Chapter 574: Chess III (1/2)

Sam's health also decreased and he only has three bars left, even in this condition, the Knight is doing significant damage to him.

But the dagger in the place is really helping Sam a lot. Now the Knight not only has to make sure that he is not bleeding to death completely, but he also has to suppress the poison and fight with Sam. If he removed the dagger from the place, he would have an advantage. Soon, the Knight's health dropped to three, but Sam's health also dropped to one and he is a bit exhausted.

As he was thinking about how to make most of the situation, the Knight risked it all and attacked Sam.

He dashed forward and slashed Sam as he moved past him.

Sam knew he was out, but even in his last breath, he risked it all and swung his staff on the back of the Knight and hit it hard on the dagger as if he is hammering the nail.

Blood spurted out and before Sam bled to death, he ran to the edge of the stage and jumped off. He wanted to confirm something and before he jumped off, he could see the Knight health dropping to one bar and he removed the dagger and threw it down the stage.

Sam once again gasped for breath as he sat in his chair, but this time the torment is not that much, jumping off the stage is giving an instant and painless death.

Sam felt relieved when he experienced that. He wouldn't want to die a painful death that many times, that is why he wanted to check if jumping off is also as painful, but apart from the greedy feeling of clinging to life and gasping for air, there is nothing he has to worry about.

The mental torment and going through a death is a lot less.

He calmed himself and waited for Kartikeya's move. Now that Knight is of no use to him. Even if he made his move with it, he could barely do anything with that Knight and the most he could do was use it as a decoy to halt Sam's steps.

But in hands of a commander like Kartikeya, it is still a great weapon. He moved the exact same Knight went for Sam's Knight.

Sam once again reappeared on the battlefield and a new piece of information entered his mind. As a Knight, he can use a mount of his own to fight and he can summon it anytime he wants within in the battle. He looked at his health bar that has ten points and waited for the opponent to attack.

He has too many beasts that he could use as a mount, but that would depend on the opponent. Sam is no stupid and wouldn't take this Knight on his last breath lightly. He sacrificed two pawns to deal with this knight and he wouldn't dare make any mistake.

The Knight whose back is still bleeding and skin already started turning purple looked at Sam and started running towards him.

Sam didn't notice any energy fluctuations at start and felt weird, so he used his eye technique and when he noticed the anomaly, he couldn't help but feel Kartikeya is too sly.

He stood there solemnly as the Knight was a few feet away, Sam waved his hand and Sky appeared before him.

He jumped on his back and dashed to the sky.

And right after he did that, the Knight exploded. The Knight used the spiritual core self-destruction method to deal some damage to Sam. That is why he thought Kartikeya is too sly.

This battle ended so casually without Sam even making any move. But before leaving he got another message and that is, for this Knight piece he cannot use another beast as his mount.

But he didn't care. He went back and looked at Kartikeya with an intense expression. He didn't expect that a great god like Kartikeya would actually stoop to this.

But he did say anything and sent the Knight to attack a Bishop.

The chain reaction has started and soon, the pieces will be dealt with one by one. There will be a continuous streak of elimination.

But most of them are pawns. From Sam's side, only the knights and bishops are out from the big players, but from Kartikeya's side, the rook is also out.

For some reason, Sam had a feeling that Kartikeya is not playing seriously. He doesn't know why, but he is sure of it. But still, he is feeling the pressure. That might be the difference between them.

When he entered the battlefield, he saw the Bishop of the opponent has a long robe and he has a staff that has an icy blue crystal on the end. It is definitely not a staff for close combat.

He is definitely a mage.

Sam is on top of Sky and looked at the Mage whose aura is extremely frosty.

The bishop pointed the staff at Sam and the crystal emitted a dazzling light and a frost beam rushed towards Sam at an incredible speed.

Sam dodged it and looked at the bishop in a surprised expression. This is a pure elemental energy beam. Not a normal spell that would have various effects, rather pure elemental energy beam.
