Jing Yu finally understands why in PG’s last season, it’s either the Marksman dies alone, or both the Marksman and Support die together in the Bottom Lane; There had never been a case where the Marksman was able to make it through it by himself.
A Marksman who would rather die than to let the Support die for him – It’s either he’s a veggie, or a complete loony.
Qin Fei already can’t be bothered to berate Luo Yiming. No matter how much he nags, Luo Yiming will neither correct his bad habit nor will he switch positions with Han Leng.
Tsk.
Speaking of which, all his teammates are dead. What should he do now?
Qin Fei ponders and guides his Satan to circle around the Demonic Dragon. While calculating ANE’s damages and the Demonic Dragon’s health, he also picks the best path to Snatch the Dragon.
–That’s right. He intends to Snatch the Dragon!
Jing Yu is also anxiously calculating. When it’s about time, he yells urgently: “GO!”
Right in that instant, Qin Fei’s Satan opens 2nd ability Tyranny of the Demon Lord and speeds up, bulldozing into the Dragon’s Den!
Upon seeing him, ANE hurls all their CC abilities haphazardly at him, but Qin Fei doesn’t even bat an eye. He Flashes right over to the Demonic Dragon’s side, releases 1st ability Eruption of the Satanic Inferno, and his target naturally is – The Demonic Dragon!
Still, ANE’s Jungler, Burial Sword, forks out his Smite at the same time!
And the result is!?
【System】Burial Sword has conquered the Demonic Dragon!
【System】The Dragon Army is Infiltrating the Battlefield!
Halfling: 【What a shame!】
Candy: 【What a pity!】
Satan’s 1st ability truly can’t surpass Burial Sword’s Smite in speed.
Having propelled himself right into ANE’s midst but failed to snatch the Dragon, Satan is left with no way to retreat.
Despite knowing he’ll be ganked, Qin Fei doesn’t even bat an eye. He calmly locks onto the low HP Centaur and releases his Ult – Hands Of The Abyss!
【System】Satan, First Kill!
【System】The enemy Centaur has been slain!
【System】Burial Sword, First Kill!
【System】The ally Satan has been slain!
By the name of Qin Fei, even if he must die, he will drag them down with him!
Even though they’ve been aced and even lost the Dragon, they still pulled the enemy C Position down with them. Therefore, these losses can still be considered tolerable.
Not long after, the demons on PG’s side revive one after another. Under Jing Yu’s lead, the entire team goes to clear the Dragon Army systematically!
Halfling: 【This Team Battle has dealt some serious damages to PG! The scoreboard is flipped, and their gold is surpassed by ANE! But PG’s tempo is not disrupted in the slightest. As they counter the Dragon Army, they put on a show worthy of belonging to a Top 8!】
Candy: 【PG is well-practiced when it comes to countering the Dragon Army. Their entire team is completely in sync. There’s not a single wasteful move!】
Halfling: 【ANE’s members are all heading down to the Mid Lane. But, right as the Dragon Army is about to invade the Mid Lane’s first tower, the army is all but wiped out by PG!】
Candy: 【ANE splits up. Their Marksman heads to the Bottom Lane. And PG’s members are all moving to the first tower in the Bottom Lane!】
Halfling: 【PG wipes the floor with the Dragon Army down at the Bottom Lane, but they lose their one of Top Lane’s towers to ANE!】
Candy: 【They’re seriously neck and neck with each other! ANE’s invasions are indeed formidable, but PG never falters once when getting rid of the Dragon Army!】
Some time passes before PG soundly defeats all three waves of Dragon Army. The entire Battlefield seems to light up instantaneously.
In total, PG lost two turrets – one each in the Top and Mid Lane. One turret in the Bottom Lane also got brought down to half bar*.
(*G/E: status bar)
Despite being disadvantageous, these losses are perfectly within the team’s realm of tolerance.
After all, ANE is PG’s opponent for this round!
“We’ve got to win within 30 minutes!” Jing Yu declares, “If we can’t beat ANE in the first half, we’ll only lose more ground in the latter stage.”
Indeed – Every member of PG is clear of this in their hearts.
Being a team whose forte is firmly affixed in the first half, regardless of how aggressive a showing PG makes in the first half, when it comes to the latter stage, they just can’t avoid losing steam.
Even if they’ve been honing their latter half all this time, it still can’t get any better than the first half.
Therefore, should they lose out too much in the first half, even if they pull out all stops, they also won’t be able to salvage the second half.
They must make full use of every second to bridge the widening gap between ANE’s and their gold!
Jing Yu: “Marksman, finish farming the creeps then kill all monsters in the Bottom Jungle. I’ll give you my gold.”
Luo Yiming: “Ao~”
(**Ao 嗷: Can be the howl of a wolf ; could also be a slurred form of ‘Okay’)
Jing Yu: “Mage, follow me. We’ve got to take down a turret in the Mid Lane!”
Ye Hong: “Coming!”
Jing Yu: “The enemy is starting to attack the Demonic Disk. Fei Ge, go to the Bottom Lane. Co-op with Yiming to Snatch the Disk.”
Qin Fei: “En.”
Jing Yu: “The Support…… Before protecting the Marksman, make sure you protect yourself.”
Han Leng: “How very reasonable.”
Therefore, while the trio of Dark Cupid, Satan, and Sariel rush down to the bottom Lane, Jing Yu directs his Frozen Heart and Ye Hong’s Scarlet Fury to clear the creeps in the Mid Lane, thereafter following their own lane creeps to invade the enemy’s turret, piling all damages upon it!
With his flexible motion-control, Dark Cupid runs amok like a tyrant at the Bottom Lane and slaughters all monsters at top speed. His gold instantly leaps to the top of the team. Then, he swiftly shoots towards the Demonic Disk.
Sariel is by his side at every given moment. Satan also hovers in the bushes near the Demonic Disk, ready to jump into action.
Right when ANE is about to conquer the Demonic Disk, Satan uses Tyranny of the Demon Lord and barrels over to the five demons. Sariel seizes this moment to Ult, Blood-Lock, Speed-Booster causing every attack of ANE that comes from the front to fail. Dark Cupid also lunges within close range of the enemy Centaur in one move, throwing all of his abilities forward without the slightest reservation!
Centaur instantaneously drops to low HP. He Flashes intending to flee, but Satan Flashes to catch up and releases his Ultimate – Hands Of The Abyss!
Countless black hands shoot out from the ground, catching Centaur and pulling him into that abyss with no escape!
【System】Satan, First Kill!
【System】The enemy Centaur has been slain!
Dark Cupid never once stopped attacking throughout. Upon seeing Centaur Flash to escape, he’d promptly switched his target to snipe Peacock Plume.
Peacock Plume’s Ult was already depleted from when Sariel tanked the barrage of attacks. At the moment, she’s left with just one offensive ability and one Slo-mo.
She throws out her Slo-mo first, but Dark Cupid simply Flashes to get behind her and continues his assault.
She whirls around to deliver her offensive ability, but Dark Cupid plays dirty and dodges, evading it by a hair’s breadth and causing her attack to miss.
At long last, her blood closes in on the end of its bar, and her head’s taken by a single arrow from Dark Cupid.
【System】Dark Cupid, First Kill!
【System】The enemy Peacock Plume has been slain!
Right at this moment, Satan’s health is all but gone. Death God’s scythe flies over but fails to catch on him. He smoothly switches it up and releases a Death Scythe, only to miss once more – Isn’t it just some slippery dodges? It’s not like that’s a skill exclusive to only Ye Hong.
Qin Fei is unruffled from the start to the end. With unflappable calmness, he makes his low HP Satan slip away with motion control and dodge Death God’s ability cleanly. He even evades Merman’s CC on the way. Then, he throws himself at the Demonic Disk, forking out all of his remaining abilities! Nevertheless……
【System】Burial Sword has conquered the Demonic Disk!
It’s been proven once more that Satan’s ability can’t outmatch Burial Sword’s Smite in speed.
After conquering the Demonic Disk, Burial Sword swiftly Teleports to Satan’s side, Ulting to snatch his head!
【System】Burial Sword, First Kill!
【System】The ally Satan has been slain!
Han Leng: “Disperse!”
Jing Yu: “No need, I’m here!”
As soon as those words fall, on the screen, a flash of cold light links up to Death God. Immediately thereafter, a snow-white silhouette carrying a trail of floating, translucent snowflakes that sparkle and glow hisses, “Sou—”, and flies towards Death God. He Ults – Snowstorm!
Biting winds roar tumultuously as they swirl past. ANE’s Death God, Burial Sword, and Merman are all controlled!
Nearly at the same time, a blood red special effect pools out beneath Death God and Burial Sword’s feet – It’s Scarlet Fury’s Blood Pool Purgatory!
Dark Cupid also snags this opportunity to madly gank Death God!
【System】Dark Cupid, Double Kill!
【System】The enemy Death God has been slain!
【System】Scarlet Fury, First Kill!
【System】The enemy Burial Sword has been slain!
After CC loses effect, ANE’s only survivor, the auxiliary, sees the hopelessness of the situation and flees immediately with Flash. However, Ye Hong’s quicker than quick, Flashing in a blink of an eye to catch up. He releases Blood Entanglement first to CC, then follows it post-haste with Blood Drain, sucking away Centaur’s last remaining skin of blood.
【System】Scarlet Fury, Double Kill!
【System】The enemy Merman has been slain!
This is a Team Battle that began even before all members of PG rounded up. Yet, they managed to snag a 1 for 5, acing ANE with Satan as their only casualty.
Since the Team Battle is won, losing the Demonic Dragon becomes redundant.
Halfling: 【The headcount is evened out at 6 : 6! PG’s gold is picking up once more! PG’s average gold surpasses ANE’s again!】
Candy: 【Heavens, this is too thrilling! As expected of a Clash between the Top 8! To date, it’s hard to tell who will win in this match!】
Halfling: 【It’s a real shame for PG. Though they gunned to snatch the dragon and disk timingly, ANE’s Jungler, Fly, is hardly a vegetarian. He kept Smiting each time at the most crucial point. Even though PG has won this team battle, the next Demonic Dragon has yet to be refreshed. The lane creeps’ route also hasn’t been drawn out. It’s really such a shame.】
The truth is indeed as he called it. Jing Yu’s also lamenting with an inward sigh. Be that as it may, one silver lining is that their gold is finally caught up. Even if they team battle again, there’s nothing to fear!
Jing Yu: “Marksman, set the route for the creeps. Fei Ge, Top Lane. Mage, follow me to the Mid Lane.”
PG divide their creeps into three, clearing off ANE’s lane creeps while setting their own family’s creep route. In the end, by the time ANE’s whole team revives, they’ve already toppled a turret in the Bottom Lane.
“Assemble in the Mid Lane. I’m opening Team!” Jing Yu casts this order once more. PG’s members all dodge within the bush near the Dragon’s Den, patiently awaiting ANE’s arrival.
Why is the sight of this so oddly familiar?
Halfling: 【Like the first Team battle, PG gains a vantage point again! This time, will they be able to win?!】
Candy: 【Likewise, ANE follows the same route they took before…… Eh, Peacock Plume directly faces the bush and Ults!】
After ANE’s mid-laner, Wing, steps into the Dragon Den’s vicinity, he doesn’t even spare a second to think and directly Ults at the bushes!
PG’s members are all caught off guard. Thankfully, Sariel’s quick-footed, and he immediately Ults – Light of the Sanctuary locks all blood and boosts their speed!
Satan follows it immediately thereafter with Tyranny of the Demon Lord, barrelling towards ANE with an attack. Almost at the same time, Frozen Heart links up to Peacock Plume. Yet, he doesn’t Teleport himself over, instead lulling for half a beat.
This half a second’s difference makes Burial Sword waste a Defend. Frozen Heart Teleports right over to Peacock Plume’s side, and he Ults!
With Peacock Plume as the epicentre, four of ANE’s demons are CC’ed. Only Centaur Flashed in time and managed to escape.
With that said, Death God and Burial Sword both Release in the next second, defending the low HP Peacock Plume with their lives and directing all their attacks at Frozen Heart!
Frozen Heart dodges with motion control without pause, but he still ends up losing lots of blood. At the same time, Scarlet Fury CC’s, Ults, and attacks one after another, charging towards the front-most Death God to unleash a perfect combo-attack which hit-stuns him to the point where he can’t struggle.
Jing Yu: “GO!”
Following this order, Satan Ults, Dark Cupid Ults, and the hands of PG all fly across their keyboards, lunging at ANE to attack in a frenzy!
The enemy Centaur also Ults in the same second, charging forward to attack PG! Soon enough, Snowstorm’s freeze loses effect. The hands of ANE’s members also fly across their keyboards!
Then, the subsequent battle can only be described by the phrase, “A field littered with corpses”:
【System】Dark Cupid, First Kill!
【System】The enemy Peacock Plume has been slain!
【System】Centaur, First Kill!
【System】The ally Scarlet Fury has been slain!
【System】Dark Cupid, Double Kill!
【System】The enemy Death God has been slain!
【System】Centaur, Double Kill!
【System】The ally Dark Cupid has been slain!
【System】Satan, First Kill!
【System】The enemy Burial Sword has been slain!
【System】Centaur, Triple Kill!
【System】The ally Satan has been slain!
ANE’s support guards his own family’s C position from all directions. Meanwhile, on PG’s side, Dark Cupid actually died for the sake of protecting his teammates.
With this, ANE still has the OP Bottom-Laning tag-team, Centaur and Merman on their side. PG, on the other hand, are only left with Sariel and Frozen Heart.
This isn’t good. They can’t win!
Han Leng roars: “Goldfish, get out of here now! I’ll be right behind you!”
“No! I can counter-kill!”
Jing Yu obstinately yells back and makes his Frozen heart link up to Centaur.
At this precise moment, the clatter of his fingers against his keyboard rattles up to a pace that’s out of the world!
Teleport, 1st ability, AA, motion-control without pause.
–Frozen Heart, who is left with only a thin skin of blood, stubbornly dodges all of Centaur’s attacks and throws all of his own attacks at Centaur!
【System】Frozen Heart, First Kill!
【System】The enemy Centaur has been slain!

Tamago: I have a complaint! The author cheated me again! Sariel’s Ult from C14, Six-Winged Holy Light, was switched to Light of Sanctuary! Give me back all those seconds I spend ‘heheh’-ing at the beautiful name I coined!
Mara: My condolences… I really liked that attack name
