Chapter 126: Normal Match (3)
The jungler walked around with their shoulders slouched. They were playing as the champion, Mad Axe Murite.
"What a strange thing to happen."
Normally, Murite could quickly kill monsters and would already be Level 3. However, he just reached Level 2.
The reason was that the Lazy Soldier ADC picked Raina without hesitation and stole his monster. He didn't know how she killed the monster so quickly. Seeing how quickly the wolf died, he thought it was a bug.
'What was that?'
As a Silver player, it was the first time he saw a jungle monster die so quickly. And Raina's account was Level 1. He couldn't figure out what was going on. Is that what talent looked like?
'Nah.'
Even in videos, he had never witnessed speed like that. Maybe JeonJaPa...
"Hey, Jungler. I think I should go now," said the support roaming with him.
"Huh?! What are you talking about?! I'm only Level 2! Your ADC took my jungle monster!"
"So I helped you get to Level 2. If this 1v2 continues, the bottom lane is screwed."
"Sigh."
The jungler, Murite, was in a tough position. If this continued, he'd continue to fall behind the enemy jungler. He could already hear his friend, the top laner, scolding him in the back of his mind.
'Does our jungler... not have a..?'
He was stressed thinking about it and couldn't contain his rage.
"See if I ever gank bottom... fuck..."
"Haha..." the support laughed and turned around. There was nothing he could do.
'If I don't get there quickly, the ADC will die.'
Lazy Soldier's account was Level 1, which meant the player was a complete beginner. As Raina, she was able to kill the wolf quickly, but still lacked game experience. If the 1v2 pressure continued, she'd quickly die.
"Okay, then I'm going to go. Whether you gank or not is up to... huh?"
The support stopped in their track.
[First blood!]
[Lazy Soldier -> DobyObey]
Lazy Soldier? Wasn't that the Raina? The ADC that went alone?
"Huh? Isn't that our ADC? How did she get first blood alone?!" Murite shouted. He seemed more excited.
"Wow... you're right. Is the other team throwing?"
[Double Kill!]
[Lazy Soldier -> Daaang]
"?"
"...?"
The jungler and support looked at each other. It was a 1v2 situation, but Raina pulled off a double kill. How could this happen?
"What's going on?"
"What the... she can't be a smurf..."
"Is she abusing a bug? She has the word lazy in her username too, so I can imagine it."
"Hmm... You're right..."
The two tried to understand the situation, but imagined what they couldn't see. They just needed to continue and do their jobs.
"Ah, hey. Help me jungle a little more then. Bottom lane is already won anyways."
"... Alright," the support nodded.
There would be no one even if he went to the bottom lane.
***
Did the ADC get angry because his support died? The enemy ADC charged forward without thinking. The enemy ADC was a gun-wielding champion called Paul. Paul was blonde and wielded a shotgun.
He tried to fire the shotgun… but as soon as he entered Almond's range, the targets around him exploded and he died.
[Double Kill!]
"What the. I died."
Right now, every shot Demien took was like a shotgun shot. He died much more quickly than the sorcerer who died before him. It was thanks to the combo Almond stacked up earlier.
— The two suddenly died?
— ?!?
— What did I just witness?
— ????
— That's crazy.
— Raina is OP as hell!
— I want to be Almond's towel.
— Wow
— Look at his movements!
— ??? 1v2? So a free double kill?
— Almond is crazy! Almond is crazy! Almond is crazy! Almond is crazy!
— Moooooom! Look at Almond! Moooooom! Look at Almond!
There were countless messages in the rising chat. Almond won a 1v2 fight in his first match. Even surviving would have been impressive, but he achieved a double kill. Raina couldn't help but be impressed as well.
[As expected of my summoner.]
She couldn't find any more excuses for Almond's talent. The play proved his skills.
— Suddenly 'my summoner.'
— He's hers now, LOL
— What's with the sudden change of attitude haha
— What happened to the 'cold-blooded archer'?
— Is this... the life of an alpha male?
Thanks to his play, he received many donations.
[JHL has donated 1000 won.]
[What did I just witness…?]
[ArtOppa has donated 5000 won.]
[Wow! Almond... so good!]
[RubySword has donated 10,000 won!]
[Do you see this? This is Almond! LIL bros!]
[KAF CEO has donated 10,000 won!]
[This is because of Kingdom Age, you losers!]
He received four donations in a row. It was the most he got after he started playing?LIL.
"Thank you, Camel, ArtOppa, RubySword, and KAF CEO for the donations. But this is Raina's bow."
— Raina's bow, LOL
— That's true
— Yeah, it's not from Kingdom Age.
— Kingdom Age fans think they raised Almond...
— Kingdom fanboys are hilarious.
The chat became a little brighter. Almond was relieved.
'There's more viewers...'
[Current Viewers: 8.1k]
He suddenly had 8000 viewers and even saw new usernames in the donation lists, which meant he had new viewers. These viewers were here to watch him play LIL. It was a good sign that there were more viewers like these. For a variety steamer, it was important to have a variety of viewers.
"T-That guy killed our summoner!"
"Kill him!"
He aggroed the soldier minions. They would normally fight each other, but targeted the enemy champion if they attacked their allied summoner. Almond easily cleaned up the minions charging at him with the bow.
Since he could easily kill champions with his combo hits, the minions were a breeze.
'I have quite a bit of gold.'
Since he also killed all the soldier minions, he had some gold in his pocket. Almond checked the death timers of his enemies. They would revive in five seconds.
He had to quickly go back to the base and buy some items.
"Alright, I'm going back to the base to buy some items."
To recall, all he had to do was stand still without engaging in combat. Then the skill activated on its own.
[Recall]
Wooong…!
The recall took around five seconds unless it was interrupted by an enemy.
But, there were no enemies near Almond because they had all died.
***
Thud.
He came back to the base. From here, Almond bought an item that Raina suggested.
"Huh? Mr. ADC!"
He met his support.
"Ah, Mr. Support. You're here," Almond happily greeted him.
The support seemed like a decent guy. He was responsible for helping the jungler from falling off in the game.
"Yes. I helped the jungler a little bit more since you got a double kill."
"That's good."
"Now, we should go together."
"Yes."
"But how did you do that earlier?"
"Sorry?"
"Not only did you kill the wolves in an instant, but you also got a double kill as well. Did the enemy throw?"
‘Throw?’?Almond momentarily thought about what that meant and realized the support misunderstood the situation. 'Ah...'
The supporter found it hard to believe that Almond killed two enemies alone because he was only Level 1.
"Uh... The enemy screwed up. It seems like they got cocky because I was alone."
Instead of explaining what happened, Almond gave a simple explanation and headed toward the bottom lane.
"Ah, they must've dived under the turret."
Diving under the turret meant the champions dived in to attack their enemies while being protected by the turret. The turret’s damage was powerful, so a small mistake could be detrimental.
"Yeah, something like that."
— LOL true. It's called Almond Dive.
— Yeah. Acting cocky in front of Almond is basically diving.
— It's so cute that the support is so innocent.
— Imagine the support's face when he sees the replay.
The support believed him because even if Almond was a beginner, killing two enemies under the turret was easy.
"I see."
"Yes, I got lucky."
"Good work. Now, it'll be way easier! Let's go to the bottom lane!"
The support ran with Almond to the bottom lane with a big smile.
Shortly afterward…
***
[Double Kill!]
Almond quickly rolled in and annihilated two enemies.
"H-Huh?!" the support couldn't keep his mouth closed after seeing Almond’s mechanics. "...You said you killed them because they dived you?!"
"Haha... Let's just get the turret."
"W-Who are you?!"
"Let's get the turret first."
— LOL poor guy
— Explain it to him!!
— The support looks like he wants to talk to you, haha
— It's just business...
— Is all you care about money, Almond!?
Because the two enemies were missing, the bottom lane's first turret was destroyed quickly.
Crumble…!
[Your team has destroyed the first turret!]
[Extra gold is awarded.]
[Level up!]
As a result, his champion level grew to Level 6. Now, he could use the ultimate ability.
***
"Then fucking gank with us!"
Meanwhile, the enemy team was fighting.
"Are you guys fucking nuts? You guys lose a 1v2 and expect me to gank? You think I just have time on my hands?"
The jungler, who needed to help every lane on the map, was arguing with the bottom laners, who died twice in a row.
"You're saying that because you haven't seen this guy!"
"STFU. How can you guys talk after being solo-killed by Raina, twice?!"
"So come and gank! Why aren't you coming when he's alone?! He's actually insane. It's like he's hacking!"
"Shut the hell up. Then make the lane gankable or something! It's just two corpses there the whole time. Do you want me to set up a funeral or something?"
Even the top liner who recalled chimed in, "Kya! You're correct, mighty jungler. Instead of ganking those idiots, come to me!"
The top liner didn't care about the game's outcome and randomly called for the jungler. Nobody understood the sorcerer and the ADC's frustration.
Brrr...
The bottom duo was frustrated.
'This guy is actually insane! He's a monster! We need to stop him now!'
'No one believes us...'?
