My avatar is becoming the final boss

Chapter 37 Chess Player
[Main Mission 1: Arrive at the meeting place and successfully pass the White Crow Brigade's entrance examination.]

In the messy office, Ji Minghuan raised his eyebrows and stared motionlessly at the black lake formed by shadows.

He was curious about what kind of demon would come out of it.

The next moment, a huge shadow emerged from the black lake. It was four meters tall, with purple and green skin, and a bloated body like a giant. However, it was wearing a work uniform that fit it perfectly. In its left hand, it held an oversized coffee cup, and under its right armpit, it held a huge keyboard.

The strangest thing is: there are two big heads connected to its neck.

The head on the left was foaming at the mouth and looked sickly, while the head on the right was wearing a red headband and looked excited. On the headband was written: "Shiji Bán Sài! (Long live part-time jobs!)"

The two heads whispered hoarsely, one saying "performance...performance" and the other saying "vacation...vacation".

No way, he really is a social animal demon? Ji Minghuan was stunned. He didn't expect that he had foreseen this scene.

"This is your opponent, the working devil," An Lunsi said in a low voice. "It is also... a foreign object condensed from the resentment of those two deceased employees."

"That's quite a stretch." Ayase Origami deadpanned, "Obviously, no one has ever seen a demon like this before."

"I just gave him the name 'Working Devil'. Isn't that nice?"

"Good soil."

Come on, this demon doesn't look scary at all, alright? It's just filled with sadness. What the hell happened to you, office workers? You have to work overtime in life, and after you die, you have to come out with an oversized coffee cup and keyboard to be used as experience packs. It's just awful.

Ji Minghuan was teasing in his heart, but there was no expression on his face.

Under the gaze of the three people behind him, he moved forward, following the reflex circuit in his memory, and summoned the Tianji of this body.

In an instant, a black and white halo emerged from his body, like the squares of a chess piece, and was arranged disorderly in the sky. Finally, it twisted into a black and white "Mobius strip" surrounding him.

Then, four chess pieces of different shapes appeared on the track of the Möbius strip.

Like a satellite, it slowly revolves around him.

The "working devil" roared to the sky and rushed towards Ji Minghuan. Every step he took made the old building rumble. The discolored wall peeled off and pieces of dust fell from the ceiling.

It was like a dirty rain.

"From memory, this is how these chess pieces should be used."

Ji Minghuan's makeshift team calmly stretched out his right hand and pinched the rotating "king chess piece" with his index finger.

With a "click", the king chess piece shattered in his hand and turned into a huge figure that landed not far to his right.

He took a glance and saw that the body of this "King Statue" was made of black iron, and every inch of detail was lifelike.

[Hint: The basic chess type - "King" has been materialized.]

[Chess Type - "King": Has no combat power, but as long as the King is on the field, you will be protected by a mysterious force, immune to all physical and mental attacks (to harm you, the enemy must first destroy the "King" chess piece)]

The king was three meters tall, wearing a cloth robe and a jeweled crown on his head. He had wise eyes and a scepter in his right hand.

An Lunsi was leaning against a corner of the office, his shoulders folded. Seeing this, he couldn't help but whistle and exclaimed, "Oh... what an interesting Sky Drive."

"Never seen it." Ayase Origami also said.

"It's very strange. No wonder the captain is interested in him." Robert said.

Amidst the deafening sound of footsteps, the working devil arrived as expected.

It roared "Overtime! Overtime!", raised the huge keyboard with both hands and smashed it down, its arms rising and falling, beating Ji Minghuan madly. The black keycaps fell like a rainstorm, scattering all over the ground, but could not touch his body no matter what.

After a while, seeing that the beating was ineffective, the working devil narrowed his eyes and slowly retreated a step or two. He saw that Ji Minghuan's body was covered by a thin layer of black and white light wall.

The source of this wall of light is the scepter of the "King Colossus".

The working devil was panting heavily. It seemed to understand something and turned to run towards the giant statue of the king standing quietly beside it.

"I have to protect the king... If the king dies, my body will have no means of protection."

Thinking about this, Ji Minghuan raised his right hand and grabbed another chess piece on the black and white circle. [Hint: The basic chess piece has been materialized - "Soldier"]

[Chess Type - "Soldier": A chess type with very average qualities and abilities. Soldiers wielding long swords are rather clumsy in their movements, but their advantage lies in their sheer numbers.]

In an instant, a three-meter-tall, fully-armed black iron soldier blocked the working demon's way. It raised its cold sword and pointed the tip of the sword at the working demon.

The demon roared and threw the giant coffee cup at it like a bowling ball.

The Black Iron Soldier leaned forward, gripping the hilt tightly. He spun his body, leveraging the momentum to strike out. A flash of cold sword light clenched the incoming cup in two. Shards of glass rained down overhead like a torrential rain, carrying with them the rich aroma of black coffee.

The working devil's eyes were red as he roared angrily: "Work! Promotion! Work! Promotion!"

It chased after him like a raging wave, smashing the keyboard at the Black Iron Soldier like a blunt weapon. The soldier gripped the hilt of his sword with both hands, holding it horizontally in front of him as a blocking gesture.

The keyboard fell with a resounding "bang!" that shook the entire office. The black iron sword trembled, a sharp humming sound as the black iron soldier, facing the mountain-like force above him, instantly fell to his knees.

It was half-kneeling on the ground, with a huge dent under its boots and fine cracks spreading outward.

"Just a single soldier can stand up to a demon of this level. Its tactical value must be very high."

Ji Minghuan watched this scene, thinking silently in his heart, and then he grabbed another chess piece on the black and white circle.

[Hint: The basic chess type - "Cannon Cart" has been materialized.]

[Chess Type - "Cannon Cart": Can fire powerful cannonballs, but it takes time to recharge after each shot.]

As smoke rose, a massive black iron cannon appeared in a corner of the office. It moved its muzzle and aimed at the working demon who was locked in a stalemate with the soldiers.

The next second, the artillery carriage vibrated and roared, and a black shell burst out from the muzzle.

With a loud "bang", the shell exploded in mid-air, and then the violent fireworks merged into a red beam of light, sweeping towards the back of the working devil.

The flames, like a ravenous beast, devoured every inch of the working demon's flesh. In the intense heat, the working demon roared furiously, twitching his keyboard recklessly, and staggered back a few steps. Each step left a deep, burnt pit under his feet, and the office trembled violently.

Its hair and skin were corroded by the flames, turning into black and purple fragments that fell all over the ground.

"almost."

Seizing this opportunity, Ji Minghuan raised his hand and grabbed the last chess piece on the black and white circle.

[Hint: The basic chess type has been materialized - "Queen"]

The chess piece shattered, and then a slender and elegant figure fell from the sky. She was two meters and five meters tall, and her whole body was made of "black iron". She held a short dagger in her left hand and a long dagger in her right hand. Her upper body was armor, and her lower body was wrapped in a long skirt.

The flames from the exploding shells hadn't faded yet, and the working demon's entire body was burning in flames. It hunched over, clutching its head and screaming in agony, "Performance... my performance!"

At this moment, a clear figure rushed towards it like a flying bird, jumped up with the tip of its toes, and its two daggers spun in an elegant arc in the air.

Like a female dancer performing the swan dance, her body spun and fell.

The next moment, a huge groove appeared on the necks of both heads of the working demon. Blood gushed out from the groove like a fountain, and then its two heads separated from the body.

Two heads and a headless body fell slowly into the pool of blood below at the same time.

Just at this moment, a prompt panel with a black and white chessboard background popped up in front of Ji Minghuan.

[Note: A C-rank "Demon" has been killed. The progress quest for the second game character's "Exclusive Training System" - "Wild Hunt Winter" has been updated.]

【Please open the interface as soon as possible to claim your rewards. 】

The magnificent giant nodded slightly, put away his daggers, turned his back to the burning giant, and walked back towards Ji Minghuan step by step.

[Queen: The most agile of the four basic chess types. Her weapons are a short dagger and a long dagger. (Only the King knows why the Queen possesses this ability.)]

Ji Minghuan looked at the giant statue of the queen walking slowly towards him and couldn't help but wonder, "So, why is the queen holding the assassin template? Did this Tianqu make a mistake?"
