Chapter 76: Tango For Two

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Huang Yu was positively bristling with wards, and the pink eye of True Sight hung suspended over his head.

He didn’t just charge headlong into the Baron pit. At twenty minutes, no team could take down the Baron in a jiffy. If they wanted to win this fight, they had to allow Olaf and Xin Zhao to lose as much health as possible beforehand. Otherwise, if those two meatheads threw themselves in the way, Evelynn and Twisted Fate would have no hope of clearing them all out.

Tracing the outer edge of the Baron pit, Huang Yu was investing every ounce of his concentration into controlling Evelynn with one hand. In all the time he’d been playing ‘League of Legends’, he’d never been this nervous before.

At last, he reached the mouth of the pit—and there was Ashe, firing off arrow after arrow.

In front of her were Olaf, Leona, and Xin Zhao, all clustered tightly together, probably in the fear that Twisted Fate might pop in at any time with his ulti.

Sticking together was effective for dealing with Twisted Fate’s ultimate skill, so that everyone could work together to take him down as quickly as possible the moment he showed up.

In any game where Twisted Fate posed a major threat, LoL players generally didn’t stray away from their team—not even to find a safe spot to Recall. If Twisted Fate showed up at the last moment, you’d return to your Fountain in a heap on the floor.

Team Aviator was being very careful to stay close together, giving Twisted Fate no chance to catch any stragglers.

‘This is my chance!’ Huang Yu’s heart sang.


Anyone who plays Evelynn should understand that the more tightly packed the enemy champions are, the more effective her ultimate skill will be. Hitting them now would Slow them down by 50%!

A 50% Slow would basically be a death sentence, especially under the constant stream of corrosive venom spewing from Baron Nashor!

Huang Yu could feel his palm sweating, his fingers quivering!

This whole game, he’d done nothing but run around planting wards. Now three of their teammates were down for the count, and Twisted Fate was struggling to hold the fort on his own, but Huang Yu could still help him by setting up the perfect massacre.

Although his health was meager, his damage was close to nil, and he had nothing but Sightstones on him… if he could just land the perfect ulti here, he wouldn’t have been a useless burden this game!

Rather the using the mouse cursor to select the skill, he reached up and—with great difficulty—hit R with his stiffly immobilized thumb!

His thumb shook dangerously. With the veins and nerves on his hand damaged, the slightest exertion sent jolts of pain running up and down his arm, making it even worse.

At last, he pressed down on the R key, and the aiming reticule for the skill appeared.

Now!

Already sped up with ‘Dark Frenzy’, Huang Yu willed his hands to keep steady as he moved in towards the four enemy champions!

“Evelynn! Everyone watch Evelynn! Is he trying to steal the Baron?” the MC exclaimed, as the view snapped over to Huang Yu’s champion.

Running at supernatural speed, Evelynn arrived at the mouth of the Baron pit, red skirt billowing fitfully as her invisible form raced towards her prey.

Agony’s Embrace!

Know the touch of death. Huang Yu jammed down hard on R, fearful that this now-worthless hand of his might miss!

Fwarr!

Evelynn deployed her ultimate skill in a vivid splash of scarlet red!

No one on Team Aviator had expected Evelynn to show up now. All four of their champions had gotten caught! They were drastically Slowed, and their health bars fell substantially!

Besides Ashe, none of them had been sitting on much health when they got hit. Between Evelynn’s ulti and Baron Nashor’s attacks, Xin Zhao and Olaf were suddenly in mortal peril!

“Beautiful! A four-man ulti from Evelynn!” the MC howled.

All four targets had been hit! Menacing red spikes ravaged the enemy champions, hobbling them grievously.

“Kill him! Kill him now!” The Team Aviator captain, Liu Qi, roared in fury.

Wu Kai was the first to react, using an EQ combo from Leona to grab hold of the Evelynn who’d come to die.

Xin Zhao, Olaf and Ashe immediately changed targets from the Baron to Evelynn, intent on murdering her immediately.

Witnessing the incensed wrath of his foes, a manic grin spread across Huang Yu’s face.

He hadn’t come here expecting to walk away alive!

Huang Yu marched Evelynn right into the Baron pit, luring all his enemies into its depths.

One more effect of Evelynn’s ultimate skill: For each champion hit, Evelynn would gain a damage shield worth 225 health!

Hitting four champions with her ulti meant that Evelynn was now protected by a shield worth almost a thousand HP, on top of the health granted by her level, not to mention all those Sightstones. Without Brand contributing to their damage output, and considering how they’d all just been badly Slowed, it would take a while for them to actually kill him.

Huang Yu drove Evelynn into the heart of the Baron pit. He wouldn’t be able to do much damage with his own skills, but the Baron’s damage was something he could count on. With every moment he held the enemy here, their health would plummet ever lower, and then…

As Evelynn’s health dwindled away to nothing, Huang Yu was cackling in triumph!

Bunch of idiots. Did they really think he was here to steal the Baron?

***

For the sake of the team’s victory, there always had to be someone who was willing to throw themselves onto the enemy’s blades.

Even as they fell, someone would come along and prove that their faith had not been misplaced… by slaughtering the enemy wholesale!

Huang Yu placed his faith in Yu Luocheng. Since Yu Luocheng fed him that kill, Huang Yu’s conviction in him had become iron-clad!

As such, even though Olaf’s health was low enough to drop him with his ‘Hate Spike’, he didn’t do so—nor did he lash out in vengeful ire against his hated nemesis, Leona. All he was seeking to do was to sacrifice Evelynn in a way which would help them achieve victory!

***

There’s a special skin 1 in League of Legends for Evelynn and Twisted Fate.

Elegant and intimidating, Twisted Fate is clad in a blood-red longcoat as he dances a passionate tango with Evelynn, cold and aloof.

The tango is a dance which demands perfect timing and coordination between both partners, and the trust that when you lean backward past the point of losing balance, there will be a firm pair of hands there to hold you.

***

A red card gleamed quietly in the darkness.


Twisted Fate watched patiently, with cold eyes, as his dance partner Evelynn was brought down by the enemy’s savage attacks.

He’d inscribed his thirst for blood in glistening crimson upon the card.

Four enemy champions… and so what?

Once this card was dealt, all he’d have to do was lean over and pluck his cards out from their corpses, so that he could wipe the blood off.

“Quadra-Kill!” It was an announcement, made with a voice of absolute authority. It meant four champions on the same team had just fallen together.

You can’t imagine the hysterical response from a crowd when a Quadra-Kill occurs during an official tournament match!

It’s not the slightest bit less thrilling than a penalty goal in soccer, or a buzzer-beater in basketball!

Evelynn and Twisted Fate had left the battlefield soaked in blood, working together with the tranquil grace and cool precision of a masterful tango dance.
