Human Chess (4)

[03:00]

[Gerken Team: White Pawn Attack Attempt]

[Elise Team: Battle against black pawns and white pawns]

A sudden battle begins.

Human chess started at 10 a.m., and the first battle was at 7 p.m.

What should I do?

I have lost the ability to fight after such a long period of peace, as long as 9 hours… … .

───!

The invading black golem scattered obsidian fragments. I quickly did a backtumble. We immediately climbed to the high ground and took the lead.

Getting close to a golem is crazy. Since his whole body is like a weapon, you have to keep your distance as much as possible.

────!

The black golem continued to fire dagger-like obsidian stones from its body. I hid behind a tree.

Deukdeuk! Three pieces of stone hit the tree and knocked it over.

“This is crazy.”

How is that golem a phone? My mouth opens wide.

Ssssss—! Ssssss—! Ssssss—! Ssssss—!

Then, an aimed shot flew through the wind. I almost rolled my body. As fast as possible, zigzag.

This is an evasive maneuver in response to a long-distance attack. This level of movement is natural because it sticks to the body like skin.

[02:13]

There are 2 minutes remaining. It seems like it would be easy to reach a draw if we keep going between the terrain like this, but this is the first battle in 9 hours.

A draw is not enough.

I took out a slingshot from my pocket.

────!

While running to avoid the obsidian that hit like a guided missile, I amplified the iron ball and slingshot. Additionally, SZX-9500 was activated.

These are two weapons for shooting and observation.

Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

At that moment, the black golem also released dozens of fragments. It was an unavoidable attack on the ground.

“Sigh!”

I quickly climbed up the road using footwork. I changed my posture while floating in the air. I lifted the slingshot while maintaining my balance as best as I could. A steel bead was attached to the band. Crackle- I pulled the rubber band and aimed it at the black golem.

The target point is the eyes.

percussion.

Taaaaagh───!

The iron ball swept through the space cheerfully and hit diagonally. It hit the golem accurately.

Chaae-ae-!

The lens shattered like a glass window, and the thing let out a loud roar and fired obsidian in all directions.

Wow! Wow! Wow!

But there is no accuracy. A golem that has lost its eyesight is nothing more than a batting ball machine. It ejects pieces of my body here and there, but I can’t hit the blind obsidian.

From now on, it is a one-sided hunt.

I focused my attack on its ‘joints’ with the slingshot. Of course, I didn’t let down my guard. If you happen to get hit by a flying obsidian just once, it will be fatal.

Percussion───! Percussion───!

For the remaining time, I harassed the blind golem in every nook and cranny. As he was hit, he shed crumbs like blood.

[0:00]

[Battle ends]

Wow ─

The smart watch vibrated. Unfortunately, the battle time was up.

[Gerken Team: White Pawn Battle Failed]

[Elise Team: Successfully defended the black phone]

[The defense opportunity is reset due to the pawn’s characteristics.]

“Hey. What are you doing. hurry.”

I stamped my feet and waited for the next time. The black golem returned to its original position, but was clearly in a state of retirement.

If Elise was sane, she would give the order to chase it down and completely destroy it.

Wow ─

[Advance and destroy.]

As expected, Elise ordered the extermination, and the magical barrier opened again.

[Elise Team: Attempt to attack with black pawn]

[Gerken Team: Battle against white pawns and black pawns]

Now I have crossed over to the golem. The guy whose whole body was broken was in the process of self-recovery, but would you wait?

I attached a steel ball to the slingshot.

The golem has already used up too much of the obsidian that used to be its armor, so its weaknesses are clearly exposed. It is the ‘nucleus’ of all branches.

Bang!

I fired a slingshot.

Pashk! As soon as the core was destroyed, it collapsed like a sand castle.

[Battle ends]

[Elise Team: Battle Victory]

[Gerken Team: Destroy White Pawn]

“after.”

I ate the black golem’s khan. I don’t know what will happen in the future, but I’m sure it’s enough for one person.

“… … “And then it comes again.”

I see a guy running in a straight line over there. Looking at the tail, it looks like a high-level piece.

I suddenly got busy.

Wow─

The smart watch vibrated.

[Gerken Team: Attempt to attack with white rook]

[Elise Team: Black pawn, battle against white rook]

It’s a look. The strongest piece after the Queen.

Wheeeeee───!

The guy who rushed in in an instant swept the ground with his feet uselessly. He crossed into my compartment, scattering sand like that.

“Ah. “My eyes.”

The guy who was a nuisance from the start smiled, deliberately showing only the right side of his face.

“Rook, appears… … .”

That was the end.

The guy facing me stiffened. My whole body stopped working like a robot. The gentle smile and standing posture like a hero were the same.

I too belatedly checked his face.

“… … uh?”

It was surprisingly a welcome sight.

“hi.”

When I greeted him warmly, the man just rolled his eyes and avoided my gaze, keeping his posture the same.

It was Kiely.

[Battle begins]

[03:00]

* * *

Chiely looked at him. He looked at Zion Askal. He also looked at himself.

“… … .”

My whole body feels stiff. Just like a rabbit does when it stands in front of a lion. The feeling of fear flows from deep within the dantian before even the magic power, causing one to sweat like crazy and suffocate.

It is a ‘state of suspension’ caused by a combination of survival instinct and trauma.

Stop for a moment.

A psychological barrier such as “If you cross this path, you will die, so stop” is what freezes you.

gulp-

My uvula was churning of its own accord.

Now Sion Askal is standing still. Just holding on to a stick.

His club is infinitely short and weak compared to his spear. Even the standing posture feels ‘as if there are a lot of gaps.’

It’s a trap.

Sion Askal is a person who crushed a monster with his bare fists.

The moment you charge without knowing what to do, your entire body will break first.

[02:23]

[02:22]

Meanwhile, the battle time is passing.

Just then, Sion Askal smiled.

“long time no see?”

Kiely thought intensely.

This situation itself is too risky. Even Chiely herself, a master of sleight of hand and wit, had no answer as to how to hand her over or how to let her go –

“You’re not answering?”

For a moment, Shion’s expression hardened slightly.

“… … “It’s been a while.”

Kiely raised his eyebrows and grabbed his side. His complexion was also intentionally made earthy.

“Ugh… … .”

“?”

Shion looked puzzled. However, Kiely thought it was the best.

There is no need to grab him for no reason.

He has already won 3 out of 4 chess games, and he has also won all of his battles so far.

The highest rank is a given.

“The wound on my side, ugh! The aftermath of the previous battle is too severe. Ugh… … .”

“… … okay?”

Shion quickly picked up the club with an expression that said, “I got it.” Kie Li raised her hand.

“Wait a minute. This is my thirteenth battle already… … .”

We actually fought a lot.

As the major piece ‘Rook’, he fought as many as twelve battles. This is the thirteenth battle.

This is too much.

“Where is the time… … okay. “I’ll wait 5 seconds.”

Shion is tapping the club on his palm, but he doesn’t seem to have any intention of using it.

Kiely said it was suspicious.

It wasn’t just this class.

He secretly watched Shion in all of his other classes, but he never turned on his machete. He was also extremely reluctant to activate only part of his body, such as his arms or legs.

He is hiding his powers for some reason.

That special talent of a strong body is not on display.

“You… … Hey.”

Kiely asked cautiously.

“The machete… … “Aren’t you going to turn it on?”

“uh. “I can’t use it.”

I can’t write.

At that moment, something went crazy in Kiely’s head! It spreads out.

It cannot be used ─ It must not be used ─ There are unavoidable circumstances and reasons why it must be done ─ It is a very important contract or pledge ─ Who gave him the contract or pledge? ─ By simple estimation, the number is enormous ─ If it is serious, it could be a spy from another country ─ It could be a secret agent of the Central Intelligence Agency, Edsilla, who completely lied about its identity ─ It could be a hunting dog dispatched by the mafia of the underworld.

Either way, you shouldn’t get involved or look hateful.

Unless you want to become like the monster that was crushed by his fist last time.

“… … “I see.”

“why. Are you ignoring me because I can’t use it?”

Sion Askal asked. Kiely laughed like a bingo.

“Aning.”

[01:35]

“Five seconds have passed. Goes.”

As Sion Askal said that, he struck his club. I thought Kiely narrowly avoided it, almost as if it was instinct –

“uh?!”

Buuuung – The club that was being swung suddenly lunged at me like a stab.

This is a herbivorous combination that Sion Askal performs with a club.

Pretending to do a triangular cut, inserting a ‘poke’ between the eyes of the other person trying to maintain distance.

To put it simply, it is an anomaly.

Shion loves the ‘Change Sword’, which includes transformation, anomaly, and unconventionality. Unlike the absolute sword, which is likely to lose its power after one use, it puts less strain on the body while allowing you to fully utilize your physical abilities.

If Absolute Sword is a special move, Transformation Sword is a general technique.

Tung—!

The club hit Kiely between the eyes.

“… … .”

To be honest, Kiely is not in pain to the point where he dies because he has the machete turned on.

A little bit scary?

However, this may be a warning from Zion.

Just get to this point and leave.

“… … Oh my! Surrender surrender.”

Chiely quickly surrendered.

[Gerken Team: White Rook Battle Failure]

[Elise Team: Successfully defended the black phone]

[The defense opportunity is reset due to the pawn’s characteristics.]

“what. “Are you in a lot of pain?”

Then Shion asked with puzzled eyes. She was acting until the end. Perhaps it’s because College Board administrators are watching from above.

“uh. A bit much… … “Oh, the injury is a bit serious.”

“be careful. “I’m going to the hospital too.”

“Ugh. Okay then. “I’ll go~ Good luck.”

Chiely adjusted the rhythm appropriately and returned to the position he was in before the battle.

A seat five spaces to the right of Sion Askal.

“phew.”

I feel a little relieved now that we’re far away. He wiped the sweat from his forehead.
