Chess Game and Change

A duel between mages was unlike knights charging at each other in hot-blooded fashion. Neither was it similar to how thieves and rangers fought in guerilla style where one second would determine life and death. A mages' duel was more logical, and resembled a game of chess.

"Naturally, in chess, the more pieces you have, the better. The stronger the pieces, the better. The more moves you can make, the better."

Right now, our battle resembled such a chess game. Conservation and I were just like the kings. I was well protected by Yongye City's defenses, while Conservation was extremely far away from me right now. It would be far too difficult for either of us to directly kill each other, so of course both of us could only focus on each other's pawns first.
