The Player's System

Chapter 63 - Dead

Dead

It was fairly equal to increasing their troubles. The tail was almost severed to its full extent, however, the Cobra was nowhere near to accept its defeat. It leapt toward Orin again to kill him since he had the lowest hp. Junan hurriedly attacked it and captured its attention.

Losing a team member could result in the worst outcome. Sashi and Jake once again used their attacking skills to stop the Cobra. Clark found this chance favourable and attacked from behind. The Cobra's back skin got ripped open like an overripe fruit when it falls to the ground. The Cobra convulsed with this sharp attack of the blade.

"Jake, I think the stone is concealed around its jaw." Ahram looked at the Cobra's jaw and commented.

"If it is around the jaw then we will attack at the face. I will distract it and you can make sure that it is there." The huge Cobra was writhing in pain which had the team members worried that the poisonous liquid from the mouth might fall on them.

Jake also barely saved his stature with the help of a single shield. They had to avoid the liquid poison along with the twisting huge body which could easily crush them. The Cobra had intentionally targeted Orin first and then Sashi during this brawl.

Sashi hurried to relocate and hide behind the shield. Albert once again became extra vigilant after noticing the Cobra's suspicious activities. He was trying his best that none of the liquid poison drops fell on any of the team members.

According to the present level of the hp, one pounce of the Cobra could kill any player except Jake. Jake had managed to save more than half of his hp up till now.

Though he was actively taking part in physically harmful fights, the other team members were always providing him with chances to remain behind. It was due to his intellectual efforts during the struggle period of each encounter.

His single attack provided them benefits far more as compared to the overall attempts of the rest of the members. Ahram threw the chain in order to check whether they should maim the Cobra to get the precious stone.

"I got the gleam, it is there." Ahram's eyes were wide open as if hypnotised by the gleam. He was breathing heavily and whispering lightly due to the nervous excitement that was bubbling through his nerves.

He wanted to shout at the top of his lungs due to excitement but that could alarm the clever Cobra. So, instead, Ahram cocked his eyebrows toward the stone to let Jake know of its location. Jake finally felt relief in ways he couldn't explain. They would get that stone no matter how difficult it gets. The Cobra was still alive even after all this torture. He was surely one strong giant but that didn't mean they would lose hope.

Jake started to calculate and analyse the situation at hand.

"Wait, earlier," He bit his lower lip and raised his eyebrow, "the Cobra was at full strength but now its strength must have fairly decreased. Probably around half of what it was before. I should try once again with the bullets." And, Oh Boy! was he right. There was a difference, indeed.

Now that Cobra reached half of its health, the previously nonworking weapons could also bring a better damage level.

"You can try else the chain might not bring the desired damage. The daggers holding the chain might skip the target." Ahram suggested with a satisfied grin appearing on his face.

His intention was to damage the face in the first two or three attacks since the Cobra was busy with the other team members. This would decrease the amount of toil for others. "You are right. I will test once the weapon cools down completely." Jake admired the way Ahram was collaborating. His heart surged with happiness at the thought of a friend having his back and considering him as a strong individual. His schoolmates had destroyed his confidence. He shook his head to throw away the painful memories and focus on what is in front of him.

Rational decisions could always bring a positive impact on the overall struggle. Jake knew that gamers played with fierce enthusiasm. It was wonderful that he was here to win and not get bashed by the surprises designed by the developers. His train of thoughts was broken down as the weapon showed that it had completely cooled down.

"In case the Cobra rolled toward us. You will try your best to maintain the distance or step back if things mess up slightly." Jake spoke his concerns.

"Sure, I am ready." Ahram patted his right shoulder. Jake held the gun and waited for the right moment when the Cobra moved its face while trying to capture Sashi. It opened its huge mouth for the first time and they got chills of horror. There were millions of sharp teeth shaping up his mouth, The rancid poisonous saliva was ready to drip all over them.

Fortunately, Jake took aim at the lower spot in the face. The stone was hidden there. He did not stop until there were no more bullets left. Fortunately, the damage unsealed the stone and injured the Cobra.

Ahram anticipated an appearance of a big hole with the bullets. The stone rolled from the body and the huge face trap shut. The liquid poison stopped drooling around.

The team members got some rest with this outcome. Ahram hurriedly caught the stone before the huge body of the Cobra fell on it. The other team members were looking at them.

Jake heaved a sigh of relief. He was initially unsure whether the bullets would succeed but he went with his instinct. At least it brought the waving huge body on the ground. Perhaps Cobra was on its last struggle. It shook the huge body and the partition between two paths crumbled.

It blocked their path. They were not worried about what the Cobra did, instead, they were looking as to who should attack. Orin was at the lowest point of hp.

Junan looked at all of them and asked, "Do all of you agree to give the last attack to Orin?" Junan spoke. It would help him regain at least half hp. They looked at each other and nodded.

Though Albert and Sashi were also nearing the red line, they willingly let Orin take the chance. Orin made the last attack and killed the Cobra.

Jake was satisfied with the way team members acted sober and decided before doing the deed. In fact, he was quite impressed with the team head. It was a matter of guts to let others take chance when he himself was no different and needed hp.

Ahram was also thinking the same. Absolutely there were no similar examples in the history of gaming where others sacrificed their chance for the deserving one.

(The spectators were awe shocked to see this. There were thousands of players watching along with the general audience. Their mouths fell on the floors after seeing this. In their eyes, this team was bent on writing new history in the gaming world. However, they were sure that in the upcoming levels the unity of the team would definitely crumble in front of the personal motives. For this, spectators were ready to witness the upcoming changes.)

Presently Junan wanted the team to remain complete.. He was leading this team and had a clear notion of the organizers. He was after all boss of the number one guild in the 'Sovereign Rulers'
