Chapter 41 - Season's Champion

"Let's talk about our plan for the next game." Bright said

"Key wants to take Pylae." Rasheed said, that statement took everyone's attention and Key just smiled

"Alright, take Pylae," Bright said

"What are you planning, Key?" Alexei asked

"Let's hear your plan, Key," Bright said so Key told them her plan for the next round that involves exchanging her place with Quant as the Captain's support

When the rest time is over, they all headed back into the stage.

When the banning part began, JLNC banned three of the shinigamis used by Cyanide Wolves in the first round. In contrast to them, the Cyanide Wolves banned the shinigamis they banned in the first round.

{"As you can see, JLNC decided to play with the same shinigami line-up as they did in the first round, what are they trying to play now?"} Gino Morin commented when the final line-up of shinigami of both teams was listed on the screen

{"For Cyanide Wolves, we have Intrepidus for off-laner, Chikara as top-laner, Bellum as mid-laner, Maesta as Forward, and Evocatrice as support."} Gael Darrow said

The game began and they scattered from their base, Quant's Sournoise headed to the top lane with Opal's Fortiz, El's Luccicare headed to his respective lane, and Key's Pylae supported their Captain's Fidens in the bottom lane.

{"What is JLNC doing? Their off-laner is acting as support and their support is in the top lane."} Gael Darrow said in confusion

{"If one is to connect this action to the events of the recent game where their off-laner was ambushed by three members of the opponents, this is what you can call a defense mechanism."} Gino Morin replied

Little did they know, this was no defense mechanism of any sort.

The game progressed quite similar to how it did in the first game, with Kashmiri being in the bottom lane and Quant being in the top lane the only difference.

They continued killing their opponent's minions to level up under their tower before proceeding to fight against the opponent before them.

In the first clash, both teams were equal until Rasheed leveled up, which gave a boost to his and Kashmiri's damage rate and led to overpowering Veganca and Dancent.

"FIRST BLOOD" the loud upbeat music accompanied by red lighting and smoke gave more gravity to the announcement on the large screen that announced that Dancent's Evocatrice is the first blood.

{"I think that by now teams should avoid using Evocatrice in games against JLNC unless they want to be the first blood."} Gino Moring jested at the current flow of events

Artorlder leveled up next in the middle of his clash against El, which helped him to overpower El. However, his victory did not mean much as Quant and Opal overpowered Scancell and Empirst in the top lane.

It was one kill to three deaths data.

"Captain, I'm level 5," Kashmiri reported

"Opal, location," Rasheed called Opal

"He ran to the manticore's area," Opal replied and Kashmiri's Pylae rushed to the manticore's direction where the top-laner's shinigami, Chikara, is hiding.

As soon as she arrived, she launched a surprise attack, draining the remaining blood off Scancell's shinigami. After finishing off Scancell, she began fighting the manticore.

"Support," El called out

"We're dealing with Empirst and the Kitsune," Quant said

"I'm on my way," Key said and picked up the upgrade orb to upgrade her first skill before using it to finish off the manticore and claiming it for JLNC

She headed to the middle lane just in time to deal damage to Artorlder which then led to him missing his shot against El's shinigami.

"Thanks," El muttered and they teamed up against Artorlder, draining his blood within two attacks from both of them

"Hydra Lair, hide," Rasheed ordered

"Yes, Captain," El and Key replied as they finished off their opponent's tower to get even with Artorlder destroying theirs

They hid in the Hydra's Lair and they saw shinigamis from Cyanide Wolves coming one by one and dealing damage to the Hydra.

"Captain, they're here," Key reported

"I'm leveling up," Rasheed said

"We're on our way," Quant said

"Attack as soon as they come." Rasheed ordered

"Yes, Captain," Key, who has been itching to attack the opponents since she saw them arrive, said

Kashmiri's Pylae stayed hidden in the bush and when Quant's Sournoise was within her screen, she charged in by using Rapire on the closest opponent; Dancent's Evocatrice.

After dealing damage and draining Dancent's blood, she attacked the rest of the Cyanide Wolves members with her Rapire and Vorago, just as Quant's Sournoise, El's Luccicare, and Opal's Fortiz helped her in dealing against Empirst's Intrepidus, Scancell's Chikara, Veganca's Maesta.

The team fight in the Hydra's Lair ended in JLNC's favor with only Veganca and Artorlder, who joined the fight after resurrecting, surviving, and escaping back to their base.

They claimed the Hydra after draining Scancell and Empirst.

"Destroy the towers," Rasheed said

"Key, bottom lane with me, go." Rasheed called her out

After that order from Rasheed, they began destroying the opponent's towers. Key followed the Captain and they destroyed the opponent's tower in the bottom lane.

"Bottom lane cleared," Key reported

"Middle lane cleared," El reported

"Proceed to their base," Rasheed ordered them

"We're in the base," Opal reported

El soon joined Opal and Quant in destroying the towers in the Cyanide Wolves' base and dealing with Veganca and Artolder whose blood always refill when they approach their base tower.

"They've resurrected," Opal informed them when Dancent appeared

"Contain them," Rasheed ordered just as his shinigami and Kashmiri's shinigami arrived

"Yes, Captain," they replied

Another team fight occurred in the opponent's base.

Key alternately used Pylae's Vorago and Rapire, as El used Luccicare's Trave and Accantus, Opal, on the other hand, is waiting for the cooldown of Fortiz's ultimate to finish.

"I'm going back to base." Opal said

"Stay there," Rasheed ordered

"Quant, I'm low on blood." Opal called out

"I'm dying," El then said

They're all running low on blood; Key's shinigami only has half of its blood, and El's Fiore only has less than half of his blood. Empirst then hit Opal's Fortiz, draining his last blood.

"I'm dead, wait for me to resurrect." Opal said

"I'm dead too," El then added

Key's Pylae only has a little amount of blood left and with one hit from Empirst, she was killed as well.

"I'm dead," she announced

The members of Cyanide Wolves then began roaming the map, as they no longer have any towers left to defend after JNLC finished off their towers, they headed straight to destroying JLNC's towers.

"Ah, I'm dead." Quant then announced

"I'm back,"

"On my way,"

"I've resurrected."

El, Opal, and Kashmiri soon resurrected back on the map, they headed out of the base and began fending off the Cyanide Wolves players as they defend their towers.

"Head to the base," Rasheed ordered after he died

"On my way," Quant said

"Let's pull a small-scale team fight." Key suggested and their shinigamis began heading to where the opponents are

"Okay, go," El said

They began pressing the respective keys of their shinigami's attack, and the small-scale team fight became a large-scale one, with JLNC'S El, Opal, Kashmiri, and Quant against Cyanide Wolves members; Empirst, Scancell, Dancent, and Veganca.

"My ult's available," Key said

"A little help here," El said

"On it," she used her ultimate skill to wipe out the three opponent shinigamis

After finally acing the members of Cyanide Wolves, they headed to their base, this time led by Rasheed's newly resurrected Fidens, they began attacking the base until it crumbled down.

A star appeared on the screen followed by the seven-lettered word 'VICTORY' flashing on the screen as their fans went wild.

{"Congratulations to the season's champion, JLNC!"}

Yay! It's the last chapter of this Volume about Autumn's Play-off. Coming up next is the National League.

And oh, I have exams coming up. I'll be having my Exit Assessment on this coming 29th of June so I might not be able to publish chapters then.
