Bluecliff 5
Fifth quest
"There is no other option. The above ground is about to collapse. Save team members." Jake spoke out loud. He could see the warning of the task panel coming in real.
It could become their morgue if they did not hurry. Team head shouted at others to leave the underground area. Actually not all part of the area was under the ceiling.
Only this particular area where the creatures were forced to live instead of the forest was covered with the above ceiling. Clark and others ran toward the opening. The bright light of the day was coming from the left side.
When they entered through the entrance they were more like blind because of sparse light. The lit eyes of the creatures helped them. They were yet to start battle when team head ordered them to leave in hurry.
Jake held his shield to avoid the rocks. They were falling on their heads. Other team members were trying their best to save their skulls. The creatures sensed the place near to collapse they also started struggling to leave.
It made the situation in a grand mess. The creatures forgot that they were ordered to battle with the humans. All of them swarmed toward the exit.
The team members separated from each other. They could not keep track of their movements. The creatures perhaps got the situation. The zombie creatures standing at the last part were the ones stopping the first two groups of the creatures.
Zombie creatures were loyal with the Kaga so naturally they would not care their lives. Instead they were ready to stop others in their way.
It changed the situation terribly. Worse of all the first two groups started fighting against zombie creatures at the exit of the ceiling. It created trouble for the team members.
They were cramped under the swarm of creatures. Team head was fuming with fire to see this. He was about to attack with the sword and clear the creature standing in front and blocking his path but the rock fell. He barely saved his shoulder.
It would have given great deal of damage. Visible streak of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Now he was more than ever worried for the rest of the team members. Jake was following the warnings of the task panel. Task panel was efficient to let him avoid the rocks.
He was weakest player in the team according to general idea of the gaming because his controls were poor.
The exit was no safer place for team members. All creatures were fighting with each other. The rocks falling on them occasionally added their troubles.
The zombie creatures were reluctant but they were weak to stand for long. The kicking of the normal creatures injured half of them. Sashi was surrounded with the creatures. Some sharp wings created small cuts on her cheeks. It was due to the reason that her attention got distracted because of the rocks falling.
Clark was using hammer against creatures but then again he was helpless because of rocks. He was afraid that the rocks might damage his hp. Orin was in similar situation. He happened to see Sashi. She was messed between creatures and could not avoid from the rock. It barely held off from her head. Orin forcefully made way to reach near her and crashed the mace at the rock. It fell away from her.
"You came at the right time. Thanks." Her long range weapon was not helpful in killing the creatures. It was one of the worst part of the division of the ranges of the weapons.
Initially she did not take not of it but today she wanted to curse whoever put this restriction. "Goodness that I happened to notice when I was struggling with the scum creatures." Orin honestly spoke.
"If you are up then we can both fight our way and cross exit." Orin looked at her cheeks. The right part of the cheeks was bleeding slightly. The damage was done however they could work hard to avoid further damage.
"Sure we can attack collectively." She did not mind collaboration in fact she could tell that it would benefit both of them.
Clark happened to see Jake. His smooth actions to avoid the rocks made him go blank. It seemed the boy could predict the danger of the possible rocks fall.
There was another explanation of his actions. According to some rumors about the pro max players they were rumored to be born with exceptional senses.
Taking it aside if he talked about pro players, there were some who act like bots when it comes to the sensing of the danger. All was related with the senses. In case they lost their headphones they would look like stupids.
However there were pro max level players. Those layers could predict the danger and the action area. The actions of such players could not be justified with mere theory. The problem was that they never show up on the bigger scale. Their presence could bring chaos in the gaming world.
Clark was sure that many spectators would be looking at his actions and perhaps the enemies would be jealous of his presence in the team.
Thinking this Clark thought to make way toward the kid. In his eyes Jake was young and he was not aware about the results of his actions.
For Jake it was another matter. The priority was to keep hp safe and avoid from damage.
"Hey king-fisher." Clark called out from afar. King fisher was secret term used for such players. They were labeled as the threat so this term came in to being for who knows it was termed as mocking term or some proper reasoning was behind this naming.
Jake looked toward Clark. He was not sure what was king fisher however he could see Clark was looking at him.
"We both can pair for exit if you don't mind." Clark asked very gentlemanly. Jake blinked and immediately agreed.
He wanted to save the team members. The rush of the creatures was geeting in proper line so they could struggle for exit but worst came.
The hind part of the ceiling fell with blast.
