With Qin Feiâs Lilith as the solo-laner, there wonât be any solo-laner thatâs not cowed by her in the first half.
With Ye Hongâs second lifeline as the mid-laner, letâs not even talk about it; Peacock Plume is the one demon heâs accrued most experience in countering.
With the True Arrow and Sariel tag-team in the Bottom Lane, itâs even less worthy of notice. This will simply be a round of abuse play for Chronos and Jinghua Shuiyue.
Then, they just have Burial Sword left. Even Jing Yuâs Frozen Heart can defeat him in a solo. Need you even ask about Moonshadow Spider?
If you canât carry this match, which match can you carry?
So really, there is no reason not to let loose.
âHmm, shall I tell you a secret?â Jing Yu doesnât want to run his mouth when heâs around his teammates, but in a match up like this, he really canât control himself.
It really could be a bad habit developed after a long period of live streaming. If he doesnât do it a little before every match, he always feels like heâs not in his own skin.
Thankfully, his teammates all know how to accommodate him â Upon hearing these words, and despite clearly knowing heâll start sassing, Ye Hong still plays along theatrically, asking: âOh? And what secret is that?â
Jing Yu: âI can tell you, but you canât tell it to the Coach.â
Luo Yiming: âWhy not?â
Jing Yu: âIâm afraid itâll anger the Coach.â
Han Leng: âWhy will he be angry?â
Jing Yu: âMmnâŠâŠâ
Qin Fei: âRest assured. Nobody will leak it to the Coach. Iâll kill those who dare speak.â
Qin Fei says it in such a serious manner, Jing Yu canât help but flash a smile. Then, he reveals: âActually, amongst all the demons I play, Frozen Heart is the weakest.â
PGâs members: â???â
The Weakest?! That Frozen Heart which pentakilled in 2 minutes and led the team to a complete victory in 17 minutes, he is the weakest?!
What motherfucking bullshit are you feeding me?
Alright. They get why Jing Yu doesnât want this leaked to the Coach now â We promised to give it our all, but youâve been letting the waters flow this entire time? Moreover, youâre doing it in such a supercilious way too!
Jing Yu suddenly feels a bit embarrassed. He coughs lightly: âIâve said it before. Although Iâve been using Frozen Heart this whole time and Frozen Heart is indeed the one Iâm most comfortable and familiar with, I also know how to use warrior-class demons like Burial Sword. I donât think I play them badly. In fact, I donât even think my Burial Sword falls short of my Frozen Heart. He might actually outmatch him by a whole lot â A lot, a lot.â Pausing, âBut Frozen Heartâs still my favourite demon!â
âPfftâŠâŠâ Ye Hong is the first to give in, snorting, âLittle Goldfish, did you grow up on Cornetto**?â
(**Cornetto, a brand of ice-cream ćŻç±ć€ vs Cute ćŻç±: basically , heâs calling GF a cutiepie)
Jing Yu: âEr?â
âNo, itâs nothing, go onâŠâŠâ Ye Hong has a hard time restraining his laughter.
He flits a glance towards Qin Fei, who is beside Jing Yu. As expected, that face holds a subtle expression of one who wants to burst out laughing, and yet, is completely powerless to do so at the moment.
Jing Yu confidently goes on without noticing their reactions: âWhat I want to say is, I think my Moonshadow Spider outmatches my Frozen Heart. Or rather, I should say, anything I play is far better than Frozen Heart. This is the truth. Iâm not lying to you.â
PGâs members: ââŠâŠâ
âHeavens, what sort of God-level Jungler is this? Heâs clearly spouting haughty words. Yet, how can he still be so adorable?!
Theyâre gonna lose their heads at this rate!
Letâs be honest. If the match is not going on right now, they really will be lining up to ruffle Jing Yuâs hair.
This pure and lovely teen is in reality, a totally weak and frail little chick. But whenever he begins playing, everyone canât help but want to drop down to their knees and call him Daddy!
âThis moe gap, who TH can bear it?!
Qin Fei can feel himself getting a little restless. Speedily, he puts his focus back on the match, diligently commanding his Lilith to farm the creeps.
Having released his pent-up sass, Jing Yu only feels like heâs back in his own skin. His jungling speed is impossible to slow down.
Shadow Flash! Spiderweb! Maul! â Moonshadow Spider darts about the Jungle. Her tyrannizing, ferocious poise canât help but summon an oddly familiar feeling.
ăAs expected of PGâs jungler ah.ăHalfling canât help recall, ăI still remember the first time I saw Goldfish use Frozen Heart. At first, I even questioned whether his Frozen Heart could blend in with PG. But now, seeing him rampage like this â Itâs just like seeing the Qin Fei of the past, using his Satan to jungle!ă
ăI thought the same thing.ăCandy backs him up, ăAlthough both demonsâ abilities and classes are different, and as a result, we see a stark difference between them when theyâre jungling, this sort of bloodthirsty game is still something only PGâs members are capable of!ă
Back in the old days when Qin Fei was still the jungler, PG had another name. That is, The Tyrant of the Jungles.
No matter which team is up against them, nobody dared to stray into their Jungle in the first half. This is because the moment they do that, they can all forget about coming back alive.
âQin Fei never lets anyone who invades his jungle off!
And now, Jing Yuâs Moonshadow Spider has inklings of the same pattern.
Halfling suspects this to be a result of his long-term association with PG. He must have been influenced by PG! Thatâs why he grew as ferocious as them. But he would have never thought â This is a result of Jing Yuâs intentional imitation.
Jing Yu loves Qin Feiâs game style. For a long time, he wanted to be able to play in the same way as Qin Fei. But at the same time, he also loves the junglers in the assassin class. The dilemma hence lies in that both assassin and warrior classes have totally different ways of jungling.
Thus, for the sake of victory and scores, the competitive Jing Yu gradually deviated from Qin Feiâs tracks and created a game play that is most suitable for him.
One can also say that itâs because of this, Qin Feiâs game play is still etched into his bones. Whenever he accidentally lets loose, he will unknowingly expose the violent side of himself.
The facts have proven, his Moonshadow Spider is indeed quite strong:
Ganking the Bottom-Laners: Moonshadow Spider doesnât even bother to hide in the bushes â She directly charges out and attacks! A single dynamic combo is flung at Chronos and Jinghua Shuiyue, beating them till theyâre incapable of making heads from tails. Then, finally, Luo Yimingâs True Arrow makes his move, effortlessly taking down two heads!
Ganking the Mid-Laner: Scarlet Fury forces Peacock Plume to scramble back to the enemy turret with his tail between his legs. Moonshadow Spider instantly Shadow Flashes through the walls and tower-dives. Spiderweb, then Maul are thrown in succession! Subsequently, Shadow Flashing and Flashing one after another post-haste, she flees the turret with full health!
Ganking the Solo-Laner: Lilith and Satan are locked in an airtight showdown on the outskirts of the enemyâs defence tower. Nonetheless, Moonshadow Spider doesnât hesitate to barge in from behind the tower, tower-diving to seal off Satanâs only escape route. Subsequently, while tanking the tower defence, she ganks him with a combo-attack before Teleporting out of the tower!
ăItâs yet another tower-dive! Iâve already lost count of them!ăThe more Halfling commentates, the more hotblooded he feels,ăHold on a sec?! After Moonshadow Spider tower-dives Satan, she doesnât head back to her territory, but instead, rushes down towards the Mid Lane. What is she intending to do?ă
At this moment, the enemy Peacock Plume, Chronos, and Jinghua Shuiyue have all assembled in the Mid Lane. Even the jungler Burial Sword reappears in the vicinity.
Meanwhile, on PGâs side, their only member in the Mid Lane is still Scarlet Fury. True Arrow is currently conquering the Demonic Disk while under the protection of Sariel.
Scarlet Fury has CC. Moreover, Ye Hong always has a few dirty tricks up his hand when it comes to motion control. He can, with some difficulty, defend the base of the turret and keep those four demons in check.
Yet at this moment, what exactly does the low HP Moonshadow Spider intend to do by getting near them?
ăDoes Goldfish intend to go over to join Ye Zi in a 2v4*? This is too risky!ăSaying this, Halfling immediately withdraws his earlier excitement, scrunching his brows lightly, ăNo. This is no longer a question of risks. With an assassin-class demon and such low HP, rushing forward at this time is simply having a deathâs wish!ă
(*2 vs 4)
ăIt looks like Grey intends to use the strength of the whole team to topple the Mid Laneâs first tower.ăCandy explains, ăThey are lying in wait for their lane creeps. So long as their next creep wave* makes it, Scarlet Fury will have no choice but to abandon the turret.ă
(*Creep wave: Respawn of lane creeps. So, every set amount of time, the lane creeps suddenly increase in number due to more being respawned at their barracks.)
ăLetâs take a look at what Goldfish is planningâŠâŠ He attacks?!ăHalfling simply canât believe his eyes!
The low health Moonshadow Spider arrives in the Mid Lane, then wordlessly and directly lunges! He doesnât even seem to have the slightest notion of co-oping with his familyâs mage!
Jing Yu is currently in the zone. His fingers speedily and precisely fly over every key required.
The 2nd ability, Shadow Flash. Moonshadow Spider turns into an afterimage, perfectly dodging Peacock Plumeâs Ult. She doesnât lose half a drop of blood in this entire process.
The 3rd ability, Spiderweb. Moonshadow Spider hurls a spiderweb with a swing of her hands, accurately CCâing the ones in the back of the team. These happen to be the mage and the marksman. CCâing them to the point of excruciation, she executes a spectacular strafe to dodge Jinghua Shuiyueâs CC.
The 1st ability, Maul. Moonshadow Spiderâs five fingers turn into blades, mercilessly shooting towards the CCâed marksman and immediately slashing off a third of his blood.
Form Switch â Demon Form!
Moonshadow Spiderâs skin bursts open all over her body. The entire spider left in her place seems to swell in size. Even her colour theme makes a blatant switch into a glaring blood red.
Demon Form: 3rd ability, Heavens Encompassing Web Cage!
After waiting an excruciating amount of time for the webs to disappear, the enemy mage and marksman still havenât even got the opportunity to move an inch before theyâre CCâed by an even larger web. And this time, even the support Jinghua Shuiyue as well as Burial Sword, who had Teleported over to gank, are not spared. Theyâre all CCâed to the point where they canât even struggle.
Demon Form: 4th ability, Feast of Ten Thousand Spiders!
Visit lightnovelreader[.]com for extra chapters.
In a split second, countless spiders are shaken off from Moonshadow Spider. They make a blood frenzied surge towards the four demons. Under their venomous and devastating attacks, the four demonsâ blood drop at a steady pace.
Demon Form: 1st ability, Binge!
Moonshadow Spider turns into a bloody shadow, glutting down the four bloody demons in one bite.
In the hands of this demon form, this is a CC ability without AD. However, the venom from before hasnât faded!
System: ăMoonshadow Spider, First Kill!ă
System: ăThe enemy Chronos has been slain!ă
As a squishy marksman, he is naturally the first to be depleted of his blood.
One second later, the effect of Binge lifts. The three demons fortunate enough to survive are thrown back out on the ground. However, before they could react, theyâre met with the sight of Moonshadow splitting into numerous images and diving down on them â Itâs the Demon Formâs 2nd ability: Moonshadow Harvest!
System: ăMoonshadow Spider, Double Kill!ă
System: ăThe enemy Peacock Plume has been slain!ă
Almost at the same time where she slays Peacock Plume, Moonshadow Spiderâs Demon Form comes to an end. Teleport refreshes. Without missing a beat, Jing Yu releases Shadow Flash. Appearing behind Jinghua Shuiyue, he lunges forward to Maul!
System: ăMoonshadow Spider, Triple Kill!ă
System: ăThe enemy Jinghua Shuiyue has been slain!ă
Within a short window of time, heâs already accomplished a triple kill. Truth to be told, within that space of time, every person besides Jing Yu is utterly stupefied. They totally donât know what just happened???
Itâs a pity they will continue to maintain this state of stupefaction.
Shadow Flash! Spiderweb! â Moonshadow Spider uses these two abilities in short succession. She reappears behind Burial Sword in a blur, then CCâing him, opens a relentless series of AA!
Burial Sword grits through it till Spiderweb loses effect. At once, he Teleports with the intention of fleeing, but heâs CCâed in place by Scarlet Furyâs Blood Entanglement. Following closely, Scarlet Fury Ults without so much as a blink of an eye, finally taking down his head with a single Blood Drain.
In this team battle, Moonshadow Spider didnât pentakill, nor did she quadrakill. She only achieved a triple kill.
Nevertheless, this is a triple kill accomplished without the aid of his teammates. It carries more meaning than it seems.
âThe low health Moonshadow Spider trampled a 1v3.
ăWhat just happened?ăCandy thinks she must have hallucinated, ăReplayâŠâŠExcuse me, please replay it for a second.ă
Halfling also canât be concerned with calling for Jing Yu anymore. He gets the feeling heâs in a dream: ăEn, let us take a look at the replayâŠâŠ Slow down the video a bit. Just a bit more.ă
When the replay has finally slowed to an appropriate speed, Halfling is finally able to identify the moves Jing Yu used: ăShadow Flash â Spiderweb â Maul â Demon Form â Heavens Encompassing Web Cage â Feast of Ten Thousand Spiders â Binge â Moonshadow Harvest â Shadow Flash â MaulâŠâŠăHe repeats Jing Yuâs moves in order once more, and subsequently, he is completely dumbstruck, incapable of saying a thing.
The juggling of Moonshadow Spiderâs two sets of abilities, the CC, the attacks⊠How can this be? A seemingly haphazard catalogue of abilities was strung together perfectly by Jing Yu â This complicated, yet flawless, self-invented combo attack rendered the enemy completely at his mercy.
And the end result of that is â Moonshadow Spider wins a 1v3 with low HP.
What else can he say?
Halfling already canât say another word.
No. He is a live commentator. He has to say itâŠâŠ
ăIn the next round, Moonshadow Spider is a must-ban.ă
Those words are full of certainty, as though heâs stating a mere fact.
ăAnd then, in the next PGL, Moonshadow Spider must be barred from the League.ă
âEach and every one of these is caused by Jing Yuâs chilling display.
To be able to get Frozen Heart banned with nary an objection, and then, to launch Moonshadow Spider up from the underwhelming demons to the level of a bug, this player is definitely the dark horse of this season!
And yet, at this moment of time, in PG Clubhouseâs Training Room:
Luo Yiming: âEmmmâŠâŠ What happened just now? Can someone explain?â
Ye Hong: âEmmmâŠâŠ I donât know how to say it.â
Luo Yiming: âAh? Werenât you at the Mid Lane?â
Ye Hong doesnât reply for a while. After a few moments, he says with a grave face full of pensiveness: âI thinkâŠâŠ Goldfish, I better call you Daddy from now on ba.â
âErr?â Jing Yu wears a look of uncertainty. Before he gets to reply, he hears Qin Feiâs voice once again.
âThis hard-carry of yours sure is an overkill.â
Qin Fei speaks leisurely, leaning back with the edges of his lips tugging up, full of relish: âNow then. Here comes the question â How do the authorities plan to deal with this bug?â

Mara: That chain of attacks by Moonshadow Spider gave me such satisfying chills. More, Jiejie~~
Tamago: Moonshadow Spider: âŠâŠ [ïžâs Mara][Sits on Mara]
