Chapter 860: Ater's Game Plan

In chess, there are pieces that exist on the board.

To Ater, his Undead followed a similar concept: he had a Knight, a Rook, and a Bishop.

These were his Knight, Archer, and Mage respectively.

He could use them in a myriad of ways—though limited, based on their specialty. He already had a game plan in his head, and he also knew of the board he would be playing on.

His only challenge… was the opponent.

When playing chess, both sides had equal and identical pieces, with the only thing separating them being skill. However, this game that Ater was involved in greatly differed from the strategic one that offered balance above all else.

There was no such thing as balance here.

Fairness was a foreign concept.

His opponent was neither a Knight, Rook, nor Bishop.

She was a Queen.

No… perhaps even more powerful than one.
