Chapter 184
Sharon glanced at the minimap and keyed up the team voice chat. “Mage, stay put, Joan, come with me. Warrior, bait them out.”
The enemy team took the bait. All five of them rushed to the canyon, but then they found no one was there.
“Hey, where are you? Scared?” one opponent taunted over all–chat.
Sharon replied coolly, “Ten seconds.”
“Ten seconds? This isn’t grocery shopping. If you’re too chicken to show, we’ll kill your mage instead.”
With that, the enemies rushed toward Mid Lane, only to get ambushed from behind by Warrior, disrupting their formation. They panicked, thinking Shadow had struck, but it was just a feint.
Just as they regrouped, Sharon’s voice cut through. “By the way, your jungle is mine now.”
The opponents froze. Their entire jungle had been stolen.
The next second, Sharon’s jungler erupted from the side lanes. The mage unleashed her ultimate, freezing the enemy jungler with perfect crowd control.
Pentakill! The battlefield fell silent. The viewers in the livestream, however, got excited. [Awesome! My idol!]
[Wait, Shadow’s playing kinda passive now. He took forever to engage.]
The enemy team nearly smashed their phones in rage.
Jannie screamed excitedly, “Shari, I love you!”
She thought, ‘Shari is so damn cool.‘
Riley chuckled, “Shari, chat’s saying you’ve gone rusty. Not as bloodthirsty as before.”
Sharon smirked and toggled all–chat. “I heard someone call me… rusty?”
The viewers: [Yeah, that’s you.]
[Seriously, are you the real Shadow?]
[This safe playstyle is not the Shadow we remember.]
[Fake! I bet this is some staged promo for clout.]
Absolutely! It’s total fraud.]
Sharon’s response dripped with lethal amusement. “True. I have softened. Because now I fight to protect someone.”
Jannie’s face burned crimson. She thought, ‘Shari is playing with my heart again.’
The viewers were excited. [What is this master–disciple chemistry? I’m jealous.]
[Shadow hasn’t played in years, and he returned today all for his disciple!]
[Wait, is this hype for that Shadow Deer movie adaptation?]
(I’m shipping this too hard.]
[But Shadow, do you still remember Deer?] This comment came from Brent.

Chapter 184
Brent was frustrated. He had been waiting for Shadow’s response. He had logged into Nicholas‘ account and was getting private messages from tons of people, but he ignored them all, just waiting for one reply from Shadow. But Shadow didn’t reply at all.
Whenever someone mentioned Deer, the comments would blow up: [My friend said Deer is also online.]
[For real? Will we get to see ShadowDeer reunion?]
[Please, let Shadow and Deer team up again.]
The livestream chat went wild, completely overshadowing Jose, the original streamer. No one could compete with ShadowDeer’s legendary hype.
Jose’s face darkened as he keyed up the team voice. “Everyone, play carefully now.” He finally understood. Shadow’s skills were the real deal.
The enemy team respawned soon after, but all three lanes had already been pushed to high ground.
“Fall back for now,” Jose commanded.
Meanwhile, Sharon had taken over the whole jungle, her gold lead insurmountable. She lurked near the canyon, waiting.
When the enemy jungler led a desperate charge, Sharon’s team picked them apart effortlessly.
Sharon snorted, “Scumbags don’t deserve dragons. Sorry, they’re both mine now. Your ADC is so bad. He shouldn’t even look at the red buff. Your mage, thanks for the free kill. Come on. I’ll take you all.”
Her playful yet domineering voice left the opponents shaking with rage. Worst of all, whenever Sharon called out a target, it died instantly. Finally, “Pentakill” flashed across the screen.
The viewers were bursting with excitement: [Shadow is still the king!]
[Worth skipping class for this.]
[Legend never dies! Shadow is still the coolest.]
Jose’s team got wiped. He slammed his keyboard, cursing violently. He was fuming, thought, ‘Damn it! They’re toying with us! The high ground towers fell. We’ll lose again.‘
Sharon’s team didn’t push to end but just waited menacingly.
¡ Comments were flying by: [What’s the play here, Shadow?]
[No way. Is Shadow gonna hunt them down in the base?]
Sharon activated all–chat. “Watch closely, this is what real pro play looks like. Never pick scumbags again.”
One by one, enemies respawned only to get instantly deleted upon leaving the base. In the end, they were too terrified to step outside.
Jannie typed excitedly: [Mwah! I love you, Shadow.]
The comment section was blowing up: [Shadow is so cool!]
[So jealous! This ship food hit hard.]
[Where do I sign up to be Shadow’s disciple? I’ll serve Shadow.]
Sharon stared at the cowering five enemies at their base. “Listen well, scumbag. If you can’t back up your trash talk, stay offline. Otherwise, I’ll hunt you down every single time.”
Jose and his teammates didn’t respond.

Sharon added, “My apprentice is mine to protect. Understood, losers?”
