Rubik’s Cube of Heavens

Chapter 120: Cheating

The third stage was a Wizards Chess' hall. The entire floor of the hall was arranged into a chessboard. On the chessboard, there were huge human-shaped stone pieces.

After the three entered the room, the brazier on both sides of the floor and the wall automatically lit up, illuminating the entire room.

After seeing the scene in the room, George thought for a while and figured out how to clear this level, but he was scratching his head.

After exchanging a glance with Fred, George turned to Coven and asked, "Coven, how is your skill in chess?"

"Are you not good?" Coven was a little surprised.

In his memory, the test in front of him was broken by Ron alone in the future, and as Ron's brothers, Coven thought that their chess skills should be good.

Hearing Coven's question, George and Fred shrugged helplessly. Then Fred explained, "We only maintained our interest in wizard's chess for a short time, so we didn't concentrate on improving the chess skills."

George added, "Ron and Percy often play chess at home, so their skills are better."

Hearing this, Coven could only accept the work. "If that's the case, let me try."

After saying that, Coven briefly observed the chessboard, but then he was stunned because he found that his own pieces were missing two pieces compared to the other side.

Obviously, this was specially arranged to increase the difficulty of passing.

This situation made Coven a little embarrassed because he only understood the basic rules of wizard chess.

Although he was confident that his computing power could make him better than the twins' chess skills, he did not have much confidence in his own chess skills now that two pieces were missing.

However, after pondering for a moment, Coven thought of an idea and immediately arranged for the twins to stand on the two missing pieces.

Then, Coven opened the chessboard and directed a chess piece on his side,?pawn?, to move forward.

The next moment, a ?pawn?on the opposite side automatically left the array and came to the side of the chess piece that Coven had sent out. With a bang, the weapon in his hand suddenly waved and destroyed Coven's chess piece.

After the chess pieces shattered, the flying stones scattered everywhere. Coven and the twins hurriedly dodged.

When the room quieted again, Fred looked at the scene in front of him and could not help but say, "Coven, are you sure? This time, we will lose three chess pieces compared to the other side."

"I will try." Coven did not give a guarantee. Then, he reminded, "You better set up the obstacle Curse' in front of you. Don't get hurt by the flying stone."

The twins gladly listened to the suggestion and waved their wands to set up defenses.

Coven stared at the destroyed chess piece on his side and thought for a moment. Then, he raised his wand and pointed at it. A ray of Restoring Spell shot out.

After the tip of the wand flashed, the destroyed chess piece suddenly seemed to turn back time. The scattered gravel in the room returned and gathered again.

Soon, the chess piece became complete again.

However, at this moment, the other side's chess piece suddenly attacked again, destroying the newly restored chess piece ?pawn?.

"Tsk" Coven shook his head slightly.

Without wasting any more time restoring the chess piece, Coven began to command the other chess pieces, sending another?pawn?forward, walking to the side of the other side, destroying the other side.

Next, Coven played chess according to the principle of Delivery Pieces', exchanging one for one.

When only the two pawns were left on his side, he stopped commanding.

When George saw this, he asked helplessly, "What should we do next?"

Fred shook his head and smiled, "We can't beat these magic pieces."

"Don't worry." Coven comforted him, then raised his wand and chanted in a deep voice, "Restore it to its original state!"

Magical light flashed, and in the next moment, all the chess pieces that had been destroyed on their own side began to turn back time.

Soon, all the chess pieces on their side became as good as before.

However, some of the recovered chess pieces were right beside the remaining chess pieces on the opposite side. So, the remaining three chess pieces, ?King?, ?Rook?, and ?Bishops?, all made their moves one after another and eliminated the restored chess pieces beside them.

In the end, there were still nine chess pieces that had been restored by Coven's spell.

"This is cheating, right?" When Fred saw this, he smiled in surprise.

George could not help but laugh and said, "But no matter if it is cheating or not, we can clear the game anyway."

Coven only smiled at this and continued to command his chess pieces to go forward. With nine against three, he easily destroyed all the remaining chess pieces of the other side.

After the game ended, the three people carefully avoided the gravel on the ground and opened the wooden door to the next level.

However, just as they pushed open the wooden door, a foul smell immediately drilled into their noses.

"Merlin's stinky socks!" George covered his mouth and nose and shouted, "Why is it so smelly!"

Fred also used his sleeve to cover his nose, and his other hand kept fanning in front of him as if he could slap the stench away.

Coven was also not much better. He had never seen the current situation when he was watching the movie, so he was also caught off guard by the stench that entered his nose.

However, before he could use any spells to deal with the current situation, a loud roar suddenly rang out in the room they had barged into.

The new checkpoint room was dark, and it didnt light up, so the three of them did not expect that there was something else in the dark room.

At this time, when they heard the roar, the three of them used the Fluorescent Charm' almost at the same time.

The twins maintained the fluorescent light at the top of their wands, while Coven used the Flying Fluorescent'. With a swing of his wand, a small ball of fluorescent light rose up high, illuminating a larger area.

"Merlin's Troll!"

After seeing the scene in the room through the light, George could not help but exclaim in surprise. He even used the wrong words.

There was actually an ugly monster in this room.

After being alarmed by the sound, the monster that was close to four meters tall was holding an extremely giant stick and rushing towards the three of them.

In a moment of desperation, George and Fred quickly pointed their wands at the monster at the same time, casting Impediment Jinx*.

[*TL Note: The Impediment Jinx (Impedimenta), also known as the Impediment Hex, was a jinx that hindered the target's movement, slowing it down or stopping it in its tracks. It was a common spell used in dueling.]

Unfortunately, although the troll wore short, old, and uneven waistcoats, it was still classified as a magical creature.

As a result, the troll had the same magical resistance as magical creatures. The Impediment Jinx' of the twins only slightly slowed down the troll's charge, and then it charged up again.

In this critical situation, Coven couldn't let the twins continue to use their abilities, so he immediately attacked.

"Transform! Containment! Stick Fly over!"

In a short moment, three spells were released by Coven one after another. The transformation spell turned the giant monster's shoulder into metal chains. Containment Charm made the metal chains automatically wrap around the giant monster's feet.

At the end, when the giant monster fell down, the giant stick that fell automatically flew in front of Coven
