Chapter 349
As Adela and Angela entered the cave, a spectacular sight unfolded before their eyes.
Square plate.
Two camps facing each other.
The moment Angela saw the eight ice soldiers and the six adventurers standing behind them, she felt a familiar feeling of déjà vu.
“This… … “Chessboard?”
Anyone could tell by looking at the soldiers standing at regular intervals according to the specifications of the square box. It looked like a giant chessboard made of ice.
How long did I wait?
The white owl that was waiting for the two at the king’s seat on the chessboard changed its appearance into a white-haired boy with the sound of a food duck.
“The path of the wisest. Welcome to the Sun Road. My name is Snow Stolas. “Please feel free to call me Snow.”
Snow bowed his head and greeted her politely like a gentleman, then looked at Adella and called her name in a friendly manner as if she knew him. Adela frowned at her, but Snow didn’t pay her mind.
“… … “You have no idea how desperately Luis was looking for Adella.”
With such a meaningful story, Snow raised his head. In the end, Adela couldn’t bear it anymore and took a step closer without realizing it.
“Lewis… … me?”
Adela’s appearance radiates a frightening force as if she is about to attack at any moment. In the end, Angela caught Adela, who was excited, and stopped her.
“First of all, calm down for now!”
Angela tried to calm down the excited Adela. She thought that even with a cool-headed mind, she couldn’t hastily approach a difficult strategy, but that was the correct answer in a different way.
“you’re right. This is the path of the sun that shades the wise. “If you try to use physical force on me in combat, you are breaking the rules.”
Widely!
Snow spread her two white wings in human form. At the same time, the ice giant statue that decorated the wall pointed its spear at Adela and Angela.
“Keep in mind. Anyone who breaks the rules of the Sun’s Path will die at the hand of the Judge. “That is the rule of this space and an absolute law that no one can avoid.”
Snow wore a crown enshrined on a pillar of ice. The crown with the sun engraved on it gave off a bright light when it was placed on Snow’s head.
Clang!
As Snow wore the crown, soldiers made of ice pointed their weapons at the opposing camp.
“The path of the sun is a place where wisdom is tested. To be fair, I’ve chosen a game that you’re probably familiar with. How much trouble it took to learn the human game… … .”
As Snow, who was standing in the king’s seat, sighed and complained, Angela shouted, waving her hands in the air.
“It’s fair!? “I’ve never played anything like chess!”
Snow shook her head and smiled strangely, as if she knew something.
“That doesn’t matter. There doesn’t have to be two kings in chess, right?”
Snow pointed at Adella with the tip of his chin. Then, in a relaxed voice, as if he had been watching her for a long time, he recited about Adela’s childhood.
“Adela can take charge of the king. They were very caring parents. “When he was young, he played chess with Adela.”
Snow looked longingly into space, muttered, and traced her lips with her tongue.
“Ah, my mouth is watering. I can’t even remember… … He was such a delicious person. “Luis was truly satisfied.”
Snow’s provocation was successful.
Adela took a deep breath to calm her excitement, but her red eyes with dilated pupils were radiating more murder than ever.
“… … I’ll do it. chess.”
Angela sighed in worry at the sight of Adela like that.
‘I wonder if I can play chess in that condition.’
Chess is a cold-hearted game. It was a fight where you had to calm down your excitement and fight rationally.
However, with her hands shaking with anger, Adela looked far from rational.
“great. There will be a wand and a crown right in front of the entrance. The crown is the king who commands the game. The wand is the queen, one of the most important chess pieces. “After the distribution is over, please take a seat immediately.”
Adela took a deep breath and placed the crown on her head. As the sun symbol engraved on the crown began to shine, the soldiers aimed their swords at the opposing camp.
“Then I am the queen.”
Angela, holding a wand, looked at Adella wearing a crown. What on earth should she say? The current Adela seemed to have a hard time finding her cool no matter what she said.
“Do not forget it. You and I have come for a better world. “Don’t let go of something precious you hold because of something you lost.”
As she said those words, Angela held her cane tightly in Quinn’s seat. From now on, she had no choice but to trust Adela.
Kuung-!
The scaffolding sank and the game began. A chessboard made of ice has the alphabet engraved from A to H on the horizontal columns, and numbers from 1 to 8 on the vertical columns.
“Then I will attack first.”
Snow gave the command with a wide smile on his face, wondering what was so fun about it.
“I will move the phone right in front of me to E4.”
Clink- Clang- Clang-
At Snow’s command, the ice soldier moved two spaces forward. Adela, who was watching the scene, chanted in a quiet voice.
“… … Move the pawn in D7 two spaces to D5.”
Adela knew. Chess was a strategic battle where you had to decide what to give up and what to win.
It was a game where a greedy coward who tried to achieve something without any sacrifice would end up losing everything.
“ha ha ha! Adela is a more heartless person than she appears. “Did you throw Quinn’s phone as food to break her shackles?”
Snow burst into laughter, delighted with Adela’s strategy of sacrificing her pawn.
“great! I guess I’ll have to trick you here! “I will capture the pawn on D5 with the pawn on E4!”
Snow’s ice soldier raised his sword and struck the body of an enemy soldier diagonally.
Coo!
Snow was overjoyed as Adella’s ice soldiers shattered and scattered to the floor.
“That’s fun! great! “Nothing can be achieved without sacrifice!”
But no matter how much Snow talked, Adela’s concentration did not waver.
“Attack pawn D5 with queen.”
Angela smiled with satisfaction when she saw Adela like that.
‘Was my worry unfounded?’
Angela shook off her worries and sprinted away, immediately hugging her phone. She then used her acceleration to slam her ice soldier’s head into the ground with a suplex.

Quang!
“I will move the knight in B1 to C3!”
“Move queen from D5 to A5.”
“I will move the phone from B1 to B4!”
“… … Attack B4’s pawn with the queen on A5.”
This time, Adela won the score. Adela, who regained her senses, continued to play her game in his calm judgment.
Exchange and exchange.
A battle that repeats itself over and over again.
But even Angela, who didn’t know much about chess, could tell that there was an atmosphere of victory in their camp.
Adela’s skill in occupying an advantageous position through active exchange of chess pieces was outstanding.
‘If we keep going like this, we can really win.’
Adela, who was not satisfied even though she was already two horses ahead, moved her horse.
“Move the knight from C3 to B5.”
“Oh, no way, Adela. Are you targeting Bishop?”
However, even in a situation where he lost the bishop due to Adella’s attack, which narrowed the siege, Snow acted very leisurely.
“It’s a shame. This collection… … Louis was very fond of it… … .”
Adella paid no attention to Snow’s actions or words. She already knew that the other person was trying to lose her cool.
“… … “This must be a familiar face to you, Adela, right?”
However, the moment Bishop took off the veil she was wearing, Adela let out the breath she had been holding.
“Well, what it looks like… … .”
The face of the ice statue, hidden by a veil, was a face that was very familiar to Adela and that she missed so much.
“Yes, that’s right. This is Adela’s mother. Then, who is the bishop on the other side? … “You probably already know that, right?”
A frozen statue.
Is there a worse way to provoke an opponent by using someone who was his or her parent as a chess piece?
“You say it’s fair game and you do such dirty things!”
When Angela, unable to bear it any longer, shouted in anger, Snow shook her shoulders as if she were puzzled.
“The game is fair. The rule is to use 16 chess pieces to capture the opponent’s king. “I didn’t break any of the rules of the game.”
Snow’s eyes sparkled, and unlike before, when she was relaxed, she spoke at a rapid pace.
“What does it matter which chess pieces you use? Haven’t we made it this far by sacrificing our chess pieces? Nothing has changed. “These are all the same chess pieces, and abandoned chess pieces just break.”
Adela made eye contact for a long time with the ice statue, which had a very nostalgic face. Her face, which was smiling at her, was expressionless and lifeless, and her hands that were holding her teddy bear were holding a sword.
‘I am… … .’
Adela made a decision and tried to open her mouth. Although she was so tormented, Adela was not a fool to give up her future because of her lost past.
but.
“… … By any chance, Adela. Those aren’t my parents. It’s just ice. “Is this what you are thinking?”
Tilting his head like an owl, Snow moved his head strangely and peered through Adella with his enlarged four-white eyes.
“The path of the sun is the path to find the wisest… … . The option of destroying an ice statue to achieve victory that is just around the corner can be made by anyone, even if they are not wise. “Aren’t those easy options fun?”
There was no way Lewis, who used human emotions of pain and misfortune as raw material, would give such a trivial option.
What Lewis wanted was not the clear best, but the lesser evil that he had no choice but to choose in the midst of heartbreaking pain and despair.
“… … Those who are frozen by Louis’ coldness have ego. Even now, your ego is trapped in the ice, watching you.”
Snow Stolas.
His eyes, with the true name of the devil, turned red. Snow felt supremely happy seeing Adela in despair.
Grinning-
“Adela… … Are you suffering? I can tell. “I have never experienced such sweet despair.”
This is such despair and misery that even the devil would cry. Snow was satisfied, his body quivering.
On the other hand, Adela, frozen like an ice statue, just looked at her parents in silence.
