Chapter 40 - Dare It

Dare it

The direction of the attack was not different. One by one all attacks met the bullets half way through. Now that it was apparent that he was under the eye of the eyeless serpent, Jake remained alert about possible attack. He could not pick up the attacker among the troops so currently he could only render useless those attacks. 

All of the team members were busy and on tight hands. No one could take risk of dividing the attention. The ground filled with the dead bodies, almost six troops were killed until now. 

Presently no one was counting the numbers of remaining troops. Jake threw another grenade in the middle of the thirteenth troop. It brought chaos once again. Most of the troops were at much distance and the players could slowly reach to them after creating mountains of dead bodies. 

It was slow process and they might take rest of the three days doing so. Junan felt the blasts and got satisfied. In his eye the kid was smart to make this decision. The team members in this team were much different from the rest of two teams. They were here for the money in return of battling for the level while the team members of this team was here for the level purely. 

The difference was not just this simple. They were those who got influenced by the recent events in the gaming world. Five of them were here to take revenge from the organizers of the game portal while two were selected to make the perfect team. 

No one knew each other before the team was selected, only the CEO of the 'Sovereign Rulers' was aware and he intentionally kept them in the first team, after much thought the team got enrolled for the first level. The CEO wanted to test their grounds and the level of vengeance brewing in their hearts. 

He knew the most renowned fact that nothing could defeat a person when he has vengeance to carry on until it was taken in the right amount. He collected necessary information about them in the back end. This helped him decide the choice of players in this team. 

Not just Jake was affected by the recent events but many gamers suffered huge losses, not only the losses of assets but reputation and personal positions. They were here to slap on the face of the organizers and snatch their position for vengeance. 

Their sole purpose was to cross level and build up their reputation in the gaming world through this game portal. The ongoing battle got intense because of the blasts. The eyeless serpent was agitated. Still there were so many troops in between the distance however it was troublesome to wait for the end. 

Jake could only wish that the serpent should not use shingle. For serpent it was impossible to cover bigger battle ground so it did not use shingle with the fact that it was no more sported by the Python itself. The four players moved forward stepping on the mountain of the dead bodies of the ogres. 

Sashi and Ahram also changed their position. Lot of hp was being used in this battle. Now Junan started feeling that they might not be able to face another battleground if the last serpent tried to use the same method. No matter how much experienced they were or how sharply they could handle the controls still they were players not the demons with several hands. 

Jake could feel the rising tension. If this went on then they might be cornered soon. The circumstances bluntly exposed that they would face defeat in this battleground. It was not good for the rest of the level. Jake came down from the roof top after making choice of his next place for attacks. 

His intentions were to decrease burden from the four players. They were core players for the stability of the team. Sashi was confused as to why he was heading toward the danger zone. Practically speaking, this young player could not directly face the ogres in bigger scale in her eyes. 

Someone needed to provide him cover. She was on important task and could not leave her place right then and there. Jake knew what he was going to do. He was going to use dynamite away from the core players and in the middle of the troops. 

This time he decided to not stand directly instead remain flat on the roof top so that the blade attacks should not pass near or harm. Jake hurried before the serpent could notice, he reached the position. This position was away from the team and near the ogres. The cottages were everywhere so it was easy to select one for his task. 

After taking position, he started throwing the dynamite and using bullets for blast. Previously he was throwing grenades after intervals or with utmost care, now he was like raining it on their heads. Twenty over troops got the damage. 

Jake after doing this hid his head and fell flat. The cool down started and there was no need to remain in the range of any attack. His chosen place and the blast kept him in the safe zone. The sudden brutal attacks changed the scenario in the battleground. 

Earlier the team was worried for the possible defeat. After the twenty over troops got severe damage, the ogres were no more enthusiastic for winning. Because of the chaotic situation they could not tell the attack direction leaving them in confusion. 

When Orin saw the turned over battle scenario, he took deep breath of relief. His heart was telling him that today was bad day and he might not be able to stand in this battleground. The broken hope revived. The four leading players got more courage to keep the battle at its pace. 

They knew the smart kid was going his job perfectly. Sashi got worried because huge distance was taken away. She needed to hurry and attack the eyeless serpent since the chaos was not subsided yet.
