Volume 3 Takeoff Chapter 439: Battle on the Chessboard

Neferata seems to be acting as a half-mouse, but Levi will not be polite. He also chooses to let Cindy, his assistant, take action.
Then a level 6 elite battle angel appeared.
Ever since she obtained the angel feather cloak and gained the ability to fly, these angels have almost always accompanied her in battle.
Although there will be casualties when the battle is particularly difficult and fierce, the angels that have survived to this day are undoubtedly the elite among the elite.
As a high-level celestial creature, she can almost ignore all of the Havoc's magic. At the same time, she has high mobility and high attack power, so she can kill the opponent without any suspense, and she may not even need to spend any health or magic points.
Arkhan frowned a little, but when he saw Neferata beside him, he softened his heart instantly.
He kept comforting himself in his heart, it's okay, it's just a level 6 angel, what's wrong with letting him go?
As long as you release one of your corpse dragons or ghost dragons, you can almost kill your way through the entire field. Even if the opponent releases a sphinx, it will be useless.
What is recorded in the Death Tome is only the most basic type of Sphinx. Although it is made without any cutting corners, it has a fatal weakness, which is that it cannot attack in the air!
Next came dozens of summons, and the summoned creatures started fighting one after another.
During this process, Neferata's Giant Skull Demon was killed by Cindy's Battle Angel without any suspense.
On the other side, the Red Flame Envoy also successfully defeated the opponent's Bone Dragon after a hard battle.
The bone dragon has perfect attributes in all aspects, but it has only one weakness, which is its poor flexibility and maneuverability, which is something that even real dragons cannot avoid.
The agility of an ordinary adult dragon basically does not exceed 10 points.
In ordinary battles, even if the enemy knew this, they would not be able to take advantage of it, because the dragon's magic, dragon fire breath, deadly flapping of giant wings, claws and fangs, etc., can easily defeat a large number of enemies.
But after turning into a bone dragon, many of the tricks he had in life were no longer usable. Unfortunately, the Red Flame Master was also a level 6 elite, and his agility was far superior to that of a bone dragon.
In addition, Levi had specifically reminded him of this, so he successfully took advantage of the opponent's weakness.
But the bone dragon's real strength was there after all, and he ended up being seriously injured, making it impossible for him to defeat the second bone dragon.
So Levi assigned him some relatively easy tasks, which was to clear out the miscellaneous soldiers.
To deal with those graveyard guards or tomb evil spirits, high-level Red Flame Masters don’t even need to land on the ground, they can easily deal with them with fire magic.
In this way, low-level summons like the Mastiff-headed Yakon don't have to take the risk of fighting with the other side. They just need to try their best to get close to Arkhan.
Once successful, Arkhan will lose a few health points, and they are also very useful.
Although chess skills are not particularly important in this so-called "chessboard battle", Arkhan is a complete chess loser!
I really don't know where his confidence comes from. Could it be that he thinks he can defeat me with his many summoned creatures?
Levi felt that if he continued in this way and still could not win, he would not only be sorry for himself and Cindy, but also for the people who were still in the pyramid, who were anxiously and worriedly waiting for him.
He even felt sorry for Neferata and Arkhan, as this was an opportunity they had offered themselves to him!
After more than ten rounds, Arkhan frowned more and more, because although most of his summons seemed to be only slightly worse than the opponents, after so many rounds of fighting, somehow he lost nine out of ten battles?
Now even the bone dragon is gone, with only two terror knights left in the corner, and the opponent's army of summons is almost in sight.
If he continues like this, he might even lose the battle!
Arkhan suddenly felt unsettled. Whether it was the loss of one of the Nine Volumes of Nagash that he had already obtained, or losing to a wizard who was not even a legendary level, he could not accept it!
Fortunately, the next dice rolled a 7, and he immediately felt confident that as long as his carefully modified heavy-armored corpse dragon came on the field, the situation would be reversed immediately.
But at this time, Neferata suddenly said: "Akhan, leave it to me this time."
The soul fire in Arkhan's eyes flickered. This was the first time in many years that she called him without any special words such as curses or swearing in front of the name.
And the reason why she appeared here must be that she wanted to help him, so he nodded in agreement.
So Neferata summoned a super fat man who was four meters tall and had a waist circumference of almost four meters, and was made up of many broken corpses.
It holds a huge iron hook and a machete, and has a huge and ferocious mouth on its abdomen. Behind its thick neck is a slightly shorter arm, also holding a dagger.
As it moved slightly, disgusting green mucus flowed out from all over its body, and a cloudy gas of the same color continued to spread around.
This is an abomination, one of the ultimate undead soldiers, and it seems to be a carefully selected elite.
Abominations are usually at least level 6 soldiers. They can use the big mouth in their abdomen to eat corpses to restore their health while fighting.
The cloud of disease surrounding its body will harm any enemy who dares to engage it in close combat.
In addition, the iron hook in its hand can be thrown out to pull enemies within a certain distance, and then ravage them with a machete.
As for its high attack, high defense, and extremely strong vitality, etc., those can be seen with the naked eye. Generally speaking, it is a very powerful undead soldier.
But Arkhan frowned because it appeared at the wrong time.
It is indeed very powerful, but its strength lies in its ability to fight in melee and survive in large-scale battlefields .
If they fight one-on-one now, its negative state will have no effect on the Sphinx, and it cannot replenish its life by eating corpses. It has no chance of being the opponent.
Nagash did indeed divide his records about the Death Guards into several volumes, but their strength has not been compromised at all!
But for the sake of face, he finally held back. After all, she might not know that Levi had mastered the Ceremony of Death.
His performance immediately made Neferata quite proud.
Her entire Silver Blood Army was gone. How could she not conduct a targeted investigation into information about Levi afterwards?
Lucia contributed a lot to this, and she had been with Arkhan for so many years, and she was not just wasting time, so of course she knew about the existence of the Death Ceremony.
So she picked one who looked very strong and would definitely not alert Arkhan, but was actually bound to lose.
And she had clearly tricked him, but he still had to thank him!
After summoning the abomination, she deliberately took credit for it: "How is it? I used the corpses of some giants and trolls to create this, a 7th-level elite soldier."
" If it weren't for the recent greenskin rampage, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to get such a finished product."
For most races, the rampage of greenskins and ratmen is indeed a disaster.
But for the undead who are good at using corpses and souls, it is a good opportunity to make a fortune.
Even if the current situation continues, she will not only be able to take the opportunity to recover some of her strength, but it is also possible for her to completely make up for the losses of the Silver Blood Army.
The likes of Terror Knight are difficult to train, but if there are enough Abominations, they can also play a similar role!
Arkhan wanted to tell her the truth, but he finally held it back. He just forced a smile with his zombie face: "Yes, it's really good. Thank you very much."
Then the next moment, as expected, he saw Levi summon a sphinx, and his mood suddenly became worse.
Neferata pretended not to see it at all. Then she rolled her eyes and asked tentatively: "By the way, are you still collecting the Nine Volumes of Nagash recently?"
Arkhan nodded: "That's right."
There is nothing to hide. Who wouldn't want to collect all the undead in the main world as long as they have some strength?
He even knew that she had tried it before, but failed.
Neferata continued to ask: "So after you collect all nine volumes, what will you do next?"
Arkhan hesitated for a moment, but he finally chose not to hide it: "I will resurrect Nagash."
When Neferata heard this, she was immediately furious: "What? Resurrecting Nagash? Again?"
Although the emergence of her and the vampire clan was all thanks to Nagash, she did not have the slightest gratitude in her heart.
Nagash's talent in magic is undoubtedly unmatched, but except for Arkhan, the other subordinates are completely unworthy of mention in his eyes, and are considered trash that can be discarded at any time.
Over the past countless years, he has demonstrated his ideas through countless practical actions.
The other vampire ancestors were also extremely dissatisfied with this, and they were walking on thin ice all day long. Every time they served him, they were trembling with fear, fearing that they would become the next victim.
But they are all vampire ancestors and usually have a high status, but when they come to Nagash, they become like dogs. How can they tolerate this?
So at a critical moment in a war, she united with them and collectively betrayed them, which led to his defeat and indirectly killed him again.
Nagash had been resurrected several times before, and they had all been worried that with Nagash's narrow-mindedness and strong desire for revenge, he would definitely come back to take action against them.
The reason why he didn't really threaten them was not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't.
Because once he is resurrected, the first ones to jump out will be the Egyptian gods, and then the Tomb Kings. They all have a lot of accounts to settle with him.
But she didn't dare to take the risk. Who knew that after experiencing several deaths and being resurrected this time, would Nagash become smarter and seek revenge on them, the weak ones, first?
Arkhan's face suddenly turned serious: "There is no room for negotiation on this matter. I must revive Nagash."
Although she had expected it, Neferata still felt a chill in her heart.
Indeed, both Nagash and Arkhan died several times, but they were also resurrected by each other several times.
Nagash viewed Arkhan as a reliable and capable subordinate, and Arkhan always repaid him with loyalty.
But from her point of view, she absolutely does not want to see Nagash return again!
So the little bit of guilt I just felt disappeared instantly, and was replaced by deep hatred.
To Nagash, and also to Arkhan.
After becoming a vampire, many negative emotions will be magnified countless times.
Even if he was a morally upright, lawful good priest in his lifetime, after being transformed into a vampire, he will fall into darkness forever and become cold and cruel.
If a person is already gloomy or evil-minded, he will become even more vicious.
It is also because of this that not only will outsiders not form an alliance with vampires, but vampires have never had any stable allies among themselves.
As the queen of vampires, Neferata was inevitably affected by similar factors.
But she didn't show it immediately and just remained silent.
Seeing that Neferata did not discuss or argue with him about this unquestionable issue as she had done several times before, Akhan felt relieved. It seemed that she really wanted to reconcile with him this time.
But for some reason, he suddenly felt a little uneasy, as if he had overlooked something.
But the battle on the chessboard was still going on. The opponent was pressing forward step by step and getting closer and closer to him, so he had no way of being distracted.
Levi didn't notice the opponent's details for the time being, because most of his attention was now focused on the chessboard.
It has to be said that Arkhan is a really bad chess player. With the addition of Neferata, the traitor, victory is increasingly tilted towards him.
He has even gradually changed the way he fights. He is trying his best not to fight with the opponent's summons, but to get close to the opponent himself and reduce his health as his primary goal.
Because now the summons controlled by Arkhan, except for the abominations, are mostly not threatening, it would be better to let them live on the field and occupy a spot.
If he killed them all, the dice might explode one day and roll out larger numbers, and Arkhan might get several corpse dragons as reinforcements, which would be very disadvantageous for him.
However, it was also because of this battle that he realized his weakness, which was that his summoned flying creatures were seriously lacking in strength.
If he hadn't been able to hire Cindy as an external aid, he would have had even less to offer.
It seems that after this battle is over, it is time to try to change this situation.
Just as he was thinking about it, he found that a "6" appeared again. Arkhan laughed and decided to send out a skull dragon.
But Neferata suddenly said, "Akhan, let me do it this time. I don't know the other party's background just now, but I promise that I will surprise you this time."
Arkhan hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed.
After all, the reason why he summoned the other party was to lend a helping hand to him. As the head of a family, she must have some powerful summons in her hands.
However, he still gave a little reminder: "Try to choose flying types, which is the opponent's weakness. As long as you can successfully defeat him and collect the nine volumes of Zenagash later, I will personally plead with Nagash on your behalf."
In the end, he was somewhat lacking in confidence.
Although he has always been Nagash's most loyal subordinate and general, Nagash is sometimes very willful. No, it should be said that he is willful almost all the time.
Nagash never cares about other people's friendship or face. He only decides everything according to his mood.
But Akhan didn't know that these last few words would become the engine that ignited Neferata's anger.
She originally wanted to pretend a little like she did last time, but now she has decided that she must tell him clearly: I am not happy!
So a few seconds later, Arkhan and Levi were very surprised to find that Neferata had actually summoned a level 0 carrion crow this time, which could only communicate but had no combat capabilities at all.
The rank of the summoned creature cannot be higher than the number on the dice, but there is no limit below that!
Arkhan turned his head suddenly and looked at Neferata who was sneering at him without any concealment. In an instant, he understood everything and understood why he felt something was wrong just now.
He spoke word by word: "Is this your purpose? To make me lose this crucial battle?"
"That's right! I never want to see Nagash resurrected again, even if he will soon be sent to the grave again, but I don't want to gamble, I want to live, I want to continue to enjoy life, enjoy my eternal life!"
"And you will be his lackey forever, living in hiding for the rest of your life!"
After shouting out this series of words very happily, Neferata didn't want to stay any longer and went straight into the magic circle and disappeared.
As a helper, she had the right to leave freely.
Arkhan was stunned for a moment, and then he became furious: "Asshole, you don't know what you messed up. I must resurrect Nagash. Only he can avoid that desperate fate!"
The impact on the chessboard battle was secondary, but her intelligence and talent were all used on himself, which made him even more angry and helpless!
Li Wei, who was originally enjoying the melon, suddenly narrowed his eyes.
His intuition told him that what Arkhan said might be related to what Lilith had said before.
"What do you mean by despair?"
Looking in the direction of the voice, the soul fire in Arkhan's eyes was turbulent, showing that his emotions were not calm at the moment: "I see a future full of despair. Only Nagash can stop it!"
"You still have a chance to save this, that is to admit defeat now and hand it all over to me!"
Levi snorted: "Even if Nagash is resurrected again, what can we do?"
"Even if there really is a huge crisis, there are many people who are stronger, smarter, and more eager to maintain the existing order than him. Why should it be his turn?"
"How many times has he been resurrected? Each time he is weaker than before. What can he do?"
This series of questions instantly silenced Arkhan, because he knew that what Levi said was true.
But he really had no better choice, he could only put his hopes on Nagash.
"Because this is his destiny."
As soon as Levi heard this, he knew that the conversation couldn't continue, because usually when talking about fate, the other party is at a loss for words, or simply doesn't want to have a sincere conversation with you.
Among so many gods, there are only a few that are related to fate, because they cannot control the fate of other gods, and their divine duties will always be incomplete.
Among the existing gods' duties, even those related to fate often have some qualifiers added in front of them.
For example, the god of fate and history of the elves, Labelas Ennoreth, also known as the "Sage of Sunset".
But even so, they usually don't do very well.
Because elves also have legendary heroes, leaders of various churches, princes and princesses of kingdoms and the like, there are usually other elven gods behind them.
Can you, the god of fate of the elves, really control their fate? Absolutely impossible!
Therefore, his priesthood is still incomplete, and naturally he cannot be very strong.
It is said that he is an ancient god who has lived for thousands of years, but his godhood is still at level 2, and his actual combat power is not as good as Sobek. Levi even doubts that he may not be able to defeat Illidan.
Intelligence obtained from Lilith showed that he had recently even intended to abandon this priesthood which not only failed to provide him with strength but instead dragged him down.
Then turn your focus to the historical priesthood and move towards the longevity priesthood.
Although it sounds like the words "fate" and "longevity" have completely different meanings, in reality, the power of faith that can be brought to him is most likely the latter.
After a brief communication with Arkhan, the battle on the chessboard continued.
After being backstabbed by Neferata, Levi suddenly had an extra level 6 summoning slot. He thought about it for a moment and chose to summon the little female dragon - Catherine.
It's not entirely because I want to borrow her strength, but also because I want to show her this special battlefield.
Because he has always wanted to recruit her, but there has not been much progress. Now might be an opportunity.
He wanted to tell her that he was already able to fight against the famous Black Arkhan, and would only become stronger in the future. She would definitely not suffer any loss if she came to him for help.
And to be honest, among all the silver dragons in the main world, it is not known whether there are any, or how many, who can truly defeat Arkhan in his prime.
Although dragons have powerful talents, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult for them to truly grow up.
It's not just the powerful shackles brought by blood, but also because their whole bodies are full of treasures. There are too many people who want to slay the dragon to gain benefits and fame.
The more famous and powerful the dragons are, the more attention they tend to attract.
Silver dragons are lawful good, so many churches of good gods, priests, paladins, druids, etc. will form an alliance with them.
However, the evil gods and the churches under their command will also form an alliance with the evil dragons, and then eye the good dragons covetously. These are all corresponding.
As Catherine appeared, she was indeed shocked. Arkhan's black teeth were almost his unique mark. Combined with the powerful undead creatures on the field, she almost immediately confirmed his identity.
This made Levi feel very satisfied. If possible, he really wanted her to stay forever.
The battle on the chessboard continued. Although Arkhan was affected by Neferata, he quickly adjusted his thoughts. He had experienced countless battles and had seen similar scenes before.
But even though he started to fight Levi hard, he found out with some sadness that he was losing the battle.
Because his luck was really bad today, nine out of ten times the dice in the air were 1-5, which made the bone dragons, ghost dragons, corpse dragons, etc. in his hands completely useless, and in the end he could only rely on the terror knight.
But the Terror Knight's chance of winning against the Dragon Golem is too low.
This even made him feel a little regretful. Perhaps he shouldn't have been so impulsive before. There were obviously many ways to deal with the opponent, but he shouldn't have chosen this one just to save energy!
But the next moment, Arkhan suddenly perked up, because he realized that the turning point had come. This time the dice rolled an 8, which meant that he could summon any existence to the field, including hero-level units!
He couldn't help but sneer: "Levi, your doomsday is here!"
"Come out, Skeleton King!"
As he roared, a skeleton appeared, with corpse fire burning all over its body, an extremely tall figure, a shield in the left hand, a big sword in the right hand, wearing silver-white armor and a gorgeous crown on the head. It looked quite extraordinary.
Levi also became a little cautious, not only because the opponent's size showed that it was most likely the skeleton of a giant.
Moreover, the Skeleton is basically at the bottom of the Undead Clan, but in such an extremely important occasion, Arkhan sent it out, which shows that it must have something extraordinary!
In fact, this is true. Arkhan spent a considerable amount of money to cultivate it.
In addition to his extremely strong body, this Skeleton King also possesses the Terror Knight's signature critical strike ability, and by condensing the Netherfire all over his body, he can launch long-range attacks on the enemy.
The special nether fire can not only ignite the enemy, causing continuous damage and slowing effect to the enemy, but also has a very high probability of attacking the opponent's soul, making it dizzy for a short period of time.
Next is the enhanced attack against all kind creatures, as well as the ability to be reborn after death, which makes him envy.
Yes, every once in a while, it would automatically revive with full health and magic after death. This was an unexpected result of one of his experiments.
At the same time, he also specially equipped it with multiple pieces of equipment. The big sword in his hand has a blood-sucking effect, the armor provides attack speed and defense, the shield provides life limit and recovery effect, the crown improves all attributes and so on.
In addition, it is also a combat hero of level 18. Although he has not used it much before, he is confident that when it appears on the battlefield, it will definitely transform into a non-stop killing machine.
Even against the Sphinx, it has a very high winning rate.
It is certainly not agile, and even if he equipped it with special combat boots, it still cannot compare with professional thieves, but it is enough to play with the Sphinx.
Although it is not very smart, it has been trained by him for many years and is definitely not a fool. Especially in terms of combat intelligence, it is definitely far superior to the Sphinx.
Although Levi didn't understand the details yet, as soon as he saw Arkhan's confident look, he knew he had to use his ultimate move.
So he silently communicated with a certain celestial being in his heart.
Although after the last time, the other party said that he could only call for the other party to come when he encountered someone who blasphemed the Gaiding clan next time.
But if he could fight against the famous Arkhan indirectly, he probably wouldn't refuse, right?
Although they only operate in the main world, legendary figures like Arkhan also have a lot of fame in heaven, hell or the abyss.
Many beings are interested in his past evil deeds and his relationship with Nagash, and some are simply interested in his soul.
It's not just the undead who can manipulate souls, but also demons, devils and celestial beings.
A few seconds later, as the magic circle flickered, a figure appeared in it.
Levi showed a look of joy, but Akhan's heart sank, because he recognized the other party. He was a dragon-headed messenger, a celestial creature that was much stronger than most dragons!
Soslan, the dragon chief messenger who is at level 20 and only one step away from becoming a legend, nodded slightly to Levi, and then kept his eyes fixed on Arkhan.
In the end, he still couldn't resist such temptation. Even if it was just an indirect fight, he didn't want to miss this opportunity!
After sensing the other party's energy fluctuations, Akhan's mood became even worse.
Of course he knew that the Celestial Mystics had a good relationship with the celestial creatures, but no matter how good the relationship was, you summoned so many celestial creatures with such strong strength. Isn't that a bit too much?
The little female dragon on the other side was even more surprised. Of course, she would know such a powerful existence as the Dragon God.
But no matter what, the battle on the chessboard continues. The two sides go back and forth, constantly summoning new summons, and fierce battles continue to take place between the summons.
Although Arkhan tried his best to prevent Skeleton King from fighting with the Dragon Archangel, his chess skills were not very good. Seeing that the two were about to inevitably meet, Arkhan was suddenly delighted, and the dice was another 8!
He subconsciously wanted to summon his masterpiece - the Heavy Armored Corpse Dragon, but when he saw Levi, who seemed to be smiling, he became undecided.
He didn't take the opponent seriously at first, and then he became a slightly troublesome little trouble, but now, he has gradually begun to really pay attention to the opponent and regard him as an opponent.
Perhaps this elf's current strength is much inferior to his, but in time, he may become the first celestial mystic in history to step into legend.
After quickly scanning the chessboard, Akhan had an idea in his mind.
There are already several high-level celestial creatures on the field, and they are all very powerful. If you summon a ghost dragon or a corpse dragon, you will most likely be targeted by the opponent's angels.
If they fought head-on, he thought the corpse dragon would be stronger, but the angel was much more flexible, so the situation was still not optimistic.
So after thinking about it, he summoned out another of his favorite creations - the Immortal Corpse King.
That’s right, it’s also made from zombies, one of the lowest levels of the undead.
But it is different from ordinary zombies. It has very high intelligence and is almost the same as ordinary humans.
In addition to inheriting and developing the advantages of zombies such as thick skin and flesh, it is also agile like Skeleton King.
It also has multiple skills such as Decay, Soul Devour and Tombstone, especially they can cooperate with each other.
It can summon zombies almost infinitely through tombstones, and then absorb their power to strengthen or heal itself in a short period of time.
Coupled with its numerous equipment, after being strengthened, it can also rival the Sphinx, and with its healing ability, it can use a war of attrition to drag the opponent to death.
Or it can be released all at once to harm the enemy.
At the same time, it also possesses a special blasphemous energy that can cause additional damage to celestial creatures.
Therefore, even if the opponent summons a flying angel next, its chances of winning are very high, because even if the angel can heal or purify itself, its magic has a limit.
But the worst equipment on the Undying Corpse King is also epic-level equipment, and the magic value recovery speed is very fast, which can definitely kill the opponent.
More importantly, he had previously prepared a special equipment for it, specifically for dealing with flying units!
