Chapter 33: Use Piercing Darkness on Her!
“Shy bro, Wink, find an opening and go in together,” Cheng Xian said over voice chat.
Once they committed, it would be the perfect moment for his Blitzcrank to make his grand entrance.
Even if he emerged from the shadows and was spotted, it would already be too late. Senna, armed with Glacial Augment, would stick to him, leaving him virtually no chance to escape.
“Okay.”
After witnessing Cheng Xian’s earlier plays, the two bot laners agreed without hesitation.
Wink deliberately exposed an opening.
He stepped forward as though he meant to chip away at their health, but deliberately missed a crucial W.
Panicking, JKL tried to retreat, only to be caught by Morgana’s casually tossed Q and rooted in place.
Under normal circumstances, JKL might have taken a moment to think it over.
But the overall situation was already looking grim.
“Sorry, but I’ve still got one!”
Grinding his teeth, JKL pressed E—Spell Shield.
W—Overload!
He twisted his body and brushed against Senna’s Black Mist.
Another Flash forward, with his professional career riding on it!
The rapidly spinning chakram in Sivir’s hands slammed into Senna.
The opportunity seemed to have arrived!
He and Zhuo instantly turned on Senna. Their burst was so overwhelming that she was reduced to a sliver of health in barely a second.
“Give me a shield! Give me a shield!” JKL shouted, eyes wide.
Then, it would be IG’s turn.
“Shy bro! Use Piercing Darkness on her! Your damage won’t be enough if you don’t shoot through her!” Cheng Xian yelled.
“Damn it! This bastard hooked me!”
The Black Shield vanished at that very moment.
Two hundred yards.
That glimmer of life left JKL in utter despair.
“Brother Xian, catch this! It’s my last skill!”
Cheng Xian timed it to perfection.
Blitzcrank’s metal fist crashed down, knocking Morgana into the air.
And it was that tiny sliver of health that allowed Senna to withstand JKL’s deadly basic attack.
As Wink shouted, he pressed E—Curse of the Black Mist.
“Die!”
JKL’s vision froze.
IG’s Shaqima had nearly gone berserk!
“Whew.”
Cheng Xian lightly pursed his lips and blew a breath of air, lifting the loose hair from his forehead as he chuckled.
A basic attack!
His team’s vision still had not revealed Blitzcrank’s position.
JKL reacted with lightning speed. The moment his Q came off cooldown, he hurled the chakram in his hands.
At that instant, a gigantic twin-barreled cannon was raised onto a slender shoulder.

By then, Blitzcrank was charging over in long strides, his Boots of Mobility carrying him at full speed.
But in the very next instant, Zhuo’s startled cry rang out beside him.
Before Senna, that seemingly dilapidated old steam-powered machine suddenly erupted in a vast cloud of white vapor, its speed skyrocketing.
Looking up toward the sky, one might almost have glimpsed the mysterious darkness beneath Morgana’s fluttering skirts.
Although Blitzcrank was facing Sivir, he feinted one way and struck the other. His Rocket Grab flew straight toward Morgana, who had failed to dodge in time, pulling her precisely into his arms.
Blue-white light burst from the gun muzzle, illuminating Senna’s cold face.
E, then basic attacks!
Within TES’s vision, a hulking yellow-brown iron shell came hurtling out on a jet of steam.
Aim at Sivir. Fire!
Morgana, with neither Q nor E available in the early game, was practically a lamb waiting for slaughter.
The attack dealt damage while restoring a small amount of health.
TheShy had been holding onto a Q, intending to steal the kill, but Cheng Xian saw through him on the spot.
As everyone knew, Blitzcrank had taken Dark Harvest.
The female voice of the game system let out an astonished cry.
A lush green radiance erupted from Senna, and her health surged upward.
Sorry, but we’re running a double-shield composition.
If they killed Senna instantly, the fight would become a two-versus-two. They might even have a chance to escape.
And an AP Blitzcrank’s basic-attack damage was pitifully low.
Yet somehow, Morgana was smashed to death by a single punch from Blitzcrank, dying on the spot.
Fifty yards.
Senna’s death was not important.
That tiny detail became the forbidden fruit that lured TES’s bot lane duo into continuing the chase.
A deep-blue shield shimmered like rippling water.
Lucian followed up with his damage.
“Don’t panic. I’m here.”
TheShy used Heal at the very last possible moment.
W, then basic attacks!
That was precisely what countered Blitzcrank!
“This kill is mine,” TheShy declared, baring his teeth in a confident grin.
But a team fight without Senna’s Glacial Augment was a very different matter.
“TheShy!” Wink shouted.
Senna, with nowhere left to retreat, had burned through every card in her hand. Exhausted, she withdrew toward the safety line.
Their only hope lay in the bot lane.
Just as everyone believed TheShy was about to claim the kill—
One hundred yards.
Cheng Xian lightly tapped his E.
Combined with Blitzcrank’s basic attacks, the burst instantly stripped half of Sivir’s health.

The bot lane had been suppressed throughout the early game, leaving them almost no opportunities. Now, at last, Senna revealed an opening. She missed her Q, and her position was slightly too far forward.
A basic attack!
Senna’s Q—Piercing Darkness!
Morgana’s health bar was reduced to a thread.
To avoid having to burn Flash before dying, Zhuo simply gave up on making any further plays. He took both hands off the keyboard and let the two men have their way with her.
Faster—another surge of speed!
The top laner had already died twice, while mid had been ganked once more.
Damn it! Why does this guy even scheme against his own teammates?
————
The instant the Black Shield disappeared, Blitzcrank’s Rocket Grab shot out with perfect timing.
Senna drew the Black Mist from her massive twin-barreled cannon, forming a storm of war fog that enveloped her allies and granted them a measured boost of movement speed.
TheShy: “...”
He had used every trick at his disposal, yet still failed to kill Senna, who was clinging to a sliver of health.
Another basic attack!
Then Lucian slid forward from behind.
As the two of them crossed the mid-lane push line—
Everyone knew that once Lucian finished casting his abilities, he could follow up with basic attacks.
Zhuo understood immediately and cast Morgana’s E, placing a purple barrier over him.
“Your basic-attack damage isn’t enough,” TheShy was just about to say.
Wink guided Senna into a rapid retreat, yet still did not press Flash.
“Magic, heed my call!”
The cold mechanical voice rang out as Blitzcrank instantly closed the distance to Sivir.
“You came all this way, so you should have just taken the kill. Giving it away is far too polite of you.”
The Holy Gun erupted with dazzling radiance, firing a straight beam of piercing light forward.
“Damn it!”
JKL realized something was wrong and tried to trade his life for Senna’s before she could escape.
Between Lucian’s two rapid shots, he slipped in one basic attack.
But to his surprise, the yellow iron shell did not use a single ability.
It simply walked forward, attacking all the way.
Dejectedly, he pressed Q.
