League of Legends in Multiverse — Chapter 4

"Void Predator!" Lianye darted out from behind his prey, driving the Dagger in his left hand viciously into the wild rabbit's body. The crimson blood made him, who had never even killed a chicken before, feel slightly nauseated. Yet it also stirred a faint excitement in the hunter's will he had inherited.

"This feeling of slaughtering prey... is truly exhilarating!"

Void Predator (Passive Skill).

Range: 6.5 meters (can be enhanced based on the Bone Tooth Necklace's Trophy Stacks)

When Rengar is in brush, invisible, or outside an enemy target's line of sight, his next attack will directly pounce on and kill the target. Furthermore, every time Rengar uses a skill against an enemy, he accumulates one point of Ferocity. After accumulating 5 points of Ferocity, Rengar's next skill will be enhanced and gain additional effects.

This long-range ambush skill made Lianye's hunting much easier. Ordinary wild animals simply had no chance of escaping before such an ability.

However, the Pride Stalker's Giant Hunting Blade also thirsted for blood—the strongest prey in this world's hunting grounds: Titans.

Pounce onto a Titan's neck, ruthlessly slash down with the Dagger, carve off a piece of flesh from its neck, earn the glory of a legendary hunter, and claim the Pride Stalker's trophy!

After hunting his prey, Lianye discovered that his mastery of his Hero Ability had increased slightly, even though he had merely caught harmless wild rabbits as prey.

—But in an RPG, even killing a defenseless slime that looked like a lump of snot would grant experience points, wouldn't it?

Yet after killing his prey, the Bone Tooth Necklace—which should theoretically have yielded trophies, increased his Trophy Stacks, and enhanced his attributes—showed no change whatsoever. Lianye's hopes of rapidly increasing his strength through this piece of equipment were dashed.

How could such a little thing possibly qualify as the Pride Stalker's trophy?

"Do I have to hunt more prey to improve my mastery of the Pride Stalker's inheritance? I wonder how much it would improve if I could take down a Titan on my own." The corners of Lianye's lips curled up slightly. After calming down, he instead felt a little amusement and anticipation. "This kind of game-like setup is exactly what I'm best at."

Lianye tightened his grip on the Giant Hunting Blade in his right hand. Such a large, sharp weapon was difficult to put to use when hunting wild rabbits.

But the prey this weapon truly needed to face was not creatures like rabbits, but far stronger prey.

—Titans!

"Roar!"

The hunter's figure pounced forward. His left-hand Dagger killed another wild rabbit as prey, and Lianye let out a faint, excited roar like the Pride Stalker after bringing down prey.

He cut open the rabbit's hide with the Dagger, washed it clean, skewered it, and roasted it over the fire he had built, adding the spices he had found in the Titan world over the past few days.

The aroma of roasted meat wafted through the air. In this desolate stretch where forest and grassland met in the Outside Wall Area, it was already a first-rate delicacy.

"This is already the fifth day, isn't it?" Lianye casually tore at the rabbit meat in his hands and sighed faintly. Poorly prepared roast rabbit with its heavy grassy stench was utterly unappetizing to any normal person, but did he have that many choices in this world?

No matter what, the importance of staying alive outweighed something as pointless as being picky.

During these days of wilderness survival, Lianye spent every day hunting and training himself, while at night he rested atop the trees in the forest. His life was extremely dull and monotonous.

Since he did not know whether Titans might suddenly appear, Lianye used the scouting eyes provided free by the Bone Tooth Necklace to place his wards along the broad paths through the woods.

Furthermore, as a legendary hunter and a beast brimming with wildness, the Pride Stalker's abilities had greatly enhanced his senses as a Summoner when it came to danger.

"...To stop Titans from ganking me?"

The thought made Lianye want to laugh.

The vision provided by his wards and his own eyes appeared in his mind at the same time, as though two LED display screens had appeared inside his head.

At first, he was somewhat unaccustomed to receiving double the vision and information. After all, it was impossible to have a God's eye view like in a game of League of Legends. Still, with only two screen perspectives, he could gradually adapt to and process the amount of information.
