Chapter 77: Inferno
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Impossible!
All five players of Team Aviator stared at their screens, dumbfounded.
They’d never even imagined it possible that Huang Yu, with his injured hand, would show up while they were taking Baron, and catch them all with Evelynn’s ultimate skill.
And they definitely hadn’t expected that the moment they slew her, Twisted Fate would be waiting for them at the exit from the Baron pit!
In that running battle from previously, they’d used all of their Summoner Spells in order to bring down Jarvan and Renekton.
When they were trapped in the Baron pit, there was no escape for any of them!
One volley of ‘Wild Cards’, and both Olaf as well as Xin Zhao had been cut down!
The red card hit both Leona and Ashe with its splash damage and effect, Slowing them both further.
Leona was swiftly melted away into nothing by Baron Nashor’s venom, and Twisted Fate could already kill Ashe with a single skill combo—she had no chance!
With the toss of a card, Twisted Fate had effortlessly slaughtered them all, in the wake of Evelynn’s death!
A quadruple kill! In any Normal or Ranked game, such an event would already be worth a fair bit of excitement—to say nothing of it happening in an official tournament match!
Quadra-Kill!
Quadra-Kill!
Quadra-Kill!
The crowd was losing their minds! An unsuspecting passer-by might think a bomb had gone off in the emporium!
***
Yin Qin, Xiao Tongtong, Xiao Dao, and Xue Haiyang felt as though there was a whole stampede of feral beasts roaring from within their souls!
Huang Yu just sat there, his heavily bandaged hand shaking more and more.
Quadra-Kill! Twisted Fate had actually done it!
At first, Huang Yu just wanted to stop the enemy from getting the Baron, even if it cost him his life.
If he’d dared to hope for more, perhaps Twisted Fate could also pick up a couple of kills, to even things out. From there onwards, they could proceed cautiously, fight carefully, and with the lead that Twisted Fate had gained, they might even be able to win!
It had never occurred to Huang Yu that Yu Luocheng would just kill all four of them!
It had barely taken a moment: All Huang Yu saw was Twisted Fate throwing out a razor-sharp volley of Wild Cards, along with a blood-red card.
The red card had Slowed them all to a standstill, and the Wild Cards had cut the tenuous threads connecting them to this mortal coil!
***
“Baron! Hurry, get the Baron!” Coming alive all of a sudden, Yin Qin frantically hollered orders at his team.
Kayle, Renekton, and Jarvan had all respawned already. Kayle was so keen that she even bought the ‘Homeguard’ enhancement, and came flying out of the Fountain like a comet!
The white flames roiling behind his wings were like a manifestation of Xue Haiyang’s burning enthusiasm!
Jarvan used an EQ combo, Renekton rolled across the floor, and Kayle beat her wings desperately. They absolutely had to use this chance to take the Baron for themselves!
Racing helter-skelter until they arrived at the Baron pit, they trampled right over the corpses of their fallen enemies and began the assault on Baron Nashor without pre-amble!
Kayle and Twisted Fate were doing plenty of damage. The Baron had soon been claimed by Team Scarlet!
“Huang Yu, hurry over there!” Seeing that Evelynn had respawned 1 as well, Yin Qin urged him on.
Huang Yu looked over, and saw that all his teammates were waiting for him. For some reason, his vision wavered beneath a sheen of hot tears.
He was a burden no longer!
He’d done his best for his team! He’d done something for his team!
With the lord as his witness, if they won this game, he’d quit drinking!
This he swore. For a habitual drinker like him, it was no trivial oath to make.
But if you were Huang Yu, rising up from the depths of despair to find hope anew, you’d be ready to forswear every manner of vice!
If even a 4v5 game could be won, what was impossible in this life?
His palms were sweating and shivering, not from nervousness this time, but with excitement!
He was the only one on the team without the Baron Buff—but they only bore that violet aura upon themselves thanks to what he’d done, and that was enough for him!
Now, he just had to do it again. Throwing himself into the fray, if he could land another mass ulti, the enemy would break and scatter!
***
After Evelynn had joined up with them, they surged up the Middle lane like a raging typhoon, until they were right outside the enemy base.
Twisted Fate’s ‘Wild Cards’ sloughed off great chunks of health with a touch, forcing the enemy to constantly retreat and recuperate.
Each time the enemy champions fell back to heal, Team Scarlet would immediately divert to one of the side lanes, using Jarvan and Renekton to tank the damage while they took another tower down!
With the Baron Buff, as well as the tremendous boost to morale from gaining a Quadra-Kill, whipped the players of Team Scarlet up into a scarlet storm of destruction which consumed all the enemy’s outer towers!
Each tower widened the financial gap further, and soon Team Scarlet had an average gold lead of over 5,000. The Baron Buff had yet to expire, which meant that if Team Aviator picked a fight with them now, they would be torn to smithereens!
“Recall and heal up, then all Mid—we’re breaking into their base!” This was Yu Luocheng’s command.
“Right!” Xiao Tongtong, Huang Yu, Xue Haiyang, and Xiao Dao all nodded in unison, their eyes flashing.
“Remember: When tanking the tower, Renekton and Jarvan mustn’t venture in too deep,” Yu Luocheng instructed. “Stay within 700 units of the tower, and don’t chase after kills. If they retreat, we take their tower. If they attack, kill them!”
Xiao Tongtong and Xiao Dao both nodded earnestly.
Everyone on Team Scarlet understood that they were winning this 4v5 game mostly thanks to Yu Luocheng. Who said one person couldn’t make a difference?
Yu Luocheng had done just that, with his Twisted Fate!
Those filthy blackguards on Team Aviator… Hmph! They were about to get pushed all the way back to their Fountain!
***
“I feel like my whole body is on fire! Damn it, this is too much!” Wang Qin could feel the hairs growing on his chest.
Yang Qianqian was also beside herself with excitement. Many times, she’d had the overpowering urge to just squeal, like those girls up front were doing. When Yu Luocheng made that Quadra-Kill, she’d just wanted to fly over there and give him a big kiss!
Who cared about an awesome basketball slamdunk? Who cared about the melancholy guitarist? Nothing but the vanity of snotty little boys, compared to how their Yu Luocheng slaughtered his enemies with Twisted Fate!
***
Victory was within reach. The players of Team Scarlet were at fever pitch!
They could not be defeated—not with such passion, such spirit! No chance!
