Crack!
The chess piece landed.
At the void rift, strands of lines began to spread.
Vertical, 19 lines.
Horizontal, 19 lines.
361 intersection points emerged along the grid, and at the very center, a single white chess piece was already embedded there.
Precisely at the core of the void rift.
The swift-moving crowd looked up.
They saw that the previously expanding rift had actually stopped.
The white chess piece radiated a luminous brilliance.
Under its glow, the black void ceased to expand.
Moreover, it even began to contract bit by bit.
Though the speed didn't match the rapid expansion when the rift initially appeared, they could clearly discern that the fissure was shrinking.
"Tōru!"
At the forefront, Hanakaiin Haru curled his lips into a grin.
He knew it. Hanakaiin Tōru would never disappoint.
Not before.
Not now.
"That guy!"
Clad in Frost Armor and wielding a Frost Longsword, Hanakaiin Itsuki curled his lips in disdain.
