Chapter 245.2: Did you ask the great demon king’s blade for permission?

The blood warrior had only unlocked his blood spike.
The immortal thief had only unlocked a two segment movement skill.
The space-time knight only had a ground mine.
The berserker thief had gone for his second skill, but unfortunately he hadn’t yet dared to release his scythe. It was unknown what he was planning.
Four top players and four powerful talents. At this moment, they were all only at level one and most only had one skill. They were like baby tigers who were still in kindergarten. They were fierce enough, but their momentum was too soft. Their back and forth exchanges were like primary school students fighting.
Oh… this was an insult to primary school students.
Primary school students had glorious grades, okay!
The blood warrior’s spike hit the space knight time and time again.
The immortal thief evaded the berserker thief’s basic attack time and time again.
The space-time knight’s earth mine hit nothing time and time again.
The berserker thief was still waiting, waiting and waiting to release his scythe…
In fact this only took ten seconds, but it gave people an illusion that they’d been fighting for a century.
Of course, the audience loved to watch this kind of thing, and they wanted to watch, but…
“Old G, what the hell are you doing! Did you forget that you unlocked your second skill?” Why was he holding onto his scythe and not letting go? Fight!
Finally…
When the space-time knight tossed out an earth mine toward the immortal thief, Wei Xiao dodged it using flexible movements.
At this time, the berserker thief’s scythe shot forth. The scythe that he’d held onto for half a century finally moved!
How well did Wei Xiao understand the berserker thief?
He understood them so well that he could get a pentakill with his eyes closed. As soon as he saw the hand gesture, he knew that the scythe was coming…
The immortal thief who had two segments of movement at the start of the game had the advantage and could easily dodge away, but…
That wasn’t right!
Wei Xiao’s pupils contracted as he realized the problem. “The blue buff!!”
The scythe was headed for the blue buff!
Old G had always had an ulterior motive. From the beginning to the end, he hadn’t any plan to kill the level one immortal thief who couldn’t even deal damage. He just wanted to take the blue buff.
However, Wei Xiao didn’t lose hope, thinking he could wait until the last second and snatch back the blue buff.
Gary was also calculating the same thing. Based on the two players’ understanding of the blue buff’s health, they would be able to grasp a level of accuracy that was within one or two drops of health…
Wei Xiao, who was slightly further away and whose skills were on cooldown, was just a tiny bit late. Gary easily took away the blue buff and turned to run away.
This bastard had come looking exactly like he’d wanted to fight, giving off an ambitious intent of taking away a double kill, yet as a result, he just went for the blue buff and slipped away!
Wei Xiao was going to explode on the spot!
Lu Feng: “It’s fine.”
Wei Xiao sucked in a breath. “Mm…”
It really was fine. Although losing the blue buff would affect the immortal thief’s jungle clearing rhythm, he definitely wouldn’t let Gary control his blue buff forever.
This so-called controlling the blue buff meant calculating the refresh time for the blue buff daddy. When the blue buff disappeared from their bodies, they would immediately come for the blue buff again. In this way, if they managed to control it well, then the immortal thief would be left without a blue buff throughout the entire game.
An immortal thief without the blue buff would have their combat power reduced by half.
Would Wei Xiao sit there and wait to die? No way!
When the blood warrior fought against the space knight, the space knight could only shrink back.
Lu Feng didn’t rush to go back up to the top lane. He first helped Wei Xiao clear out his jungle, not taking any experience and supporting the immortal thief who’d lost his blue buff.
Wei Xiao’s heart was sweet. “Captain, you’re so nice~”
Lu Feng: “……”
Bai Cai: “……”
Everyone, Wei Little Xiao, who didn’t take Glory’s Mic Explosion King seriously on a daily basis!
Things remained calm for about two minutes.
Although FTW had lost their blue buff, they weren’t in a panic because Wei Xiao soon rushed over to the other side’s red buff zone and stole away the three stone men.
He was a bit distressed about losing the buff, but he’d at least managed to recover some experience and gold.
With Close’s help, the immortal thief was in good shape by the time he started ganking.
Regardless of what talent Yuan Ze had taken, Gary would definitely go to the top lane for the first wave of attacks.
The space knight had no way to hold down the blood warrior. If Gary didn’t go and help, then the space-time knight would lose lane soldiers until it was left helpless.
Wei Xiao wanted to go to the top lane, too. However, Lu Feng said, “No need.”
Wei Xiao understood what Lu Feng meant. He could hold off Yuan Ze and Gary on his own, creating an opportunity for Wei Xiao to regain his initiative with the blue buff.
Wei Xiao glanced at the minimap and thought about the strength of the space-time knight prior to level six. He didn’t think that it would be problematic. “Okay, I’ll get the blue buff first.”
Lu Feng: “Mm.”
In fact, what Glory’s Mic Explosion King should focus on cutting was this conversation. While others wouldn’t understand their conversation, Wei Xiao could always read Lu Feng’s mind and understood everything even if Lu Feng didn’t say it clearly.
Compared with some flashy words, this kind of unique tacit understanding was even more amazing.
In the top lane, Gary’s scythe had missed its mark, but he didn’t panic. Instead, he walked forward and tried to fight with Lu Feng through basic attacks.
Reasonably speaking, the berserker thief trying to win with basic attacks against the blood warrior (even before reaching level six) was a little ambitious, but that didn’t take into consideration the space knight behind him.
Yuan Ze had complained about all of the space-time knight’s skills prior to reaching level six, but he could use them very well.
The first skill, earth mine, was chaotically accurate. It was just that Lu Feng’s reaction speed was shocking, and he could forcibly avoid it through keeping an eye out for the skill indicator.
The second skill was actually very interesting. It was a strange type of shield. By default, it would give friendly forces a significant increase in defense, but it could be quickly switched to a damage reflect type shield.
In other words, this shield had two effects when it was used. One effect was for protecting teammates, and the other was for using teammates as bait to lure the enemy.
How it was operated depended on the space-time knight’s judgement.
The third skill was a super ranged movement skill, and it was also the core skill for a space-time knight in the top lane due to its high support capability.
Its ultimate move, time reversal, allowed teammates to return to the state they’d been in two seconds ago. No matter what state they were in two seconds ago, it would revert back.
It could bring the dead back to life, reset skill cooldowns, and even clear away buffs…
Of course, professional players wouldn’t make such low-level mistakes.
The space-time knight, who only had two skills, could also play them to maximal effect.
Block damage, take the brunt of skills, and make use of his high defense to look for opportunities for the berserker thief. At the same time, he accurately tossed out his earth mines.
When it came to accuracy, it wasn’t that he was trying to hit Close, but rather, planning the misses to affect Close’s pathing.
He clearly knew that he couldn’t hit Close, and it would be a waste of time to keep trying. It was better to do the opposite and force Close to move where he wanted with the mines.
Either get hit by the mine or step into Gary’s attack range.
It was a two against one fight in the top lane, which made the audience excited as they watched, but it made Chen Feng’s heart distressed to watch.
Many things were unimaginable.
For example, he could never imagine that Yuan Ze, who was absolutely self-centered, would ‘support’ a jungler.
He couldn’t have imagined that Yuan Ze would use the space-time knight so well.
Furthermore, he couldn’t imagine if Gary in this scenario had been Close instead…
Gary’s play style had always been similar to that of Close.
Gary: “Wei Xiao’s blue buff is out.” He pinpointed the time.
Yuan Ze glanced at the situation. “Suppress Close.”
Wei Xiao had to be working on the blue buff. Instead of going there and taking a risk, it was better to pressure the blood warrior and draw Wei Xiao over to provide support.
Would Little Lunatic Wei just watch as his captain died in the top lane?
Wei Xiao was really worried. He picked up his pace as he attacked the blue buff.
Close was dealing with the two people on the top lane, but he also kept an eye on the health of the blue buff daddy.
When he was down to the last hit, Lu Feng said, “Come get the red.”
As soon as these words came out, Little Ning, who was ‘chatting’ with President V, and Yue Wenle and Caicai, who were trading blows, all paused for a moment.
Red buff?
The top-jungler zone was all about the blue buff. Where did the red buff come from?
And he told him to ‘come get it’?
Wei Xiao understood instantly. The corner of his lips curved up, and he smiled like a little fox. “’Kay.”
He pressed the transmission button and landed just when the blood warrior attacked, sending a blood cut out towards the berserker thief!
This sudden 2v2 not only made Old G jump, but even the audience was stunned for a moment.
“How fierce!”
“Exciting, exciting, the little lunatic couldn’t stand it and came to help the great demon king fight back!”
The situation changed faster than the scrolling comments. Gary tossed out his scythe and hit Close!
However, he hesitated slightly at this junction. Should he pull the great demon king over? Was this really not a trap?
The space-time knight’s shield landed on Gary’s body.
There was no need for words. Gary pulled in his scythe, bringing the blood warrior daddy to him. The scythe and blood spike shot out at the same time, special effects rising up as black gas and blood mist roiled around the two people, almost blocking out their figures.
Yuan Ze: “DPS.”
He used only one shield, but switched it back and forth seamlessly to ensure that Gary was in defensive mode when Close used his skills and that damage reflect was on when Close attacked.
Damage reflect was most effective when the other person was being attacked with basic attacks.
This wave of micro manipulation by Yuan Ze gave full play to the breadth of space-time knight.
Those who had scolded him, hated on him, and spurned him for not treating the game seriously all shut up at this moment.
This space-time knight…
Was aiming for the championship skin!
Seeing Close’s health plummet so suddenly, the immortal thief charged right in front of the berserker thief. The blood warrior ignored the space-time knight, taking the damage from his mine and resisting his damage reflect to mercilessly send out a blood cut. He took heavy damage while also dealing a serious blow to the berserker thief.
The immortal thief drew up a prison, landing four attacks in a row to send Gary, who was at half health, back home.
If the audience could hear the team chat, they would understand why it was ‘come get the red’.
Because Gary had a red buff on him.
Buffs could be transferred. If you killed an enemy, you would gain their buffs.
Old G had just stolen the immortal thief’s blue daddy at the start of the game, but he had to pay for it using his own head as well as the red buff daddy that he’d gotten for himself!
