Chereads / The Mid Laner Belongs To The Jungler / Chapter 38 - Caesar X Chase (1)

Chapter 38 - Caesar X Chase (1)

In any case, after the penta kill the enemy team rapidly surrendered with 5 votes.

Looking at the damage chart, K surprisingly outdamaged him by a small margin despite Li having more kills than him.

After these two games, Fu Yue was incredibly curious about 009's jungle play. If he was able to play this well in a fill position, how terrified was he in the jungle?

Coming back to the waiting room, Fu Yue asked out of consideration, "Want to take a break?"

[Number 009: I am fine.]

Without further ado, Fu Yue queued up for another game and surprisingly, it was matched almost instantly.

After getting fill two times in a row, he was rather calm in not getting his main role. However, the game finally found its conscience and gave them their respective main roles.

Fu Yue was almost brought to tears seeing the game assigned him to be a Mid-laner. Not to mention, 009 even got his proclaimed Jungler position so he had high expectations for their last match.

Going to the red side, Fu Yue was put on the third floor whereas 009 got to counter-pick.

Glancing at the banned heroes which were targeting the Jungler, Fu Yue probed, "Do you want me to grab someone?"

[Jungler]: No need.

Fu Yue internally complimented: I guess his hero pool is extremely deep.

Since the other party seemed to be confident, Fu Yue simply focused on his own Mid-lane match-up.

The enemy Mid laner was Dotte, someone who dealt a huge burst of single-target damage.

Fu Yue thoughtfully touched his chin, "009, what are you intending to play?"

To his response, 009 hovered on Caesar for his teammates to see.

Fu Yue's expression abruptly froze at the sight of this champion. Meanwhile, at the same time, another storm was brewing in the barrage.

[I knew it! I knew it! Ahhhhh]

[The talk about being friends is just a disguise!]

[They ain't playing the game, they are flirting!]

[Caesar has been picked, Yueyue, what do you have to say?!]

[Love is in the air~]

[Gosh, is Handsome Gege courting Yueyue?!]

This time, the chat was not speaking nonsense which posed a problem for Fu Yue to make a comeback.

Even though it hasn't been long since he joined the game community, he did know of some gimmicks regarding this hero.

Caesar was a high demon who fed on nightmares. He had no real physical form but to blend in the human world, he took on the form of a handsome nobleman and called himself Caesar.

He took joy in toying with his target and tormenting them to feed himself. In other words, Caesar marked his target and induced nightmares in them until they broke down.

Once his target died he would move on to another.

That's why Caesar's gameplay was a bit unique.

[Q]: Caesar casts a dread mark and deals damage to his target. The target will leave a dread trail that allows Caesar to gain movement speed and attack speed as he walks on the dread trail. His basic attacks will also start to heal him.

[W]: Caesar puts on a magic shield that can block a single ability. Upon successfully blocked, his attack speed will be doubled.

[E]: Caesar instills fear into his target's mind. If the target is still within the ability's range, they will be feared.

[R]: Caesar unleashes his demon form causing all of his enemies to temporarily lose their vision and launch himself at the nearby target.

[P]: Caesar likes to be close to his target. He may be your ally but in fact, he is not. Caesar can mark one of his allies and if he together with his partner killed any enemy champions or epic monsters, he would gain a Caesar mark. Each stack empowered his basic attack and permanently increased his health.

In the ABO world, Mark was something important. Hence, everyone took Caesar's mark in another meaning and turned it into something romantic.

After all, Caesar needed to work with another person to make his passive work that's why he was often used to playing between duos or couples.

Imagine picking him while playing alone and having bad teammates, his passive was as good as useless.

Since if his partner were to die, he would need to wait for another 90 seconds to be able to mark another person. During this period, even if he were to kill someone or some epic monsters he would gain no stack.

In addition, Caesar's partner was publicly announced to everyone so his partner was likely to be targeted throughout the whole game.

However, choosing Caesar was not without merit.

What happened when Caesar and his partner had a good rapport and were skilled players?

It was as good as GG.

Nonetheless, Fu Yue who came from another world was unable to find any ounce of romance in this champ. Since the concept of mark did not instill in his mind like others he felt there was nothing weird with Caesar's 'mark'.

Not to mention, he felt like playing Caesar with your lover might cause quarrels instead...

Recalling the other party's quiet demeanor, Fu Yue was simply surprised by his champ selection. Nevertheless, he soon became happy thinking of a certain possibility.

Is he that confident in my skills?

While Fu Yue was grinning ear to ear, the chat was still discussing Caesar.

[Caesar has a special voice line when he chooses not to change his partner!]

[Hehehe, surely Handsome Gege won't mark someone else otherwise it will be too heart-wrenching!]

[Actually... Is playing Caesar will land you a partner?]

[Me, I am the living proof ;)]

[Seriously?! Upstairs, do tell!]

[Cough... Well, we were in the same department. I didn't dare to confess so I started as a game buddy after knowing that he also liked to play TOBH. We started to get closer and I thought I should give him a hint so I started playing Caesar with him. You know, his voice lines mostly sound like a flirt so... He was doubtful and finally asked. I said yes I was flirting with you so he got embarrassed and disappeared for a while. A few days later, he asked me to meet and said that he was willing to try it out with me. We have been together for 4 years now ^^]

[Wow... That's like a drama]

[You are lucky. I tried it and the other person ghosted me :'(]

[RIP brother]

[My condolence]

Fu Yue briefly glanced at the chat before nonchalantly locking in Chase who was a bruiser and currently in the meta.

Caesar was an assassin so Fu Yue was going to be a front line and set the stage for him. Furthermore, it would be better to play someone who could survive on his own to receive his uninvited visitors.

[Yueyue is going all out huh]

[Chase is disgusting, balance doesn't exist in his dictionary]

[Never thought of it but Caesar x Chase kinda look hot together]

[AA couple? Hell yeah!]

[Aren't they coming from the same place?]

[Yeah, Caesar and Chase come from the Ainz Empire]

[Just one is a noble while another is a slave]

Fu Yue did look into Chase's background for a bit so he could understand what the barrage was on about. Unlike Caesar who lived every day interacting with beautiful people in a luxurious environment, Chase, on the other hand, was just a lowly slave.

Even without Caesar in his life, Chase's life itself was a nightmare.

Possessing strong magical power, Chase was sold by his parents to a high-rank person when he was seven years old. The nobleman who bought him owned an underground arena where people fought to the death and lived a life hanging by the thread.

Chase grew up in that kind of environment. Despite no one was optimistic about him being able to grow up into an adult, he stubbornly pushed through and came to where he is today.

He rebelled and killed those disgusting nobles. Building up his power, Chase was known as a terrifying rebel leader who caused unrest in the high society, especially the royal family.

Citizens in the Ainz Empire were scared witless by the mere mention of his name. There was even a song created to show how scary Chase was.

Oh the mighty sun is falling down

Darkness takes over as voices begin to drown

From afar, there is a dancing clown

Singing aloud hopping up and down

Oh the lively one was happy and vivid

The body no longer moves turning rigid

Drip drip and the smell is putrid

Crimson red dyes the entire land in haste

Here comes, The Underground King, Chase.

Chase was a tall and intimidating Alpha. There was a scar running down from his forehead to a little below the corner of his right eye but it did not hinder his handsomeness. His body was full of well-defined muscles showing through his tightly fitted outfit exerting his dominance as an Alpha.

He had aggressive and wild charms as a dangerous figure while Caesar was the embodiment of an elegant gentleman.

However, Caesar was the type who looked slender and thin on the outside but underneath his clothes, he had a chiseled body, and in no way was he weak.

Due to this topic, the direction of the barrage suddenly went awry once again.

[Say... Who is top, and who is bottom between the two?]

[Isn't it obvious? It has to be Chase who is a top! Look at those muscles!]

[*eye roll* Upstairs, did you check the official illustration of Caesar without a shirt on? He is screaming a top vibe from head to toe!]

[Hmm... It is hard to say. It is either a cold top with a manipulative bottom or a scary-looking bottom with a psychopath top, your pick]

[You think that Chase, a human can push down the high demon Caesar?]

[Well, Chase is said to be a high-level mage so technically, he is no longer a mere human. His lifespan is said to be the same as a demigod]

[Gamewise, I don't think Caesar can beat Chase]

[As long as you play well, Caesar can beat Chase!]

Fu Yue who was watching from the sideline couldn't help but speak his mind, "I think those two won't date each other even if they are the only ones left in the world."

Chase despised hypocrites like Caesar. On the other hand, Caesar hated those who were not under his control just like Chase.

In conclusion, Fu Yue bet that these two would rather die than get together as a lover.

Regardless, his viewers thought otherwise.

[If there is a will, there is a way!]

[I believe that there is a universe where these two will end up together!]

[I declare that Chase is the top!]

[No, Caesar is!]

[Chase!]

[Caesar!]

[Handsome Gege! Are you here?! What is your opinion?!]

[Right! He is picking Caesar so he should be on the Caesar ship right?!]

[Does it mean Yueyue is Chase then?]

Fu Yue's forehead was full of black lines.

How the hell is the topic suddenly steering back to him and 009?!

To make things worse, 009 actually typed in the team chat!

[Jungler: Well...]

Perhaps because Fu Yue talked about something unrelated to the game not long ago, the other side actually went through the chat and knew he was being asked by the audience.

Fu Yue instantly realized that 009 was going to share his opinion and he had a feeling that he would be implicated again.

As expected, his gut feelings were never wrong...

[Jungler: I am going to mark Chase in a moment.]

Meaning: I am the one in power in the bedroom.

[Damn, Chase ship just got blast! LoL]
