Global Games: Old Chess Players

January 1, noon, Seoul, South Korea.

Seoul is located in the Han River Basin in the northwest of South Korea. It is the capital of South Korea, and it is also the political, economic, technological, educational and cultural center of South Korea, and one of the major financial cities in Asia.

Moreover, the city also has 34 famous universities such as Seoul National University, Kyung Hee University, Hanyang University, and Sungkyunkwan University, making it a veritable city of universities.

N Seoul Tower is an iconic attraction in Seoul.

This lonely tower stands tall and straight in the middle of the desolate city, exuding light in four colors of dark blue, white, golden, and orange, like soldiers of a subjugated country still holding high the banner of unwillingness.

Not only that, N Seoul Tower is also the place where Lorenzo and Anson Lu agreed to meet.

Because based on past experience, the Evolution Foundation has analyzed a rule - no matter how unsightly a city falls, its landmark buildings will still remain intact and will not be destroyed by monsters, but other attractions or buildings are hard to say up.

Cosimo just used the travel roll to get under the Seoul Tower. He opened his blue eyes, and what he saw was the 63 Building cut off from the middle, the ruined museum, the gray and black Gwanghwamun, the burning Gyeongbokgung Palace in flames.

"It's too exaggerated..." He gasped and shuddered.

Cosimo loaded the portable prosthetic body, and deployed a pair of mechanical floating wings behind his back.

"Oh!"

The metal openings of the mechanical wings ejected a strong airflow, driving Cosimo's figure to the sky, and the scarf around his neck fluttered and danced in the cold wind.

Cosimo rose to a height comparable to the clouds and swam westward. At such a height, he could have a panoramic view of everything.

Looking around, the many monuments in Seoul during the 600 years of the Joseon Dynasty, the palaces, temples and other buildings of the Joseon Dynasty were all destroyed by the monsters, and none of them were complete.

Those natural tourist attractions have not escaped the palm of the monster. Whether it is Bukhansan National Park, National Forest Park, or Hongneung Arboretum, they are all occupied by cruel fire and ashes, losing their burst of vitality.

It was clear that the sun was in the sky, but the world in Cosimo's sight was gray. Even if he was at a height of [-] meters, he could still hear the roar of monsters lingering in his ears.

The main culprit who destroyed Seoul like this is a creature called "Dark Rocker".

Every time these monsters pluck the guitar, the violent notes will form fires, hurricanes, and sea tides in front of them, completely destroying every inch of Seoul.

The day before yesterday, the Evolution Foundation had sent people over to conduct a field investigation to study the current situation in Seoul. Currently, the dungeon boss occupying Seoul is named—[Burst Drummer].

It was a huge porcupine nine meters tall and four meters wide. It had anthropomorphic limbs, and could hold a huge drumstick in its hands to beat the indestructible giant drum, releasing powerful notes.

In the fourth round of the dungeon, those players who chose to participate in the Seoul dungeon were all killed because they lost to the Explosive Drummer in the boss battle.

In the end, the failure of this dungeon brought the whole city and the citizens who watched the battle in different spaces to suffer together—nearly tens of millions of lives were buried under the violent and disorderly notes of the monsters.

The place where the burst drummers are entrenched is the historic Gyeongbokgung Palace in South Korea, which is the main palace of the last unified dynasty in the history of the Korean peninsula, the Joseon Dynasty.

It is located at No. 161, Saji Road, Jongno District, Seoul, South Korea. Because it is located in the north of the city, it is also called "North Palace". It is the first of the five major palaces in Seoul and the political center of the early Joseon Dynasty.

Cosimo swallowed, he frowned, and looked at the battered Gyeongbokgung Palace.

As if aware of the enemy's arrival, surrounded by layers of city walls, the huge porcupine named "Burst Drummer" raised its head and let out an awe-inspiring roar that could shake Seoul.

Gyeongbokgung Palace, which was already on the verge of collapse, trembled unstoppably under this roar, as if even the remnant body of the palace was about to collapse and be shattered into dust that only existed in history.

"It's really big, but it's still a bit inferior to the statue of Wanqi." Cosimo murmured.

Except for the head, the whole body of this porcupine is covered with sharp burrs. This structure is comparable to that of a hedgehog.

Its expression is as solemn as a majestic human being.

The body movements are like a proud ring master, waiting for the challenger in the center of the ring named 'Gyeongbokgung Palace' - the porcupine hugs his shoulders tightly, and holds a huge drumstick in his left and right palms.

At this time, the porcupine was looking up, with its dark nose pointing at the sky, and it was staring at Cosimo, who was floating in the sky like a fly in the distance, with its pair of shining scarlet pupils.

In an instant, a bleak and murderous atmosphere swept over, the sun seemed to dim a little more, the world was shrouded in a layer of brutal shadow, the monsters gritted their teeth and roared violently.

The corners of Cosimo's eyes twitched wildly. He shivered and cursed as he fell from the sky of Seoul and returned to the square below the N Seoul Tower.

In just one minute, more than 1 members of the law enforcement team gathered here—they came from all over the world, and under the strict official requirements, few people would be absent.

Almost none of the players at the top of the world's combat power rankings is absent-after all, it would be fine if other cities fell, and there is no need to send so many people, but this is the capital of South Korea, and its importance is self-evident.

Although... the citizens of Seoul have died long ago, and both modern buildings and historical sites have been destroyed horribly.

However, this place is the capital of South Korea after all - a city that condenses the essence of a country's bright civilization for hundreds of years.

The monsters in the fourth round of the dungeon are indeed extremely strong, especially the boss's combat power is seriously beyond the standard.

The risk is great. If the colonial monster is allowed to continue to wreak havoc and leave this city alone, as the official trade union with the world's most authoritative law enforcement team, they will definitely be condemned and beaten by people all over the world. scold.

Whether it is due to international obligations, moral spurs, or concern for the humanistic spirit, they must recover the city from the hands of colonial monsters and give a definite explanation to the Korean people who are in pain and mourning.

Cosimo landed and looked around.

He quickly captured Lorenzo's superior figure——Lorenzo's height of nearly 1.9 meters, his rigid and stylish face, and his calm and majestic aura are like the bright moon hanging high among the stars. can be identified.

The problem, though, was that Cosimo hadn't been able to find Anson the Deer, nor any members of Hell's Beacon from the player base.

You know, 10 minutes have passed since the time Anson Deer and Cosimo agreed upon.

At this moment, the presence of the player was detected, and dark rock musicians swept towards N Seoul Tower from all directions.

Even these ordinary monsters are aware of the player's presence, let alone the Explosive Drummer who is in Gyeongbokgung Palace.

The Boss of the fallen city will not wait for the player's challenge in a palace or a specific place like the Boss in the instance.

After they occupy the city, they will become a violent colonial king - if anyone dares to invade its land, it will expel these people with terrifying force, or grind them to pieces.

At this time, the burst drummer had already carried two giant drums on his back, and walked with heavy steps.

Its huge feet stepped on the ground, and the burrs on its body pierced through the glass windows of the skyscrapers, making a burst of earthquake-like madness,
The whole city fell into a violent rhythm, accompanied by the violent drummer's pace, bursting fountains, collapsed tall buildings, and the leading monster musician roared to the sky, as if he was directing this grand symphony.

Cosimo walked quickly towards Lorenzo and asked in a low voice:

"No way, Captain, hasn't An Senlu come yet?"

In private, Cosimo generally calls Lorenzo "brother" affectionately - but on such serious occasions, even if he is Lorenzo's younger brother, he must strictly abide by the rules and call him "brother". team leader".

Moreover, if it was on other occasions, Cosimo's questioning method would not be so civilized. He would just say, "Damn it, that idiot hasn't come yet. Damn it, the number one in the world can put on airs, right?"

"I don't know." Lorenzo looked around and said calmly, "If he doesn't come today, the plan still doesn't need to be changed. We can solve it ourselves."

"Okay then." Cosimo shrugged his shoulders, feeling strangely boring.

Gu Qiu approached the two of them, pulled up the sleeves of his sweater, and said in an emotionless voice: "Come closer, if its speed remains the same, in a maximum of 10 minutes, the boss will approach the Seoul Tower."

While the two were talking, dark rock musicians had flocked to N Seoul Tower in overwhelming numbers.

They frantically plucked the guitar strings, and the violent notes formed a fiery curtain of flames, violently bombarding the more than forty members of the law enforcement team.

"Ten minutes is enough to clean up the surrounding monsters first." Lorenzo said lightly.

As the words fell, golden emotional characters spread out from his body surface, wrapping around his body like a ring.

"Oh!"

In the next moment, the circle of faith pulled the air, dragged Lorenzo's figure, and swept it towards the sky. The white uniform coat of the law enforcement team was hunting and dancing in the air.

In an instant, a huge black clock appeared in front of Lorenzo's body. He lightly shook his right arm, shaking out the crazy clock, the huge clock broke the air, and blasted towards the flame curtain with unstoppable force.

"boom!"

Thousands of emotional characters poured out from the surface of the black clock, like a surging sea tide, engulfing the flames in an instant, and then extinguishing even an inch of flame.

At this time, there were already five more data streams beside Gu Qiu, and he released the data streams without hesitation. These five gray data streams flipped in the air, shooting towards the west block like black birds.

"Boom-!!!"

In the next second, all vehicles and buildings were swept into it by the berserk gray burst, destroying them so much that not even ashes remained.

The group of dark rock musicians coming from the other side were all wiped out by the data stream explosion triggered by Gu Qiu.

Cosimo was not idle either. He transformed into a heavy-duty prosthetic body, covered with layers of metal mechanical parts, and turned into a steel giant in just two seconds and shot out.

Each of its heavy punches is as powerful as a cannonball, enough to blow countless heads of dark rock musicians away.

These musicians used the energy attack formed by the notes, whether it was wind, fire, or water, they couldn't do anything to Cosimo's mechanical armor at all, and only added some inconspicuous cracks to the prosthetic body he was carrying.

"Ahhhh-!!!"

The musicians roared and plucked their guitars more and more furiously.

Explosive flames swept out from the guitar strings again, and in a blink of an eye, the entire Seoul Tower Square had turned into a sea of ​​flames. More than forty members of the law enforcement team showed their skills in this sea of ​​flames. There is no fear on this face, they kill these monster musicians, it is as simple as cutting cabbage with a kitchen knife, leaving no room for the opponent to breathe at all.

The most dazzling one is the [Abyss Dancer] from Russia—Avril Lavigne.

She danced a swan dance in the center of the square, the dance was so ghostly, like a black rose flying in the air, each petal fell to the surroundings of the square, and then formed a burst of dark notes, the notes were like a The unstoppable sharp blade tore the bodies of those musicians until there was not even dross left.

[Second-level abyss dancer's sequence skill three - black rose dance steps (the abyss dancer dances a swan dance, the dance steps will spread out roses, and the roses will then emit wonderful energy notes, destroying the opponent's mind and body invisibly) 】

Not only that, Shindai Ruri from Japan was also quite eye-catching among the members of the law enforcement team. She swayed the tachi, and thousands of cherry blossom petals passed through the sea of ​​flames and scattered towards the group of monster musicians.

In the next second, she had withdrawn the knife.

"Pfft!!!" The blood flew upside down into the sky like a rain curtain.

Hundreds of musicians suddenly fell down with a "crash--" and countless invisible cracks appeared on their bodies, as if thousands of crocodiles had bitten their bodies.

Among the more than forty people, the one with the weirdest tricks is undoubtedly the [Ember Circus] from England—Vino.

Vino adjusted his glasses, and a huge carriage suddenly appeared beside him. The carriage was dragging a spacious carriage, which contained a miniature version of a circus stage.

In this grotesque circus stage, a flamboyant clown dances countless blades in his hands; another clown swallows a mouthful of oil and picks up a lighter.

"Whoosh!!!"

"Boom-!!!"

The pitch-black carriage shuttled among the musicians, thousands of blades flew out from the carriage, and pierced each musician's head with precision. Immediately, a fiery curtain of heat swept from the carriage, and the All food on the way is burnt to powder.

[Sequence Skill [-] of Tier [-] Ember Circus - Opening Scene (The Ember Circus has started to perform, but this is just an opening scene)]

At this moment, the violent tremors from the other side of Seoul are getting closer and closer, and the burst drummer is about to come to the Seoul Tower to declare the sovereignty of this land to these foreign invaders.

Lorenzo didn't worry about the members of the law enforcement team at all. Based on his knowledge of these members, among the forty members, none of them could die at the hands of these miscellaneous fish.

The Boss of the Seoul dungeon, the Burst Drummer, is the highlight of this battle.

It is easy to defeat it, but it is extremely difficult to ensure that there are no casualties.

Lorenzo raised his eyes and looked at the Burst Drummer who was walking towards him.

This huge porcupine looked extremely furious, the huge palm holding the drumstick faintly twitched, and the bulging muscles on the arm seemed to be filled with unstoppable rage.

At this moment, a dark red phantom of a pirate ship suddenly appeared above the sky. This shadow was so huge that it almost occupied half of the sky in Seoul.

"Pirate ship?" Lorenzo frowned.

The huge sails were hunting and dancing in the winter sky, attracting the attention of all members of the law enforcement team.

The next moment, the phantom pirate ship aimed all the turrets and barrels at the burst drummer, as if there was a stalwart captain commanding behind him, and all fired.

"Oh!"

Intensive firepower poured down from the sky like a torrential rain, and countless shells fell on the burst drummer in unison, bombarding the drummer's head, causing a deafening bang.

In Seoul, it was as if there had been an earthquake.

All the tall buildings are shaking violently, the sound of violent artillery fire is about to drown the world, and the explosion drummer protects his head with drumsticks, lowering his head and roaring crazily.

"Roar--!!!"

Five seconds passed before the burst of artillery fire stopped completely.

Instead, the red dragon with its wings spread out appeared in the sight of everyone in the law enforcement team. It waved its awe-inspiring wings, made a loud noise through the sky, and shot from the other side of the sky.

Surrounding the red dragon were violent crows, and on its back stood a girl with snow-white hair, a young man with a giant sword, and a man with a black right arm.

"Yo-!!!"

Not only that, from the other side of the sky, two reindeer stepped on the thunder, dragged a sled and flew towards the Seoul Tower, staying in mid-air.

A handsome boy in a school uniform was standing on top of the sled.

The boy in the school uniform looked down at the law enforcement team below, moved his brown eyes expressionlessly, as if looking for someone, and finally his eyes rested on Lorenzo.

"Sorry, I found the wrong place." The boy said in a flat voice, as if he was greeting an old friend.

"It's fine if you come, you plan to be absent." Lorenzo stared at him and said blankly, "It will be resolved within 3 minutes, and then you can do whatever you like."

"Three minutes is too long, Brother Pope." An Senlu turned his cheek and looked at the completely enraged Burst Drummer, "One minute is enough, and I will lose if I add one second."

"Oh, this guy is really here." Cosimo glared at Ansen Lu, and said unhappily, "Ansen Lu, you bastard, don't you draft drafts?"

"Stop talking nonsense, that guy is here." An Senlu put his hands in his pockets, his dark brown eyes were full of murderous intent, "Dimensional kangaroo, let Captain Longfan out.

At the same time, the future blue bird, come to me. "
