Chapter 152 - Old Master

Old Master

They were entering in the inner palace. there were no more statues at the entrance instead half face ugly looking human was standing in the middle. There was inner door behind him.

There was no doubt that this human was the old master. Team members understood who he was. In fact Clark was dissatisfied to see the potential second last boss of this level.

He was holding magic staff in his hand. Clark was unable to decide whether the magic staff was uglier or the old master. There was tough competition between both.

It was up to the old master to battle intensely and won the ugly competition.

The man standing in the middle did not look up or spoke anything. He was motionless. It seemed he was glaring the ground. Albert kept ready his shield in order to fend off the sudden attack. There was no doubt that the old master was aware about their separate positions in the team. For example he was not clueless about the team head and that he possessed the tears.

In fact he knew their ability level. Some of the team members were well versed with their abilities and others were still in the middle to understand the profession.

Jake critically looked at the second boss. There was not warning from the task panel. It pointed the fact that they could defeat the boss without much difficulty however the battle might prolong.

The reason was simple. This old master was confident. He would not accept defeat earlier.

After some time the air swish however they could not see the attack. Albert was using his ability at the fullest form so he was able to tell the direction of the attack. He jumped in the middle facing the back of the team head.

The team members got shocked. Some of them were aware but could tell the attack direction. It was sneak attack at the team head. Sliver streaks of black smashed against the shield. The shield opened up the shining beads to show that the weapon was at the level two.

The streaks of the black magic attack dispersed. Albert was immensely glad to decipher the connection between the profession ability and the weapon.

He actually liked this instead of the direct skills which he used in all types of games that he played earlier from this portal. Now he was able to understand what made this portal different from other games in true sense.

Team head was holding the sword however as soon as Albert jumped near him made it easy for him to know that old master was a scum.

If he was not scum then why would he need to sneak attack for defeating opponents? He clearly wielded double strength than the runners still he was using underhanded means.

Orin and Clark noticed this and became alert with their weapons. Half of them possessed different weapons those could not render the magic attack.

So they were responsible to battle with the fullest ability. Jake was not ignorant. His single shield was active.

"This scum is overconfident with his means." Junan commented. He picked single tear in his fist. Team head did not want to use the tears at the very beginning of the battle. It would reveal their limited approach for the battle yet the team members should not reveal it.

The ability or the skills were like treasures so experienced players never reveal them all of sudden. Same went with the in-game treasures. The Ashmorn tears were the real treasure that they gotten with hard work to battle with the bosses.

Junan wanted the team members to give some damage to the old master in the battle. This would let them earn some hp.

Jake threw grenade seeing that the old master was still standing motionless. He wanted to know the reaction of the old master.

The grenade fell in the feet of the old master. The distance was enough that the team members would not face direct impact.

The magic staff moved. The magic staff covered the blast energy and scattered in the sky above.

"At least this old master needed his magic staff to face our attacks." Orin whispered. The old master rose up his head finally and looked toward Jake.

He was the first runner to attack at him.

Jake blinked his eyes. He held two more grenades in his hands in case the old master wanted to directly attack him.

"Well to be honest the old master is uglier than his magic staff." Clark commented after seeing the half face of the old master. In his head he was betting that the magic staff was ugly.

Truth be told the owner of the magic staff looked horrible than the weapon.

"You keep your attention whether he is handsome like you or not." Albert heard his mumbling and answered.

Among the male team members Clark was handsome despite his bulky body. "Believe it or not the old master is matching with you." Albert zipped his lips after speaking this to Clark.

The team members rarely roast each other. Only the team head has the rights to roast anyone of them if he was angry or dissatisfied at their performance.

Clark did not answer. He thought to wait till they defeat the old master. Orin was left at the front after Albert jumped to protect the team head.

Old master was glaring the younger player when Junan interrupted, "I am sure there will be shameless bosses in the further levels however you won the first place until now." Junan did not like the way this boss was trying to scare his team member.

The old master looked toward the team head and opened his ugly mouth showing the horrible innards. Black smoke followed. This was unique attack. It was not just the smoke but the small creatures were confined in it.

Those looked like worms. Sashi wanted to puke after witnessing this ugly attack.. It was troublesome because they could render useless magic ball attack however these random creatures were spreading on their heads.
