attack was futile.

Therefore, Katrina's attack must have had another purpose!

Perhaps the secret lies in those flying knives she just tossed into the sky.

Chapter 116, Glory is not everything

However, it would be unacceptable to let Katrina slip away after missing her target.

Riven still needs to seize the opportunity to fight back.

She leaped high into the air once more, and the azure light once more filled Riven's greatsword.

Riven replicated the same offensive strategy once again.

This time, there was still no panic in Katrina's eyes; instead, a hint of joy flashed across them.

"Fell into a trap!"

Katrina was secretly pleased, thinking to herself.

The next moment, Katrina, who was standing still, suddenly accelerated, moving so fast that she was like a blur.

He managed to dodge Riven's heavy attack once again.

"boom!"

The powerful attack failed again, and Riven realized something was wrong.

She had already guessed the secret to how Katrina was able to escape her attacks.

That must be a secret technique that can increase speed by a huge amount in a short time!

Years of battlefield experience have given Riven a beast-like sensitivity to instinct.

She vaguely sensed that she had likely walked into her enemies' encirclement. "Three, four, seven..."

.........

"bass!!"

At this moment, the daggers, gleaming with a cold light, finally fell to the ground.

Without any bias, dozens of daggers formed a perfect circle, surrounding Riven in the very center.

Meanwhile, Katrina was standing on a dagger, panting heavily.

Clearly, she was exhausted.

Riven was right; this ability, which seemed to allow for "teleportation," was indeed a secret technique of the Du Coca family.

Using this secret technique can bring a burst of movement speed increase in a short period of time, which looks like teleportation.

Since it is a secret technique, it cannot be used arbitrarily and without restraint.

The burden brought by the secret techniques was equally heavy.

After unleashing a series of secret techniques in a short period of time, Katrina's body was even trembling slightly.

But now it seems it was all worth it.

Katrina, standing at the edge of the encirclement of blades, took a deep breath and then suddenly raised her hands.

In an instant, dozens of throwing knives and daggers were suspended in the air, their blades gleaming with an ominous black color.

This move also comes from the Du Kekao family's secret sword-controlling technique!

"go with!"

With a shout from Katarina, dozens of throwing knives shot towards Riven in the center from all directions, leaving no blind spots.

Storm Blade!!

This is a unique technique that can only be used after the Du Kekao family has mastered the Art of Sword Control.

Katarina had just observed that although Riven's mysterious blue power could intercept her throwing knives, it could only intercept knives coming from one direction, that is, from a 180-degree angle.

There is no perfect power in the world, and she did not believe that Riven's power could completely defend 360 degrees without any blind spots.

This time, Katarina used herself as bait to lure Riven into the trap she had set.

Now, it's time to reap the rewards of victory.

If Riven hadn't stopped that attack and had died at Katarina's hands, then probably no one would have defended her.

He defied his superior and was killed on the spot during the challenge.

Such deeds would only become a negative example known to everyone in the empire.

But will Riven really fall so easily?

...........

Facing the storm's sharp blades coming from all directions.

Riven remained perfectly calm.

She had fought on the battlefield for many years, experiencing countless bloody battles and desperate fights.

Riven has faced dire situations several times, but she always managed to overcome her enemies and emerge victorious.

She admitted that the woman in front of her, Katrina, was not weak; with her secret techniques, she could even be considered a strong person among the Gold rank.

Unfortunately, she is probably stronger in this contest!

The numerous brushes with death that Raven faced gave him more than just an iron will.

And... a body of strength honed through countless trials!

"drink!!!"

Just as dozens of attacks were about to land on her, Riven suddenly roared to the sky.

Azure energy erupted in all directions with Riven's roar, and a fierce storm began to spread outwards with the sound waves.

Just as the dozens of sharp blades were about to strike Riven, they were blasted away by the raging storm accompanied by cyan energy.

........

Katarina gritted her teeth as she watched Riven neutralize her full-force attack, clenching her fists and feeling a sense of powerlessness.

The outcome is decided; there's no need to say more.

Katarina, who had already used the Instant Step technique multiple times, was now unable to use it again.

Once Riven gets close, only defeat awaits Katarina.

Even so, Katrina still had no intention of surrendering.

She would rather die than lose.

He was defeated in front of everyone.

As a member of the Du Coca family, her behavior is undoubtedly a disgrace to the family's honor.

With this defeat, she will have to fulfill the request she made to Riven.

That would mean slinking back to the Immortal Fortress and relaying Riven's request to the Imperial high command.

Rather than face such an outcome, Katrina would rather die.

Immediately, a resolute glint flashed in the girl's eyes, and she gripped the sharp dagger in her hand even tighter.

...........

After thwarting Katarina's attack, Riven took a deep breath.

She looked at Katrina across from her.

There's no need to continue fighting. Riven doesn't want to stain her hands with the blood of her compatriots in a duel...

But at this moment, all she saw in her opponent's eyes was a resolute will to die.

Clearly, Katrina on the other side had no intention of ending this battle, which was already decided.

Since that's the case, Riven had no choice but to take action.

After all, it wasn't just Katrina; in this all-or-nothing battle, she also had reasons not to lose.

"You are a respectable soldier."
