Chapter 1265: End Game (5)
Very obviously, with his low HP, it would have been an easy task for any of the three opponents to throw a spell and kill him. But all three of them walked right past him.
Bamboo felt the insult at once.
Gripping his mouse tightly, he went back to the base to recharge.
Then he would wait for Prince to resurrect and return to the top road.
However, ten minutes.
Back on the top road.
Bamboo stuck by Prince’s side nervously, afraid that the enemies would charge up to kill him.
This time round though, the group took the opportunity of the damage done to the turret and killed Prince. And they left the support with just that bit of HP so that he survived.
Prince was livid, “Damn! They are doing this on purpose? Support, what’s the matter with you? Charge ahead! If you had just charged ahead a little more, they would have killed you. What are you so terrified of?”
It was alright if the support got killed a few times, the damage would have been minimal. But if Prince got killed too often, then it would be detrimental to the champion’s development.
Bamboo was rashly berated.
In the match that followed, they were attacked again and again. Prince frowned and his expression turned stormy.
Bamboo, on the other hand, felt his mind go blank.
It wasn’t that situations like this had never happened in the past.
Because the other team knew that Prince was a formidable player, whenever they played against PC Team, they would aim to hinder the development of Prince’s champion.
But in all of those times, Prince and Bamboo had calmly discussed the game strategy with each other. This time though…
Prince was flustered too.
The support knew that if he had died and helped Prince survive, then he would have done his job.
And if both the support and Prince died, then it merely showed they had a strong opponent and that couldn’t be helped.
But now, damn it! Prince got killed on every occasion, the support would survive with HP left.
Was there something not quite right about it?!
Sparing the support’s life was definitely a deliberate move by the opponent, and it was probably to cause bad feelings between Prince and his support. Hence, they were trying to be subtle about it.
In addition, when Prince was slayed, he got frustrated, so naturally he was not paying too much attention to the support’s situation.
This greatly angered Prince.
After taking his anger out on his support with a few harsh words, of course Bamboo’s state of mind deteriorated.
His mind was now focused only on one thing.
I can’t.
I’m a dumb support.
Without me, Prince can go much further.
But he was too muddled to think that they were already the national champions.
Bamboo was in a daze, causing him to be playing below par.
In a later team battle, a wrong move he made caused Prince to lose his life. Lacking a player in the losing strategy and unable to properly carry out their strategy, they suffered a crushing defeat.
Right up till the time that their nexus got blown apart, Bamboo’s mind was a mess.
After the match ended, he sat there in a daze, staring at the computer.
Prince, on the other hand, looked gloomily at the support and asked, “What’s the matter with you? Are you feeling unwell?”
Bamboo kept silent.
That made Prince even angrier and he said, “Well, say something. I trusted you to look after my back, but you turned and walked away. I was stabbed by the opponent. What was that all about?”
As a young man, his temper was rather explosive.
Especially when his support had not been himself at all throughout the match.
But Prince did not know how much pressure his support was facing.
Prince was going to continue his tirade, when his support suddenly threw his mouse down and said, “I’m not playing video games anymore.”
Prince was stunned. “What did you just say?”
Bamboo immediately started crying and said, “I’m no good at gaming! I don’t know how to play a good game! I’m stupid!”
