BXBX NOVEL Chapter 70 - All-Out Brawl!
Chapter 70: All-Out Brawl!
And now, Twisted Fate was holding a red card, aglow with the damage boost from his ‘Lich Bane’!
Whap!
He flung the red card, which smacked Leona full-force in the face!
Waves of red energy swirled around her, Slowing everyone it touched.
Charging in to attack Twisted Fate, Xin Zhao was caught in the red card’s area of effect, and faltered ever so slightly.
“A well-placed red card, impeding the enemy’s impending attack! But look, Olaf has activated his ulti, and now he’s charging in!” the MC yammered away at high speed.
Olaf’s ultimate skill rendered him immune to Slows and all forms of crowd control. His whole body sheathed in the crimson miasma of war, blood-streaked battle-axes clutched in each hand, he barreled hungrily towards Twisted Fate!
Ghost!
When Olaf used ‘Ghost’, he became like unto a raging bull, and now he was bearing down on Twisted Fate!
“Leona Flashed in to apply CC, Xin Zhao is rushing in too, and now Olaf has activated both his ulti and ‘Ghost’ to join the battle! What sort of grudge does Team Aviator have against Twisted Fate?” the MC exclaimed.
Bull-rushed by three powerful dive champions 1 … with or without mobility skills, any champion would be dead meat!
Renekton threw himself in front of Twisted Fate protectively, although it was little use against a rampaging Olaf. Terrance could feel distress clawing at his lungs—Twisted Fate was moments away from getting caught by the enemy!
“Demacia!”
With an earth-shaking battle-cry, Jarvan leapt through the air and slammed his lance into the sodden earth of the river bed!
Kaboom!
The ground quaked, and mighty crags were thrown up all around Jarvan to form an enormous crater. He had surrounded himself with an impassable wall of boulders!
Regardless of whatever tantrums Olaf threw, he wouldn’t be able to break out of this circular stone prison!
“Well done! Jarvan has successfully trapped Olaf within the effect of his ulti, thus halting his mad charge! What’s more, this has also put Xin Zhao in an awkward position, unable to reach the enemy’s rear line! Meanwhile, Kayle is unleashing her full fury upon them! Note that this Kayle has already got ‘ Bork 1 ‘ and ‘Berserker’s Greaves’, so her damage is nothing to sneeze at!”
Kayle was going for Attack Damage (AD) items, even though she benefited more from Ability Power (AP), because she needed Physical Damage more, this game.
She was currently under the effects of an ‘Elixir of Brilliance’, so her ‘Righteous Fury’ had hardly any cooldown to speak of, allowing her to just stand in place as she rained fire down upon her enemies.
Twisted Fate had similarly taken shelter between his two teammates, which also put him right next to Kayle!
In a team fight, it was optimal for the ADC and AP to be in the rear, near each other. That way, if an enemy broke through to attack them, they could both concentrate fire on him!
Insta-drawing a card, and then unleashing all his skills onto Olaf, Yu Luocheng’s strategy was simple: Neutralize the greatest threat, Olaf, as quickly as possible!
Red card, a crimson hurricane!
A basic attack enhanced with both ‘Stacked Deck’ and ‘Lich Bane’ could erase several notches from Olaf’s health bar, followed by another round of ‘Wild Cards’…
Olaf didn’t have any Magic Resist items at all, and the thirty points of Magic Resist and Armor provided by his ultimate skill ‘ Ragnarok 1 ‘ hardly made any difference at all!
Note that at barely fifteen minutes, Yu Luocheng already had five champion kills and 160 CS. He had the most sumptuous equipment, so that every one of his attacks that found Olaf—who so far had only picked up a Warmog’s Armor—dealt grievous harm indeed!
Watching Olaf’s health plummet down towards nothing, Xin Zhao couldn’t bear to watch and do nothing, so he circled around Jarvan’s crater wall, paying absolutely no heed to Renekton or Jarvan, and dove straight for Twisted Fate!
“Fall back!” Yu Luocheng pulled Twisted Fate away from the incoming threat, while calling for his teammates to follow.
Xin Zhao closed the distance with ‘Audacious Charge’, damaging and Slowing Twisted Fate.
Using Olaf as a springboard, Renekton shot forward with ‘Slice & Dice’ to reach Twisted Fate, and then used ‘Ruthless Predator’ to stun Xin Zhao.
Team Scarlet’s formation had become a little scattered as a result of Xin Zhao’s charge, forcing Kayle to switch targets—as she backpedaled away, she used all her damaging skills on Xin Zhao.
Xin Zhao had only made mediocre gains so far. If he’d managed to hit several champions with his ultimate skill, that might have provided a substantial boost to his defenses—instead, he’d only caught Renekton with it, for minimum benefit.
The way of the warrior is to charge headlong towards death!
Stunned by Renekton, Slowed by Kayle’s skills as well as her ‘Blade of the Ruined King’, Xin Zhao couldn’t even knock somebody up with his third-tier ‘Three Talon Strike’, and he had already taken a truly staggering amount of damage!
Realizing that he would neither be able to reach Twisted Fate nor Kayle, Xin Zhao’s only choice was to attack the wounded Jarvan instead, and take Knife’s champion out of commission.
Jarvan IV was Knife’s best champion. Since he dove in with his ulti to interrupt the enemy’s pursuit, he hadn’t yet used his ‘Demacian Standard’, since he couldn’t knock up Olaf anyway. Even if he used it to penetrate to the enemy’s rear line, his pitiful damage meant that he’d just be giving them a free kill.
Seeing that his health was dangerously low, Jarvan immediately used an EQ-combo to extract himself from the heated brawl ! 1
He’d just made it out with the very last shred of his health. Brand’s equipment was pathetic, but the champion himself dealt formidable burst damage nevertheless. Even more fearsome was Ashe, who already had ‘Infinity Edge’. Despite all the armor he’d built up, Jarvan still couldn’t withstand their combined damage output.
Sadly, after taking a share of the damage for Olaf, a fleeing Xin Zhao was able to deliver that last, fatal hit against Jarvan in passing.
“Urgh!” Jarvan fell tragically to the ground.
The battle was so intense that Yu Luocheng didn’t even notice His Majesty’s demise. Seeing that the skill cooldown had elapsed, he hit W to Pick a Card again!
Red again—as the blue card flashed past, Yu Luocheng reached out and snatched up the red one!
He flung the card, and Xin Zhao found himself at the center of another swirling vortex of vermillion mist, pulling at his feet!
A volley of Wild Cards followed immediately after, slashing Xin Zhao right across the face!
A basic attack, enhanced by ‘Lich Bane’!
“Twisted Fate keeps drawing red cards. Together with his Wild Cards, he’s dealing a lot of AoE damage! Xin Zhao and Olaf were both tanking up, but now they’re already on their last legs. It has to be said that the current situation is chaotic, exhilarating… there’s really no way to predict who’s going to come out on top, besides watching this game to the end!”
The fight had begun in the river outside the dragon pit, and now it had carried all the way over to the blue side’s Raptors camp!
Team Aviator’s Xin Zhao had managed to get away with his last few HP. Because he’d been taking some of the damage for Olaf, the Berserker had been able to mount a savage offensive, his thrown axes slowing Kayle down.
At the same time, Leona attacked from the other side, hitting Kayle with a ‘Zenith Blade’ followed by a ‘Shield of Daybreak’ to Stun her!
“Leona with an excellent flank attack! Kayle is in trouble now!”
The MC’s commentary was immersive and spirited, and his words moved the audience watching the game. Through the commotion of the crowd, they could only hear the MC’s voice, carrying them through this roller-coaster ride!
