15: Chapter 015: The Silent Strike of Japan and South Korea!
Kim Soo-jun went, carrying unparalleled confidence!
This lineup was something he 'learned' from Shen Mo. Kim Soo-jun knew very well that at the current stage 2-5, his lineup strength exceeded the one Shen Mo used when fighting Kamigawa!
Comparing at the same stage, the Shen Mo lineup back then did not have a two-star Katarina!
Especially with Katarina being a three-cost card, the increase in combat power was definitely not just a little bit!
This was the source of Kim Soo-jun's absolute confidence!
"Shen Mo, bow down before my lineup! Hahaha... Ga?"
Kim Soo-jun's smile suddenly stiffened.
The expected crazy slaughter did not arrive... well, actually it did, but it wasn't him doing the crazy slaughtering, but rather Shen Mo slaughtering him one-sidedly!
"This... how is this possible?!"
Kim Soo-jun was stunned!
His eyes looked at the arena in the middle in disbelief.
At this moment.
Kim Soo-jun's 4 Faerie lineup took the lead. Both Lillias collided first. With both being 2-star Lillias, it seemed neither could do anything to the other. A 2-star Katarina hitting a 1-star Nunu was still a bit painful.
Katarina had an Infinity Edge, and Nunu's HP was dropping rapidly!
Must admit, at this stage, a 2-star three-cost card still had some quality, but Shen Mo was not panicked at all. If Nunu died, he died. Jax activated his skill to tank the front row, and the opponent couldn't kill him for a while.
As long as the front row didn't die, his Kassadin would have the chance to stack Guinsoo's Rageblade!
Sure enough!
After a few breaths, the opponent's Lillia's HP suddenly started dropping faster and faster!
"You are insignificant, worthless..."
A low voice rang out. The bloody red blade almost left an afterimage. Kassadin's Guinsoo's Rageblade passive was stacking rapidly under the 30% double attack probability of the Portal Trait, and the faster the attack speed, the faster the double attack probability triggered!
Both were growing almost geometrically!
Guinsoo's Rageblade stacks: 15... 26... 32!
Under the blessing of over 30 stacks of the Guinsoo's Rageblade passive, Kassadin had transformed into a battlefield harvester! The rapidly spinning blood-colored blade light directly cut Lillia down!
Immediately following was the opponent's Katarina!
The spinning Katarina's damage was explosive! Under the blessing of Infinity Edge, 1-star Kassadin's HP quickly bottomed out!
The next second!
A white shield directly topped up his health bar!
Yes, topped up!
Kim Soo-jun was dumbfounded: "This... what kind of thing is this shield?"
Shen Mo smiled: "Sure enough, the un-nerfed Kassadin is the true T0..."
Actually, when S12 first launched in his past life, Kassadin was called a version cancer, but few people knew that Kassadin had actually been nerfed! He never made it out of the test server alive!
The Kassadin skill shield bonus on the test server was: 300 / 335 / 370!
And when the official server launched, Kassadin's shield bonus had already been slashed to: 260 / 285 / 310!
See the problem?
Before being slashed, the shield bonus of a 1-star Kassadin was infinitely close to the 3-star Kassadin launched on the official server!
What kind of concept is that?
Truly invincible, alright!
Even after being heavily slashed on the official server, Kassadin was still called a 'version cancer'!
And what should the un-slashed one be called?
Version BUG?
Shen Mo couldn't be bothered to think of a name; anyway, what he was playing now was the un-slashed Kassadin from the test server!
This 'Gods Arena', which revealed weirdness everywhere, was clearly a copy of the golden spatula game code, but it didn't copy it completely. Since that was the case, it was reasonable for him to use it, right?
On the Gods Arena.
Kassadin's Guinsoo's Rageblade had already stacked up, and he, only at 1-star, began to bare his fangs!
What 2-star Katarina!
Kassadin had damage stacking!
Under the stacking of 40+ Guinsoo's Rageblade layers, the Portal Trait's double attack triggered directly, 3 strikes in 1 second!
2-star Katarina's HP bottomed out directly!
Under the damage of the triggered critical hit, the HP of Kassadin, holding a bloodthirster, actually recovered a small bar!
Slaughter!
A completely one-sided slaughter!
1-star Tristana, 2 strikes, dead!
2-star Seraphine, 2 strikes, dead!
With the front row all dead, the back row couldn't stop Kassadin's abnormal damage stacking at all!
In less than three breaths, the battle was already over!
"That's it?"
Shen Mo was regretful: "I haven't even used my full strength yet, and you've already fallen..."
[Stage 2-5 match ended!]
[Ranking changes!]
[Seventh place: Kim Soo-jun, HP: 88 points!]
[Eighth place: Shen Mo, HP: 86 points!]
The damage at stage 2-5 was already quite considerable. Kim Soo-jun was heavily damaged, directly losing 12 HP! He dropped from first place to seventh, only 2 points away from the eighth-place Shen Mo's HP!
Kim Soo-jun was stunned.
He had never expected that he would lose! And lose so miserably!
That's not right!
Didn't he plagiarize Shen Mo's previous lineup?
The madness of the 2-star Kalista was still fresh in his memory. Why didn't this lineup work when facing Shen Mo again?
Hiss... could it be that he didn't have a Kalista?
That makes sense!
It must be this! This lineup was originally a late-game power lineup!
As his thoughts raced!
Stage 2-6 match started!
This time, Sakura Country's Yotsuki Kami ran into Shen Mo!
Yotsuki Kami looked arrogant: "Kim Soo-jun, you, not good enough, no longer worthy of being my opponent! Watch how I slaughter him! I already have a 2-star Tristana, with equipment, very strong!"
Clang! The metal upgrade sound rang out.
On Shen Mo's side, the dealer very generously refreshed 2 Kassadins, so his Kassadin was now 2-star!
Kim Soo-jun looked unconvinced, wanting to defend himself.
Yotsuki Kami didn't give him the chance, waving his hand: "Alright, Kim Soo-jun, the match is about to start, just watch my performance. The loser has no right to explain; this is the great Bushido spirit of Sakura Country!"
12 seconds later.
[Stage 2-6 match ended!]
[Ranking changes!]
[Fourth place: Kim Soo-jun, HP: 88 points!]
[Fifth place: Yotsuki Kami, HP: 87 points!]
[Sixth place: Shen Mo, HP: 86 points!]
After two consecutive stages of competition, the health-locked Shen Mo naturally escaped the eighth-place position. After all, other countries also lost HP; his HP couldn't remain in eighth place forever.
Of course, these were not the main points.
The point was... Yotsuki Kami lost. A 2-star Tristana was useless; in front of a 2-star Kassadin with stacked passives, she was nothing, directly cut down in one strike!
Heavily damaged by 13 HP! Even more than Kim Soo-jun's 12 points.
Kim Soo-jun took a deep breath: "...Yotsuki Kami-kun, can I speak now?"
Yotsuki Kami: "..."
Kim Soo-jun: "The opponent's lineup is very strong, but I think we aren't without hope! This is a late-game lineup!"
Yotsuki Kami: "..."
Kim Soo-jun: ?
Kim Soo-jun: "Yotsuki Kami-kun? Speak?!"
Yotsuki Kami: "My, Bushido spirit! The loser, does not deserve to speak!"
"..."
Kim Soo-jun laughed in anger: "...Your, Bushido spirit! Baka!"
