Chapter 008: Showing Chess Might
Night is falling, the sky is dark, and the moon is gloomy.
At this moment, the lone ghost warrior slowly approached the alley, and its figure became clearer and clearer in Anson Lu's sight.
Here it is·······
Anson Lu breathed deeply, and a chill began to spread from his spine, gradually spreading to every inch of his skin, and even his pores were closed.
The appearance of the ghost warrior is too terrifying, and his hideous and distorted face is like a demon growing in a sulfur spring, and his body is filled with a foul smell between the smell of fish and tobacco.
"I'm really going to thank you, don't be so disgusting....." Anson Lu narrowed his eyes, his stomach squirming back and forth like a thousand earthworms and other coelenterates, trying to swim backwards up his esophagus.
Moving forward, he came to the center of the street.
This is to facilitate the layout of the board, and if the chess field is spread out in the lane, the range of movement of the pieces will only be greatly limited.
Like a shark smelling blood, the Oni Samurai twisted his stiff neck, and in the shadow of his helmet, his eyes burning with dark blue ghost flames stared at Anson Deer's figure.
This thing is much more terrifying than zombies, this oppressive feeling ...... Anson Lu's scalp was numb, and he opened his mouth to read softly:
"Chess Domain."
According to the method taught by the game system, the word 'chess domain' is silently recited in the heart, and the environment within a radius of 30 meters is instantly divided into six or four grids by dotted lines.
【Skill Name: Chess Domain】
[Skill Type: Active Skill]
[Skill introduction: Based on the surrounding environment, unfold the chessboard and release the extraordinary chess pieces, the chess pieces will act in the chessboard according to the instructions of the old chess players, and the chess pieces cannot leave the chessboard, otherwise they will disappear immediately. 】
[Note: The shroud range of the chess domain will expand with the improvement of spiritual attributes]
The realm of the old chess players spreads outward, dividing the streets within a radius of 30 meters into blocks that make up the chessboard.
As the chess domain unfolded, Anson Lu's passive skill "Chess King" also showed its effect.
Chess King - The effect of this skill is to give Anson Deer a god's perspective overlooking the chessboard, so that he can observe the situation in the area covered by the chessboard.
At this time, around Anson Lu's shoulders, the phantom of four chess pieces gradually appeared, and the phantom of the chess pieces slowly rotated around him, like a star revolving around the earth.
From the shape of these ghosts, it is easy to identify which type of chess each represents these ghosts.
"There is only one .....," Anson Lu said, "and when it is used up, it is gone, and every time a piece is withdrawn, or after a piece is defeated, it will have to be used again every hour and a half." ”
[You can silently recite instructions similar to 'Arrange xx chess pieces into xx squares' in your mind to materialize the extraordinary chess pieces into reality]
Anson Lu used the perspective of God brought by the "Chess King" to quickly confirm the number of squares in his location, and had a clear insight into everything within a radius of thirty meters.
The wind and grass were blowing, the trees were shaking and the leaves were falling, every piece of snowflakes drifting, and the distorted figure of the ghost warrior staggering forward were all clearly presented in his mind.
I don't know if it's his delusion, but he suddenly feels that the passage of time has become extremely slow, or that after the chess field unfolds, his thinking speed has increased significantly.
"It's nice to be able to play chess like this every time."
Anson Deer adapts to the overlap between the first perspective and the God's perspective, and with this extra perspective, he can use a pattern that is far beyond ordinary people to gather information about his surroundings.
The oni samurai hunched his waist and rushed towards Anson Deer with a sword.
"Roaring !!!"
The positions of the two of them continued to approach, the cold wind was howling, and the blade of the Taidao was glowing with coldness.
Anson Lu stretched out his bony right hand and clamped the four stone statue chess pieces with the gap between his five fingers, and the chess pieces' eyes burned with surging flames, drawing a cold blue and red trajectory in the night sky.
At the same time, he said in his heart:
"Stone statue of the king, arranged in panel B2."
"The knight's statue, arranged in the C2 grid."
"The bishop's statue, arranged in D1."
"Stone statue of a soldier, arranged in E2 square."
Swift thoughts fell, and the four stone statues disappeared in Ansonlu's hands.
Instead, huge stone statues with strange appearances suddenly appeared in front of the young man.
The shape of these stone statues perfectly matches the images of "king" (king), "elephant" (bishop), "horse" (knight) and "soldier" (soldier) in chess.
The eyes of the four stone statues burned with a raging cyan fire, the surging battle intent was like a pine wind roaring, and the earth shook slightly, as if thousands of troops and horses had stepped over the chessboard.
[In the old days, chess players were not limited to the rules of any chess game, you can call the chess pieces to make actions at will, but the chess pieces cannot go beyond the board, otherwise they will dissipate quickly]
"Oh, there's just no rule like 'elephants can only go diagonally, soldiers can only go forward'..."Anson Lu was stunned for a second, and the corners of his mouth kept rising:
"Knight's statue, move to D4, rush at it!"
Trample!
Trample!
Trample!
The knight's stone statue stomped on its hooves, and it galloped out on the stone horse, the steel spear in its hand tearing through the air, making a burst of air, and stabbing at the ghost warrior with a strong momentum.
"Puff ....."
That ancient armor could not resist the spear of the knight statue, and the ghost samurai's chest was pierced by the tip of the spear, and his entire body was lifted high by the knight statue and thrown into the air.
The health bar on the top of the Oni Samurai's head dropped rapidly, from 100% health to just 40% in length.
【100%→40%】
At this moment, the figure of the ghost warrior flipped in a circle in the air, and it clenched the sword, roared to the ground, and slashed at the bishop statue!
The Bishop Stone is a chess type responsible for healing, and has no direct combat power.
"Really, it's all right."
Anson Lu stared at the ghost warrior who turned in the air, somewhat surprised, originally he thought that this kind of little monster that was only two levels should be broken at the touch of it.
"It doesn't matter, though....." he said in a calm voice, "Pawn Statue, move to the right to D2 and kill it." ”
The stone statue of the soldier stepped forward in three steps and two steps forward with heavy boots, raised the steel sword in his hand, and slashed out with unstoppable force.
"Hiss!!"
The blade of the sword just slashed at the ghost warrior who fell from the sky, slashing out a deadly blue-black ravine, and the ghost warrior was almost cut in half with his armor.
"Roar!!
The ghost samurai wailed fiercely, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground.
Its limited health bottomed out, dropping to zero at a breakneck rate.
【40%→0%】
"Solved so quickly......"
Anson deer scratched his hair, a hint of boredom in his dark brown pupils.
"I wanted to try again, forget it, if it takes so much effort to fight a mob, it's not a hidden profession."
With the bird's-eye view brought by the "Chess King", he confirmed that there were no other ghost warriors around, so he temporarily put away the chessboard.
The cooldown time of this skill is 10 minutes, and if Anson Lu wants to place a new chessboard elsewhere, he must honestly survive this 10-minute cooldown period.
To be honest, Anson Deer really hopes that in the future, this cooldown will slowly decrease.
Otherwise, the limitations of the old chess player class are too great, and it is especially easy to be restrained by players or monsters who are more mobile and agile.
