Chapter 99: Life and Death in 0.4 seconds
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Riven finally moved!
Yu Luocheng clearly remembered that Riven had already used her Flash, hence she would use her E to enter the fight. He slammed the Q key confidently, and Lux threw her magic wand forward, her light binding flying true.
Ranged minions, melee minions, and champions, the light flew across the chaotic battlefield, heading straight toward Riven.
Ting!
Riven was the first target that the Light Binding hit, hitting Volibear subsequently. The root duration for Light Binding was two seconds and Yu Luocheng ignored the fact that his bind had also hit Volibear. He instead followed up with his E and R immediately.
Lucent Singularity!
The sparkling disc fell on Riven, who was still rooted, emitting a shrill crackling of electricity as it vibrated violently.
“DEMACIA!”
A woman’s scream echoed out, as though releasing her pent up frustration from within herself. You could see the mass of energy gathering in front of Lux’s chest, forming that blinding white vortex. From within the vortex, a long beam of light shot out, striking through some ranged minions, Riven, Volibear and further beyond the wall!
Final Spark!
The display of this devastating light show left a row of dead minions and Riven’s life was down to half!
Yu Luocheng had already built a Frost Queen’s Claim, Athena’s Unholy Grail and Mejai’s Soulstealer. Such items could definitely shave off a huge amount of health from Riven, who had no way to retaliate or defend against her attacks.
“Waste Riven! Waste her!” Xiao Dao shouted.
Huang Yu was calm and knowing that his Jayce didn’t have any chances or survival, he made a split-second decision to switch into Hammer Stance, throwing an E-Q combo on Riven, deciding to get a life for a life. That burst damage from Jayce wasn’t small either, and it brought Riven’s health down to zero!
Shut Down!
Although Jayce was soon killed by the opponent’s ADC, he had managed to claim the bounty of 500 gold on Riven. 300 gold against 500 gold, including the Baron buff, this exchange was goddamned worth it!
***
Suddenly, the fight had become a 4 vs 4. Jarvan and Singed took a step back and stood in front of Caitlyn, determined to protect their backline. Lux was just a Support, and she was standing way at the back where no one was marking her.
Volibear and Fizz had tower-dived and killed Caitlyn, and so, Yu Luocheng turned his attention toward Varus. Taric was tanking the tower damage, but his health was dwindling fast; he needed to leave the tower range soon. Just as Taric stepped out of the tower range, Varus, who had been following the rest of his teammates, had also stepped into the tower range!
“Chance!”
Yu Luocheng’s eyes lit up with glee. He immediately launched a Prismatic Barrier, rushing forward to fight against Varus.
A Support against an ADC?
A professional should know, a Support should always utilize themselves as much as possible. With Lux rushing toward Varus, there was only one objective, which was to let the opponent’s ADC focus his fire on her while giving his teammates the chance to crush the others.
But as Yu Luocheng had switched off the voice chat, was he really doing it for the team?
Light Binding!
Varus saw Lux coming toward him, and was anticipating a fast kill. However, Yu Luocheng launched his skills the instant it cooled down, rooting Varus instead. Two seconds of root with the addition of the tower’s damage and Singed’s poison damage over time, Varus’ health was down to half in an instant.
***
“D*mn it! You dare?!” Team Dawn’s ADC exclaimed furiously.
Once the root effect wore off, Lux saw the blood lust on Varus’ face and retreated promptly. Varus couldn’t afford to waste any time on a Support, so he angrily abandoned that thought and turned to follow his teammates to dispose of the Singed instead.
***
Once again, the entire fight ignored Lux.
Rounding back to the tower, Lux now shifted her attention to the Taric, who had less than half his health left. Taric had started to run the moment he saw Lux’s approach.
“Juking?” Yu Luocheng smirked.
The way to counter juking was to limit your skill shots and basic attacks and just focus on trying to get closer to the opponent. Yu Luocheng’s Light Binding was still on cooldown anyway, he headed toward Taric only to scare him off, to avoid him from jumping back into the fray.
Lucent Singularity!
Yu Luocheng launched his E skill. No matter how you run, you wouldn’t be able to avoid the range of Lucent Singularity. Pressing his E once more, Taric’s health was now less than 200, and if he could just land a Light Binding, Taric would be dead.
With a few more steps, as the distance between them was shortened, Taric made a sudden turn.
Yu Luocheng Flashed. He had been waiting for this moment when Taric would turn back!
Q, launch a Light Binding!
The moment Taric turned, he threw a stun. The white hammer flew in an arc and it crossed paths with Yu Luocheng’s Light Binding. The light turned into a cylindrical cage, effectively trapping Taric within its confines.
One stunned and the other immobilized by bind, both champions stood at a standstill.
They both had minimal health left. Whoever made the first move would kill the other. It had suddenly become a struggle between Supports!
Taric was already ready to execute his skill. The moment the root effect wore off, he would launch his hammer at Lux, claiming the kill and her bounty. Lux also needed to just hit one basic attack which could trigger her passive—Illumination, and she would be able to wreck his worthless hide!
No one knew what the outcome would be, they’d have to wait and see who could move first.
But did you know?
Lux’s root effect from Light Binding at just the first level was 2 seconds.
Taric’s Dazzle, even at full level was only 1.6 seconds.
In short, Yu Luocheng only needed to be faster than the opponent by 0.4 seconds!
Without wasting a single moment, Yu Luocheng moved to land a basic attack!
Swoosh!
Taric turned to run in a panic, but the attack landed, and he died while still in the confines of Light Binding.
***
‘If I didn’t have the confidence, how would I have killed you?
‘Your life will be engraved in my Mejai’s Soulstealer.’
Yu Luocheng’s finger hovered over the W key, staring at Taric’s body on screen and then glancing at the Mejai’s Soulstealer in his inventory.
Three stacks.
