Chapter 128: Breaking the Game

"These statues are moving around on the lattice, how do they look like a magic circle made of earth elements, oops...... Joshua fled around the chessboard, "I can't escape and I can't escape, I can't cut and chop it, I'm in trouble now." ”

The huge chess piece sculpture roams around Joshua on the ground, with a murderous motive at every step, and Joshua discovers an important pattern as he dodges. Originally, the soldier sculptures in the front row would only move forward, except for some that moved two blocks at first, and then moved one block at a time. When he faced the statues of the soldiers head-on, they moved very slowly, and he had plenty of time to dodge their attacks. However, when he walked one block diagonally above the sculpture, the statue would quickly attack. When Joshua is knocked out of the way, the statue will return to its original position.

And the most peculiar thing is the statue of the four knights. They move in a very strange way, always moving up a block and then diagonally upwards, and whenever Joshua is in that position, he is attacked by the knights. As for the Bishop, there is no limit to the number of slots, and the chariot moves in a straight line at a rapid speed.

Although he had some of the rules of the statue's movement, Joshua was still in a state of exhaustion. Because there were only sixty-four squares on the board, no matter how nimble Joshua was, he couldn't escape from it. The baseline of the chessboard is firmly blocked by the pieces of both sides, and whenever Joshua gets close to the baseline, he is forced back by their rapid attack.

"Lord Arthur, a big question suddenly occurred to me. Geraint frowned suddenly, "You just said that if you want to break through the chess game on the fourth floor of the temple, you must complete it through the rules of the game. But how can Joshua get these pieces into a cannibalistic situation, isn't the goal of all the pieces Joshua? If Joshua goes to the position where the pieces coincide and falls into the range of the opponent's attack, it is possible for the pieces on the other side to solve the overlapping pieces, right?"

"You're right, Knight Geraint! So Joshua needs to learn to take the initiative instead of dodging. Time has been consuming like this, and the final outcome waiting for him must be beaten back to the third layer. Arthur swapped the position of the "chariot" and the "king", which is a unique rule in war chess - castling of the king rook.

"Damn, if I continue like this, I will definitely be exhausted to death...... Huhu~" Joshua was covered in bruises under the siege of the chess piece statue, and his mouth was panting. At this moment, he suddenly realized that he had unknowingly arrived at the original entrance.

Joshua was so worried that he wouldn't be able to get out of the game that he saw that he had reached the sideline of the board facing the entrance, so he staggered out of the game. He was afraid that if he stayed in the "chessboard" for a long time, he would eventually die from exhaustion, so he quickened his pace and jumped towards the exit. Who knew that the original entrance, I don't know when it was covered with a layer of enchantment, Joshua accidentally hit the enchantment, and the whole person was bounced back into the "chessboard". Although Joshua instinctively protected himself with his fighting spirit in the crisis and was not injured, he was also in pain.

Joshua suffered this and completely discouraged the idea of escaping. The thirty-two statues in front of him made him feel like a great enemy, sharp and fast when attacking, impermeable when defending, and the surface of the statues was hard and abnormal, so that he couldn't start. This time, Joshua felt overwhelmed, although through the experience of the first three levels, his strength has increased a lot. But in the midst of this chess game, Joshua had a feeling that he had strength but could not do it. No matter how Joshua dodged, he was confined to these sixty-four squares and could not be used. Regardless of his movements, the statues around him were always waiting for him. Unexpectedly, he had just retreated a few squares when his right foot tripped over a statue and fell heavily to the ground.

Joshua rolled on the spot, and when he looked up, it turned out that a "knight" had just sneaked up on him from behind, but fortunately he had one foot that didn't fully step into the lattice, so he only tripped over it. Joshua had an idea, and stood on his toes, slowly moving along the gap between the lattices. His attempt did so to pay off. Joshua, who wandered through the gaps, affected the judgment of these sculptures. Many of the pieces began to spin in place, and it was not known whose range Joshua was. Joshua saw that the statue had lost its target, and hurriedly walked towards the other end of the sideline, but suddenly, he stumbled under his feet several times, stood unsteadily, and stepped into one of the grids again. It turns out that the fourth-level chess game test seems interesting, but it is actually very powerful, and a person who is drowning in the chess game for a long time will become more and more chaotic. Joshua thought that by walking along the gap with his feet up, he would not be confused by the chess game and his bearings, and thought that he would only need to walk straight to the other end of the entrance to escape from here. Who knows that running east to west, south to north, is just going around in circles on the boundary line of these sixty-four grids. The chess pieces were moving, and the whole board was actually spinning, and Joshua's mental orientation was very different from his real position. And the chessboard creates a new kind of enchantment as it spins, sweeping across the board like a wave of air, tripping speculators.

"Hmph, this kid is really very smart! It's a pity that this method was thought of hundreds of years ago, and we can't have a strategy to deal with it. "Outside the chessboard space, a familiar phantom overlooks the situation from top to bottom.

After running more than ten steps, he saw that the sky above the chessboard had become blank, the statues were craggy, and the chess game seemed to suddenly reveal a ghostly spirit, and Joshua couldn't help but be secretly frightened. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration crossed his mind, and he came up with another great idea. Joshua walked to an empty grid in the middle of the chessboard, and to his left was a statue of a soldier. Since the soldiers would only attack diagonally forward, Joshua didn't have to worry about defending on the left. On the other side, a chariot moved quickly, and Joshua slashed his sword in front of him, quickly enveloping his body with fighting spirit. The chariot statue, which weighed nearly a hundred pounds, was in front of Joshua in an instant. If Joshua hadn't dodged it right away, he would have been squeezed into patties by the two statues. But Joshua won the bet this time, and the sword in his hand, which Frem had made himself, managed to withstand the statue. Between the soldier and the chariot was a hard sword wrapped in fighting spirit. Since the Chariot Statue had to attack Joshua who was stepping on the square, it began to spin violently to give itself momentum. Metal and stone statues are constantly sputtering out of Mars due to violent friction.

According to the rules of the game, if one of the pieces is not fully positioned, the other player's pieces cannot move. At this point, Joshua had become easy to leave. But he was reluctant to give up the sword in his hand, and since the enchantment was covered all around, he might not be able to leave even if he took the opportunity. Joshua watched the statue's movements, trying to seize the moment to draw the sword.

"To be on the safe side, I'd better move the sword from a different angle!" Joshua glanced at the soldier statue on his left, and climbed to the top of the statue through its protrusion. Feeling someone step on him, the statue of the soldier began to shake violently. However, this time, Joshua was prepared, and he cast a fighting spirit in advance and began to suppress the statue to the greatest extent.

"Uncle Geraint once taught me how to use vindictive energy to suck my weapons in. But I remember him telling me that the premise of using this method is that you have a good understanding of your weapon. This sword was made for me by Grandpa Frem not long ago, and I wonder if there is a tacit understanding between us. However, Joshua's worries were actually a little unnecessary, because he was blessed with the power of the Holy Sword Fragments.

I saw him strangled the head of the statue with his left hand, gathered his fighting energy on his right hand, and then raised it with his mind in the direction of the sword. With a "whoosh", the sword returned to his hand. And the statue of the chariot, which turned out to be spinning violently, hit the soldier headlong due to inertia.
