115 <<Strategist\'s Domain>>

Seeing that the bishop was no longer pinned to the king, Allen moved his rook to a7. Carrion responded by moving his king yet again as he moved his king to the d6 square.

"Are you sure of that move? It\'s a mistake according to my calculations. You left your pawn hanging. Even if it was defended by your bishop, that\'s only a fake defense."

Hearing Allen\'s comment, Carrion could only sigh. He knew that he had no hope of winning the endgame. He could only aim for a draw.

Proving Carrion that his move was a mistake, Allen moved his bishop to f7 to take the pawn on f7. Of course, Carrion could retaliate by moving his bishop to f7 to take Allen\'s bishop but Allen would take Carrion\'s bishop using his rook so it was a trade that was in Allen\'s favor.

That was why Allen had commented that Carrion\'s move was a mistake since if Allen traded pieces with Carrion, it wouldn\'t be an equal trade for Carrion as the trade would allow Allen to be a pawn up.

Carrion knew that but he couldn\'t find any other move that wouldn\'t lead to a blunder. He knew that he was only prolonging his suffering since the start of the game, Allen was always at the lead and he knew that it was because Allen played flexibly at the opening.

If it was the average chess Grandmaster, they would have already resigned but Carrion wasn\'t the average chess Grandmaster. He was playing chess not for the win but for fun. And besides, the purpose of him going against Allen in a chess match was to only show his <Supreme Strategist> talent.

It didn\'t require him to win against Allen so as long as he played formidably against Allen, it wouldn\'t matter if he won or not. What mattered was that he didn\'t commit any blunders or else he wouldn\'t deserve his <Supreme Strategist> talent.

With that thought in mind, Carrion decided to use his trump card specifically his <Supreme> skill.

"<<Strategist\'s Domain>>!"

With the combination of his <Supreme General>\'s <<Battle Plan>> skill and <Supreme Strategist>\'s <<Strategy Simulation>>, Carrion used his <<Strategist\'s Domain>> skill.

Such skill overlapped with Arthur\'s <<Creative World>> skill and since it was a combination of two <Supreme> skills, it defeated Arthur\'s <<Creative World>> skill.

Because of that, the chess realm was starting to change into what Carrion had envisioned as his domain.

As for Arthur, he could care less since he didn\'t really care whether Carrion changed the realm he had created since it\'s not like he couldn\'t fix it when his classmates had exited his <<Creative World>>. In fact, he could fix it in an instant as long as Carrion stopped using his <<Strategist\'s Domain>> skill.

When Carrion had used the <<Strategist\'s Domain>> skill, the scenery changed into that of the whole chessboard that Allen and Carrion were playing at.

Allen and Carrion\'s chessboard became the world that they were in as their classmate was currently spectating at the side since they were unaffected by Carrion\'s skill since Carrion didn\'t include them in his skill and only Allen and Arthur\'s <<Creative World>>.

"Well... this is quite interesting."

Allen muttered as he noticed that he was on a floor that was the chessboard that he and Carrion had played at. And that\'s not all as he was currently sitting on a throne with white royal attire and a golden crown adorned on his head.

His current location on the chessboard floor was f2 and it was the location of his king piece. Not only that, but he also noticed that Carrion was sitting on a black throne with black royal attire and a silver crown as his head accessory.

Like Allen, Carrion was also placed where his king piece was before and it was at the d6 square.

The two of them weren\'t the only ones who had been affected by Carrion\'s <<Strategist\'s Domain>> as their pieces were also affected.

The knights had transformed into an adult man who was dressed in a knight\'s attire while riding on a horse that was black for Carrion\'s knight, and the other adult man was riding on a white horse for Allen\'s knight. Both of those adult men were wearing heavy armory that covered their entire bodies that were likely made out of iron judging from their armor\'s appearance.

The bishops had transformed into an old man who was dressed in a church priest\'s attire as the two of them were holding a holy book that was black and white respectively.

The bishop who held a black colored holy book while wearing black church priest\'s attire was the black bishop while the other bishop who was the complete opposite of the black bishop was the white bishop.

The pawns transformed into foot soldiers. Those foot soldiers wore less armor than the knights and their armor was made of leather material as it looked to be from a processed skin of an unknown monster. They wore that armor on top of their clothes that was colored to be black for the black army and white for the white army.

Since Carrion only had one pawn, there was only a foot soldier that wore black-colored clothes and leather armor while there were 4 foot soldiers that wore white-colored clothes that were coupled with leather armor.

The rooks were just a tower of a castle and the black castle tower was the black rook while the white castle tower was the white rook.

It was still a mystery as to why a rook was called a rook instead of a castle or tower despite a rook not being a rook (crow).

Since this wasn\'t a historical novel but a fantasy novel, the author must have not bothered to further explain the history of chess so the narrator decided to just continue with his narration.

Since they couldn\'t move the chess pieces anymore when it was still in their miniature forms, Allen and Carrion had already known how to move the pieces.

And that was to command their army! They were the kings of their respective armies so it was without a doubt that their army would listen to their command.

"Rook to c2!"

Carrion yelled as he commanded his rook to move to c2.
