Chapter 280 - Scratches

Scratches

As the idea stuck, Ahram understood. However it was still strange. None other ability acted this way. Rest of four abilities submitted to the players as efficiently as it could.

"For me things turned problematic. I would have questioned if there is anyone to give answer." Ahram bent at the side to take a look at the active chains.

He silently sneaked toward Junan, "Since when did the abilities start acting arrogant? Who is keeping it active? Who is the player?" He did not get any gesture from team head.

Junan was restricted also he was not sure whether his words could give proper help in this situation. The current scenario pointed the blunt actions of the ability, they could ignore if the ability was active or it has some kind of self-awareness: the question was how they should tackle it.

Ahram saw the team head silent. There were times when the player has individual responsibility to solve his trouble. Team head or the team members cannot always handle the shit of tasks.

Ahram sighed then thought to use his chain as defense and attack. Without thinking bigger conclusion or the results of his actions, he decided to just do it and see.

The problem with other team members was strange, they tried to get rid the chains yet they tightened around the feet and legs. Not just tightened, it gave them damage. It was frightening. They were sure that the rate of damage was higher than direct battle.

It means the chains has the power to ashame them in the least. They noticed that the chains didn't give damage when they stopped efforts to get rid it. They saw Ahram and shook their heads with dejection.

Junan sat on the ground. In his struggle he lost much hp and exp. "This is terrible. The limitless players are seriously toyed in this live portal. I would start campaign once this portal ends." His forehead veins popped up because of damage.

There were international rights for the players of games. They could report about the games and their lawless game rules. The players should remain sane after playing games or else the young generation would face the intellect damage.

From their expressions Ahram understood that it would be impossible for them to give some help.

They stood at different part of the corridor looking at the enchained chains.

They faced several moments of insane difficulty level yet this one surpassed, why because they were completely restricted. "Man it will be your battle. I can see the ability want the player to fight for it. There is no other explanation of this situation." Albert spoke. Regardless of the problem, they keep stick to the most pressing issues: here it was to play solo for ability.

Ahram nodded. He was not disappointed. The amount of trouble has yet to meet his limits. He thought to start attacking and see the reaction of the chains.

As his struggle came to halt, the chains were calm. Ahram took advantage and snapped his chain toward the nearest silent chain.

The dagger dug in the extensions of the chain. Ahram pulled his weapon chain. This method left some scratches on the chain. Ahram flashed his eyes. It was strange. Apparently his weapon chain and the other chain has similar level of the material.

The possibility for damage was nearly impossible however here his chain easily gave damage to the other. "I think the daggers have some worth in this battle." Ahram squinted his eyes. He looked at his weapon, " You can rock your existence. Tell the underlings who is the real boss. The daggers are your advantage." He was talking to his weapon making the onlookers think he was near to give up.

He fell flat on the ground and then suddenly stood up with the sprint. "I will hunt one by one." He threw the weapon at another chain giving it severe scraches.

The scratches for the chain were similar of injuries for the player. And these injuries reduce the efficiency. Similar way the chains after getting real time scratches lost its active status. It neutralized the first part of the strength.

Ahram attacked like there won't be another day. He was hundred percent sure about the grudge of the ability. "Where are you arrogant ability. Let me tell you I am here to capture you for the rest of levels. Come in front of me and battle like a man." He yelled after damaging another chain.

He used the walls of the corridor for attack. In case he remained on the ground for longer moments then the chain could again make him lick the dust on the ground.

His sprint ability surpassed because of his profession. He was like the bat flying under the cave. Half of the chains got the damage.

It was enough to let him breath in relief. His attention was fixed to reach the opening at the left. It was the place where the chains appeared first.

"Tell me how many are left at the back?" He asked one of the chain. The chain might have answered if it has tongue.

Albert was near he appreciated how Ahram was attacking with the comfort of his style. "Ask it about the boss. What are the plans of the ability? Also warn them to not act like girlfriend." Clark shouted to support Ahram.

Ahram turned and nodded, "Sure bruh! It should start giving answers or else face my weapon." Ahram gave another series of attacks.

The chains were able to dodge half of them. These were organizing again to throw the player on the ground however the Lock was broken in half. It lost half strength against the player.

It was high time for Ahram to barge in the opening door. Only few chains were crawling but unable to capture the player.

With first lock broken, the second lock got active. The small Hall was covered in the darkness. It was hard for anyone to see through out of it.

The second lock was different than the first. Several chains were in pieces. Each piece was utterly cold and freezing just like ice cube.

This decreased the temperature of the Hall since it underground so there were less openings for the fresh air. The stinky rotten smell coupled with the Cold temperature added extravagant vile charm. And it was darkness there. Ahram came back.

He has nothing to see in the dark Hall. "I need something to lit the dark Hall." He came toward Junan. Junan looked toward Sashi. Sashi picked her lit weapon which resembled ladybird.

After Junan broke first lock, the team members were set free however they were not allowed to interfere in the battle. They knew that something bad would happen giving them damage in case they acted smart.

Sashi walked with him. She activated her weapon in order to provide light in the hall. This was least she could do as team member.

For Ahram it was more than enough. As the light spread, the pieces of the chains reflected tiny stars of the light. The pieces of the chain were not only cold also in crystal form of ice.

"Such strange chain portions. Would not they melt?" Ahram murmured under his breath. The scattered pieces of ice chain took most part of the Hall. Ahram felt he was surrounded by the invisible enemy.

Sashi didn't comment. What they were facing had strong impact on the advance levels. She could tell that the abilities were not normal. They had their special space in the levels.

Only the reluctant players could get them and use in the battles. There were mysterious abilities as well. For example Arrow Dust and the Mace Whore. The host of the ability would have to learn the usage of the ability or it would be waste of effort to get it.

The shining ice pieces in the shape of chain portions floated in front of Ahram. They seemed observing the player.

"What do you want?" Ahram asked as usual. He kept asking from lifeless material in hope to get answer. The pieces in front slammed against his chest as soon as he questioned.

It was the test of his caliber. The freezing cold pieces got angry again. "Shut it, it was just a question." Ahram bent. This sudden attack gave him damage.

Each time he asked something, these things attacked him. He was stumped. "I guess you do like questions. Let me answer you then." Ahram winced.

He was running the wiled horses of his brain in order to make some plan. The previous attacks were not feasible the icy chain was several parts.

His sprint would not help because the small pieces already showed up the strength. He was in the middle of his thoughts when the first team spotted team members.

The first team saw the opening of the door, they sneaked each other.. They could see that two team members of the third team were missing.
