Chapter 197.2: There was no rule stipulating that a jungler couldnt protect a support. (2/2)
The holographic projection accurately displayed this scene for the audience.
The phantom thief’s thin figure stood there like shards of broken glass, shattering in front of Bai Cai’s white-garbed priest.
Bai Cai: “!”
Wei Xiao’s health plummeted. He’d originally been at half health, and his health instantly dropped down to a critical state.
Bai Cai’s scalp was numb, his hands moving faster than his brain, wanting to heal him.
No, wait…
He wasn’t a holy priest, nor was he a light priest, nor an elemental shaman. He was an apocalypse priest who didn’t have any heals.
Brother Cai panicked. “Old Wei…”
Wei Xiao’s phantom image flew out again. He controlled the puppet warlock who was close by, and he smashed the rest of the damage he could deal out onto his body.
System Announcement––
FTW.Quiet killed 3U.Night.
3U.Night killed FTW.Quiet.
Wei Xiao and Cong Yi had killed each other off!
A support position had taken away a jungler position. 3U had done great!
Bai Cai exploded. “Old Wei, what are you doing, how could you…” How could you block the damage for me as a jungler.
Asleep, who was on the other side, was stunned as well.
Suddenly…
Wei Xiao’s rambling voice echoed inside his heart, “Although it’s a support player’s duty to protect his teammates, no one has ever stipulated that a jungler can’t protect their support.”
There was no rule stipulating that a jungler couldn’t protect a support.
There was no rule stipulating that a jungler couldn’t die in place of a support.
There was no rule stipulating that a support had to be the one who was sacrificed!
Wei Xiao saved Bai Cai.
This wasn’t a decision made unreasonably, nor was it done out of impulse. This was the best judgment, made after considering the big picture and understanding the situation.
Sacrificing a phantom thief in order to maintain the perfect combination of apocalypse priest and longbow druid.
Wei Xiao released the mouse and spoke languidly, “Old Yue, Brother Cai, it’s up to you guys now.”
Bai Cai: “……… F*ck!”
The Book of Revelations lit up, and Advice fell onto Yue Wenle’s body. The longbow druid who now had double the damage shot through Xuan Long with a single arrow.
After that came a round of absolute slaughter.
The deep sea domain disappeared, and the apocalypse priest’s blessing fell down from the sky. The four remaining players from FTW were bathed in this holy light and charged at 3U.
Li Chun fell.
Wen Wei fell.
Asleep killed Ning Zhehan, but couldn’t avoid Yue Wenle’s longbow.
The sound of arrows flying rang out one after another, and the group fight ended.
System Announcement––
FTW.Le quadrakill!
Another quadrakill.
Yue Wenle proved his strength in the marksman position with his terrifying DPS.
The blue team’s crystal exploded, signaling the end of the game!
FTW won the national semi-finals with a 3:1 score!
Enthusiastic cheers broke out at the scene, for this final, wonderful competition, for the group fight where everyone fought to the death, for Cong Yi, for Wei Xiao, for 3U, and for FTW!
For these young people who’d brought this fantastic fight to them, but also for the way their struggle all the way until the last second had made their blood boil!
The commentator’s voices were loud, and the atmosphere in the whole arena was brought up to an extreme peak.
The contestants pulled off their headsets. Wei Xiao blinked at Brother Cai. “Badass, Old Bai.”
The rims of Bai Cai’s eyes were red. “You f*ckin…”
Wei Xiao stood up and looked across the stage at 3U.
They’d lost the game, lost this season. The five players from 3U were in a bit of a trance.
It didn’t feel real.
Was it the end of the season, just like that?
Had they come to the end here?
Li Chun burst into tears, and Xuan Long and Wen Wei, two old contestants, also couldn’t quite recover their senses.
Cong Yi looked straight ahead and didn’t say anything.
Until……
A cold but raw youthful voice rang out over 3U’s headset, “Sorry.”
It was Asleep.
Everyone in 3U was stunned.
Asleep’s voice trembled, but it also held unprecedented firmness, “I didn’t protect all of you well.”
As the captain, he’d always been the one living under his teammates’ protection.
