Douluo Dalu : White God 50 A Board Game

That's exactly what Mubai did, he went along with the dark spirit master and the 'Holy Ghost Church', the Devil G.o.d's sect's plot, to make a name for himself. Not only it can be beneficial to put him under the spotlight, and it also helped him to distract the world's eyes from his 'shadow', it could also make his light persona to be more known and if everything went according to his plan, it also will make his future path to become the next Emperor a smooth sail.

...

-Back when the Tournament ended-

The clock ticking, two figures of Mubai and Elder Lan was seated playing a game of chess accompanied by two cups of a tea and a plate of Serabi. [1] Outside of the Golden Rock building, there's a big commotion, a huge black pillar suddenly appeared and spreads a dark miasma. Unknown to elder Lan, once in a while Mubai heard a report from outside through a special means.

"Well, it seems I'm going first..."

Mubai placed one of his p.a.w.n-piece far from his other pieces, Elder Lan reciprocated with his own move, few turns later, the p.a.w.n-piece that he moved first was 'eaten' by Elder Lan's Rook-piece. At the same time, Mubai received a report from outside.

"The first prince was taken, one of the Devil generals took him. He was seen at the base of the black pillar."

Mubai smiled and take Elder Lan's p.a.w.n-piece by his knight-piece. The game went with none of them let their piece taken, each of their moves was thought carefully.

'Gotcha!'

Seeing that one of Mubai's rook was left unguarded, Elder Lan wanted to move his bishop to take it.

"Hehe, watch your pieces kid."

...

Deep inside of a forest, unending swarms of black-cloaked peoples rushed and attacked the barriers that protected the 'Sage Temple'. On another side of the barrier, several white-robed 'persons' channeled their spirit energies to maintain the protective barrier.

Several dozens of minutes pa.s.sed and they were held in a stalemate. The black-cloaked peoples were held in place, then a shriveled looking man was stepped forward. His back was hunched, and his face was full of wrinkles like tree bark, unlike the rest, he wore a dark brown colored scarf that covered half of his face in addition to the cloak.

"To think that they don't fight back, is it a trap? No, I don't think that they will let their sacred temple here to be destroyed..."

"But still, for a place called temple, this d.a.m.nable building is sure as fortified as a fort."

Like the red sea that was split by Moses, the black-cloaked person opened a pathway for the green-scarfed man to walk to the temple's barrier. A green color light that matched his scarf's color glowed on his body surface. His figure was quickly morphed, his mouth was transformed into a beak full of small saw-like teeth, his grey hair turned into feathers with the same color tone, his feet reformed into fowl-like claws, and from his back grew a cobrlike snake as a tail.

"Heaah~ how long has it been since I use my martial spirit? This c.o.c.katrice form is sure the most comfortable form to be in. How long has it been since this world trembled in fear upon hearing my name, Malphas, the mighty Great Prince of h.e.l.l?"

He let out a purple-colored gas from his beak, his slanted eyes glinted full of malice.

"Now let's get down to business. Spirit Skill..." He Inhaled deeply, the air around was forming a small whirlpool-like circle while sucked by him.

"[Stone Breath Blaster]"

Dull grey gas was shooted like a mini cyclone from his beak, it hit the barrier and the gas latched on the barrier. Not long after, the invisible barrier gained a grey, stone-like, hue.

"What are you imbecile waiting for? Attack!" With a shout that sounded like a dog bark, the green-scarfed man, Malpash, prepared the attack of his own.

With a loud bang, the temple's barrier finally crumbled by constant attack from the enemies.

"Heaahahaha, charge! Everyone charge! Flatten this d.a.m.nable construct to the ground!"

Just after the barrier was the gate of the Sage Temple, Although it called 'Gate', it was more looked like a normal paved road if the tiger stone statues beside it being overlooked, which is impossible to be ignored because of its enormous size.

"Kill!"

"Slaughter!"

"Destroy!"

Just as the swarm of black-cloaked persons approached the gate, the tiger statues shone with myriads of colors lights.

...

*Cough*

"You sure are Impatient, are you sure with this move Elder Lan?"

"Well, of course! Don't underestimate me, I have tons of life experience compared to you." With a nod full of confidence, Elder Lan replied with a small smile hanging on his face.

"Is that so?" With a gaze full of pity, Mubai moved his bishop to take Elder Lan's knight piece and by 'coincidence' it was in a diagonal line with Elder Lan's queen piece. It's not a big deal actually, Elder Lan could just move his queen piece either to move it elsewhere or just took it with his queen piece.

The problem was Mubai's bishop piece was in a straight diagonal line with Elder Lan's queen and King piece, if the queen piece was moved then it would open a path for Mubai to take his King piece thus ended the game. And if Elder Lan 'ate' the bishop, then he can kiss that queen piece a goodbye, because it was backed by Mubai's p.a.w.n.

Is the sacrifice worth it? Well, for Mubai sacrificing a rook and a bishop for his opponent's knight and queen pieces was definitely worth it. Especially since he has another thing in mind.

Seeing that the situation suddenly reversed, Elder Lan's eyes were opened wide.

"Eh? What?"

...

"Do you really think you can beat us with this meager power?"

A calm but firm voice suddenly boomed and shook the heart of the black-cloaked persons, a simple talk could intimidate the opponent, there were only a handful of people that able to do so.

"Who is it? show yourself!"

Malphas shouted as he was floated from the ground, his eyes were narrowed, scanning the surrounding.

"Well well, what an honor, for us the Sage Temple to be graced with your presence..."

An old man wearing a black robe and a lousy white cape with half of his face full of messy beard and another half was covered with bang, he could be seen walking out of the Temple with hands hanging on his side, if someone met him on the street, they will think that he's just another common drunkard if they didn't know him beforehand. He is the current Temple master of the Sage Temple, Dai Jiangyong, the one known as Mountain Tiger Douluo.

One of the reasons that he called such was due to his habit to secluded himself in the mountain, although the peoples that knew him could be counted by two hands alone now, as he was the one that secretly groomed by the previous temple master since the day he lost to Mubai's great grandfather in the throne claiming battle. He once had a family and a daughter, which was slaughtered mercilessly by one of the Devil G.o.d Sp.a.w.n dozens of years ago. Since then, he shut himself and trained like a madman to avenge them.

"...Mr. Malphas, the great prince of h.e.l.l, the third seat of the Devil G.o.d general."

Dai Jingyong was an amiable man, he was kind and easygoing even when interacting with Spirit beast. But clearly, the Dark Spirit Masters and the Devil G.o.d sp.a.w.n that took his family away from him were an exception. As soon as his sight landed on Malphas, the Temple Master immediately activating his spirit transformation and his form changed into a were-tiger form with chromatic blue and red eyes that confirmed he's part of the Starfall Royal family, his body was covered in snow-white fur with bluish strips, his hands turned into paw with claws and fangs were protruding from his mouth.

"Heaahahaha, looks like it won't be that boring after all." Malphas long tongue came out and licking his beak, a bit purple gas was leaked from his nostrils.

"How about this, you offer me two of your elders and in exchange, I won't destroy your temple." Malphas reached out his hand, he gave the Temple Master an offer. Different from his previous baleful aura that made people felt hollow, currently Malphas' aura seems more intimidating and awe-inspiring, just like a heroic general that stepped into a decisive war.

"Malphas, the Devil that accepts willingly and kindly any sacrifice offered to him, but then he will deceive the conjurer without fulfilling his own part of the deal. Hence, you're known as the Deceiver."

Hearing Dai Jianyong's words, Malphas grinned and his aura reverted back to his former baleful one.

"You're not that stupid after "

Without able to finish his words, Malphas jumped back to evade an attack from the Temple Master, his subordinates around him were all turned into minced meat. He looked at the attacker's indifferent eyes and whistled.

"Quite Impatient, aren't you?"

[1] Serabi, also called surabi, srabi, also known in Thailand as khanom khrok, is an Indonesian pancake that is made from rice flour with coconut milk or shredded coconut as an emulsifier. Most of traditional serabi tastes sweet, as the pancake is usually eaten with kinca or thick golden-brownish-colored coconut sugar syrup. However, another savory version also existed that uses oncom toppings. Different provinces in various Asian countries have their own serabi recipes corresponding to local tastes.
