The great demon played a Card of "Dodge" at the expense of protecting this chess piece at all costs. It was so proactive because of Xialan's Skill 1 "Shared Fate."

Based on: Xialan was a creation of the Creator using Aqi's blood, a created life where these two actually shared one life.

Effect: While Aqi stays on the field, her own health will not drop to zero; conversely, when Aqi is pronounced dead, she will also disappear from the field.

From past duels, the great demon concluded that as long as they do everything to protect Aqi, they need not worry about Xialan leaving the field.

The sole reason not to worry is Xialan's Skill 2 "Dustless."

Based on: Due to Xialan's feet never touching the ground, she never wears shoes and always floats slightly above the ground at an imperceptible height.

Effect: Immune to any form of direct attacks and skills that would reduce her health; in other words, there is no way to directly kill her in the game.

In Wang Xiaole's turn, he used Lucifer's Skill 2 "Dark Sword."

Flip the coin three times in a row, if all three are the same, the skill activates; Effect: Eliminate an enemy on the spot (excluding specific enemies).

Perhaps because of his lack of luck in past card draws, this time, Wang Xiaole had a burst of luck, with all three coin tosses coming up as tails, his chosen side.

Before the skill activated, he had already decided on the target. The target was not the "Creator," nor the "God of Destiny," but "Millerja."

Millerja's Skill 1 "Righteousness"

Based on: Millerja's nickname is the "Most Upright Angel in the Celestial Realm"; he can't stand nonsense, which reflects his character.

Effect: Grants himself an additional two drops of blood.

Skill 2 "Warlock"

Based on: Millerja, who reportedly defeated Satan, has the strength to match the strongest of the demon race. Due to his vast experience in battling demons, he is immune to all attacks from demonkind.

Effect: Any direct damage from the demon camp will have no effect on Millerja.

The second skill was already quite troublesome, and this enemy had a whopping four drops of blood; so, Wang Xiaole locked onto this chess piece as the target and used the "Dark Sword" to remove it from the field.

Next round, the great demon played a "Kill" and had "Aqi" copy the "Dirty Joke" skill from the "Creator"; then, it locked onto "Daina" in the demon camp and eliminated her in the attack.

At that moment, Daina's Skill 2 "Protection" was triggered.

Effect: If at the moment this chess piece's health reaches zero, Hillko remains on the field, then the damage received will be transferred to increasing the latter's highest health limit.

So, Hillko became four drops of blood.

It was Wang Xiaole's turn. He took a chance and activated Hillko's second skill "Mutual Harm."

Effect: For one round, the "kills" played by oneself affects their own chess pieces. Lilies' "Indifference" caused Hillko to take two points of damage, and then the positive effect of this skill was triggered!

Half of the self-deducted blood, any designated character in the enemy camp will take damage, and Wang Xiaole designated "God of Destiny."

Though the effect of the "Matron" was to prevent Hillko from causing damage to her; if it was indirect damage caused by a skill, it would still be effective.

The "God of Destiny" lost a drop of blood, the damage caused was because: the previous judgment result of another skill was "damage was truly effective."

This pattern repeated in the next round.

After two full rounds, Wang Xiaole dealt with the "God of Destiny"; and "Lilith" also left two rounds later due to receiving damage twice.

After that, Satan's two abilities were triggered: Skill 1 "Group Battle."

Effect: When there is only one chess piece left in the enemy camp, allows the player's side to launch two attacks in one round; Skill 2 "Curse"

Effect: By deducting one's blood, a specific enemy's skill cannot be activated.

Wang Xiaole made Satan lose a drop of blood first, causing the "Origin" skill of the "Creator" to be ineffective.

When the abilities "cannot continuously cause damage to her" and "after health reaches zero, revive once at half health" failed, the victory was inevitable; two "kills" settled the matter.

After his first defeat in a game, the great demon was surprised to find that he wasn't that upset, although somewhat unwilling, being openly defeated in the chess game, there was no room for complaints.

"Little sister won, as per the agreement, you can leave here now."

The great demon waved its claws and used the sharp tips to open up a void next to it as if playing with a wardrobe, thus opening a vortex portal to leave the place appeared in front of Wang Xiaole.

This way of opening a passage was only possible for the great demon. It had nothing to do with strength; it was purely because this place had the exclusive "key holder," only itself.

Originally, after the passage opened, Wang Xiaole should have left immediately. However, he didn't do so. Instead, at the moment when the great demon submerged in magma, he turned his back to it and said, "Thank you, I had a good time."

After saying these words, Wang Xiaole took steps forward. But upon hearing that sentence, the great demon fell into contemplation for a moment and finally managed to shout like thunder before Wang Xiaole left, "Little sister, if you really want to leave the maze, let me give you a piece of advice: Don't trust your past judgments!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaole couldn't help but stop in his tracks, though he didn't turn back, he still pondered over those words.

The next question was the best evidence:

"Why are you helping me?"

"Little sister, your aura exudes a magical scent; in the past, I have never encountered a human like you... to make an inappropriate comparison: beasts differentiate their kind by scent, I choose to help you probably because I don't feel any racial estrangement between us."

Certainly, there was another reason that the great demon was embarrassed to say: although it had played many games with various opponents, none had ever thanked it after the match ended.

Playing chess and bathing were the two great pleasures of the great demon's life, and if anyone appreciated either one of them, it would consider that person as a companion.

After keeping the advice in mind, Wang Xiaole made a request: "I don't want to owe anyone a favor. Can you tell me how I can repay this?"

"Is it necessary to take it so seriously?"

"It is necessary for me!"

The stubborn nature of Wang Xiaole was something the great demon couldn't handle, so it chose to comply with his words:

"Very well, little sister, after leaving, you can tell your close kin:

The demons and humans have had conflicts in the past, an unalterable fact, and there's no need to argue about who was right or wrong; there are demons in the demon world keen on seeking revenge against humans, but there are also demons who appreciate humans, like me who have settled in this maze..."

This demon with a story, made this request to Wang Xiaole in such a manner, and Wang Xiaole felt after hearing it, "You are the second most interesting demon I've encountered."

"Uh? Who's the first? If it's convenient, tell me."

"She is a demon I like, I treat her as my lover... No, she was already my lover!"

When he said this, his eyelids stopped blinking.

"Oh ho ho ho ho ho ho! I thought I'd never meet someone in my life who could love a demon, let alone a human, and yet I meet you today."

The great demon let out a unique, comical laughter, showing genuine joy in its emotional state.

That was the final conversation. Soon after, with the unforgettable laughter in his ears, Wang Xiaole leaped from the place and left the scene.

Upon returning to the familiar place, he slowly realized, "This time there are no new treasure chests, no annoying questions to answer and damage my brain."

After a moment of relief, Wang Xiaole began searching inside the palace. Just like before, he didn't waste much time and easily found the newly appeared door.

After opening the door, he saw a corridor with golden floral patterns. Following his previous experience, such a corridor would lead to a new path.

Considering that doors had already appeared on all four walls, this should be the final door. Viewing it as a pathway to the exit was entirely plausible.

Similar to the few trapped individuals who reached this point, Wang Xiaole reached the edge of the door. The one difference was that those few trapped individuals at this point, would step into the corridor and never return to the real world.

However, Wang Xiaole didn't do so, thanks to the great demon's earlier warning: "Don't believe your past judgments!"

Considering his current situation, Wang Xiaole could definitely interpret this phrase as: all the escape methods he had thought of before passing the fourth level would only lead him to a dead-end!

Upon careful consideration, Wang Xiaole noticed: if all he had to do was follow the normal pattern of passing through levels, how could Le Song consider this method as the ultimate life-saving move?

Once this thought crossed his mind, Wang Xiaole retracted the foot that was near the door.
