Chapter 208 - Black Camp 4

Black Camp 4

Jake hurried and reached the second last camp. The camp at the distance was facing some attacks, it was good while the camp near him was silent.

He was unsure who could be inside this camp however it could be troublesome if the player was confined by the ogres.

He walked near the camp and tried to listen but it was densely packed. Jake picked his dagger to kill the ogres from outside. However he was thrown away. The dagger was secondary weapon and could not kill the real bosses.

Jake was reluctant to use the gun. He was sure that the ogres built camp layers. The bullets might not be able to pierce the first layer in the first attempt.

The secondary weapon was useless.

He was about to go and bring team head however he received warning.

[The player inside the black camp would die soon.]

[The boss is using the force of the card of Theola.]

[Using up all force would destroy the card as well as kill the player.]

Warning appeared. Jake looked around. It turned out dangerous situation. It was tough decision. Knowing the thickness of the layers and the size of the camp he decided to use the grenade.

It was highly likely that the player was surrounded with the strips so the impact would not directly damage his hp. well he was already under the danger so there was less time to think proper way.

In case the player got serious damage then the team would face drawback in the current reputation. If compared with the ammunition pouch the grenade has lesser range and blast force. Making some calculations Jake took deep breath and picked the grenade.

His actions were not slow but he wished that he should have taken permission from the team head. Anything was possible. In case his decision turned wrong then the player might face the impact and they might not be able to get the card.

Not collecting the card meant that they would not be able to open the Theola Box filled with the level perks and the special increment in the abilities.

Jake felt the sweat pouring on his forehead. Just few moments could turn the tide of peaceful scenario. Third team could face damage, they could lose the card.

But the time was short for any decision. Grenade blasted and sapped the densely packed ogres and most of them got killed from the blast point.

Jake was ready to use single shield and smash it against the sapped layer of ogres when his eyes fell at Orin.

Orin came out of the black camp and happened to watch the younger player. He ran toward Jake to give him helping hand. Jake noticed and stopped. "Help breaking this dead part of the layer." He hurriedly asked Orin.

Orin nodded and the thorny mace removed the layer. It created enough space for both to enter inside the black camp.

Clark was still moving on the ground to get rid the strips but he was confined. The ogres were sucking his blood and the hp was dropping slowly. His face turned pale as if his blood was drying up. Orin and Jake saw the situation they did not know how the bulky Clark got in trouble however they ran to clutch off the strips.

Orin got busy in removing the strips while Jake fired all those who tried to attack. Orin twitched when he removed from the face. The good looking face of the bulky Clark was riddles with the small dots of blood.

Perhaps the dangerous strips were very sure to kill the player.

Clark saw the life saver Orin and Jake. His half of hp dropped also the body was showing how brutally the enemies tried best to kill him.

Jake received another notification. The ogres saw the other players came to save the team member. They thought to silently leave with the card. The outside layer of the ogres that survived the attack of the blast folded the card carefully and crawled.

It was silent movement. The strips shifted the card without bringing the notice of two players. Jake might have remained oblivious but the warning of the task panel gave him direction to stop the ogres.

Once the ogres left the quest area the team members would not be able to get the card.

Jake ran outside of the camp and spotted the silent enemies. He fired at the tail of the crawling body.

According to the apparent and visible look the card was moving at the front part completely covered while the rest of part looked like tail.

Jake wanted to laugh at the foolishness of the ogres. It was visible where could be the card hidden. He fired and half of the tail got damaged.

The strips lost control on the card and stopped moving. Jake used dagger to unfold the grip of the dead ogres.

He picked the card that was saved right before the enemies could steal. Orin was able to remove the strips. Clark stood up slightly staggering. His hp was not at safe level.

He was void of any expressions. Clark did not speak anything. In normal times he might have cursed to his heart content but for now he was silent.

At some point he felt that he would die in the darkness without any team member knowing his plight. Sometimes he liked his hammer weapon but at this moment he wanted to throw it away.

The hammer did not help in breaking the black camp walls. He was disappointed. Earlier he thought that keeping the same profession would not be bad for future levels but now his thoughts changed much.

He was no more interested in the present weapon. Clark decided that he would choose different type of weapon or just change the profession.

But it would take another two levels before he could get the choice to do so. Till then he was bound to use the same weapon.

Orin patted his shoulder. They came out of the broken camp.. It was time to handover the card to the team head so that he could collect it in the inventory.
