Chapter 306: Chess Pieces and Playthings

The wall is breached!

“The wall has fallen! Charge!”

Niuniu was overcome with excitement, roaring with all his might at a group of Soldier Chess Pieces.

“…” Guagua’s eye twitched. “Brother Niu, what are you shouting for? We’re already dead. There’s no way they can hear you.”

Hearing this, Niuniu snapped back to his senses and coughed lightly. “Ahem. I’m just trying to match the atmosphere.”

Storms raged and tides surged, lightning flashed amidst the downpour.

Warship cannons boomed, and the sounds of battle echoed across the sky.

The atmosphere was so intense that one couldn’t help but get swept up in it, unable to break free.

With the wall breached, the Kingdom Faction had seized a decisive advantage.

Although the Demon Faction’s Chess Pieces were still fighting desperately to halt the advance of the Kingdom’s Chess Pieces, the number of breaches in the flesh wall only grew as other Giant Beasts continued their assault.

Seawater poured in, and many of the Kingdom Faction’s sailboats slipped through. They entered the area between the flesh wall and the hatchery, engaged the Demon Chess Pieces in battle, and firmly seized the upper hand, their advantage steadily growing.

The Demon Chess Pieces’ line of defense was on the verge of collapse.

Meanwhile, in the sky, the tide of battle between the two factions’ strongest Chess Pieces was also turning in favor of the [Kingdom Hero].

Although the [Sin-eating Demon] was stronger in terms of raw power, Shore, that sneaky bastard, kept launching surprise attacks. As a result, the Kingdom Hero now had the Demon firmly suppressed and even seemed close to landing a killing blow.

“For the Kingdom!”

The Kingdom Hero roared as he unleashed his Magic. A stream of light descended, and the aftershock blasted across the battlefield.

BOOM! A bone ship from the Demon Faction was instantly obliterated.

The aftershock alone was enough to wipe out an entire ship of Demon Chess Pieces without any friendly fire.

These Chess Pieces weren’t very bright, but they didn’t choke at critical moments or attack their own teammates. They were far more reliable than the Kingdom Giant.

The situation could be summed up in four words: The advantage is ours!

However.

Just as Skyrim was leading the Chess Pieces to press their advantage at the front, Wa Zai was fighting desperately in the sea, and Shore was launching relentless sneak attacks—just as the situation couldn’t look any better…

The fissure in the sky appeared once more.

[The Giant opened the box.]

[Seeing the situation in the box, the Kingdom Giant laughed heartily, while the Monster Giant was somewhat surprised.]

[The game has undoubtedly reached its most critical moment. The Chess Pieces are nearly exhausted, making the two Giants’ next moves in this match extremely important.]

[Capture the enemy’s final structure, and victory seems to be within reach.]

[But after some discussion, the two Giants seem to have no intention of letting this game end as tediously as usual…]

Seeing this, the hearts of the three frozen players tightened.

‘What kind of tricks are these two bastards trying to pull now? I was about to win!’ Shore roared internally.

But his inner fury could not affect the enormous hands of the Giants over the board.

[The two Giants added the final Chess Pieces.]

At that moment, the resurrected Niuniu and Guagua were placed onto the board.

[A Giant stretched out its hand. A terrifying gravitational force sucked away the seawater and sailboats, and the storm was snuffed out with a casual slap.]

[A Giant dropped a mysterious creature onto the board…]

Above the game box, the hand of a Giant blotted out the sky.

It picked up a soft-bodied, leech-like creature between its fingers and then let go.

The leech-like creature began to plummet toward the board.

WHOOSH—

Amidst the violent howl, the leech’s body began to change, affected by the Power of the board.

Spikes, a giant maw, and sinister horns.

THUD—

Its transformation complete, it crashed to the ground, landing in the very center of the battlefield.

While all the other Chess Pieces were frozen in place, it let out a terrifying shriek and stretched its slime-covered body.

[The Giant issued a reprimand.]

Before the Giant, however, it was merely a small leech. Upon being warned, it obediently curled up its body and went still.

[This time, the two Giants decided to watch the final spectacle put on by the Chess Pieces.]

This time, the fissure in the sky did not close. The ceiling of the House of Giants replaced the sky, and two blurry Giant heads leaned down slightly, admiring the changes on the board.

The stiffness in their bodies began to fade.

The five-person squad stared at the enormous monster in the center of the battlefield, its terrifying aura making all their pupils contract.

[Leech of the Giant’s Blessing]

[Tier: ?]

[Explanation: A leech that received a Giant’s Blessing and gained immense Power. Its appearance will undoubtedly provide the Giants with a decent performance…]

Its Tier, Level, and Warfire were all just a series of question marks.

This Giant Leech undoubtedly possessed the terrifying power to crush every other Chess Piece on the board!

[The rules of the board have changed.]

[New rule of the board—Survive.]

GURGLE GURGLE…

As if on command, the Giant Leech’s enormous, sticky body began to unfurl, its form swelling even larger.

Under these circumstances, every Chess Piece on the battlefield, whether from the Demon or Kingdom Faction, simultaneously stopped what they were doing.

Niuniu, who had just been placed back on the board, felt his heart sink. He came to his senses and yelled to the others, “This is bad! Run! Get back!”

Just as Niuniu shouted, the Kingdom Soldiers and Demon Chess Pieces moved.

They dropped their Weapons, ceased their life-or-death struggles, and scattered in all directions like startled animals.

Any direction was fine, as long as it led away from the Giant Monster!

“HSSS—”

The Giant Leech arched its body, its maw churning as it let out a horrifying screech.

Then, several tentacles suddenly shot out from its sides, snatching up the nearest Chess Pieces with incredible speed.
