32: Chapter 32 Indian netizens cried; I really sympathize with Cell!
My name is Karin, and I am the seventh player representing Persia in the Gods Arena.
The previous six players have had their wins and losses, and I am under a lot of pressure.
Persia is a small country, and we dare not owe any points to the Gods Arena, but we must participate in these competitions. The elders say this is an opportunity for Persia.
I thought just securing a baseline result would be good enough, until I met *that* man... He conquered me. His confidence, his calmness, his strength—they conquered me time and time again.
Even though he treats me as a tool, I have no regrets.
Another tough battle!
This time, India blocked him. As always, he told me to take Kalista... but I am not satisfied with just that. I want to help him; I want to do everything in my power to help him!
The opponent wants to play Kassadin?
Fine!
Then I will take Kassadin!
Even though I know there are many of these cards and I know this might be futile, I still took it!
Fortunately.
My luck was not bad; I actually got a three-star Kassadin!
This time, it should be able to help that man, right...
...
Shen Mo's eye twitched: "You got a three-star Kassadin???"
"Yeah."
Karin spoke weakly: "Um... Shen Mo, will this help you a little bit? I don't really understand; I just knew that Shalu wanted to play Kassadin, so I took them. You told me before that this can block the opponent's cards..."
You are helping me too much!
Shen Mo was numb!
There are a total of 25 two-cost cards in S12!
Karin has 9 Kassadin cards for the three-star, and Shalu has 8 on his side; that's 17 cards in total!
There are two other players playing Kassadin, both are two-star, which is another 6 cards!
17 + 6 = 23 cards!
As for the remaining 2 cards... Shen Mo looked down silently at the 2 Kassadin cards that appeared in the shop...
Very good!
I really sympathize with Shalu.
He never intended to take this thing from the start!
After all, everyone is busy contesting for four-cost and five-cost cards, or at the very least, temporarily holding three-cost cards. I've never heard of anyone being able to block the opponent's two-cost cards! But the current situation is just that bizarre!
This Persian girl is a useful tool!
Even without playing this lineup, you directly get a three-star Kassadin—aren't you afraid?
"Uh, next time, just listen to me. I'll tell you what to take." Shen Mo was a bit worried that this girl would act on her own and end up losing economy.
There isn't even Hextech in this version, so gaining interest is still very important.
"I'm sorry." Karin was a bit sad.
"Sigh~ That's not what I meant. I meant you did a great job! But I'm worried you'll lose economy, and if I win but you lose national luck points, wouldn't that be bad..."
Shen Mo knew this girl had misunderstood.
"Really?!" Karin was pleasantly surprised, "I didn't hold you back, Shen Mo?"
"No, no! You did a great job."
Shen Mo scratched his head. He was a bit speechless. What kind of thought process does this girl have? She doesn't even care about her own country's luck points; she's always thinking about whether she's holding him back?
If the tribal leader of Persia heard this, he would probably have a cerebral hemorrhage from anger, right?
Women... are indeed hard to understand.
...
"I admit you are strong! But my Kassadin cannot lose!"
Shalu's angry voice filled the headset.
Having been crushed by this Persian woman repeatedly, Shalu now had a bad premonition. The 50-point national luck wager made Shalu's face flush red, and he was frantically cheering for his own pieces.
If only they could hear him...
The two-star Kassadin brandished his Void Blade and charged at Karin's 4 Revival Fiora. Fiora's sword, equipped with Guinsoo's Rageblade, Titan's Resolve, and Bloodthirster, flashed with cold light. Both of them started stacking at the same time!
"Kassadin is stacking Guinsoo's Rageblade so fast! The two-star four-cost Fiora can't compare at all!"
"Nonsense! This is a secret tech developed by the Dragon Country. The fact that Shalu dares to use this lineup to fight the Dragon Country shows just how ridiculous this Kassadin has become!"
Giant Bear Country: "Is Fiora going to lose?"
Korea sneered: "A momentary victory means nothing. Kassadin's Guinsoo's Rageblade is already stacked up! Fiora is definitely done for this time, hahaha!!"
When the strength of two lineups is similar, it really tests the positioning of the pieces.
Korea thought that Shalu losing to Karin in the last round must have been due to positioning, which prevented Kassadin's Guinsoo's Rageblade from stacking. But this round is different; Kassadin's Guinsoo's Rageblade is already at 40+ stacks, while Fiora is barely at 28!
"It's over!"
Dragon Country netizens closed their eyes. They also felt that Fiora was definitely done for. How can she fight this?
Once Kassadin's Guinsoo's Rageblade is stacked, he is invincible, right?
On the arena, Karin's expression was very calm. Watching the pieces still fighting in the arena, her gaze quietly looked at Fiora, who was brandishing her cold blade... At this moment, Shen Mo's words still echoed in her ears!
"Remember, the upper limit of this lineup is extremely high. Karma, Fiora, Rakan, Gwen, Nasus—these five four-cost cards can ensure the overall quality of the lineup, and the five-cost card Morgana raises the ceiling."
"You don't need to know why this lineup is strong."
"You only need to know that once Fiora's Guinsoo's Rageblade is stacked, she can sweep the entire field!"
...
Roar!!!
Boom—!
"Death is not the end, but a cycle!"
Nasus, with a full mana bar, let out a roar. His low-health body suddenly grew larger, forcefully holding off Kassadin's continuous attacks! This resistance couldn't last long, but it still bought time for his teammates!
Rakan was cutting to the backline, his swift figure streaking across the battlefield, rushing towards the rear!
Kalista's aggro was drawn, and she frantically threw spears at Rakan, who was attacking at close range! Under the storm-like attacks, Rakan's health dropped rapidly. Just as he was about to be killed, a green light suddenly rose from his body!
Revival!
The rapidly falling health bar was suddenly lifted by a small notch.
But just with this insignificant healing, the cold sword tip had already reached Kalista!
"Sharp sword, sharp eyes..."
A streak of cold light tore through the air. Almost in the instant before Kalista could react, a figure had already cut to the backline. Kalista wanted to resist, but Fiora didn't give her that chance.
The sword fell!
Accompanied by blood splattering in the air, the two-star Kalista died instantly!
"You are insignificant, you are worthless..."
On the other side, Kassadin, having cleared the frontline, held the Void Blade with murderous intent. The two carries stood against each other, both the souls of the battlefield, and at this moment, they struck almost simultaneously!
Murderous intent filled the air!
The sound of blades cutting through the air emitted a piercing shriek!
"Clang!" The sound of metal clashing was deafening. The air between the two seemed to be torn apart by this blow.
The Void Blade in Kassadin's hand almost left afterimages. Every strike was like true damage, blood splattered everywhere. Fiora's eyes were cold, and her sword dance was like a falling galaxy, with every strike aiming straight for Kassadin's vital points!
Sword shadows flew, and blood dyed their bodies red!
Both of their health bars were dropping crazily, but the next moment, a white light suddenly shone on Kassadin, and a shield that was almost full appeared above his health bar!
"It's over!" some audience members exclaimed.
Seeing this scene, their hearts tightened!
Kassadin activated his shield!
That shield of his is just too ridiculous!
Shalu wore a smile on his face. Hmph! So what if it's a two-star Fiora? She still has to lose!
But just at this moment, a cold female voice echoed across the battlefield!
It was Fiora, who was at low health. Her hind legs arched slightly, and the scorching sword glow paused briefly.
It seemed as if she was charging up, or perhaps unleashing her final attack.
"Blade... Waltz!"
