Glory [e-sports]

Chapter 229: It turned out that the soul warlock could even be used like this!

How much others knew or didn’t know wasn’t important. In any case, Brother Cai had been smacked in the face with this display and almost couldn’t sit still!

Li Chun: “Double nine light arcs, so cool!”

Bai Cai: “……”

Li Chun: “Close and Quiet are too strong!”

Brother Cai, who’d been choked to the point he wanted to roll his eyes, calmed himself down. “They are quite strong.”

Li Chun: “It’s so romantic…”

These words almost scared Brother Cai into hiding under the chair. “Ro-roman… what…” Tch, tch!

Li Chun said longingly, “The shadow thief is really the epitome of a man’s romance!”

Brother Cai: “………………”

I’m about to be scared to death by your exaggerated speech!

The shadow thief was indeed a man’s romance, and the light arcs had romantic appeal to all Glory players. At this moment, the two people in the arena were showing them double the romance.

Too cool.

Super explosive.

Both the live audience and the fans in the live broadcast studio were excited.

In a 2v2, all four players toppled.

The two shadow thieves both took a double kill. No one won or lost, but they showed the world an unprecedentedly wonderful scene.

Not to mention the audience, even their teammates shifted their minimaps one after another and stared at the scene for a long time.

The two girls in Group A didn’t pay attention to God Kim’s existence at all and didn’t even bother with clearing their lanes. They inhaled sharply, and if it weren’t for the fact that their teleportation skills were on cooldown, they would have flown over to take a group photo!

In fact, they wanted to run over now. It would be great to just look at the bodies.

And then……

Kim Sung-hyun stepped on raindrops and sent off the girls, helping them save on ‘travel expenses.’

In the mid-lane, Little Fatty couldn’t escape God Xie’s direct punch to the head, either. He shouted as he died and went back to the fountain, “So amazing, so amazing, too amazing.”

It was fortunate that he hadn’t said he was good at the shadow thief. With this level of extreme operations in play, he didn’t even deserve to mention the two words ‘shadow thief’.

In the 5v5 canyon, only Xie He and Kim Sung-hyun were left alive. One of them took down the other side’s mid-lane first tower, and the other took down their opponent’s bottom lane outer tower.

At first glance, it seemed that Group B, who’d lost their mid-lane tower, suffered more losses. However, looking at the farm situation, where Kim Sung-hyun had quietly accumulated a lot of farm, it became clear that Group A was in a dangerous situation.

In the late stages, when Daddy Kim really stood up, then Lu Feng and Yuan Ze would have to take him down in a 2v1 trade. Otherwise, who else would be able to stop him?

Once Lu Feng and Yuan Ze died to take him down, then Group A would be done for. No matter how amazing God Xie was, it would still be difficult for him to provide support on his own.

Wei Xiao, Gary, and Yan Jiang. These three could ensure that he died in a way that made things very clear.

Of course, the game wasn’t over yet, and it was too early to jump to any conclusions.

After this wave of 2v2, Lu Feng completely took over as the jungler while simultaneously eating up his top-lane farm. There was nothing Yuan Ze could do but to follow along to try and get a bit of farm for himself.

The high and lofty number one top-laner in the Temple of Glory had fallen to this point. It was really…

Greatly enjoyed by the audience!

Yeah.

There weren’t many who shed tears for him. Instead, many waved flags and shouted cheers.

Scum Man Yuan’s fans were all outstanding in this sense!

Just as Kim Sung-hyun had thought when the groups were formed, he was doomed to be an orphan left to his own devices with Wei Xiao in the group.

He was a good and proper big treasure, a rare immortal ADC in the world, but he’d fallen into a pitiful situation where no one cared about him.

The two girls across from him had jungler kings filling their hearts. They didn’t care how many lane soldiers they lost, how many times they died, or even how they’d almost lost all their towers.

His own mid-laner had been bitten to death by Xie He, and Xie He was too lazy to bother moving to the bottom lane to mess with him. How could he expect the Little Fatty to come provide support in the bottom lane?

As for his support.

Ha-ha.

That support had been surnamed Wei right from the beginning and had nothing to do with Kim Sung-hyun!

It wasn’t a big deal to be left alone like an orphan. God Kim could remain dormant in the bottom lane, waiting until his farm dominated the entire canyon. When that happened, he would teach them how to act human with his rain arrows.

However…

Lu Feng started coming over to gank him.

After completely controlling the team rhythm, Lu Feng’s first target was Kim Sung-hyun.

Gary had been suppressed until he didn’t have any fight left in him by Lu Feng and had transformed into a frightened bird a long time ago. It would be difficult for him to stand out again.

On the other hand, Kim Sung-hyun had developed pretty well in the bottom lane. He showed indicators of being able to take over the game.

Could that be allowed?

If they didn’t send some care over, then how could they face Proud Flower Kim, who’d raised himself up to be so rich and fat?

His farm was even higher than Close’s.

What was the best way to suppress someone’s farm?

Sending them back to the fountain.

Kim Sung-hyun once again experienced the sense of terror that he hadn’t felt in a long time.

The fear of being dominated by the shadow thief and death knight!

In fact, in the early days in the Team of Gods Kim Sung-hyun had rarely met jungler players who could make him concerned. However, he hated all thieves.

Why?

If he said it out loud, then the proud flower would be shamed to death.

But the truth was…

In the history of FTW’s solo matches, Kim Sung-hyun’s win rate against Lu Feng was only 20%!

In other words, out of ten rounds of solo between the two of them, Kim Sung-hyun had lost eight times!

What kind of concept was this?

Later on, Old Dog Yuan had sent this ‘report card’ back to South Korea. When Li Heran saw it, he’d asked, “In a bad state of muscle strain?”

Kim Sung-hyun: “……………………”

He hadn’t strained any muscles and didn’t have any occupational diseases. He was healthy and steady. It was just that he was crappy and couldn’t beat the other side!

This was why Kim Sung-hyun had to beat up all the thieves he came across.

Getting abused by his younger brother was too miserable, and his anger grew every time he saw a thief.

He couldn’t beat Lulu, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t beat the other thieves!

That was what Proud Flower Kim thought.

These days, things were great.

However, watching without blinking as the shadow thief rushed in under the tower, Kim Sung-hyun felt aggrieved to death!

Killing him was alright, dying was alright, but could they not bully people like this?

Did they have to go under the tower to kill him?

Was it fair to leave the tower again with full health?

And killing him three times in a row, were they still acting reasonable?!

It really was unreasonable.

Lu Feng could easily kill the storm hunter on his own, let alone when he had a death knight who’d become a support player beside him.

Although Yuan Ze’s equipment was no good and his DPS was bad, he had the talent advantage and messing with Proud Flower Kim was just a matter of moving his fingers.

Kim Sung-hyun: “……”

Wei Xiao: “How about…”

Even before he could euphemistically suggest that Captain Yan could go and protect God Kim, Yan Jiang had already spoken up, “Come to the mid-lane.”

Wei Xiao had noticed it too. Little Fatty had been chased under the tower by Xie He and was about to be done for once again.

The shadow thief landed, and the soul warlock that was attached to him sent out a soul blade. Xie He’s skill was interrupted, and Little Fatty was able to escape with a sliver of health left.

Wei Xiao had targeted Xie He often in this game, but Xie He was really hard to gank.

He was an absolute opportunist. He was silent, dared to fight, and was also able to retreat smoothly.

These contradictory characteristics mixed together to create the world’s top and most difficult to deal with mid-laner mage king.

He could cut into a crowd of people and take away the other side’s c-position, then retreat to preserve his life while maximizing his own DPS.

If you wanted to gank Xie He, first take a look at his KDA (kill rate, death rate, and assist rate)!

So, Wei Xiao hadn’t been able to catch him often during this game, but Xie He had made a mistake just now.

In fact, it couldn’t be called a mistake. At most, it was a rash attack. However, Yan Jiang had caught onto this moment, and Wei Xiao didn’t have time to worry about God Kim anymore. He used a combo and leapt at Xie He, like a wolf who’d just caught sight of a little white rabbit. He was exceptionally fierce and each attack he made was fatal.

Xie He: “……”

Wei Xiao sighed, “I finally got to kill God Xie once.”

The scrolling comments: “It’s coming, it’s coming, his enraged buff is now activated!”

“Little Lunatic Wei is really daring, he even went to anger a lion!”

“How exciting, how exciting! God Xie’s finally going to get serious.”

“Oh hey, this is where it gets interesting. I want to see God Xie show off with the void mage!”

The new mage talent was called the void mage. It was a Cthulhu-style dark mage, and his figure wasn’t that of a monster, but that of a slender man. He was a little thin due to the darkness surrounding him, and there was an ominous paleness to his skin. The most frightening thing was the totem behind him––

The evil god’s face was fierce and terrible, while the shadow of Cthulhu’s hands were graceful. It was difficult to distinguish whether it was the void controlling Cthulhu’s hand or whether his hand was wrapped around the void.

His skills were also very crafty, clearly intended to be flashy and powerful.

His first skill, Void Shadow, allowed him to instantly flash behind the opponent and imprison the enemy for one second.

The second skill, Nightmare Prison, would control the enemy within its range. The demons in the depths of the void would distort spacing causing skills to be released backwards.

The third skill was another powerful movement skill, Void Displacement, which would directly replace the entire confined space within a specified target. This could be used on the enemy or the player himself.

The ultimate move provided a space for operations. Void incarnation would activate all marked targets and deal damage according to the number of stacked marks.

This mechanism was similar to the immortal warlock’s thousand layers of clouds and the shadow thief’s light arcs. The extent to which this could be used depended on the player’s level.

Xie He had been playing against Little Fatty earlier and hadn’t needed to get serious at all. He could send the other side back home just by playing normally.

Now that he was up against Wei Xiao and Yan Jiang, and it was a one against two fight, he’d started to grow more serious!

When Wei Xiao went to ambush the mid-lane a second time, Xie He seemed to already have vision. Nightmare Prison fell from the sky, aiming right at Wei Xiao.

Wei Xiao was a little caught off guard, but he dodged aside easily.

Xie He’s following moves made the entire audience suck in a breath of surprise.

The nightmare prison distorted space, and the void displacement that reversed skills actually landed right on Wei Xiao’s head!

A black hole fell from the sky, revealing the shadow thief who’d been stealthed. Countless vines appeared, the special effects gloomy and terrible. It was as though the shadow thief had been beaten into the abyss of hell.

Wei Xiao had been controlled. There was a chance for Xie He to turn the tables and kill him!

The soul warlock released the attachment in that spark of a moment, giving out a heal and a shield and lifting up Wei Xiao’s health, which had fallen all the way to the bottom of the canyon.

Being attached meant that the soul warlock would use the shadow thief’s skills, but the shadow thief itself didn’t have any support skills.

However, the soul warlock itself had skills. It was just that the timing for using it after releasing the attachment was very important. It had to be accurate, and they had to react quickly enough.

Yan Jiang could naturally achieve this.

Yan Jiang: “Go.”

Wei Xiao: “‘Kay.”

The shadow thief, who had recovered a third of his health, rushed up. Because he didn’t have enough marks stacked up and his skills had been interrupted, Wei Xiao could only stack up seven arcs.

Xie He didn’t pause at all. He opened up Void Shadow and quickly pulled away from Wei Xiao.

The commentator: “This positioning is good. It should be far enough away from the core range of the seven light arcs.”

“He can hold up! It should only leave him seriously injured and not killed!”

“God Xie still has flash. Is he trying to guard against Wei Xiao’s next wave of attacks, or is he planning to use it to fight back during the cooldown period when the shadow thief has no available skills?”

“It would be better to run for his life. The soul warlock has the ability to deal DPS too…”

It came as a huge surprise to everyone––

System Announcement: FTW.Quiet killed EVE.Xiehe!

Wei Xiao killed Xie He!

What seven light arcs? He’d actually brushed out nine light arcs!

He clearly hadn’t stacked up enough marks, and his skill had clearly been interrupted. It clearly wasn’t enough for nine light arcs, but… he’d brushed it out!

The expanded range and increased damage killed the void mage.

Not only were the onlookers stunned, even Wei Xiao was stunned. “Captain Yan……”

The others might not know, but he was the clearest about what had happened. It turned out that the soul warlock could even be used like this!

He didn’t have enough marks, so Yan Jiang had compensated for him; his skills had been interrupted, but Yan Jiang could help him connect them again.

His nine light arcs had been brushed out with the soul warlock’s support!

Wei Xiao sucked in a breath, and the first words out of his mouth were, “If you use the soul warlock and attach to my captain, won’t there be ten light arcs in 5v5!”

Yan Jiang: “You can do it too.”

Wei Xiao: “!”
