Esther and Caher kept getting closer to the golden clouds, but before they could get any closer, they froze in mid-air.

The objects moving among the clouds were stone statues of armor, black armor and white armor walking in pairs, and several of them flew down at the same time, blocking Esther and Cach's flight path, and after blocking their flight path, they quickly surrounded the two outsiders from all directions, silently raising their weapons.

The two armors of opposite colors, although they are also nearly two meters high, show an extremely incongruous style when compared to each other:

The black armor was covered with spiral spikes of varying lengths on the left shoulder, and the right shoulder was pitted with bumps and iron nails, a strange design that extended down to the breastplate and leg armor, and the iron boots were high on the front of one foot and a heel with a sharp knife on the other, making it undoubtful that if someone wore them, they would fall to the ground the next second while walking.

White armor is another style - complete symmetry. From the elegant, streamlined armor to the tight gaps hidden by the armor pieces to the delicate and ornate carved patterns, all angles and lengths are unified. Including the notch on the right side of the helmet that seems to be cut, there are exactly the same traces on the symmetrical left side, which is so perfect that it is impossible to find any deviation, which is enough to meet the symmetrical aesthetic pursuit of any obsessive-compulsive disorder.

On the backs of both types of armor, gray-black wings in the shape of steel bones and iron feathers extended, but those stiff wings did not make any extra movement when they spread to the sides, but only slightly erected, and it was obvious that their role was not to fly, but to have some special means of attack.

Black Armor held a spear as high as himself in his left hand, and a crescent-shaped machete with a curved arc in his right hand that looked like it would be cut down at any moment, while White Armor moved more uniformly, drawing two symmetrical swords from behind their backs and staggering them in a defensive stance.

As the guarded armor floated around, Esther couldn't help but lower her voice again and asked the crow on her shoulder, "Don't we really have to go back to the ground to play chess?" Both black and white have ready-made ......"

Even in the whispers, Esther's attention never took a moment off the moving armor, and she didn't want unnecessary accidents because of carelessness. Although she didn't feel that the armor could hurt her, the sheer number of them surrounding her still brought an invisible sense of oppression.

However, the crow and Kach were not affected at all, and Cach even had the leisure to reply to Esther's words: "The premise of playing chess must be that the chess pieces are obedient, right?" Do you think they will heed your orders? ”

Just as Cach finished saying this, the black and white armor took a step forward, and the black armor slashed the machete down and slammed it into the twin swords raised by the white armor, making a rather dull thud.

It can't be infighting, the armor itself doesn't have any consciousness, it just follows some kind of rules, thinking of the "rules" that Cach said before, Esther has a bad feeling in her heart, at least so far, she hasn't seen any objects with the rules written here, and there are no words on display nearby.

Then, another way to "show" the rules is to demonstrate them with actions.

As Ester thought of this, she felt a sudden lightness on her shoulder, and the figure of the crow had disappeared, but she didn't know where it was hiding.

Soon, however, Esther understood the crow's reason for hiding.

The two took a step forward, approaching Esther and Cach's black and white armor first, and at this moment they had finished their brief sword fight, and had already turned around.

"Don't move." The crow's hoarse voice rang in his ears.

Esther frowned, but suppressed her instinct to dodge.

The spear in black armor pressed down, pointing in Esther's direction, while the twin swords of white armor were raised forward and aimed at Kach next to him.

Kach pinched the monocle in his right eye: "What, obviously I should be more in line with the aesthetics of 'black chess', right?" ”

Esther's spirituality began to give more and more warnings, but she had only a vague guess about what she was going to do at the moment: "So what they mean ......"

"yes, they've already demonstrated the action, don't be stupid, you have a weapon in your hand."

The "Logan's Claw" in Esther's right hand was clasped between her fingers, but she didn't raise it for a long time: "They want me to fight with you?" That's the rule here? ”

"It's obvious, isn't it?" Caher placed one hand next to her cheek, a gesture that made her smile smile playful, "I thought this was something you'd been looking forward to for a long time." ”

"But—"

Esther swallowed the latter words, she did have an opinion about Cach, but if she had to say that she had the urge to attack, then why didn't she go to Amon?

I can't beat it anyway, at least Esther is sure of that.

Kach didn't care what Esther was thinking at the moment, even if he stole it, he couldn't steal the idea, so he simply smiled and nodded: "It's not up to you to decide, you either comply with it or wait for ......"

"Wait?"

Before Esther's voice had fallen, she felt another feeling of pressure that made her shoulders heavi, and all distractions were discarded, except for the thought of obeying orders.

The invisible thrust around Esther was gradually exerting it on her shoulders and elbows, lifting the arm of her right hand and allowing the claw knife to leap up with the thrust of her fingers, like a falcon staring at its prey.

But Esther's expression was in a trance for a moment, and she quickly regained her composure, and she winked at Kach: "What an unpleasant sense of control...... You can catch it, right? ”

"Of course, after all, 'catch your attack' is also part of their demonstration."

Out of the corner of her eye, Esther swept over the black and white armor, "What happens if you don't do what they're demonstrating?" ”

"Why don't we try it? Maybe something interesting will happen. ”

Seeing Cacher's ill-intentioned eyes, Esther immediately put aside the hesitation in her previous heart.

As soon as her body twisted, she swept over the short interval with Cacher, and the "Logan's Claw" in her hand, following the previous movements of the black armor, slashed down in the direction of Cach—Esther immediately realized that even if she wanted to retract her strength, the invisible pressure brought by the "rules" would not allow her to fool her so easily—a circle of shadows attached to the outside of the claw knife, forming a heavier and more majestic black blade, which passed Esther's control and fell on top of Cacher's head!

Kach's response was simpler, she raised her arms and simply crossed her fingers to easily hold Esther's claw knife and the black blade with invisible pressure.

Then the white shadow of the sword lit up from between Kach's hands, and after a few seconds of stalemate, it disappeared at the same time as the black blade.

Esther immediately felt the pressure on her shoulders dissipate, and Kärch's light response relieved Esther as well, she really shouldn't treat Kärcher as an ordinary extraordinary......

Oh, Kach is Amon too, that's fine.

As soon as Esther thought of this, she subconsciously touched the blade of Logan's Claw, she was still not used to Kach's appearance as a woman.

The black armor and the white armor moved again, but this time the attacking role was reversed, and the white armor's smooth longsword in his right hand was pointed diagonally, and then slashed heavily in the direction of the black armor, and the black armor completely gave up the action of confrontation.

Although the white armor only used the sword in the right hand, when the long sword was from the shoulder armor to the breastplate, it left a nearly half-meter-long opening in the black armor, and on the other side of the perfectly symmetrical side, it also showed the same second crack.

The black armor, which was already a mess of appearance, instantly became like a mass of scrap metal.

Esther's heart jumped, if according to the "rules" just now, then this time there will be a substitution? When she looked at Cacher, she happened to meet Cacher's interested eyes.

Seeing that Esther was observing his demeanor, Cach smiled even deeper: "Look, it's my turn this time?" ”

But when the black and white armor parted again, Cach's smile froze.

The sword in white armor was pointed at Esther, while the one demonstrated by Kach changed to black armor.

Esther innocently wiped the claw knife twice: "That said, you really can't blame me for this......"
