Pillar of Yita

Chapter 71: The True Usage of Margin_4


If that's all there is, then this match has ended here.

In the rules of 'Liox Beast Chess', defense fully recovers every round, so in this round of attack, Vikki actually only lost two Clockwork Fairies and one Life Point of the Fearless One.

During the next round's full counterattack, not only will Fang Hong's entire army be annihilated, but seriously calculated, he still owes Vikki quite a bit of life.

But just this is obviously not enough to make people gasp in surprise.

It was only when Vikki looked at the Crystal, ready to gain the right to move next round, that the expected prompt did not come. She was stunned for a moment, then looked up, in the depths of her eyes full of astonishment, she saw Fang Hong's Clockwork Fairy pause only slightly.

Then launched an attack on her pieces once more.

Second round of attack.

Vikki slightly opened her mouth, her mind went blank.

Across the board, in a place of emptiness, separated by great distances, in an underground chamber—Fang Hong was silently watching his Clockwork Fairy as it launched the second round of attack. It wasn't until this moment that he exhaled a deep breath while holding the Crystal.

In that instant, he suddenly felt a bit grateful to the ID named Shana.

Because the rules on this board were exactly the same as that training software provided by the other party, he had discovered in his previous attempts: that little girl named Vikki could only act once per Margin Technique.

In fact, the real rule of this board is that the Margin Technique can only be used once per round on each piece. But with a single Margin Technique, the actions that a Flexible Construct can perform are not limited to just one.

He only realized this point recently.

In that training, he could already use the Margin Technique to act a third time, and even a fourth time, though he was still far from passing the training, it was more than enough to deal with beginners in Margin Technique.

His understanding of the Margin, compared to two months ago, was now completely different.

And this board, as he had suspected, seemed to be a true training software for Margin Technique. He even vaguely felt that this Beast Chess was actually a means for experts delving deeply into 'Margin Technique' to spar with each other.

However, he was also curious.

Including the software given to him by Shana, under what circumstances were these training programs, specifically designed to enhance Margin Technique, created, and why did so many top craftsmen coincidentally favor this skill?

Yet the answer to this question may no longer matter here.

Because the Clockwork Fairy had launched the third round of attack.

Two Walkers and the Fearless One simultaneously disappeared from the board.

The remaining result seemed to lack suspense—

Only Vikki stubbornly used the Annihilator to kill one of Fang Hong's Clockwork Fairies, and the Shield Bearer's shield ability dragged on for two rounds before finally being ruled out due to losing all pieces.

When she dazedly walked down from the platform, she felt someone supporting her.

She looked up, only to find it was the long-haired youth with the Silver Forest Spear—though she didn't know his name. The long-haired youth was looking anxiously at her, his mouth opening and closing, asking:

"Can the Margin Technique really achieve a second action...?"

Vikki's mind buzzed, but she was also pondering the same question, could the Margin Technique really achieve a second action?

The exclamations in the hall completely disappeared.

Everyone was left staring at each other in confusion.

On the viewing platform, Sonan Steelbrow was holding the Crystal, repeatedly replaying the previous scene, and then he dryly asked on the Ether Network: "Old Blacksmith... your student..."

"Shut up."

Ande Ulriel's voice came back.

Then cut off the communication.

Leaving only the Crystal's astonished, babbling voices of the old guys asking questions.

"Old Blacksmith? Old Blacksmith!?"

"Damn it!" The Old Dwarf jumped with rage.

In the basement—

Ande Ulriel was putting down the Crystal, turning to look at Fang Hong, his silver ash eyes full of incredible surprise—glancing at this young man, then at Hilveld beside him.

Miss Ship's Officer was smiling warmly, as if she had never worried from the start that Fang Hong would lose.

"Kid," the old man took a deep breath and somewhat seriously picked up another Crystal, handing it to Fang Hong: "...now that we're alone, you, come and play a game with me."

"Huh?"

Fang Hong was slightly stunned.

Didn't he just win, so why play again?
