Chapter 365: Sword Comes: [Sword from Beyond the Heavens]!
The Roaring Emperor at the home-field commentary desk breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, the Rift Herald wasn't lost; both sides still have a chance for a second round of contention!"
"A lineup that picks Renekton absolutely cannot accept losing the Herald. Likewise, as long as the Herald hasn't fallen, V5's double-marksman bot lane won't be able to quickly break the first tower and start their tempo, so the tempo remains in DK's hands!"
Although the LCK didn't expect the fourth seed DK to be able to stop V5, they certainly didn't want to see a one-sided trend.
The good news is that the previous skirmish was only a two-for-three trade, and the Herald has not yet been taken.
In the next wave, both bot lanes will reach level six. Given how stubbornly both sides fought last time, there is a high probability of a 5v5 decisive battle at the Rift Herald.
Approaching 11 minutes.
Both sides have their ultimate abilities ready, and everyone has set off once again.
"Although Yone has great items this time, Renekton also has a Goredrinker. This team fight feels hard to win."
Guan Zeyuan looked distressed: "To be honest, K'Sante is truly clunky in this patch. We actually saw it in the last wave; it's very hard for K'Sante to restrict the opponent's backline from the front."
"If we could swap to a champion like Aatrox or Jax in the top lane for this game, it feels like the restriction on the backline would be much greater!"
After he finished speaking, he helped explain: "But there's really no choice. The jungle environment in this patch makes it very hard to play big carries like Kindred. Since the top lane isn't picking a combat-oriented position, the mid and bot lanes must have a big carry."
Remember also expressed agreement: "And the most important thing for a double-marksman combo is relying on the pushing position to create an item gap. If they can't get an item gap, the front line definitely isn't as strong as a tank support engaging. Perhaps this is why V5 has always wanted to forcibly contest this Rift Herald."
"Hmm? Is Master Ye trying to ambush Renekton!?"
With positioning almost identical to the last wave, both sides seemed to be reenacting their positions from two minutes ago one-to-one.
But from the spectator's perspective.
A Yone had quietly detached from the main group below, sat on a Blast Cone alone to reach the fork in the blue jungle, kited the Gromp to stack his Q whirlwind, and arrived at the path behind the wall.
Seeing K'Sante following him again, Siwoo, young and hot-headed and already feeling stifled in the laning phase, wanted to turn around and fight back.
However, the moment he moved.
Someone on the bank suddenly slashed down with a whirlwind!
"Yone is here with me!!"
Renekton activated his ultimate, Dominus, and then tried to use E to pull back.
But K'Sante, having teammates help with the initial crowd control, steadily used a short-charged W to knock him back, then used his R without hesitation to shove him back.
Although he couldn't shove him over the wall to the tower, he nearly interrupted the opponent's E skill, making it difficult to instantly create distance.
Yone dashed forward with his E, hacking wildly; the damage from having Kraken Slayer was truly astonishing!
"We're coming!" ShowMaker shouted urgently for backup: "Kite and maneuver!"
Renekton was indeed maneuvering. After being pulled back, he first used Q to stack fury. The moment his fury bar passed the halfway point, he immediately turned his blade red and slammed his red-fury W onto the Yone in his face!
Yet, Siwoo's seemingly detailed play—not panicking and dumping all his skills at once, but deliberately waiting for the red-fury W to restrict the much higher-damage Yone—
———instead became the "flaw" captured by Ye Bo!
Renekton's W is theoretically a control skill with zero wind-up; it's impossible to dodge based on reaction.
But Ye Bo had been staring at Renekton's fury bar. Seeing it reach the red threshold, he directly "predicted" it and used his second E to return to his original body!
Renekton's W was still swinging in place.
And Yone, having returned to his body, had already flashed to force the pursuit!
"Yone's E skill predicted and negated the control at light speed, and he even flashed to pursue!"
".Renekton's W seems to have controlled himself!"
"The last wave was V5's top laner being out of sync; this wave, DK's top laner was actively caught out of sync by Master Ye. Is there a chance to kill Renekton first!"
Although Renekton's stats and durability were solid enough, facing the frantic strikes of a Kraken Slayer Yone, he looked unable to withstand it.
He didn't dare to linger and ran with all his might toward his teammates.
The DK members chased desperately, wanting to rescue him.
However, at this moment———the three people behind V5 were also keeping their distance and following closely, seemingly ready to engage at any time!
The battlefield seemed to have been cleverly separated.
But at this moment, the support Poppy suddenly made a move, turned into the dragon pit, and placed a Control Ward to block vision.
"Master Ye, be careful! Poppy might ult!" BeryL saw the opponent's intention.
Clearly, Delight wanted to use a long-range ultimate to knock up the opponent to save Renekton, while simultaneously knocking away the others, then immediately counter-engage.
However.
Ye Bo, who also sensed the opponent's movement, seemed to have a new idea.
"Light up the dragon pit for me, you guys keep chasing!"
Hearing the command, Jarvan IV directly placed his [Demacian Standard] from a distance, using the flag to forcibly break through the Control Ward's blockade and gain vision inside the dragon pit.
In the DK voice comms, someone was also shouting excitedly.
"I can knock Yone! You guys get ready to counter-engage the ones behind!"
Delight specifically took a corner step into the dragon pit, intending to strike without vision, but didn't expect to be directly caught by the opponent.
But he had already seen that Yone had previously used E to negate Renekton's W, his Q3 had already been used, and he had also used Flash to pursue; clearly, he no longer had the ability to negate control.
Just as Yone was pursuing Renekton and about to reach the edge of the Baron pit wall, Poppy flashed out of the pit and charged up a hammer strike!
"He hit him!!!"
"Engage the ones behind!!!"
Although Poppy saw what seemed to be a flash of red dust sword aura before his eyes, the fact that Yone was flying into the air was already reality.
Renekton also seemed to have saved his life, enough to hold on until he converged with his teammates.
Vi, who had feigned a rescue, suddenly used her ultimate to lock onto the head, and Malzahar immediately flashed to suppress Jarvan IV, not giving him a chance to counter-attack; the coordination of the mid-lane duo blossomed.
Peyz's Kalista decisively used her ultimate to pull Poppy back from a distance, then turned and flashed to throw her!
The three people pursuing from V5's rear were directly knocked up by the triple knock-up because their positions were already close!
"Yone was knocked away, so it seems V5 is the one who is out of sync!!"
"K'Sante alone can't kill Renekton, and these three look like they can't do much either..."
"WHAT IS THAT!!!!"
Just as the Korean home crowd was about to erupt, seeing DK's four members execute a perfect turn-around counter-engage that seemed about to destroy V5's rear three———
They suddenly saw a burst of red light overflowing in the "sky," and a sonic boom roar came from high above.
Then.
Beside the skyline, completely beyond the screen.
A "Sword from Beyond the Heavens" appeared out of nowhere!
A majestic sword light descended from the sky, completely covering the four people who had just formed an angle!
[Fate Sealed]!
The atmosphere of space seemed to freeze for an instant, and the bodies of the four DK members were lifted high.
Jarvan IV, freed from the control of Nether Grasp, immediately followed up with E-Q-R to skewer all four, Varus fired his Chain of Corruption to tightly cover everyone within it, and Caitlyn deliberately placed a Yordle Snap Trap at Malzahar's feet.
In an instant, the situation reversed completely!
Screams erupted throughout the venue.
"Not here!?" Guan Zeyuan was so shocked his voice cracked: "What is going on!!!"
"DK was engaged on by Yone from a thousand miles away! I didn't even see where Yone was! Where did he come from!"
Remember also excitedly shouted along: "Strictly speaking, he actually engaged on five people. Yone was still fighting Renekton above, and then directly 'teleported' to the front battlefield!"
