Chapter 13: The King's Guard
At the moment when the ghost warrior in the back was about to chop Anson Deer's head with his sword, Anson Deer activated the sequence skill - "Protect the King"!
[Skill name: Protect the King]
[Skill type: Active skill]
[Skill Introduction:
Instantly recall a specific chess piece and make it appear next to you.
If you are damaged or affected by a control effect within two seconds, the damage and control effect will be borne by the chess piece instead. 】
[Cooling time: Until the end of the chess field, can only be used once. ]
The sword slashed on Anson Lu's shoulder, but Anson Lu was not hurt at all because there was a layer of dim green light covering his body, protecting him from external intrusion.
Moreover, the stone statue of the knight appeared behind Anson Deer in an instant, blocking the group of ghost warriors.
Due to the effect of the sequence skill "Protect the King", the damage suffered by Anson Deer was transferred to the knight statue he recalled, and a crack appeared on the armor of the knight statue.
But it's not serious. The bishop statue can continue to heal, and this injury will recover in a while.
"Awesome! It's equivalent to two seconds of immunity to damage and control. This way, when someone attacks me, I have a way to counterattack."
Anson Deer opened his eyes slightly, surprised by the effect of this skill.
Originally, what he was most worried about were players or monsters with strong mobility. Once they got close to him and there were no chess pieces to protect him, Anson Deer would basically be dead.
But with the skill of "Protecting the King", it is equivalent to having an extra powerful protection.
Even if Anson Deer is approached by the enemy, he can recall a chess piece and let that chess piece take the damage for him.
However, the chess piece can only bear the damage on behalf of Anson Deer for two seconds. If the chess piece Anson Deer recalls is not strong enough, he still cannot escape danger.
But at this time, his opponents were just a few ghost warriors attacking from behind.
With the attribute template of the knight stone statue, it is more than enough to smash them without any pressure at all.
"Hiss--" The stone horse made an angry cry, while the knight on the horse remained coldly silent.
They faithfully protected Anson Deer from behind, and with a shake of their horses and a swing of their spears, the approaching ghost warriors had no power to resist and were all pushed back several meters, falling to the ground staggeringly.
[Oni Warriors' HP: 100% → 70%]
"Maru... Maruyama, did you see it clearly?" Iwata Minoru was stunned. "The stone knight suddenly appeared behind him."
"Besides, the sword strike from the demon warrior just now didn't hurt him..." Maruyama Jun said in shock, "Why? I clearly saw the sword strike his shoulder, but he didn't bleed a single drop."
Maruyama Jun's feeling of powerlessness deepened again. He looked at this god-like boy. They were obviously of the same age, but the gap between them was so huge.
Moreover, compared to his panic when facing the Oni Samurai, it was obvious that everyone was entering the dungeon for the first time. Anson Lu's psychological quality and extremely rational execution ability were simply incomparable to him and Iwata Minoru.
Are all the people who are matched with special job sequences such monsters...
Maruyama Jun stared at Anson Lu blankly, feeling mixed emotions.
Anson Lu's expression remained calm from beginning to end, as if he was really playing a game of chess, rather than a life-and-death game.
He was at ease, clearly on the battlefield, yet seemed to be outside of this world.
He is like a pure and calm chess player, or a battle-hardened general. This chessboard neatly divided by dotted lines is his battlefield.
Every time the chess piece is moved, it is done with an unstoppable force, just like a general wielding his mighty power, with a majestic military flag fluttering in the sky.
Strong, calm, rational.
These were the three words that Maruyama Jun thought of instinctively. If Anson Lu had not been wearing a school uniform, Maruyama Jun would not have believed that this was someone of the same age as him.
[Tip: A first-level Old-Time Chess player can place up to 8 chess pieces on the field at the same time]
"Eight pieces, that's just enough. Six pieces will be enough to release the entire Blue Flame Stone Statue chess set. Now we just need a Queen Stone Statue." Anson Lu put his hand on his chin and read out the command:
"Place the cannon statue one square to my right."
As the command was given, a dark stone artillery vehicle was placed on the chessboard to the right of Anson Deer.
"laugh--"
The gun carriage continued to emit thick steam, and the billowing steam waves swept in all directions and disappeared in an instant.
The Cannon Cart Statue is the Novice Sequence Reward for upgrading from Level 1 to Level 2. According to the game system, when Anson Deer is upgraded to Level 3, he can receive another Novice Sequence Reward.
Anson Lu was very much looking forward to it, after all, if the level 3 novice sequence reward was the "Queen's Statue".
Then, this set of Blue Flame Stone Statue chess pieces is complete, and the two bonds of the chess piece, [Blue Rainbow] and [King and Queen], can also take effect.
"The experience points required to reach level three are 800, and one Oni is 50 experience points..." After all, this is elementary school calculation, so he quickly came to the conclusion in his mind, "That means I need to kill 16 of them."
Anson Lu walked slowly on the chessboard, keeping a distance from the ghost warriors attacking from the front and back, while giving orders.
"The knight statue moves to D6 and kills the enemy in front. The soldier statue moves to E5 and stops the enemy on the right. The cannon statue attacks the enemy in C3."
Anson Lu still doesn't know what specific power the Cannon Cart Statue will display. There is a mention in the profession panel: The Cannon Cart Statue has the means of long-range attack.
There is no way to view in-depth information about chess pieces that you don't own yet.
Although Anson Lu had not checked the data of the knight stone statue and the soldier stone statue one by one, because in the previous battle on the street outside, Anson Lu basically understood the performance of these two chess pieces.
"A cannon cart is used to fire cannons." Anson Deer stretched lazily.
The second he gave the order.
The stone statue of the knight rode his horse forward and fought against the five ghost warriors alone; the stone statue of the soldier protected Anson Deer's right side and stopped the three ghost warriors on his own.
As for the stone statue of the cannon cart, it twisted the barrel of the cannon and aimed the dark muzzle at the nearly six ghost warriors rushing from the left.
The next moment, a strong flame burst out from the huge muzzle!
“Bang!”
The dark shells drew cold tracks in the sky, and the air around them was almost torn apart. The sound like fireworks exploding echoed throughout the entire commercial street, deafening.
Half a second later, only black marks mixed with red and dark black could be seen in the air. The shells hit the densely packed group of ghost warriors, and the figures of the six ghost warriors were engulfed by the exploding flames.
[Oni Warriors' HP: 100% → 0%]
[Kill six ghost warriors, obtain 60 evolution coins, 300 experience points, materials: 6 decayed broken blades, 6 decayed armors, which have been automatically included in your baggage space]
[Your level: Lv2 (300/800 experience points)]
Anson Lu covered his ears that were damaged by the cannon fire and tilted his head, "Is it... is it really that exaggerated?"
At this time, Maruyama Jun and Iwata Minoru, who were staring at this scene, also cursed at the same time. Translated into Chinese, this curse is undoubtedly -
“What the hell!!!”
