Chapter 638: Strike in! Big reversal!

On the competition field.

The duel between Natsume Chikage and Asahina Akatsuki continued.

Shogi pieces fell on the board one after another, making crisp, slight sounds.

Asahina Akatsuki only felt that her advantage was accumulating like a snowball, becoming thicker and thicker.

She had a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and her fingertips picked up a shogi piece.

Just when she made this offensive move that she was determined to win—

Natsume Chikage's hand suddenly paused in the air.

Then, with a clear and firm movement, he "struck in" a "piece in hand"—that "angle line" that had been eaten before and was lying quietly beside the shogi box—into a fatal position on the shogi board.

Strike in.

Shogi's unique rule: captured pieces can be used as one's own military force and return to any blank space on the battlefield.

Dead pieces resurrected.

The defensive side always hides a dagger that might be stabbed out.

Asahina Akatsuki's smile froze on her face instantly.

Her pupils contracted slightly, her gaze locked firmly on that abruptly appearing "angle line".

A slight tremor came from her fingertips.

On the shogi board, the situation changed suddenly.

That "angle line" was not a simple defense, but like a wedge, precisely nailed into the connection point of her seemingly iron-walled formation.

Natsume Chikage sacrificed a "gold general" that seemed important locally. ===== CHAPTER 639 =====
