Ever sinia left Mid, she had been monit the events in Bot. And, to make sure that the enemy stayed in the dark about all of this, she purposely walked near a firmed ward in Top Juhis surely made the ehink she was rotating over there, but in truth, Nia stealthily returo Bot Jungle almht away.
So, while Lars was fronting Apprenteia cautiously crept into a position fank. She made sure to sneak around any sus wards locations to reach the ne ued.
Ok, I made it. Nia o herself. I don’t think anybody noticed me. Probably.
Nothing about Appretnece’s as indicated that he was aware of Nia’s location. So, this meant her undercover operation was a success. Probably.
But, that alone isn’t enough. Not against this monster. Nia had already snuck up to this pro twi this game. The first time, the guy saw through it and tered it in a scary way. The sed time, Nia mao catch the guy off-guard, but her offense wasn’t sharp enough to seal the deal.
Admittedly, Nia wasn’t 100% fident about the py on both occasions. For the first one, rushing that gank seemed sus to her. She was fairly vihat she hadn't fully erased her prese the time, so Appretnece’s bold overextension seemed unnatural. And, it really was a trap!
As for the sed py, Yuel orchestrated that ehing from the ground up. It was the kind of pn Nia wouldn’t have thought of in a million years, so it was very sus. In the end, it ALMOST worked, but not quite.
Ganking with so little HP is scary. Nia shuddered from the mere memory of that event. I probably could've done a better job if I wasn’t so worried about staying alive the eime.
In the end, as good as the sed gank attempt was, it didn't meet all the requirements necessary for perf optimally. What Nia needed was a cssik. She had to be healthy and sneak up to Apprentedetected, and without Apprentece expeg her arrival.
This time, I have the HP. Nia her 90% HP bar. So, if I just get an opportunity, I do it. I'm sure I .
Holy, she had no idea where that fidence was even ing from. In fact, maybe it wasn't fide all. She just really wao smack that Apprentece guy hard, that’s all.
Yes, she had to admit she was rather passionate about all of this, as unusual as it was for her. Ganking unsuspeg oppos had always been fun, but this ersonal. Nia wao specifically gank THIS guy, and gank him hard.
I-I take him down, I'm sure I ! So, just show me an opening already. Nia closely followed the movements in Bot from afar using the X-ray vision mode.
As always, Apprentece's duct reeked of sheer coess. The guy advao the frontlihout g about Lars's attack ra all.
, Apprete hit by one of Lars's beams, seemingly on purpose. As a result, both minion waves started moving around and the uro chaos.
As Lars's swordsmen gave chase after Apprentece's swordsmen, they ended up stepping closer to their fellow bowmen. That was a fatal mispy on their part.
BAM! The Orc swung his deadly sledgehammer, annihiting all the injured swordsmen and almost killing the bowmen too. Scary.
If one of these hits me... Nia gulped. This dispy of strength reminded her once again just how scary a css Orc was. It was an absolute monster, pretty mu par with a Dark Knight.
Just a few months ago, Nia dreaded ganking such csses. She knew how important it was to harass such strong early-game oppos, but she couldn't bring herself to front these monsters. After all, with how broken their damage was, eliminating Nia's entire HP bar was as easy as snapping a twig for them.
But, that alien robot kept bugging me about this point. Nia pouted. Always f me to gank these csses even though it’s so scary. What a bully.
Every time the team pyed an online game against a Dark Knight or an Orc, Yuel insisted on having Nia gank Top repeatedly. It wasn’t just scary, it was horrifying. She still had nightmares to this day, for real.
But, now that I look back, it was good practiia nodded. I went through that hell so many times by now that I’m not even scared anymore. At least, not too scared…
Of course, ganking a dangerous oppo will always be scary, that’s just a w of nature. There was always that lingering question: "What if they turables on me and kill me in like five seds!?"
But nowadays, it was a small that didn't stop Nia. It gave her a shiver wheopped to think about it, but nothing more. Despite everything, she was determio strike down this Orc.
So, just give me an opportunity already. Nia telepathically sent the message to her target. , just overextend a little. You always do it, right?
As, it didn't feel like Apprentece had any iion of extending too deeply into Lars's territory. The guy was ag cocky as usual and advanced along the h his minions, but there was a hint of caution in his as.
He's borderline overextending but I think he knows what he's doing. Nia thought. He's always kinda like that, isn't he? It always looks as if his defense is down, but it actually isn’t.
After ganking the guy twice by now, Nia could somewhat tell what he was thinking. For example, the first time she ganked him, the guy was 100% aware of what he was doing. His overextension was way too obvious and turned out to be fake as heck.
Oher hand, that time Nia ganked him at the tower? The guy wasn't expeg it at all. Even though Nia’s gank didn't go as pnned in the end, Apprentece definitely let his guard down there.
But the thing is, I didn’t feel like anything was “too obvious” there. Nia recalled. Like, he wasn’t trying to vinybody that his guard was down or anything like that. He just pushed normally, thinking that there was no way anybody would attack him there.
And, it was sensible in that situation. Nia’s assault was really absurd. Nobody would’ve expected it in a million years, so it made sehat even a Korean prodigy lowered his guard against that.
But, I haven't seen him do that again sihen, though. Nia thought. Even back when he was ag cocky in Mid, he still seemed super cautious and stuff.
Appreended boldly against Kai but that wasn’t the opportunity Nia was looking for. Despite how cocky the guy’s as seemed, every step he took was fwlessly calcuted. The guy repared at all times to handle joint attacks from Kai and Nia. There weren’t any real openings.
And it's the same situation here in Bot now. Nia analyzed. It feels like he's overextending but he isn't, not really. He's still cautious about his position and stuff. So, I need more. Please, overextend more!
As Nia raying for the unlikely, something iing happened in the ne. Apprenteched his pesky Sce at Lars! It was a dangerous CC that would’ve crippled Lars for life!
But of course, Lars was no small fry. He backflipped in the nick of time like a pro!
It was real close, though. So close that it almost gave Nia a heart attack. If that thing hit Lars, then he would have been done fulp.
Fortunately, Lars mao jump away. What's more, as soon as he nded, he fired back! It was a and fast execution, the kind Nia could only dream of reag one day.
In fact, that terattack was so swift that even the almighty Apprentece wasn't prepared for it. ZAP! The ser beam pierced right through that cocky guy!
Totally deserved. Nia nodded in approval. That's what you get for uimating us.
Apprentece was undoubtedly strong, but Lars had just proved that it ossible to front that guy head-to-head. This bolstered Nia's fidence. Surely, she could also unch a successful atta this prodigy. She just he right opportunity for it.
And surprisingly, that opportunity might just be around the er.
Oh, he's ag differently now. Nia noticed. I 't exactly put my finger on it, but it feels like he's a lot more absorbed in the uatiht now. I don’t think he’s paying that much attention to his surroundings anymore...
This was something of a sixth sense. Nia felt like a fog started gathering arouo ceal her presehis could be the moment!
Or, was Nia reading too muto it? Maybe her desire for revenge was clouding her judgment?
I dunno for sure. Nia shrugged. But, this feels like the ce I've been waiting for so I have to take it!
And so, Nia took off toward Bot! She was going to use this opportunity to settle the score, ond for all!
