Chapter 140: A Flash of Lightning!
On the big screen at the venue, Thresh's one hook shocked countless people.
"Perkz was caught! He immediately ulted to try to escape, but was pulled off the wall by Mikyx's flash + god hook!"
"Oh my god! Mikyx!!! He's absolutely the key man! If SPY can win this game, he will undoubtedly be the MVP!!"
"Perkz went down!!"
"Uh oh, G2! It feels like we might lose Baron this fight!!"
Sure enough, after killing Perkz, SPY's five members rushed straight to the river to take Baron.
G2's four surviving members quickly rushed over.
During the tug-of-war, Mithy's Braum was hooked by Mikyx's Thresh and died.
"Mikyx! Again Mikyx! Thresh, which was useless last game, has now become G2's death sentence in his hands!!"
"As fellow M-surname supports, Mikyx's performance in this match is like Madlife and Mata possessing him dual‑godly, while Mithy keeps feeding deaths!!"
"Island is also being chased and poked by Kobbe! Kobbe's damage is very high, and with Karma's speed boost he keeps dealing damage; even an Ekko with damage items can't withstand it!"
"Island was forced to use his ultimate to go back 4 seconds! Although safe, an Ekko without his ultimate diving in is dead!"
"It's over!!!"
"G2 only has three people left, all squishy, and they absolutely can't stop SPY!!"
"Now we're really going to lose Baron!!"
After driving away all of G2 that appeared in vision, SPY continued to take Baron.
The venue erupted.
Some cursed, some roared, some cheered……
Amid the commentators' loud shouts.
The entire venue's atmosphere was blazing to the extreme.
Those wearing high‑performance noise‑cancelling headsets on the stage player seats couldn't hear any of this; inside the headset there was only a quiet rustling, as if cut off from the outside world.
Liang Yan sat in the second position from the left on the left side of the player stage, his face under the camera pure and clean, calm as ever. He hid on the high ground of the river jungle behind the Baron pit, cleared all vision that SPY had placed, and then began closing his eyes to throw spears into the pit.
The reason he throws with eyes closed,
One reason is that he has no vision of the Baron pit. Liang Yan still has a control ward on him, but he doesn't want to place it because it would be instantly destroyed, a pure waste.
Another reason is that SPY aren't stupid either; knowing Nidalee's damage is high, everyone tries to stay positioned under Baron's shield, using Baron as a block against Nidalee's poke, and with Karma's shield even if Nidalee occasionally lands a hit, it gets negated.
But Liang Yan isn't in a hurry either.
Even at this moment, he has no trace of anxiety or panic.
The barrel (Gragas) has no ultimate, and even if he did, he might not think of placing a ward to gain high‑ground vision when Baron is low, then using his ultimate to blast someone away and finish with Smite to steal Baron—such a delicate play.
So no matter what, Liang Yan still has a chance to duel Smite.
As for how to know Baron's remaining HP,
for Liang Yan it's also simple—one part is calculation, another part is that Nidalee's spear and hook are very convenient scouting tools.
At 27:55, Liang Yan threw a second hook into the Baron pit.
"Six thousand health! Under the ferocious fire of the big‑mouth sky‑fat, Baron's HP drops extremely fast! It's already down to less than half!"
"Firrrrrre gained brief vision via the hook! He saw Baron's HP! It looks like he's going to duel Smite! But SPY don't want to give him that chance, directly sending Wunder's troll to chase him away!"
"Wunder stepped on Nidalee's trap while passing through the triangular grass patch! One trap took off over three hundred HP—this damage is indeed high!"
"But Wunder didn't retreat; his job is to chase Firrrrrre away, he presses forward relentlessly! He charges at Firrrrrre!"
Ding ding ding!
Liang Yan pinged attack three times on the troll's head.
One Q cast, then he lunged forward!
"Firrrrrre went in directly!!"
"His teammates aren't nearby, but Zven gave long‑range support with an arrow!"
"And Firrrrrre's damage is incredibly terrifying!"
"An 18‑level jungler versus a 14‑level top laner, and he also took a potion plus five god items, raising his AP to over four hundred! One full combo left Wunder already at low health!"
"Wunder also didn't expect that his semi‑tank troll with two and a half tank items and a large chunk of health could barely survive one combo! After the pillar blocked Firrrrrre, he just wanted to run!"
"Firrrrrre reverted to human form, dropped the hook, and kept chasing!"
"Wunde recklessly stepped forward! Firrrrrre chased and auto‑attacked once, but due to the slow he couldn't keep up—yet Zven's arrow arrived!!"
"What a pity!!"
"The magic crystal arrow missed!!"
"Wunder only has a sliver of health left!! Can he even escape?!"
"If Firrrrrre really wanted to chase, he could surely kill him, but he didn't; instead he threw a spear toward the Baron pit! It hit Baron directly!"
"A Baron Nashor with 1,600 health!"
"Sencux auto‑attacked twice more, leaving over 1,400 health; all of SPY stopped damage output, letting Trashy handle the last HP, but!"
"Firrrrrre flashed down!!!"
Whoosh!
Nidalee's silhouette vanished from the wall edge!
The next moment, claw shadows slammed heavily in the Baron pit!
At the same time, a golden bolt of lightning descended!
With the roar of thunder, the massive form of Baron Nashor was being vaporized!
Yet that earth‑yellow shadow, swift as lightning, had already disappeared from the Baron pit!
At the same moment, right after the Baron kill notification appeared, came the report that Wunder was slain by Nidalee!
SPY everyone was dumbfounded on the spot!
What thing appeared with a swoosh, then disappeared with a swoosh!
Where's the dragon?
Gone!
Where's the person?
Left!
Where's Wunder?
Dead!
How did that happen?
Couldn't see clearly!!!
Even the professional players present couldn't see clearly, let alone the commentators on stage; after a brief silence, PiraTechnics shouted in utter shock:
「Oh!My!word!!!
「Whathappened!!!
「ItsGONE!Jeez!!!big dragon instantly disappeared! person also ran! what exactly happened just then? !!」
「Didn't see clearly! I only know for sure that Firrrrrre took the big dragon! 」
「Nonsense, everyone can see he took the dragon, but damn how exactly did he take it? Anyone saw it clearly?! It was so fast! He was practically a bolt of lightning!! 」
