Witcher: I Can Extract Everything

Chapter 332 Out of Bounds

Heath said, “Win? Why do we have to win?”

Nyssa and Carrette were stunned.

Nyssa frowned and said doubtfully, “Sir Wizard, I don’t understand what you mean. Aren’t we here to win this game of chess?”

Heath shook his head as a matter of course. “Of course not.”

Nyssa and Carrette looked at each other.

It was obvious that the two of them were full of questions. Unfortunately, Heath did not intend to answer them.

He simply said, “Alright, just follow my instructions. Now it’s your turn, Carrette. Move forward twelve steps…”

The chessboard continued.

Although Nyssa and Carrette had many questions in their hearts, they could only temporarily suppress the doubts in their hearts and listen to Heath’s arrangements. After all, the two of them did not understand the game of chess, there was no good way to play on the chessboard other than being a good chess piece. Just like that, under the command of Heath, the white side, which they represented, kept exchanging moves with the black side. With the absolute difference in strength, their chess pieces were eaten one by one, and the decline was very obvious.

However, Heath did not seem to be in a hurry at all. He just continued to calmly command the chessboard.

After dozens of rounds of confrontation, Heath’s side was at a disadvantage without any surprise. They were even in a desperate situation…

Boom! With a loud sound, the debris in the sky fell apart.

A White Knight in armor was smashed into pieces by the Black Knight’s heavy sword. The heavy cross-shaped sword fell to the ground with a clang.

Nisse and Carrette seemed to be startled by the sound, and their faces turned pale.

Their scalps went numb as they looked at the broken stones on the ground. Their faces were extremely ugly, and their eyes were filled with panic.

It was the last one.

This was their last movable statue chess piece. After this chess piece fell, there were only a few white chess pieces left on the chessboard, except for the King. According to the rules, the King could not fight on the chessboard. In other words, the next battle between the two sides’ pieces would have to be fought by the few of them.

One had to know that there were at least hundreds of black pieces left on the chessboard. How could the few of them have a chance of winning?

The two of them looked at Heath with grave expressions, wanting to see how the Wizard’s expression was now.

However, when they looked over, they could not help but be stunned. Contrary to what they had expected, there was still not a trace of panic on Heath’s face. He was still as calm as before, it was as if everything was still under his control.

There was even a hint of joy on the corner of his mouth. It was as if the one who was in a desperate situation was not them but the black side.

In the next second, they quickly knew where Heath’s calmness came from.

But Heath suddenly said, “Nyssa, move forward twenty steps.”

Hearing the order, Nyssa subconsciously walked forward, but when she reached the 19th step, she was suddenly stunned.

She quickly said to Heath, “It’s out of the chessboard.”

After 19 steps, she was now standing at the edge of the chessboard. If she took another step forward, she would definitely walk out of the chessboard.

Unexpectedly, Heath still insisted, “Do as I say. Don’t care what’s in front of you. Keep moving forward.”

Nyssa frowned. Although she didn’t know much about this kind of chessboard, she still knew the basic rules. After all, The King’s War was a very popular board game on the continent, whether it was the secular world or the Wizard World.

According to the rules of the game ‘The King’s War’, once a chess piece stepped out of the chessboard, it would become useless. In other words, if she stepped out of the chessboard now, she would be useless.

However, Heath was the one in charge here. As a young Apprentice, she could not go against the will of a Wizard. Seeing that Heath was insistent, Nyssa could only take a step forward and step out of the chessboard.

Nyssa now completely lost the ability to be a chess piece. She could only watch the battle from the outside of the chessboard like a useless piece, and could no longer provide any help to the chessboard.

In other words, Heath had lost a chess piece without any effect, and it was in this situation where there were not many chess pieces left on his side.

What was he going to do?

Before Nyssa could figure it out, she was even more confused by what Heath was going to do next.

“Carrette, take twelve steps forward.”

Yes, just like Nyssa, Carrette found himself at the edge of the chessboard after taking eleven steps forward. Then, he stepped out of the chessboard.

Well, there weren’t many chess pieces left.

Did Heath put them up?

Just as everyone was wondering, Heath’s next move shocked them even more.

“Nina, it’s your turn. Take six steps forward.”

“Then… The stone man…”

“And finally, me!”

Yes, Heath not only sent Nyssa and Carrette out of the chessboard, but also sent out a few more orders, sending all the chess pieces, including himself, out of the chessboard.

This time, only the King, who was alone in the camp area, was still standing on the chessboard. In contrast, there were hundreds of black chess pieces surrounding the camp.

At this stage of the game, there was no need to continue. After all, the King’s range of movement in the chessboard was limited. It was impossible for him to win under such an encirclement.

Nyssa and Carrette looked at each other and turned to look at Heath. They did not understand if he still had any way to turn the tables? If he did not, then what was with his calm expression?

Under the gaze of the two, Heath patted his knees with a calm expression and said, “Let’s

go.”

Nyssa and Carrette were stunned. “Where are we going?”

Heath said, “To continue looking for the Heart of the Sea.”

Nyssa was puzzled. “So we don’t care about the chessboard?”

Heath sneered. “Aren’t we here for the Heart of the Sea? Are you here to play chess?”

The two were stunned.

They turned to look at the chessboard, then looked at the ground under their feet, and suddenly came back to their senses.

“So that’s how it is!” Carrette said with a sudden realization.

“Sir Wizard, you didn’t plan to win that game from the beginning. You had the intention to let us walk out of the chessboard from the beginning!”

Hearing Carrette’s words, Nyssa also reacted and couldn’t help but open her mouth wide.

Heath smiled and said, “Did you just react?”

Carrette was right. Heath’s initial plan was not to win this game, but to just pass through the chessboard and reach the other end of the chessboard.

In any case, according to the rules, the next round was their turn to make a move. As long as they did not make a move, the black side on the other side could not move, and the chess pieces that walked out of the chessboard could move freely.

Then, they could continue to explore the dungeon. Why must they divide the victory and defeat on the chessboard?
