The Player’s System - Chapter 260
Kick
The shield was stronger and the bullet hit its armor stand, it changed its direction and destroyed the expensive portrait. The team head of the second team glared his player. He wanted to scold or banish however the level rules didn’t allow this much time.
The player got kicked out of the museum labeled as Disabled Visitor. Albert closed shield and looked at the opponent team.
The team head regretted that one player from his team got removed because of his foolishness or the smart a*s enemy. Junan heaved sigh of relief. This fourth level was scarier than the previous one. One single mistake could kick them out of the portal.
“It is time for you to retreat. You have seen your limits already.” Junan spoke to remind the opponent. The opponent snarled. “I can still beat you in the hand to hand. If you have guts then come in front.” The opponent gave challenge.
Junan thought for a moment. It was good that the opponent learned from his mistake. However they were reluctant to leave. It means they would be slapping and kicking soon or whatever they could struggle.
“I would like to go and see this man.” Clark hurriedly asked Junan. Without the permission of team head he would not step in the face to face combat.
“Since it is for the sake of Hammer Soul, you should fight for it. We are here for backing.” Junan gave permission.
There was lot difference, Clark happened to be player while he was going to combat with team head of opponent team. The opponent stood in the middle of the subsection. Clark stepped ahead. They could use neutral weapons however it was necessary to not damage the property of the museum.
Well it was matter of cautiousness. If the weapon broke flooring or hit against the portraits placed in the gallery then the outcome was obvious.
Clark placed his heavy hammer on the floor. He decided not to use weapon as precaution. Also the first attack of two opponents never killed at once. It was unless the HP drop at the lowest point.
However he was determined to defeat the opponent in few moments with bare hands. The opponent found it amusing to see that Clark put the weapon away. He was holding his sword.
Opponent straightway attacked at him. Clark changed his position with maximum agility. The sword brushed past without leaving any damage. The opponent gnashed his teeth. The bulky Clark could show such level of defence accuracy, he was not expecting.
He attacked again. This time Clark escaped the attack yet returned with attack, slapping his hand on the chest of the opponent. Clark put all force behind this attack which proved damaging for opponent. His feet dragged on the flooring pushing him away few steps.
Clark was ready for the final slap to throw the player on the ground when another player of the opponent team tried to jump and get the profession ability since everyone was focused on the battle. Sashi shot the arrow and it pierced in the hand of the player. He was terrified. The arrow stuck in his hand giving him immense pain.
He heard that this portal game gave the real experience of pain and emotions however he ignored those rumors. Now that he faced it so cursed. The opponent team leader gasped with horror, one player got kicked out and the second player received damage.
“It is better to leave for now.” he gestured his players to leave the gallery. Clark saw the retreating. He extended his hand and captured the glowing ball of profession ability.
The ability got added in his stat. Clark received notification for formal words of appreciation.
The hammer soul was unique ability that enable the player to call his weapon through this ability. Not only it created a connection between the player and the weapon, it also acted on the orders of the player.
The inhibiting hammer soul could listen the commands of the player and bring back the hammer in case player lost it or it fell somewhere. There were many applications of this ability which were locked. They would unlock one by one with each advance level.
Clark read through the brief introduction of the ability. He was quite satisfied with it. At least it made him less worried about his weapon choice.
They held the upper hand in the first task.
“You finally got the ability. Guess it would increase strength behind your attack.” Junan patted his shoulder. It was time to look for the second haunted object.
Orin got it first and read the clue. “The place where no one wanted to live but dead. That made the museum horrible place for visitors. Get it out of the museum. Destroying it would bring curse upon you.” The golden clue stated the second task.
They came out of gallery in order to see the list of museum halls where different type of things can be placed according to their category. The list was hanging near reception. Team members saw the lady silently reading document.
The long list has a name of the hall which looked dusty and unreadable.”Perhaps no one visited this hall for long time. According to the clue the place where no one wanted to live but dead, must be the place where visitors never visited?” Junan mulled over the clue.
“Indeed this hall met the criteria of the clue. I don’t know however I think the place must be worn out.” Orin added.
They were thinking about those dead places where some lunatics put the dead’s of the old time. Some them heard about the haunted places and tombs.
“I never thought to visit it in the game. I wonder why people got interested to dig out places of dead’s?” Sashi commented. They literally prepared their brains to see some horrible skeletons.
“So we are going to meet deads. Sure as hell.” Junan shook his shoulders and walked.. The direction of the hall was simple however it was the last hall of museum where no one dared to go, not even the staff.
