Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 617

Twenty minutes later, the Shadow Titans were already at the gates of the base, their assault relentless. Neverfall Navigators fought back desperately, but they were clearly struggling. Finally, after half an hour, their main tower was destroyed.

“Aww!” The Neverfall Navigators fans in the audience were stunned, groans of disappointment rippling through the crowd.

It was a terrible start. Anyone who understood the game could see how much trouble the team was in. Shadow Titans had them on the ropes for the entire first match. If they didn't adjust their strategy, the rest of the series looked bleak.

The second game began quickly. Still reeling from the first round, Neverfall Navigators’ morale was shaken. Eager to win one back, they grew reckless, trying to force kills only to be counter-killed themselves.

The second match was over even faster than the first. The final score was 3-8-7. It wasn't just a loss; it was a massacre.

“What's wrong with Neverfall Navigators?” Having lost two out of five games, with one more loss meaning elimination, the fans no longer had the heart to cheer. “Their form is completely off. It’s like they’re playing without any spirit.”

“Ever since Demon left, Neverfall Navigators just hasn't been the same.”

“I miss the days when Demon was here. Every single one of their matches was a masterpiece.”

...

The two games concluded, and the teams took a short break.

Having won so easily, the Shadow Titans were already celebrating, confident they could clinch the next game. They started discussing where to go for dinner after the match.

Juniper sat with a grim expression, sipping her lemonade. The cold aura emanating from her was palpable.

“Juniper, do you think we’re going to win?” Hattie asked cautiously.

Juniper stretched her lips into something that couldn't be called a smile. Whether they could win wasn't up to her. It came down to skill.
