Chapter 14: Three-Point Instant Explosion! A Free Temporary Mission?

At this moment, both mid-laners were only level five, and it would be another half minute before the minion wave in the middle lane reached level six, so neither could level up yet.

LeBlanc’s passive only triggered when she lost 40% of her health, and clearly, she was far from being too healthy now.

Lissandra still had half her health.

What could they use to kill her?

Jarvan glanced at the situation but didn’t bother with it.

After all, it was you who told me to go back and farm the jungle...

Ye Bo popped a potion and continued pushing the wave.

“He’s still pushing? Should we keep going?” the Lissandra player spoke up over voice chat.

“No, Jarvan’s clearly camping behind. You have enough health not to get fully comboed and die. Just let him camp a bit longer to soak the experience,” the Lee Sin player said as if he had the whole situation under control.

LeBlanc’s burst damage was incredibly high, but it had prerequisites.

Her E skill had to chain through both segments fully, her Q had to detonate both parts, and her W had to connect.

If any part missed, the damage would drop significantly.

Especially in the current patch where durability was increased, even a slight miss could mean insufficient damage!

If LeBlanc tried to dive the tower alone, Lissandra could easily react mid-air with her W to root her under the tower.

LeBlanc’s W projectile required no reaction time.

Once rooted, since LeBlanc’s W couldn’t be interrupted, she would be forced to tank the tower shots immediately, allowing Lissandra to turn the fight under the turret.

“This LeBlanc, how? No one’s behind her, yet she carries the presence like she’s got a whole bakery behind her!”

“Honestly, this LeBlanc scared the enemy team. What a performance! Pushing a wave for free, so even without teleport, she loses nothing. That’s a big win!”

“Wait... what is she doing?”

“Huh?”

“Is she really going to dive?!!”

LeBlanc had followed the minion wave right up to the tower and showed no sign of retreat.

Lissandra already sensed something was off and quickly cleared the minions, firing a piercing ice spike towards LeBlanc’s minion cluster.

LeBlanc seized this moment and cast her E skill, Ethereal Chains, hitting from a long distance.

Lissandra was chained but remained calm, her fingers hovering over W.

LeBlanc’s E had limited range, and this cast was already at the maximum distance; one more step forward and the chain would break.

But if LeBlanc stepped forward, she would immediately be forced to tank the tower!

If the chain broke, this tower dive attempt would be impossible.

It was a classic dilemma, and as everyone saw, there seemed to be no chance for a kill.

LeBlanc appeared to give up and turned to leave...

But the next moment,

Lissandra’s eyes suddenly widened!

Because the chain, which should have instantly disappeared once out of range—was instead, astonishingly, physically stretched out by LeBlanc herself!

And not just a little!

The chain extended in an eerie fashion, at least three or four champion-lengths beyond the normal break distance!

“What the hell...”

At the moment Lissandra’s player gasped in shock,

From afar, a sudden flash of light—the magical mark and phantom movement!

LeBlanc instantly flashed with Phantom Step, closing the distance to the stretched chain.

The magical mark detonated perfectly with the second chain segment’s latch, syncing with the Phantom Step’s impact!

EDWQEW.

A triple burst!

Without even using ignite, Lissandra was obliterated by the simultaneous detonation of W plus Q and E’s double segments in the same second!

“I made it!!!”

“Holy hell!!!”

“What kind of play is that? A counterattack like this?”

“Wait, what’s with that E? How can it stretch so far? That chain’s longer than my life!”

The three hosts on Huya shouted in unison.

This technique was called “Delayed E.”

It was a hidden trick Ye Bo had just learned after completing the LeBlanc level seven achievement three days ago.

The principle was simple: all chain-type skills in League of Legends had their own “judgment time.”

If LeBlanc stood at the absolute edge of her E’s cast range, she could momentarily extend this judgment window, effectively lengthening the chain’s reach far beyond normal limits.

Of course, mastering this trick was difficult and required extremely precise control over distance and positioning.

To pull it off in real combat, and like Ye Bo, to time the E’s detonation perfectly while turning around to flash and combo WQ simultaneously, demanded top-tier mechanical skill.

Recently, Ye Bo had been banned from many heroes and was focusing on expanding his champion pool, aiming to master several level five heroes.

This secondary signature move on LeBlanc had only been practiced a few days ago when he felt ready to break through—and this was his first time using it in a real match.

The enemy team’s voice chat was filled with confusion.

“What are you doing?! How can you be solo killed like that?”

Lee Sin hadn’t seen the full play but couldn’t understand how LeBlanc got an unharmed solo kill, immediately questioning.

“It’s not his E... I don’t know why it didn’t break. I really didn’t react in time...” Lissandra tried to explain.

“Damn it, don’t feed! I’m telling you, if you feed, we lose. Stay calm and we can win!”

Lee Sin was getting anxious.

“It’s easy for you to say! Why don’t you go lane against him? You don’t know the pressure I’m under! Seriously!”

Lissandra snapped back.

LDL players were often temporary lineups with rapid yearly turnover, so there was little team chemistry.

Luckily, someone knew how to prioritize and quickly tried to calm the situation.

“Just stay calm. If it gets bad, build magic resist first. We can’t let him snowball...”

But words were one thing.

Restricting Ye Bo was far from easy.

Ye Bo started the game by buying a Dark Seal, hitting level six after pushing a wave, and then disappeared from the lane.

Judging by Lissandra’s earlier movements and ward placements, he deduced where the vision was, then used LeBlanc’s incredible mobility to wall-hop past vision and sneak into the jungle.

Lee Sin was cautious but soon crossed paths with LeBlanc in the jungle.

At level four, facing a level six LeBlanc, Lee Sin had little chance to escape.

Two Phantom Steps over walls chased him down, followed by a perfectly landed chain, and without flash, Lee Sin could only “ward and die,” bitterly accepting defeat.

“This chain is so damn accurate! It’s like a targeted skill!”

“Hey, LPL’s starting soon. Should we watch?”

“Let’s finish this game first? No objections, guys. Have you seen this LeBlanc? This player’s on another level, just showing off!”

Today’s LPL opener was between two bottom-tier teams, which was why LDL got the spotlight.

LeBlanc was once again the center of attention, and most viewers preferred watching such flashy players.

In just six minutes, LeBlanc was 2-0.

Ye Bo once again demonstrated his unmatched laning dominance among these LDL players.

But just then,

A notification popped up in front of Ye Bo:

[Temporary Mission: Win this game if possible; it may be important?]

[Reward: 404 Comeback Points]

[Note: No penalty for mission failure]

“Huh? Free points?” Ye Bo raised an eyebrow and muttered.

“Ah!? No, Ye Bo, I really just messed up!” came the reply from the bottom lane support.

Because just as Ye Bo was distracted, the sound of a kill came from the bottom lane, and judging from the voice chat, the support had made a positioning mistake.

Support Nami, overhearing this, thought mid lane was peeking, and hurriedly explained.

“No, I mean the enemy Lissandra.”

Ye Bo brushed it off and refocused on laning.

Though he didn’t understand why the system popped up such a mission when they were already halfway to victory,

And the reward points were quite generous!

But free points... there was no reason to refuse them.
