Chapter 345: They’re Here for Blood! Not Towers!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

During that 1.5 seconds of Varus being pinned to the wall, Vayne had utilized that time to deplete half of his health!

“Oh, Varus is going to die again… how savage! First, Luocheng exchanged blows with his opponent in order to deplete each other’s health. Then, he rushed in to force the opponents to utilize all of their skills, and immediately after that, boom! Resurrection! His opponent could not have expected that. Then, he’d continued by triggering his Ultimate Skill to take out his enemies. Brilliant!” Bao Jun’s exciting comments were fired out like a Gatling Gun in full auto mode!

As soon as he had finished his comment, a huge mantis arrived from the sky!

“Oh, it’s Team Sky’s Jungler, Birch! Birch has noticed that there’s some conflict on this part of the map and has come to aid his teammates. Oh, he’s sharp!”

As everyone was watching in excitement, expecting to witness Vayne slay Varus again, Team Sky’s Jungler stormed out and dashed straight at Vayne!

Langjie smirked, “Heh, now let’s see how that Sword of the Occult can save you now!”

In a massive blow, about 200 points of Vayne’s health was shaved off by Kha’zix!

However, Luocheng was as calm as ever. First, a quick dash to the upper right direction, and then he pointed his crossbow at Varus.

One mouse click!

One bolt was shot.

Then another!

After that, a quick Tumble in the reverse direction from where he came, straight to Kha’zix’s back.

Kha’zix had already been moving toward the direction where he thought Vayne would have fled toward, trying to slay her before she got away. Yet, he had never expected her to suddenly appear behind him!

“Boom!”

Zilean’s Time Bomb detonated in the nick of time!

At the same time, Vayne’s Silver Bolt was shot!

But there was still some health left.

Fine.

Vayne quickly activated his Blade of the Ruined King!

Langjie had anticipated that he would die before the Vayne did, but he hadn’t thought that a Time Bomb and a mix of Tumble and Silver Bolts would have been able to take away all of his health!

And that wasn’t all. What was even more infuriating was that due to the movement speed buff from the Blade of the Ruined King, Vayne was able to move toward the river and put a great distance between herself and Kha’zix!

Kha’zix did not have any skill that could catch up to Vayne, and all he could do was crawl slowly to pursue her.

After recovering 300 health by utilizing her Blade of the Ruined King, Luocheng didn’t take the chance to flee.

No. He continued to kite Kha’zix with the rest of the skills that he still had under his sleeves.

Bao Jun couldn’t believe his eyes. His mouth was open so wide that it formed a huge “O” shape!

How gutsy! This was like pulling the fangs from a lunging tiger!

Yet, it was not fang-pulling that he was trying to achieve here.

He was trying to slay the tiger!

…

Birch decisively used his Flash almost immediately, vowing to slay Luocheng quickly!

Unfortunately for him, Zilean had thrown a Time Warp at Birch’s Kha’zix, slowing down his movement speed, hence, the Flash had only inflicted a Q key damage at Vayne and nothing else.

Seemingly unphased, Birch waited for his chance to use his W-skill, Void Spike. With this skill, Kha’zix could definitely defeat Vayne, the Night Hunter right away.

Luocheng’s eyes were locked onto Kha’zix, not blinking at all.

Every Champion would show some tell-tale sign before releasing their skills or attacks, like Kha’zix’s Void Spikes.

As soon as Kha’zix raised its claws, Luocheng swiftly pressed his Q key!

Every quick-key pressing required a pre-emptive cognition which was basically observing the opponents and anticipating their next moves. When one put his full attention into evading the attacks, it was quite easy to demonstrate a beautiful performance of evasion, strolling past his opponents.

Varus’s Chain of Corruption and Kha’zix’s Void Spikes were not skills that possessed homing capabilities. In other words, as long as the player put all of his attention and prepared the necessary skills, Vayne could utilize her Tumble to evade those skills easily.

Dark blue spikes darted from Kha’zix’s claws, tearing the air asunder!

Seeing the spikes closing in on their target, Vayne, Birch looked at her health and smirked. With that tiny bit of health left, his skill would be able to slay her in one go. His confidence bursting, Birch immediately turned and moved the other way right after releasing his Void Spikes. His Leap skill’s cooldown was almost over, so he decided to turn his attention toward his next prey, Zilean, the Chronokeeper!

In those sheer milliseconds, everything seemed to have slowed down in Luocheng’s eyes. To him, it was as if the screen had vanished and he was now inside the game. All he could see were the sharp air-cutting spikes that were darting toward his face!

Tumble!

…

On the huge screen, every spectator held their breaths as they watched the Void Spikes fly forth to pierce through Vayne.

Suddenly, Vayne quickly rolled away and evaded the spikes, as though they had whizzed past her by mere millimetres. It felt as though the air-cutting spikes had grazed her as they sped on by.

She had evaded it!

The crowd couldn’t believe their eyes! Luocheng was able to evade the attack within such a close range. How incredible!

“Thud!”

Bolts were fired from Vayne’s crossbow and landed on Kha’zix. Turning back to face her, Kha’zix could barely believe that this Vayne was still alive. Enraged, he quickly dashed toward her!

“Slash!”

Suddenly, a barrage of yellow projectiles rained toward Kha’zix from across the river.

Kha’zix’s health had already been halved earlier, and now, Lin Dong’s Ezreal had taken away another third of his health with his Trueshot Barrage!

Birch was shocked as he stared at his health.

Out of the blue, a bolt landed on him!

He quickly backed away but was hit by yet another Bolt. Birch frantically pressed his Q key, wanting to slay Vayne while he still had the chance.

Alas, there came the third bolt, and his health was all but depleted.

“Double Kill!”

…

“What a brilliant performance! Utilizing Vayne’s advantage in her agility, he was able to evade his opponent’s attacks while kiting and depleting his health. Then, with the aid of Ezreal from the middle lane, Vayne was able to slay two Champions in such a short time!” Bao Jun exclaimed.

“Oh, and I almost forgot, Vayne had gotten herself a Sword of the Occult earlier. These two kills have probably stacked by 4 now!”

A Sword of the Occult that had 4 stacks… That meant that this equipment would now grant Vayne a whopping damage of 1200, it was no longer considered a dead weight!

Two kills. This also meant that Team Skycrown had acquired more gold from this and Luocheng quickly headed back to base and purchased his boots.

Then, he did something that once again left everyone baffled – Instead of returning to his bottom lane, Luocheng decided to head to the top lane.

Did that mean he wanted to change lanes? Everyone was puzzled by this.

As Luocheng activated his skills and rushed toward Renekton, the crowd then understood what she was trying to do.

Vayne wasn’t changing lanes, she was hunting down champions!

Upon coming out from behind the tower, Vayne quickly Tumbled and turned invisible. Sheer moments later, she briefly attacked a creep with her auto attack before Tumbling away again.

In no time, she was able to appear right in front of Renekton who was unaware of what was coming!

“F*ck me! How did she get here!?” Vulcan let out a loud curse.

Vulcan’s Renekton had been growing well by creep scoring. The crocodile had been able to force Yorick squirming back within the towers – a payback for Da Luo defeating him with Jax before this.

However, just as the joy of revenge was sizzling in his mind, a Final Hour activating Vayne had appeared right in front of him!

It was not unheard of to have a Jungler suddenly appearing every now and then. Yet, this was no Jungler, instead, this was the ADC that was on a killing spree at the bottom lane. What the heck!?

In most cases, if you were to see a Vayne running out of her lane and appearing in front of you… that meant that you were dead!

The top lane was a wide and long area. With Vayne activating her Ultimate Skill, she was no different than a fierce panther, and she could easily catch up to any prey that she laid her eyes on!

Sure enough, the Blade of Ruined King touched her prey, slowing down his movement speed.

Yorick then hurled another debuff, further slowing Renekton down. By now, it didn’t matter if Vulcan used his Flash to escape his pursuers. All he could do was stare at his depleting health.

Each attack was brutal, and his health was drained out bit by bit. It did not matter how big his health pool was, nor how sturdy his equipment was.

Then came the moment when Renekton fell, and Vulcan was both angered and dismayed when he saw this.

That wasn’t how you played ADC! Who told you that you could leave your post at the bottom lane and come up here to gank me!?

“Um… I’m just speechless. Vayne’s timing in ganking Renekton was impeccable. It was all done at the same time a new wave of creeps came pushing in too. Renekton has good equipment and if he were to utilize his Ultimate Skill, not even the Jungler could take him down in such a short time. Heck, if that happened, the conflict would possibly result in the Jungler losing his life too, and yet, Vayne came rushing in with her Final Hour. Whoa, I suppose there’s nothing Renekton could do other than feed her!” Bao Jun concluded after a long pause.

Vayne really was formidable with her Blade of the Ruined King and it was true that she could now take on anyone. However, leaving her own lane and heading straight to the top lane to gank the Top over there? That was unheard of in the LPL.

Nonetheless, that was what you ought to do if you wanted to win – to strike when the enemies least expect it.

If the Jungler were to gank Renekton, Vulcan wouldn’t have been slain so easily as he had been playing the role of Top for such a long time.

Team Sky had sharp minds on their side too, and after seeing Vayne’s ganking, the remaining four decided to team up to take on the Dragon.

…

“Let’s take out the top lane towers. We’ll gain the upper hand that way.” Da Luo suggested to Luocheng.

Luocheng looked at the lower right side of the map and replied, “Ignore the towers. Kill them!”

Hearing this, Da Luo opened his mouth intending to refute this decision, but then he shut his mouth, not saying a word.

Indeed, what good was it for them to take down the towers?

They were not here to win the game.

No.

They were here for blood!

“Okay. Let’s go then!” Da Luo’s eyes were shining as he recalled how Luocheng had led them in overpowering the Koreans.

That had been such a memorable event!

Indeed, they were not here to win the game, they were only here to slay their opponents!

To them, this was not a game. It was war!

…

Vayne’s Sword of the Occult had now acquired 6 stacks on it. Wielding it, Vayne zipped through the map shrouded in thick fumes of murderous intent as Team Sky was facing off Zhou Yan, Lin Dong and Wu Sen.

Seeing Vayne was on her way, coming for them, Team Sky didn’t hesitate anymore – they went straight to the Dragon.

“Now!” Luocheng ordered Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan nodded and pressed his E and Q keys, rushing straight into the crowd!

Dragon? Hah! Zhou Yan’s Jarvan IV didn’t even waste a glance on the majestic beast. After storming straight at his opponents, Zhou Yan quickly activated his Ultimate Skill – Cataclysm and trapped his enemies in the impassable terrain that it created.

Then, a Flash!

Team Sky was now ensnared inside an inescapable cage, waiting for Vayne to come and reap their souls!

Yes, indeed. She wasn’t here for the Dragon or the towers. All she wanted in the Summoner’s Rift was blood!
