Regina was holding on to the string of consciousness with all her might, facing the table in front of her.
f*ck!
When she put down the go stone, a clear echo spread out.
The prisoners around him whispered at the sight.
“What time is it?”
“Seven hours. It must have already been more than 700 hours, if only the experience time of seonsul baduk is taken into account.”
“It is a monster.”
Regina decided to obtain consent from all the tribes in the Dragon Palace for the return of the lunar eclipse.
Accordingly, the condition set by the dragons, the heads of each tribe, is Seonsul Baduk.
“You mean you’re holding on to that with your own strength, even though you don’t know anything about seonjutsu?”
“No matter how much a master knight is, he is just a strong knight except for his sword. But is that possible… … .”
The Go board of Seonsul Baduk was made up of lines.
Each time a stone is placed on the table, various effects are applied to the knights.
The effect of this method varies greatly depending on the order and location of the go balls.
If you knew the stance, you could use it to attack your opponent or avoid the effects applied to you.
However, Regina has no knowledge of trance.
I was receiving all the one-sided attacks with my body.
“Again, you made a move that only harmed you. It’s impossible to win just like that.”
The beastmen fight while calculating the changes in the battle due to the game of Go at the same time.
On the other hand, Regina just lays the go game and endures.
For the most part, Regina’s number served as a handshake.
It’s because an opponent who is familiar with Seonsul Go intentionally drove her to self-destruction.
In the end, Regina only suffered one-sidedly, except for occasional, accidental attacks.
In that way, he could only hold out until an accidental attack knocked out the opponent.
However, Regina waited for her opponent to fall first with amazing tenacity.
“A state where he is already in a state where he is not even aware of his aura, and even a tremendous phantasmagoria is being applied every moment. Even so, they are holding out for more than 700 hours in terms of perceived time… … ?”
Of course, Regina, who was suffering from all of that, wasn’t fine either.
“Huh, huh… … .”
Sweat pours down like rain.
All five senses are already paralyzed, suffering from phantom pain, or running out of control.
She relied purely on her intuition to place the go ball in the proper position over and over again.
‘The opponent hasn’t collapsed yet… … .’
The opponent sitting across from Regina was also exhausted after hours of Go.
A beginner’s charge that a master like them could easily take over.
But Regina’s stamina accomplished even that.
It’s Regina’s turn to come back again.
f*ck!
“Cuck!”
At the same time as the landing, the changed formation attacked the opponent.
It was an insignificant attack compared to what Regina received, but the opponent collapsed without enduring it.
“With this, is it my victory… … ?”
During hundreds of hours of experience, I defeated my opponent several times.
I couldn’t count how many people had passed, but I had a vague sense that it was coming to an end.
“no. I am still there.”
Regina, who was completely lost due to the opponent’s fighting, could see Woojangwang sitting across from her.
The giant king Woojang delicately arranged the board with his big fingertips.
“How do you feel about playing Seonsul Baduk?”
“They said they didn’t know that an ax handle would rot while playing Go. I understand roughly what you mean.”
“The only thing that increases is the perceived time, so the ax handle doesn’t actually rot.”
It does not actually cause pain to the body.
If it hurts, I could give up at any time.
If you just give up, you will return to a normal body.
However, Regina’s body, which had been forced to push, was actually in a state of exhaustion.
Confused by the method, he gave strength to his muscles, moved his aura, and actually consumed his physical strength.
“When I go back, I’ll have to put the Seonsul Go curriculum in Night Ray.”
Regina jokingly tried to give her time to recover, but King Woojang did not give her time to do so.
“Obviously, the condition was to beat us all. I’m the last one, so let’s get started right away.”
Holding the black stone, he immediately landed on the center of the checkerboard, Cheonwon.
“By the way, I am stronger than all the others you defeated combined.”
“Anyway, among the people I dealt with today, no one was weaker than me.”
Regina did not lose and laid her stone.
If you think about it anyway, you couldn’t play better than those who have been playing Seonsul Baduk all their lives.
If so, we have no choice but to proceed quickly to relieve the burden as much as possible.
In the beginning, the pavement moved quickly.
‘For me, I’d just appreciate it if the other person let it go quickly.’
However, King Woojang, who said he was the strongest, was not a lie, and soon after, Regina was cornered.
“Keugh!”
“Pause. Originally, there is no such thing as going all the way to the end of Seonsul Baduk. I usually surrender before the strain on my body.”
“I can still hold out… … !”
Normally, I don’t risk my life like that in Go.
King Woojang also suggested that the hero, Regina, surrender because it was hard to see her suffering, but she had no intention of doing so.
“Then it would be for you to finish it as quickly as possible.”
From there, King Woojang’s endless offensive continued.
eventually after a while.
Seruk!
After experiencing all kinds of pain for a total of more than 800 hours of experience, Regina collapsed unconscious.
The moment her body is about to hit the floor.
bang!
Noah jumped in from outside and took Regina’s body.
“What is this like?”
“Are you Noah? I’m sorry, but this is what she wanted.”
Noah was able to fully guess that King Woojang’s words were not lies.
If they had tried to force Regina by force, it would have taken Regina less than a minute to slay all the dragons here by herself.
“She first suggested Seonsul Go, and we accepted. It was a match agreed upon by both sides.”
Noah stared at the checkerboard for a moment without saying anything.
“Then, why don’t you try that match again with me?”
“Will you give me another chance in a game that has already ended?”
“If anything, you can take over that phase and proceed.”
Saying that, Noah pointed to the checkerboard that Regina and King Woojang had been playing.
The game of Go didn’t end because Regina ran out of stamina.
However, it was a hopeless situation that was virtually impossible to reverse due to King Woojang’s one-sided offensive.
“… … Do you think you can take over and win?”
“of course.”
King Woojang, who has been playing Seonju Baduk for well over a hundred years, was provoked by Noah, who had never played Seonju Baduk at the age of less than twenty.
If Noah were an ordinary person, he would have snorted and refused, but King Woojang had already heard from Regina that Noah was Enya’s son.
Also claims that he is the rightful owner of the lunar eclipse.
“I’ll have to teach the young knight some manners.”
“Hanbyeol-ah, take care of Regina-nim for a while.”
Noah covered Regina with his knight coat and entrusted her to Hanbyeol.
Naturally, I had no intention of losing.
* * *
From noble mtl dot com.
“… … The rules are here. Do you understand?”
nod!
Noah, who was new to seonsul baduk, first heard an explanation of the rules.
Of course, it was important to read the flow of the aura and the number of Go in Seonsul Baduk, but it was not a particularly important process because the rules themselves were not special.
‘Instead, during that time, I was able to check the phenomena occurring on the checkerboard.’
The number of baduk is close to infinite for humans.
It is a game where the effect of the table setting that changes accordingly is infinite.
It could be said that it is absolutely impossible for a beginner to beat a master in Seonsul Baduk.
Even more so, this is to continue the game of Go that Regina was playing.
It was not that each other started in the same state, but rather, Noah, a beginner, had to start in a disadvantageous state.
‘But it’s not like there’s no chance.’
When it comes to baduk, Noah also had good skills in his own way because he was dealing with his grandfather.
Of course, that alone was not enough to defeat a master stronger than himself in an unfavorable situation.
‘Instead, this isn’t just baduk, it’s seonsul baduk.’
There are so many variables that it can’t even be compared to general Go.
It was a game that was so difficult that even an expert could not read all the variables.
That means you can reverse it as long as you can read the variables deeper than your opponent.
He surpasses King Ujang, who has been playing Seonsul Baduk for more than 100 years, by count reading.
‘Read all the phenomena that happen on the checkerboard to the end!’
“Then take a seat.”
The moment I sat down, my mind flew to a distant place.
“Ugh!”
During the match, many of the effects that were being applied to Regina were transferred to Noah, and she was lost for a moment.
“It was my turn.”
f*ck!
King Woojang didn’t look at it and made a move right away.
“It’s good to wait until you get used to it. But keep in mind that there is a time limit for making moves.”
At first glance, the attack seemed lethal, saying that Noah would not even be given time to adapt.
However, as long as it was an attack established under the rules, this was not a foul.
King Woojang also intends to deal with Noah sincerely.
While the time limit passed, Noah’s consciousness was flying farther and farther.
‘Keuuugh!’
The effect was enough to exhaust Master Knight, Regina.
Of course, in her case, the current effect dealt a decisive blow to the accumulated fatigue.
Thanks to that, Noah was able to hold on somehow, but it seemed like he would lose consciousness if he let his guard down.
‘Clean up your mind! I need to find out what effect it is having on my body first!’
Noah checked the effects applied to him one by one.
A total of 81 effects were identified after a long time.
After confirming his identity, he was able to respond to abnormal conditions to some extent.
So Noah, who came to his senses, escaped the world of consciousness and opened his eyes to reality.
Taang!
“Hoo?”
When Noah put down his stone with an exciting sound, King Woojang’s eyes lit up.
“What is the time limit?”
“Not over yet.”
“Then let’s start in earnest.”
Noah’s eyes blazed and began to analyze the flow on the board.
‘With one move, I blocked 4 effects and applied 1 attack.’
It was possible because there were so many parts that were being attacked.
The battle situation was so unfavorable that the opponent’s one-sided attack with more than 30 moves was guaranteed.
‘A lot of stones have already been laid. One move, one move will create multiple effects.’
Read all possibilities.
Unfavorable moves that do not need to be considered in Baduk may be different in Seonsul Baduk.
It didn’t matter what number it was, as long as it could be advantageous in the end.
Jiing!
My tinnitus started to come out due to excessive concentration.
Noah plunged headlong into reading.
Meanwhile, King Ujang was shocked to see Noah like that.
‘Those eyes… … .’
An aura was rippling in the black pupil.
He had seen those eyes before.
‘Is it a demonic eye!’
Being the son of the savior means that Noah also inherited the blood of the royal family.
In the extreme concentration situation, Noah’s eyes slowly began to turn light purple.
