Chapter 246.2: A very light ticking sound could be heard. (1/2)
editor: apricot
Wei Xiao double kill!
The bulk of his damage had landed on AA, but Yue Wenle’s combo had been aimed at VIVI. The weak mage who didn’t yet have his ultimate move was sent home after shooting out three beams.
“Wonderful!” Commentator Brother Mouth spoke quickly: “FTW cooperated perfectly in this wave. Bai Cai started up the fight, accurately bypassing Mo to control AA. Wei Xiao is worthy of being an old teammate of his, and his damage was on point. The two of them reacted so quickly that it was as though they started at the same time. On the other side, Yue Wenle was calm and silent, his flying arrows stabbing at VIVI. Although VIVI was able to deal a huge amount of damage before he died, scraping away Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle’s health, it was FTW who won a double kill first. Only Mo and Gary are left alive from L&P, and two fists can’t beat four hands. They…”
The commentators couldn’t keep up with the speed at which the situation changed. The swarm of people who’d originally been killed by FTW suddenly turned into a counter attack in the next second!
Two of his teammates were dead, but Gary didn’t show the slightest intention of shrinking back. He locked onto Ning Zhehan with a scythe, then used a basic attack to take away the fire mage’s remaining health.
After killing, his passive ability was triggered, and the berserker thief who entered a berserk state was like a bloody phoenix, burning up everything in his path.
Another scythe went out. Yue Wenle shifted positions, and Bai Cai gritted his teeth to step forward, taking the hit for him.
The berserker thief didn’t hesitate and pulled Bai Cai over, beating him to half health.
Bai Cai’s heart pounded like crazy. “F*ck him!”
He didn’t really need to speak. Yue Wenle and Wei Xiao had already focused their fire on Gary.
Mo used his physical body to block the damage for Gary. He was already at half health, but he still found an opportunity to control Yue Wenle. Brother Cai was also no longer the salted fish he’d been in the past. Although he was being passively beaten up, he wouldn’t miss any opportunities. He used his own control skill and landed it on Gary’s head.
Although the skill hadn’t yet gone out, Wei Xiao could already see the results. “Not bad, Old Bai.”
The skill would definitely land. Gary was done for!
And almost at exactly the same time, Wei Xiao tossed out all the damage he could deal in Gary’s face the moment Gary was locked into place. They watched as Gary’s health bar dropped like a roller coaster, but then a very light ticking sound could be heard.
Wei Xiao: “!”
Bai Cai heard it too. “F*ck, the space-time prophecy!”
That ticking sound was the sound of time, the sound of a stopwatch moving from zero to one, and it was a crucial second.
The space-time knight had reached level six!
He’d managed to rush to the dragon pit at the very last second and given his space-time prophecy to Gary!
The space-time knight’s ultimate move––space-time prophecy.
To explain, this skill had two effects. One effect was that it allowed players to turn back time to two seconds ago. It was targeted at skill cooldowns. For skills that had already been used which were on cooldowns for over ten or even dozens of seconds, as long as time was turned back, they could be reused immediately.

The other effect was that it would return a player’s health back to how it had been one second ago. If it was used well, it was like bringing the dead back to life.
These two effects needed different trigger mechanisms. The reason why the space-time knight was always left on the bench was that this mechanism was too difficult to control.
No matter how strong the skill was, professional teams would consider it very weak as long as its stability wasn’t good enough.
The high yield was accompanied by high risk, and gambling for one or two seconds was fatal in a rapidly changing battlefield.
Obviously, Yuan Ze had it under control.
He arrived as fast as he could and triggered the health recovery mechanism, putting it into play just one second before Gary fell to the ground. If he’d been just a little earlier or later, then it wouldn’t have been effective at all.
Gary, whose health had fallen abruptly due to the burst of damage, resurrected on the spot!
He didn’t need his skills to go back in time. The berserker thief in its berserk state already had cooldowns that were almost nothing. The scythe danced, and locked onto the immortal thief’s throat.
Wei Xiao sucked in a breath. “Old Yue, run!”
Anyone who managed to survive was better than none. Each life was worth something.
Brother Cai quickly gave Wei Xiao a shield, attempting to save him.
Wei Xiao felt his body go cold when he saw the shield on his body, but he didn’t say anything. He’d always known where Brother Cai’s problems lay, but this wasn’t something that could be changed. Or, it should be said that there was no need to change it.
In emergency situations, Bai Cai would only believe in him.
At the most dangerous point, his instinct was stronger than his mind, and he would first attempt to protect Wei Xiao.
There were disadvantages to this. For example, it was absolutely impossible for Wei Xiao to live at this time, so Bai Cai had given out his skills for nothing. It was better to give them to Yue Wenle.
There were also advantages. Why did Brother Cai protect Wei Xiao so carefully? Why did they have such tacit understanding in their jungler support linkage? Why was their combined rhythm so strong? It was because of this belief.
There were advantages and disadvantages, but the advantages generally outweighed the disadvantages.
There was no absolute beauty in the world.
Gary killed Wei Xiao and locked his next scythe onto Bai Cai.
Brother Cai let out a breath of relief. At least they’d saved Yue Wenle. But then…
Yue Wenle: “F*ck!” He’d managed to pull away from Gary while seriously injured and close to death. Originally, he’d thought that he could survive. Unexpectedly, a countdown appeared above his head––the countdown mine.
Yuan Ze had managed to hang a mine on his head at some unknown point in time!
The mine exploded two seconds later. Even if Yue Wenle had left the center of the battle, he still had no way to escape this damage.

Two seconds wasn’t enough time for him to return to the fountain.
