Death… And Me Chapter 1806: Rigged

Chapter 1806: Rigged

Olly obviously didn't know that they were talking through Divine Senses. "This is called the Conqueror Board Game. If any of you are really as good as the Sect Master says, then you should have no problem in defeating me with it. That would also be a good way of proving to the others that you have what it takes to command all of us. How about it? Will you accept my challenge? I can explain the rules if you want. However, if you lose, you'll instead pass this leadership to me."
Leticia immediately warned Roan. "Don't accept it. Olly only brought this game out because he's extremely proficient with it. I told you before. He would probably be the worst enemy during the conquest of Walfure Region not only because of his strength but his mind."
"You said that? When?" Rean couldn't help but ask.
However, Olly immediately intervened. "What are you waiting for? I will definitely follow your orders if you refuse to play. But can you guarantee I'm doing my best? It doesn't matter if I'm more proficient in this game. The Sect Master said you guys are the best ones to command our Walfure Region during the regional wars, so prove it. Not knowing the game shouldn't be an excuse for someone who's supposed to be so much better than me and the others. As long as you do so, I won't complain anymore. No, I will personally take anyone who complains about your leadership and force them to do as you wish."
Luina sighed in response before patting Olly's shoulders, asking him, "Are you absolutely sure about this? Don't take it the wrong way, but I truly suggest you find some other method."
Rean laughed after hearing that. "Hahaha! Come on, Luina. Don't spoil the fun. Even if Olly has absolutely no chance of winning, you could at least let him dream a little bit."
Olly felt angrier as time passed. However, he controlled himself. "Hmph! Is that how you intend to scare me?" He wasn't the only one thinking that. Everyone who knew Olly a little knew that he was really strong at the game. "Naive! Hurry up and decide. Will you accept this challenge or not?" Olly didn't let it go in the end.
Rean looked back at Roan after that. "Who should go? You? Me? I think even Kentucky has a very high chance of winning here."
Kentucky's eyes lit up when he heard that. "Great! Let me try it!"
However, Roan shook his head, saying, "I hate wasting time, so I'll go." Following that, he extended his hand. "Give me the rules."
Olly immediately threw a jade slip at Roan. "All the rules are described inside. If you think I left something out, you can ask Leticia on your side. She played against me a few times, although she lost all of the matches."
Leticia sent her Divine Sense into the jade slip too. "Those are all of the rules. But I still think you shouldn't do it. Don't say I didn't warn you."
Roan scanned the rules and then closed his eyes for a few minutes. After that, he opened them again before looking at everyone behind Olly. "Let's save each other's time. All of you, join Olly and help him mount the strategies. I'll take all of you at once."
Rean's group found it quite funny. That's because they knew that Roan wasn't trying to provoke them. He was truly just trying to save time so that he could start talking about the things that really mattered in this war competition. Of course, Olly and the other Jamai Sect disciples didn't know that.
Of course, Olly refused. "Aren't you overconfident? However, there's no need for them to help me. In fact, they would only get in the way."
Roan shook his head, though. "That won't do. If I just defeat you, all of them will complain that they had nothing to do with this game. After that, they will continue to come up with ridiculous methods to force me to pass our leadership over."
Olly narrowed his eyes before looking back. "Who do you prefer as the leader of this alliance? This ant from a forgotten continent or me? Most of us might not see each other to the eye, but you should at least be able to tell which option is better."
Ramon immediately agreed, especially since he was already under the Oath to follow the orders of Luina's group. If he could be freed with this game, the Olly was definitely a good choice. "I agree. It's still better to follow you than these guys."
One by one, the disciples all agreed with that. Some had added a few conditions to Olly, which Olly accepted. But ultimately, they all agreed to not say anything else anymore if Rean's group won.
The Conqueror Board Game was indeed similar to the one played back in Sunkan Planet. However, it had its differences. For example, the board was twice as big, and each side had ten thousand pieces that could only move according to the rules of the terrain they were in. The impressive thing about this game was that it was made with inscription formations. Thanks to that, the field was generated randomly... or so it should be.
With that in mind, Sister Orb contacted Rean straight away. [Hey, Rean, perhaps it wasn't a good idea. The inscription of this game isn't anything advanced. I can tell that it's definitely rigged. The generated terrain and the position of the pieces will definitely give Olly a great advantage.]
'Oh?' Rean was surprised to hear that before looking at Roan. 'You heard the orb.'
Roan felt like he had heard a joke... it's just that he wasn't the type to laugh. 'So what?'
'Errr... nothing...'
[Sorry for interrupting you...]
Sure enough, Roan couldn't care less.
*Zush!*
Finally, the board's field appeared as well as each side's pieces. No one noticed it as it was very subtle, but the positioning of the pieces gave Olly the upper hand from the very start. Well, no one except Rean, Roan, and surprisingly Kentucky.
