Novel Bin Chapter 375 - The Epitome of a Bastard!
Chapter 375: The Epitome of a Bastard!
An enemy ward was suddenly the epicenter of a blood-red whirlwind, one more second and an immovable Nasus would descend from the heavens, spelling the end of Team Skycrown!
Luocheng didn’t panic, instead, focusing on his positioning and dealing damage.
Wu Sen and Luocheng’s ADC flanked the enemy team from both sides, with Zhou Yan still tanking the enemy Xin Zhao in front. Sona still didn’t really know what to do, waddling helplessly behind Luocheng and occasionally auto attacking Xin Zhao, unsure whether or not to use her ultimate skill.
“It’s over, Nasus is here.” Xu Ben had to advert his eyes.
But suddenly, the crimson whirlwind dissipated.
Nasus would have blocked off Team Skycrown’s only escape route, but for whatever reason, the teleport didn’t go through!
A smile crossed Luocheng’s face, and he said to Xiao Ya, “Rush up to the front and use your ultimate, then come back and hide behind me.”
Sona gained a movement speed buff and without any further ado, she charged toward the enemy team under the guidance of Luocheng, aiming her ultimate toward the enemy ADC and Mid.
The enemy Mid tried to dodge but his efforts were futile, getting caught by the edge of the ultimate, and Graves still didn’t have his flash up, causing him to be struck by the attack head-on.
Zhou Yan turned to fight while Luocheng maintained his footing while still dealing damage damage, a flurry of abilities flying toward the enemy backline, leaving them with only a sliver of health in no time flat.
“What the hell, Nasus didn’t teleport!?”
Xu Ben and K were stunned. They had been completely surrounded, how had they turned the battle around, and what about Nasus?
“Look!” K saw something as he looked over to Da Luo’s screen.
Xu Ben glanced over as well just in time to see Da Luo’s Malphite retreating from under the enemy turret, a wild Nasus hot on his tail!
The two of them weren’t idiots either, and they immediately understood what had happened, their faces full of glee!
It was Malphite! Malphite had used his ultimate skill to stop Nasus from completing his Teleport!
Looking at Da Luo’s Summoner Spells, it seemed that Da Luo had Flashed toward Nasus and then used his Unstoppable Force to knock up the latter as he had been channeling under the tower!
That was the key turning point of the battle, for if Nasus had successfully teleported, Da Luo’s teammates were finished!
“D*mn, Flashing under the tower, using his ulti to disrupt a Teleport… if only our Top had this sort of intuition!” K and Xu Ben were ecstatic.
This level of synergy and cooperation! Usually when in games with randoms, when other people were teleporting in, the other laners would just stand and stare, maybe if they had a few brain cells left they would ping their teammates, warning them to back away, but you couldn’t exactly retreat from a raging team fight now, can you!?
And then there were people like Da Luo who had noticed the enemy Nasus suddenly go under the tower and immediately ignoring his huge wave of minions, had then Flashed over to knock Nasus up with an ultimate skill, all to keep the latter from teleporting!
This was the sort of sense, the sort of cooperation, that every team needed. Who, under normal circumstances, would assume that a Nasus backing away meant that he was going to teleport!?
Most importantly, Team Skycrown had managed to maintain their team’s positioning even when faced with a teleporting Nasus. It was as if they had known the Nasus’s Teleport would be disrupted, how much trust would you need to have to be able to power through such a situation?
A 4 vs 4, and all of them survived the fight except for ZhouYan who had sacrificed himself for the team.
Luocheng had successfully killed Graves while Xiao Ya had accidentally stolen the kill of the Xin Zhao who had come in too deep. Wu Sen took care of Leona on his part, leaving only the enemy APC to run with his tail between his legs.
Winning the team fight, pushing down the bottom turret, taking the Dragon, and subsequently pushing their team’s economy to new heights.
Xiao Ya was over the moon. Somehow, she had lived through the team fight, dealing a lot of damage to Xin Zhao as well, now, if only she hadn’t stolen Luocheng’s kill, then everything would’ve been perfect!
That ultimate just now, when she had stopped the enemy ADC and APC right in their tracks, had actually contributed something for once!
Hearing Luocheng and Lin Dong compliment her on her ultimate skill, Xiao Ya grew even more confident.
***
“I have a lot of gold now, I’m supposed to buy this, right?” Xiao Ya asked Luocheng as they returned to base.
“Yup, that’s the one.” Luocheng nodded.
“I’ll buy a ward or too, I shouldn’t be leaving all the warding to you,” Xiao Ya said a tad bashfully.
Xiao Ya used her remaining gold to buy a few wards.
Luocheng was in charge of warding, but no matter how bad the enemy team was in a competition, they wouldn’t be able to win without good warding. Zhou Yan contributed to most of their team’s wards, and so, Luocheng mainly warded to ensure his own safety. With his speed-boosting ultimate and E-skill, Spell Shield, he generally had no fear of getting caught, and worst comes to worst, he would just have Xiao Ya to act as his noble sacrifice.
Xiao Ya continued on to the bottom lane, and upon seeing Luocheng farming the minion wave that had just pushed in, she made her way to the tribush to place a ward.
Just as she got to the bush, she came face-to-face with Graves who seemed to have just finished clearing the Kruggs camp.
Xiao Ya got the shock of her life and immediately turned to run away.
Qinjin, on the other hand, was filled with a murderous sense of glee. Women wouldl be women, stupid and incompetent, coming over to ward like that, she was basically feeding a kill right into his mouth!
“Monkey, hold the f*cking Sivir back, I’ll kill Sona!” Qinjin shouted.
It was time for their comeback, and this Sona was worth about 400 gold. Qinjin’s creep score was relatively decent but he lacked kills. Give him a couple of kills and he would be able to take advantage of the girl’s misplays during the late game team fights, for example, right now!
Scrawny Monkey knew that this was a good opportunity for Qinjin to get some kills, and since it so happened that he was in the lane, he rushed forward to stop Sivir from providing any backup.
Using his Exhaust and chaining his crowd control skills onto the Sivir, Scrawny Monkey stopped at nothing to try and slow Luocheng’s advances, he wasn’t worth much gold anyway, it didn’t matter if he was killed by the Battle Maiden!
“Xiao Ya, don’t panic, Exhaust him and then keep auto attacking!” Luocheng instructed.
Xiao Ya used her abilities as she ran, and when she realized that Graves wasn’t doing that much of damage to her, she started to calm down, casting her Exhaust on him.
2.5 seconds of Exhaust and Graves was half useless. Sona on the other hand had godlike attack speed and damage, a single auto attack from her managing to hack away half a bar of health from Graves!
“F*ck!” Qinjin almost wet his pants when he saw the damage afflicted to his health bar!
What kind of Sona had this attack speed, this damage!
During the Exhaust’s duration, Sona dealt a massive amount of damage, and Qinjin’s Graves was almost at death’s door!
“Xiao Ya, keep attacking and use your slowing Power Chord. He doesn’t have his ultimate skill so don’t be scared, just chase him!” Luocheng ordered.
Xiao Ya knew how to use her Power Chords, and quickly setting up a slowing chord, she was delighted to see Graves lose a considerable amount of health from a single hit from her. She began to chase Graves more fiercely, not about to let him get away!
You Have Slain an Enemy!!
Those haunting words appeared on the screen. Sona had killed Graves!
No one on Team Zhejiang was a pushover, and all of them were spectating the fight from their respective lanes.
Even though everyone had expected Graves to be able to kill Sona with ease, Qinjin and his Graves were the ones to die in the end!
What…what…just what the f*ck was happening!?
Qinjin stared dumbfoundedly at his screen, unable to process what had just happened.
Pressing his Tab key to check her items, he was shocked when he found a Black Cleaver among her potions and wards!
The five members of Team Zhejiang had about a billion questions when they saw the Black Cleaver on Sona!
Looking further into Sona’s stats, besides the 4 AP from her masteries, Sona didn’t have anymore Ability Power, but her Attack Power could rival even Graves’s!
Under normal circumstances, Graves should’ve still been able to beat a Sona with a single Black Cleaver, but it was that Exhaust that had sealed his death. That 2.5 seconds had allowed Sona to cleave at his armor, and even an auto attack had dealt devastating damage!
Qinjin’s face contorted with rage and embarrassment.
If you were an ADC who got solo-killed by a Support Sona with a Black Cleaver, would you still have the face to live on?
***
Either way, everyone spectating the competition was equally stunned, and the air grew stagnant as people stared with their mouths wide open.
K and Xu Ben did remember seeing Sona buy a Ruby Crystal. However, they had dismissed it thinking that she was going to build it into a Sightstone and had not paid any more attention to Xiao Ya’s further purchases. And suddenly, she had a Black Cleaver in her inventory, cleaving her way through the unfortunate Graves…
Sh*t!
K and Xu Ben were silent for a few seconds before doubling over in laughter.
Qinjin was “The Best ADC in Hangzhou”, and yet, he had been solo-killed by Xiao Ya, who was playing a Support Sona…
“Qinjin…haha…hahahaha, I think you’d be better off jumping out of that window, oh my God, I can’t, this is hilarious!” K didn’t even bother trying to hold back his laughter!
Xu Ben was suddenly on the floor showing his undying respect toward Luocheng!
Getting his Support girl so fed that she could build a Black Cleaver and solo-kill the enemy ADC with some help from an Exhaust…
Xiao Ya had never stolen those kills! Instead, Luocheng had given her those kills after ensuring that he had enough money to keep up, and then by using the team-wide gold that they earned through team fights, he continued to maintain their advantage.
And so when Xiao Ya had run into Qinjin, Luocheng was confident enough to calmly guide her as she ran Qinjin down!
Disgusting opponents would at most make you feel like you had eaten something wrong, uncomfortable and gross, but it was b*stards like these who would get their Support girls fed and then subsequently letting them build a Black Cleaver, these were the bastards that made you feel the disgust and hatred deep within your bones!
Really, being a man who was solo-killed by a Support girl, especially a man like Qinjin who had been ready to degrade the poor girl after he was finished, how were you going to face people after that! Every single last shred of dignity he had had, ground to dust by that solo kill!
