The Player's System

Whip

After some time they were ready to reach the first palace. Team members checked their weapons. The possible big boss could turn out hard bone of their throat in such scenario they should be ready to face the worst.

"Keep yourself alert. The first king is not outsider instead the king of this Empire. He must have lot of security men. Also I remember that he has the backing of some old master. That old master could create trouble for us. I do not know what is happening in the palace and the present situation. The Ashmorn is perhaps facing the anger of the king. In this situation our task has become excessively problematic. Two among you should wait for my gesture when confronting the king. We cannot kill him before rescuing the Ashmorn." Junan explained important part of the task.

During the task communication could potentially distract them or let the enemy take benefit.

"The long range attacks and the short range weapons should equally work with collaboration to meet the task. If necessary we will divide in pairs. The tears of Ashmorn in my possession might help us in time of trouble. I will try my best to use them wisely." Junan gave the initial planning.

His words set the straight line for the team members to follow for the certain task ahead. Junan made it compulsory to guide the team members to avoid the aggravation during the task and in the middle of the enemies.

"I understood." Clark spoke.

Others nodded. The palace was in front so there was nothing that they wanted to discuss or ask.

The garden in front of the palace was brimming with the white painted statues. They were walking just like soldiers. They blocked the path to reach the palace.

The three pylons at the front of the palace were occupied with the magic masters. They were alert and waiting for the arena runners. At the entrance of the palace the old master was standing. His ugly face showed how cruel he could be.

Half part of the face was covered with the black cover. The staff in his hand was emitting dark smoke. If compared the first palace was completely under the care of tough security and stronger magic guards.

The statues walking in the garden were enough to baffle the runners with the whip in their hands. Even if they got rid of them then they will be facing magic masters. They were cruel from their bones. They might use all of their magic skills to defeat the runners.

In case the arena runners killed them then they would not be able to face the old master. He was stronger among them all.

The king was sitting around the lit lamps. A five years old girl was confined in the iron chains and thrown on the ground. Her blood red eyes were silent now. Her scream was enough to capture the attention of the runner. Now she was waiting for them.

"I will sacrifice and feast on every drop of blood in your veins. Runners will never be able to reach you. They cannot defeat old master." The king was sitting under the circle his face hidden in the grey cover.

"Your ruby is the only power. It belongs to the Empire not you. I will kill you with the help of loyal Arena Runners. You will not be able to feast in the fortnight." The Ashmorn spoke in weak voice.

The chains were designed by the old master. He hated the Ashmorn girl so he designed these chains to torture her before sacrifice. His deliberate actions were the root of all evils.

The old master wanted to rule over the Empires. Knowing that Ashmorn was hindrance even if he killed the king old master planned to manipulate the greed of the king.

Now everything was set. He was waiting for the time when the king would kill the Ashmorn with the help of Ruby. The old master would kill the king too. In this way he would be able to get rid both. This plan was perfect but then he came to know that the Ashmorn called loyals for help.

Now he was waiting to kill those Arena Runners. The greed of the king made him believe the evil old master. He did not know that the old master was faking honesty and loyalty in front of him.

Jake and others walked in the direction.

As they reached near the garden they could clearly see the statues. "What is this?" Orin blurted. They remembered these statues. They were those who survived the weapons.

"Now we know when the statues disappeared they came here." Sashi was most dissatisfied. She was slightly regretful to let them in complete shape.

Team head was also surprised.

The statues were moving in the garden and repeating those words, 'Feast of kings'

"See they got weapon." Clark pointed. "Are they here to stop us?" He asked to confirm.

"What other reason could it be?" Albert answered. Team members could see the statues wielding whip like learned and professional trainer of the whips.

"This is going to be tough. Just destroy them and avoid the whip attack. If Sashi and Jake have some plan to follow they are free to do so. Others will use their weapons and smash the statues. Keep in mind we are entering in the area of last task so every whip damage could cost hp." Junan guided.

They were about to enter in the garden.

The garden was right front of the pylons. If they wanted to reach the entrance then they will clear the snags in their way. Sashi decided to pair with the young player. Her main weapon was long range however it has cool down after calculated number of arrows.

Jake also has the same problem. His gun has cool down time however he was safe to use grenades. Others also paired to make it easy battle.

They did not know the strength behind the attacks of statues so it was better to battle in pairs.
