Chapter 255 Absolute Suppression
Faced with Lucian's seemingly inevitable Holy Light, Xiao Yan gently dragged his mouse to the lower right corner.
Draven's massive body completed an extremely slight twist in the blink of an eye. The golden holy light almost grazed his nose, creating only a gust of wind but causing no real damage.
"He dodged it! Xiao Yan's micro-management was amazing. He didn't even have shoes on, and he managed to dodge Lucian's Q with his positioning!" Miller exclaimed in surprise.
The moment he dodged the skill, Xiao Yan did not back down at all. Instead, he took a step forward to meet the pressure from Lucian and Braum.
"Clang!"
With a sickening metallic scraping sound, Draven's spinning axe flew out of his hand and slammed hard into Lucian.
With just one basic attack, and the extra physical damage from his Q skill "Spinning Axe," Lucian's health visibly dropped.
The flying axe shot into the air, its landing mark appearing to Draven's side and rear. Xiao Yan controlled Draven to gracefully step back, catching the axe steadily, while simultaneously delivering a backhand auto-attack, striking Braum, who was trying to step forward to apply his passive.
"Ouch! Draven's damage at level 1 is incomprehensible!" Wawa shouted. "iBoy tried to trade blows, but he couldn't win at all! Braum's Q skill was also blocked by WoIf's Thresh with his body. EDG's bot lane's attempt to contest the lane at level 1 actually backfired!"
iBoy watched his health drop to two-thirds, gritted his teeth, and had no choice but to retreat. He originally wanted to take advantage of Lucian's early-game strength and combine it with Braum's passive to exert pressure, but Xiao Yan's machine-like precise positioning and distance control left him feeling suffocated and helpless.
"Play it safe, wait until level two," Meiko said in a deep voice over the voice chat, keenly sensing the killing intent emanating from the opposing Draven.
However, Xiao Yan had no intention of giving them a chance to catch their breath.
Draven, having caught the axe, didn't falter in his attack frequency and began pushing the lane relentlessly. The two axes danced in his hands, each low-health minion being precisely last-hit, and the minion wave began an irreversible advance towards EDG's turret.
The game lasted 2 minutes and 15 seconds.
"SKT's bot lane duo is going to reach level 2 first! The melee minions in the second wave are down to their last sliver of health, and WoIf's Thresh is pushing forward!" Guan Zeyuan stared intently at the screen.
The moment the melee minion fell, Draven and Thresh simultaneously glowed with an upgrade light.
Level 2!
Almost at the same frame where the upgrade light appeared, WoIf moved.
flash!
A pendulum of doom!
Thresh's massive body instantly traversed the distance of Flash, appearing right in front of Lucian. He swung his E skill backward, violently swinging the unsuspecting iBoy back a considerable distance while simultaneously applying an extremely annoying slow effect.
"WoIf initiates with Flash E! Lucian is controlled! Xiao Yan follows up!"
The moment Xiao Yan leveled up, he instantly learned the W skill "Blood Rush". Draven let out a frenzied roar, his whole body bathed in accelerating blood light, like a wild beast that smelled blood, and rushed over with his double axes.
"Clang!"
The first flying axe struck, and Lucian's health instantly dropped below half.
iBoy reacted extremely quickly, using his E skill "Relentless Pursuit" to pull back the instant he was slowed, while simultaneously using Heal to restore his health and gain a speed boost. Meiko's Braum immediately used W to jump onto Lucian, raising the security door in an attempt to block Draven's subsequent damage.
But Xiao Yan's killing intent was already made up.
The instant Lucian used his E, Draven also used Flash!
Follow me!
Xiao Yan's teleportation position was extremely tricky. He did not teleport directly behind Lucian, but instead teleported to the blind spot on the side of the security door of Brûlé.
Catch the axe, refresh W skill, and activate Bloodthirst Dash once more!
"Clang!"
The second throwing axe bypassed Braum's defenses and struck Lucian precisely. The Conqueror runes stacked at Draven's feet, transforming into tangible damage.
"iBoy has to dodge! He has to dodge, or he'll die from another axe blow!" Miller roared.
Lucian transformed into a golden streak and flashed back to the edge of the turret's attack range.
But the instant Lucian landed, a ghostly green scythe, carrying the aura of death, roared out from the shadows.
A death sentence!
Before hooking, WoIf's Thresh deliberately made a feint to the left, and then accurately predicted Lucian's Flash position with his Q skill!
"Snap!"
The scythe was firmly locked around Lucian's throat.
"Predicted hook! WoIf hooked Lucian who flashed! It's over!" Doll clutched her head in despair.
Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Yan used Draven's W ability to accelerate and charged into the enemy base, braving the turret's aggro.
The third flying axe, imbued with the true damage and attack power bonus from a full stack of Conqueror, mercilessly slashed down.
"First Blood!"
The system's cold notification sound echoed throughout Summoner's Rift.
"First Blood! At just 2 minutes and 30 seconds into the game, Xiao Yan brutally killed iBoy under the tower! And he used his W's speed boost to pull himself out of the tower's attack range with a sliver of health, escaping the kill!" Guan Zeyuan gasped, "This bot lane—it's a disaster!"
Inside the stadium, SKT fans erupted in deafening cheers, while the LPL commentators and audience fell into a deathly silence.
iBoy stared at the gray screen, his hands clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white from the force. His pride in his laning ability seemed like a joke in front of this Draven.
"Oh my, I didn't react to that flashing E." iBoy's voice was a little hoarse.
"It's okay, just focus on your development, I'll be right back." The factory manager's voice came through the voice chat.
At that moment, the factory manager was controlling Sejuani, attacking the red buff. Seeing the bot lane get killed in just two and a half minutes, his heart sank to the bottom. He knew that if Draven was allowed to farm without pressure, the game would have ended twenty minutes ago.
The game lasted 4 minutes and 10 seconds.
After clearing the bottom half of the map, the factory manager's Sejuani bypassed the usual river vision and sneaked over from the triangular bush behind EDG's bottom lane tower.
At this moment, Xiao Yan had the minion wave firmly controlled in the middle of the river. Draven kept two spinning axes in his hands, like a patient hunter waiting for his prey to make a mistake.
"The factory manager is here! This flank is well-positioned; SKT's bot lane has no vision! Xiao Yan is pushing too far; we have a chance to catch him and kill him!" Miller's eyes rekindled with hope.
"Go!" the factory manager roared in the voice chat.
Meiko's Braum initiated the attack, immediately flashing and using his Q skill "Winter's Bite" to smash Draven.
Almost simultaneously, the factory manager's Sejuani emerged from the shadows, using her Q skill "Arctic Assault" in conjunction with Flash, and the massive boar became a blur as it charged straight at Draven!
Sejuani's Q-Flash, combined with Braum's Flash-Q, forms EDG's most lethal crowd control chain in the bot lane. If they manage to control the enemy, combined with Lucian's burst damage, Draven is guaranteed to die.
However, just as Sejuani was about to collide with Draven...
A white light shone on Draven.
Purify!
Xiao Yan's reaction speed was beyond human limits. He didn't even wait for the pig girl's knockback effect to fully take effect; he instantly used purification upon contact, releasing the control.
Immediately afterwards, Draven used his E skill "Pulverizing Axe" to his side and rear.
The two giant axes carved two deep furrows in the ground, not only interrupting the charging Sejuani, but also knocking back and slowing down the following Braum.
"Instantly countered! Xiao Yan instantly countered Sejuani's Q-Flash! He even interrupted Clearlove's subsequent actions with his E skill! What kind of monstrous reaction is this?!" Wawa shouted in horror.
Having averted a deadly crisis, Xiao Yan did not choose to run away.
"Wolf, lantern," Xiao Yan calmly commanded over the voice chat.
Thresh threw a lantern behind him, but it wasn't for Draven to escape; it was for the mad dog charging into the jungle.
"roar-
'
With a deafening battle cry, Peanut's Olaf, using the Predator's speed boost, ignited Ghost, picked up Thresh's lantern, and crashed into EDG's three-man formation like a cannonball!
"Peanut is counter-ganking too! SKT's jungler is right behind us! This is a 3v3!" Guan Zeyuan shouted.
Olaf activated his W skill, wildly swinging his double axes, and directly stuck to Sejuani, who had no skills available.
Xiao Yan's Draven, after establishing a safe distance, began a brutal massacre.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
The flying axes rained down on Sejuani. Although Clearlove was a jungler, he couldn't withstand Draven's overwhelming sustained damage in the early game. Just three axe blows and Sejuani's health was almost gone.
"Double Kill!"
Draven secures a double kill!
Seeing that things were going badly, iBoy and Meiko had no choice but to use all their movement skills and flee back to the tower in a sorry state.
"It's blown up, completely blown up." Miller slumped into his chair, his voice filled with despair. "Four and a half minutes in, Draven has three kills. EDG's bot lane is unplayable in this game."
Upon returning to the city, Xiao Yan immediately pulled out a Storm Greatsword and a pair of straw sandals.
When he returned to lane, iBoy's Lucian didn't even have the chance to glance at the minion wave. If Lucian dared to take a single step forward, Draven would activate his W, charge in, and chop off a third of his health with a single axe strike.
This is no longer a confrontation; this is one-sided bullying.
The game lasted 8 minutes and 30 seconds.
SKT's snowball effect is getting bigger and bigger. Top laner TheShy's Jayce has a 30-CS lead over Ray's Ornn, while mid laner Faker's Zoe has Scout's Syndra pinned under the tower.
But the worst off is still the bottom lane.
Xiao Yan's Draven had already dealt Lucian a full forty slashes, and he had single-handedly destroyed three layers of the turret's plating.
"SKT is about to tower dive." Guan Zeyuan looked at the dense red signals on the minimap. "Faker's Zoe pushed the lane and headed straight for the bottom lane, and Peanut's Olaf is also coming with the Rift Herald. This is a four-man gank on the bottom lane!"
On the big screen, a large wave of cannon minions was pushed by Draven to EDG's bottom lane tower.
Faker's Zoe precisely cast a long-range Starfall through the wall, and with the help of a Sleepy Bubble, put Braum to sleep right under the tower.
"Make your move," Xiao Yan coldly uttered.
Olaf activated his ultimate, Ragnarok, becoming immune to all crowd control and charged in, tanking the turret's damage. Thresh's hook landed precisely on the asleep Braum.
Xiao Yan's Draven activated his W skill, and the flying axe in his hand resembled the scythe of death.
One axe blow, two axe blows!
Bron's massive body crashed to the ground.
iBoy's Lucian activated his ultimate "The Culling" to try and clear the wave, but Draven was completely unreasonable. Despite the damage from Lucian's ultimate, he managed to kill him under the tower with just three auto-attacks.
"Double Kill!"
"Draven has gone berserk! Five kills! And he cashed out! He's cashed out all the bounties from the 'Draven Alliance' passive! He's going to go straight for Bloodthirster when he goes home!" The doll's voice was trembling.
With the Rift Herald's charge, EDG's bottom lane tower fell just over 9 minutes into the game.
The economic gap widened to a terrifying 4,000 in less than ten minutes.
The atmosphere in EDG's match room was extremely tense.
The factory manager gritted his teeth, fine beads of sweat forming on his forehead. He tried to find an opportunity in the top lane, but TheShy's Jayce had extremely strong anti-gank awareness, giving him no openings whatsoever.
"Let's switch lanes, I'm going to farm in the bottom lane for a bit." Ray sighed, controlling the underfarmed Ornn as he headed towards the bottom lane.
But he underestimated SKT's ruthlessness, or rather, he underestimated Xiao Yan's murderous intent.
The game lasts 12 minutes.
Draven, equipped with Bloodthirster and Berserker's Greaves, appeared in front of the bottom lane's second turret.
Facing Ornn defending under the tower, Xiao Yan didn't even glance at him, directly crossing the minion wave and activating his W ability to charge forward.
"What is Xiao Yan going to do? Is he going to dive under the second tower and solo kill a full-health Ornn?!" Miller exclaimed.
When Ray saw Draven charging at him, he immediately used his Q skill to slow him down, and then used his E skill to crash into the wall in an attempt to knock Draven into the air.
But Xiao Yan's movements were like a ghost, a light, right-angled dance step perfectly avoiding Ornn's knock-up. Then, his E skill "Pathfinder Axe" interrupted Ornn's attempt to activate his ultimate.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
The Bloodthirster's terrifying lifesteal and attack power made each of Draven's throwing axes feel like a cannonball. Ornn's prized tankiness was like paper in front of Draven.
Just five seconds.
Ornn, at full health, was brutally killed by Draven under the second tower!
"Rampage!"
Draven is almost a god!
"This is outrageous! Is this the kind of damage an ADC can deal? He's killing Ornn like he's a squishy champion!" Guan Zeyuan held his head, his face full of disbelief.
"This is Xiao Yan's Draven—the ultimate violence, the ultimate suppression. He doesn't reason with you; if you appear in his sight, you're doomed." Wawa shook her head with a wry smile.
The game lasts 18 minutes.
With a 10,000 gold lead, SKT directly approached EDG's mid-lane high ground.
The five EDG players huddled under the tower, making a last-ditch effort.
"We can't retreat any further, or we'll lose our high ground. I'm initiating the team fight, you guys follow up with damage, we have to take down Draven instantly!" The factory manager made the final decision in the voice chat.
Sejuani unleashed her ultimate ability, "Frost Prison," targeting Draven behind the crowd.
But WoIf's Thresh reacted extremely quickly, flashing in front of Draven to take the fatal crowd control for him.
"Attack! EDG is going all out! Ornn has called for a sheep! Scout's Syndra flashes and pushes the ball!" The three commentators shouted hoarsely in the commentary booth.
