Chapter 113: Strike Directly at His True Form

The question is: when Luna starts operating at full speed, even if you, Nuwa, are holding onto your first skill, what are the actual odds of hitting him?

To this, Lin Hao’s answer was: one hundred percent!

A prophetic-level prediction was triggered. In Lin Hao’s eyes, Luna’s combo sequences and his teammates' health statuses integrated in his mind, ultimately leading to the execution of his command. At the most precise moment, Lin Hao fired his first skill directly forward!

Just at that instant, Luna launched his third basic attack, soaring past Yu Ji toward him.

Jiayue, the national-ranking Luna player, had already mapped out his subsequent moves in his mind. Against a Yu Ji without Flash and a Nuwa with almost no self-preservation once closed in on, there were countless ways to dismantle them both!

Of course, the reason he was currently flying away was naturally because the red circle of Lu Bu’s ultimate had already formed beneath Yu Ji’s feet. This was clearly a moment to retreat; otherwise, being CC’d by Lu Bu would mean instant death.

However, while Jiayue’s plans were elaborate and promising, reality proved cruel.

A multicolored stone collided head-on with him. Nuwa’s first skill had activated, catching him exactly as he was about to take flight. It was hard to tell if he was knocked back mid-flight or interrupted before he could even take off, but regardless, Luna’s flying figure faltered, and he was pushed backward.

The next moment, Lu Bu burst out from his circle, knocking Luna into the air once more!

A perfect crowd-control chain!

"Well played! Focus fire on Luna!" Xiaoyu called out immediately.

Lin Hao naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip. He instantly placed his second skill beside Luna and began to aim. However, facing Luna as a target, Lin Hao didn't waste much energy on him. His gaze was fixed in the distance on the high ground, at the source of that red laser line.

Shouyue was aiming.

Lin Hao stepped slightly downward, adjusted his ultimate’s aim to ensure Luna, Shouyue, and himself were aligned, and unleashed his ultimate!

After a brief chant, Nuwa’s ultimate was released!

While Luna was stunned, Jiayue frantically tapped his ultimate, desperate to escape, but it was too late. The damage from Lu Bu’s emergence, the blast from Nuwa’s ultimate and her grid-box, and the damage from the well-farmed enemy marksman, Yu Ji, were all poured onto him!

In just a second, his screen grayed out.

"You have been slain!"

Nuwa killed Luna!

"Anger value from Jiayue +800."

"Damn, that first skill pushed me back! Otherwise, I would have had a triple kill!"

Even a battle-hardened veteran like Jiayue couldn't keep his cool. This tiny first skill of Nuwa’s had resulted in a world of difference. They had initiated this team fight, and since Yu Ji’s health wasn't great, they had a strong chance of winning. It was his own minor mistake—failing to dodge Nuwa’s first skill—that led to the failure of the assassination attempt. Especially in an exhibition match like this, Jiayue felt genuinely dejected.

At this moment, Mulan finally arrived, using Flash to follow up and target the backline. Shao Yi had been in his heavy sword stance, originally planning to defend the tower, but he hadn't expected Zhang Fei to find an opening and engage. Since the fight had started, Shao Yi naturally wanted to follow Luna’s lead. But his light sword cooldown wasn't up, and Lu Bu’s ultimate provided a protective barrier, causing his and Luna’s damage and CC to become disjointed. He entered the fray with a Flash-flicker.

However, Yu Ji didn't back down, because Xiaoyu’s ultimate was back up. When Luna had first dived in, Xiaoyu’s ultimate had been on cooldown; otherwise, she might have had a chance to outplay him. Xiaoyu adjusted her position, used her ultimate to jump backward, kicked off Mulan, and vaulted over the thin wall behind the ruins of the enemy’s second mid-lane tower, landing in the red buff jungle.

Mulan forcefully canceled his "light-speed silence" combo, took a step, and used the second stage of his first skill to follow over the wall, continuing his pursuit of Yu Ji. Tang Ran’s Lu Bu, committed to protecting his marksman, also flashed over the wall, chasing Mulan down with basic attacks.

Lin Hao couldn't do much here; his grid-boxes were... just used up. Eventually, two seconds later, Mulan and Yu Ji traded one-for-one and fell one after another.

On the other side of the battlefield, Kai was rampaging through the enemy lines. Gongsun Li and Shouyue were doing negligible damage, especially against a tank-build Kai supported by the professional support Sun Bin, who kept topping up his health. Sun Bin’s interference had been timed perfectly—a beat later than Zhang Fei’s—which ensured Kai could dive in and wreak havoc.

Nangua’s Kai had his sights set on Gongsun Li, but he was struggling to pin down the marksman, who possessed the most mobility in the game.

"Go straight for the main body!"

Just then, Lin Hao’s voice reached Nangua’s ears. In the game, beneath the high-ground tower, a halo slowly bloomed.

Lin Hao’s Nuwa had held onto his third skill for a long time, and now it was finally released!

Nangua, who had been contemplating a retreat, saw this and his eyes lit up. He glanced at the death notifications in the top-left corner; it seemed both enemy assassins were dead. If they played this right, they could end the game!

Lin Hao’s third skill was placed with surgical precision; it not only blocked the enemy's retreat path but was positioned exactly where Gongsun Li’s paper umbrella was. As soon as Gongsun Li recalled to the umbrella, he would be hit by the stun and damage of the third skill.

"Anger value from Yizheng +400."

Nangua’s Kai charged straight at Yizheng’s location. Even a top-tier KPL marksman would find this impossible to navigate. Yizheng didn't recall; he took a hit, and combined with previous chip damage, his health dropped to one-third. Sun Bin had somehow managed to attach his first skill again.

Zhang Fei was panicking on the sidelines, but no one was paying him any mind. After transforming into his beast form, Zhang Fei’s skills dealt damage and slowed, but he had lost his shield-granting ability, and with it, his capacity to protect the backline.

After Lin Hao landed, he immediately placed a newly available grid-box in a devious spot behind the tower, blocking Gongsun Li’s space to maneuver backward!

It was over.

Yizheng tried to outplay them for a few more moments, but Nuwa’s second and third skills restricted his movement too severely, and he was ultimately cut down by Kai.

In the distance, Lu Bu’s figure approached.

Ahead, a siege minion remained in the chaos with only a sliver of health. Xiao Jue’s Shouyue noticed it, and in a desperate moment, he tried to Flash forward to clear the wave.

But Lin Hao instantly tapped his first skill followed by Flash, appearing abruptly in front of Shouyue. He knocked him back with the first skill, and at the end of the skill’s path lay the grid-box he had just placed!
