An enemy has been killed!

  "Haha, goteem!" Nash pumped a fist.

  "You could've givehat one," Jaiden sulked.

  "Nuh-uh, bruh," Nash grinned. "All your kills are belong to me!"

  "You greedy son of a gun," Jaiden chuckled. Well, it's not like he really cared about Nash taking both kills. It didn't bother him in the slightest. Not at all. Dang it, I'm taking the wo kills for sure!

  "Anyway, time for rand pn," Jaiden grinned. "Are you all got enough money?"

  "Mhm," Rio nodded.

  "Hell yeah, bring it on!" Nash gave a thumbs up.

  "Alright then," Jaiden nodded. "Zeph, you pce it soon. We'll be there in a jiffy."

  "Got it," Zeph rejoiced upon hearing the good news. He has been doing his best to py defensively against Chessmaster's Dark Knight, but he wasn't doing too hot. His tower already fell to 70% HP and he didn’t have anything going for him.

  This guy is a monster. Zeph cluded. There was no way he could take on a demon like Chessmaster. He needed help. Like, lots of help.

  At first, Zeph thought that summoning the entire junior trio to Top Lane was overkill. But, now he found it neccessary. Chessmaster was that difficult of an oppo.

  So, Zeph did his part and pced a Checkpoint Ward as requested. The pn was set in motion.

  Jaiden, Nash, and Rio recalled to base and all three of them bought Teleports.

  It’s a costly gimmi. Jaiden thought. But, it gonna pay off for sure! Nobody gonna expect us in Top. If this pn works, we’ll have the game in the bag.

  Meanwhile, the other team could only wonder what this crazy trio to.

  They're not pushing? Yuel examihe state of Bot Lane. A new minion wave arrived and the two sides cshed, yet nobody from Taurus was there to farm. It eculiar.

  Just moments ago, the trio in Bot secured themselves the entire ne by killing Kai and Vi. Yet, right afterward, all three enemies vanished from the se without a trace. They didn’t do anything with the advahey worked so hard to gain. It was mind-boggling.

  Where did they go? To farm Dragon? Yuel wondered. No, that’s impossible. Vi has wards over there. We would’ve seen them by now.

  So, where else could the trio possibly disappear to? Did they abandon their ne advantage and chose to retreat? Their Gunslinger was injured, so it wasirely impossible.

  But, would they really give up on such a great opportunity? Bot was pletely uheir jurisdi at the moment. They could do as they pleased with the entire area. It was a golden opportunity. Nobody would give up on a ce like this.

  But, if these guys weren't pushing Bot and weren't at the Dragon, then where were they? There weren't any jungle camps around that were worth clearing as a group.

  Well, they could pay a visit to the Griffins, but... Yuel didn’t believe it. The Griffin Camp was worth a pretty penny, but fog on it would be a poor way to capitalize on the amazing advahe enemy gained in Bot. It wasn’t worth it.

  There was definitely something bigger afloat. Judging by the new pyers’ performahus far, they were too good to ignore such a golden opportunity. They were pnning something.

  Other than taking Dragon, what other lines of py could be worth more than pushing Bot? Yuel could only e up with one logical idea.

  "Lars, retreat," Yuel instructed. "They might be rotating to gank you."

  "Hm? Who?" Lars titled his head. "I don’t see nobody."

  "Exactly, that's the problem,” Yuel expined. “The eook trol of Bot but they’re not pushing it. Then, where did they go?"

  "Oh, I see watcha mean. Yeah, that's suspect alright," Lars retreated from the ter of the ne.

  The idea of three dudes rotating together from Bot to Mid retty extreme, but it wasn't too out there. Stuff like that happened sometimes. In fact, it didn't just happen.

  "Wait, ain't that our tech!?" Lars excimed. "We used to do that kinda stuff together with July."

  "It's not like we have a monopoly over this tactic," Yuel said.

  Traveling around the map as a coordirio had its perks. If the three pyers had solid teamwork, they could terrorize enemy o no end. They could rack up more kills this way, et a ce to push more important nes like Mid.

  The tactivolved many risks and demanded careful timing. But, when successful, it could propel the eeam into a winning position in a matter of minutes. Judging by how Vi gave that trio a bombastiame like “Triangel of Certain Doom”, there was a good ce those three were experienced enough to attempt su idea.

  Unfortunately, Yuel’s dedu was only half-correct. He was right about the erio stig together and preparing fank, but...

  "Heh, their Mid is retreating." Jaiden smiled meaningfully as he examihe mini-map.

  "Whoa, no way!" Nash's eyes almost popped out. "Man, are you tellihey figured we’re the kind of mad ds who’d gank Mid together? The game barely even started yet! They ’t know that stuff."

  "I hear you, but that’s facts. I told you, these guys are something else.”

  "Too bad for them, though," Rio smirked. "They guessed wrong."

  "Yeah, good thing I thought of this master pn ahead of time," Jaiden turo Nash. "And you were trying to stop me, remember? Saying I was overthinking things and all that. Just look at the dang situation. Look at it, bro!"

  “Haha, yeah, yeah” Nash ughed. “I still ’t believe this is real life right now. But, we just gotta roll with it. Let’s go get ‘em, bois!”

  The preparations were set. All three of them got Teleport and fully recovered. Now, it was time to begin their masterful attack!

  As Chessmaster predicted, they were pnning to un atack together. However, their target wasn’t Mid La was Top Lane!

  They booted Teleport at the same time and targeted the Checkpoint Ward installed by Zeph. In just two seds, the three of them traveled from the base and all the way to Top!

  “Wha...?” Yuel eechless. Who could bme him? Out of literally nowhere, three ominous figures appeared on his ne. And, they immediately unched an attack!

  “T-They’re all here!” Yuel reported, barely taining the panic. He has been leisurely pushing the il now, advang into eerritory without any worries. But now, three enemies were right behind him! They caught him overextending!

  No, that wasn’t quite right. Until a moment ago, Yuel’s push erfectly fine. He ventured deep into eerritory, but it was a calcuted risk. He khat the enemy jungler was near Bot, so there was no reason to be cautious about any ganks.

  But, a gank happened heless. And, it was no simple gank by one oppo. All of Taurus’ new pyers were here. The entire so-called “Bermuda Triangle” showed up!

  Such a nasty Telepimmick! How didn’t I think of that!? Yuel gritted his teeth. He didn’t expect to see such a bizarre tactic here today, but here it was.

  What are my options? Yuel broke into a run before he could ahat question. Even without thinking about it, he knew he stood no ce against these oppos. He had to make a break for it.

  But, realistically, what were his ces of getting away? And, what could he do to increase them? Dark Knight didn’t have any escape tools and he was slow by foot. Once forced into an unfavorable situation like this, there was no way to get out.

  For starters, Yuel booted Nightmare. It slowly sapped his HP, but it gave him a small boost of Movement Speed that he very mueeded.

  , he rolled forward- K. The Dark Knight rammed into a wall like a ball.

  I see. Yuel grimaced as an ice wall towered over him. You’re not going to give me any ces at all, are you?

  The enemy ancer was quick at blog the shortest escape route with that ice wall. It was impossible to tinue onward. Yuel will first have to circle around the wall. That’ll waste a lot of precious time.

  But, there was no time to even worry about such matters. By the time Yuel recovered from his failed roll, the three predators have already encircled him.

  So, this is the “triangle”. Yuel looked around him. There were no openings. The ice wall was blog the path ahead, the Gunslinger and Viking blocked the sides, and the ancer blocked the back. There was o go. o run. They got him.

  I’m through. Yuel didn’t give up, he merely stated a fact. There was no way to e on top in this situation.

  Looks I’m fighting to the death. He sighed in resignation.

  Despite being trapped in a 1v3 situation, he was still a Dark Knight, a powerful damage dealer. Therefore, his best option was to stand his ground aaliate. Perhaps one of the enemies will be careless enough to let Yuel kill them.

  Who do I go after? Yuel didn’t have enough data to choose the best target out of the three, so he went after the Gunslihe squishiest target.

  “Oh, trying to kill the Carry?” Jaiden grinned as a bck sword sshed through him. “That’s cute, but not gonna happe’s finish him, guys!”

  “Gotcha!” Nash roared. “Another kill, here I e!”

  “Hey,” Jaiden made a face. “Gimme this one, will you?”

  “Nope.”

  “You damn Kill Stealer,” Jaiden cracked a dry ugh. Alright, it’s a race, the’s see who gets the st hit!

  The trio uheir attacks on the Dark Knight. But, the guy didn’t just stand there and took it like a good boy. Chessmaster retaliated with violent swings aimed at Jaiden, going for a kill even uhese desperate circumstahe guy had no iion of giving them anything for free.

  Dang, this guy sure knows what he’s doing. Jaiden gulped. Even though he and his pals had the absolute advantage here, the Dark Knight’s retaliation pressive enough to make Jaide. But, you not gon me. Get dead already!

  Jaiden fired while backpedaling. Nash hacked away with his axe. Rio shot icicles. There was no escape from the Invincible Triangle!

  An enemy has been killed!

  It was over within seds. The Dark Knight colpsed on the ground and didn’t stand up again.

  "Alright!" Jaiden pumped a fist. They eliminated one of the enemy’s stars. hought it’d be this easy. We actually did it like it was nothing!

  Back when Jaiden saw Gunz and Chessmaster on stage for the first time, he felt like there was an infinite skill gap between them. Even a lifetime of training shouldn’t have been enough to shrink that enormous distance.

  A, here Jaiden was, totally destroying Chessmaster. It was easy too, almost painfully easy. And, he got the kill too!

  "Goddamit, my kill!" Nash ranted. "Hey Rio, the heck was that freezing stunt!?"

  "My hand slipped," Rio averted his eyes.

  "Oh, yeah? It’s must’ve slipped real freakin’ bad to make you cast your ult on me!" Nash waved an angry fist.

  He couldn't believe what just happened. Nash has been carefully waiting for the perfeent to nd the st hit on the Dark Knight. But, just as the time came, his body froze. Why? Because Rio decided to hit him with Cryo-Freeze outta freakin' nowhere! He missed the kill because of that stunt.

  "Like, the heck, man?" Nash grumped. "Hey, Jai. You tell him something too."

  "Hmm," Jaiden knotted his brows. As Nash was saying, that Cryo-Freeze from Rio was a terrible waste of an ult. It’d normally deserve nothihan capital punishment. "Good job, Rio!"

  "Say WHAAAAT!?" Nash almost fell off his chair.

  "You're wele," Rio nodded with a small smile.

  "You dudes be ganging on me like that?" Nash asked. "I'mma cry."

  "Just learn to share," Jaiden ughed. "I know you've been waiting for that st hit."

  "Who? What? Where?" Nash whistled ily.

  "I saw how you stopped attag he end there. I nning to let you have the kill because I'm nice, but I guess Rio didn't wanhat slide."

  "Ya both bullies. Bullies, I'm tellin' ya!" Nash thrust his finger. "It's on now! Let's see who gets more kills by the end!"

  "Aaaaaaand nothing was learhat day," Jaiden sighed.

  "Goril brain," Rio agreed quietly. I spent my ult for nothing.

  Under normal circumstances, wasting the ancer's precious ult would be a grave mistake. However, at this point, Rio simply couldn’t see them losing. They’ve been dominating the game thus far.

  They scored three kills oer another in a matter of mihe situation became an overwhelming 5v2. There was literally nothing their oppos could do against this offense.

  And, Jaiden had no pns of stopping any time soon.

  There’s more from where that came from! Jaiden grinned. He didn't really pn this far because he didn't expect things to go this smoothly. Even so, their course of a was obvious. They gonna keep raiding the enemy’s territory!
