Chapter 137 - Bang

Bang

The hammer doubled the sound of echo. It was not pleasant to listen this echo because the huge empty area increased the impact. It was clear that the door would take effort.

Junan and others stood to wait. "The next hall will be darker so Sashi will use the lit weapon differently. The third hall might lead us directly in the trench. The cursed king might be stronger however I have think thoroughly how to defeat him without battle." Team head commented.

He wanted to tell others about his plans how to kill the king. "Is there a way?" Albert asked.

They were always on the go. One after the other quest grabbed their attention completely. It was team head the younger player who always come up extraordinary planning to get rid stronger boss.

In fact it decreased their worry about the tough collaboration for killing the stronger. "We know very that the king is afraid of the light. The tear of the Ashmorn releases light as well. I think using weapon might burn our calories instead we can bring the lit tear of Ashmorn. The king might know stronger magic compared to the attendants." Junan explained.

His words carried worth. Who would want to battle when the mere light could kill the enemy? "If the tear of Ashmorn could not kill the king then we might need to blast the trenches to let the day light enter in…" Ahram added.

They looked at him. It was first ever that he added his suggestion. "For sure the younger Jake could do wonder in least time." Team head chuckled.

"So in this level three kings are bigger bosses with curse. Pity for their lives that the Ashmorn left her tears for Runners to kill them I should thank her after reaching Orlenia Palace." Albert was glad that they did not need to directly battle with the boss. It reduced burden on his shoulders.

Normally it was hard effort to kill bosses. Junan nodded, "Indeed we might be able to complete the level before the last day starts."

The previous level was quite horrible experience they barely survived many life and death events especially various types of poisons kept their breath stuck in their throat.

"Are they going to give us bonus for earlier completion for example some ability or perks?" Sashi asked curious. She was interested if they really give some perks.

"Haha I do not think they are going to consider it. It is for our performance. Presently we have no one to compete however in the future the guilds would learn to survive in the portal. Our better performance will keep us at the front. There are things that will reveal slowly for us. Get ready for bigger changes in your private and public life. I have heard few rumors. We might eventually know them." Team head initially hesitated however he thought to give some gesture about the future changes.

Sashi and others got curious more than ever however they did not ask further.

They door collapsed and they turned immediately. Sashi hurried to throw the lit weapon. Jake threw grenade. They reached near. The hall was empty. There was literally no one to welcome them. The guard was still at the first door.

After knowing that the Runners entered in the palace the king lost options for escape. His most of loyal attendants were killed in the first battle with the runners.

Now he was waiting for them to appear in the trench and he could kill with his magic. He learned magic to find treasures and wealth from the ancient caves.

He was not alone. The other two kings were equally greedy. They were angry at the truth that the Arena Runners found out about their plans of rituals.

This ruined everything. The king was waiting in his trench to kill the runners.

The runners were ready to kill him without battling. If they decided someone else to sacrifice for the rituals then the three kings might have survived however they decided to sacrifice the esteemed Ashmorn.

It triggered their plight. The Ashmorn has complete control over the three forces of the Seven Empires. The first and foremost force was the Arena Runners.

She was sure that the Arena Runners could stop the three kings and save her.

Two days were left in the fortnight. The king stopped the preparations for the rituals instead started thinking what to do to halt the advancement of the runners.

He was currently baffled.

He was ignorant about the power of the Ashmorn. He could never imagine that the tear of Ashmorn could let the runners pass through the gates those were locked by the king.

Initially king taunted the little girl. He was sure that Ashmorn could not do wonders. The opening of the locked gates was evidence that he should not have taken her warning mere words.

Now he regretted however nothing could be done other than the battle. He ordered to gather all magic masters also sent someone to bring the old master for this battle.

The king was confined in the Orlenia palace. He personally could not appear in the battle. The old master could kill the Runners. The old master received the message and reached the palace. He was informed about the runners entering in the Ruma Palace.

The old master ordered to capture the Ashmorn and restrict her with the chains. The attendants brought iron chains and confined her. The Ashmorn did not protest instead she was silent.

Her fire red eyes were silent till now.

She was waiting for the runners. If they could not kill the old master then Ashmorn would break the incomplete force of her nature. It would destroy the Orlenia palace along with the Empire.

Destroying an Empire to save the other six was the only choice she could decide on at the last moment. At the cost of her life she was ready to kill the king and everything in his surroundings.

Jake received the notification.

[Killing the king would destroy the palace]

[Warning: The tear of Ashmorn hidden in this palace will disappear.]

[Task: The tear of Ashmorn has better usage than of killing the king.. Just throw him in the light and get rid the enemy.]
