Chapter 680 – #137_Turning Point (5)
#680
One.
Heaps of butts piled up on the ashtray.
The two stared at the board with bloodshot eyes without exchanging a word.
“Whoa….”
Siwoo took a deep breath without even realizing it.
Concentration and thinking consume large amounts of oxygen.
Before I knew it, the sweat dripping down my chin bothered me.
Knowing that if you go for an easy long game against Rosie, you won’t be able to reverse it.
Before the optimization of each other’s magic power source was over, they induced a three-beat fast melee.
Coincidentally, the large number of runes placed in the center worked as a good thing.
If runes of less importance had been placed, or if the number had been small, Rosie could have tried to finish the optimization by excluding the central control.
In other words, Rosie brought her into the fight at the right time, where she would inevitably lose money if she didn’t respond.
If this is the case, the engagement of Jung-gu heating will inevitably unfold, and the possibility of Rosie’s ‘mistake’ increases.
So if you ask if Rosie made a mistake, the answer is simple.
This crazy bitch is playing the game without slipping even once.
“…….”
Rosie silently made her next move.
In general board games, the number of choices and judgments decreases as the game progresses.
However, the organic nature of the location board, in which all ‘dots’ become ‘lines’ and the ‘lines’ created in this way, combine with runes to transform into magic, overturns such common sense.
It is a game in which the number of cases to be considered increases exponentially towards the middle.
Of course, Rosie had a defense against this.
In considering the number of cases, if you really have to consider each one up to dozens of numbers, it is impossible unless you bring a supercomputer.
Therefore, Rosie created his own calculation formula based on his long experience.
It is similar to card counting.
The counting used in many card games is not memorizing and counting all the cards.
Based on categorization and simplified diagrams, overlapping calculations are performed in batches and unnecessary calculations are eliminated.
Her optimized algorithm was like a magnetic magic that made the impossible possible.
It’s not like there’s a competition with billions of prize money, and if you’re equipped with such a foul on a location board that everyone thinks is just entertainment, it’s only natural to win….
Shin Si-woo is still not showing any gaps.
Even though the game is halfway there, there is no progress from the gap at the beginning.
I don’t know what tricks he’s playing, but it doesn’t matter.
He definitely knows what he’s after.
Shin Si-woo’s initiation was subtle.
It’s a strategy that seems to know in advance how Rosie moves.
It’s not just inciting melee.
Place numbers in places that are difficult to count each time.
In other words, it only digs into the space where there are no overlapping calculations, which cannot be omitted, and where the premise needs to be rewritten.
In other words, what he is aiming for now is not winning the game, but maintaining the status quo.
Meanwhile, he was waiting for Rosie to stumble, offloading an enormous calculation burden to Rosie.
If there is a breakup law.
If the game is focused on maintenance rather than combat without the need to fight back, the burden passed on to Rosie will be reduced.
However, they collide head-on.
The only opponent who can accept Rosie’s full strength is Shin Si-woo.
There was no thought of running away now.
Consciousness and thinking concentrated to the limit.
An unreasonable calculation that overworks the nerve bundles in the brain to the extremities.
And the result of a combination of the excitement of meeting an exciting opponent for the first time.
A warm feeling lingers on the tip of Rosie’s nose, and nosebleeds flow.
“Huh….”
Rosie licks her lips long with her tongue and licks them off.
Siwoo immerses himself in the game without noticing Rosie’s eccentricities.
Even in the middle of the middle.
Bondi is the phase that should have been the fiercest battle.
If two people were skilled enough, the fire of the abrasion had to embroider the battlefield, and a defense shield was deployed in preparation for it.
They would have to exchange airlift without a chance to catch their breath.
However, a confrontation unfolds between the first class and the first class.
The battle, which unfolded in close contact without a single drop of water leaking, lacked the apparent splendor.
If a third party were watching it, they would have yawned out of boredom.
So far, the two of them hadn’t even fired a single cannon, and were only focusing on preoccupying the rune.
However, it is clear that anyone who has the discernment to recognize the psychological warfare and calculation warfare that has reached the limit will watch this game with sweat on their hands.
The two were sublimating the game called the location board to a realm beyond play.
“…….”
“…….”
The eyes of the two who had not left the board so far collided in the air.
And at the same time you notice that the game has reached another phase.
-Widely!
Along with Siwoo’s move, the three secretly hidden magic batteries raise their heads in unison.
The target is Rosie’s magic source.
-Widely!
The paving stone Rosie had laid beforehand was connected, and the dispel pin cut the waist of the three sacks.
It does not stop there, but the spear of magical power that has received power shines at the tip.
-Widely!
This time, the dispel pin that flew from Siwoo’s cobblestone broke the spear and the trigger for external expansion shined.
A storm breaks out in the center of the board that had been quiet.
Dispel pins, which are usually difficult to see once in a game, crossed like a dense spear blade.
It’s not even your average dispel pin.
A move that interferes with the opponent’s move and acts as a separate trigger at the same time.
In this way, the collision of the dispel pins, which rained down like a combination, piled up the shattered remains of magic on the board.
If even one of the two makes a mistake, the situation where the victory is passed over and over again and again and again and again.
To compare this game to a war, it was as if the two had entered an all-out war before the material supply system was properly established.
Thanks to that, the mana accumulated in both mana sources is blown away at a terrifying speed.
However, I couldn’t stop.
From now on, the chicken race begins, where the first one to step out suffers a loss.
The tactics the two will adopt are forced into one.
‘Desperado’ to borrow the term of the location board.
It is a tactic that gives maximum loss to the opponent in a situation where the damage is confirmed.
A series of violent dispels The first one to run out of magical power is Shin Si-woo, who caused a mess first.
-Widely!
However, Siwoo had arranged this situation.
Destroys one magic source by itself.
In this way, a large amount of mana can be paid in advance.
It was a no-frills tactic.
The location board is a game where you protect your own magic source and destroy the opponent’s magic source.
In other words, magic power is a resource that should be valued more than anything else.
Furthermore, from the moment the magic source is destroyed, it is obvious that the frontal firepower is lower than that of the opponent.
But it doesn’t matter.
“…….”
Rosie, who was in a trance and repeating the number, stops it.
This is because she has gone through many, many games, and she is a technique she has never seen before.
Rosie was worried for a while, but as Siwoo expected, she also destroyed her magic source and used it as a temporary resource.
As I said before, Siu and Rosie put an excessive amount of energy into the center.
As long as the person who withdraws first has to see blood, he has no choice but to match Siwoo’s reckless investment.
The aftermath was the same.
The exchange of dispel pins without mistakes and the ensuing battle, and the remains of the magic formula piled up in the center.
Magical power gradually depleted again.
A location board with numerous options and cases entered the loop.
The magic power received through a single magic source has also run out.
Siwoo even unlocked the second magic source and turned it into magic.
Unlike before, Rosie releases her own magic source without a moment’s hesitation.
The reason is simple.
Intentionally or not, the loop settled.
In a fierce contest of strength, the one who gets out of the circular loop first loses.
In the meantime, it was Siwoo who exhausted and released the mana source first.
The person who will be able to use magic first must also be Siwoo.
However, there are only three magic power sources given to the location board.
There is no more magic power source left to release.
“I was waiting for you.”
That moment.
The remnants of the magic ceremony that were scattered in Siwoo’s camp shine all at once.
Remnants of the magic turret or shield that was neutralized by the dispel pin.
The tattered wreckage created a battery with just one move.
In fact, it’s hard to see it as a proper battery.
It’s just poor firepower that can barely break the magic source and a sloppy structure that will break after one shot.
If it was a normal battle, it would have been of no use whatsoever, just wasting action and mana.
In order for this battery to directly affect victory or defeat, the following premise is required.
There should be only one remaining magic power source.
Your opponent won’t be able to defend properly.
And there is only one remaining magic power source for Rosie.
Furthermore, the biggest gap has been revealed as he has just followed Siwoo to release the magic source.
All requirements have been met.
That was believed
If Rosie can read the entire board, she will definitely follow Siwoo to unlock the magic source.
That it would reduce the number of targets to be destroyed to just one.
This is the planking.
It is designed so that the opponent has no choice but to join the handshake, and after reducing the range of options, the game is overturned with one last move.
Rosie’s reaction to him….
“Yeah, I was waiting too.”
It was a smile that stretched from the corners of his mouth to the ends.
-Widely!
With Rosie’s response, the rubble piled up in front of her shakes.
A crude shield made from piles of scrap metal blocks the only remaining magic power source.
The arrangement that Siwoo secretly concealed while he was busy making the plan.
This, too, is too poor a shield to defend against normal abrasion.
At best, it would be at the level of a one-time shield that blocks the checker’s hemp.
That’s why I didn’t notice.
That’s why I couldn’t figure it out.
-Parts, parts, parts!
What ended the game, which was nothing short of delightful, was the clash between the crude horse cannon and the crude shield.
The canopy collapsed, and the shield shattered.
The last blow that got out of the loop went back to nothing, so all that was left was to get into the loop again and repeat it until all the mana of the magic source was exhausted.
Now there are no variables.
It was pointless to play more games.
Rosie maintained the slight gap created by the first attack advantage.
Siu could not narrow or cross that gap.
“Wow, that’s really fun. Ah, nosebleed nosebleed.”
Knowing that, Rosie was no longer looking at the location board.
Rosie took the handkerchief out of her arms and said ‘Pang!’ And blew the blood from her nose.
Rosie, sniffing her red nose, laughs at Siwoo, who is devastated by the shocking defeat.
“Now, what shall we ask for?”
It was time to settle the stakes that had not yet been decided due to being immersed in the game.
