Chapter 145 - Peak

Peak

The demons were three so it was all the same for the team members. They were battling with them. The switching of the weapons created similar trouble for the demons.

"These demons are robotic. Perhaps the magic attendant is not well versed in the magic skill." Orin spoke seeing the demon falling on the ground.

The demons were bigger in size so it took some time to get rid them. They disappeared in the air after the fall. The thorny mace was enough to kill them.

Now it was time for the breaking of the cuff. Clark did not need the gesture of the team head. He jumped down in the pit and searched the cuff. The structure and the appearance were same. This let him spot it easily.

With few attempts the cuff broke and the ground jerked again killing the magic attendant.

…

Soon they were at the third corner of the ground. The evening fell. The whole day they were busy one after the other task. Still they were busy clearing the thri corner. When Clark broke the cuff there was brief moment of earthquake for him.

He barely held on the surface to jump out of the pit.

He was slightly scared thinking that the ground might collapse in real.

How at the fourth corner all of them were forced to battle with the demons. It was evening and the eyes of the demons started sparkling. Junan brought out the tear for enough light to let them battle with the demons. Demons got immensely scare to see the tear. It belonged to the Ashmorn and Ashmorn was born to kill the dark demons. Though the energy was unstable still it was threatening for their life.

They fell weak in front of the team members. This made it easy for the team members to kill them.

Clark jumped in the pit to break the cuff however the ground started shaking. After the death of three magic attendant and the fourth attendant got injured because the demons fell dead, the cuff was unable to keep it stable anymore.

Clark immediately came out. All of them did not notice that they were standing inside the patch of the ground.

The ground started shaking badly. They were yet to think sanely when the ground could no more maintain the palace under the surface.

They upper surface got dusted off and they saw themselves standing on the pylon of the palace. The palace appeared on the surface. It was evening and the king was sitting among the lit lamps.

He has nowhere to hide and secure his life however the team members were at the peak of the palace. Ahram saw Sashi slipped from the pylon because she was at the edge. He flipped his chain and the daggers unchained then he jumped to stop her.

The chain remain fixed on the edge and he was able to catch her. Sashi was scared. She did not want to die this way. It would bring humiliation for her. Battling did not kill her instead her feet slipped from edge.

For her it was worse than to die in the hands of npc.

"You are in hurry to reach the king and kill him." Ahram side smiled to tease her. Her cheeks flushed red. She was glad that Ahram saved her from humiliation. She was experienced pro player. The useless death was not good for her.

"I don't want to kill him without you." She answered. Ahram blinked. He was not expecting her to answer politely. Sashi was not friendly with male players. She only focused on the orders of the team head.

"Sure we will…" Ahram brought her up and answered. Team head breathed in relief. The team was about to face loss of player.

Junan looked in the surrounding. They were standing at the peak of pylon. To reach the inner side of the palace they need to descend down from the pylon.

"Can your chain bring us down at the ground?" Junan asked Ahram. With the specific profession Ahram could use ability of the weapon however it was not in advanced form.

"Let me calculate the distance." Ahram bent to check the distance. This pylon was huge. The chances were slim that they could use same chain for descending down.

Ahram looked at the neared pylon. It was not the same size. "If I fix the chain at the second pylon and hold it here then all team members would take support and reach at the other pylon. From there it will be easy to descend down." Ahram gave his suggestion after thinking properly.

Junan checked if the plan would work. It was better than descending straight. "Then go ahead." Junan ordered to complete the job. Ahram sprinted toward the second pylon and fixed the chain firmly then he returned.

One by one all of them went down at the second pylon. Jake was worried because he was holding the chain with one hand. "We both can descend down at the same time.

"The ride would tough. Hold me tightly." Ahram advised. Jake held him and the reached at the second pylon. The ride was tough because Ahram used his feet to take support from the pylon and gave jerk. Jake slipped a bit however they were able to reach the ground.

This way Jake was the first one to reach at the front of the palace.

The other team members took the support of the chain and descended one by one. It was safe landing for all of them.

The entrance of the palace was lit however there were no lamps instead the white painted statues that they witnessed in the first palace too.

They were repeating the similar words 'Feast of Kings'

Clark smashed few of them but saw the expressions of the team head. "The king must be waiting for us." Junan gestured them to hurry. In his eyes there was no use in breaking these statues. "At least let me break half of them." Clark pleaded.

Junan waved his hand. Sashi also joined in breaking because she was suspicious about the previous statues.. They disappeared after the team members killed the king.
