Chapter 407: The Slayer and His Prey

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Speeding to the middle lane, Luocheng could not help but feel a burst of excitement. Each of these champions’ heads were like real-world cash to him.

In the midst of the fight, the situation was so chaotic that no one could differentiate who was friend or foe. Under these circumstances, if the mage-type assassin champion rushed up and tried to slay his enemy, he might actually be exposing himself to the risk of being slain instead. Kassadin, after all, had a long cooldown phase for his skills, and during that time, there would be no other active skills that he could use.

After picking his target, Luocheng quickly rushed toward the opponents’ Jungler, Vi!

The opponents’ ADC had been unable to pick a stable position to protect himself during this chaos, but Luocheng had no interest in taking him out at all. Besides, Da Luo’s Dr. Mundo was already clashing with Lucian, the Purifier. There was no need for Luocheng to waste his DPS on him.

Luocheng had been dashing all the way from the bottom lane with his Riftwalk, and this meant that his attack now had been stacked to the fullest!

It was quite easy for anyone to forget this seemingly unimpressive Ultimate skill.

This skill could stack his damage up to four times and he could use it right after the cooldown was over, only needing to use around 100 Mana in exchange for the additional DPS!

Luocheng’s equipment could not grant him a lot of Magic Damage at the moment. In fact, he had not been buying any equipment that could grant him Magic Damage at all, only using his Boots of Speed until this moment, unwilling to trade them away. All this was so that he could acquire his Zhonya’s Hourglass as quickly as he could.

Seeing that her health was about to be completely depleted, Vi quickly fled.

Luocheng let out a cold smirk.

Oh, did I say you could leave!?

Without wasting a moment, he quickly pressed his R-key again. Riftwalk!

In an instant, Kassadin leapt into the unknown and then reappeared again 700 yards away, landing right on Vi’s face!

This blink was quite powerful and Vi’s HP was now only a few drops away from being emptied.

Force Pulse!

Wielding his Nether Blade, a powerful violet energy slashed through Vi’s body!

The moment she had been hit by Kassadin’s Riftwalk, Vi had quickly Flashed away, but despite how quick her response was, Luocheng was quicker! Right after slashing out his Force Pulse, he had sent out his Null Sphere as well. Even though Vi had tried to blink away from Kassadin, the latter’s Null Sphere had still been able to take away her last drop of remaining health!

The moment Vi was slain, Luocheng could feel a surge of comfort in his body!

That’s the payback for your Flash, Vault Breaker, and Assault and Battery, you b*tch!

After that, Luocheng quickly sent his Kassadin straight into the team fight that was happening not far away.

The opponents were apparently well trained. Upon seeing that this had gone awry, they quickly retreated neatly backward.

Of course, Luocheng was not going to allow them to escape. As he rushed to the frontline, the cooldown for his Null Sphere and Force Pulse were over, and in a giant leap, Kassadin landed in the middle of his foes.

Bam!

A Force Pulse and Null Sphere quickly disrupted their movement!

“Great move!”

Zhou Yan’s Olaf let out a battle cry before tossing his gigantic axe at the enemies.

Dr. Mundo, after evading a round of attacks, quickly dashed onward to continue pursuing his foes.

All three of their opponents still had their skills ready to use, and right after Kassadin had leapt to their side, they quickly unleashed all of their skills at him!

Now was Luocheng’s chance!

Zhonya’s Hourglass!

Thanks to his timely actions, every single one of their attacks had now missed their target! Not only that, now that they had stopped to attack Luocheng, they had missed their chance to retreat!

After activating his Zhonya’s, Luocheng stood still in the middle of the opponent crowd, needing to wait until his teammates arrived so that he could continue on with his killing spree.

Suddenly, a mist of blood appeared at their rear and excruciating cries could be heard from behind!

It was Zed!

D*mn it! He was quick!

A good support was all about one’s instinct. If you felt that there was something off, you ought to head straight to the area where your gut told you to. If you waited until the fight had started, it would be too late. This Number One... he had good instincts.

Zed’s slaying abilities were immensely horrifying, and as Luocheng’s Zhonya’s was activated, he could see his teammates being shrouded in blood vapours while Zed’s Razor Shuriken spun in the sky!

In just a few seconds, Lin Dong’s Sivir had been slain.

All that Luocheng could do at the moment was just frown and watch.

Sivir was slain by a set of Zed’s offensive skills and Ignite. He was swift in his Shadow Slash the moment he reached the rear of his enemies, shortening his Living Shadows’ cooldown time by 6 seconds! Thus, his Living Shadows could soon be activated again.

Sure enough, in a matter of seconds, Zed had quickly blinked and switched sides with his Shadow, dropping yet another Shadow in front of Wu Sen’s Taric.

With the combined strength of Zed and his Shadow, Number One was able to cut open Taric’s throat and kill him as well!

“Double Kill!!”

A Double Kill. That was a Double Kill!

Then, in just 2 seconds, Zed was able to escape from Olaf and Dr. Mundo with all of his HP still intact. His entire performance had been so slick and clean, it was practically a work of art!

Everyone in the Demacia Cafe was in awe as they saw this. They knew Zed’s skills were quite fascinating to watch, however, there were many of them who had played as Zed before, but they still did not know how to fully utilize Zed’s Living Shadow. All they could see earlier was a crimson silhouette dashing straight into Team Skycrown’s formation, and then, blood vapours had suddenly burst out before several Shadows appeared out of thin air! Then, the crimson Zed had quickly zipped around via his Shadows!

Some had observed that Number One’s Zed had switched places with his Shadows a total of 4 times, sending their jaws rolling on the floor.

“You two. Split up and retreat.” Luocheng ordered Da Luo and Zhou Yan calmly.

Zhou Yan and Da Luo did not have much health left, and worst of all, Zed still had not used his Blade of the Ruined King yet. In other words, Zed had the ability to slay another prey. If Da Luo and Zhou Yan fled together, the both of them could be hunted down and slain at once!

This would mean that Zed would have bagged 4 kills in one go!

Without hesitating, Zhou Yan and Da Luo turned and fled in different directions.

As expected, after evading a few attacks that were sent his way, Number One quickly pursued Zhou Yan’s Olaf.

Zhou Yan calmly retreated to the streams as he tossed his True Ice Axe at his pursuer to slow him down.

That lasted for about 10 seconds. After all, it was quite difficult to shake Zed away when he now owned a pair of Boots of Mobility. Zhou Yan needed to make sure his next Undertow hit his target.

And so, Olaf quickly cast another Undertow at Zed.

In the meantime, Zed quickly sent a Shadow onward, and the moment Olaf’s axe almost hit Zed, his body quickly switched sides with his Shadow, evading the Undertow!

D*mn it. Seeing that the Blade of the Ruined King was now used on him, Zhou Yan knew that he was good as dead. Therefore, he did nothing and just stood there, embracing his fate.

“Oh man, this is so cool! Using his Living Shadow to dodge the Undertow and then taking out Olaf. That’s our Number One! Only he can give us this blood-pumping performance!” Miracle exclaimed in amazement.

“Yeah. Even though he arrived late, Zed was able to kill 3 champions. Now, Team Skycrown is basically doomed!” Jojo was excited too.

Number One’s skills were really impressive. All that the viewers had seen were Shadows flying about on the field, and then, two champions were slain in a flash. Next, he had quickly pursued another champion and skillfully switched sides with his Shadow to evade the oncoming Undertow. And then, just like that, Olaf was slain!

Luocheng was now in danger.

He had jumped to his foes’ side, stalling them from escaping and then activating his Zhonya’s to bait their skills from them while waiting for his teammates. Yet, he had not expected Zed to completely wreck his teammates like this. After Zhonya’s effect was gone, there was no way he could take on three champions alone.

All that he could do now was to quickly escape while activating his Seraph’s Embrace.

The moment his Riftwalk was done with its cooldown, Luocheng leapt into the corner and then quickly cast his Force Pulse and Null Sphere combo while sending another Ignite on its way, all targeted at the enemies’ Support.

By doing so, he had managed to stall Leona and then flee via the high ground.

Rengar and Lucian were still pursuing Kassadin. Luocheng did not dare to look back.

1!

Leona, the Radiant Dawn’s health, was depleted to zero by Luocheng’s Ignite, killing her.

“Oh, that was quite good. With precise calculation, Team Beijing’s Support is now slain, Rengar and Lucian won’t be able to catch up to Kassadin now.”

Two enemies slain, but at what cost? Three allies. If Luocheng had not cast out that Ignite earlier, things could have been much worse, though.

Even though Luocheng had slain two opponents, Zed had taken three lives on his side. There was no way Luocheng’s Kassadin could win against Zed who now had better equipment.

“This was a total loss.” Shaking his head, Luocheng safely teleported back to their homebase.

“Yeah, this mofo was so quick!” Lin Dong responded furiously.

Lin Dong had seen Zed reaching the streams. He had thought that it would still take some time before Zed reached them and yet, seconds later, Zed had arrived with his ferocious strikes. Lin Dong had been completely unable to react before he was slain.

“He must have blinked forward using Flash.” Luocheng answered.

With so many obstacles blocking his path, Zed could not have reached his destination so fast without using his Flash.

“This match is going to be a tough ride.” Da Luo said.

Zed was now literally unstoppable. In just a few strikes, Lin Dong was struck dead, and Lin Dong’s champion was Sivir! With Sivir’s Spell Shield, Zed should not have been able to take her down that quickly. If Zed was not the ADC, all four of the other opponents should not have been able to take her down at all!

“My DPS is too low. I need to get myself better equipment.” Luocheng said.

An Archangel’s Staff and Zhonya’s Hourglass were only enough to keep Kassadin alive, they could not aid him much in terms of offensive damage.

Now, it was difficult for him to decide what equipment to acquire next. Should he get a Rabadon’s Deathcap? Or should he get a Void Staff...

This was the same as the dilemma of choosing between Tsing Hua or Beijing University after high school. Nevertheless, when you grew older, you would realize that this was not that big of a deal.

Looking at his Boots of Speed, Luocheng realized that it was too early for him to get a Rabadon’s Deathcap and Void Staff.

His problem now was the same from before, being that he lacked gold! If his DPS was higher, he could have taken out Lucian as well! With that, he could not only make it even in terms of kill-count, he could also get himself better items!
