Chapter 331 - Left the Game!
331 Left the Game!
The attentive viewers would realize that although Anti-Mage did not return to base, he was still cutting off the creep line!
If they grouped up for a push, they could not afford to leave someone behind to protect the creeps. Therefore, the Sun Nation could only keep the creeps they had at the moment in their push. If those creeps died, they could only start it over.
Furthermore, Anti-Mage was not only cutting off the creeps on one lane but all three lanes!
With the Blink ability, he could quickly clean up the creeps on all three lanes and even had spare time to clear some creeps in the forest.
When the five people from the Sun Nation painstakingly brought the creeps to Y-God’s high ground, the creeps on the other two lanes were pushed up to their high ground by Anti-Mage.
Moreover, the Sun Nation’s team still had to put up with Coold’s group retaliation. The painstakingly escorted creeps were quickly cleared up by Coold and the gang while Anti-Mage led his creeps to wreak havoc in their high ground.
“F*ck! Back down!”
Reluctantly, they were forced to retreat. All five of their hatred against Anti-Mage reached its peak as they ran straight up to the top lane where Anti-Mage was at.
However, just when they reached the top lane, the opponent’s Anti-Mage had already gone to their bottom lane and had continued his reckless demolishing of their high ground.
The versatility of the Blink ability was too overpowering. Others needed to walk over step by step, but he could easily arrive with just a few Blinks. The gap was way too big. Furthermore, with the Battle Fury, he could clear creeps quickly. The synergy could be considered a bug at this point. As long as Ye Lingchen felt like it, he could even lock down the creeps from all three lanes at the Sun Nation’s high ground, keeping them inside the base.
The Sun Nation’s team felt helpless and had to split into two parties. They sent Earthshaker and Ancient Apparition to guard the bottom lane.
Earthshaker angrily slammed a Fissure toward Anti-Mage.
However, it was that Fissure that gave Ye Lingchen the opportunity. He immediately teleported up to Earthshaker’s side and started attacking him with full force.
Ancient Apparition, who was beside Earthshaker, quickly aimed its spells at Anti-Mage, but the spells were evaded by Anti-Mage using Manta Style. Three Anti-Mages were chasing after Earthshaker in a frenzied assault.
Earthshaker’s Fissure was still under cooldown and could only resort to his ult. Just as Earthshaker raised his hand in the casting animation, it was forced to stop halfway because his mana ran out in that short amount of time.
Anti-Mage’s clones similarly inherited the Mana Break effect. With three Anti-Mages, one attack from each of them was 180 points of mana. Earthshaker’s total mana was only slightly above 600 points. It was no wonder that it was burnt away in an instant.
Tssk, tssk tssk!
Every strike hit its mark. Earthshaker turned into a useless manaless bull. All it could do was run, yet it was taken out by an ult from Anti-Mage.
Anti-Mage’s ult caused AoE damage, bringing Ancient Apparition’s HP down by a big chunk. All three Anti-Mages immediately turned their attacks on Ancient Apparition.
By then, the other three members from the Sun Nation finally arrived in a hurry. Before they could muster a response, Anti-Mage used Blink and teleported far away. Leaving the poor Ancient Apparition to be chased by two mirror images, chopping him to death with normal attacks.
[Double Kill!]
[Y-God is on a killing spree!]
A resounding voice boomed from the announcement. The viewers remained restless with a dreamy expression on their faces.
Strong! He was just too strong!
Nobody expected the publicly denounced Anti-Mage to be this strong. It was almost on the point of being overpowered.
Ye Lingchen laughed. He maintained a leisurely pace in his speech from the beginning and calmly said, [Battle Fury is an item that makes a qualitative change on Anti-Mage’s ability to farm. Once Anti-Mage gets a Battle Fury, I would rate its farming speed as number one in the entire DOTA! Meanwhile, Manta Style is an item that makes a qualitative change in Anti-Mage’s fighting ability. Not only would Manta Style increase Anti-Mage’s survivability, but it could also inherit the Mana Break ability, therefore increasing its damage on the enemy. It plays an important role!]
[That’s amazing. I never dreamed that Anti-Mage could be this strong.]
[You might not believe it even if I told you. I’ve always believed that Anti-Mage was only slightly better than a creep.]
[Y-God is awesome. Seems like his statement of Shadow Fiend being his worst hero is true. From him, I can see the physical representation of a lonely expert.]
[No hero is truly trash. It just depends on the player.]
[Wahaha, what Death Quintet? They’re just some braggarts. Now they’re just chasing behind Y-God’s butt like some dogs. Wahaha...]
[So disgusting. How can Anti-Mage be that disgusting in Y-God’s hands? Especially that Mana Break. At first, I thought it was just a useless skill since Anti-Mage could hardly hit anything. Now I finally know how disgusting this skill can be!]
Regardless of the hero, they all depended on their skills. If their mana were burnt away by Anti-Mage, how would they fight? Should they just trade blows with Anti-Mage?
With that farming speed, Anti-Mage once again obtained a new item—Heart of Tarrasque.
To put it simply, Heart of Tarrasque was to buff tankiness. It could greatly increase one’s max HP. Furthermore, outside of combat, it gave a two percent HP regeneration per second, greatly increasing the recovery speed.
[Brother Y-God, you’re so cool. Wu’er loves you to death!] Wu’er screamed out loud in an exaggerated manner with a shaky voice.
[Boss, you’re...too OP. Nobody played Anti-Mage like this before, yet you managed to play it this well. How did you do it?] Love Letter asked in awe.
[There’s something called talent. There’s no point getting jealous over it.] Ye Lingchen replied with a laugh, then added, [You guys should come over quick. Let’s end this quickly.]
The tides suddenly turned around, it was Y-God’s team of five with their creeps before the base, getting ready to push for the Sun Nation’s high ground.
Ye Lingchen did not let Coold lead all five of them in, but instead guarded right below the high ground. He moved Anti-Mage onto the high ground by himself and attacked the tier three towers while ignoring the others.
Met with Anti-Mage, all five from the opposing team immediately went for an all-out attack, throwing all sorts of skills toward Anti-Mage.
By the time they painstakingly took out two-thirds of Anti-Mage’s HP, Anti-Mage disengaged from the fight with just a Blink and ran away. After that, thanks to the Heart of Tarrasque, it quickly came back to full HP and continued its assault on the tier three towers.
That maneuver was really trollish and almost caused the team of five from the Sun Nation to vomit blood. It could not be helped as Anti-Mage’s items were too luxurious. Even if he stood unmoving, it was difficult for them to kill him—it was seemingly an impossible feat.
Difficult growth early in the game, crazy creep farming mid-game, then finally baring its fangs late into the game and turning into an unstoppable force. The hero Anti-Mage was deeply imprinted in the minds of many viewers.
‘So Anti-Mage is this strong. That’s how you play him.’
“What should we do? What should we do? Aren’t the five of you elites amongst the professionals? Why can’t you handle one game host?” Wang Yuan was no longer smug and proud, but instead sweating bullets in fear; his entire body was shaking.
“Relax, he can’t win!’ The Death Quintet’s faces turned extremely dark. They exchanged looks, showing a hint of viciousness in their eyes as they momentarily went to their desktop to run a software.
The next instant—
[Coold has left the game!]
[Love Letter has left the game!]
[Wu’er has left the game!]
[09 has left the game!]
