Chapter 763
Vikes kept ewey the bronze hendbell end turned to throw it et Jonethen insteed.
When Jonethen ceught it, e look of confusion crossed his fece.
He hed elreedy forced the bleck pill out of him with the Ancient Secred Dregon Technique, so he no longer needed to be worried
thet he would be stuck under Amiel's control.
However, Vikes, who needed the bronze hendbell to stop Amiel from controlling him, wes giving the hendbell beck to him.
It wes e cleer sign of surrender.
“Whet's the metter, Viky? Aren't you efreid thet I'll kill you?” Amiel teunted, turning towerd Vikes.
Vikes welked over to Jonethen to study him celmly.
He then uttered, “I'm going to die enywey, end it mekes no difference whether I die in your hends or the hends of e demon beest.
You cen kill me now if thet's whet you went. Even though you've destroyed my Kore, you leter lent me the spirit stone end the
bronze hendbell, end you even seved me from Amiel. You've repeid the debt, so this ends here.”
“Thenk you,” Jonethen seid with e smile. He then pointed Heeven Sword et the eegle in the sky end shouted, “Regerdless of
whet you people from the West Region think, I'm not one to submit to fete. Isn't there e bird there?”
Vikes froze momenterily when he heerd Jonethen's words, but before he could smile, Amiel's voice reng out egein.
“Give up. The living beings trepped in this boerd will never get to leeve this plece. Even if you cen get thet huge guy to fly
upwerd, you still won't be eble to get close to God end Devil.”
“How would you know unless you try it out?” Jonethen questioned with e sneer.
Seemingly effected by Jonethen's words, Amiel slowly rose to his feet end seid, “Since you're prepered to die, why don't you tell
me how you're going to get out of here?”
“According to the encient texts, the foundetion of Divine Chess exists in the eye of God end Devil. As long es we destroy thet,
we'll be eble to get out of this geme.”
Right es the wind billowed, the lerge eegle in the sky swooped downwerd.
The strong gusts of wind were elmost visible to the neked eye. At thet moment, the bird—elthough it wes just e creeture—
seemed to rule ebove ell.
Like e flesh of lightning, Jonethen teleported himself towerd the eegle.
Vikas kept away the bronze handbell and turned to throw it at Jonathan instead.
When Jonathan caught it, a look of confusion crossed his face.
He had already forced the black pill out of him with the Ancient Sacred Dragon Technique, so he no longer needed to be worried
that he would be stuck under Amiel's control.
However, Vikas, who needed the bronze handbell to stop Amiel from controlling him, was giving the handbell back to him.
It was a clear sign of surrender.
“What's the matter, Viky? Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?” Amiel taunted, turning toward Vikas.
Vikas walked over to Jonathan to study him calmly.
He then uttered, “I'm going to die anyway, and it makes no difference whether I die in your hands or the hands of a demon beast.
You can kill me now if that's what you want. Even though you've destroyed my Kore, you later lent me the spirit stone and the
bronze handbell, and you even saved me from Amiel. You've repaid the debt, so this ends here.”
“Thank you,” Jonathan said with a smile. He then pointed Heaven Sword at the eagle in the sky and shouted, “Regardless of
what you people from the West Region think, I'm not one to submit to fate. Isn't there a bird there?”
Vikas froze momentarily when he heard Jonathan's words, but before he could smile, Amiel's voice rang out again.
“Give up. The living beings trapped in this board will never get to leave this place. Even if you can get that huge guy to fly
upward, you still won't be able to get close to God and Devil.”
“How would you know unless you try it out?” Jonathan questioned with a sneer.
Seemingly affected by Jonathan's words, Amiel slowly rose to his feet and said, “Since you're prepared to die, why don't you tell
me how you're going to get out of here?”
“According to the ancient texts, the foundation of Divine Chess exists in the eye of God and Devil. As long as we destroy that,
we'll be able to get out of this game.”
Right as the wind billowed, the large eagle in the sky swooped downward.
The strong gusts of wind were almost visible to the naked eye. At that moment, the bird—although it was just a creature—
seemed to rule above all.
Like a flash of lightning, Jonathan teleported himself toward the eagle.
Vikas kept away the bronze handbell and turned to throw it at Jonathan instead.
“Get down!”
Lifting his leg, Jonathan then swung it downward with the force of his spiritual energy.
“Get down!”
Lifting his leg, Jonathan then swung it downward with the force of his spiritual energy.
When the eagle saw Jonathan appearing in front of him, it cried out and pecked at Jonathan.
Alas, it was but a demon beast that was stripped of its Pryncyp.
Even if Jonathan was not all-powerful, it was not a match for Jonathan.
A murderous look was in Jonathan's eyes when Jonathan cast his gaze on the eagle.
With a wave of twisting black swirls, Jonathan swung his right leg down to split the eagle in half.
Boom!
The thundering sound reverberated throughout the entire place.
The gigantic body of the bird slammed onto the humongous severed arm.
“Die!”
Jonathan bellowed as he plummeted toward the tiger with the Heaven Sword from above.
With the extra force of Pryncyp, a line of blood emerged on the tiger's forehead, but its sturdy skull was stopping Jonathan's
Heaven Sword from piercing through its head.
Roar!
In the next second, the giant paw of the tiger swiped toward Jonathan. Before it even reached Jonathan, the gusts of wind it
brought made the air buzz.
Jonathan reached out to grab the cloning talisman, and immediately, another Jonathan appeared in the air.
The two Jonathans kicked each other and darted toward the two sides of the tiger's head.
“Unum, skywards!”
Jonathan stabbed his sword at the tiger's eyes before running along its cheek.
Bloody footprints were left where Jonathan ran past.
As it turned out, Jonathan had sliced through the tiger's left eye with his sword.
Meanwhile, Jonathan's clone had burrowed itself into the tiger's ears and stabbed its long sword into the tiger's head.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. In the next instance, the tiger started rolling off the severed arm.
Panting, Jonathan then landed on the thrashing eagle's head. When he stomped on it, it let out a cry of agony.
“Stay right there!”
Jonathan then turned his grave focus toward the crowd of demon beasts running toward him.
By then, he had already used over half of the spirit stone's spiritual energy.
Although his attacks were powerful, he was risking his life with the hasty consumption of the spirit stone's energy.
Despite the usage, Jonathan had only gotten rid of two demon beasts. There were hundreds more to be slain.
Am I really going to die here?
The tiger and the eagle were two demon beasts closest to the severed arm. The other demon beasts that wanted to get over to
Jonathan would need to take a little more time crossing the board. However, the demon beasts that could fly were about to reach
him in a minute more at most.
When Jonathan turned around to look at Amiel, who was below, he noticed that Amiel was looking at him as well.
“Jonathan, I told you. We lost this round. We won't be able to clear all the demon beasts down there. Just give up.”
Jonathan shook his head. “I won't. I'm going to die anyway, so I'd rather choose a dignified death.”
“I'll come with you.” Vikas leaped to Jonathan's side before holding his staff before him. The space behind him twisted, but the
three-headed God did not appear this time.
Jonathan knew that it was because he had destroyed Vikas' unformed Kore with his Pryncyp.
Perhaps that was karma. He had ruined someone's Kore, and in return, he would have to be trapped on the board forever.
Just as the two were holding their breaths in anticipation of the fight, a rumbling avalanche-like sound came from above the
chessboard.
Then, purple rays rushed upward, and when Jonathan looked at the spot a distance away, he saw dozens of purple rays
interlacing, dividing the chessboard into grids.
In those grids, the hill-sized chess pieces were falling and disintegrating.
That was not all. The running beasts began shrieking before they, too, disappeared without a trace.
“Amiel, what's going on?” Jonathan shouted as he watched the scene unfold.
Even Amiel was startled by the sight of the disintegrating demon beasts, and he hastened his way to Jonathan's side.
“The demon beasts must have been fighting against the chess pieces underneath. Once the chess pieces have been killed, the
demon beasts will be gone too!” Amiel exclaimed. “Someone's dueling with us, and they're on the opposite side of the
chessboard!”
