Chapter 488: The Final Stand!!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“So exciting, so exciting!!”
“Team Skycrown’s Lone Gull has been pushing alone and he is almost about to clear the second Inhibitor. In a professional match, with two inhibitors broken, it basically means that there’s no chance for victory!”
“That’s right, the other members of Team Skycrown are also aware that this is the crucial turning point, and so, they’re trying their best to stop Team Sky from going back to defend, this is very nerve wracking!!”
At this point in time, the difference in winning and losing was really just a few key details. Which side could deal with it better, or which side would be favoured by Lady Luck!
Nothing was more eye-catching than the thrilling anxiety right now, where Team Skycrown was crawling out from their nest for the sake of helping their teammate carry out this sacred mission!
Only, an image suddenly changed everyone’s thoughts!
Tinghua’s Wukong had been returning to base, but he suddenly launched himself toward Zhou Yan’s Lee Sin and Luocheng, Orianna by his side, and Xie Yi landing his ulti on both Luocheng and Zhou Yan.
Orianna’s damage at this point was already at its peak, having hit Luocheng, this paper-like Support directly, half of his health was gone immediately. If it weren’t for Luocheng deliberately keeping a displacement skill, he would have most likely died to Orianna’s barrage of skills.
Luocheng used Distortion to run, but Zhou Yan didn’t have such luck. He didn’t have much health left already, and being hit directly by Orianna, his health was in a critical condition!
Zhou Yan’s eyes frantically searched for an escape route, but when he turned, he discovered that Blitzcrank had turned back from recalling too!
Blitzcrank forcibly hooked him back, and Orianna and Wukong followed up with their attacks, quickly disposing of Zhou Yan’s Lee Sin.
Opportunities and dangers coexisted together, Luocheng was well aware that with them coming out from their base to interrupt their enemies recall, it was possible for it to backfire on them, but they didn’t have any other choice…
They would rather die slowly but still have the chance to seize this championship!
“Hold on, you have to hold on!” Da Luo knew that his teammates had fallen into a trap, and seeing the health left on the Inhibitor, he shouted out, his emotions rather unstable!
As soon as Da Luo finished those words, more bad news came as Langjie’s Twitch appeared behind Wu Sen’s Lulu!
Wu Sen had already exhausted all of his skills to protect Luocheng, and his basic attacks couldn’t possibly compare to Twitch. Twitch’s damage was abnormally strong after all!
The poisonous bolts landed on Wu Sen, and he tried to escape in a hurry…
Yet, the bad news kept coming. Blitzcrank activated the Talisman of Ascension to speed them up while Orianna boosted them with her ball, and now, the average speed of Team Sky was boosted to about six to seven hundred!
Wu Sen’s Lulu knew that she couldn’t escape, and so, she decided to take on Twitch. Unfortunately, even with an Ignite, Wu Sen was unable to kill Twitch.
Once Zhou Yan and Wu Sen died, Team Skycrown was once again in trouble.
Lin Dong saw that his route back to the turret had been blocked off, so he fled into the jungle in desperation.
Luocheng followed Lin Dong closely. If Lin Dong’s ADC were to die, Team Sky could basically push all the way into their base and destroy their Nexus!
An illusionary chain bound Tinghua while another Ethereal Chain rooted Blitzcrank who was speeding toward them!
“Oh no, oh no! At this rate, Team Skycrown will be annihilated, they have no way to run back to their turrets!”
From the blue side’s red buff all the way to the middle lane, the chase continued to the blue buff’s jungle area. Team Skycrown had paid a rather hefty price for leaving the safety of their base to interrupt their enemy’s recall. They had lost two teammates, and now, the ADC and Support were being chased.
Orianna was able to accelerate her teammates, and this was the fatal blow to Team Skycrown’s remaining two members!
Blitzcrank and Twitch were scaling the walls from their base, blocking off the route for Team Skycrown to escape. Orianna, Renekton, and Wukong were chasing behind them, and under these circumstances, Luocheng and Lin Dong didn’t have much possibility to escape, death was only a matter of time!
“You run, I’m dead for sure.” Lin Dong said to Luocheng.
LeBlanc had many repositioning skills, and with Luocheng’s fluent control, there was definitely a chance for him to survive this lion’s den. However, for Lin Dong, he knew that there was no chance for him to survive this at all, and he could only hope to exchange one head for his. The other side still had their Baron buff, and apart from Tinghua, their health was all still quite full…
Luocheng furrowed his brows, not replying with a single word.
If the camera had been on him, Li Yun, who was sitting in front of the computer, would definitely know that Luocheng had encountered a painfully difficult situation now.
Li Yun knew that Luocheng liked to frown when he had something he was worried about, but no matter how painful or difficult it was, he wouldn’t have furrowed his brows to this extent, to the point where his brows were basically joined together!
At this time, even Li Yun could understand the situation from the view of the map.
The blue icons indicated Luocheng and his teammates, while the red icons were those hateful opponents. There were five red icons on the map, and they were like devils holding butcher knives, surrounding those small villages, not giving them any chance to live.
Meanwhile, the two small icons who had no assistance were desperately running to escape. The problem is that there was limited area on the map, and no matter how much Li Yun wished they could move out of the edge of the map, from the commentator’s words that Li Yun understood, Luocheng and his teammate were unable to fly!
***
The camera suddenly panned over to Team Sky’s base and you could see Da Luo still desperately hacking at the Inhibitor. There was very little health left on the smaller crystal structure.
Finally, Da Luo managed to take it down.
However, there was no joy or laughter on his face, because as soon as he turned, he would see his teammates either getting killed or already killed…
He was just one person, what could he do alone?
He could do nothing! He had no damage, just armor, magic resist, and health. The moment he and the other two members were killed, they could do nothing but watch as their own Nexus was shattered!
“No f*cking way” Da Luo grit his teeth. Upon taking down the Inhibitor, he ran like a mad man toward the left bottom side of the map!
At this time, Da Luo hated the fact that Teleport had a cooldown of 70 seconds. If he had it, he could Teleport directly in front of Luocheng and Lin Dong…
“Hold on, hold on. Both of you better f*cking hold on for me!” Da Luo didn’t care about anything, activating his ulti as he headed toward Luocheng and Lin Dong’s position!
Mundo’s ulti, it was a fight to win or die!
Perhaps, this really was Team Skycrown’s fight to win or die!
Not for the sake of regenerating his health, but just so Mundo could run a little bit faster!
Da Luo was clicking his mouse like mad, daring to charge in that direction even though it was actually quite a distance away. From the inner part of the enemy’s top lane toward the left blue side blue buff…
With this distance, it was possible that when he reached, his last two teammates would be dead, but what…what if he managed to make it in time!?
He didn’t realize but the two of them were also heading in his direction. He could do this, he would make it on time!!
“Da Luo, get back to the base and defend! We can delay them, it’s possible that we can still defend!” Lin Dong hurriedly tried to stop him as he watched Da Luo activate his ulti and run toward them.
Da Luo was being too rash and dumb about this, they had 5 of them on the other side. Even if they could barely meet near the Baron Canyon, it was possible that all three of them would die together!
“F*cking nonsense, just run to me!” Da Luo retorted angrily.
Da Luo was not stupid, he knew very well that once these two died, they wouldn’t have a chance in hell to crush the five members of Team Sky!
Moreover, even if they were destroyed, at least they would die together!
Da Luo would rather face fighting a fight with no chance than recalling back to base and being helpless, only being able to watch as the enemy destroyed everything in their base!
Lin Dong was silent, and from the tone in Da Luo’s voice, he could feel the heavy reluctance in it.
Who would be satisfied, who the h*ll would be satisfied!?
Team Sky was obviously a group of scumbags. If they didn’t have Tinghua, no matter how many more LOL competitions they played, they didn’t even have the qualifications to fight against Team Skycrown!
Whatever the Sky Club owed them, they would definitely be taking it back!
Lin Dong bit his lip hard, using the pain to forcefully calm himself.
What were they going to do?
The road back was blocked off, and with Team Sky’s speed, if it was to their expectations, they would be intercepted at the river in front of the Baron’s Canyon. At that time, Da Luo would most likely have just reached the top of the canyon.
“Up toward the tribush!” Luocheng told Lin Dong.
Drag it as long as possible, even if they died, they needed to drag it on longer. As long as the Inhibitors were still up, there was still a slim chance!
As soon as he said that, Blitzcrank appeared in front of Luocheng and Lin Dong.
Luocheng threw out his Ethereal Chain, tying up Blitzcrank who continued to pursue him while he used his W-skill to dodge the hook from the yellow robot!
However, behind Blitzcrank, Renekton and Wukong, under Orianna’s speed boost were speeding over. The two of them didn’t have any repositioning skills, how were they going to escape now!
Lin Dong bit his lip till blood trickled, trying his best to run toward the top side tribush…
Luocheng’s LeBlanc was behind him all the way, blocking all the skills that were aimed at them.
The problem was, he was just a Support.
“Continue to move, don’t hesitate, don’t look back. We need to waste as much of their time as possible!” Luocheng said, his voice full of determination and steel.
Saying that, Lin Dong watched as Luocheng pressed down on his W.
That would be the recast of his W which would transport his LeBlanc back to the previously marked position…
The problem was that the mark was right in the middle of the entire Team Sky.
An instant… it was just an instant, and Luocheng’s LeBlanc was killed by the five members of Team Sky.
Not knowing the reason, but when he saw Luocheng jump back into that snake pit to gain more time for him to escape, Lin Dong felt as though a heavy boulder was placed on him!
No matter how strong a person was, sometimes, even if he was only vulnerable for one or two seconds, all he would gain was a pause from the enemies!
This was just too f*cking cruel!
Lin Dong maneuvered his Lucian toward the top lane side, toward the tribush which would most likely be his grave. Although he was clearly trying to deceive himself, he would hold on until the very last second!
Load your gun, it is time to face the enemy.
Just like a cowboy duel—Fast Draw in old times, your back against your enemy, count to ten and turn around to fire at each other, shooting bullets amongst the sand flying around, determining death or glory with it.
The only difference was that Lin Dong’s Lucian was not facing an opponent who was drawing a gun like him, but a group of bandits with guns.
Either way, don’t let your hands shake!
Da Luo was still shouting in his ear and had been all the while.
“I’m coming! I’m coming! I’m coming…”
