Monster Hunter in League of Legends
Chapter 29: Rengar's Trial
The tenth Alai of Ixtal, the Elemental Queen Qiana.
The most typical mechanic monster in League of Legends, as an assassin hero, possesses the ability to dash, burst damage, stealth, crowd control, and execute.
To achieve balance, the stats have been nerfed repeatedly, but in the hands of skilled players, the damage of level 2 is still incomprehensible, earning it the reputation of a level 2 kill.
Of course, no matter how powerful she is, it's all in the game. In reality... Qiyana is far from being an empress.
Thinking this, Tarin also recalled a lot of information about Qiyana.
Ixtal is extremely conservative and moderately xenophobic.
Although Ishtar's method of power transfer was not based on primogeniture, the earlier a child was listed in the primogeniture ranking, the greater their eligibility for inheritance and the more attention they received.
As the youngest child in the ruling family, Qiyana knew from a young age that she would never inherit the throne of Yuntar.
In this ancient kingdom that has existed for thousands of years, the way of education also follows the ancient and proud traditions of this closed nation.
Therefore, Qiyana's nine older sisters are all in a higher line of succession than her, and naturally receive more attention.
Thus, Qiyana began to search for her meaning in this family and this kingdom.
Later, Qiyana began to learn the Primal Axioms. Although Qiyana was only seven years old at the time, she mastered all the Primal Axioms, including the basics, as well as the related advanced techniques, in just a few weeks.
This talent is unparalleled in the world. Even though her sisters worked just as hard and had more resources, none of them could match Qiyana's talent.
Before long, Qiyana's sisters were all surpassed by her in terms of primordial axioms.
The more she progressed, the deeper her resentment grew. Because Qiyana couldn't understand why her parents were wasting their time on her older sisters who were considered inferior to her…
Similarly, it is incomprehensible why the powerful Ixtal, with its millennia-old heritage, would distance itself from the secular world, even turning a blind eye to the development of the Green Wall on the border by those who control large machines, and instead simply retreating...
Qiyana's radicalism was destined to remain a minority in a conservative city-state like Ixtal.
Therefore, Qiyana felt that she was often suppressed.
In order to rise to power, Qiyana herself resorted to any means necessary.
For example, Ixtal was able to remain hidden from the world entirely thanks to the large Primordial Axioms located in Ixoken, and every time her older sister was chosen to preside over this ceremony, Qiyana would angrily cause trouble, trying to prove her own worth. Eventually, the eldest daughter of the family could no longer tolerate her younger sister Qiyana's provocations and decided to initiate a fair duel.
As a result, Qiyana broke both of the eldest daughter's legs, rendering her completely unable to walk.
As a result, Qiyana was punished and sidelined...
For example, revealing a path allowed Mrs. Piltover to enter the Ixtal border and destroy villages, thus increasing nationalism within Ixtal…

Simply put, it's a magic pill.
Top-tier magic pill.
According to the ancient lord Skarner's lines in the game, Qiyana is plotting a rebellion... and everything Qiyana does is seen and remembered by Skarner.
Thinking this way, Tarlin wasn't too nervous.
After all, Skarner knew about it, but didn't do anything about it, which was itself an expression of his attitude.
Thinking this, Tarin glanced at Lupe and then said, "Don't worry, if it's Qiyana who comes, it might not be a bad thing."
"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Lu Pei looked puzzled.
Tallinn, however, said:
"From another perspective, if it were a well-regarded Alai or Yuntar who came, then in Ixtal today, the one in power would inevitably be the conservative and closed-minded Yuntar. This kind of conservatism would not easily believe in the importance of Void creatures, nor would it easily accept any axioms of life, or the new axioms in Milio."
Upon hearing this, Lu Pei seemed to realize something, and a hint of understanding appeared in his eyes.
Tarin continued, "Kiana is indeed not valued, but she will always be either Yuntar or Alai. She may not fit the current style of Ixtal, but so do we."
Tallinn looked at Lupe and said:
"You want to end the family's exile, and I want Ixtal to become a true part of Runeterra, resisting future calamities. The former can be achieved through the new axioms embodied in Milio, while the latter requires an ambitious supporter who is unwilling to accept the status quo. In essence, both require a leader with a different kind of determination."
"Content with mediocrity and conservatism, Yuntar cannot and dare not easily judge a completely new axiom, much less make the decision to guide Ixtal onto a path contrary to the past millennia. And Kiana Alai..."
After a pause, Tallinn stated bluntly, "It might cause some turmoil. But a stagnant pool won't breed any new changes—chaos is the ladder."
Hearing Tallinn's words, Lupe's lips trembled slightly, then he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "So it really is quite something. Chaos is a ladder... yes, it's like a ladder prepared for the ambitious."
"I'm more of an actor than an ambitious one." Upon hearing this, Tallinn waved his hand. "Just as power itself is neither right nor wrong. I simply want to weather future disasters peacefully; that has nothing to do with ambition."
Tarin didn't come to Runeterra to live a miserable life.
Even if Tarin wants to become stronger, it's only so that he can better enjoy life—to freely enjoy life, enjoy hunting, enjoy the local customs and culture of Runeterra, and do what he loves with the people he loves.
This allows skills such as the Angry Bead - Enhancement Continues, Stamina Bead - Stamina Boost, Concentration Bead - Acceleration Charge, Power Bead - Ammo Boost, and Shotgun Bead - Power Shot Boost to shine even when unarmed.
Don't worry about whether these shooting-enhancing decorations are actually useful for a katana user; they'll just be used on the Insect Glaive anyway.
Thinking this, Tarin didn't say much more, only saying, "Since Qiyana is coming, let's get ready... Hmm, I've almost finished eating, I'm going to go forge now, don't forget to call Milio to come and learn with me."
"As you wish." Seeing that Tarin had made up his mind, Lupe felt much more at ease, as if he had gained a little more confidence out of nowhere. He nodded and sent someone to call Milio to come and learn.
After eating, Tarin prepared two more bottles of recovery medicine to replenish the energy he had consumed the night before. Once he felt that his spirit had recovered, he began a new round of forging.
Although he's preparing to switch to the Long Sword, this doesn't mean Tarin will abandon other weapons. On the contrary, because the Odogaron Long Sword doesn't exist in Monster Hunter World, Tarin is now planning to craft all the Odogaron equipment to determine the different ecological characteristics of Odogaron materials under different forging methods.
While Tarin was forging, Nidalee learned how to use the Insect Glaive, while Milio observed with great interest the connection between life and fire in Tarin's hands.
Days passed as they waited for Qiyana's arrival, and everyone had their own things to do, like Rengar.
Three days after leaving Tallinn, Rengar swiftly traversed the dense forests and arrived at the southwestern border of Ixtal.
Ixtal is very large, occupying nearly a quarter of the entire continent of Shurima, almost the entire eastern part of Shurima. However, in reality, Ixtal only occupies about one-third of the entire eastern region.
The reason it is so large is mainly because Runeterra calls the entire eastern oasis Ixtal—the name of a city-state from thousands of years ago.
However, only a very few people know that this city-state still exists.
The flesh-toothed beasts possessed incredibly strong legs, but even so, crossing the entire Ixtal in three days was practically a pipe dream.
But Rengar also had Tarlin's sponsorship—not just the weapons he carried, but also some healing potions that Tarlin gave him when he left.
I glanced at the package; there was one bottle of the three recovery potions left.
This pained Rengar somewhat. After all, this kind of medicine, which could be directly converted into life energy to accelerate wound healing and physical recovery after consumption, was so effective that it was hard to bear using it.
However, considering that making these things was not difficult for Tarin, just a small matter of collecting some herbs, Rengar didn't care too much—he would help him hunt a few wild beasts as a way of repaying him later.
As Rengar pondered this, he also turned his gaze toward the flesh-toothed beast settlement not far away, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Admittedly, he hadn't been able to truly hunt down the Void monster named Kha'Zix, but compared to what he had gained, Rengar felt it was nothing.
"You are... Rengar?!" As they entered the tribe, a flesh-toothed beast noticed Rengar and exclaimed in surprise.
"It's me~" Rengar nodded toward the young flesh-toothed beast.
After receiving confirmation from Rengar, the meat-toothed beast's surprise didn't disappear; instead, it grew even more astonished: "How did you suddenly grow so tall? And become so strong! Not bad!"
Upon hearing this, Rengar's mind conjured up the image of Tarin, and he nodded, saying:
"I was lucky to meet a nice guy... Well, we'll talk about it later. I have some things to explain to my father."
Hearing Rengar's words, the young flesh-toothed beast nodded in understanding and then said, "Good luck."
Thank you.
Sensing the kindness of the young flesh-toothed beast, Rengar's eyes also showed a slight change of heart.
Although the Flesh-toothed Beast community reveres the strong, admires power, and worships strength, not all Flesh-toothed Beasts are pure beasts... In fact, quite the opposite, some Flesh-toothed Beasts maintain a considerable degree of goodwill towards Rengar.
The reason is simple: Rengar has made a name for himself over the past decade or so – a flesh-toothed beast hunter who is smaller and less muscular than other flesh-toothed beasts, but whose ferocity is several times that of ordinary flesh-toothed beasts.
For some reason, although the young flesh-toothed beasts welcomed his return, his father... and some of the older flesh-toothed beasts seemed to be against it.
Without thinking too deeply about it, Rengar simply touched his right eye without realizing it.
If I hadn't met Tarin, I would probably be in a terrible state right now... Not only did I fail to hunt Kha'Zix, but I even lost an eye.
When that time comes, how should I continue hunting as a hunter...?
After much deliberation, the only solution Rengar could think of was to compensate for his missing right eye with even more insane cruelty than before.
While pondering, Rengar also arrived at the tent of his father, Pongaff, who is now the lord of the Flesh-toothed Beast settlement.
"Father, I'm back."
Sitting inside the tent was a flesh-toothed beastman whose appearance resembled Rengar's, but was much older and more robust—the flesh-toothed beastman's prime was very long. Compared to humans, whose physical strength slowly declines after the age of thirty and then drops precipitously after forty, the flesh-toothed beastman's peak physical condition often lasts until between fifty and sixty years of age.
Upon seeing Rengar's return, Pongaff was slightly taken aback, especially after noticing Rengar's imposing stature. A hint of seriousness flashed in his eyes, and after scrutinizing Rengar for a moment, he said:
"You're back, so what? Where's your prey? Hand over that void monster's head and let the rest of the settlement see that I, Pangav's son, am not a useless piece of trash who can't even catch his prey!"
Upon hearing this, Rengar also felt a headache coming on, and then said, "Kha'Zix was killed by my comrade. I cannot take away his prey, but as a symbol, I brought back one of his claws and his teeth."
As he said this, Rengar took Kha'Zix's claws out of his backpack to prove to his father that Kha'Zix was indeed dead and that he had participated in the hunt.
Upon hearing Rengar's words, Pongaff raised an eyebrow, glanced at the mantis claw in Rengar's hand and Kha'Zix's teeth, and although he was certain that Rengar had indeed completed the hunt, Pongaff was clearly unconcerned.
As an abandoned child, Rengar's return made Poungaff feel a sense of crisis.
Thinking this, Pompidou aggressively pressed his body against Rengar.
"A companion?" Pongaff's eyes were filled with a cruel coldness. "This is your trial! I asked you to bring back Kha'Zix's head! And now you've only brought me a claw and a tooth!"
