Chapter 185 - White Altar 3

White altar 3

Fourth quest

"In my entire gaming career I never happened to battle with woodcutter enemy. This once I will tackle before the retirement. Who else is excited?" Team head asked others while looking at the cottage.

The cottage was no more in the shape of cottage instead it turned in to bigger scarecrow. Earlier the wooden enemies were with the limited number of sticks. So it did not make them look overly shaped yet this cottage was more of jumble of sticks.

It was trying to bring some shape but failed. Team members were unable to tell how many hands and the legs were total in number.

"Great shape. I think the woodcutter should show up. Wait is there really woodcutter hiding in the town? How come I feel like team head has already seen him?" Clark looked at team head for confirmation.

Junan rose his shoulders slightly then loosened smiling, "Well it was my blind arrow in the darkness. Imagine the town freshly made of woods. Who brought this much woods? To be honest I don't know why boss is doing so much work and hiding the card. Is he maniac for wooden structures?" Team head was clueless so he created this theory.

The wooden cottage started moving toward them. As it took first step with lot of wooden sticks giving upkeep, few sticks fell from the top. Since the structure was not perfectly done it was normal for the stray sticks to scatter.

Woodcutter living in the White Altar was much happy. He liked to bring woods from the nearest forest and build structures. When the call first fell in the town he was curious but later he came to know that the card was useful.

Before the appearance of the card the white altar was not much visited place. The woodcutter was not happy because he wanted people appreciate his work how he was building down singlehandedly. The magical changed the silent white altar in to lively place.

Slowly woodcutter became worried that if some day he lost the card or someone came to look for it, the charm of the white altar would vanish. For this he decided to battle and defeat whoever tried to snatch the card.

Some of the structures were made to protect the card. With the help of magical card he was able to test how masterly he could battle.

Today strange light in the sky brought the fear in reality. Right after the spark of light in the sky this team appeared out of nowhere.

The people left the town out of fear before the team came.

The woodcutter remained hidden to see the strength of the enemies and what they were looking for. Team members destroyed the wooden helpers for the battle. It increased worry.

"Although the wooden cottage is in the middle of attack and maintaining the shape still it could bring trouble. Probably the attacks would be similar of level three weapons. All of you need to focus and let's battle. Well do I need to battle?" Junan stopped at the last sentence.

The cottage was bulky in size this did not necessarily means that all of them should get attacking. "I want to rest and talk with the young player. Rest of you should get to work." Junan finally decided.

He was confused earlier. But after thinking he decided not to talk part in the brawl. This was fourth quest and they were looking for the fourth card.

He wanted to talk with the younger player on some topics. Actually he tried to request for one to one meet up after the completion of the second level.

There were few aspects that he wanted to clarify with the kid however the kid did not give permission to the attendants to decide any schedule.

This quest was completely different and being team head he could make plans according to the needs of the quest and the level. Before battling with the cottage he changed his mind and thought to sit somewhere and talk with the kid.

Jake creased his brows but nodded. There was nothing much to do as long as the team members could battle feasibly.

"You both are going to watch the show. I see." Orin walked ahead. He was supposed to lead others. Actually all of them would lead individually. They would use their weapons with the maximum pace.

It was apparent that the cottage would also chase just like the wooden skeletons. So Junan brought Jake away to talk in peaceful place.

Woodcutter was trying to maintain the cottage then battle. Finally he could attack by remain hidden. Team members got busy. Albert was using spear. Whatever part of the stick got damaged the stick fell decreasing the amount of sticks on the cottage.

Slowly it turned troublesome because the cottage started perfect attacks. The supposed wooden hands were agile enough to beat Orin at his back. He was able to reach near. It did not sit well because the cottage enemy used more than six hands to attack. Orin got baffled. He was prepared for simple battle yet random hands kicking and slapping was more than terrible to begin with.

He wanted to cry but no tear came out. Someone dragged him away from the cottage enemy. It was more than favor. Clark dragged him. He was busy in fending off various attacks and happened to see him.

All of them were well aware that the team head wanted all of them intact from the big damage. This was possible as long as they keep helping each other whenever they fell in trouble.

So it was responsibility for everyone to not neglect or else they might face the rage of the team head and perhaps they will be replaced forcefully.

There was option in the clauses. If the owner of the team wanted to replace some player he could at the premise that the player was alive during the level and successfully completed. Later another player could take his placement.

There were two chances regarding this clause in the entire part of the portal not for each level. Of course no one would want to use it for petty reason.
