Genius Archer's Streaming-Chapter 238. Bubblegum’s Rebellion (2)

Chapter 238. Bubblegum’s Rebellion (2)

The turning point was when Bubblegum used his ultimate skill. Bubblegum started it, and Almond finished it.

[LazySoldier is on a rampage!]

[LazySoldier → ForeverAlone]

The enemy team’s core strength, ForeverAlone, suddenly died.

At that moment, OrangeKing twisted his body.

"Huh?!"

[LazySoldier Double Kill!]

[LazySoldier → Soju]

The ADC Soju also died.

OrangeKing slammed the table when Solo Is Back's damage dealer died, "What!?"

[LazySoldier Triple Kill!]

[LazySoldier → Maekju]

OrangeKing kicked the table and screamed when the team's third player died, "What the!!!"

— You scared the hell out of me.

— Why are you shouting? LOL

— As expected from a pro.

-— I'm more surprised by OrangeKing than the triple kill, lol.

OrangeKing screame, and his eyes almost popped out.

"Solo Is Back! They’re just like autumn leaves being swept away in the wind!"

— Are you reciting a spell?

— He's so hyped that he can't even speak, lol

— Are we really seeing a comeback?

[LazySoldier Quadra Kill!]

"Quadra!!! Will it be a penta soon!? This is almost an Almond penta kill! It's happening for the first time in this tournament!" OrangeKing screamed as if it was his last breath.

— Holy shit, a quadra kill!

— Penta! Penta!

— Oh shit!

Swoosh—

The last Crystal of Purity flew across the hill. Almond's penta kill was almost confirmed.

Boom!

The perfect hit was accompanied by a water splash.

Finally, the text appeared.

[Finale!]

[Bubblegum → Pollock]

"...?"

A moment of silence followed.

“Uh...”

Bubblegum carefully looked around with a raised fist.

— ???

— What

— lol

— ?

No one among the casters could open their mouths because they were ready to shout, 'PENTA KILL.'

"Almond! Pen, Pen... dra Kill!!!" OrangeKing stammered.

— Lol

— WTF LOL.

— What is pen-dra lol

— What's pen-dra? A cousin of hydra? Lol. I'm dying of laughter!

— This is a curse from OrangeKing

— Almond didn’t get his penta kill because OrangeKing cursed him earlier!

— Orange-lag, lol

— Almost got it?

***

Sa-Rang jumped to her feet as Bubblegum secured the final kill. Then she quickly sat down again.

Fortunately, the doctor was too busy screaming and didn't notice.

"Did he miss that?!"

The doctor looked back at Sa-Rang, who had already regained her composure.

"Sigh. He missed the penta kill. Did you see that?"

"Yes."

"Don't you feel disappointed?"

"It's disappointing."

Sighs also came from the crowd and replaced Choi Sa-Rang’s lukewarm reaction.

"Did he not get the penta?"

"No, what happened?"

"Disappointing..."

Most of the seated people wore almond hats. They felt even more disappointed because the team they rooted for didn’t get a penta kill.

Strangely, the section rooting for Bubblegum seemed more frustrated.

"Why did you do that, man?"

"Embarrassing… shame on you Bubblegum"

"Argghhhh! I want to tear off this gum!"

Bubblegum's fans usually enjoyed his play, but they seemed very disappointed at not getting the penta kill.

"Sa-Rang, did our win rate increase?"

"Yes," Sa-Rang nodded without any hesitation.

"Really? Even when Solo Is Back was leading the entire time?"

"The later you die in the game, the greater the penalty. LIL is the type of game where the tides can always change, but it's also harder to win if your team wasn't leading early on."

"Fair enough."

Sa-Rang merely smiled at this.

"If you play well, it's fair."

Unlike others, Sa-Rang's predictions were generally accurate.

Song Ha-Na turned back to watch the game, hoping for Balloon Stars to turn it around.

***

"What an impressive team fight even though they didn't get a penta kill!"

"Yes! It started with Bubblegum’s unpredictable attack and ended with Almond's precision. What an artistic fight!"

"From today on, we will call this fine art!"

"Shall we?"

"Yes!"

All five members of Balloon Stars survived, while everyone from Solo Is Back died. This would have normally turned the game around, but...

"The question is, can they actually turn the game around now?" the caster asked if Balloon Stars still had a chance to win because Balloon Stars lost so much in the early game.

"Balloon Stars needs to break through four towers straight, whereas Solo Is Back only needs one left. Can Balloon Stars do it?" OrangeKing pondered.

"That's tough. They would need more fights like this to turn the tide. As of right now, Solo Is Back's frontline is almost nearing Balloon Star's main turret."

Balloon Stars had wiped out the entire team, but OrangeKing thought they needed to win several more fights to win the match.

The analyst agreed, "You're right. Balloon Stars can't win with just one incredible fight, but time is on their side now. They can now lay the foundation for a comeback."

Solo Is Back would take twenty-five seconds to respawn. This meant Balloon Stars had twenty-five seconds, which was enough to take down a few turrets. Taking one down would cause quite an impact, especially in the late game. Twenty-five seconds was long enough for Balloon Stars to take down at least two turrets.

"That's right! Now we have a little room to hope for victory!"

"Getting this far is already impressive! Let's push through and regroup!"

Balloon Stars immediately began to push through the mid-lane.

[A turret has been destroyed!]

They didn't stop and took down the next tower.

[A turret has been destroyed!]

Balloon Stars continued to take down the turrets one by one.

"Wait, are they just going for it?"

"They’re moving too fast!"

"They’re even tanking the tower shots without minions!"

[The enemy's turret has been destroyed!]

They successfully destroyed the last mid-lane tower.

Solo Is Back’s top and bottom lanes were full of turrets, but it was necessary to break them all. Just breaking one lane's turrets would be enough to remove the Divine Shield placed on the enemy nexus. In other words, Balloon Stars could attack their nexus now.

"Now, only the twin towers protecting the nexus are left!"

"No, are they just moving forward like this?!"

Two massive turrets guarded the front of the nexus. It was commonly referred to as the twin turrets, which boasted much stronger damage and health than regular turrets.

However, Balloon Stars proceeded to attack as planned.

“Just hit it!”

“We'll lose if we don't finish it here!”

“Okay!”

“Tank it, bro!”

Bang! Crash!

Bubblegum went forward and attacked the turrets. The twin turrets had a much faster attack speed. Moreover, they became faster the more hits they received.

Boom! Bang!

[Bubblegum]

[HP: 20%]

Bubblegum's health significantly dropped to less than half.

"No! Balloon Stars! Shouldn’t you all just return to the base and buy more items? His health is...!"

"You’re all going for it just like this?!"

Boom!

One of the twin turrets collapsed after the last shell fell on Bubblegum.

“Switch to Tako now!”

“Okay!”

Bubblegum’s health was almost at rock bottom. He retreated as Tako moved forward with a shield.

"They're going to destroy the last turret!"

"The minions are still way back there!"

"How much time is left for Solo Is Back to respawn!?"

[Respawn Time: 3 seconds]

"The first one who died was ForeverAlone! If he comes back, it might be a different story! Balloon Stars could all die! Then, it’ll really be over! No, it's over if even one of them dies!!!"

Bang! Bang!𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝑒𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Almond and StrawberryShooter attacked the last remaining turret.

Pop! Pop!

The poison stingers (now straws spewing water due to the Pool Party skin, but still lethal) were dealing consistent damage. The fully charged Crystals of Purity also struck the turret.

Boom! Crash!

Ran and the Poison Dart Rabbit excelled at destroying turrets.

[Twin Turrets - 2]

[Health: 45%]

The turret's health instantly dropped to slightly less than half.

At the same time, ForeverAlone finally respawned.

"ForeverAlone is back!"

"ForeverAlone! Can he stop them?!"

ForeverAlone hastily ran out and threw all his skills at Tako, who was tanking.

Whoosh!

A barrage of bombs flew out.

Tako got hit by most of the bombs, and dark smoke engulfed him. After the smoke cleared, Tako had died. The perfect combo left him without a chance to react.

[You have slain an enemy!]

[ForeverAlone → Takoyaki]

"No! Tako!? He died! Who will tank the turret now!?"

"ForeverAlone is going for Almond and StrawberryShooter next!"

"Miho needs to come out and hold him back! Just three more seconds, and Soju respawns! They can still do it since the ADC and mid-laner are still respawning!"

"But!?"

Thud—!

Suddenly, something struck and shocked ForeverAlone from the side.

"Wh… BubbleGum?!"

"ForeverAlone got hit by Iron Ball?!"

Bubblegum collided with ForeverAlone and briefly lifted him into the air.

On top of that, Miho also activated Aqua Room. This crowd-control ability temporarily imprisoned ForeverAlone in water.

"Miho also attacked with Aqua Room for CC!"

ForeverAlone became busy fighting those two and couldn’t stop Almond and StrawberryShooter anymore.

[The enemy's turret has been destroyed!]

In the end, they destroyed the last turret guarding the enemy base. All that remained was Solo Is Back’s powerless base.

[Nexus dispelled]

The white light surrounding the base vanished.

[Nexus]

[HP: 100%]

Almond and StrawberryShooter didn't look back. They started attacking the base.

Bang! Bang!

[Nexus]

[HP: 83%]

Its health started dropping significantly. The situation was obviously irreversible now.

"Here~~~~~ the game is~~~~~" the caster slowly prepared the closing remarks.

The audience was also getting ready to cheer.

Then, right at that moment…

Boom!

"Huh!?"

[ForeverAlone Triple Kill!]

[ForeverAlone → Bubblegum]

[ForeverAlone → Miho]

"ForeverAlone! He just killed Bubblegum and Miho!"

"What an incredibly fast combo!"

"That was amazing! Let's go, ForeverAlone!"

ForeverAlone ended up killing both of them and ran toward Almond and StrawberryShooter.

"Can ForeverAlone somehow stop them!?"

[Nexus]

[HP: 53%]

The base still had over half its health.

"Balloon Stars needs to keep hitting the base!"

"Will ForeverAlone kill them first! Or will the base explode first!"

At that moment, Almond suddenly aimed toward ForeverAlone.

[ForeverAlone]

[HP: 20%]

He only had 20% of his health left thanks to Miho and Bubblegum.

"Huh?! Is Almond aiming at ForeverAlone?!"

Before the casters could finish, Almond already released the bowstring.

The Crystals of Purity shot out.

Whoosh!

"If that misses, it's over!"

"Ran has a cooldown, which makes each shot priceless!"

It would be such a troll if Almond failed to kill ForeverAlone.

At the crossroads of victory or defeat, the Crystals of Purity burst forth with a refreshing sound of water.

Boom!

[LazySoldier is Legendary!]

[LazySoldier → ForeverAlone]

"ForeverAlone is dead!?"

"Did Almond do it?!"

"There we go! That's our Prince of ADC!"

ForeverAlone had died.

It seemed like Almond said something, but all the cheers drowned him out. Almond turned back to the base.

Victory was within reach.

[Nexus]

[HP: 22%]

They were close to destroying the nexus. Once Ran finished charging…

"Soju! Soju's back! He needs to run!"

"This...!"

Soju's Terrorist respawned and rushed over, but…

Snap!

StrawberryShooter fired a blinding shot at him. At the same time, Almond shot the final Crystal of Purity.

Following that, cheers erupted from the crowd.

— Wowowowowowowow!!!

Big blue letters prominently appeared in Balloon Stars’ cheering section.

[Victory]
