Chapter 127 - Mountain Beast

Mountain beast

The red dust increased as they were nearing toward the tower. There was no one in the surrounding to stop them. "We will climb this mountain and check how to reach tower." Few meters peak part of the tower was visible in the middle of the mountain center.

Over the years the upper layers of the mountain hardened later it became dusty. Climbing over a normal mountain was different than the soft an dusty.

Their feet struggled to keep it fixated. All of them used their weapons as support. This reduced their effort. Jake held his dagger and climbed.

Junan reached the peak of the opening. He could easily walk around because the place was enough he casted glance at the players and then at the peak of tower. Others were moving climbing.

If they wanted reach the opening of the tower then they should descend inside the mountain and enter in the tower.

Junan thought to wait let them all climb up. He was looking at the peak of the tower when he noticed shadow. The bright light fell at the beast and it created shadow at the opposite side.

"Think about devil and it is here." Junan was curious how come Labona tower was without any security. There was security of beast. The beast could see through darkness nonetheless the source of light was advantageous too.

The dust red color hair on its body shook as it moved toward team head. Team members reached near. All of them found it small place for confronting beast at once. At most two of them could stand and confront. Junan gestured others to stay behind.

He decided that only two would battle and kill the beast. Team head gestured Albert. They remained in front and the rest of them retreated on the opening of the mountain.

Ferocious beast attacked at them with the front legs. Albert ran and used his spear. Limited space played part. Albert staggered and the spear could not meet target. Beast did not face any worry because it was living here for so long. Junan stepped ahead and used his sword in order to save Albert.

Albert calculated his steps. It was difficult to maintain the available space. However after knowing that he should not stagger during attack it was more than necessary to keep the steps in mind.

The beast retreated seeing the big sword shining in front. Albert found time to attack again. The beast did not show any specific skill that means it was normal beast. No one anticipated that runners would able to reach this far so they did not create extra layer of security.

Seeing that runners were becoming stronger the security was retreating toward the central city. King was getting worried at their advancement. He called all types of the security in the central city to kill the runners. He did not want to die cursed death or get defeated from runners.

However slowly fear crawled in his heart he tried his best to get rid this fear but could not. Other two kings received the news. They asked permission from the king to personally meet and decide how to get rid runner nonetheless the king refused to see them before rituals.

He was confined in his palace. The king was sure that in three days runners would not be able to reach the Orlenia Palace. This was enough to perform the rituals. The preparations for the fortnight were done. The Ashmorn was under strict gazes of the king.

Her silence irritated him nevertheless he was not going to change his mind. Ashmorn was silent because she was happy that the arena runners were defeating all hurdles. She was hundred percent sure that runners would break in the Orlenia Palace before the rituals.

Albert this time took extra care during attack. The beast retreated however Albert kept cornering it. The spear brushed past the face. Junan called Ahram. He wanted him to walk at the other side of the beast so that it should not find way during attacks.

Attack from both sides could end the battle soon. Ahram ran on the edges of the mountain and reached at the opposite side. This time Albert moved ahead for the attack Ahram also threw his chain toward the beast. The beast could not make attack instead the dagger chain stopped its feet.

The beast groaned with agony. Albert found time and thrust the spear more than once. The beast rolled from the mountain. It was alive but unable to attack or stop them.

"Hurry the rest time is nearing. We should collect the second tear before it." Team head beckoned them. They had been playing for long. They ignored one previous rest time option. Now they tired.

Without rest they might feel their head spinning. Team members descended the mountain slowly. The steep was quite dangerous.

The opening of the tower was as simple as it could be. With the death of the mayor things became easier for them. The mayor was potential enemy that could harm them. Jake made it right choice to kill him. The task panel gave extra amount of Exp for this task.

His level left slight amount of Exp to reach level four. From then on there will be three levels. At level seven he could unlock the shop option. Jake was eager to buy something with extra rewards. From the way task panel give quests it was clear that the shop option would add up some ease in his controls. His expectations were high.

Jake slowly walked down from the mountain. All of them stood in front of the opened gate. "Be alert…" Junan ordered. It was compulsory. They did not want to get confined in some trap because of ignorance.

Those in-game traps were never appealing. And for this live quest game they could expect something brutal. The small cube was placed in the empty space of the wall. Junan picked it. The tear transported them in front of third tower.

A man was holding sword at the neck of native.
