You ain't gonna fight me? Lars wondered. Even though he no longer had the advantage of Elven Sight, Trever didn’t dare to fight bad tinued running away like a scaredy-cat. Heh, seems like ya know you got no ce against me! This gonna be a ! Oh, wait a sec here...

  Lars realized something. When the heck did he get all the way over here? The eime, he was trying to stay away from the juo disce ganks on him. Yet, for some reason, he found himself all the way over here, a short distance away from the jurance. He gonna end up in the jungle if he keeps chasing!

  No, no, no! Bad news! Lars hit the brakes. Suddenly, all the shenanigans Trever has been pulling on him made perfect sense.

  Trever didn’t just mess around with Lars with all that peek-a-boo nonsense. Everything art of this bait master pn! Slowly, but surely, Trever drew Lars toward the jungle.

  "Yo, my dude! Aron might gank yo ne!" Yuel said something like that, didn't he? Most likely, Aron was lying in wait nearby. The lion was waiting for an opportunity to leap on Lars and tear him apart.

  Yeah, that ain't gonna happen. Lars turned around and ran back to his side of the ne. He won't be baited by this nonsense ever again! Ellen has burned him enough times during the seleatch. It was unfortunate, but he gotta give up on the chase areat.

  "Okay," Trever turned around to firm the situation. "Let's see how close the kid got... Oh. Umm, wut?"

  Lars was no longer heading toward the jungle. Instead, he turned his back to Trever and casually headed toward his tower. The heck was going on here?

  Who is this kid and what did he do to Lars? This was unfathomable. Lars? Giving up on a juicy chase like that? What the actual freak...?

  "Seems like he isn’t going to bite..." Trever found it hard to breathe life into these words. That’s how alien, absurd, and uny this situation was. Lars? Not jumping on such a delicious bait? Impossible.

  "Yuel probably told him to retreat," Aron said.

  "Oh, yeah, that'd expin it," Trever hat'd make much more sehan Lars choosing to retreat on his own volition. Phew, okay. He’s still the same ol' brat. It gotta be the smarty-pants kid who is ruining my ingenious bait pn.

  With that said, Lars has been definitely pying like a turtle this match. Did Yuel order that too? Well, probably to some degree. But, in the end, it was Lars who agreed to py this way. And, he was the one who agreed to retreat in this situation instead of chasing a juicy target.

  Worst of all, Lars turned his back to Trever while retreating. It’s as if the kid had lost all i in Trever as an oppo.

  You mog me!? Trever ched his troller. You better watch your back, kid!

  Trever ain't gonhis shit slide. He turned his ba Lars's dire and fired Backfire !

  "I'm going in!" Trever announced while flying like a bullet across the ne.

  "Excuse me?" Aron frowned.

  "I'm going iiiiiin, bro!" Trever shouted. "I'll show him yers like him deserve! I'll rip that damn turtle apart, piece by piece!"

  "Have you lost it? Look at your HP."

  "Heh, one point of HP is all I his turtle ain't gonna y a single finger on me!"

  Trever switched from gun to cutss during the flight and sshed Lars with the momentum!

  "Wha-!?" Lars jumped. He heard the on and turn around to see what's up, but the moment - Trever already sshed him across the chest! Wait, wasn't Trever only trying to lure Lars toward the jungle? Where did this attae from!?

  "This ain't good, dude!" Lars reported while rolling away by instind dodging the ssh. "Trever is going super hard on me!"

  "Yeah, I see that," Yuel knotted his brows. This was an ued development. Until now, Trever has been eling his inner Ellen by adopting her “poke-and-bait” pystyle. However, once Lars showed clearly that he wasn't going to bite, Trever did a 180 and switched to full-blown aggro mode.

  "Do you think you get away alive?" Yuel asked.

  "Well, I definitely gonna try as hard as possible!"! Lars recovered from the roll and broke into a sprint. As frustrating as it was to admit, he couldn't take on Trever head-on from this range. He had to reach a safe spot first and create some distance- BAM! A shot from behind! Trever has already switched back to his pistol and fired!

  Dang it! Lars couldn't see the shot ing from behind, so he had no idea in which dire dodge. heless, he gonna juke it! Somehow! If Trever dodge stuff without looking, I too! ... ouch. Damn.

  Lars made a suddeo the left, but it was too te. The bullet drilled into his bad took a nice 15% of his HP. bined with the damage from the surprise attack from earlier and the previous damage minio him, Lars was already down to 60% HP. Meanwhile, Trever was still hanging at around 70%.

  Just like that, in a matter of three seds, Trever flipped this euation on its head. From being at HP disadvantage, he became the one in the lead. Also, from being the prey, he became a predator! What an insa!

  To get this dangerous pursuer off his back, Lars had to resort to extremes. He'll have to root Trever down with his ult and make a run for it.

  "Don't use your ult yet if possible," Yuel requested.

  "Whoa! Stop reading my mind, dude!"

  "It's a panic button that's great for situations like this, so of course you'd think of using it. But, unless you really have to, don’t spend it. I'm rotating to gank, so it'll e in handy."

  "Oh, you’re ing over here? What about Top?"

  "It's practically lardless of what I do," Yuel expined. "I might just barely stop Freezer from taking the tower, but it'll be left with o-no HP anyway. Oher hand, here we got an opportunity to get a kill."

  "Oooooh!" Lars shivered iement. Things were about to get iing!

  Lars was at a disadvantageous positiht now, he practically became the prey. But, once Yuel arrives, they gonna flip the table all over Trever's ass! It gonna be a ter to Trever's ter! Hell yeah, they got this!

  "Okay, gotcha!" Lars said. "I'mma stay alive and drag him over to our side. Let's give him a shocker!"

  "Yes, that's the pn."

  Lars just had to survive until Yuel arrives. But, there was a catch. He couldn't just retreat all the way back to his tower. That’d just make Trever give up on the offense and leave.

  So, Lars will have to keep Trever occupied over here for a while. In other words, they gotta fight! Finally, Lars was given a legit reason to bare his fangs without being scolded for it. At long st, Lars and Trever gon a real fight going today!

  Okay, judging by where the bullet came from, I bet he's somewhere around... Lars turned around and took a quick aim. Here!

  "o!" Trever just barely hit the brakes in time and ged dires to avoid the ining shot. Thankfully, the ser beam missed him. "Damn, son! That was close! What the heck?"

  That was one heck of a surprise shot. Lars fired that thing as soon as he turned around, without any warning. He probably had a fra of a nanosed to aim, but he almost nded a hit anyway. Yes, that's how it gotta be! That’s Lars, alright!

  "You’re finally going to fight?" Trever grinned. "Okay the’s do this shit!"

  "Wait, don't-"

  "LET'S GO! LET'S GO! LET'S GOOOOOO!!!"

  "And, he isn't listening..." Aron sighed. Orever got hyper like this, there was no talking seo him. It’s as if the idiot threhat little intelligence he had and became a beast in mind and body.

  "Think you got me? No dice!" After sidestepping the ser beam, Trever fired an immediate ter-attack! He got this ohe easiest fight of his life. Lars ain't gonna y even a single finger on him!

  "Geh, it actually hit!?" Lars was sure he could sidestep in time, but bullet darted at him at lightning speed. It’s almost as if Trever sidestepped Lar’s beam a little before Lars actually fired it, that’s what allowed him to deliver su immediate ter.

  Nah, no way. Lars's smile twitched. I was just a little slow this time. Just hafta warm up. I’ll get the one!

  Lars fired back as soon as he recovered from the attaimation. This time, he gonna hit for sure! As, he didn't. Trever sidestepped the ser-like some Olympic pro. , a ter was ing!

  This time it ain't gonna--Crap! No way! Lars sidestepped that thing as fast as humanly possible, but the bullet still grazed him. What the heck, yo!? These bullets gotta be bending the time-and-space of reality or some supernatural shit like that!

  "Haha, what's wrong, kid?" Trever ughed. "That's all ya got!? Weak!"

  Even though Trever loses most of his reason in this state, Aron analyzed. This hyper state isn't without merit

  Trever was a very emotional pyer by nature. When he was in a slump, he pyed like the worst pyer oh. However, when he was in the groove, he was unmatched. He even made Lars look weak.

  Unfortunately, the mung-ho Trever became, the worse his map awareness became. He only had his eyes on the enemy in front of him and little else. No matter how many times Aron tried to speak reason to his fool, it all went in one ear and out the other.

  No point even trying. Aron sighed in resignation. He’ll just have to cover up for Trever, that’s the most he could do. As long as he keeps Trever alive, Trever will surely get a kill here. Even Lars was no match for that wild barbarian.

  The real challenge was for Aron to guararever's safety. There was no doubt that Yuel has already caught wind of this development. The way Lars suddenly shifted from running away to going on the offense indicated was suspicious. It robably an order from the infamous tacti.

  Most likely, the enemy's pn was simir to what Aron and Trever tried to pull just now. Lars will stall Trever as a decoy while Yuel rotates there to gank.

  Viking had it easier than Lionfolk when it came to assassinating an enemy inside eerritory. Yuel didn't even require that Trever es close to the jungle. He could simply blink in and throw Trever to his side of the hen, they'll finish Trever off.

  So, I have to block Yuel off. Aron cluded. As long as he keeps Yuel away from the he gank won't e to fruition and Trever will be able to tinue his 1v1 against Lars. Judging by the flow of the fight so far and based on Trever's excited state, he was going to win this one for sure. That is, as long as it remains a pure 1v1 without aernal factors.

  Seems like my job here is to ehere won't be any such “external factors”. Aron o himself and headed toward the enemy side of Bot Juhere are only two possible entry points for Yuel: either travel across Bot Lane directly from the base, or cross the jungle aer the hrough the jurance.

  Aron had to at for both sarios to be on the safe side, but he prioritized the path through Bot Jungle. Yuel will most likely e through this path. There was one very simple reason to believe that.

  Upourning to base, Yuel had a decision to make: where to go ? At the time, the situation was as such: Lars and Trever were peacefully farming in Bot without any notable is. At the same time, Top was left undefended after the Lumiancer’s death, with Alex pnning to push hard.

  Clearly, at the time, the more urgent area of i was Top. So, that's where Yuel should've headed toward. Even if he decided to gank Bot instead, the decision probably came somewhere along the way to Top.

  As such, Yuel was most certainly somewhere in the jungle right now. The fastest route to Bot for him would through Bot Jungle. So, this was the best ambush spot.

  With that said, Aron gave himself some leeway by positioning himself rather close to Bot Lane. As slim as it was, there was a ce Yuel would try to ihe hrough the self. Aron had to be prepared to intercept the invader regardless of where he was going to e from. It won't be a true ter-py unless he thhly shuts down all of Yuel's approach options.

  Once he thwarts Yuel’s gank and Trever kills Lars, the curtain shall fall on Yuel’s team...
