The Player's System

Inner doors

Knowing that inner doors were closed Junan needed Orin and Clark to break open. Their weapons were suitable for this purpose. The inner palace and the corridors were winding.

Team head tried to look outside of the windows but those were locked. Perhaps the king was seriously afraid of the light. Lack of bright day light made the inner dull and dim.

The dullness added to the feeling of haunted place. Probably it was due to the reason that the current resident of the palace was cursed. His presence spread his ominous cursed aura.

The guard stopped in front of a door, "From here we can enter the inner halls. King uses one of the hall for spending the night in the middle of hundred over lit lamps. If you do not want to wait till night then you will cross those three halls and reach the trench. Presently king will be in the deepest trench because today it is full bright day." The guard explained.

Team head understood how they will reach the deepest trench. For sure he gestured all of them because right after entering in the halls they will be surrounded with the security.

Their entrance would be equal of deadly enemies coming to kill the king. The security would not spare any effort. The crafted door looked hard to break.

It was thick in stature so naturally they were going to take little time. Clark and Orin stepped ahead. They started slammed their weapons at the door. The first few attacks did not budge the door not even damaging the paint.

The iron pleated engravings on the door created echoes at every attack. This was enough to alert the inner security.

Clark hammered first and then Orin followed. They were attacking in collaboration. The thorny mace made some dent on the door while the hammer weakened the structure.

After some time the door lost its durability and collapsed. There was no one outside so Junan gestured the guard to remain behind. Runners entered blatantly inside the first hall.

"It was expected?" since the windows were closed there was no source of light. The lamps were not lit. The halls was covered in silence however team members knew that the weapons of the security must be around their necks.

Team head did not want to show up the tear so Sashi brought out her sub-category lit weapons.

It gave off some understanding of the surrounding.

The premonition came true. The cruel looking security men were holding weapons at their necks. Team head twitched. This was the first ever that they got surrounded very badly.

Clark wanted to say something however he did not want to offend anyone. The situation was little tough here. Albert wanted to spread shield and create some distance but his position was not favorable for sudden action.

Jake looked at the security man holding weapon right in front of him. The single shield was hanging on his left side near the waist. At the same side the gun was placed in the pocket. He assumed that the stout looking security man was not looking details about him.

After all it was tough to see through in the dim light. All of them exchange some silent glances. Their reliable silent communication was not bad. Jake held his gun and pointed toward the security man without looking at the gun or the direction.

He fired the bullet hit in the middle of the two legs. Sashi immediately turned off the lit weapon. Team head switched position and killed the security man. He made sure to put his hand on his shoulder to confirm the identity.

It was pitch dark and no place for mistake.

Albert and others did the same. They hurried to change the location and throw the security men aside.

After three moments the dim light resumed. The scenario changed in their favor. The security men were large in numbers however the team members could tackle them as long as the swords should not reach their necks.

The security man who was injured badly convulsed on the ground before death.

Jake slightly turned his head away after knowing that the bullet actually did some wonder.

Orin made thumbs up sign toward the young player. They wanted to comment something however knowing that Jake was younger they held back.

All of them got busy. The battle turned tough. The security men kept attacking. They were in limited numbers. "Do not injure and leave. Kill on the spot and reduce the numbers. Jake was also actively firing at the security men.

Two bullets were enough to kill one. When he thought that two security men might surround him Jake stepped back toward Ahram. He was near so he could collaborate with him. "Trying to capture younger one, come at me." He gestured with one hand and threw the chain.

Both used their weapons to fend off the chain however the weapon could not cut through. One of them escaped and the second got injured with the daggers.

The numbers reduced. Slowly this hall resumed its peaceful silence. Things were clear now. If this hall was sinking in the darkness then the rest of two will be similar.

Orin checked all of security men. They were no more moving.

"We will break the next door make sure to not fall in the hands of the security men again." Junan reminded.

Similar situation might not bring goodness. It was luck that they changed the scenario with some effort nevertheless all situations may not turn in favor in the end.

They searched the next door. It was at the corner of the same hall. It was made of dark iron that\'s why they took some time to spot it. The first attack on the door created empty echoes. These were more disturbing for the ears.

The big hall perhaps increased the impact of the attack. They heard the sound clashing with the walls. "Jake remember to throw the grenade as soon as the door collapse.." Junan ordered.
