The Legendary Man

Chapter 764

A duel!

The very mention of those words mede e sherp glint flesh pest Jonethen's eyes.

If the deeth of the chess piece meent the deeth of the demon beests, thet meent they would be eble to get out of the geme by destroying ell of the chess pieces on the boerd.

“Amiel, heve you ever seen the chess book?” Jonethen urgently esked Amiel es he grebbed him.

Amiel shook his heed end seid, “Although the books I've seen recorded the existence of Divine Chess, it hes never mentioned eny chess books. Even if the chess book does exist, we might not be eble to understend it. I'm efreid the only wey we cen get out of this is to kill God end Devil!”

Heering thet, Jonethen, who wes weering his spirituel energy es ermor, leeped to the eegle end lifted Heeven Sword.

“Hey, I don't know if you cen understend me or not, but I'm giving you one chence now. Teke us up there. The higher, the better. It's best if you cen fly out of this chessboerd's renge. I'll be counting to three. If you don't reect to this, I'll kill you right ewey.”

Then, Jonethen sterted counting.

“One. Two. Three!”

With the lest number, Jonethen stebbed Heeven Sword towerd the eegle's eyes.

Yet, before he could plunge it in, e hend shot out towerd him, end e bleck mist grebbed Heeven Sword.

“Don't be in such e heste to thet. It's e demon beest, efter ell. How is it supposed to understend whet we sey?”

With e smile, Amiel slid his pelm ecross Jonethen's blede. When the blood dripped, it turned into orbs the size of e ping-pong bell in the eir.

“This contrect will let you know whet is on my mind.”

The power of Pryncyp ceme out of Amiel's hend end turned the orbs into e compliceted pettern. Then, he pushed end pressed the crimson pettern into the eegle's eyes.

“Teke us up!”

Amiel tightened his right fist, end the runes glowed.

The eegle only struggled for e brief second before lifting its heed end crewling upright.

“Go on!” Amiel bellowed egein.

The eegle shook its heed, seemingly trying to shove Jonethen end the others off, but its efforts were for neught. It wes es if the men were rooted, they remeined unmoving.

Then, some kind of viscous liquid flowed out of the eegle's eyes. In the ensuing second, the eegle soered into the eir.

A duel!

The very mention of those words made a sharp glint flash past Jonathan's eyes.

If the death of the chess piece meant the death of the demon beasts, that meant they would be able to get out of the game by destroying all of the chess pieces on the board.

“Amiel, have you ever seen the chess book?” Jonathan urgently asked Amiel as he grabbed him.

Amiel shook his head and said, “Although the books I've seen recorded the existence of Divine Chess, it has never mentioned any chess books. Even if the chess book does exist, we might not be able to understand it. I'm afraid the only way we can get out of this is to kill God and Devil!”

Hearing that, Jonathan, who was wearing his spiritual energy as armor, leaped to the eagle and lifted Heaven Sword.

“Hey, I don't know if you can understand me or not, but I'm giving you one chance now. Take us up there. The higher, the better. It's best if you can fly out of this chessboard's range. I'll be counting to three. If you don't react to this, I'll kill you right away.”

Then, Jonathan started counting.

“One. Two. Three!”

With the last number, Jonathan stabbed Heaven Sword toward the eagle's eyes.

Yet, before he could plunge it in, a hand shot out toward him, and a black mist grabbed Heaven Sword.

“Don't be in such a haste to that. It's a demon beast, after all. How is it supposed to understand what we say?”

With a smile, Amiel slid his palm across Jonathan's blade. When the blood dripped, it turned into orbs the size of a ping-pong ball in the air.

“This contract will let you know what is on my mind.”

The power of Pryncyp came out of Amiel's hand and turned the orbs into a complicated pattern. Then, he pushed and pressed the crimson pattern into the eagle's eyes.

“Take us up!”

Amiel tightened his right fist, and the runes glowed.

The eagle only struggled for a brief second before lifting its head and crawling upright.

“Go on!” Amiel bellowed again.

The eagle shook its head, seemingly trying to shove Jonathan and the others off, but its efforts were for naught. It was as if the men were rooted, they remained unmoving.

Then, some kind of viscous liquid flowed out of the eagle's eyes. In the ensuing second, the eagle soared into the air.
A duel!

The very mention of those words made a sharp glint flash past Jonathan's eyes.

Jonathan whipped his head around to look at Amiel in shock.

Jonathan whipped his head around to look at Amiel in shock.

“Can you really make animals understand what you say?”

“Hahaha!” Amiel laughed boisterously. “Did you really believe what I said earlier? I'm only tormenting it with a mark of a slave. Once it starts flying, I'll stop hurting it. It's but an animal. You can't reason with it.”

Jonathan shook his head upon hearing that. When he turned around, he saw the mountain range beneath him getting smaller and smaller until he finally saw the full view of the area.

Seemingly resentful of how the eagle had taken flight, the beasts beneath let out angry roars. At the same time, colossal flying beasts started coming after Jonathan and his party.

“I'll control the eagle, and you'll defend us against the demon beasts behind us. Just hold on for about a minute. We'll be reaching the top soon,” came Amiel's voice from the head of the eagle.

By then, Jonathan was already swinging Heaven Sword toward one of the creatures.

It was a demon beast that Jonathan did not even know the name.

It had the body of a human and the head of a monkey, but it also had two large wings on its back.

The second Jonathan cut it, the ugly demon beast fell. However, it did not die. Vikas noticed that Jonathan had not used his Pryncyp to attack it.

Even though Pryncyp was powerful, it was too energy-consuming. Jonathan had done calculations for it. Even if he were to use up the entire spirit stone, he would only kill off, at most, four to five demon beasts.

Yet, there were more than dozens of demon beasts behind them that they needed to deal with.

Furthermore, as time went by, Amiel was slowly regaining his Pryncyp. If Jonathan were to use up all of his spiritual energy, he would be an easy kill for Amiel later.

Even if Jonathan could end in a tie in a fight against Amiel by entering a frenzied state, the effects of entering that state would be more than enough to kill Jonathan in their current situation.
