Chapter 431: Chapter 152: Hacky, Basic, Clever Hand, a Divine Wind Guides His Hand!_2

Ionia offers a Sprite Effect to the most powerful chess pieces, enhancing their attributes, and the higher the bond, the more chess pieces that receive the amplification.

Meanwhile, Shurima conducts an Ascension Ceremony for the mightiest chess piece, granting significant health and attack speed bonuses.

At this moment, Demacia is similarly focused on amplifying the strongest chess piece.

It designates the most powerful piece as an "Elite," each Elite providing adjacent pieces with dual resistance and receiving a random Brightsteel equipment each turn.

Brightsteel equipment can’t be acquired through normal crafting paths and is far stronger than regular equipment.

My opponent, having assembled five from Demacia, thus has two Elites on the field, Garen and Sona.

Each is equipped with a piece of Brightsteel equipment, and it seems both pieces of equipment are the same.

"Realistically, this guy shouldn’t be able to beat my six Mages, right? A little dual resistance and two pieces of Brightsteel equipment..."

"My magi burst so fiercely. Viktor even has a hat on; one combo should burst him..." Ke Jie was still analyzing the battlefield.

But the moment the battle started, he was speechless, staring blankly at the screen the entire time.

When suddenly two tornadoes formed beneath the feet of his own chess pieces.

Instantly, they whipped up into a small twister, lifting his Big Eye and Gemstone high into the sky.

"Wait a minute... why are my chess pieces flying away?" Ke Jie’s eyes were wide with astonishment.

One was his main damage dealer, the other his main tank.

He’d been counting on those two; the others were just for bond synergy.

And just like that, two were gone right at the start?

The enemy, with a 5 vs. 3 advantage due to the absence of Gemstone’s front line,

charged straight in.

Garen, wielding his Big Treasure Sword, hacked fiercely at the frail Clockwork, and after several strikes, began to spin around Clockwork like a top.

The Clockwork’s health plummeted rapidly, whining before bursting dead.

Ke Jie panicked, clicking wildly with the mouse on the screen.

"Hey! Can’t those in the sky attack?"

"Will you guys come down and fight already!"

"Isn’t this, like, cheating?"

"Why aren’t they coming down yet?"

"We’re going to lose!"

"Damn it!"

Amidst Ke Jie’s shouts, his formation was nearly washed clean by the enemy’s relentless onrush.

Towards the end, after his three other mages had fallen, Big Eye and Gemstone finally slowly descended.

Upon landing, they were immediately surrounded by five burly foes from the enemy side.

A flurry of punches and kicks, and they were done for.

Watching the enemy triumphantly return,

Ke Jie went to check the crafting section again, finally finding the effect of that piece of equipment.

Equipment: Spiritwind

Crafting Path: Cloak of endurance + Giant’s Belt

Effect: +25 Magic Resistance, +200 Health. At the start of the battle, the wearer summons a tornado opposite on the chessboard, banishing the nearest enemy at the tornado’s location for 5 seconds.

After reading the description, Ke Jie rubbed his stubble with one hand and fell silent for over a dozen seconds without speaking, his glasses reflecting a glimmer of bewilderment.

The background music from the playlist also switched to the second track at this moment.

Strong, powerful voices could be heard.

♪ Ye! Uh! ♪

♪ Bro, I’m here rapping for you ♪

♪ Smokin’ Round, E-cigarettes New ♪

♪ My Little Pony’s name is Pearl ♪

♪ Counterfeit cigarettes, just... ♪

The show’s effects exploded at this moment.

The comment section was quickly tumbling.

"Hahaha!"

"Can it even be played like this?"

"For real! What kind of play is this? Got me laughing till I’m weak!"

"The big brother on the other side is so talented!"

"Is there a chance that this was just a randomly generated piece of equipment and the opponent can’t replicate it a second time?"

"Damn, even randomly generated plays are this tricky? This game feels like it has a high ceiling!"

"Why has Jaguar gone silent? Does Spiritwind banish not just your chess pieces but you as well?"

After a long silence, Ke Jie took off his glasses and wiped them, then put them back on with a more resolute look in his eyes.

"Folks, I’ve got a new idea!"

"If I equip all the chess pieces on the board with Spiritwind, won’t the enemy be collectively sent to heaven?"

"When Spiritwind blows, someone gets banished. When someone is banished, there’s bound to be crying. When someone cries, I’m bound to win."

This meticulous train of thought caused the comments to flood the screen.

"?????"

"Genius!"

"Discharged from the hospital!"

"God’s Hand!"

"Are you sure?"

"Why do I feel like something’s off..."

"You young punks, don’t question the game understanding of Massage King, just watch and learn!"

When round 3-2 came, and the three Hexes were revealed,

Ke Jie’s eagle eyes immediately spotted a familiar Hex.

Pandora’s equipment!

The effect was that base equipment on the bench would randomly change each round.

He had seen it the previous round but chose Mage’s Heart instead.

This round, he needed exactly that.

Without a second thought, he made his choice.

The crafting path for Spiritwind required a cloak and a belt.

Ke Jie glanced at the bench, which had accumulated six or seven individual pieces after several rounds of resource gathering.

And since he wasn’t too familiar with the equipment system,

he’d only crafted a hat for Big Eye.

Now, there were just enough pieces in the equipment pile to make two Spiritwinds.

Without further ado, he crafted and equipped his chess pieces with them.

And in the 3-4 carousel, he strengthened his lineup with a 4-cost purple card—Lux!

Before round 3-5 began.
