Chapter 20: With Her Body as a Blade, Fearlessly Ripping Through OMG’s Dual Guns!

Even in ranked matches, securing a pentakill involves an element of luck. Achieving one on the professional stage is even more difficult. Now, Chen Yan, a newcomer to the scene, had taken a pentakill in a near one-versus-five manner...

Everyone’s scalp tingled with disbelief.

“Holy crap!”

“You’re unstoppable!”

“How is this even possible?”

The voice chat in the EDG team exploded instantly.

They had expected Chen Yan to carry, but had never imagined he would do so in such a dominant fashion.

After this play, Lucian was virtually invincible.

The entire OMG team was devastated.

Especially iCOn, whose expression grew dark and heavy.

To be so thoroughly beaten by a rookie in front of everyone—he had no idea how harshly the public would criticize him now.

Moreover, judging by the current situation, there was absolutely no chance for a comeback.

For a moment, iCOn felt a wave of despair.

Lucian’s pentakill enabled his team to push down OMG’s bottom lane tier two tower and secure a wave of gold.

This was a sudden windfall for Chen Yan.

He had already amassed significant gold from lane control and jungle farming, and now with the pentakill and a second tower, even after sharing gold with teammates, Lucian’s economy far exceeded everyone else’s.

The casters speculated on what items Lucian would buy after returning to base.

When Lucian bought a Black Cleaver outright, Guan Zeyuan’s eyes widened in surprise. “Wait, Lucian already has two and a half items?”

How much time had even passed in the game?

“This is a gift match,” Zhihuan said with a bitter smile. “If I weren’t commentating, I’d even suspect this was a ranked game.”

Everyone shared the same feeling.

The professional scene nowadays tended to have a slower pace. The LPL was relatively fast, but the LCK often saw matches with no kills for over twenty minutes.

Even in the fiercely competitive LPL, this game was testing everyone’s nerves.

Or rather, it wasn’t a fierce contest—it was Chen Yan’s solo showcase.

“What can OMG do against a Lucian with this build?”

The answer was simple: nothing.

With the Black Cleaver, Lucian had gained durability and a higher margin for error.

Combined with Mercury’s Treads to cleanse crowd control and Shen’s ultimate for support, as long as Lucian didn’t make a huge mistake, death was nearly impossible.

However, EDG faced the same old problem.

Despite their advantage, they couldn’t initiate a teamfight because OMG could easily avoid confrontation.

EDG tried several times but failed to start a fight.

“The enemy is too slippery!” Meiko frowned.

If OMG dragged the game out, the late game wouldn’t be easy for EDG either.

“See, it’s the same problem again.”

In the EDG backstage room, Abu’s smile had faded.

The lineup’s drawbacks were more significant than anticipated.

Even with such a big lead, they couldn’t be certain of victory.

---

If they had a different lineup, they could have pushed straight through by now.

Yet NOfe remained calm, looking at both teams’ economies. He smiled and said, “Our economy is still growing steadily; that means the problem isn’t that serious.”

“EDG just needs one opportunity to win.”

---

On EDG’s side, several players were calmly farming.

Chen Yan pushed a side lane alone while voraciously clearing jungle camps—both theirs and the enemy’s.

Though he hadn’t secured kills, Lucian’s growth was absurdly fast.

His level was soaring rapidly.

“At around the twenty-three-minute mark, I’ll have my third completed item and reach level sixteen.”

“Who can stop me then?”

From the start, Chen Yan hadn’t expected his teammates to carry. Choosing Lucian meant he had to set the pace himself.

With such excellent growth, he had enormous room for play.

He knew NOfe had worried about whether Lucian could close out the game.

Now, he was about to show NOfe how to win when the team couldn’t rely on stable teamfights.

---

The next few minutes were incredibly calm in the game.

Mainly because OMG kept avoiding fights, and EDG didn’t force the pace but focused on controlling neutral objectives.

The Dragon and Rift Herald were all secured by EDG.

Meanwhile, Shen and Lucian pushed side lanes, suppressing OMG’s minion waves.

As the Baron was about to respawn, Chen Yan instructed Irelia to place the Rift Herald in the mid lane.

Compared to the two side towers, the mid lane tower was especially crucial.

It stood at the center of the map, offering vision to both sides and covering a larger area.

Once the mid tower fell, OMG’s vision on both flanks would be darkened, making it easier for EDG to control neutral objectives.

Irelia obeyed the command and placed the Rift Herald in mid.

With a loud crash, OMG’s mid lane tier one tower was destroyed.

“No fight.” SmlZ simply said two words, and the whole team retreated.

However, as the Baron’s roar echoed, World6 asked a critical question.

“What about Baron?”

“We can’t give it up,” Xiyang said. “If they get Baron, both our side lanes will be smashed, and we don’t have champions capable of quickly clearing waves.”

“EDG might not dare to contest it. If they do, we can try to fight back.”

Although they had tried to catch Lucian and been punished with a pentakill, part of Lucian’s success was opportunistic.

After all, the opponents approached one by one. If they had all focused Lucian simultaneously, no amount of skill would save him.

With that in mind, OMG’s four frontline grouped to guard Baron, while Ekko with teleport pushed a side lane.

OMG wasn’t afraid to drag the game out—at least that way, they still had a chance.

Time quickly approached the twenty-two-minute mark.

“Don’t fight. Wait for me to come back,” Chen Yan said.

He returned to base to complete his third item: Trinity Force.

Now his build was Trinity Force, Berserker’s Greaves, Black Cleaver, Blade of the Ruined King, and Mercury’s Treads.

This setup gave his E ability a very short cooldown and balanced stats across the board.

---

At the same time, Lucian had reached level sixteen with a level three ultimate.

Emerging from the fountain, EDG already controlled most of the vision around Baron.

Shen stayed to guard Ekko, ready to support Baron at any moment.

“Just start Baron,” Chen Yan suddenly ordered.

This time, his teammates didn’t question him and began the objective.

“Is EDG rushing Baron?!”

Guan Zeyuan was stunned, as this wasn’t typical EDG play.

But EDG truly was taking Baron, and OMG noticed it too.

Due to limited vision, OMG couldn’t see everything clearly. They grouped up and moved closer, watching EDG’s progress on Baron.

Then, the next moment shocked everyone.

As OMG advanced in a group, Lucian slipped through the brush, then flashed through OMG’s blue buff wall and unexpectedly circled behind them.

“Ah?!”

“Lucian flanked!”

With the casters’ shocked exclamations, Chen Yan’s eyes locked on OMG’s backline.

He started with E ability, then followed with auto-attack, Q, auto-attack, auto-attack.

The devastating burst of damage poured out instantly.

Jhin was immediately reduced to low health and flashed away.

Malzahar ulted to suppress Lucian, but Lucian instantly used Mercury’s Treads to cleanse.

Then, Lucian launched W, followed by his ultimate—the Divine Gun—raking across Malzahar.

Malzahar, a mere support, couldn’t withstand Lucian’s damage and was left nearly dead, forced to flash away.

Though it seemed long, this all happened in a flash—OMG’s two damage dealers in the backline were both left critically low.

At this moment, OMG’s frontline snapped back to attention.

Maokai flashed and used W to root Lucian.

Chen Yan simply used E to pull back, and Shen’s ultimate landed timely over Lucian’s head.

Meanwhile, Chen Yan’s teammates converged from the front.

Caught in a pincer movement, the outcome was sealed.

Ekko’s teleport hadn’t even finished casting when the frontline battle was already over.

“Oh my god!”

“Lucian, wielding himself as a blade, flanks to shred OMG’s bottom lane and brings Shen into the fight…”

“This scene reminds me of Uzi back in the day.”

The casters gushed wildly in praise.

The chat flooded with cheers for Chen Yan.

Meanwhile, the match was already decided.

After taking Baron, EDG ended the game in one push, finishing in less than twenty-six minutes.

“Can it really be played like this?”

Back in the EDG backstage room, Abu and NOfe exchanged a glance filled with disbelief.

Neither had ever dreamed Lucian could end the match in such a manner.

Blooming in the darkness, dancing on the edge of a blade.
