how to kill them as icho contemplated he
continued to Fan the Mist guiding it to
a distant scorpion figure the human
figure charged toward the Scorpion and
this time it survived the Scorpion
figure vanished and in the human's hand
appeared a dagger why ichio seemed to
grasp the situation however at that
moment the Lord of mist unexpectedly
summoned a giant serpent to encircle the
human Mist the human Mist struggled in
resistance but ultimately succumbed to
the Serpent's constriction witnessing
this the Lord of mist crafted another
human-shaped Mist while the Scorpion
reappeared I believe I Now understand
the rules since I can see the pieces and
the board it should be quite
straightforward it soon became apparent
that icho had celebrated his
understanding too early after several
days of effort he comprehended the rules
of this mis chess game
the gameplay was rather simple it
required players to maneuver this missed
figure into battle against the monsters
victories would yield equipment or
enhancements while defeats would reset
the game during this time with every
move icho made the Lord of mist would
also make a corresponding move however
this move did not merely signify a shift
it represented a battle as ichio
controlled his figure in combat the Lord
of mist would send a nearby monster to
attack him however it would only control
the nearest monster not some in distant
ones I in summary this was an
exceedingly unfair game it was akin to
yio initially battling weaker monsters
but those weaker monsters were typically
surrounded by stronger ones he rarely
survived beyond the third round however
the positions of these monsters Change
Daily thus there would always be some
instances of weaker monsters clustering
together this presented the sole
opportunity for a breakthrough yet ichio
found himself continually Fanning the M
figure to move it was UT utterly
exhausting the Lord of mist could
effortlessly manipulate the Mist moving
a monster within mere seconds while yio
needed half an hour to guide his figure
perhaps the Lord of mist grew weary of
the delay for it waved its hand striking
the treacherous wolf Lord's ring upon
io's hand I in an instant his ring
acquired a temporary ability he could
now borrow the Lord of mist power to
control the Mist above with this new
found ability ichio found it
considerably easier to maneuver the
pieces a the game progressed over the
course of half a month a ghostly General
had already been slain by players in the
third level ichio occasionally checked
online forums gradually losing his
impatience replaced instead by an
unusual calmness he raised his right
hand and the treacherous wolf Lord's
wrath erupted forth directly
manipulating a fully armed wied figure
to strike at the dragon with the wings
of a harpy the body of a two-headed
giant an Elven sword capable of piercing
dragon scales and the fire resistant
armor of a lizard man along with a
poison Dagger from a scorpion it was a
general indeed ASO declared this the
figure severed the dragon's head the
Lord of Mists eyes flickered with
Intrigue Splendid let us commence the
second round upon hearing this ichk
previously tranquil heart was suddenly
thrown into disarray there is a second
round are you done yet shouldn't you let
me go hearing ichk words the Lord of
mist leaned and closer I have never
prevented your departure why icho
Shrugged fine you're impressive I'm done
playing feel free to indulge yourself
I'm going to sleep ESO flopped down onto
the ground the Lord of Mists large eyes
dimmed let us negotiate a deal human
ichio still lying on the ground had no
desire to engage I shall allow you to
leave this place W ichio sprang to his
feet now that's something we can discuss
the Lord of mist continued I will send
