Chapter 33
After knowing Elise, Katarina, and Thresh’s movements, DanDy didn’t even bother positioning himself to kill the red buff . He didn’t even think of pulling the red buff towards the brush .

Xiao Ran and five waited in the brush quietly and watched as DanDy worked hard to struggle with the red buff .
Hecarim didn’t have full health and after fighting red buff for a moment, his health bar had dropped to 2/3 . Xiao Ran clearly knew that Hecarim’s Smite was still on cooldown and Hecarim wouldn’t be able to use Smite to recover his health .
Hence, Xiao Ran gave the command, “five, do it . ”
five was already finding it hard to stay still . After hearing Xiao Ran’s command, he immediately executed Q to hook Hecarim . He then activated the Q’s effect to pull Hecarim towards him before shifted to the side and executing E .
Flay(E):
Passive: Thresh’s basic attacks deal bonus magic damage, with the AD ratio increasing based on the time spent not attacking the enemy or neutral units .
Active: Thresh sweeps his chain around him and in a broad line towards the target direction, dealing magic damage to enemies hit, knocking them in the chain’s direction, and slowing them afterwards for 1 second .
When facing the enemy, it would push the enemy away .
When facing away from the enemy, it would pull the enemy closer .
Then five shifted a little, he moved behind Hecarim and had his back facing Hecarim . Finally, he executed R .
The Box(R): Thresh surrounds himself with 5 spectral walls, each lasting for up to 5 seconds . Walls break upon contact with an enemy champion, dealing magic damage 250/400/550(+ 100% AP) and slowing by 99% for 2 seconds .
Enemy champions hitting any wall beyond the first take no damage and are slowed for only 1 second .
The three spell combo had stupefied DanDy .
As for Xiao Ran, he had moved once five threw out his hook .
Xiao Ran executed the standard EQWR combo while DanDy’s Hecarim was totally unable to resist . It should be said that he couldn’t even react before falling onto the ground .
The female system voice announced the kill to Xiao Ran immediately after .

“You have slain an enemy . ”
five cheered with joy, “Nice!”
While Xiao Ran chuckled and looked at the Soulstealer in his equipment box .
Another four stacks, so satisfying .
…
The haters were dumbfounded again, they simply found it hard to believe their eyes .
They were preparing to use the statements of mockery that they had prepared for a long time, but they were now like ducks that were getting strangled by their necks and couldn’t squeeze out a quack after trying for a long time .
Xiao Ran had intentionally created the image that he was going to gank the bot-lane, but they had actually detoured to the enemy jungle area to gank Hecarim .
Hecarim with 2/3 health left was sneak attacked by Thresh and Katarina with high burst items…
This kill wasn’t suspenseful at all .
MaRin who was battling against Clearlove and Flandre with his wits and courage was stunned after hearing the kill announcement . He quickly asked, “What happened?! How did you die?”
DanDy was so angry that he went silent .
Jungling required IQ, but his damned IQ was getting crushed by the opposition today .
This was already the second time!
Mata and Deft were both in silence as well .
Earlier on, they were just mocking at Katarina for wasting her farm time for nothing . But in less than one minute, their allied jungler had been killed .

What a slap on their faces .
“That Katarina… is a little dirty”
…
In just less than 10 minutes, Katarina’s battle score was at 3/0/0 .
(TL note: For those that don’t know, Kill/Death/Assist a . k . a . KDA)
The streaming room was in another uproar!
“WTH, Thresh and Katarina’s coordinations and mechanics are simply divine!!”
Xiao Ran’s greatest fans were barraging the screen again:
“God Kun nice!”
“I didn’t think that the Challenger tier’s strategies can be so dirty . Hahaha!”
“Hahaha, is this still Vici Gaming’s Korean Jungler? Is this still DanDy who dominates the jungle area? He is completely incomparable to my great God Kun!”
“All the idols shall be overturned by the strategies of my God Kun!”
“DanDy must be crying . In less than ten minutes, he got ganked twice and is already ten times inferior to Clearlove in farm . ”
“I can predict that DanDy is going into the pit . ”
“What prediction is that? Hecarim is already in the pit!”

While the fans were talking, Xiao Ran had taken the red buff and went back to the mid-lane .
When Dopa saw Katarina with the red buff, he didn’t dare to contest at all .
Katarina who was already leading with the gold from three kills had also stacked the Soulstealer .
Right now, Katarina even had red buff .
If Dopa went out of the turret range and was struck by the red buff, it would be a tempo of death .
Dopa hugged the turret and took last hits under the turret . He didn’t even dare to venture out of the turret range . On the other hand, after Xiao Ran finished clearing a minion wave, he would start to roam the entire map .
Clearlove was crying .
Since the start of the match, he had only cleared the allied raptor camp and murk wolf camp once . Afterwards, he had never seen them again .
In fact, Clearlove didn’t have the worst time as DanDy was even more miserable!
Xiao Ran had occupied Clearlove’s raptor and murk wolf camps, but Clearlove took over DanDy’s jungle area…
With Xiao Ran’s reminders, Clearlove could run in DanDy’s jungle area without concerns and could even occasionally launch a spell combo on DanDy .
DanDy’s ult had turned into his escaping spell in his own jungle area .
In fact, during this period of time, Xiao Ran wasn’t very happy .
He might have a lot of gold after killing the minions and jungle camps, but Dopa was playing too safely and was determined to hug the turret .
The top-lane’s MaRin and bot-lane’s Mata and Deft would immediately hide under their turrets whenever Xiao Ran vanished from the mid-lane .
Xiao Ran’s killstreak had remained the same due to this .
At the 15 minute mark, Xiao Ran recalled to the base again .
This time, he immediately formed a few items .
Xiao Ran’s current equipment were so luxurious that no one could look at them directly .
Mejai’s Soulstealer, Sorcerer’s Shoes, Luden’s Echo .
“All done, item build is done . ” Xiao Ran laughed while exiting the base . He immediately headed for the top-lane, “Clearlove, let’s go and do something at the top-lane . ”
Xiao Ran’s hunt… had officially begun!
A simple introduction of Katarina’s W, E, and R spells .
Sinister Steel(W): Katarina whirls her daggers, dealing magic damage to all nearby enemies . If Sinister Steel damages an enemy champion, she also gains bonus movement speed for 1 second .
Shunpo(E): Katarina blinks to the target unit and gains 20% damage reduction for 1 . 5 seconds . If the target is an enemy, she deals them magic damage .
The E spell is Katarina’s go-to spell for pursuit or retreat . It can be used to blink to enemies, wards, or allies .
Death Lotus(R): Katarina rapidly spins in place and channels for 3 seconds, throwing a dagger every 0 . 25 seconds to each nearby enemy champion, up to a maximum of 3 at a time, dealing them magic damage and applying Grievous Wounds for 3 seconds .
Moving or reactivating Death Lotus will immediately end its effects .
In most scenarios, the Death Lotus is incomparable . As long as you can finish channeling the spell for at least 2 seconds, all enemies within your AOE will have their health dropped below 30% .
The ability to channel the entire ult is rather difficult . You will need to observe all the enemy champions and make sure all their disrupting spells are on cooldown before jumping in and using your ult .
Most people will attempt to stun you during the team fights . It doesn’t matter if you used your ult or not . Hence, it will be better to jump into the battle and endure some spells before using your ult to end the enemy champions .
As long as the ult is used properly, it will be very easy to kill all the enemy champions .
