Chapter 298 Mission: 01-6 Strategy for Victory
The coin bounced up into the sky, arcing to its highest point. Nero stared at the spinning coin and formed an idea of ​​what he should do.

In this game, losers and winners can coexist. After the first person is eliminated, the other two will continue to compete. Even if they are captured, it will not affect the command power they previously obtained. At the same time, the command power only applies to the person they captured. This situation gives rise to two completely different game strategies:

It is to want to be the first to get the command of a specific person, not caring about the possibility of being eliminated.

It doesn't matter who has the power of command, I just want to be the final winner.

The former requires aggressive action to prevent being robbed of the kill, while the latter can wait for the opportunity with ease. The choice is up to you.

It is a very simple judgment question: which is more important, your own power to command or the power to command someone else.

The coin, having passed its highest point, slowly slid towards the ground. However, none of the three present looked at the coin, instead choosing to focus their gazes on each other. Nero could clearly see that Black Rabbit was not particularly interested in Nero's power of command, and was staring intently at Izayoi.

This is actually a hidden advantage. For Izayoi, the power of both Black Rabbit and Nero is very tempting, so it wouldn't be surprising if he attacked either side first. However, Nero is clearly more willing to accept losing to Black Rabbit than Izayoi. Therefore, Nero can choose to team up with Black Rabbit to kick Izayoi out first, and Black Rabbit obviously won't object.

However, Nero's most desired outcome was to become the final winner, so her first action in this situation was -

The coin fell to the ground and the three people disappeared at the same time.

Black Rabbit retreated, having previously used her eyes to confuse the others. Her true strategy wasn't a head-on attack, but rather to escape the battlefield and then, relying on her powerful mobility and perception, achieve victory through a surprise attack.

Izayoi chased after him without hesitation. As long as Black Rabbit escaped his sight, Izayoi could be entangled by Nero and unable to evade him, thus he would not allow Black Rabbit to choose a strategy that would guarantee his defeat.

As for Nero—she had followed through with her original choice. As long as she could successfully keep Izayoi here, and wait for Black Rabbit to launch a surprise attack and capture him, Nero would be the final winner.

It can even be said that the game was over when the three people completed their first action.

The swung serpent sword accurately caught Izayoi, who leaped up to pursue Black Rabbit, redirecting him and flinging him into the air. In the blink of an eye, Black Rabbit disappeared behind a building, out of sight.

"Hey, hey, hey, didn't we agree that the sneak attack matter has been settled?"

Izayoi showed no signs of anger or anxiety, and laughed as he adjusted his posture, maintaining his balance, and looked for a place to land.

"It's not nice of a gentleman to extend an invitation and then abandon his guests."

Nero smiled and threw his own "boomerang" at Izayoi, then stood steadily on the top of the tower without moving.

After this first round of confrontation, the nature of the game had already changed. For Izayoi, his only chance of victory was to capture Nero before Black Rabbit could launch an attack. Black Rabbit had already secured his right to command. Nero only needed to stall for time and wait for Black Rabbit to launch a surprise attack.

Therefore, she wouldn't move, but would instead engage in a "defensive battle" here. Because if it became a chase, the situation would be too favorable for Black Rabbit. Nero would become Izayoi's target here, luring him into an attack, and then catching Black Rabbit, who had completed his sneak attack and had nowhere to hide. This was the so-called winning strategy.

The only problem with this plan was that if Black Rabbit chose to capture Nero instead of attacking Izayoi, Nero would lose. However, in that case, it would be Black Rabbit who captured Nero, which wouldn't be a bad outcome. Nero was also convinced that his power of command wouldn't be attractive enough to Black Rabbit, and wouldn't be worth losing to Izayoi.

So, this plan is foolproof.

But what Nero saw so clearly, Izayoi could also see clearly. For him, there seemed to be only one way to win.

"It's a good idea," he praised. "But if I do this—"

He suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Nero: "--What are you going to do?"

Nero, using his accordion sword, could stop Izayoi from a distance and redirect his attack, preventing him from catching Nero. This was a surefire way to win. But Izayoi wasn't an ordinary player. If he couldn't find a way to win on the chessboard, he would simply flip it over.

So, instead of attacking Nero, he chose to attack the bell tower under Nero's feet.

As long as he doesn't enter the sword circle of Nero's accordion sword, Nero will not be able to stop him - so as long as Izayoi destroys the commanding heights occupied by Nero, he can eliminate Nero's original advantage!
I have to admit that Izayoi's brain works very quickly, and he is very good at taking unconventional paths. But as a player——

He seems to lack some moral distress.

Izayoi certainly wasn't without morals, and in fact, he would uphold his moral bottom line. But on the other hand, as long as he stayed within that line, he wouldn't feel any guilt about anything he did. Fairness was his bottom line, so as long as there was no cheating, anything was acceptable; human life was his bottom line, so he would never show mercy to property.

He seems to live a little too freely.

Seeing Izayoi punching the bell tower beneath her feet, Nero immediately understood what he was planning to do. But Nero certainly couldn't let him do that. Losing her foothold wouldn't matter, she could just find another one, but she didn't want to see things get out of hand.

If she gets entangled by the guards of [Salamanda], the trouble she will face will be much greater than that of Izayoi and the others [Wumi].

At that moment, Nero made an immediate judgment. She drew her sword and slashed through the crack, instantly appearing in front of Izayoi. A flash of purple lightning in her hand transformed into a nimble nunchaku, colliding with Izayoi as she charged forward.

She wanted to stop Izayoi, but she didn't want to engage in direct physical contact—otherwise, she would easily be judged defeated by being touched by a "palm." In this situation, the best choice was this weapon that she had never officially used.

The three-section staff failed to stop Izayoi, but this was within Nero's expectations. The purple lightning instantly turned into red fire, and the split three-section staff connected together, becoming a long burning staff.

The force that came along the stick instantly surprised Nero.
