The Player's System

Codes 4

The silence prevailed. The wild hounds groaned to look at the arena runners. They knew that the Duke did not grant any permission else there had been first code of the Flame tower.

The reserved guide that worked under the Duke was killed. He was given first code of the bells. The guide used to ring those bells in order to let the wild hounds know that their arrival was confirmed by the Duke.

From decades those bells were set as the first code. The old guide was killed and probably no one will be able to make the bells create specific sound.

From the expressions of the team members one could tell they were scorching on coals to destroy the tower after getting precious tear of the Ashmorn.

They wanted to give hell shock to the Duke.

"They are eyeing us. Get ready." Junan whispered. The wild hounds appeared one by one. They were looking aggressive. The dull black body and the huge stature was enough to create threat.

The nearest hound leapt at Orin. Orin and others were active. They were learned that the hounds would not let them enter inside the tower till the runners get rid them all. It was normal behavior for any npc they keep chasing tirelessly.

Orin moved a bit. He held his thorny mace. The mace brushed past when the hound attacked on him. It created little bruise on the hound. The capacity of the weapon and the attack ability of the enemy matched perfectly.

The sharp edges of the thorns were enough to give fatal injury in case the hound was not careful. The future ability of the weapon would shock everyone but it was all for future.

All current weapons were exploring the hp of the players. This hp started appearing in the second level in the bar of golden stat. This stat was reserved for the weapons.

The level one reward happened to be the increased ability of the thorns these became sharper and shiny. The hound shook huge head; Orin hated the liquid dripping from the mouth.

Team members kept the man in their circle. Jake got busy. He was using his gun and keeping his feet fixed on the rock. This helped him kept continue the slaughtering. At least two shots were necessary to kill a hound.

He made sure to shot twice in a row. This would save his bullets and the injured yet alive wild hound. "Man follow the younger player. He knew that injured enemy is more dangerous." Albert told Orin because Orin moved to another hound after injuring first.

Sashi wanted to cover her ears. The attack hissing of the hounds was not welcoming. It in fact distracted her. She wanted to focus while many hounds were circling around to capture them.

Sometimes hissing of two hounds mixed up making her confused. Ahram redid his chains with the small daggers. This sub-category tool was helpful when it needed. During the weapon selection he randomly picked set of several small daggers not knowing what he would do with them.

It was due to the reason that the assigned profession only opened the specific box of the weapons for him. He was obligated to select among them.

Adding daggers in the chain increased its attack ability. As soon as the hound tried to approach him and bite the chains circled around its body. Ahram pulled ruthlessly with specific gesture. The chained daggered ripped apart the abdomen and the hound fell from the rock.

There was agony in its eyes before the body turned cold.

The efficiency of the chain wondered Ahram. He was pleasantly surprised. In fact he started to like his profession. In one and half level he was able to grasp the usage of this chain weapon.

Now his feet were pushing him to move about. It was due to his profession. His attack methods should match his profession for stable ability.

Ahram changed his position and went toward Jake. The younger player was standing alone and using gun. He also checked the position of other team members.

They were experienced in most battle types. Team head was attacking hounds and keeping the man safe. Junan strongly felt that the hounds were large in numbers. Half of them were still hiding to ambush them.

His premonition was not wrong. The hounds were testing the capability of the Runners. They did not immediately show up and attack. First of all they remained hidden unless it was necessary.

The ambush could potentially harm team members at fast pace. This would spare them from effort of attacking from the rocks. In case they made cumulative attack then most of them would face the rocks.

It was still happening that two hounds attacked at the same time and when returned to stand on some rock the available space happened to be small on the rock stone. Resultantly they slipped from the height and injured their ribs.

It was advantage for the team members. They could see the worry of the wild hounds. Junan did not mind spending some time and clear them. At least it would save them from worrying that the hounds might chase them inside the tower.

Sashi was most out of this advantageous situation. To avoid the consumption of the arrows she was aiming vital parts.

She nailed down few of the attacks then looked at the team head. Team members could continue this battle for long however the man was injured.

Junan was busy to kill the wild hounds and he did not notice the dropping condition of the man. The man slowly sat on the rock. His breathing was getting unstable.

"Team head the living clue is dying." Sashi spoke out loud. Because of distance without her shout she could not earn the attention of the team head. Junan stabbed the sword in the hound then kicked its body. The dead body rolled down from the rock.

Junan turned to see the injured man.
