Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

"Level 2 Rush" was a common saying in competitive games, but the “2" had different meanings under different rules.

The rule of Champions World was that as long as a minion dies, a nearby champion can gain experience, no matter who killed the minion. So if one wanted to rush for Level 2, they could only push the wave.

In fact, when over half of the first minion wave from the White Base had been cleared, the two enemy champions had already risen to Level 2.

There were obvious signs when champions leveled up. Of course Gu Nan and Wu Gui wouldn’t miss those signs.

However, it was too bad that Mi Luo and Mi Tian didn't have the money to rank up their abilities because of their terrible last hitting skills.

This was a very simple arithmetic calculation.

It takes 1,000 champion coins to rank up an ability by one level. Each champion was given 300 champion coins when the battle started, so they only needed to earn another 700 coins.

Every minion wave was worth 1,000 champion coins, but there wasn’t enough time for Level 1 champions to last hit every single minion, so they could only focus on last hitting the marked “high monetary value” minions.

The "Mi duo" killed roughly 5 marked minions per person, which was worth 150 champion coins. Including the 300 coins received at the start and the coins earned with the accumulation of time, the number of coins in their possession wouldn’t be over 500.

But what about Gu Nan?

As the marked minions fell down one after another, he killed nearly 23 marked minions, and he already had 989 champion coins.

The lost income from the two marked minions he missed when he was first adapting to the rhythm of battle had now been made up by time.

In front of the White Base’s city walls, another minion was about to die. A faint white light lit up on him; this was a special mark from the world.

Gu Nan’s expression changed slightly. He was quite far away from that minion. Under normal circumstances, he definitely wouldn’t make it.

That was also why it wasn’t easy to last hit in the early stages of the game. A full line of 500 vs. 500 minions stretched across the land for hundreds of meters. This wasn’t something that could be done simply by clicking on a screen. How could it be so easy to last hit minions?

This was a real battlefield; it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that countless changes took place in an instant.

However, Gu Nan didn't intend to let that dying minion go. His figure disappeared instantly and appeared directly behind the minion with a Blink—this was the final last hit before he rushed to Level 2. How could he let it go?!

The power of shadows emerged for the first time. A sword of shadow suddenly appeared in Gu Nan's hand, directly chopping off the minion’s head with a slash.

At the same time, Gu Nan's champion coins also jumped to 1,019. Having already risen to Level 2, he bought a skill point as fast as possible and added it to Shadow Sword Overlay.

｢Shadow Sword Overlay: Cast a shadow sword attack, causing three times the damage to the target. This ability can only be used twice in a short time｣

It was just Shadow Sword Overlay at Level 1, so its power was clearly not as terrifying as Gu Nan's original version, and there was also a limit on the number of uses in a short period of time, but it was already enough right now!

Under Mi Luo and Mi Tian’s stunned gazes, Gu Nan teleported behind Mi Luo with another Blink.

Gu Nan, who caught the opportunity, didn’t choose to use his ability directly. Instead, he stabbed Mi Luo in the back with a sword.

Gu Nan's action was too sudden, so until this sword pierced his back, Mi Luo couldn’t react in time at all. And the instant the tip of the sword sank into Mi Luo’s back, Gu Nan finally used the ability Shadow Sword Overlay.

Without Gu Nan needing to take any action, his body seemed to be manipulated by some kind of force. The sword that had been thrust forward was instantly drawn back, and his arm thrust at Mi Luo again.

Only this time, the sword of shadows was stacked on top of each other, as if layers of shadows had superimposed themselves, making a deep cut in Mi Luo’s back.

Originally, it was impossible for Gu Nan to make a second thrust so soon due to having to draw back his sword, but he made clever use of a rule of Champions World.

The abilities here were produced by the world itself rather than operated by the champions themselves. In other words, the champion only needed to click on the ability, and it would be used automatically.

This was also a means to balance the power gap between Star Rulers, but now it was used by Gu Nan to cancel the motion of drawing back his sword after stabbing out—allowing him to reset his attack!

Mi Luo, this elderly Star Ruler who was just stabbed twice, finally couldn’t help roaring in rage. He swiftly turned around, swinging the long blade in his hand at Gu Nan.

However, Gu Nan moved even faster, as if he had already expected this counterattack long in advance. He actually used Blink against the enemy in front of him again.

This Blink basically didn't produce displacement, but it succeeded in allowing him to appear behind Mi Luo again!

The sword of shadows in his hand thrust out again, precisely stabbing the same spot as the previous wound, followed by a Shadow Sword Overlay in the same way, piercing Mi Luo’s back for the fourth time.

This time, the sword stabbed the already-deep injury, causing fatal damage to Star Ruler Mi Luo.

The shadow sword with thrice the damage hit the target twice in a row, and there were even two auto attacks mixed in during this period, all of which were completed by Gu Nan the instant he attacked.

Four blows in an instant!

The poor Star Ruler Mi Luo didn't even get to see his opponent before that last sword sliced off over half of his shoulder, while his heart, which Gu Nan had always been aiming at, also broke apart, spraying blood profusely.

After all, Mi Luo was merely a Level 2 champion right now, which was equivalent to someone who just entered Prodigious Realm, and he wasn’t even in good condition to begin with. How could he survive such an attack from Gu Nan?

The elderly Star Ruler Mi Luo struggled twice, then finally found it difficult to maintain himself, falling directly from the air.

As soon as he died, the curtain of blood in the sky flashed slightly, and a white pillar of light lit up from the sky, cutting through the blood-red curtain to shine on Gu Nan.

Gu Nan saw his champion coins increase by 500.

A champion was worth 500 coins. This deal definitely didn’t lose out to last hitting!

"Brother!" Star Ruler Mi Tian, who was next to them, only had time to scream. He quickly lunged at Gu Nan, but the latter teleported behind Wu Gui again with another Blink.

Shadow Sword Overlay and four consecutive Blinks had already consumed most of Gu Nan's power of shadows, so he had no choice but to pause for a rest.

When he glanced at the opposite side again, Gu Nan found that although Star Ruler Mi Tian was gnashing his teeth furiously, he ultimately didn’t do anything hotheaded like brashly coming forward to throw his life away. In contrast, he even retreated slightly and landed on the ground.

After all, he was someone in the Star Ruler Realm. Although it was possible for him to be caught off guard by Gu Nan’s scheme, it wasn’t likely for him to act impulsively—after all, his brother was merely dead; it wasn’t like he couldn’t resurrect.

Moreover, this Star Ruler Mi Tian was quite smart—because he chose to land.

"Too bad." Gu Nan couldn't help shaking his head a little. These Star Rulers might not be familiar with the rules of MOBA games, but their grasp of the battle situation was still first-class.

"If he didn’t land, then it won’t be long before you can kill him as well, isn’t that right?" Wu Gui asked from the side.

She was absolutely right. Since Gu Nan could use Shadow Sword Overlay to kill Star Ruler Mi Luo, the younger brother Mi Tian naturally couldn’t escape either.

The only difference was that the other party would be more prepared, so Gu Nan would need to spend some more time to kill him. As long as Gu Nan recovered his condition a little, it wasn’t hard to kill the enemy.

But the situation became different again now that the other party chose to land among the minions.

If Gu Nan tried to hunt down Star Ruler Mi Tian right now, not only would he face the counterattack from the enemy champion, but he would also have to fend off the attacks from all the surrounding minions!
