I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

"Can you breathe fire?"

"....ha?"

Chapter 39 Gift Competition: Destiny

The next day, the outer gate of Box Garden 2105380, in front of the Fountain Square on Peribed Avenue.

Cheng Rang, Izayoi, Asuka, Yao, Black Rabbit and Ren were passing through here heading to Fresgaro Guild's territory.

"Ah, he was yesterday's customer! Are you on your way to a duel now?" When everyone walked to the outdoor cafe where they stayed yesterday, the clerk talked to them enthusiastically.

"Yes." Cheng Rang nodded.

The cat-eared lady receptionist came forward and bowed to Cheng Rang and others: "The boss asked me to cheer for you. Our guild has had enough of them! Please teach them a lesson so that they can never do evil again." !”

"That's what I planned from the beginning." Cheng Rang replied confidently to the cat lady.

"That's great~" She showed a bright smile, and then lowered her voice and said, "Actually, I have new first-hand news to tell you. It is said that the people of Fresgallo are not planning to stay in the territory. The stage area was used for competition and the residential area was chosen instead.”

"Residential area?"

Black Rabbit explained to several people: "Each outer gate has a huge number of areas, including free areas for commercial and entertainment facilities. Residential areas for living, farming and raising, etc., and the stage area is specially designated for holding gift competitions. Area."

"Like Bai Yaksha?" Cheng Rang raised his eyebrows.

"There are very few people who can prepare a game field in another dimension. Most of the stage areas are just specially designated lands within the territory owned by the guild!" Black Rabbit waved his hand.

The cat lady receptionist continued: "In addition, everyone in Fresgaro's guild has left there."

"Everyone?" Cheng Rang asked.

"Yes, no one will be left except Gard."

"Then this is a bit strange. Logically speaking, it is understandable that most of the members left. After all, they have heard the news... But shouldn't Gard's confidants stand with him? It's more or less a betrayal. Isn’t it a guild that relies on the Demon King?”

This unfounded withdrawal behavior seemed to have abandoned Gard and left him to fend for himself. Could it be that he planned to surrender directly?

"Really!? I don't know what the competition will be, but please be more careful."

After accepting the clerk's enthusiastic cheers, the group said goodbye briefly and continued walking towards the Fresgallo residential area.

.......

Not long after, Black Rabbit stood up on tiptoes and pointed to the four-story building in the center of the residential area not far from the end of the road: "Ah, everyone, you can see it, it's over there!"

The flag of Fresgallo was hanging high on the spire and fluttering in the wind. The entire residential area was eerily quiet, without any breath of life at all.

"There is indeed no one left."

"Cheng Rang, here is the completed contract document." Feiniao came to the doorpost, found a lonely piece of parchment stuck on it, and said to Cheng Rang.

Several people came over and Cheng Rang took off the parchment, which recorded the content of this competition.

[Gift Competition Name: Destiny]

List of participants: Cheng Rang

Winning conditions: March to the top floor of the organizer's headquarters and eliminate Gard Gaspar.

How to win: Roll the dice to get the number of advancement points. According to the landing grid, you will get temporary designated weapons and designated gifts. Except for designated weapons and gifts, according to the "contract", no other method can harm Gard Gaspar.

Loss conditions: Surrender, or the contestant fails to meet the above victory conditions

Designated weapons and designated gifts are only valid within this competition area.

This game can be watched and supervised.

Taking the oath to abide by the above rules, under the honor and flag, "NoName" participates in the gift competition-"Fres Gallo" Seal

"This... is completely a death game based on luck!" Ren and Black Rabbit, who had read the rules together, covered their heads in agony as if screaming.

Yao couldn't help but become worried and asked: "Is this game so dangerous?"

"The words and rules of the game itself are full of traps, so it can be said to be very dangerous." Black Rabbit pointed to the winning method on the parchment and explained, "Here, throwing the dice to advance should mean that Cheng Rang can rely on This is the way to go to the top floor, but the following sentence about getting weapons and gifts according to the landing grid does not.

There is a name. In other words, there is a high possibility that every time Cheng Rang sets foot, while he obtains gifts and weapons, Gard will also gain benefits. "

Cheng Rang raised his chin and then said after the black rabbit: "According to the contract, my own 'gifts' and 'weapons' cannot harm that guy Garde..."

Humph, interesting. You think you can't defeat me head-on, so you have already started playing these tricks?

"Garder did not use the gift, but relied on the 'contract' to protect himself, which made it impossible for even a god-level power to attack him! He overcame your power by adding his own life to the victory conditions. "Black Rabbit frowned.

"It seems that there is still a lot of space for the games in your little garden. It is indeed quite interesting." Izayoi looked relaxed, as if he was not worried at all about the game Cheng Rang was going to play this time.

Black Rabbit shouted anxiously: "Stop using such a relaxed tone, Izayoi-kun! According to these conditions, it will be very difficult for Cheng Rang to win, because the gift he received did not even mention whether it will definitely have a positive effect. It may not be effective, and it may even hinder his progress! This is too passive!"

"Then this doesn't count as a foul on them, aren't you the referee?" Izayoi shrugged.

"Black Rabbit will supervise the whole game as a referee and will never let them foul!" Black Rabbit clenched his fists with enthusiasm, but then his ears softened weakly, "But unfortunately, the judgment of the Hakoba Center, Such rules are not within the scope of violation for the time being.”

"It's useless to say more. Anyway, now that the game contract has been established, we will never allow defeat in this game, and we have no right to give up. Your low morale cannot improve my winning rate by even 1%. Why don't we all be happy, old man? Just watch my performance!" Cheng Rang waved his arms, slapped the contract document on the closed door in front of him, and said with a confident smile, "After all, there is nothing like luck...except for that Damn, I haven’t lost to anyone yet.”

The parchment turned into purple flames and suddenly dissipated on the door. Then the tightly closed thick door panels began to slowly push open to both sides. The structure of the door, which was completely shrouded in black and red fog, could not be seen clearly. Cheng Rang said nothing. He stepped in resolutely.

"Come on! Beat that guy Garde until he falls into pieces!" Jiuyuan Feiniao gestured with his hands in front of his mouth and tried his best to shout for the figure who entered the fog gate.

"Come on! Cheng Rang." "Don't die, it will be so embarrassing."

"Come on..." "Good Luck."

Black Rabbit, Izayoi, Jin and Kasukabe Yoshi also cheered for Cheng Rang who was attending the first battle on behalf of NoName. Although the words he shouted out were all unique...

After crossing the fog gate, Cheng Rang could no longer hear the voices of his friends outside cheering him on. The air around him solidified and turned cold in an instant, as if he had entered a completely different world. There was dead silence all around.

The heavy door re-closed with a bang, and the game officially started. The people waiting outside also looked at the black rabbit who frowned and closed his eyes.

"The game begins!"

Black Rabbit's ears twitched, she opened her crimson eyes and waved her hand gently, and a large translucent screen appeared in front of everyone.

This is the right to broadcast the event as a referee. Of course, this is only an ability that can be shared with surrounding partners when it is clearly stipulated in the contract that supervision can be carried out.

Chapter 40: The trapped beast still fights

But when the game screen was displayed on the screen, everyone was surprised, including Cheng Rang who entered the gate.

A giant man with yellow hair in a tight tuxedo was standing up from the sofa not far away in the hall facing the door - it was Garde Gaspar!

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Lord Sword God." Gard had a ferocious smile on his face, as if he was looking forward to the gambling game that had already begun. "Thanks to you, I have lost everything, and now I even have to bet on myself. It’s really unpleasant to take my own life to play a game of fate’s favor with you!”

"I see, the name of the game, Destiny...is that what it means?" Cheng Rang ignored Galde's threatening complaints and just said slowly: "It seems that you are very confident in your luck? "

"Even if there is only a 10% chance of victory, it is still much better than asking for death, isn't it?"

Rumble...

As Gard's words fell, the floor beneath the two men suddenly changed. Amidst the sound of rocks rubbing together, starting from their feet, a whole row of luminous grids appeared, going up the stairs and pointing directly to the last room on the top floor of the headquarters. One gold and one gold. Two silver dice appeared in the hands of Gard and Cheng Rang respectively.

"Before I start throwing, I need to explain to you the complete rules of this game. Listen carefully." Garde's voice came clearly from the screen in front of Black Rabbit and his group.

[Gift Game: Destiny]

Game rules: Starting from their respective "starting point grids", both participating parties take turns throwing silver dice to gain advancement points. Each dice point corresponds to one opportunity to advance. There are up to two rounds of throwing opportunities at a time, that is: the first round of silver dice is thrown. '6

' point, you can get a chance to throw the golden dice, but when the golden dice rolls '2' or '24', you need to move back 12 spaces.

The total number of squares traveled to the end of the top floor: 108 squares.

The golden dice is a 12-sided die, with the lowest number being ‘2’ and the highest number being ‘24’.

The silver dice is a 6-sided die, with the lowest point being '1' and the highest point being '6'

Before reaching the top floor, all activities of both parties will be limited to the current grid. Until one party reaches the end of the top floor, the party that reaches the end will be able to gain free movement rights, and at the same time, the right to use the gifts and weapons obtained in the previous grid will be opened.

End of rule description.

Cheng Rang played with two small dice in his hands, looked down at the words marked "Starting Point Grid" under his feet, raised his foot and kicked the invisible barriers that had risen around him at some point - they were extremely solid.

The game has officially begun, and both Cheng Rang and Garde are trapped in this game that has to keep moving forward.

"You are really cowardly, trying to win by locking up both parties and playing the game honestly? It seems like this, as long as you reach the end first and get the right to move freely and escape, I won't be able to meet the victory conditions. Right." Cheng Rang commented as he looked at Gard who was not far away.

"Who will run away...hehehehe..."

Gard lowered his head and laughed a few times, then threw the silver dice in his hand and shouted: "You must know that the barriers around the grid can only restrict you from leaving, but cannot block my attacks from outside! As long as I can get ahead of you reach destination....."

The silver dice spun in mid-air and slowly stopped.

"Then I will go back and use various weapons and terrible gifts to tear you into a pulp in the small cell where you are imprisoned!!"

Points – ‘4’

The four squares in front of Gard lit up. He slowly moved to the fourth square and shouted to Cheng Rang with a roar full of hatred: "With the ridicule from the goddess of fate, pray...human beings! "

Ren, who was watching the battle on the sidelines, showed a worried look: "What, what can we do?! In this game of Gard, if he is really allowed to reach the end first and gain freedom, Cheng, who cannot use any gifts and weapons, will be left on the map grid. Within the limit, he will become a living target for Gard, and if he cannot even dodge, he will definitely be tortured to death!"

Black Rabbit stared at the screen in front of him with a gloomy face, and said: "But the rules of this game are equal opportunities for both parties... It is a completely fair game, and the dice in the hands of both parties are also passed through. It was approved by the Hakoba Central Committee without any manipulation. We can only pray that Cheng Rang can win the final victory."

"After Gard reaches the end, he can choose to escape or return to deal with Cheng Rang, but Cheng Rang must also eliminate Gard when he reaches the end to win the game... Have you ever thought about such a situation?" Ten Izaya held his chin, staring at Garde's face on the screen very intently.

"What?" Everyone asked, attracted by Izayoi.

Cheng Rang in the game field still didn't throw the dice, but Gard's head was already covered with fine beads of sweat at this time, and his ferocious eyes were fixed on the calm man like a trapped animal about to go crazy. Black-haired figure.

"What would happen if Garde kills himself after Cheng Rang reaches the finish line?"

"!!!"

Everyone was suddenly awakened by Izayoi's words, and Black Rabbit, whose back was soaked with cold sweat for a moment, trembled and said: "According to the judgment of the center of Hakoba...Cheng Rang will be - because he cannot complete the victory conditions. Defeated!"

"Then isn't this a game that can't be won at all?! This game of fate that Garder risked his life to play has such a serious flaw that he has no intention of surviving in the end?!" Asuka yelled He held Black Rabbit's wrist and asked.

"What a madman!"

"No, Garde does not simply want to die, but will play this game of leaving his life to fate with the will to die. He probably also considered suicide, but gave up in the end." Ten Liuye said with a smile as if to appease everyone, "Because if he just wanted Cheng Rang to lose this game, he would not throw the first throw, but kill himself directly."

"I think Galde is also holding back the breath in his heart, and is working hard towards the goal of tearing that guy Cheng Rang apart with his own hands..."

Even if Galdegaspar did all the evil deeds, as the leader of the Demon King's guild "Fres Gallo", he would have a dignity that could not be trampled upon by others, and chose to risk his own life to gain a position that he could not defeat head-on. The enemy has the opportunity to wield his weapon.

At least in this regard, Gard Gaspar was somewhat of a courageous man.

Cheng Rang felt the fiery sight of Gard not far away, burning with fighting spirit like a beast. He raised his hand and threw the silver dice into the air. He raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "Nice look, Gard! If you really If you reach the end point before me, then I will not make any resistance when I am killed by you. But on the contrary... after I reach the end point, I will not give you any chance to kill yourself."

Seeing that Cheng Rang had also noticed this loophole in the game, Garde said angrily: "Wait until you win before you say this! As Fres

Leader of Gallo, I can accept the ending of being killed by the victor, but to end this path myself, huh... don't say those words that only belong to the weak and make people laugh! "

The silver dice thrown by Cheng Rang rotated in mid-air and slowly stopped. Under Garder's gaze, four squares also lit up in front of him.

Opening his arms to support both ends of the invisible barrier, Cheng Rang looked interested, raised his chin slightly towards Gard and said, "Okay! Very energetic!"

"Then, let's enjoy this gifted game in which life and death are completely left to fate!"

I love playing games the most!

Chapter 41 Come and hit me if you can

As the grid in front lit up, Cheng Rang left the starting point and entered the fourth grid.

[Cheng Rang: The number of remaining cells is 104]

[Galder Gaspar: 104 remaining cells]

This grid is blank, and it seems that there are no props to obtain. The rounds rotate, and Gard rolls the dice.

The silver dice was thrown up in the air by Gard, and after a period of irregular rotation, it slowly stopped at 6 o'clock.

"It seems that luck favored me first!" Gard, who rolled 6 points in the second round and got a chance to throw the golden dice, grinned.

But Cheng Rang disagreed: "This is just the beginning. Whoever runs out of luck first will leave first."

"Hmph... I hope you can still be so arrogant after always lagging behind!" Gard snorted coldly and threw the golden dice without hesitation.

The rotating dice was accompanied by a sound effect similar to the ding ding ding in a lottery, and the points slowly stayed above '8'.

"No, Cheng Rang is already fourteen squares behind from the beginning, and the gap may get bigger and bigger in the future!" Ren looked at the fourteen squares that were already lit up in front of Gard with a worried look on his face.

"What's the hurry? If Cheng Rang also throws six points, he has a chance to catch up." Izayoi said with a smile, "Unfortunately, that guy Garde's golden dice didn't roll 2 or 24, otherwise he would have been eliminated directly. Bar."

"So, even if you throw the golden dice, there is a chance that your previous efforts will be in vain. It is considered that danger and opportunity coexist. It all depends on the number of points in this round." Although Jiuyuan Asuka's tone was calm, he lowered his hands on both sides of his skirt. But they are already holding each other tightly.
