Sitting on his throne, Gerald's face smiled.

In front of his eyes, there was a chessboard.

But on it, instead of the familiar queens, kings and other chess pieces, they are carved with bodies, as if they are real people.

Among them were two chess pieces, none other than Natsu and Gray, who had just entered the Tower of Paradise.

Placing the two chess pieces in front of these two people, Gerald smiled slightly, and there was a feeling that everything was under control.

After a moment, the boy looked up, and a solemn look flashed in his eyes.

"Since you're already here, why don't you come in? Big Brother Arthur? ”

With a chuckle, the magic in Gerald's hand converged, and a chess piece appeared on the chessboard.

That image is Arthur.

Placing the chess piece in front of him, Gerald looked up, only to find that a person had appeared on the other side of him.

On a golden throne, Arthur looked thoughtfully at the chessboard in front of Gerald, crossed his legs and holding his head.

A look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and Gerald's muscles tensed subconsciously.

Although he was already high enough to think highly of his unfathomable big brother, Gerald couldn't help but be surprised when the other party really appeared.

He didn't even know when the other party appeared in front of him.

And Arthur also brought such a big throne!

"Brother Arthur...... was jealous in his eyes, but on the surface he smiled lightly, Gerald stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation to Arthur, "Are you interested in playing a game with me?" ”

"Oh?" Arthur raised an eyebrow. The corners of the mouth are slightly hooked.

"Since you've invited you, I'll just come and play."

There was no tension at all, and Arthur stretched out his other hand very easily. Pick up one of the pieces.

The plain appearance surprised Gerald for a while.

The advent of the magic elves. He felt it too...... No, it should be said that he made this happen in the first place.

In his mind, Arthur and the others should be very anxious, wanting to rescue Elusa and the others, and then leave here.

Now Arthur's light and breezy appearance really made him hesitate.

"What's wrong? Gerald, not left behind? ”

A chuckle was heard, startling Gerald.

That's when he found out. Before I knew it, I was in deep thought.

This is really a big taboo.

In any case, since Arthur in front of him didn't want to stop his move, then this pile of Gerald was naturally a good thing.

With that in mind, Gerald looked at Arthur's pawn.

That's the pawn that represents Natsu.

Arthur pushed Natsu's pawn in front of the 'Owl'.

―――――――――――― Split Split ――――――――――――

"Introduce yourself, I'm a owl."

The owl-like man stood in the way of Natsu and Gray.

There are some funny body types, but people can't laugh.

The killing intent hidden in the other party's body even affected the surrounding air somewhat. made the few people present a little uncomfortable.

"Owls?" Flames erupted from Natsu's body, staring at the owl excitedly.

In the face of such a strong enemy. Not only was the fire dragon not afraid, but it burned with war intent all over its body.

The stronger the enemy, the stronger I am, this is Natsu.

"Oh ho, fire dragon?"

The owl looked at Natsu, and finally let out a somewhat strange laugh, and the next moment, the other party flapped his wings and flew into the sky.

Natsu and Gray froze.

"Flying, flying?" The two looked embarrassed. They can't fly.

―――――――――――― Split Split ――――――――――――――

"Let Natsu deal with the Owl?" Gerald thought for a moment and smiled, "It doesn't seem like a good choice." ”

Gerald said. It is also to move one of his own chess pieces, and one of the chess pieces engraved with the head of an eagle will be carved. Placed in front of Lucy.

Arthur watched his movements and didn't say anything.

Picking up Natsu's pawn again, Arthur moved it slightly out of the way.

Although it is a chess board, but the rules or something, it is equivalent to nothing, because it is not an orthodox chess piece, so it is naturally how comfortable and how to move.

Gerald was slightly stunned and looked over there, only to find that after Natsu was removed, the front of the owl had become Gray.

Is Gray with Natsu?

In this way, the fate of the owl has almost been determined.

"Looks like my pawn...... It's a little bit less. ”

Gerald smiled wryly and looked at the chessboard.

On his side, there are only three chess pieces.

On Arthur's side, there were seven or eight.

Even if it's two to one, it's more than enough...... It seems that from the very beginning, the winner has been decided.

"As far as I know, there must be other people in the Tower of Paradise, right?" Arthur picks up another piece representing Jubia, places it next to Lucy, and faces the Eagle together.

"Why bother with an assassination guild like the Skull and Bones Society?"

By the time the question had fallen, Arthur had already picked up another piece, representing Elusa's pawn.

Because there are no rules, it doesn't matter if he walks several steps in a row.

"I guess there are other reasons." Gerald said vaguely, but the expression on his face did not fluctuate much.

Looking at the chessboard, although it was almost a must-lose situation on his side, he was still smiling.

Because...... He didn't want to win the game in the first place.

―――――――――――――― Split Split ――――――――――――――

"How could you fall into such a place......

Lucy clutched her head and stood up from the water.

The whole body is already soaked, if it weren't for the fact that the transparency of the clothes is not high, I'm afraid the girl has already staged a wet temptation ~ bewilderment.

"Thank you, Jubia."

Turning her head, the girl looked gratefully at Jubia, who was gradually condensed by clear water.

Just now, she guessed the trap with the other party and fell underneath, if it weren't for Jubia turning into water to cushion her, it is estimated that even if she can't fall to death, she will be seriously injured, right?

"Mistress Gray...... He's going to be fine, right? ”

Completely ignoring Lucy's gratitude, Jubia looked at it worriedly, and she was now eager to return to Gray's side immediately.

But obviously, this is not too likely.

Because like the two fools above, they can't fly either......

"Hey, hey, hey, the two beautiful girls who came to me?"

The music sounded, and the guitar played, and a man with hair longer than a woman slowly walked out of the opposite waterway.

The appearance comes with BGM.

I don't know why, Lucy suddenly remembered Arthur's complaint.

Now she looked at the guy in front of her, but what she thought in her heart was that it really came with BGM.

―――――――――――――― Split Split ――――――――――――――――

"Elusa?"

Gerald looked at the chess piece that Arthur was holding in his hand, and couldn't help but murmur in his mouth.

"Where is the sharpest sword in your hand?"

"Of course it'......" Arthur dropped his palm and placed the chess piece beside him.

Gerald's eyes fluctuated.

The next moment, the sword light flickered, and the wall next to it was easily cut into several pieces by the sharp blade.

A red figure dressed in fresh clothes jumped in from the outside, holding two knives, and instantly came to Gerald's side, aimed the blade at his neck, and slashed it without hesitation.

His pupils shrank, and Gerald shifted quickly, dodging the knife that slashed at his neck.

But no matter how fast he reacted, he could only dodge one, and the other knife seemed to have anticipated his movements, and came to the direction of the opponent's dodge in advance, easily across Gerald's eyes.

Blue strands of hair that fall out of a few strands.

Gerald looked at the girl in front of him in fresh clothes, and cold sweat couldn't help but flow from his forehead.

If the girl had murderous intent just now, just that moment would be enough to make him die.

Fairy Queen, is it so terrifying?

Gerald looked at the two people in front of him, and the thoughts in his heart kept flowing.

The situation in front of him, no matter how you look at it, is beyond his control.

"Trouble...... It's big. ”

Gerald couldn't help but smile wryly. (The novel "Dimensional Emperor" will have more fresh content on the official WeChat platform, and there will also be a 100% lottery gift for everyone!)
