Classmancers - A MOBA Esport Story

Vol.8 Ch.9: Fighting for the Same Goal

Nia opened an attack on Top Lane. She summoned a quicksand underneath the Dark Knight and fired a fireball at him. That alone should bring the Dark Knight low enough to discourage him from fighting back. Except, the fireball didn't hit!

Even though the Dark Knight didn't see Nia's incoming rotation, he was prepared for the possibility. As soon as the quicksand formed at his feet, he blinked toward Nia and slipped past her fireball!

"A-Ah!" Nia jumped. Again, the demon stood in front of her. The iron-clad knight was coated in a dark miasma, ready to lay waste to everything his path.

A heavy slash. Just like that, Nia lost 25% HP. These attacks became even more dangerous than before! This Dark Knight packed himself with tons of power items! It was true terror!

I-I have to get outta here! Nia trembled. This was impossible. The power gap between them was too much. She had to run for it. Run. Run. RUN!

"Blow him away with wind!"

"Ah, r-right!" Nia turned around and activated Windstorm in the Dark Knight's face. The demon slashed her once more, then the winds pushed him away. Phew, Nia created some distance between them.

However, this was far from over. She had 50% HP left and the Dark Knight was hot on her trail. He'll rend her asunder if he gets close, so she had to get as far away as humanly possible!

The Dark Knight gave chase. This madman had no fear. Even though his HP was hanging at 35%, he was confident he was on top of the situation and there was nothing to worry about.

And, he was right. He was going to completely decimate Nia at this rate. She had run for her life!

"Wait," Yuel said. "Ult him."

"E-Eh? Now?" Nia flinched. This wasn't the time to pick a fight with the demon. She was about to die! She had to scram!

"Do it."

"O-ok!" Nia turned around and cast Meteor. The radius of the spell was huge so she didn't even need to spend any time aiming it.

A giant meteorite rained from the sky and crashed on the Dark Knight. It erased 25% so the Dark Knight was down to 10% now. But, he was very much alive and he wasn't happy about this development.

As if in retaliation, the Dark Knight raised his blade and swung it downwards from afar. A black slash of magic flew straight at Nia!

"Dodge-" Yuel was too late. The Dark Blast hit Nia straight in the face and eliminated 30% oh her HP.

He made a good trade. Yuel frowned. The Dark Knight realized he couldn't dodge the Meteor in time, so he opted for exchanging blows with Dark Blast. It cost him an additional 5% HP but he landed a hit. Now, he only had to land one more to finish this.

I should've told her to Dodge Roll right away. Yuel frowned. Darn it. Now, this situation became needlessly difficult.

The good news was that Dark Knight was now below 10% HP, which meant he no longer had access to Gate of Sheol. That was the option Yuel had to seal above all else. However, in the process, Nia ended up putting herself in even more damage than before. She was now one hit away from dying.

Originally, Yuel wanted her to stay and fight the Dark Knight to the death after the Meteor. However, with the situation coming down to the wire like this, that'd be suicide.

But, it should be fine. Yuel glanced at the mini-map. Help was on the way, that was the backup plan in case something goes wrong. For now, Nia should just focus on retreating.
