Chapter 129: Transforming into a "King"
"It's a good thing I dodged fast, otherwise I would have ended up like this statue. Joshua quickly jumped onto a grid on the right at the same time as the chariot crashed. And the statue of the soldier was smashed to pieces after being hit hard by the chariot. The rubble was scattered all over the place, but soon disappeared without a trace.
"Huh, why did the wreckage disappear after this statue shattered?" Joshua was puzzled for a moment, "Hehe, but one less enemy counts as one, destroy them all as soon as possible, so I can find a way to the next level." ”
"Looks like this kid has got the hang of it!" said the familiar apparition in the distance.
In the chess game, Joshua saw that his strategy worked, and hurriedly started a new round of planning. Many statues quickly moved around on the chessboard and came to besiege them together. Among them, the statue of the queen is the most amazing, whether it is horizontal or vertical, diagonal can move freely, Joshua was shocked by the queen's statue before he could take out his sword. Joshua was battered so hard that he could no longer use his old strategy, and suddenly saw him stagger to his feet again, holding the sword up in front of his chest, and golden light began to radiate from the sword. It's just that his face is pale, and he makes a coughing sound. Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter in the space on the board. The laughter was so terrible that all the pieces on the board became restless and began to stop.
It turned out that the laughter was made by Joshua himself. I saw his hoarse voice muttering to himself: "I finally remembered that the shape of these sculptures is to imitate a kind of war chess." I seem like I've seen it somewhere before. It's no wonder that these statues move in different ways. ”
Joshua was injured by the previous "queen", barely supported his body, and when he saw that the situation was critical, he still swung his horizontal sword. He looked at his position, and according to the rules of the game, he should be in a position where White's "knight" could attack. Previously, Joshua didn't know which statues would attack him next, so he had to be on the lookout for statues from all directions. Now that he has the rules of the game, he can predict which statue will launch the next attack as long as he sees where he is.
Sure enough, White's "knight" rode his horse and attacked Joshua. I saw him glance at a soldier statue behind him, and quickly activated the fighting energy in his body to send out a sword light at the statue in front of him, but with such a force, Joshua couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood. So he said miserably: "I'm going to admit it this time, I'm really unwilling." "The sword light hit the statue's body and was directly bounced away by the other party as before, after all, it was a trial thing created by the holy stone of the Divine Realm, and ordinary fighting qi had no lethality at all. Joshua struggled to lift his sword and protect it in front of him. I heard him shout in a low voice, "Give me strength, great holy sword—Escaliba!"
Joshua's heart was in a daze, knowing that his body was already very weak, and it had become very difficult to even stimulate the fighting qi in his body, let alone mobilize the strength of the Holy Sword fragments. The only hope now was that the Holy Sword Fragment would resonate with him at a critical moment. The "knight" was bumping into the sword in his hand, and with a "dang" sound, the golden light flashed, and Joshua's body really returned to the appearance of holy light. With a "bang", the statue of the "knight" was restrained by the holy light and could not fall on the lattice.
Joshua let out a loud shout and brandished his sword, and the powerful fighting spirit instantly pushed the statue back diagonally a square. The "knight" deviated from its original course under the action of external forces and fell diagonally behind. At this time, because the action was not over, the chess pieces moved forward according to the rules of the "knight". As a result, the statue of the soldier that was originally one block behind Joshua was trampled by the "knight......
Joshua was overjoyed and was about to take the opportunity to push away the "knights" who were already one block behind him, so that they could kill each other. Suddenly, there was a sound of wind on the side, and the chariot statues on both sides collided with each other at a rapid speed in the direction of Joshua. Joshua once again held the sword across his chest, inspiring all the fighting energy in his body, and in an instant, the chariot was running to Joshua. Joshua was stunned when he saw that the chess game was no longer playing according to the rules, and shouted, "Is this a trick?" But the two chariot statues were inanimate objects, and they didn't pay attention to what Joshua was saying, and their goal was only Joshua who stood in their way. "Ha ha, kid! you used your strength to force the rules, and these statues all got out of hand. Suddenly, a familiar voice rang in Joshua's ears. Joshua hurriedly replied, "Is that you, Mr. Phantom?"
"Kid, it doesn't matter who I am, you should think about how to deal with the current crisis now!" said the voice, which faded away.
At this time, in the chessboard, these statues are all in a mess, except for the way of moving, there is no change, and the order and steps of movement are no longer in place according to the rules. "In that case, should I take another gamble?" Joshua used his sword to resist the attack of the two chariot statues, "I wonder what will happen if the two chariots collide in the road?" Joshua quickly took a step back and unleashed his fighting spirit to knock the sword forward, and the two chariot statues collided with each other due to inertia. "Bang!" but with a loud bang, the two statues shattered and the stones scattered all over the ground, but in the blink of an eye, they were all gone.
Joshua was overjoyed: "Ha Luha, sometimes it's not necessarily a bad thing to break the rules. So he ran quickly to the baseline, and the statues on both sides began to attack together as soon as they had a premonition that Joshua was within range of their attack. Joshua dodged around the board and unknowingly rushed to Black's "king". White's "bishop" noticed that Joshua was now in range and flew diagonally towards him, while Black's king also attacked him diagonally one square.
Joshua watched the bishop's movements, but forgot that the king could move diagonally. He was hit by the statue on his back, but thanks to the light of the sword fragments, Joshua was not seriously injured, but staggered a few steps and fell a block in front of him. In the following moment, as you can imagine, the "bishop" of White and the "king" of Black collide violently. Due to the loss of the constraints of the rules, the chess game could no longer determine whose move was the first move, and the two statues made a loud noise, and all of them shattered at once.
After Joshua's impact, although there was no damage to his body, the muscles of his body were completely sore. He barely managed to support his body with his sword, and that's when he found himself in a dangerous position on the checkerboard. Black's "soldiers", "knights", and "bishops" all have a chance to attack him. White's "Queen" and another "Bishop" statue are within range. Sure enough, White's "queen" quickly attacked Joshua. He hurriedly stood up and prepared to open the Dou Qi barrier to resist this attack, but something unexpected happened. A statue of Black's "bishop" quickly stood in front of him, colliding with White's "queen". "Bang!" shattered the statues on both sides at the same time.
When Joshua saw this scene, he stood for a long time, and his thoughts fluctuated: "Could it be that I am dazzled? He cupped his chest and took a few breaths, then turned around and walked away, deliberately stepping out of a few squares to test it out of the Black statue's attack range. Sure enough, the black statues stopped attacking themselves and quickly began to move, protecting Joshua.
"If one side loses its own king, then Joshua will be fought for him as a king by that side. "This means that the balance of victory has tipped in Joshua's favor, and it's up to him whether he can hold it or not." ”
"Lord Arthur, didn't you just say that even if you get the opportunity to become a king, Joshua's side has a good chance of being at a disadvantage?" asked Geraint.
"Yes, but if you can break the rules of the game, it's a different story!" Arthur smiled and shook his head.
