Old Chess pointed out those positions on the chessboard’s phantom image.
"Master, what about the two of us?"
Exterminator Thirteen and Wolf Walk had no objections, but Little Jingle raised her hand.
"The two of you, stay by my side to protect ."
Old Chess waved his hand casually.
This mission was dangerous, and from the beginning, the apprentices were actually not included in his plan.
"That’s... fine."
Exterminator Thirteen glanced at Ree Shil, but didn’t say much.
Dealing with one Wooden Spirit was enough for her and Wolf Walk alone.
Thus, everyone began to act separately.
Strictly speaking, when Old Chess released the barrier, he had to be inside it. So, he indeed needed soone to protect him.
However, the barrier’s coverage was not for a large number of enemies, but only for a single Wooden Spirit, which would cause distractions.
As such, the presence of Ree Shil and Little Jingle was more for show, just to boost their experience.
At this ti, Old Chess had already closed his eyes and was ditating, conserving his energy to release the barrier later.
On his chessboard, there were only one black and one white piece, placed close together at the center of the board.
Little Jingle was a bit bored, so she looked over at Ree Shil.
"Hi, my na is Little Jingle."
"Ree Shil."
"Your dog looks so strange; it doesn’t have any fur on its body."
Little Jingle pointed at the Zombie Beast Hound.
"Oh, I’ve had it for many years, but it’s sick now."
That was also what he had explained to Exterminator Thirteen before.
"By the way, what’s your skill level? After the battle starts, should we sneak over there and check out their demon extermination situation?"
After glancing at her ntor behind her, Little Jingle approached Ree Shil.
"My skill level? Well, it’s not bad."
"But that’s not a good idea. It could be dangerous."
Ree Shil was not afraid for himself, but he was not sure if he could ensure her safety as well.
If the aftermath of the battle was too explosive, it would be troubleso if it affected the spectators.
"Worry about yourself."
Little Jingle understood the look in his eyes and puffed up her chest, saying, "Although I don’t have an artifact yet, I’m about to graduate."
"In terms of magic techniques, I’m not inferior to ordinary exorcists."
"And after I graduate and receive my own artifact, I’ll be a formal Senior Demon Exterminator."
Upon hearing this, Ree Shil imdiately beca interested.
"So, how can I get my own artifact and beco a formal exorcist?"
He wasn’t concerned about getting an artifact, but he was very interested in his ultimate mission goal.
"Huh? You don’t even know that?"
Little Jingle looked at him and began to explain, "To beco a Senior Demon Exterminator, you have to take it step by step."
"First, find a master and learn from them, then gain their approval and get a recomndation letter."
"With the recomndation letter, go to the Demon Removal Bureau in the nearest big city, pass their assessnt, and then get an artifact."
"That’s all."
Listening to her explanation, Ree Shil started to think.
He had just finished the first step and was still learning.
The next two levels were getting approval from his exorcist master and passing the exorcism residence assessnt.
He had over 70 to 80 days left, and he didn’t know if he could complete the task.
As he pondered, Little Jingle on the other side had already dismissed the idea of sneaking off to watch the battle together.
Because she thought that soone who didn’t even know the basic industry rules was probably not very skilled and would beco a burden to her.
In the following days, the two of them fell silent, and ti passed gradually.
After an unknown period, Ree Shil suddenly heard an extrely faint sound from behind him.
In this silent night, even a very soft sound was very clear.
He looked back, and the sound ca from the direction of Old Chess.
Specifically, the sound was from the two black and white pieces on his chessboard, which collided together.
At the sa ti he turned around, he saw Old Chess’s eyes open suddenly.
"Be careful, I’m going to start."
He said in a deep voice, notifying the two of them, then flicked the two black and white pieces with his fingers.
Ding! Ding!
With his right hand making a sword gesture, he quickly drew sothing on the empty chessboard.
To Ree Shil, the entire process only took about 3 seconds.
A Blue Light Array appeared above the chessboard and began to rotate continuously.
Hum!
Then, the entire space, including the night sky, began to vibrate, as a barrier composed of blue energy appeared out of thin air, covering a certain area.
(So this is the barrier of the exorcists.)
Ree Shil looked up.
They were at the edge of the interior of the barrier, and Old Chess was right in front of a blue light wall.
It extended upwards and curved.
About 30 seconds later, there was suddenly a loud explosion in the distance.
Boom!
A pillar of fire shot up into the sky.
"It’s starting."
If Ree Shil rembered correctly, this fla effect should have co from one of Exterminator Thirteen’s artifacts for dealing with Wooden Demonic Creatures.
"It’s a pity we don’t have anything to do."
Little Jingle found a couple of wicker chairs from sowhere and sat down with her hands on her head.
"As for head-on combat ability, those two are among the best in the Demon World."
"With their combined efforts, plus my master’s barrier restraint, the target will have a hard ti escaping."
"You’ve been standing for so long. Do you want to sit down?"
She pointed to the empty chair beside her and invited Ree Shil over.
"No, thanks."
Ree Shil waved his hand to decline.
During the day, Stone Master had kicked his butt, so it wasn’t comfortable for him to sit down for a while.
