Chapter 143 - Demon

Demon

"See it." Orin puffed his chest after revealing them. The demons jumped outside of the pit. They looked at the runners. Team members stepped back. This was sudden revelation of the npc's.

The demon that glared Orin looked at his weapon and created similar weapon for the battle.

Orin was shocked to see this.

Junan called Albert and Clark to handle the rest of two demons. The third one was already walking towards Orin.

Team head gestured Ahram to give helping hand to Orin. Jake was standing because he was responsible to keep note of surrounding. Junan wanted to know why demons were hiding here.

There must be strong reason. Jake was familiar with the reason however he thought to wait. According to the clue this pit could be the first corner where the fist cuff was placed to stable the palace under the ground.

If this was true then they were at the right place. By killing these demons there were three more pits to be cleared. Sashi witnessed the battle. She was thinking to use her arrows however this was close enough. Her attack would not work. Also the arrows could disturb team members in the battle.

She walked along the visible line on the ground. The ground was torn apart in order to hide the palace so the crevice line was visible. Sashi was free to explore so she kept walking along the line.

The distance was enough however knowing that the others side was safe she was willing to know the problem with the place. It was strange they found demons and they were trying to hide too.

It was enough to create suspicion. Since others were busy in battling with demons it was good chance to explore the surrounding.

Jake noticed Sashi he was glad that she was doing this instead of him. This would reduce his effort in explaining.

The demons were using same weapons as the runners. They also mimicked the battle moves of the players. Orin was stumped to see this. No matter how rare move he was using in fact he exposed his master moves too. The demon did not take much time and learned the move in the next few moments.

When Ahram joined the demon looked at the dagger chain and thought to bring that weapon in existence. The red dagger chain appeared in his hand and he threw it toward Ahram.

Ahram stepped back surprised. The chain was similar other than the difference of the color.

It confused the battle scenario because the changes in the weapons were tough for the players. They were looking what to expect further from these demons.

Junan was helping Clark. Albert was busy with the third demon. The demon brought the red shield along with the spear. Albert twitched. He was using spear but the demon was faster to dodge with the shield.

He was trying to figure out flaw in the actions of the demon. From the current actions it was hard to differentiate however for Albert it was not impossible to find the flaw.

Ahram and Orin were able to understand the problem with the demon. Now that he was using two weapons confusion on his face. The demons were only part of the magic of the magic attendant.

They were not currently controlling instead the blind magic was working in the battle. This led the demons confuse the moves of two different players. "Ahram you will give me cover." Orin spoke. He was keeping track just when the demon changed the weapon in the chains he attacks.

The demon attacked with the chains using the same move of the player. The chains circled around the thorny mace. "Now your turn." Orin immediately gave gesture.

Ahram casted the chains on the face of the demon and threw him on the ground. The chain weapon of the demon disappeared. The thorny mace got released. Orin immediately slammed it against the body of the demon.

The demon vanished in the air as if he never existed. The key to battle and defeat these demons was simple. Rendering them helpless and attacking with all might when they could no more wield weapon. It potentially weakened the magic working behind.

Junan also followed same technique. He was able to know how they should get rid them.

Jake saw Sashi coming back. She was excited as if found some treasure. By walking along the crevice she was able to see another pit. She was sure that there must be demons so she returned to inform. It was necessary to confirm what was going on.

Albert smashed the shield on the demon when he was ready for the spear attack. After knowing that demon was copying his moves Albert could no more let him exploit battle.

They got rid all three demons and looked inside the pit. There was no one. "We should check why demons were here? It might lead us to some clue." Junan gave his opinion.

They were walking in central city and no one appeared and they did not notice anyone trying to spy them or chase. The whole city was dead silent.

The question was simple. They were curious to know the reason behind this crevice in the ground and the demons. They might not have battled with the runners if it was random.

His premonition led them descend in the pit. The pit was dull dark however they able to make some sense. No matter if the magic attendants tried to hide it but they could see the remnants of the garden.

"What is there? The shining iron." Jake pointed toward the iron cuff. It was holding this corner of the garden and giving support to the pillars. The magic attendants was already half dead because his magic demons got killed.

Clark peaked his head to what was shining thing. "I am here man. Give me this chance." Team head sighed.. The pit was not enough for all of them to cramp up in the space especially peak their heads at the downward empty block.
