Magic masters

The magic masters were trying to compose themselves when they see that the arena runners were free to reach toward the pylons.

The day break definitely could hinder their magic attacks. It could also make their magic attacks less effective. This means they would struggle their best to engage the runner in tough battle, the rest was up to the fate although these magic masters never believed that fate existed.

Their fire red gowns were contrasting with the day break. The palace behind gave the aura of abandoned dark place despite that fact that it was painted with the white paint.

Team head was not sure about the plans of the magic masters. Bringing the team members at one place without prior planning would render them at the mercy of the magic attacks.

Albert could lead with the shield however throwing all hopes at the shield would not go well. After facing the previous magic attendants the team members got some experience that they could use it here.

"The magic attacks will be similar of the previous one however perhaps all magic masters would attack consecutively. This would make it tough for us. To tackle this situation we will stand in the pairs and help each other with the possible best techniques. You are free to use your best moves to overthrow the attack. The team members have the level two abilities in their weapons. Unless you yourself lost courage to stand there is nothing that could defeat us." Junan spoke. They were walking out of the ruined garden.

The enemies were looking at their statures and calculating their actions.

"This time the pairing would be different. It is no more about the range of weapon instead the worth of the weapon. Sashi has no bulky weapon instead arrows. She would pair with Clark, his hammer could let them survive the battle in the pairing." This was one of the toughest tasks of the team head.

He was responsible for best formation of the team in the life and death battle.

"Ahram has chains as the main weapon however as for I remember he knows how to use shovel. You will pair with Orin. At least you can give him some better suggestion during the battle…" Junan halted and looked at Jake.

"Jake will remain with me. Albert will stand alone. However this formation is only suitable for defense while we also need attack type formation or at least some suggestions. Anybody with the idea?" Junan asked.

Team members were thinking the same. Mere defense would take eternity to win.

They needed best attack plan. This was last day and the night ahead would be fortnight. They did not want to live on edge while saving the Ashmorn.

Currently their long range weapons were limited. Only Jake could use long range weapons and Sashi however they were not clear how to defeat the magic masters. "I think we can use one or two tears." Jake spoke.

They looked at him. They possessed five tears. Using two tears would not cost much since three tears could help in defeating the old master.

"What about the king? Aren\'t we supposed to kill the king with tears?" Orin asked. He was at the outside of the door when they talked with the elder.

So he was clueless about the complete information. "There is one Ruby in the Orlenia Palace, I am sure it has something to do with the final task of killing the king." Junan answered.

"Then it is decided. We can use tears to kill magic masters and the old master." Albert added.

Using tears would decrease their toil.

"Since the magic masters and the old master are necessary to be killed then we will use the tears at the right moment." Junan gave his final decision.

Team members stood in front of the pylons according to their agreed formation. Junan tightened his heart because he was team head and supposed to use the precious tears for killing the magic masters.

The magic masters saw how lazily these runners were moving toward the pylons as if they did not care the enemies standing on the pylons.

One of the magic masters threw bigger magic ball to threaten them. It was thrown in the middle of their formation.

Team members separated sideways. The magic ball created crater in the ground showing the power behind it.

The magic master looked at them as if they were already dead. "Do not forget they possess tear of Ashmorn." the other magic master reminded.

"They sure possess but do they know how to use it?" the magic master confidently spoke.

Team members saw the crater. They were not worried however it would be tough battle for sure.

The other magic master started the battle thinking that perhaps the fellow magic master was right. If they could kill the runners then the old master would reward them.

Team members created distance for each pairing. The magic balls needed some thrashing. The first attack was aimed at the team head. Jake stood in front holding the shield.

"The best time for attack would be when the magic masters start thinking that we are not enough stronger. Is it?" Jake asked.

Junan nodded. He was not in hurry instead wanted to let the magic masters show their skills. Also the team members would be able to test their grounds and the present power of the weapons.

Well shovel weapon was exception thou.

The shield was strong enough to stop the magic ball and disperse it. Later the magic balls started raining on them. All of them got busy using available weapons.

Ahram tried to thrash the magic ball with the shovel yet the shovel melted immediately. Ahram threw it aside. Not each weapon was suitable for all type of tasks.

The team members were forced to learn it.

Albert was trying to send the magic ball back at the magic master however it was not working. The shield was unable to reflect the attack. It was due to the weapon type.. His spear could not attack the magic ball so he was making what was presented in front.
