Chapter 2874: Furious Beast

Xixiluo didn't give Rogesh a chance to catch his breath. Although he hadn't fully mastered the strength in his body, he was far from what he was before. Moreover, the enemy was already in front of him; in this strange place, fleeing outward was the most reckless choice.

Xixiluo stepped forward a few times and punched Chairman Rogesh, whose upper body was embedded in the wall, again.

Boom!

This wall was nearly punched through. If this weren't the Wang Gong, and it were some other place, it would have been completely shattered long ago.

After Xixiluo punched out, the anger in his heart didn't decrease at all. He grabbed Rogesh's leg, pulled him out from the wall, and threw him toward a stone pillar more than ten meters away.

Another boom sounded. Rogesh crashed and broke the stone pillar, falling to the ground with the gravel. His body was already somewhat twisted, yet he still stood up. This was because his strands of black long hair were piercing into his own body, using this method to control his body to move.

Xixiluo didn't stop for a moment. He rushed forward and punched again. Air waves spread, Rogesh was knocked to the ground, and cracks appeared on the ground. Xixiluo pounced on him, his bloodshot eyes looking like a furious beast.

Xixiluo was riding on Rogesh, and the right fist he raised seemed to have become metallic, revealing a dark golden luster.

"This is for... my sister Aini'er!"

Thud!

Xixiluo punched Rogesh on the head, flattening Rogesh's head somewhat. The ground under Rogesh caved in, and sprayed blood splashed out with his skull as the center, staining the ground red.

After punching out this blow, Xixiluo didn't feel good either; his right fist was covered in cracks.

"This is for... Bas!"

Xixiluo roared and smashed down his left fist. Before the masked man Bas died, Xixiluo had always thought that the other party was an enemy, but after witnessing the other party melt into a pile, Xixiluo discovered that this 'old rival' from the City of Smoke was actually one of his few friends.

"Die for me!"

Xixiluo's fists were clenched together, and he smashed down with all his strength. With a boom, flesh and broken bones splashed everywhere. After completing this strike, Xixiluo spat out a large mouthful of hot air carrying sparks.

"Die? If... I didn't die?"

A calm voice came. With a slap, a twisted arm pinched Xixiluo's neck.

"I want your strength."

A brilliant golden gemstone shattered within Chairman Rogesh's residual body. Xixiluo retreated at full speed, yet he was still shrouded within the golden brilliance.

In the golden light, a black hole the thickness of a finger appeared. Rogesh, whose body was nearly shattered, stood up from the ground. Several pieces of a mask appeared on his face, covering his right eye, most of his forehead, and his chin.

Rogesh didn't fully put on the Dark Mask because this mask had shattered once, but it hadn't been completely destroyed. Rogesh only put on one-third of the Dark Mask. What he needed to use at the current stage was the black hole on the mask. When he completed all his plans, that would be the time he fully repaired the mask and put it on.

A powerful suction force erupted from within the black hole. Xixiluo was pulled by this suction force until his body twisted, and he was sucked into the black hole bit by bit.

When Xixiluo disappeared, the injuries on Rogesh's body had completely recovered. Pieces of the Dark Mask appeared, covering his face. After the last piece of the mask was pieced together, a dark wave spread out.

Rogesh tilted his head slightly. He had succeeded, or rather, he was only one step away from success.

Rogesh stood still in place for a long time. Clearly, he was only one step away from success, yet he felt somewhat lonely.

"Congratulations, you succeeded."

A Sun Warrior walked over. Looking closely, one would find that there were many tentacles the thickness of hair clinging to the surface of this Sun Warrior's body.

"Priest, at this time, does it still have meaning for you to appear before my eyes?"

Rogesh's voice was flat. He didn't even need to perceive to know who the person coming was. This was a 'lamb' controlled by the Priest.

"Rogesh, what do you think I have been doing all along?"

The Sun Warrior controlled by the Priest transformed into the appearance of the Priest himself. He was smiling.

"I have actually been scouting meaninglessly in the Royal City all along. Thank you for helping me attract all of Bai Ye's attention."

"Bai Ye? At this point, what else can he do?"

Rogesh raised his hand and pressed it toward the mask on his face.

"What can he do?" The Priest pondered for a moment and continued: "I don't want to try the Magic Blade of the Law-Breaker. Take care of yourself, Rogesh."

After leaving these words, the Sun Warrior controlled by the Priest began to wither, and his life force was absorbed completely.

The Priest's goal was clearly not the Dark Mask. What this old guy was plotting was always unfathomable.

Rogesh, wearing the Dark Mask, walked toward the innermost side of the side hall. He had to hide now. If the Sun Warriors discovered that he had snatched the Immortal Xiwu's strength, then he would be the enemy of all Sun Warriors.

Not only that, Rogesh also needed to do another thing, which was to extract Xixiluo's consciousness from within the Dark Mask. Only in this way could he be considered to have completely completed his plan.

Inside the Wang Gong, Gallery.

Su Xiao had stopped here for more than ten minutes. The reason was that the Nightmare Prince on the opposite side had been muttering something all along.

The Gallery was not a place to force one's way through. It wasn't that one couldn't break through, but the price was too high, and there was no gain.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. Please rest assured, we have no hostility. After the 'Sun' was created, my mother and I didn't accept that power."

The Nightmare Prince pressed a mechanism on the wall. A stone platform rose from the ground in the center of the corridor. Looking at the layout on it, it should be a chessboard.

"This is Animal Chess, passed down from the Dark Age. After more than ten generations of evolution, the rules have gradually perfected. The rules are..."

The Nightmare Prince sat opposite the chessboard, narrating the rules of Animal Chess with a very magnetic voice.

"This is my hobby. If you are unwilling to stay here for long, the exit is over there. I am a wandering soul trapped in this place. Apart from being wealthy, I have nothing else."

"Goodbye."

Su Xiao walked toward the exit.

"Are you going to find Rogesh? It's already too late. Rogesh has snatched the power of immortality and the mask. He probably needs two days? Or perhaps longer, before he appears again. The treasures in the Gallery are useless to a dead person like me. If you win against me, those treasures will belong to you.

By the way, I can tell you where Rogesh is hiding. To me, there are no secrets in the King's Palace, provided that you can win against me."

The Nightmare Prince smiled. He was a collector, collecting everything: treasures, rare beasts, and even powerhouses. All the paintings in the Gallery were actually living people sealed inside.

"..."

Su Xiao sat on the wooden chair in front of the chessboard. This wooden chair was very comfortable to sit on, making his body, which had been rushing all the way, feel much more relaxed.

"What you are sitting on now is a treasure of the Romik Kingdom. It is said that it was made from dead Holy Oak. Having killed your way to the Royal City, you are already very tired. Rest for half a moment, and then we will begin."

The Nightmare Prince's voice was gentle, but don't think that he was being kind. This treasure of the Romik Kingdom could indeed restore stamina and relieve fatigue, but it would also make people subconsciously relax their vigilance. Once stimulated, they would also become impulsive.

"A chess game is a gamble. In every game of Animal Chess, both of us must take out our respective chips. As long as your chips and mine are equal, anything is fine."

"Mm."

Su Xiao was pressing on his palm. A micro-terminal was located in his palm.

"There is one more thing I forgot to tell you. As long as you participate in the chess game, it is impossible to leave until one side loses everything. This is the rule of the Gallery."

"Oh."

Su Xiao responded without raising his head and continued to adjust the terminal, inputting various commands. From just now, he had discovered that the exit of the Gallery was an extremely dangerous place.

Su Xiao hadn't played Animal Chess before. He only just learned what use the various chess pieces had, but this was not important.

First, the Nightmare Prince was very wealthy. Second, Su Xiao wanted to test before flipping the chessboard whether the intelligence of the wandering soul on the opposite side was higher, or whether the computing power of the T559-A terminal from the Void was stronger.

"Are you ready?"

The Nightmare Prince opened his mouth with a smile.

"..."

Su Xiao put the terminal into his bosom and rubbed his eyes with his thumb. In fact, he was placing a 'Nano-Imaging Film' on his eyeballs. This thing was very much like an ultra-thin contact lens.

Bubu Wang and Baja also rubbed their eyes. They were also ready. Three T559-A micro-terminals edited with different codes were activated.

"Let's begin."

The Nightmare Prince smiled even more gently. Clearly, he didn't know what he was about to face. ===== CHAPTER 2875 =====
