"When the lion stands upright, that's when it has the most flaws. You see, like your current situation, the bishop and the king are in a line, my chariot is directly facing your king, and your king can only dodge my attack diagonally upwards. Asser's chariot was placed at the bottom of the board, "Then your bishop will be eaten by my chariot." ”

"Lord Arthur, your chess skills are so good that it seems that I am in trouble. Geraint shook her head.

"Die!" the flaming lion was punched by Joshua. The massive figure stood upright, enough to cover half of the second floor of the temple.

Taking advantage of the opportunity for the male lion to raise his forelimbs and stand upright, Joshua jumped into the air and kicked the giant lion in the belly several times with amazing force. Joshua's every kick was infused with a powerful fighting spirit. The Flaming Lion turned from a mighty roar to a bitter wail, like a giant target being kicked by Joshua.

"I'll put two more feet on your head. Joshua kicked the lion several times, then kicked the lion in the abdomen and jumped on the lion's head. A dazzling series of kicks followed, and the lion's head was hit so hard that the flames had vanished, leaving only some foam pouring out of his mouth.

"Bang!" After a loud bang, the body of the giant lion fell to the ground hard. "Ahem, I'm really tired, finally get rid of this guy. Joshua smiled knowingly as he looked at the flaming lion that had rolled out his eyes and was foaming at the mouth.

"Knight Geraint, even if you are in a difficult situation, you can find a way to bring the situation into a draw. "There is a rule in our game of chess: if one side has no move to play, that is, your king will fall within the opponent's attack range if he moves in any direction, then the game is a draw. ”

"But with your chess strength, Lord Arthur, if you achieve an overwhelming advantage, you won't give your opponent a chance to form a situation where you can't move, right?" said Geraint.

"Humans make mistakes, even though I'm not human anymore. Arthur swung one of his "chariots" and thought about the next steps, "But without the wisdom of humans, maybe you will make more mistakes!"

Joshua looked at the flaming lion lying on the ground and thought to himself, this guy should be in a coma for a long time, so let's take this opportunity to hurry to the next level!

Joshua slowly ascended the winding staircase to the third floor of the temple.

As soon as he entered the level, Joshua felt a strange atmosphere, and a strong murderous air flow flashed in front of him. The not-so-spacious space on the third floor of the temple inexplicably floated a burst of blood mist.

Seeing these blood mist, although Joshua didn't know what was going on, he obviously felt a little weird, and when he was muttering something in his heart, a low buzzing sound suddenly came out.

Patches of white light appeared in the blood mist at the same time, and then light red arcs ejected. These arcs and blood mist converged and burst open, as if they were about to wipe out a passing thing.

In the blink of an eye, the blood mist rolled and rushed towards Joshua like a wave. Joshua froze in fright.

But fortunately, the fragment of the holy sword on Joshua's body did not wait for him to activate, and it automatically flashed a faint holy light, which was the first time he had encountered it. And the blood mist, which was full of murderous aura at first glance, temporarily stopped its forward churning movement under the control of the holy light.

Joshua naturally didn't know that these blood mist were the marks left by the tragic Holy Demon War thousands of years ago. Both the God Realm and the Demon Realm have paid a heavy price in this battle. The place where the fight is bound to be a river of blood, and the killing moves formed by various magic and fighting qi converge into a cloud of blood mist.

"Lord Arthur, if Joshua clears the Flame Lion, then he will be able to reach the third level of the temple, right?" asked Geraint.

"You're asking what kind of tests await him on the third floor of the temple?" replied calmly, taking a deep breath before raising his "soldier" to the next level.

Due to the appearance of the blood mist, Joshua stopped and wandered through the third layer. Right now, the strong killing moves left over from the Great War of the Holy Demons carried by these blood mist are extremely powerful, and it is still a little reluctant for Joshua to get through Guò in terms of his current ability.

Although he could use all his strength to stimulate the fighting qi in his body, such a practice would severely overdraw his body, and once he activated other unknown effects in the magic array, he would be even more powerless to break through.

As a result, Joshua could only slowly observe the changes in the blood mist. After all, both magic and fighting energy will be consumed with the passage of time, and the reason why such a magic array can be maintained in the temple must be sealed by an enchantment.

"The third floor is already the center of the entire temple, and Joshua will definitely be tested even more severely, right?" said Geraint, frowning, as he flew the chariot sideways to the changing line.

"The third level of testing is really harsh for a child. This is the site of a battle in the Great War of the Holy Demons thousands of years ago. In this land, the people of the God Realm and the Demon Realm fought fiercely. After the battle, the gods sealed all the traces of the battle left here. And this became a test that everyone who passed through the third level of the Flame Temple had to endure. Arthur nodded.

"What?" asked Gerant, surprised, "I've heard from Lord Frem that the purpose of the birth of this temple is to seal the remnants of the Holy Demon War. But he didn't expect that the magic and fighting spirit left on the battlefield would act on the trialist so unreservedly. Will Joshua be in danger?"

"Don't worry, Knight Geraint!" said Arthur with a smile, "Remember what I just said to you? ”

Joshua in the magic array moved forward cautiously, and suddenly a few black rays appeared in the blood mist, and suddenly became purple and cloudy, making it impossible to see any changes inside.

Joshua's pupils shrank and he whispered, "Where have I felt this breath?" ”

It turned out that these black rays were the magic light generated by dark magic, which was used by the Black Dragon Knights when Parsa slaughtered the royals. Joshua's head suddenly began to swell, and he couldn't recall the painful experience anyway.

"The power of the magic array formed by the remnants of the Holy Demon War will only be known to those who have experienced it firsthand. Yasser picked up the "Queen" and began to threaten Geraint's defense, and then said with a smile, as if he was already confident in this game, "But sometimes the effect of taking the initiative is not necessarily better than the effect of reacting to the situation!"

As Joshua's spirit was in a trance for a moment, the light on the fragments of the sword began to dim......

With a "poof", a dark cloud appeared on the blood mist. Then it skyrocketed, threatening to envelop Joshua's whole being.

Suddenly, the icy and biting wind in the magic array rose strongly, and many dark clouds flew in the sky, and Joshua felt that his surroundings had turned black in the blink of an eye, and the entire space had become extremely gloomy. At some point, a green demonic mist appeared overhead, and the call of the demon rang out loud all around.

It's just that the moment the holy light converges, the dark aura in the magic array will break the balance. Joshua's heart was horrified.

At this moment, there was a sound of breaking the sky in the array, and countless black air currents erupted from the mist above Joshua's head, heading straight for Joshua to entangle and wind.

Joshua hurriedly stimulated all the fighting qi in his body, and the golden holy light swirled around Joshua, and all the black air currents paused slightly under the obstruction of the holy light, and then dissipated in an instant. But immediately, these black air currents that had just dissipated turned into clusters of green mist, flying back and reintegrating into the original demonic mist.

"Huh?!" Joshua stared at the cloud of mist in front of him, "I've been dispelled, how can I still get back together, what should I do?"
