Game 2: Sticks and Stones IV
490 Words
It was already 1 point for the enemy team. Usually, the person left behind should run for his life, while their ally respawns in 5 seconds, so that they will not be defeated during these few moments and lose the game altogether.
But Naika had other plans.
She sent a ping to her ally to attack them and hold them at the spot, which he obeyed.
Her ally headed towards them despite having the range to shoot them from the distance. Surprisingly he dodged everything they threw at him using the sliding maneuver, aided by the slippery wet floor because of the geyser.
In 4 seconds he got caught and since he was also low on health, he'd probably die in the next second, which was what everyone would have anticipated.
A cyclone of energy had suddenly materialized with blades swirling around it.
It was Naika's ult, from her 2 seconds of spawn-granted fury, which had eaten the other two alive, damaging them while clipping them up in the air.
Then they all realized that Naika didn't just lead then all to a random corner, but that corner was her team's spawnpoint, which let her get there in time. In fact, she was already there the instant she respawned.
Her Macroplay doesn't end when she died, it was only a condition she wanted to meet.
Their HP's dropped and the game was as good as over. Even if they had used their fury to release a shockwave, Naika's team would be waiting for their bodies to drop and clip them midair like hungry fishes who wait for the bread people toss onto them.
But all the backfire of plans and attacks wasn't finished just yet.
Literally a million arrows started raining from the sky like a steel storm.
Every arrow the geyser had blocked earlier had been tossed into the air, waiting to meet with its next target. Whoever interacts with a projectile last will be its owner and the foes of its owner will be its foes, meaning that they would take damage if they get hit.
The trouble was not a big deal to her, who has full health, but to her teammate, who only has a few pixels of his aura bar, it was a big problem.
He runs to a nearby tree for cover and Naika tries to provide more for him him using her own character as a meat shield, but some arrows still hit him. The guy with the greatsword had perished already, and their team points raised up by one, but the spear wielder is still at 20%.
She tried to use her deflect ability but it only lasted half a second. They tried, but Ults cannot be guarded from. Only mana could interact with fury.
This game was now as good as a toss coin. Only time and God could tell which team would come out
The falling needles didn't stop, and the spear wielder was at 10%.
8%...
5%...
2%...
Then a red screen appeared on her monitor, with the words, "defeat".
