The Player’s System - Chapter 262

Section Three

They understood. The section three could become their grave because the haunted body would not let them clear this section. It was test of their abilities as team and individual players.

This section was dark yet the temporary lights were switched on when the teams entered to clear the hall.

The light was enough to see what was happening in the section three. The objects one the tables were shaking. Some of them fell on the floor scarring the players. They were not habitual with this type of settings of the game, be it temporary or permanent.

“I wish there is something visible for attack instead of supernatural.” A player spoke holding the hammer. His hands were shaking and he was searching the enemy. “There is nothing supernatural, it is just game.” the second player spoke with hoarse voice.

He was equally worried about the sneak attack. One of the box unsealed and the mummy came out. It was not the haunted object. The real haunted dead was using other objects of the section as weapons.

The team head gasped with horror however stiffened his heart.

“This is going to be rough.” His sword shook. The dead broke it’s surgical strips and held the near table. It threw the table toward the team head. Team head hurried and avoided. The flying table barely brushed past the second player. They seemed worried what was going to happen.

The Another object rose its place and flew toward fourth player. He used his mace and destroyed it. Slowly most objects in the section started attacking randomly. The section turned in to mess.

The player which was aware about the haunted object shouted to inform the team head, “It would keep happening and perhaps we might get damage. To avoid it we should destroy the real haunted object. I am sure it is the second unsealed box at the corner.” The player explained.

The team head understood what they should do. As the player spoke out about destroying the haunted object. The storm of the objects surrounded them.

…

We have been searching and found nothing yet.” Clark slowly got over the worry of facing deads. He was eager to destroy the haunted object. “Perhaps we are late.” Jake spoke bluntly. He received notification from the task panel.

According to task panel the first team already entered in the related section and facing the wrath of the haunted section. There was no use to go there because the team was near to destroy the object.

“Which of the opponent team got the place? Why we are still clueless. It just started and the teams entered in the dead hall not long before.” Junan spoke shocked.

Albert twitched to hear. They didn’t take much time however someone else reached the object. “Are you sure kid?” He asked to confirm.

Jake sighed, “I heard voices coming from the left side of the section. It is slightly on distance however I heard it because of silence and ongoing battle perhaps.” Jake answered.

The second team was already at the opening of the section and they could see inside the third last section and the mess there. They were afraid to enter in the section. Also the random attacks of the objects would hit them for sure. All of them might get dragged in the mess. “It is not that we can move toward the real object before the first team. Meanwhile our team will also receive damage.” The team head of the second team spoke dejected.

Thinking this they didn’t enter in the section instead they kept watching how the first team was fighting with the circumstances.

Third team came out of the subsection and stood to search the place. They heard noises from the left section. It was on some distance. “Should we go there and battle to snatch it?” Clark asked.

They looked toward the team head. “It is not that we are afraid of the battle or facing two enemies at the same time however the damage would be unavoidable. Also the first team is already near the haunted object it would look like shameless act. It would punch our reputation as the prestigious team.” Junan spoke.

They earned reputation taking many risks. Giving up on a single task would not make them loss anything. This was live portal and the tasks were divided. Nothing could harm, only the perks would reduce according to the completed and incomplete tasks.

The most important was to battle when it comes to play the task in the maximum ability. But here it was matter of reputation.

Their reputation would only drop when they acted shameless compared to the other teams. They were senior in the live portal. They listened Junan and understood. The team members could tell what was the difference between honor and shamelessness.

(Their decision immediately caught attention of the spectators. Most of them were thinking that perhaps the third team would jump in the battle and snatch the task from the first team. It was expected because the third team was stronger. They could damage half of the opponents and snatch the task at the same time.

The spectators cheered third team.)

Team head of the first team and the strong player struggled to reach the haunted box. The player smashed his weapon on the box and opened it. They recklessly attacked on the box.

They were worried that perhaps some plight would kill them all. It was situation where they were at the horrible part of battle. The first team might have given up seeing the condition however they didn’t want to get humiliated in front of the owner.

The players received damage because some objects skipped their weapon. The reckless attacks nearly destroyed the box along with the body inside. Few objects hit them. The team head and other player could feel the injuries. However as the box got destroyed the section turned silent. Finally the section got cleared and the first team received the benefits.. Soon there came the announcement.
