Chapter 130: Baron Nashor’s Deadly Venom

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Those who had played Vayne before understood one simple truth—From the moment you choose this champion, you have to be prepared for the enemies’ grave resentment, which was probably second only to that against the Swift Scout, Teemo.

How deep did the hatred for Teemo run, you ask? Read the following examples:

“Kayle has used her ultimate, switch target to Teemo and kill him. Well-played!”

“Morgana’s Black Shield is on. Alright, change the target to Teemo. Put him down. Nice!”

“Aatrox passive is triggered. Let’s switch to Teemo and finish him off. Great job guys!”

“Vayne has escaped with Final Hour. Ok, Teemo’s next. Wonderful! Well done bringing him down!”

“Teemo is trying to escape with Move Quick. Keep up the pursuit, we must hunt him down. Alright, nice kill!”

In the eyes of Team Liaoning’s players, Yu Luocheng’s Vayne was like a Vayne in Teemo’s hat. Their hatred against this champion had gone off the charts to the point that Nocturne had even given up on his dying targets (Elise and Thresh) and turned back to hunt Vayne.

Renekton jumped on Vayne like a madman as well while Orianna had also regained herself and charged forward instead of running away. The player who controlled Orianna seemed determined to slaughter Vayne in an attempt to avenge his earlier insult of missing an ulti on her.

Luckily, Yu Luocheng had first taken out Sona who carried the Oracle’s Elixir, otherwise, her invisibility during Final Hour would be rendered useless.

Vayne could have waded through this mess easily by kiting the enemy heroes one by one. After all, these three heroes did not have any handy hard CC skills. Even if she was being controlled, Yu Luocheng could easily dispel it with Quicksilver Sash. However, if she was trapped by three heroes simultaneously, it would be fortunate enough just to stay alive, let alone massacre the enemy.

Yu Luocheng guided Vayne to tumble sideways as she was pursuing Orianna. He had found a great position to finish Orianna off at first, but suddenly, he found that his champion was being sandwiched by both Renekton and Nocturne who had turned around unexpectedly.

“This Nocturne is insane, he’s ditched the two dying heroes and has decided to kill Vayne at all costs!” Xiao Bei yelled.

Under normal circumstances, Nocturne would take the two kills first, and only then, switch to the ADC. Surprisingly, he seemed as though he couldn’t care less and went straight toward Vayne, creating a triple-team situation.

“Renekton’s stun, Orianna’s 40% speed reduction, and the burst damage with Nocturne’s Horror is still available. This time, Vayne would not be able to escape!”

High risk, high return. Vayne’s living-on-the-edge style came with a huge risk to begin with. She would be completely helpless if the enemy decided to gank her all at once, much like what was happening at that very moment.

Of course Team Liaoning was careful in doing so. They understood very well that to completely deflate Team Shanghai, they only needed to kill one champion—Vayne.

Yu Luocheng had used his Flash earlier on and Condemn had also been used on Varus. His current escape options were only Cleanse, the Quicksilver Sash’s active, and invisible Tumble for one last time. It was highly unlikely for him to escape the enemies’ ambush this time.

‘If I can’t run, then I kill!’

Yu Luocheng immediately targeted Orianna, releasing all of Vayne’s bolts toward the Lady of Clockwork! This time however, Orianna did not back down. His opponents were desperate to kill Yu Luocheng’s Vayne no matter what.

With such strong determination, Orianna’s QW-combo finally found its target this time. Her terrifying damage instantly depleted 40% of Vayne’s HP.

Yu Luocheng’s Vayne had enhanced her magic defense which was being buffed up by the Quicksilver Sash, and yet, one QW-combo easily removed that much HP from her. This made it clear that the powerful Vayne was, at the same time, an extremely vulnerable ADC.

Cleanse!

With the speed reduction debuff removed, Yu Luocheng decisively controlled Vayne to release another three quick arrows on Orianna. Orianna’s HP was already low following Diana’s assault and she was on the brink of death after taking another three successive arrows from Vayne even with her Barrier on.

“Your champion is going to die if you don’t retreat now!” Zhang Aijing couldn’t help but remind Yu Luocheng.

Vayne’s performance in this match was like walking on a tightrope. One misstep would send her spiraling down into the abyss.

He Jin no longer knew how to describe his current state of mind. The last time he was this restless was when his wife was having difficult labor and had almost departed this life along with his child.

Yu Luocheng glanced at Thresh’s position and Orianna’s remaining HP.

‘Two more arrows and Orianna will be gone.’

However, Renekton was too close to Vayne and she only had enough time to release one more arrow.

‘One arrow... A critical strike please!’ Yu Luocheng prayed quietly that this last attack would be a critical strike, otherwise, Orianna would live with a remainder of 70 HP.

Phantom Dancer’s critical chance was 30%, and that was the probability this last shot had to bury Orianna.

‘I always go to the temple to burn the joss stick on the first day of the month 1 , so God, please be good to me and answer my prayer!’ Yu Luocheng pled sincerely in his mind.

The trigger clicked and the bolt flew straight toward Orianna.

Poof!!!

A string of red-colored numbers popped up and...

“F*ck, that didn’t kill her!” Yu Luocheng was pissed. He clicked his tongue and cursed.

‘No critical hit...’

Yu Luocheng did not have the time to release another arrow.

He swiftly guided Vayne to perform a sideways Tumble up the cliff where a dull greyish-green Soul Lantern was waiting for her. The Night Hunter looked at Orianna’s minimal HP grimly and grabbed the lantern. She then slid down reluctantly as if she was on a zip line, and a moment later, Vayne landed elegantly in front of Thresh.

“It’s Thresh’s Dark Passage!”

“What a nice team play. This is a commendable understanding and awareness between teammates. It would be perfect if Vayne could finish off Orianna earlier!” The commentator, Qi Qiao, was getting more and more animated.

Vayne was triple-teamed but had managed to escape with Thresh’s timely help. The calmness and composure displayed were very pleasing to the audience’s eyes.

Thwack!!!

Just as the audience was commending the team play, Vayne foolishly fired an arrow at Baron Nashor. The dozing Baron was awoken by the sudden arrow and immediately transformed into a furious serpent.

Thresh did not have much HP left and seeing that Vayne had woken the Baron up by accident, he quickly escaped the canyon as he swore on Yu Luocheng’s carelessness.

Vayne was assaulted by Baron too, but she agilely tumbled forward and fled away speedily from Baron’s attack range.

Seeing her amusing play, Qi Qiao laughed and spoke, “Vayne, oh Vayne... What a mistake to clumsily evoke Baron. Her HP was wasted for nothing...”

But she stopped talking mid-way because the next thing that happened on the big screen rendered her speechless!

Vayne had hastily moved away from the area after she had shocked the Baron Nashor from its sleep, and as the raging Baron lost sight of Vayne, it soon vented its anger on the next nearest target, Orianna!

Splash!!!

Baron Nashor directly spat a mouthful of venom toward the cliff, which splashed directly onto Orianna, who had been celebrating her close escape.

Her final drop of HP...

Orianna’s remaining HP had been taken away by the Baron!

The Lady of Clockwork shrieked miserably right before her body lost all its power and collapsed to the ground like a pile of lifeless mechanical parts.

Double Kill!

The death of Orianna, who was killed by Baron Nashor, was counted on Vayne. It was settled, Orianna had been killed by Vayne after all!!

The entire hall went silent upon seeing this.

Everyone in front of their TV and computers watching the live broadcast was equally stunned too. They had just witnessed a miracle unfold in front of their very own eyes!

Xiao Bei, Zhang Aijing, Liu Zhangming, He Jin, and Lin Dong, who had been standing behind Yu Luocheng, could not hold their jaws in place.

Oh my god!

Baron Nashor was programmed to attack the nearest champion when provoked, and the spot where Orianna happened to be had a ward planted by Thresh earlier.

In other words, Vayne had not woken the Baron by accident, Yu Luocheng had simply used the provoked Baron to finish the job that his Vayne couldn’t accomplish in time.

The problem was, how could a normal person think of such a method and execute it so calmly at that perilous moment?

‘Making use of the Baron’s attack... Is... is... is this guy even human?’
