The Player's System

Chapter 259 - Bang

Bang

As the first team retreated they thought to search another section. "Wait we retreated just like that. Do you think third team only wanted to scare us?" The player of the team asked.

Team members flashed their eyes. Immediately they understood that they committed grave mistake. "It is high chance that they were there for the haunted object." Team head griped his hand on the tilt of the sword. The other team member nodded, "If they were there for the haunted object then..." He deliberated before speaking what was brewing in his head.

Team head gritted his teeth, "True. The portrait itself is the haunted object or else there was no reason for the third team to come and glare us. Do you remember they hardly give attention to the opponent teams." "We should stay behind and confirm." He gestured them to follow.

...

"Before they realize their mistake and come back let's get the portrait and flee." Junan chuckled. He was hundred percent sure that the first team would stop at some point and think about it. "They pondered over it yet slightly late." Clark commented, he picked the portrait from the row and handed it to the team head.

"I hate this portrait but I want to take a look. That's why I should destroy it. "Junan used the tip of his sword and ruined the portrait. He threw it on the ground and stabbed the sword. After it became trash, they heard the announcement.

(Congratulations, the third team cleared the Art Gallery. An ability called 'Hammer Soul' is being released in the Art Gallery. Good Luck.)

All three teams heard the announcement. First team personally witnessed. They saw how the team head of the third team destroyed haunted portrait. They wanted to curse them but it was no use crying over spilled milk.

"We can take revenge by getting the ability first. Hurry ask the book of detection." The team head of the first team ordered his team member.

Junan and his team members heard. They were unable to express their current distress, "What shit is this? We destroyed the haunted object and they told others to get the ability. Do the organizers want to see bloodbath in the level four?" Junan lost his temper. They were enthusiastic about the ability however the expected bang would bring trouble.

Clark was hell shocked. Just from the name of the ability one could tell, this ability was solely created for HammerHull profession."I will see if there is clue." Orin hurriedly opened book of detection.

"The ability is hidden in the Art Gallery. The real HammerHull can get it." Orin read it and looked toward Clark. "Do you think you are real HammerHull?"

His question fueled Clark, "What do you think, who else could it be? See how my hammer thirsty for the blood." Clark waved his hammer in the air. Junan interrupted, "There is two more HammerHull in the first and second team. Hurry so that we could reach it first." He beckoned them.

They agreed. The book of detection did not point any specific location so they should not waste time. "Okay we will start our search from the first section and keep running untill we find it." Junan led them toward first section. First and second team also made some preparations in order to tackle any situation.

It was possible that all three teams end up in front of each other. For third team it was only one chance. The biased world would not give them second chance in case they lost.

They eagerly ran toward second section, Albert and Jake running in the subsections to keep the track. Sashi gave them cover. Her arrows could damage opponents without destroying anything in the museum unless she was careless and the arrow hit some portrait.

There was nothing noticeable in the three sections. The team ran toward fourth and fifth while Albert and Jake entered in the subsections. They were in such a hurry that Albert banged his head against of the player from the opponent team while crossing subsection. It was so that the players of the second team caught the sight of glowing item floating in the middle of subsection.

"Albert shouted loudly, "We caught it in the seventh subsection." He shouted in order to inform other team members. Clark looked at the team head and hastily ran toward the said place.

Junan knew that none of his players would do stupid actions to get the profession ability.

...

Albert and the player glared each other. "We finally met each other." The player of the second team laughed. Albert shook his head. He was not in a habit to beat about the bush when it was working time. He asked in high tone, "Sashi how many arrows you can shoot in one go? I know you are ready to pierce the skull but tell me first." Albert let them know that he was prepared.

"Three in one go." They heard short reply from the rough girlish voice. Albert rose up his brows to look at the opponent. His bald head along with puffy brows made it perfect combination of fighter character.

The player did not speak anything, later his team members came and joined. They were not ready to let go this profession ability right from their hands. In the meantime Clark and others came in the view.

Now both teams were facing each other while the profession ability floating in the air. For third team it was 'get it peacefully or snatch it it forcefully.' The team head of the opponent team gestured his player. He didn't want to speak and let the third team act accordingly.

One of his team player has gun with him and he was eager to use it at the opponent. They knew that destroying the things in the museum could cater punishment for them however the player was sure of his aim accuracy.

Albert sensed the instinct of action and immediately spread the shield.
