"He's here!" Marim exclaimed. "Get hiiiiim!"
"On it!" Nahum leapt into the scene from beyond the jungle wall. WHAM! He crashed on Memer like a perfectly aimed missile! Good. All according to calculations!
Right after landing, Nahum unleashed Mighty Roar, giving his opponent no chance to rest! He calculated all these inputs in advance for this moment. Everything was going according to plan.
Frankly, this was a risky assault, the kind Nahum normally wouldn't go for of his own volition. But, since he had already gotten himself involved in this madness, he was going to put on his best performance. The stakes were high, but the rewards would be just as great if he and Marim pulled this off.
"Alright, let's go!" Marim joined the fray. She was the "prey" just a moment ago, but now she was about to turn the tables on her assailant!
Memer didn't see this coming. The situation turned into a 2v1, just as Marim envisioned in her simulation. So far, so good.
The joint counterattack caught the enemy completely off guard. The poor lad had no idea how to respond.
"D-Dang it! What the actual heck!?" Luke jumped. "They counter-ganked my ass, man!"
Yuel sighed. "That's what you get for charging in without discussing it first."
"I was sure everything would be fine, dang it. Welp..." Luke nervously backstepped as he hacked away at the Lionfolk that was sticking to him like glue. "Oh noes. Why didn't you stop me, man!?
"I missed the opportunity," Yuel explained. "I was about to warn you, but you already charged in."
"Heh, I'm fast as fuck boi!" Luke did everything in his power to maintain a cheerful facade despite the grim situation he was in.
This is the one time I wished my prediction was wrong… Yuel frowned. The scene he was witnessing was the worst-case scenario he had calculated. Unless the enemy was going to misplay somewhere, things were about to get really bad, really fast.
So, what now? Luke was caught in a vicious 1v2. There was little to no chance of slipping away alive.
"Sorry, I'm not gonna help you clean up this mess," Kai said. "I'm still clearing minions, so no way I can get there in time to do anything meaningful."
"Yes," Yuel agreed. "There's no point even trying, Luke, you're on your own there."
Luke turned pale. "Heh. Thanks a lot, guys..."
"You can try to retreat, but it likely won't work."
"Very encouraging, man. 10/10 Speech."
"So," Yuel continued. "The best you can do is deal as much damage as possible, especially to the DK."
"Bleh. So, you want me to hit DK? Alright, gotcha!" Luke had only been smacking the Lionfolk until now because that MathProfessor dude was right in his face. But the DK finally caught up, so it was time to trash Maverick instead!
Heh. You lameos think you're in total control here, but you've got no idea how hard Orc goes! Luke unleashed Scourge, whipping Maverick right in the face! The damage wasn't amazing, but it stunned the target in place.
Now, get ready for the Orc Special! Luke followed up with Sledgehammer, swinging that beeg boi at both enemies at once! BAM! Double hit!
Once again, the damage wasn't actually all that scary. That's just how flaccid Orc's skills were. All of this was just an appetizer before the main dish: the basic attacks!
WHAM! Luke swung the big hammer again, this time as a basic attack. It hit both the Lionfolk and the DK, but this time for some massive ass damage!
Despite the debuffs from Mighty Roar, Luke still deleted almost 15% HP per hit. Yes, that's right. He practically deleted 30% HP in total with just one swing!
This was the third successful basic attack he landed on Professor in this fight, so that math nerd was already down to 50%. Meanwhile, Maverick was at 80%.
It's tempting to keep dunking on the math guy. Maybe I can kill his nerdy ass. Luke thought. But I doubt it's gonna be that easy.
His own HP was already below 50%. And Maverick woke up from the stun; this was a bona fide 1v2. Luke was operating on borrowed time here.
Well, for now, I can just keep smacking both of them. Since both targets were conveniently in front of him, Luke swung at them again. BAM! DOUBLE HIT! EZ.
Unfortunately, his opponents weren't stupid. They realized he could hit both of them in this position, so they circled around him in opposite directions. Now, Luke had to actually focus on one of them.
Dang, taking out the Lion is really tempting, but I doubt that's gonna happen. Luke had already resigned to his fate. Alrighty then, let's focus the DK like Yuel wanted.
Luke switched back to his axe and swung at Maveric. BAM! 15% HP deleted!
However, the girl wasn't fazed at all. SWISH! She sliced through Luke with her dark blade! And, at the same time, claws slashed him from behind. WHISH!
Weeeeelp. Luke smiled wryly. I'm cooked for real.
But it wasn't over yet. BAM! Luke smacked Maverick again! Another 15% HP gone!
Alas, none of this was enough…
『You have been killed!』
