Chapter 176 Red Tide Chess - Deacon No. 5 of the Death Church (Thanks to the leader of the reward from Uncle Haoshu)
The appearance of the captain of the dragon boat caused the entire arena to shake violently.
The silver knife and musket in its hands glowed blue and red respectively. Under the interweaving of these two lights, the man whose face was obscured by the shadow of the brim of the pirate hat looked as terrifying as a ghost.
This is the king from the sea.
Anson Lu put his hands in his pockets, his hair was messy due to the wind, his brown eyes shone in the sun, and he looked like a young man full of vigor and vitality.
"One hundred and six points of strength attribute." An Senlu frowned, "It's unexpected that he can achieve this level."
"You didn't expect that." Anson Lu was unyielding. "Have you changed your mind about me?"
Ansen Lu didn't waste any more words and gave the order directly: "Gate of Death's End, sacrifice the rare chess species 'Digger' and 'Crazy Clown', and release the 'Light of Death' on the Dark Light Dragon."
Digger Walker and Crazy Clown were rare chess pieces that she summoned to destroy the 'Kachi Tombstone'. Now that these two chess pieces had completed their missions, they could only be used for sacrifice.
Despite this, Anson Deer was not worried at all.
In the arena, there was no more chess pieces that Ansonlu could sacrifice - her hand was empty. Apart from these two rare chess pieces, there were only 'Gate of Death' and 'Dark Light Dragon' left on the field.
"Boom!" The Gate of Death opened again, and two green arms stretched out from the gate, dragging the Digger Walker and the Crazy Clown into it and crushing them to pieces.
“Uhhhh—”
A cruel and ferocious roar came from the door, and then it returned to dead silence again.
After sacrificing two rare chess pieces, the Gate of Death suddenly emitted a pitch-gray light, which was injected into the body of the Dark Light Dragon, raising the attribute value of this dragon to a higher level.
[Under the effect of "Light of Death", the overall attributes of the Dark Light Dragon are improved - Strength: 80 points → 86 points, Agility: 80 points → 86 points, Intelligence: 80 points → 86 points. ]
Despite this, there is still a qualitative gap between it and the future dragon sailing captain blessed by the Blue Bird.
"Have you had enough fun? It's my turn now." Anson Lu waved his arms and gave an order in a voice that cracked rocks and clouds: "Captain Longfan Pirates, chop down that broken door for me!"
"Dragon of Dark Light, use your skill - Dark Claw - on the captain of the dragon ship." Ansenlu reacted quickly.
"Hey, does this skill of yours have no cooldown time?"
The next moment, the Dark Light Dragon and the Dragon Boat Captain rushed out at the same time. The Dragon Boat Captain's speed was not inferior to the former at all. The two figures intertwined after half a second.
The machete with a blue-green edge collided with the claws with a gray-black edge, making a loud noise like an earthquake. The arena was shaking under the fight between the two monsters.
“Clang——!!!”
"clang--!!!"
It was clearly the sound of a knife and claws clashing, but it also produced an icy, wild sound of weapons colliding.
Asuka Uesugi narrowed her eyes, "Hey, why does this scene seem more familiar the more I watch it?"
After a fierce fight, the Dark Light Dragon was defeated by this tiny human. It was beaten back step by step and had almost no power to fight back. Its right claw covered with dark light was torn apart.
“Puff——”
The violent blood spread across the arena.
The captain of the dragon boat moved so fast, and his immeasurable strength seemed to be blessed by the "God of Strength" Hercules. It was not difficult for him to tear a tank apart with his bare hands.
It was like a scarlet ghost, flying around the Dark Light Dragon. Every time it appeared, a horrifying blood groove would appear on the Dark Light Dragon's body.
"Roar——" the howl of a dragon.
[Dark Light Dragon's HP: 100% → 34%]
"Are you starting to regret using the skill 'Shadow Jungle' so early?" Anson Lu put his hands in his pockets.
He could clearly see that the "Shadow Jungle" move was the Dark Light Dragon's strongest killer move - a large-scale bombardment that lasted for five seconds, coupled with the ability to lock onto the enemy's turning, it was completely a BUG-level existence.
What’s too regrettable is that Anson Lu underestimated her enemy at the beginning, and she directly used that trick on the floating fish in the tank.
Anson Deer used the cooperation of the alien kangaroo and the Arctic Ocean Lighthouse to counter the move perfectly. In fact, until the five seconds of the move ended, not a single chess piece was injured or killed.
She probably never thought that Anson Lu would be able to take out a legendary chess piece later. Moreover, he used a series of methods to increase the attributes of this chess piece to three-digit units.
"Shut up." Ansenlu's face was cold.
"It would be better if you don't try to be brave." Anson Lu said proudly, "My captain hasn't used any skills yet. He is just attacking with a machete."
This is pure numerical crushing.
You don't even need any skills to counter the opponent's skills.
Since both are legendary chess games, the 26-point difference in main attributes is an insurmountable gap between them.
Anson Lu could have ended the battle right now, but he didn't. This was a response to Anson Lu. At the beginning, she also handled it with ease like this, giving Anson Lu a lot of time.
What they both meant was exactly the same - if you have any tricks up your sleeve, just use them.
The captain of the dragon boat once again turned into a red shadow and rushed over with a sound of breaking through the air.
Ansenlu did not hesitate at all and immediately gave the order: "Dark Light Dragon, release the skill - Dark Shadow Barrier, and protect yourself and the Gate of Death inside it."
[Skill 4 of the Darklight Dragon - Dark Shadow Barrier (causes itself and a target to escape into the dark shadow void within two seconds. They will not be affected by external things. Enemies who try to pass through the barrier will enter a dizzy state for 2 seconds)]
"Captain Longchuan, move back a step. What's the point of lingering on?" Anson Lu teased, "You can't have a magical draw like me, right?"
"Shut up." Ansenlu bit her lip, her eyes filled with cold anger.
From the beginning of the evolution game to now, she has almost always crushed her opponents all the way, and no one has ever been able to put her in such a desperate situation as today.
But what she didn't know was that Anson Lu had the same idea in his mind - this was the first person he had met who was on par with him since he awakened the 'Old Chess Player' sequence.
Time passed quietly, and the shadow barrier lasted only two seconds before it collapsed at this moment.
In a flash, it was time for a new round of drawing chess pieces.
Ansen Lu moved her brown eyes and looked at the chess shadows around her shoulder. Among the two chess pieces she drew, the shadow of one of them was glowing with scarlet light, like a crimson planet revolving around the earth.
Finally, she raised the corners of her mouth and said, "It's over."
When Ansen Lu saw the chess shadow next to Ansen Lu, he didn't look surprised. "Haha, you actually pulled it out. You're really lucky."
From the very beginning of the battle, when he heard the system introduce the rules of the chess game, he had already predicted that Ansen Lu had a high probability of possessing a Red Tide-level chess piece.
This is very strange because the system only introduces the sacrificial summoning rules for the Red Tide-level chess games, but does not introduce the sacrificial summoning rules for the Black Moon-level chess games and above.
——If the two of them only have legendary chess types, then the system only needs to introduce the sacrifice summoning rules of legendary chess types;
——If the system is to be introduced completely, then the summoning methods of the Black Moon and End Level chess types should also be introduced.
No matter what, everything was still within Anson Lu's expectations.
"How dare you say that." Ansenlu asked coldly, "If you hadn't drawn those two legendary cards, wouldn't you have been finished?"
"Yes, then let's just rely on luck to survive this time."
"You are quite self-aware."
An Senlu's lips curled up slightly, and her brown eyes were filled with a fierce fighting spirit.
Unconsciously, perhaps under Anson Lu's deliberate provocation, she also began to be interested in the outcome of this battle, so this situation of seeing hope when almost in despair was so exciting.
To rise up from desperate situations, that is the joy of fighting.
Ansen Lu reached out her hand and grasped the scarlet chess shadow around her shoulder: "Sacrifice the legendary chess pieces 'Gate of Death' and 'Dark Light Dragon' to summon the red tide chess piece 'Deacon No. 5 of the Church of Death - Lord of Death'."
As her order came down, two legendary chess pieces disappeared.
The sky and earth changed color.
A layer of gray scarlet filter seemed to cover everything in the world in just a few seconds. The day and the bright moon alternated, and the moon hanging high in the sky gradually turned dark, and the pitch-gray moonlight shone down.
However, no one has seen the Red Tide-level chess player "The Fifth Deacon of the Church of Death: The Lord of the End of Death".
"Wait, what the hell?" Anson Lu was shocked.
What he was concerned about was not the 'Red Tide Class Chess', but the prefix name of this Red Tide Class Chess - 'Deacon No. 5 of the Church of Death'.
"What's wrong? Is he scared silly?" An Senlu asked.
"Student Lu, your 'Gate of the End of Death' and this 'Lord of the End of Death' are not both pieces of the 'Death Church' chess set, right?"
"What else?" An Senlu frowned, "You don't know this?"
"If you choose the chess pieces of 'Ragnarok', you won't get the chess set of 'The Church of Death', so I definitely don't know what the chess pieces of 'The Church of Death' look like." Anson Deer shrugged.
Anson Lu still remembered that the chess creation scroll in his hand - the Black Moon-level chess type, Ten Thousand Riders Statue, recorded the details about the 'Death Church' chess set and 'Ragnarok'.
[Belonging to the chess set: Ragnarok chess set (one of the most advanced chess sets available to chess players in the old days, with the power to dominate the world)]
[Chess Group Note 1: The chess types of the "Ragnarok" chess group and the "Death Church" chess group cannot exist in the chess library of the old chess players at the same time. If both exist at the same time, one of the chess types must be abandoned. ]
[Chess set note 2: If you have already obtained a chess piece from one of the two chess sets, then the chess piece from the other chess set will no longer appear in the chess bag or crafting scroll.]
The principal also said that his chess group and the "self in the parallel world" he met at that time were almost 100% similar.
Moreover, this chess piece of the Church of Death is Anson Lu's trump card.
Therefore, since Ansen Lu chose the "Church of Death" chess team - then, it is natural that the principal would choose the "Church of Death" chess team instead of the "Ragnarok" chess team.
"There are a total of ten chess pieces in this set. So far, I have only collected two." Ansen Lu crossed his shoulders.
“That’s impressive! Actually, I haven’t even got any of the chess pieces from the two sets.” Anson Lu sighed.
".How dare you say that you chose the 'Ragnarok' chess set?"
"I have a chess creation scroll for the Dusk chess set, which is a Black Moon-level chess type."
Ansen Lu put her hand on her chin and said coldly, "The crafting scroll is not considered a chess type, so you should still be able to draw a chess piece from the Church of Death. After all, you haven't really gotten a chess piece from Ragnarok yet."
"Didn't they just summon a Red Tide-level monster? How come these two started chatting while fighting?" Asuka said puzzled.
"Besides, we can't understand what they are talking about." Chu Qimo echoed.
"They are all smart people. The outcome of this battle is not important. What is important is whether we can get more information about the Evolution Game from them." Urushihara Ritsu said slowly:
"However, these two people have very strange personalities, so it's impossible for them to sit down and communicate. We can only rely on the novelty of 'meeting a worthy opponent' to chat for a while."
"Why do you look more excited than the person involved?" Asuka looked at him speechlessly.
Crow's bony fingers were trembling uncontrollably, and his deep eyes were flashing with a passionate and excited light, as if he had seen some supreme treasure.
It was the first time she saw Crow like this. Normally, this gambler always pretended to be gentle and elegant.
"This is really interesting. The two personalities of Lu Jun and Miss Lu have determined their completely different destinies from the beginning." Urushihara Ritsu said deeply, "But Miss Lu's fate may change after this battle. After all, if the principal of that year met Miss Lu, they would not communicate like this. They would just fight from beginning to end. This is the turning point of the two timelines."
"The chuunibyou has struck again." Asuka narrowed her eyes.
"That's right. The president said that we should all be more tolerant towards crows." Chu Qimo said in a tone of tolerance as if he were a mentally retarded child.
"At least speak human language." Asuka Uesugi was angry. "You are riddlers on stage and you are riddlers off stage. Are you guys human beings or not?!"
In this arena specially set up for old chess players, the appearance animations of legendary and red tide chess types are really long - if it were an actual battle, it certainly wouldn't be that long.
Otherwise, the chess player will die before the chess piece even appears on the stage.
If possible, Anson Lu would like to let Captain Longfan kill the classmate Lu opposite with a single blow before the Lord of Death arrives.
However, the system does not allow him to do so. Even in the cutscene of summoning chess pieces, he is still counted as a chess piece on the field, and he cannot directly attack the enemy player.
Speaking of which, Anson Lu always feels that the appearance scene of "Lord of Death" is somewhat similar to the second stage of "Ten Thousand Riders" - that is, the rampage state that summons the blood-red moon and then condenses a sickle with the moonlight.
I don’t know if it was his illusion.
However, it stands to reason that there should be a close connection between the chess types of the "Twilight of the Gods" chess group and the "Holy Church of Death" chess group.
Two seconds seemed like a century had passed.
The dark moon, the dense black fog, and the howling gale, with the three elements complementing each other, a hazy figure appeared in the center of the sky, and its rough data gradually appeared in Anson Deer's eyes.
[Chess name: Deacon No. 5 of the Death Church - Lord of Death]
[Chess quality: Red Tide level]
[Chess level: Level 1 (highest potential is level 3)]
[Chess type attributes: Strength: 50 points, Agility: 50 points, Intelligence: 50 points]
"call--"
In an instant, the black fog dissipated, and the master's true appearance appeared under the moon.
This is a humanoid chess figure wearing a black robe and a sickle-patterned mask. It holds a book in its hand and sits sideways on the back of a horse with eight pairs of huge black wings spread out.
"Huh? Only 50 points of total attributes, not even as high as my Floating Shark. How can you be so rubbish?" Anson Deer tilted his head and complained mercilessly.
"You are too superficial." Ansenlu hugged her elbows, her long black hair dancing in the biting wind. The god of death riding on an eight-winged black horse slowly descended to the earth, waiting behind her like the most loyal servant.
"Then show me its full strength." Anson Lu put his hands in his pockets, his face still calm.
Ansen Lu sneered and said, "Activate the Death's End Overlord's skill 'Death's Gate'. The attributes of this chess piece will increase the total attributes of the last five chess pieces sacrificed by 'Death's Gate'."
[Skill 1 of the Lord of Death: Death's Gate (must have the legendary chess piece 'Death's Gate' appear in the game to activate it. The attributes of the last five "rare chess pieces and below" sacrificed by the Death's Gate will be added to the Lord of Death).]
"The last five rare chess pieces sacrificed by the Gate of Death are 'Digging Walker', 'Crazy Clown', 'Exploding Dancer', 'Speed Racer', and 'Violent Boar'." Ansen Lu raised her eyes and said slowly:
"The sum of their attributes is 60 points of strength, 62 points of agility, and 61 points of intelligence - so the Overlord of Death will gain an attribute improvement equal to this amount!"
"Huh?" Anson Lu was stunned. "Big sister, you can't cheat like this, right?!"
“Bang!”
In the sky, the Gate of Death that had been destroyed reappeared for a moment. This huge gate opened outward, revealing a dark world as vast and deep as hell.
Then, an execution place slowly appeared in the darkness, exposed to everyone's sight.
The heads of the last five rare chess pieces that Ansonlu had sacrificed using the "Gate of Death" - Digger, Crazy Clown, Exploding Dancer, Speed Racer, and Violent Boar - were beheaded one after another.
At the same time, the black book held by the Lord of Death began to flip, like a gust of eerie wind blowing past.
In the Gate of Death, the souls of the five chess pieces were wailing miserably. Their broken souls turned into a stream of light, rushing out from the world in the gate and injected into the book in the hands of the Lord of Death.
Then, the Gate of Death disappeared again.
It seems like nothing has changed, but it seems like everything has changed again.
The eight-winged Pegasus ridden by the Lord of Death roared and screamed towards the sky, and the Lord slowly closed the book, and the scarlet eyes under the mask burst into a dazzling brilliance.
[Under the effect of the skill "Death's Gate", the attributes of the Lord of Death are: Strength: 50 points → 110 points; Agility: 50 points → 112 points; Intelligence: 50 points → 111 points. ]
