Chapter 659

Caught off guard, Digital Sabers reacted a few seconds too late.

The screen exploded with light and sound as both teams unleashed their abilities, the intense clash echoing throughout the arena.

"First blood!" Juniper landed the final blow on the enemy's Player 2, whose health was already low, her damage output skyrocketing.

"Double kill!"

Player 3 tried to escape but was caught within Juniper's range. After a brief, futile exchange of abilities, he met the same fate as his teammate.

MystiCat was handling the remaining two. Just as his health was about to hit critical, Juniper threw out a massive ultimate, stunning both enemies and rendering them immobile. Seizing the opportunity, she and MystiCat unleashed their maximum damage.

"Triple kill!"

"Quadra kill!"

The announcer's voice boomed, crediting all four kills to a single player: Juniper.

MystiCat was completely dumbfounded. Something was off. In the chaos of that last fight, for a split second, he felt like he was watching Demon play. Only Demon possessed that level of skill.

"You..." MystiCat opened his mouth, unable to stop himself from asking.

“Quiet,” Juniper cut him off, having no time for his questions as she formulated a new strategy.

The four members of Digital Sabers lay defeated in a neat row. They were beyond shocked.

"What kind of playstyle is that?" one of the Digital Sabers members asked, his voice hoarse.

"It's Demon's," their captain replied, his face grim. "After all these years, I can't believe someone else managed to master his signature technique.”

Demon's playstyle could be

summed up in one word: chaotic. It was utterly unpredictable, impossible to anticipate. He would appear out of nowhere and strike you down before you could react. His mastery of his abilities was so complete that it left opponents with no chance to counter. For other players, facing him was a nightmare.

"The moment she subbed in, Neverfall Navigators completely changed," another teammate added, his face etched with worry. "Captain, the rest of this match is going to be tough."

"Tough or not, we fight," the captain said, his fingers tapping the keyboard as he stared at the screen. "We have to win this final game, no matter what."

His meaning was clear. They would use any means necessary, fair or foul, as long as they won.

But it was no use. Even when Digital Sabers resorted to dirty tricks, they couldn't stop Juniper's onslaught. With each kill, her power grew exponentially By the late game she barely had to try to decimate her opponents. Digital Sabers' morale crumbled, and they came close to smashing their keyboards in frustration.

A collective gasp rose from the crowd. Digital Sabers' main tower fell. Fifth game, victory for Neverfall Navigators.

The final tournament score, in a best-of-five, was 3-2. This year's WKL eSports champions were Neverfall Navigators.

Seeing the final result, the members of Neverfall Navigators sat frozen in their chairs, stunned and still processing what had just happened.

Suddenly, the arena erupted in thunderous applause and cheers. Everyone was chanting “Juniper” and “Neverfall Navigators."

Across the stage, the members of Digital Sabers, who had been ready to pop the champagne just an hour

ago, sat in stunned silence, thetain

facesdarker than coal. Their captain just kept muttering, "Impossible."

They had been so close to ne

championship. How could they have lost?

After a long moment, the captain of Digital Sabers stormed over to the judges' table.

“I want to report an illegal substitution by Neverfall Navigators,” he declared angrily.

“She's not a registered professional player. She is not eligible to compete!”

The crowd's cheers died instantly. Come to think of it... Juniper really wasn't a pro player. Did that mean the results of this match would be invalidated?!
