Chapter 57 (1/2)

“It’s okay. The enemy’s game is strong. I should have expected him to make such a play,” said Chen Mu.

Chen Mu had gotten too used to playing casually and did not have enough experience to gauge his opponent’s true ability. Tankard was quite skillful.

Chen Mu had thought of the possibility of Tankard’s play. Chen Mu would have done the exact same if he were in Tankard’s position. However, Chen Mu had yet met a gaming master like Tankard and thought that his opponent would end up making a mistake or react too slowly.

Nevertheless, Chen Mu would not have any more room to take things easy after Tankard’s kill.

Tankard managed to secure double buffs with the death of Blind Monk, which meant that the former no longer needed to be worried about being suppressed.

He was stacked with a kill. Additionally, the buffs would now allow him to farm easier. All he had to do was to purchase a few health items and he would have a huge impact in the game.

Nevertheless, it was too late for him to catch up in CS because Chen Mu had a very big CS lead. It caused Chang Hao to panic slightly as Chen Mu never missed any CS!

Chen Mu’s kiting was pretty impressive as well, with Tankard’s barrel hitting him only once out of four or five times. It was quite the feat as Tankard’s Q range was quite large.

However, Chang Hao only had to play cowardly until he reached level 6. When that time came, Clockwork would be forced to step back. Tankard’s power spike at level 6 was a force to be reckoned with.

His Q ability scaling would increase to 1.0 while his ultimate skill ability scaling would increase to 0.9, they were considered quite high in League. All he had to do was mix in his skills with a few normal attacks and it would be enough to oneshot someone.

Besides that, Tankard had an extra kill which meant he could hit level 6 earlier than planned.

Tankard began looking for an opportunity, and Chen Mu noticed something different with his playstyle. It was obvious the player was looking for a chance to solo kill him.

Tankard had strong wave clear. In response to it, Chen Mu kept utilizing his basic attacks to hit as many minions as possible as the wave moved in a line toward him.

Under Chen Mu’s turret, Tankard was capable of poking him with his Q each time Chen Mu last hit.

There was a flash and Tankard hit level 6. However, his total damage was still not enough, and he had to continue using his Q to poke Chen Mu. Before he was able to oneshot Clockwork, he had to exhaust half of her health bar.

Chen Mu looked at his exp bar and started calculating. He had to catch up to level-6.

By the time Chen Mu had reached level-6, his health bar had dropped to a dangerous point of being an easy kill. Tankard was quite accurate with his calculations. He knew that even if Clockwork put a shield on herself, it would still be certain death if he followed up with an additional attack since she had such a low health bar. Hence, the best Clockwork could do was to go out with a big bang.

Chen Mu would activate his ultimate right when his enemy let down his guard!

The moment presented itself, and it was time for him to attack!

Chen Mu assumed that the opponent was expecting him to retreat when the former raised his hands, calculating the range and final position of his ultimate.

However, Clockwork did the exact opposite. Instead of retreating, Chen Mu stepped forward toward Tankard, Gragas.

“F*ck, his ultimate skill is a diversion!” someone exclaimed. The turn of events was an eye-opener as Clockwork slipped right past the skillshot range.

Chen Mu came closer to Tankard. Clockwork’s ball was on her head as she wound up a gigantic shockwave.

Chang Hao smiled. Clockwork’s ultimate skill had a 0.5 seconds channel duration. He had time to react even without Flash.

He retreated by casting E, planning to let Clockwork’s ultimate skill go to waste.

“He evaded it!” Chang Hao was highly experienced and knew he had enough space to escape from the range of Clockwork’s ultimate. However, he was not expecting Clockwork to Flash right after, placing a full stop to his E!

“Damn it, what sort of play is this!” Tankard retreated madly. No minions were within turret range, and he had to suffer all the damage dealt by the turret.

Clockwork immediately cast her QW combo and used their collision with one another to pin down Tankard’s fat body and make him suffer even more damage from the turret.
