It was now quite a headache for Luocheng to decide where to develop his Kassadin further. No matter where he went, to the top lane or to the bottom lane, Number One always followed.

“D*mn it. Could it be that someone has paid good money for him to purposely target me? Can’t he just go kill Lin Dong instead!?” Luocheng was so frustrated.

Being an assassin, you should be putting all of your attention on the ADC. ADCs were easier targets for assassins, whereas Kassadin possessed the ability to blink away and switch sides in an instant. Could you kill him?

To kill a Kassadin, as long as you weren’t stupid and always wasted your R-skill all the time, it was rather easy to kill him, especially if you had two to three teammates working together. Besides, it was quite impossible to kill Luocheng with sheer force as he now owned not only a Zhonya’s Hourglass, but also a Seraph’s Embrace.

Nevertheless, Number One was persistent like a disease, pursuing Luocheng and nothing else. This made it very difficult for Luocheng to grow his Kassadin.

“Number One has been targeting Fighting Hawk for quite some time now, huh?” Miracle commented.

Some players’ skills were so extraordinary that one could say that they were the souls of their teams. If they were left unchecked, these super players could become a major threat in the end-game, and so, many teams would tend to plan out some very drastic measures to counter them.

However, what Team Beijing was doing at the moment was a little too much…

So far, the dragons had only been killed by Team Beijing. Team Skycrown, on the other hand, did not dare to force their way onward in a full five-person team. The lack of any sort of advantage in the middle lane had left them with an economic crunch. Zed now possessed a Blade of the Ruined King, Black Cleaver, Last Whisper, and Bloodthirster. These items had granted him invincibility in any fight, he could kill just about anyone he liked. No one could defeat him. Ever! There was no need for him to acquire better equipment anymore as Luocheng would not be taking him on anytime soon since he was not capable of doing so. In fact, if Luocheng were to clash with Zed directly, it was quite likely for him to be slain instead.


Luocheng only had a Zhonya’s Hourglass, Seraph’s Embrace, and a Needlessly Large Rod. He still had a long way to go to have a full set of proper equipments in his inventory. His teammates were not able to provide much assistance due to the disadvantageous situation they were facing now, thus, all he could do at this point was to stall the match as much as he could.

Regardless, Da Luo’s equipment was now getting better and on top of that, Zhou Yan had a lot of HP, making him very tanky in fights. One of them could toss his True Ice Axe at the enemy while the other one could do the same with his Meat Cleaver. Due to that, Team Beijing could not come charging in blindly to take them down. Besides that, they could not push any tower with their current abilities. Pushing towers was perilous and risky, not to mention, Lin Dong, Zhou Yan, and Da Luo all had better equipment than them in general.

Team Skycrown had the chips to play a drawn-out game.

Team Beijing wanted to go get the Dragons? Fine, let them. The game had now lasted for 30 minutes, killing the Dragons would not have given them any financial advantage.

Thus, here came the stalemate.

While all of this was happening, the flower count was rising sharply. After Zed’s three kills earlier, Team Beijing had received a lot more flowers than their opponents now.

Although there were still people tossing in flowers for Demacia Cafe, they were not pouring in as much as before. In fact, this was Luocheng’s hardest fight ever since Demacia Cafe had started organizing the tournaments. It was the first time the fans at Demacia Cafe were seeing their favourite Team Skycrown face such a crunch, to the point that they were now focusing on leading economically in the match.

“Number One, stop chasing Kassadin. We need to push on. If this goes on, it will not end well for us toward the late-game.” Team Beijing’s Jungler suggested.

“Yeah, Leona and Vi can go hit their ADC, lure them to Baron Nashor.” Number One nodded in agreement.

It was time. They had been pinning Kassadin hard so that they could force Fighting Hawk to use an underdeveloped Kassadin in this match.

The outer towers on both sides had already been destroyed. Now, Team Beijing just needed to take down Team Skycrown’s second tower.

Dr. Mundo and Olaf were quite a nuisance with their blade throwing, resulting in Team Beijing being unable to push on. Now that Number One had agreed to join in the fight, they could win.

“Do your best, Number One. Li Ji is giving you another 20,000 flowers!” Cheers could be heard from Noxus Cafe’s lobby.

20,000 flowers again!

Number One’s eyes were now lighting up. It seemed that taking on Team Skycrown was the wisest move they had done in months. They would be swimming in prize money after this!

Right now, Team Beijing had about 51% of the flowers on the live streaming site. Now that the two teams were meeting at the Baron Nashor, this would be their most important face-off yet.

Just as everyone was paying attention to the upcoming fight at the Baron pit, suddenly, there was a sharp dive in the percentage of Team Beijing’s flowers – from 51% diving down to 47%!

Each side had over 20,000 flowers now, and so, a few thousand flowers would not make much difference in affecting the quota.

In other words, someone had poured a massive amount of cash into the pot yet again!

With Leona, Rengar, and Vi, it was quite easy for Team Beijing to win any fight out in the jungle.

Team Beijing was doing quite well in baiting their opponents. When Team Skycrown arrived in the area, Rengar leapt out from his stealth mode, and not bothering to drop down any Vision Wards, he rushed straight toward Lin Dong’s Sivir!

Although Wu Sen was quick in stunning Rengar, the Pridestalker had successfully stalled Team Skycrown, adversely affecting their formation!

Then, sure enough, Leona quickly blinked over and showered down her offensive skills at her opponents. At the same time, Vi had also activated her Ultimate and dashed toward Lin Dong with all her skills in tow!

With Team Beijing’s line up, they could kill anyone in the glimpse of an eye if they put their mind to it. There was no way for that one target to survive their combined attacks, and even though Lin Dong had acquired a Quicksilver Sash to avoid being instant-slain, it was all in vain…

Wu Sen had already Exhausted Zed when he had gotten close to him. Even so, Zed’s DPS was still too high, and Lin Dong was only able to counter-attack with just one skill before being slain!

“Holy moly! This is too wild! The fully protected ADC was slain in an instant! It seems that Team Skycrown’s formation this round will be totally destroyed. The ADC was their crucial member in dealing damage to their enemies!” Miracle exclaimed in excitement.

Just like how Luocheng’s Kassadin had been slain earlier, Lin Dong was not able to evade the touch of death itself this time. All he saw was a group of champions storming toward him and then “Wham!”! His screen showed nothing but ashen white.

They were going to lose this match and Lin Dong could not help but to shake his head in dismay.

There was nothing Dr. Mundo and Olaf could do to put a dent on their enemies with their DPS. Sure, they had good equipment, but those were gears for tanks. With their ADC dead, all they could do now was to just keep chasing and continuously attack Vi. With Taric buffing them, all three of them had impenetrable defense and health. After Lin Dong was slain, they were now focusing on pursuing Vi.

“I’ll shield you. Xiao Ju, you take on Olaf.” After Leona had cast her last remaining skill, she quickly retreated behind their ADC.

Lucian’s powerful DPS was essential in taking down tanks. After spending all of his skills, Zed still needed the others to defend him, otherwise, with the combined forces of Olaf and Dr. Mundo, the great Zed could still be ganged up on and beaten to death.

Nodding his head, Xiao Ju skillfully stepped forward to take on Olaf, the Berserker.

Olaf was focusing on pursuing Vi. All he knew right now was to continuously attack Vi.

“Wham!”

Just as Xiao Ju was about to attack, thinking that they were now a few steps closer to victory, suddenly, a shadowy silhouette leapt out from the side and landed a kick from the Void on his face!

Before he could react, his screen had turned to a mono-coloured screen!

“You Have Been Slain!”

Xiao Ju could not believe his eyes as he stared at his screen speechlessly.

“Hey, attack him! You’re the ADC, right? What are you doing!?” Leona noticed that their ADC was not attacking and was puzzled by his incompetence.

And as he turned back and looked, he saw that their ADC was dead. Not only that, he could see the Void Walker standing not far away!

Dead?

Dead!?

Their ADC was dead!?

Just a few seconds ago she could still see Lucian attacking his enemies relentlessly like Pegasus Saiya unleashing his Pegasus Meteor Punch! Yet suddenly, he was now dead! What the hell!? Was this a bug!?

Team Beijing’s Number One, Jungler, and Top had not even realized this yet as they kept on pursuing their prey.

It was really strange. They had been dealing a lot of damage all this time and yet they still could not land another kill.

Suddenly, Kassadin leapt out from hiding, unleashing a series of skills onto Number One!

“Holy sh*t!”

Number One was astonished as he saw that most of his HP had depleted in just one go. And that was the least of his worries too as Olaf came storming at him, wielding his gigantic axe!

Number One quickly zipped through a wall using his Living Shadow and fled. Luocheng did not care to pursue him though, instead, he went the other way and pursued Leona with his teammates.

Leona had already been slowed down by Dr. Mundo’s Infected Cleaver. As soon as his skills’ cooldown was over, Luocheng quickly stepped up with his Force Pulse and Null Sphere, depleting Vi’s HP by a huge chunk.

“Gimme the kill. Give me the kill!” Luocheng yelled out to Da Luo.

You ought to know, Da Luo was a killing-frenzied junky. If you didn’t stop him, he would definitely take away the kill instead of giving it to the other teammates who needed the EXP and gold, and right now, Luocheng needed to pawn an enemy’s head more than he did!

Heeding his captain’s words, Da Luo quickly focused his attention on Rengar, forfeiting the kill to Luocheng. Rengar was a fast runner, and so, as soon as he saw that things had gone awry, he quickly turned tail. With his immense pool of health, it would not be easy to kill him in a short span of time.

“Let them go. We’ll take the Baron Nashor down instead.” Luocheng ordered.

“Baron Nashor?” Zhou Yan, Wu Sen and even Baron Nashor were shocked after hearing this.

Come on. You could have killed a Jungler. What do you need to kill a Baron Nashor for? D*mn it, Lin Dong had died for this! And now, he had probably died for nothing!

Then, they paid attention to the scoreboard… and voila! They finally saw that Lucian was dead!

“What!? But how!? How did their ADC die!?” Lin Dong was taken aback by what he saw.

Zhou Yan, Wu Sen, and Da Luo too were staring at the improbable truth lying right in front of them…

Yes. How? How had the enemy ADC died?

And it wasn’t just them, even the folks at Noxus Cafe were stunned when they finally noticed Lucian’s death.

Demacia Cafe’s fans were standing there, staring at the screen in awe. Lucian’s death had been so unusual.

The player of Lucian,Xiao Ju himself, also had no idea what the hell had just happened. All he had seen earlier was just something stepping on him and then, he was dead the next second…

It had taken less than 0.5 seconds for him to fall down lifelessly.

This was impossible. His HP had been full. Full!

It was a strange death indeed.

No. It was bizarre!

A bizarre death!!!

***

Consequently, Team Skycrown had shifted their attention to the poor Baron Nashor.

They had lost their ADC? Not a problem. Dr. Mundo was still there. His Meat Cleaver was like the Dragons’ worst nightmare, his every cut on Baron Nashor would take away a huge amount of its health.

Zhou Yan kept on clicking on the Baron without looking at its HP meter.

He was familiar with the Mini-Boss and he had memorized the amount of damage a Smite could do. As soon as the Baron’s HP dropped low enough, he could Smite it down without mercy.

“So, how did Lucian die?” Da Luo asked with a puzzled look.


Luocheng did not have time to entertain his question as he had just seen Zed lurking around in the area. This b*stard was trying to attempt a sneak-attack or perhaps, he wanted to kill-steal their Baron. He had to be chased away!

Thus, Team Skycrown was able to kill the Baron Nashor without much issues before teleporting back to their homebase.

After all this, still, no one was able to figure out just how Lucian had been killed!

The Observer’s camera was actually looking at Lucian’s surroundings earlier as well. Everyone – viewers on the live streaming site, spectators from both the Noxus Cafe and Demacia Cafe had seen a Lucian with full HP just moments before he died.

The camera had only moved away for less than 1 second and voila! Lucian was dead!

Indeed, Kassadin did not need a full second to unleash all of his offensive skills, and yet, his equipment was trash! How had he killed Lucian in under 0.5 seconds with his shitty equipment!?

This was impossible!

Did he cheat?

However, was there any cheat that allowed a champion to kill another in under 1 second in League of Legends? There was no cheat or external plug-in cheating softwares for League of Legends, and even if there was, it was just the creep respawning timer or a skill-cooldown timer… right?
