The Player's System

Chapter 49 - Sequence

Sequence

Jake pick the pouch. It was first attempt and he was nervous. He forked this idea so to keep the fast pace. The situation was tough. Long range weapons were limited while the lightening show proved bone in the throat. As long as they kept the pace, Jake was willing to do anything.

He threw the pouch in the air. Others held their breaths while Ahram used shovel to hit the pouch. It was quite horrible for them to imagine reverse actions rather the one expected and planned on the spot. The hit proved big hit. It fell at the fourth troops where creatures were standing in first row.

The ground here was shining lit. The lightening was dancing on the ground like desperate dancer that wanted to shine in the world of arts. The mix of white and red colors spread on the ground making it look like the lit floor. Right at this moment the pouch fell. The lightening reacted with the ammunition.

The waves traveled like the desperate horses to reach the destination.

Just that the destination was surrounding waves of the lightening together with the ammunition. It was not sparkle actually. Not at all. It was worst ever mutilation caused by the thunder. The lightening was the type of electro attack created frightening impact not just the ground but the first row of the creatures. The sequence immediately broke. No one at this moment remained motionless or slacking anymore. They knew that it was diamond chance. They were to avail it.

The first row of the creatures got killed. The electro lightening brought bloodcurdling screams from their throats before they blasted dead. Perhaps none of their bodies remained in one piece. Since the sequence was no more giving backing, the players were slaughtering their way. The creatures witnessed the situation at the first row.

The ogres were battling to stop the players. Jake Lin kept his attentions at the second row of the creatures. He was expecting them to immediately start the sequence or at least send some lightening balls as sign of the funeral of the first row.

They seemed confused whether to let the players walk through the broken gate or wait for their deaths as well. This was best situation for Jake Lin. There were only two rows remaining at the back end. Jake gestured Ahram. This player was talented and his hit make it possible his planning.

"If we throw another pouch at slightly different place it would stop the creatures from bragging in front of us. Are you ready?" Jake asked him. The team head and team members were clearing ogres. They were true players and perfectly fit in the team. " If you are confident then we can give it a try." Ahram shrugged his shoulders.

"Do we need to inform team head?" Ahram asked knowing the previous silent actions of the younger players. "Team head is busy and we are going to make way for them in advance. Also I think that the gate would disappear if we slowed down our pace." Jake added the last sentence just to make him listen.

He did not want to speak lie however his system was expecting him for tipping on the toes. It increased burden on his shoulders. Ahram nodded his head and got ready for the second hit.

"This place is not more suitable because the first row is now empty. We need to move forward for second hit." Jake suggested. Ahram was not coward or inexperienced for sudden assault of ogres. He was well versed in slaughtering among the bunch of enemies.

They walked ahead. This time team head noticed and spoke. "There is more danger. The creatures as well as ogres are getting aggressive. They are perhaps ready to create different strategy. Why you both going there?" Team head asked. "We are trying the clear the path ahead. It would make the enemies confuse how to stop us instead of making plans." Jake answered confidently as if he was hundred percent sure.

Junan blinked his eyes. The words of the younger players seemed logical. He was about to say something when bunch of ogres surrounded him. Jake found this chance to make up his pace. The time was nearing its end. The limited given time was strict and he could expect the said punishment if he failed.

Jake was most afraid to face the punishment. The second row of the creatures were organizing to stop the path. They again started the lightening sequence. This time on bigger scale. The ogres were no more in front instead they were standing at the right and left.

Ahram looked at Jake. Now that he witnessed the second row and its strategy, he regretted wasting time on asking questions. Jake heaved deep breath. The sequence was again there. Team head was standing speechless in fact he was worried because the lightening increased its range. This was worse than before.

The creatures were directly standing to face them with the lightening rain. This was simple. The way these creatures were holding this skill, it was not unexpected that they could shower lightening at the players. "Shielman should get ready. As for the ground I don't know what to do to tackle. Our weapons can potentially harm us if we used them to break the sequence." Junan spoke dejected.

Jake found this chance to add up his suggestion. "Team head I once again wanted to break the sequence however allow me advance to keep the sequence broken." He confidently stated. Junan did not think twice. It was simple and easy to understand. The younger player needed perfect time and place for attack.

"You should go ahead and let us pass the broken gate. The lightening creatures are growing fiercer. I don't want to remain stuck in the second broken gate." Junan waved his sword and answered. With his words none of them objected the decision.

They knew that they could not battle forever. The advancement was necessary else the time limit would die down along their chance for second level.
