Volume One, Chapter 8: Brothers, I’m Done for This Round!

“Hahaha, Captain Wang’s playstyle seems a bit aggressive.”
“It’s just a little over four minutes in, and he’s already standing right in front of the enemy’s second turret, cutting off the minion wave.”
“Moreover, Galio doesn’t dare to make a move against him at all and can only send frantic signals requesting backup to Xin Zhao!”

At the commentary desk, watching Wang Yaozu’s audacious behavior, the commentator from Longguo laughed heartily, seeing no real threat to his Sion. After all, Xin Zhao on the opposing side also needed to farm jungle monsters. If he kept trying to gank Sion repeatedly, the success rate was uncertain, and just in terms of jungle efficiency alone, Yang Tianzhen of the Qilin team was far ahead.

“Hmph, it’s just temporary bravado.”
“Once our top lane and marksman from the Samsung team develop a bit, your Sion, no matter how well farmed, will just be a moving punching bag for our carry!”

The Korean commentator retorted defiantly, fully aware that Galio was at a clear disadvantage in lane against Sion, but only Galio could hold on until their dual carries had grown strong. Then, victory for the Samsung team would be within easy reach!

However, for the Korean commentators and fans, their hopeful fantasies were starkly contradicted by the harsh reality unfolding in the game.

At exactly five minutes, seizing the opportunity when Sion went to cut the minion wave again in front of the second turret, Xin Zhao successfully collaborated with Galio to secure another kill on Sion.

Galio, protected by the turret, miraculously survived with a sliver of health, barely escaping Sion’s grasp.

But what shocked Park Crown and all the Korean viewers was that at the moment Sion died, with the death of a single red minion, Sion’s level shot up to six first!

As the barely alive Galio cleared the blue minions beneath the turret and began channeling his recall, a thunderous boom suddenly echoed from the direction of the blue team’s fountain.

Before Park Crown could fully process what was happening, his vision caught sight of Sion charging toward him like an unstoppable war machine, bristling with murderous intent!

It was Sion’s level six ultimate, Brutal Charge!

“Damn it! How did he get here so fast?!”

Park Crown cursed, trying to immediately cancel his recall and dodge.

But it was too late.

With Sion’s ultimate forcing a sudden stop and detonating his Soul Furnace, Galio’s last shred of health vanished without a trace!

The Undead Juggernaut Sion had slain the Justicar Galio!

……

“Xin Zhao is ganking Captain Wang again. He definitely won’t survive this time, but I wonder if he can take Galio down again.”
“Ah, so close to taking him out, just a sliver of health left. What a pity.”
“Huh? Why hasn’t Galio recalled yet? If he keeps clearing the wave, Captain Wang will respawn soon.”
“Captain Wang is back! Galio’s recalling! Captain Wang’s ultimate is up! Will he make it in time?”
*Boom!* “Hahaha, who would have thought that as soon as Captain Wang’s Sion respawned, he picked up a kill and evened his score at 2-2!”

At the commentary desk, the Longguo commentator was beaming with pride and confidence.

In contrast, the Korean commentators wore pale expressions.

“Park Crown’s decision not to recall immediately was the right call. If he hadn’t pushed the wave out, he would have lost at least one turret plating when Sion respawned.”
“But he was careless about where he chose to recall. Even standing behind the turret to avoid Sion’s ultimate would have been better.”
“If he dies here, Galio’s turret will really suffer.”
“Feels like they’ll lose at least two layers of plating.”

The Korean commentators could no longer boast. Although the Samsung team maintained lane advantages, the lack of kills kept their lead limited.

On the other hand, despite Sion’s 2-2 scoreline appearing mediocre, his lane dominance over Galio had reached a terrifying level!

“One strike! Two strikes! Three strikes!”
“Eighty! Eighty! Eighty!”

Unaware of the Korean commentary’s chatter, Wang Yaozu, standing on the divine arena, was fully immersed in the authentic thrill of sieging a turret, clearly enjoying himself immensely.

Watching the minion wave near death under the turret, glancing at the incoming Galio, and then noticing Xin Zhao returning behind him, attempting yet another “two-two-three-four” attack, a crazed smile spread across Wang Yaozu’s face.

“Brothers, I’m not surviving this wave. I’m giving up this life.”
“Life is precious, but plating is more important!”

Hearing this sudden declaration from Wang Yaozu shocked not only his Qilin teammates but all the viewers from Huaxia.

To sacrifice himself just to take turret plating?

This Captain Wang is playing… way too freely!

The Justicar Galio had slain the Undead Juggernaut Sion!

Soon after, combining with turret damage, the Samsung team’s mid and jungle duo secured another kill on Sion.

Yet Wang Yaozu felt no regret, only joy.

“Taking plating! Taking plating!”
“I just love taking plating, hehehe!”

As the zombified Wang Yaozu furiously battered the health of the red team’s middle lane turret, he chuckled gleefully.

When his zombie finally collapsed, the fourth layer of plating gold from the turret transformed into a shimmering stream and flowed into Wang Yaozu’s pocket.

“Damn it…”

On the Samsung side, as another wave of blue minions approached, Park Crown’s expression darkened to the extreme.

Though he finally secured a kill, somewhat recovering from the economic deficit, seeing the reckless Sion charging in made it feel like no matter what, he was at a loss.

At that moment, a blue whirlwind suddenly appeared on the blue minions, and Park Crown’s face turned even grimmer.

He knew clearly what that blue swirl meant—it was Sion’s summoner spell: Teleport!

“Damn it!”
“Teleport! Ghost! Ultimate!”
“How does this Sion have so many ways to get back online so quickly?”

At this moment, Park Crown’s mindset utterly collapsed.

He finally understood that no matter what, his middle lane turret could never be defended again!
