Chapter 2022 Checkmate
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
"Thank you." Leonardo smirked.All five monsters instantly realized that they had been tricked. Leonardo turned out to be planning to get away from them.
However, his direction was weird. Instead of moving toward the green line, Leonardo actually went straight to the red line as if he was planning to help the Saints fight the World Class Monsters.
He wasn't supposed to be there. Even if he tried to fight the Saints, he would be too powerless against them.
That was why the monsters thought Leonardo was suicidal.
Still, they received information about all the important people on the battlefield, including Leonardo.
As a War Saint, there was no way Leonardo would do something without any possibility of winning. In addition, Theodore Griffith was there. These two could easily come up with a trick that could overturn the situation.
Unlike Rea, the monsters didn't even think about breaking past Leonardo despite the opportunity. For them, Leonardo's action was far more dangerous than anything else.
Hence, the King Class Monsters chased after Leonardo without hesitation.
*Roar!*
*Roar!*
They let out a roar as if telling Leonardo to stop. But he didn't even bother to glance at them as if everything had gone according to his plan.
And yes, everything had truly gone according to the plan.
*Bam!*
*Bam!*
*Bam!*
A series of spikes continued to emerge in their direction. They wouldn't stop no matter what, alarming the King Class Monsters.
"!!!" All King Class Monsters turned around and saw the spikes. They finally understood the reason Leonardo went that way. He wasn't planning to assist Theo. Instead, he was baiting them so that they would be hit by the spikes.
However, the spikes were a bit too slow. With the distance and their reaction speed, the monsters could easily avoid them.
With confidence, all of them stopped for a moment, letting all these spikes pass them first.
But this was another mistake.
As soon as there was a wall between them, Leonardo changed his direction. Instead of going to the red line where the Saints were, he actually went to the east.
The monsters were confused at first, but when they chased after him, they saw Rea coming in their direction.
Everything suddenly clicked in their mind. It turned out Leonardo was planning to change position with Rea. Although they didn't know what they were planning to do, it was a big enough movement for them to feel alarmed. They knew these two must be plotting something big, so they had to prevent them.
Those King Class Monsters chased after Leonardo and Rea, trying to prevent it from happening.
Meanwhile, Rea and Leonardo had a smirk on their face when their gazes met each other.
'I have been waiting for you,' Leonardo said inwardly, feeling proud that Theo's disciple was this good. Even he thought Rea wouldn't be able to understand his intention, considering the clue was extremely vague. Still, her action completely showed her talent, allowing Leonardo to know the talent of Theo's disciple.
'Thank you for the lesson.' Rea smiled. She wouldn't have been able to understand Theo's words without him. So, she thanked him for giving her the opportunity.
Unfortunately for them, the King Class Monsters were going to catch up to them at any moment.
If they didn't do anything, they would only be surrounded by all these monsters.
It seemed that Rea was the first one to make her move.
Rea raised her sword and gathered the Magic Power in her sword. A dragon head gradually formed, ready to swallow the monsters behind Leonardo.
On the other hand, Leonardo didn't seem to be doing anything as if he didn't plan to help her.
However, the first one to realize what they were planning was a monster behind Rea. It might be due to his position that the monster could see something behind Leonardo and the five monsters.
He wanted to warn them, but when he let out a roar, the dragon also released its thunderous roar, overwhelming any sound near it.
*Roaaaaarrrrr!*
The King Class Monsters were startled, but since they were already so close to Leonardo, they took the last step and released all their strength, striking Leonardo.
All of them thought Leonardo would die after this combination attack. Unfortunately for them, they couldn't reach Leonardo.
A few sharp white lights suddenly flew past them and sharply cut their paws, hands, or feet.
"!!!" The five King Class Monsters widened their eyes because they only felt the Magic Power when it was already too late. And the next thing they realized, the attack had cut them.
They couldn't help but stop and turn around, finding Felix with his blade. It turned out Felix was using his invisible strike to sneak up on them. But they should have seen it coming if not for the dragon Rea released.
The dragon not only stopped the monster from informing the others, but it also caused a disruption in Magic Power awareness, allowing the attacks to reach their targets successfully.
Still, even though the five King Class Monsters were injured to this extent, they still didn't give up. The four King Class Monsters behind Rea also caught up to him since Leonardo or Felix didn't do anything to them.
They tried to take down Rea in order to equalize the situation once again.
But Rea suddenly dove down as if she was planning to escape.
The monsters obviously didn't plan to let her go. But to their surprise, Leonardo had disappeared from their vision.
At the same time, there was a surge of Magic Power coming from the ground.
When they lowered their heads to follow Rea's movement, they saw Leonardo standing on top of the sixteen chess pieces. It turned out Leonardo had summoned them this whole time. Instead of letting them in the air with him, he had been hiding them on the ground.
With their distance, there was no way they would have realized their movements, especially with all the distractions they had prepared for them.
This was Leonardo's plan. With this plan, he was planning to eliminate the King Class Monsters that Rea had fought before.
And Rea took the leeway to turn around while saying with a smug smile. "This is… checkmate."
Leonardo clapped his hands as he activated his power.
"Grand Chess."
