Chapter 73: Turning the Tables

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Escaping with ‘Destiny’ is one of the key techniques to mastering Twisted Fate. But when Twisted Fate ran into that bush just now, he was on his last HP. That golden card came out just in time—hold on, hold on… never mind that for now, it looks like Twisted Fate is still up to something.”

The MC had been planning to go over Yu Luocheng’s astounding escape-plus-kill again, but then he noticed that Twisted Fate was now forging through the enemy’s jungle.

Slipping out of the river, he snuck towards the bush near the enemy team’s Ancient Golem… but then he stopped short, some distance from it.

He slung out a fan of multi-colored Wild Cards, which whistled sharply through the air as they disappeared into the brush.

“Argh!” A pained cry emerged from the tall grass!

“Double Kill!” A system notification suddenly rang out.

Even the MC was stunned by this, as the view zoomed in on the spot where the incident had occurred. “What happened? Was someone else hiding in there?”

In all the chaos of that last battle, Xin Zhao had made it out just one step short of death. Most people hadn’t bothered to keep track of him.

“Xin Zhao! It was Xin Zhao! Double Kill! With almost zero health and mana, Twisted Fate miraculously secures himself a Double Kill!”

Still reeling from that brilliant escape which resulted in Leona’s demise, this unexpected next kill had the crowd shouting at the top of their lungs!

Team Scarlet hadn’t had any wards in that particular bush, and when Yu Luocheng used Twisted Fate’s ultimate skill a moment ago, he’d immediately used it to teleport over to Leona—Xin Zhao’s position would only have been revealed for a split-second.

After slaying Leona, it had occurred to Yu Luocheng that Xin Zhao wasn’t too far away from where he now was. It had been quite likely that Xin Zhao, having spotted the wounded Twisted Fate arriving nearby, would have tried to launch a surprise ambush from the brush, in the hope of taking his head.

So it had been entirely on purpose that he’d moved over and sliced a Wild Card across that patch of brush—and sure enough, rather than Recalling back to base, Xin Zhao had been coming for him.

“No way, no way! Under such unimaginable pressure, using only his razor-sharp wits and lightning-fast skills, Twisted Fate has picked up two kills off of Team Aviator. Not a minute ago, he was running for his life from Ashe!

“With a golden card, an ulti, a Lich Bane attack, and a prescient throw of his Wild Cards, he’s completely turned the tables on this fight!”

“Three deaths for four kills… Team Scarlet are the winners of this team fight!” The MC’s voice rang out through the hall. From the moment Yu Luocheng had managed to escape from Ashe, the crowd had started cheering non-stop—now they cheered even louder!

On his last HP and with zero mana left, Twisted Fate hobbled off to safety. It felt like watching a decorated war hero returning home at last. Having witnessed his impossible feats of valor and prowess, the crowd looked upon him with eyes full of fervent admiration.

Or, as Wang Qin would put it, “So damned cool! He’s way cooler than the gods!”

“Beautiful! Absolutely spectacular!” Yin Qin rose from his seat and roared this to the heavens.

If you’ve never known the taste of despair, it would be hard to understand the sheer elation inundating Yin Qin’s whole body at this moment.

At that time, when Yin Qin himself felt certain Team Scarlet had lost, he’d sat slumped in his chair, all the color draining out of his world.

But not a moment later, with just three skills and one basic attack, Yu Luocheng’s Twisted Fate had created a miracle, reversing the state of the whole game!

His head hanging in shame, Huang Yu looked up now, not daring to believe the change in the score.

As an AP player himself, he’d also tried his hand at Twisted Fate a time or two, but he’d always felt that the champion’s damage potential was sub-par, lackluster.

And yet, after watching how Yu Luocheng had escaped death with a golden card and an ulti, and then followed that up with multiple kills, finally escaping to safety with two dead in his wake… Huang Yu now felt like Twisted Fate could become one of his favorite champions!

More than that, he was overcome with awe and admiration for the player controlling Twisted Fate right now!

The way he vanquished enemy champions with Twisted Fate, it was like watching a performance art: graceful and serene, yet at the same time absolutely breath-taking!

“Yo, push, push! Huang Yu, hurry and push the lane!” Xiao Tongtong and Xiao Dao were shouting at him, jolting him from the daze he was in.

The moment Kayle fell, Huang Yu had stopped playing, not knowing what to do with an Evelynn who hadn’t even attained Level 6.

However, now that the enemy team was down by four people, and Ashe was currently down in the Bottom lane, hunting in vain for Twisted Fate… why, right now the Top lane was like a slut with her legs spread wide open, inviting Huang Yu into her forbidden depths!

His hand was heating up and quivering on the mouse. This feeling was too much to contain!

A 4v5 team fight ending in a four-for-three trade. Team Scarlet had come out one kill ahead.

And now he could even take down two Top-lane towers in a row, granting them the economic lead!

Huang Yu’s mouse whizzed this way and that, firing off Evelynn’s skills. His teammates Xiao Tongtong, Xiao Dao, and Xue Haiyang would see their champions respawning in a moment, but the players themselves were already clicking their mice in anxiety.

They’d won the team fight, which meant that they hadn’t lost the game yet!

“What sorcery is this! They’re at a 4v5 disadvantage, but Team Scarlet is pulling ahead in gold!

“I’m sure you’re all well-aware that Evelynn’s financial situation is a moot point, so we’ll only consider the other four players of Team Scarlet. Most of the gold is concentrated on the main carries, Kayle and Twisted Fate, and with Evelynn pushing the lane and knocking down towers like this… even four-against-five, Team Scarlet might not be the ones to fall, this game!”

Four against five, and they weren’t losing! When the MC said this, the entire hall roared with excitement!

It was supposed to be a hopeless, one-sided game. No one had been expecting much. Certainly, no one had expected such a jaw-dropping sequence of events, such that a 4v5 victory was beginning to seem possible!

If they really won, against those odds, this match would go down in history!

Of course, the star of this show was none other than Twisted Fate.

All eyes were on the screen now—on Twisted Fate. Everyone was looking forward to seeing him do something even more incredible next. With a graceful flick of his cards, perhaps he’d wreak even more carnage the next time!
