Just like when he first acquired the skill and William Thompson grabbed the hand of the boy behind him, even though his eyes hadn’t seen anyone approaching, his ears must have caught some subtle sounds, and the warning in his heart forced his hand to make a reflexive move before his brain could react.

After figuring this out, William Thompson, who was heading toward the dragon river, couldn’t help but curl his lips into a slight smile.

He glanced at the minimap in the lower right corner, paying as much attention as possible to the enemy’s movements along the lines and his own team’s vision blind spots.

In an instant, countless pieces of information flowed into his mind like a trickling stream, and all sorts of mysterious premonitions surged up, making him savor the feeling.

......

Mystic Shot!

In the dragon pit, EZ raised his hand and cast a Q skill at the Infernal Drake, causing the dragon to flap its wings and breathe fire.

William Thompson had just returned to base to recover and, without any hesitation, pinged for his teammates to start the dragon.

Even though they had just taken down Theshine, William Thompson’s team was still at a huge disadvantage, 4/12 overall.

Now that the enemy was down a player, they had to seize this opportunity as quickly as possible.

Otherwise, if the enemy really secured two Infernal and one Mountain elemental drakes, it would be even harder to make a comeback, lead the team to victory, and complete the system’s mission.

Meanwhile, in Rocky’s livestream, he was complaining in his heavily accented Mandarin.

“They’re starting dragon! Bot lane, hurry over!”

At the same time, his Nidalee switched from human to cougar form, leaping nimbly through the river, trying hard to disrupt William Thompson’s team.

Rocky circled to the back of the dragon pit, switched back to human form, and placed a control ward.

Although the control ward was quickly destroyed, Rocky still used the brief vision to throw a Q skill [Javelin Toss] into the pit, which landed on EZ’s Biluo Bridge with a hiss!

It had to be said, even though Nidalee had long been reworked and no longer had the one-shot power of her S3 days, the damage to a squishy target was still considerable—EZ instantly lost more than half his health.

EZ Biluo Bridge was both shocked and angry, immediately typing, “Damn Henry Thompson’s dumbass support, where’s your shield? Where did the shield go?”

Pressing F to enter tank mode and seeing hope for a comeback, he had just unmuted EZ.

He thought the team atmosphere would improve, but instead, he was met with a spray...

“Are you brain-dead? Playing EZ and getting hit by Qs from bot to bot, how bad are you?”

“Trash, you...”

“Enough, enough, my bad, my bad.”

Biluo Bridge was about to type back, but William Thompson took the blame himself.

“My reaction was slow just now, didn’t put up wind wall. Calm down, focus on the dragon first.”

Seeing William Thompson suddenly take the blame, his livestream chat exploded again!

And this time, even the new haters were shocked, thinking to themselves, is there really such a cultured and easygoing team player in this world?!

“Damn! This is way too weird!”

“Did they swap players? Is this still the Brother William who brags when he wins and lectures when he loses?”

“Wasn’t Brother William always known as the ultimate blame-dodger? I’ve seen him flame four teammates in ranked.”

“Wuwuwu, my debate champion is gone, now he’s just a point slave.”

“Brother William has changed, my youth is over.”

In the match, EZ was also left speechless.

After all, as a mobile AD champion, with E skill [Arcane Shift], it’s hard to get hit by non-targeted skills.

But this game, he’d been hit by quite a few.

He had a point blaming Braum for not shielding, since supports are supposed to protect the AD, but the happy wind man (Yasuo) had no such obligation.

Now that William Thompson had taken the blame, even Biluo Bridge, thick-skinned as he was, couldn’t bring himself to flame anymore.

Even though it was just placement, the international server on the Summit is no joke, and players at Biluo Bridge’s rank have some self-awareness.

William Thompson, however, had no time to think about all that.

After typing, he kept a close eye on the bot lane movements, always alert to the river between the dragon pit and the tri-brush, where their vision had been cleared.

Next, when the dragon’s HP dropped to a third, another control ward was placed.

As expected, in the blink of an eye, the control ward was destroyed by the purple team.

But the moment the ward was cleared, William Thompson suddenly felt a jolt in his heart, a sense of foreboding.

With the system’s presence, he had every reason to trust his instincts.

Without hesitation, William Thompson’s Yasuo flicked his longsword and suddenly cast a howling wind wall toward the tri-brush!

Face the wind!!!

Almost at the same time, a dazzling burst of rainbow light and a blue orb flew over the wall from behind the dragon pit, only to be instantly dissipated by the wind wall!

Crescendo!

Shocking Orb!

It was Sona’s ultimate and Xerath’s E skill!
