The Player's System

Chapter 140 - Desolation

Desolation

The grenade blasted small part of the wall. It was not enough to let the light inside. "Seems like the palace walls are made of better concrete." Jake side smiled.

He stood to wait till the impact of the blast diminished. The cracks in the wall were enough to plant single pouch however before doing this Jake went to tell Ahram to leave the hall.

They walked out of the hall. Jake stood in the door after placing rdx pouch. He aimed at the wall cracks and fired. Bigger blast echoed. The hall shook for brief moments. This was enough to bring some threat for the king.

The last part of the seal was left to work on. Ahram and Sashi hurried to clear it. Now the light traveled through window and entered from the blasted opening of the wall.

The echo alerted team members working on the other side.

The first hall got dimly lit with the light coming from the front window. Ahram went to search another window.

At the opposite side Junan and Orin were able to open a window. They could see the next wall of the hall was hindrance in spreading the light. "You go and bring Jake." Junan ordered Orin. He reached at the other side of the second hall.

"You guys are quite faster." Orin saw the blasted wall and the cleared window. This side of the hall was letting the light inside the first hall. Bit of more effort would complete the task from this side.

""We found the first window earlier." Sashi stabbed the sharp weapon and answered.

"Anyway Jake, team member asked you to come." Orin brought Jake Lin at the other side. The window was cleared perfectly. In just one glance Jake decided to use grenade in the middle of the wall. The grenade helped in creating cracks in the wall to better fit the ammunition pouch.

He did his job perfectly when the bullet hit the pouch. Junan nodded. He sent Orin to ask the other two whether they found some window.

There were total six windows however they found four. But these were enough to lite the dark hall. Now it was beaming with light.

"From here we need perfect and smooth plan. The king is aware what we are doing here. Perhaps his personal security men would try to stop us. Battling might give some opening for the king because we don't know if there is any escape way." Junan explained.

"We will stand at the part where it is enough lit. Then Jake will blast small part of the last wall. The light would enter the trench. If it still did not work then Jake will make another blast. Get ready for any situation." He gestured them to take positions.

Jake went to place the pouch near the wall. He was sure that cursed king would not die with the blast. The king was learned in magic skills and only limited options could endanger his life.

Jake fired. The wall shook. The security men fell dead because they were in the last hall. The remaining men were injured. Albert walked ahead with the shield to check.

He could see the trench. The king was ready with the magic skill. He was annoyed by these runners. Coming with the two steps the light decreased when entered in the trench.

All of them knew that it would be troublesome to bring light directly in the trench. However Ahram picked his shovel. The iron part was shining and it could reflect light. He kept it and flashed inside the trench.

It brought some difference.

Others noticed him. Jake thought to add one more blast from second location. He ran and reached the other part. Clark followed him in case security men came to stop.

The second blast reduced their worry because they heard the scream of the king.

He was hiding in the trench in hope that Runners would came rushing inside however they proved smart enemies for the king. Junan entered inside the trench while Albert holding the shield.

The king was in no condition to stop his misery and attack with magic skill. His eyes were getting blood red.

He threw his crown away. "It is my first ever that I will drag a king." Junan grabbed hold on the king, the king struggling and going through anguish.

As soon as he threw the king in front of window, the body of the king started melting like ice. Although team members were anticipating it to become smoke and vanish.

"We should leave the palace now." Junan ordered. The central walls of the palace got unstable because of the consecutive attacks.

They were again at the entrance. "How strange? The statues we left without damaging have disappeared?" Sashi asked team head. He was also shocked.

"I cannot tell what happened to them." Junan shook his shoulders. The bigger pylon of the palace shattered in pieces. It was signs that the palace will also get destroyed.

"Seems like it was meant to get destroyed. Clark commented. They hurried to run away from the palace structure.

"Second palace we are coming." Clark was waving his hammer and shouting. There were no signs of evening and they were able to complete this task.

Ashmorn was not in good condition. Her chains were hurting her because the old master used worst magic on the chains.

As soon as the biggest pylon of the third palace shattered the magic masters got worried. They were hired to stop the arena runners however the rumors were turning out true.

To be able to kill the third king meant that runners were here to kill the first king. The magic masters could not refuse to battle because old master would kill them.

The king ordered that the soldiers would not be able to stop the runners. In this case only magic masters and old master could stop them. Ashmorn was glad to know that third king was killed however she was worried thinking that runners might have used her tear to kill the king.. It would slim down their chances to stand firm in front of the old master.
