The Player's System

Whip 2

They entered in the garden. This attracted the attention of the statues. They came toward the runners. Team members spread according to their plans in the pairs.

If the statues surrounded then the battle would become tough. None of the players every battled without securing the path of escape. This was the most essential part of every battle.

They could not neglect it.

Ignoring this crucial point means they intentionally threw themselves in front of the opponents.

The statues were more than twenty in numbers. They initially ran toward the runners but seeing them spreading in the garden made them follow behind.

The swish of the whip went from near the shoulder, Orin avoid it at the right moment. "Such haste. Let me come at you." Orin understood the force behind the whip attack.

He held his thorny mace. The next whip attack fell on the weapon. Orin moved it to capture the whip and jerked. The statue was holding the whip firmly, the jerk made it fell on the ground. Without removing the whip from the thorny mace Orin smashed it on the statues.

It got destroyed. "See me and avoid me." Orin spoke looking at the broken parts of concrete.

The statues were made of concrete. The magic of the old master made them follow the orders.

Junan walked just to end up in front of two statues. He was already regretting for not destroying them earlier. "It is not late yet. You both will face my sword. Let me equal the score that is debt on me." He moved a bit to better use of his current position. The statue attacked with the whip repeating the words, \'Feast of Kings\'

Junan was getting irritated after listening these words from the very opening of this level. All of the creatures be it dead or alive talk about it. They seemed hypnotized with the words.

Junan dodged the whip and moved a bit attacking with the sword. He kicked the statue seeing it getting ready for the second attack. "Do not repeat the words ever again." Junan furiously attacked on the neck of the statue. The concrete neck detached and fell on the ground.

Now it was time to look for the second statue. It was ready with the whip. The statue attacked earlier however Junan was busy to get rid the first one so he just dodged the whip attack.

"You should not worry it is your turn now." Junan moved his neck slightly waiting for the statue to attack the first. He was in the full form to battle.

Albert was in different situation three statues attacked at once and his shield fell. He jumped to avoid the whip. The second whip brushed past his thigh. Thankfully the thigh was covered with the thick leather gown.

It might have given him damage if his controls were not that sharp and agile. "Bruh! Can you create some distance?" Albert chuckled sprinting and creating the distance.

The statue walked toward him repeating the same worn out words \'Feast of Kings\'

Albert suddenly rushed toward one of them and attacked with the spear. One statue fell unable to stand again. Albert heard their words and laughed, "Let me correct it for you. It is no more \'Feast of Kings\' instead just one king is left alive." Albert moved at the left then jumped from behind thrusting the spear in the third statue.

Jake fired at the statue but it did not work. Single bullet only gave a hole in the chest of the concrete statue. Jake picked the grenade to test whether it could survive blast.

"Wait let them come at us first." Sashi stepped back and pretended as if she was trying to escape.

Jake nodded. He also stepped back. The three statues followed. Jake threw grenade in their rocky feet. They did not halt their steps however the blast staggered them.

Some of the concrete from their bodies peeled off however they were still walking fine.

"I think one more will work." Jake picked another grenade. It was due to the reason that the statue kept walking it created distance from the grenade and real blast.

The second attack however gave double damage. They staggered and fell. Bodies got riddled with the peeled concrete. One of them lost arm to hold the whip. The other lost the leg.

"Now they look better." Sashi was contented to see them helpless. Jake smiled. He also liked their present condition.

They walked toward other statues to attract their attention. After knowing that they could kill them with the grenades they were actively running in the garden.

Sashi gave idea to gather more than three statues at one place then blast or in other scenario just attack when the statue gathered at some place. Both ideas were good so they burned small patches of the garden in the pursuit. Other team members noticed this. They did not mind as long as Jake and Sashi remained safe and keep destroying enemies.

Standing at the pylons the magic masters were looking in the direction of the garden. They twitched their brows. The runners were fearlessly destroying statues despite the fact that old master was ordering the statues with his magic.

The initial thoughts were also destroyed. Most of them were thinking that the statues would surround Runners and kill them. It was opposite scenario in the garden. The runners were chasing the statues.

After burning half of the garden Jake and Sashi halted. They were able to get rid the opponents. Other team members also destroyed last remaining one or two opponents.

"This garden took most of our time." Junan saw the day break signs in the horizon. It took them four hours almost.

"Guess how much time it would take to get rid the magic masters." Sashi asked to look at the first pylon.

Junan looked at the team members. "It is going to be tough. The king sure arranged surprises for us. However I am worried about the old master. He could be our stronger opponent before entering in the palace.." Junan reckoned from the words of the elder.
