Glory [e-sports]-Chapter 235: Canyon flower butterfly~

Under such explosive damage, the elemental shaman who didn’t yet have a resurrection totem was really unable to protect his teammates.

Otee’s spirit mage had reacted quickly enough. He had movement skills so he tried to escape the attack range of these two thousand layers of clouds. However…

Brother Cai had already set out a ‘roadblock’. Otee was already in a panic, so how could he have noticed the power thief’s ground stab? He stepped on it and was pulled back by Brother Cai after triggering the trap.

Originally, he’d been just at the edge of the thousand layers of clouds and may have been able to survive with a sliver of health leftover. But now he was pulled straight into the core damage zone, and the double layers of DPS landed on Otee’s head, beating him silly.

Their health plummeted, and they instantly fell into a seriously injured state.

After that, their screens went dark, and the system announcements rang out.

FTW.Quiet killed IN.Otee.

Congratulations to FTW.Silvery for a double kill.

Brother Cai…

Oh, not only did Brother Cai not die, he even got three assists.

Originally, IN had thought that they would definitely be able to get three kills in this mid-lane battle and fatten themselves up explosively. Unexpectedly, they hadn’t even taken any kills when the other team’s ultimate move smacked them in the face, dealing heavy damage to them instead.

What was more suffocating was that the shadow thief returned to the top lane after taking the silver dragon and used his light arcs to forcibly bypass the tower, sending away IN’s top laner swearing as he returned to the fountain.

The audience was completely immersed in this joy. It was their home game to start with, and now the cheering rang out endlessly.

The headphones that the contestants wore had a noise reduction and soundproofing function, and such sounds generally couldn’t be heard clearly.

However, these cheers were too loud, and the audience was too enthusiastic. The bit of sound that flowed into their headsets made the IN team’s hands sweat.

They could hear the cheering even through their noise cancelling headphones. What was the scene like?

This was what teams feared most when they fought away games.

It would undoubtedly aggravate their sense of psychological pressure.

If the players from IN could hear it, then FTW could naturally hear it too.

The fans cheered excitedly, filling the three little ones with fighting spirit and making them wish they could fight another round.

Only Wei Xiao’s heart felt a little astringent.

Three years, three full years.

As the only player from the China competition zone on the stage in the finals, Close had to face such a scene.

In a strange competition zone, on a lonely stage––

He had killed others, but no one had cheered for him.

Only when people killed him had the entire audience screamed.

Fortunately, there were many people by Close’s side this year.

He had teammates, had someone who loved him, had someone he loved, countless fans, and the whole China competition zone.

This year, it definitely wouldn’t be Close standing alone on the global stage!

Wei Xiao breathed in, then said to Ning Zhehan, “Once.”

Just now, he’d killed Otee once. He’d said he would kill him 15 times.

He would do what he’d said.

Ning Zhehan’s hands were all warmed up. “Come here, Brother Xiao!”

The soul warlock was too magical. He always had the feeling that brushing out a thousand layers of clouds was easier than usual with his attachment.

It wasn’t Ning Zhehan’s illusion. It really was easier.

If there was a slight flaw, Wei Xiao could make up for it, and if there were any kinks, the soul warlock could smooth it out.

The audience only saw the dazzling thousand layers of clouds, but they didn’t notice the really terrifying things that the soul warlock could do.

––A real support could help their teammates play out 200% of their strength!

After reaching level 6, Brother Cai retired triumphantly and became a well-behaved toolman.

Ganking?

No need, he just needed to provide vision.

Clearing the jungle?

He didn’t dare, he didn’t dare. He would just wait until the soul warlock was attached before going near the jungle zone.

Support the marksman to help him develop?

It wasn’t necessary. The soul warlock just needed to use attachment, and the warlock’s support was much more stable than his.

Brother Cai became a toolman, and Wei Xiao became a butterfly.

––A butterfly that flew all over the canyon.

The audience went crazy with laughter when the commentator carelessly used this adjective.

It was too graphic and vivid. It was on point.

Just looking at this little lunatic’s rhythm was dizzying enough, okay!

The jungle zone had only just refreshed when the soul warlock attached to the power thief, sweeping through fiercely and clearing out all the farm. Then, he turned and went straight to the mid-lane!

Wei Xiao didn’t hide when he arrived. He stopped just short of telling Otee directly that Laozi was there to kill him.

Otee was using the spirit mage. The spirit mage was very flexible, and he could practically travel across half the map when he used his combo. But no matter how flexible he was, he couldn’t stop himself from being surrounded and suppressed by two immortal warlocks.

He might be able to hide from one thousand layers of clouds, but how was he supposed to hide from two?

What’s more, these two people were able to stagger their spells!

Although the soul warlock could use the skills of the talent it was attached to, the direction of the skill would depend on the direction that the attached hero faced. This actually made it a little difficult to operate when teammates had some directional skills. It was especially the case when it came to stacking up marks to brush out tricks.

The first time when they brushed out thousand layers of clouds at the same time, Otee’s scalp was numb, but he was also quickly thinking up countermeasures.

IN’s support: “Avoid fighting. As long as the thousand layers of clouds falls down, the first thing you should do is leave the attack range of the skill!”

Otee: “Got it.”

This was a very good on-the-spot response. Although they weren’t familiar enough with the soul warlock, they weren’t completely unfamiliar with it.

They couldn’t use it well, but they could still try and be prepared for its attacks.

Otee had also been convinced that they couldn’t stagger the casting of the spells. Coupled with the high flexibility of the spirit mage, he could slip away first whenever he saw Ning Zhehan start stacking up for a thousand layers of clouds.

Although he would lose some of his lane soldiers and his defense tower might get worn down, it was still better than sending himself up to be killed.

When he was dead, he wouldn’t be able to maintain his soldier lane and defense tower either!

Otee knew enough about the immortal warlock and it wasn’t difficult for him to avoid the thousand layers of clouds, but…

Who would’ve thought that when the first thousand layers of clouds ended, the place where Ning Zhehan landed would be just at the edge of the outer tower, and another thousand layers of clouds would follow? Otee had already used up all his skills and could only run…

Like hell could he run!

The soul warlock had the highest farm in the game, and his equipment was better than Ning Zhehan’s. When he released his damage, Otee would be dead again.

The thousand layers of clouds were really flashy, and it made the audience at the scene eager, their hands itching to play.

The fans in the live broadcast studio were more direct. They turned on their computers for a game and soon came back wailing, “What the hell, and they’re even doing thousand layers of clouds? Who can tell me how the soul warlock directs its skills?!”

“Fortunately, I didn’t play a ranked game. Otherwise, I’d have been suspended from the game with these crappy results!”

“Wake up, fellow brother, don’t lose your head from watching and send out heads!”

Wei Xiao’s soul warlock was known as the canyon flower butterfly, while an ordinary player’s soul warlock was disdained by thousands.

The gap was so wide that it was really humbling.

IN’s mid-lane collapsed completely. After Otee died four times, it was like IN’s center of gravity was set in the middle lane. Their support and jungle practically settled down in the bushes in the mid-lane. They had lost sight of all else and just wanted to kill Wei Xiao once. No matter how much they sacrificed, they would make a profit as long as they could kill him!

Unfortunately, while they had acted impulsively, Wei Xiao was very calm.

Fifteen kills, there was no rush.

3:0 and the head count. He couldn’t fall short on either one.

IN’s jungler and support stalked the mid-lane, thinking that Wei Xiao would come to kill Otee, but Wei Xiao had already gone to the bottom lane.

IN’s bottom lane had been constantly trying to develop. Although he wasn’t suppressed by Yue Wenle, his development had constantly been very thrilling.

In the current situation, the top, mid, and jungler areas had all collapsed. If he didn’t remain stable, then they would have no way to fight.

The gun launcher was a talent that could hold up against the storm hunter. IN’s marksman tried his best to snatch up farm, thinking that they could retaliate in team fights in the later stages.

Unfortunately, the butterfly came.

Yue Wenle had been waiting for a long time. “I’m going.”

Wei Xiao clicked on attachment. “Yeah.”

At this time, the gun launcher still didn’t know that the soul warlock had come to the bottom lane. Three of the players from IN were still lying in ambush in the mid-lane waiting for Ning Zhehan and Wei Xiao to show up.

Who could’ve known…

The gun launcher: “Damn it!”

After cursing, he moved as far as he could and hid behind his tower. Unfortunately, raindrops had already covered most of the bottom lane like scattered stars.

Having seen Wei Xiao’s thousand layers of clouds, the gun launcher didn’t doubt that he could step on raindrops!

Besides, stepping on raindrops was a bit easier to operate than a thousand layers of clouds. As long as Yue Wenle could cover the area with rain, then the two of them could advance together. Even if the soul warlock’s basic attack didn’t deal as much damage as the storm hunter, the damage from the skill alone was enough to make him suffer.

They were all c-positions, and they were all squishy. Who could bear this kind of damage!

By the time the three people from IN who were stalking the mid-lane realized that the bottom lane was on fire and wanted to teleport over, the power thief sent out a ground stab.

Otee: “!”

Did they really think that the canyon only held Little Lunatic Wei? The jungler king vegetable that had been ‘used and abandoned’ after level six was very angry.

The light for transmission hadn’t yet landed. The three from IN didn’t succeed in leaving, but Close had already arrived one step ahead of them and appeared at Bai Cai’s side.

FTW’s double thief, give it a try.

Had they ever seen a thousand layers of clouds paired with nine light arcs?

A wave of special effects broke out in the middle lane, and the two people in the bottom lane stepped on raindrops like the stars in the sky were upside down!

The director was a little overwhelmed. The holographic projection could only focus on one field of vision at a time, but these two had started brushing out their ultimate moves at the same time! Which side should they show!

Finally, they focused on the mid-lane.

The thousand layers of clouds that looked like falling snow coupled with the domineering light arcs really was like something from a dream. If they didn’t ensure that everyone could see enough of it, then the audience would stir up trouble.

Though, they were already kicking up a fuss now.

“Bottom lane, bottom lane! I want to see the raindrops fly!”

“Yue Wenle’s skin is really good looking. The stars are shining, it’s too beautiful!”

Of course, there were also those who were obsessed with the mid-lane. “I’ll fight with anyone who dares to switch the perspective. The great demon king is so handsome, I want to marry him, I want to marry him every day!”

“Speaking of which, Wei Xiao has never used attachment on Close in this game…”

“Close cleared out the top lane on his own. Wei Xiao didn’t need to go there at all.”

“But I really want to see double light arcs!”

“Wait a minute, can we look forward to seeing double nine light arcs?”

“I’m not demanding a double nine, but one eight and one nine shouldn’t be a problem!”

“Calm down, calm down, the effectiveness of the soul warlock’s skills have been halved. Wei Xiao’s nine light arcs aren’t that stable, so at most it’ll be a nine and a seven?”

“I don’t care! As long as it’s double light arcs!”

“We saw two nine light arcs from opposing teams in the casual player competition, but we’ve really never seen double light arcs from the same team.”

“Although IN players aren’t human, fellow brother sisters, I feel a bit of heartache for them right now…”

IN’s tragedy was really tragic; in fact, it was extremely tragic.

It was likely that IN had never dreamed that their first game in the globals would play out like this.

It wasn’t a big deal to lose, and they’d thought about losing 3:0.

But they’d never expected that they would be hammered so badly like grandsons!

They lost face in front of the whole world. Otee regretted it so much his heart and intestines were splitting apart!

Two lanes blew up at the same time.

IN was wiped out!

The players from IN felt sweat run down their backs as they looked at their dark screens.

Those who hadn’t experienced it personally really didn’t know what it was like.

The battle of freedom had turned out like this…

This was like the most absurd type of nightmare.

Was it over?

Not yet.

The game had only been going on for fifteen minutes, and they had to endure even after their mentality had collapsed.

There was no suspense in the match. The audience’s focus shifted from winning to losing to the shadow thief and the soul warlock.

“Q Cub! I’m begging you! Quickly use attachment on your captain!”

“The great demon king needs you, little butterfly, don’t fly around everywhere. Quickly take a look at Close.”

Wei Xiao certainly didn’t know what the audience in the scrolling comments or the arena were saying.

He didn’t plan to simply win the game, and he wasn’t just waiting to see how many times he could kill Otee.

He had to use this difficult-to-come-by opportunity to adapt!

Adapt to Ning Zhehan, Yue Wenle, and Bai Cai.

On the contrary, there was no hurry with the captain.

He didn’t need to get used to Close’s shadow thief, because he already was familiar.

FTW pushed forward the whole way and IN was forced to fight team battles. In the last wave of 5v5 fighting…

Lu Feng: “Come here.”

Wei Xiao’s lips raised up slightly. He pressed on his ultimate move and selected the shadow thief.

When the faint light and shadow covered the shadowed thief with his scarlet cloak, the live audience and the audience in the live broadcast all exploded at the same time.

“It’s coming, it’s coming!”

“Double light arcs! Damn it! FTW’s inherited shadow thief!”

“Hurry, hurry, I’ve already turned on my screen recording!”

They lived up to these expectations, this trust.

Shadow attack, backstab, side attack. These two sets of skills went out like floating clouds and flowing water, as though the operations were all handled by the same person!

They rose up and fell in synchronized movements. The stacking marks couldn’t be differentiated, and their damage was unceasingly within their control.

They entered as shadows, but came out with rising light arcs!

When the double light arcs lit up the canyon, it left everyone stunned.

They couldn’t tell it apart.

They couldn’t tell it apart at all.

How many arcs were there?

Exactly what kind of damage had been dealt?

At this moment, the audience who were watching the scene only had these words in their mind––

Like the scorching sun shining in the sky, giving off infinite glory.

FTW! Badass!
