Fairy's Chess Game

Chapter 229 Balance and Chaos

Qingshan walked in the front gracefully and calmly, with brisk steps, humming a cheerful tune, and waving the baton rhythmically in his hand.

Behind them are three tall puppets with relatively rough workmanship, walking steadily with three wounded Fairy Tails on their backs.

Surrounding them is Qingshan's 12-member orchestra, playing non-stop along with the master's rhythm along the way.

Makarov and Laxus were fine, but Natsu was much restless and desperately wanted to break free.Because he is the only one in the best state - Laxus is also suffering from the side effects of the previous Thunderbolt at this moment, and he is so injured that he has no intention of making a fuss like Natsu, letting Qingshan take him away.

"Don't~toss~" Aoyama said with a singing tone, "I'm taking you to gather with other people~ Now! Lord Huolong, please~rest in peace~"

The puppet band played a cheerful and exciting tune, which spread far in the silent forest.

Laxus is the person who has the deepest knowledge of music among all people, and his biggest hobby is listening to music.Just now, my nerves were still tense, but after calming down, I soon heard the music echoing in my ears.He looked at Qing Shan with a strange expression: "At this time, you are actually playing the 'Triumph'? How do you look at it, we all fled in despair, right?"

Qingshan also looked at him in surprise: "It's really rare, there are still people who love music so much! I thought that under what circumstances, the first question should be my identity?"

"Although I don't know you, I still know that chess player." Laxus said indifferently, "You are the people from the 'Balance' organization. Woz also mentioned the alliance with you, so your appearance Not too surprising."

Qing Shan smiled and said: "It seems that Master Woz expected all of this!"

Makarov said in a deep voice: "In order to invite you into the urn, I concealed the hidden magic covering Sirius Island. That's why you can easily enter here. It seems that this is the only thing I did in this war." Useful arrangements."

Because Devil's Heart is Prechto's subordinate, everything on Sirius Island has no secrets from him.

"Mr. Makarov~ Don't blame yourself too much~~ In this case, you can fight Devil's Heart~ and Hades to such an extent~ Fairy Tail has already deserved the reputation of number one~" Aoyama rapped He said, "This is an opponent that we~ and the chess player~ must face up to!"

"Hey, have you seen that guy somewhere before?" Natsu interjected unwillingly, "During Aedlas, there were two blond men who looked the same?"

Since Naz has only seen Gambit, he has always used his "sense of smell" to identify people, and he only reacted belatedly until now.

"The enemy guy is very strong, is it okay for you to leave your companion alone?" Natsu asked suspiciously.

Qingshan flicked his baton vigorously, and the tune of the music suddenly became fierce and unrestrained, and a high-spirited war tune was played: "Of course it's no problem! Anyone who doubts the words and deeds of the chess player is a stupid and ignorant move!"

He sang in a thick alto voice: "In this world~ no one can beat a great chess player! Only the Recorder, who is equally noble, can play against him~"

"Hmph, crazy man." Laxus was obviously not convinced, and ignored it with a cold snort.

Looking back at the original battlefield where Hades was, although the opponent he faced has changed, Hades still firmly holds the absolute advantage in strength.The proud and arrogant old man unscrupulously erupted his aura, his eyes were as sharp as eagle eyes, only staring at the chess player.

Hades didn't stop Qing Shan from taking people away.He felt a strong oppressive force from the young man in front of him. Although it seems that his absolute strength may not be stronger than Makarov and Laxus, there is an inexplicable feeling in the dark. Strength made Hades also have to pay attention.As the pinnacle of human beings, Hades has vaguely touched the ultimate secret of this world, so he will never ignore this mysterious feeling.

Moreover, he knew this boy.

The "Scale" organization not long ago prevented the Devil's Heart from attacking Fairy Tail to capture Woz.It was only a dozen people, but they firmly intercepted their entire guild, including the seven relatives of Purgatory, and finally had to rely on Bruno to escape.This left a deep impression on Hades. Later, he carefully investigated this mysterious organization, and of course he also knew that the chess player was another contemporary chess player.

That's why Hades abandoned Makarov and the others when he saw the chess player playing in person, because he was more likely to get the secrets about the chess game from this man.

"It really didn't take much effort." Hades laughed, "I was going to catch that slick kid Woz, but another one came to my door."

The chess player also had a gentle smile on his face: "Old man, you are so obsessed with the chess game and want to participate in it even in your dreams. Of course, I can't let you down too much. That's great, the serious chess game has not started yet, it's good to warm up in advance... …Find an amateur opponent to gain experience."

"Amateur?" Hades laughed angrily, "When the old man personally participated in the last round of chess, you and that kid Woz didn't know where you were."

The chess player snorted: "Of course I know this. But you are only a top-notch chess piece at best. You can play a powerful role under the opponent's hands, but if you want to overthrow the identity of a chess piece, you must become a chess piece yourself. Players... can only say that you are still too naive."

"You are not young, but your tone is not young!" Hades obviously did not believe the other party's words, and was not moved at all, "In the end, this boring nonsense can be over, and we still have to rely on strength to speak between you and me. You After preparing for such a long time... let me see the true strength of this generation of players!"

Hades has strong strength and is a senior in the chess game, so he doesn't bother to rush to make a move.As he said, he wanted to personally test the strength of a real player.

The chess player's beautiful pupils narrowed and shone coldly.Although it looks like a gentle and amiable young man, the chess player is a truly proud person in essence, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as arrogant.In the whole world, apart from Woz, I am afraid that there is no second person who can gain his respect.Faced with Hades' haughty gesture, the chess players were irritated.

"Are you giving me time to prepare? Are you kidding me! Who do you think I am?" The chess player turned out a small chessboard, "My battles never require preparation!"

The chessboard instantly expanded, covering the entire battlefield.

Hades felt it carefully, and was a little disappointed: "That's it? It's similar to the Woz kid's trick just now, flashy!"

Previously, Woz's two great magics "Song of a Thousand People" and "Blooming Sword" killed the audience, but Hades hit a wall, and it didn't work at all. Naturally, he despised him at this moment. Fan.

"Woz's magic..." The chess player shrugged, "He just copied a little bit of superficiality. The core of our magic is completely different."

A golden space door appeared again behind the chess player, and life-sized "chess pieces" stepped out of it.

The number of chess pieces was endless, and soon exceeded the number of chess, and even exceeded the scope of all known board games. It was more like summoning pieces from many different chess games.

Unlike the last time when he was involved in the world of Edras, the chess player only carried a pair of his favorite chess pieces with him, and his combat power was somewhat limited.This time, in order to deal with Hades, the chess players were fully armed and pulled up all their stocks.

Backed by a super civilization that regards games as its life, chess players know countless games that belong to "chess", so the chess pieces he can mobilize at this time can be said to be various.

Seeing this scene, Hades, who was still a little nervous at first, burst out laughing: "You don't want to rely on these puppet models to defeat the old man, do you?"

The chess players ignored his jeers and called up more than 100 different pieces before stopping.These one-to-one chess pieces are arranged in a neat formation, striding forward majesticly.

Hades reached out and aimed at a pawn in front of him—it seemed to be the image of an ordinary warrior, and cast his own attack magic, a pitch-black magic ball.

Simple and brutal magic is also the most effective attack method when the magician used has an overwhelming advantage in strength, and it often represents "no solution"!
The army of chess pieces turned a blind eye, and still marched forward in an orderly manner.The magic ball blasted away, and Hades could already see the result of the annihilation of the target he aimed at, and even the pawns around it would suffer varying degrees of damage.

However, something that Hades couldn't understand happened—the magic ball only flew less than three meters before crashing to the ground. It hit the ground vertically at a ninety-degree angle!
Land, explode!The highly compressed pure dark magic power was instantly aroused, and the darkness that was so deep that it seemed to swallow everything appeared where the magic ball landed.In the blink of an eye, the darkness dissipated, leaving only a bottomless hole.

The power of Hades is extremely terrifying, a simple attack magic has caused such a daunting effect, it is hard to imagine the consequences of such a blow if it is sent to a person.

But then again, no matter how powerful magic is, it doesn't mean anything if it misses the target.

Hades also narrowed his eyes, the result of this blow was no longer as simple as a slight miss, it was completely different!And Hades is very aware of the power of his blow. If it really explodes, the killing radius will be at least ten meters!But right now, his magical power was bound in a three by three square area by some strange means, forming a square deep pit.

It's like a square on a chessboard.

What kind of magic is this?Hades, who claims to be well-informed and has read all the magic in the world, was also shocked by the strange scene in front of him.

Just as he was in a daze, a wave of obscure magic power similar to space attribute rippled on the battlefield.The destroyed square in front of Hades suddenly returned to a flat ground.

Hades looked keenly into the distance, and sure enough, he saw the square pothole in another corner—it wasn't the restoration of the field, but the transfer!

Hades was analyzing the chess player's magic in his mind. At this moment, the warrior-like chess piece stepped onto the square in front of him.

It was only then that Hades realized that at some point, this warrior came out in front of him first.

After standing still on this "grid", Hades didn't even have time to make a move, and the warrior chess pieces took the lead in attacking!
The action is simple and unpretentious, but it is truly tempered, a knife learned in countless battles on the battlefield, accompanied by a fierce and tragic breath of iron and blood, and slashed at President Hades.

Shrouded in a strong murderous aura, Hades' pupils narrowed to pinpoints, and he shouted, "Ha!"

Two Amaterasu-style magic circles were sent out instantly, one up and one down clamping the warrior chess piece, and then quickly closed.

The warrior's knife only cut halfway, and it was completely wiped out by Hades' thunder strike.

Hades' absolute strength and overwhelming advantages are undoubtedly revealed!

But even so, he was still in a cold sweat.Hades never thought that his magic would become so abnormal!Fortunately, the Amaterasu spell at the last moment can still be used normally, otherwise I will really get stabbed.

Hades didn't believe that the slashing of the warrior pieces was just an ordinary physical attack.

He finally had to pay attention to this young man.

Looking up, the chess player was still standing there calmly, but his more than 100 chess pieces were scattered in all directions of the audience at some point, as if the uniform formation just now was just an illusion.

The chess pieces were expressionless and approached Hades with a slightly stiff movement, which made this powerful old man feel terrified.

All fears come from the unknown. So far, Hades still knows nothing about chess player's magic and the means of displaying it!He tried to attack the chess pieces in several directions, but all of his magic fell into the three-meter grid around him, and the powerful magic could only destroy the ground over and over again.

After several fruitless attempts, Hades stopped.As a well-deserved genius wizard, he has already seen the problem: "I didn't expect that you can control the power of rules!"

The chess player's expression was calm, but his tone was slightly proud: "There are three major elements that make up a chess game: the board, chess pieces, and the rules of chess. I am named after a chess player, and all my abilities are naturally based on the chess game. The basics. The rules are also part of my strength."

The chess player said: "Hades, your strength is indeed astonishing. Judging by the damage caused by your magic, it can really break the level of the chessboard. I think, no matter what kind of chess pieces I take out, I will be defeated by you." Destroy it with one blow? If that’s the case, then I simply approve of your strength...Anyway, most of the chess rules are one-hit kill; all I have to do is control your attack range.”

"That's right, I modified the rules of this chess game. The attack range of all units on the chessboard is only one square!"

Hades asked: "But what's the point of this? If your chess piece wants to attack me, it must come within one square of me, and within this range, my strength is invincible."

"This is also where I am most helpless. I have to admit that your strength is too strong, which greatly increases the difficulty for me to modify the rules. If I change to a weaker enemy... my chess pieces can attack at a farther distance It's gone." The chess player spread his hands and expressed his helplessness, "But I don't need to completely defeat you. My purpose is to hold you back, and wait for Fairy Tail to rest and form a team to attack."

The magic power on Hades' body was boiling, covering the area within one grid directly, preventing the chess pieces from approaching at all: "Is this your ability? Sure enough, you have some abilities... But can you become a player at this level? It really surprised me."

In Hades' view, although the chess player's ability is also very powerful, it is still much worse than Mebis and Jeff in the previous second-generation chess game.

The chess players were not in a hurry to drive the chess pieces to attack, but just surrounded the opponent, chatting and saying: "It shows your ignorance and naivety to say such a thing! Mr. Hades!"

"You don't know the most important thing about the game at all," said the chess player.

"Oh? Then tell me." Hades also put on a chat pose. His original purpose was to obtain more secrets about the chess game, and now is a good opportunity.

Chess players don’t care to tell him some things—at the level of Hades, many things are just a layer of paper away from the truth, which can be revealed at one point: “About this third-generation chess game between me and Woz, The key words are balance and chaos."
