Eysera Bridge 8

Slowly the pool became bloody battleground. The blood of the injured alligators was adding in the mud. The team members looked like the last humans battling for the survival.

With the mud splashes their gowns were tainted. Orin smashed the thorny mace at the alligator and blood plopped on his face. He removed with his hand and kept the busy job.

The alligator was still alive after the first attack. It tried to capture from the leg and drag him in the mud. Orin stepped back immediately. He was trying his best to not directly attack.

There was high chance that his weapon got stuck in the big mouth of the alligator in case they faced head on.. Human could battle against the alligator but there were some reasonable aspect that should be followed or else the strength of the alligators had had been always thousand time higher than human.

It was portal game so they could expect the similar aspect. Not to say the alligator could easily drag him in the entire pool once he let it get over him.

Well the injured creatures were always terrible. They could use utmost strength to go against the opponent. Orin kept in mind.

Clark was again slightly in trouble. Having the hammer meant to match with his profession. However not all weapons were workable for all situations in the each quest.

He tried hammer on the alligator but the creature immediately sank in the mud and the attack lost most of its impact.

It was flat weapon. Jake soon noticed his worry. He was playing around the target to bring at the verge end. His controls were getting better. Jake thought to wade toward Clark confusing the alligator that was getting mad at him.

His actions nearly brought the alligator at mad ends because he was skipping from its close encounter.

Jake ran toward Clark and the alligator followed. The distance closed soon. Clark noticed but it was too late to protest. He thought that perhaps the kid was facing difficulty to kill the alligator so he brought it here.

Clark did not want to welcome the kid when he was not in feasible situation. He did not mind helping Jake however Clark was no in better situation to lend him helping hand.

Jake reached much near. He kept the grenade hidden because the alligator found out his attack method. The bullets were not feasible to injure the hard body of the alligator. Also the number of the bullets might increase with the first rate cool down.

It could bring risk during the head on battle.

Jake was well aware about the limitations of all weapons. He was getting familiar as to what type of weapon would be helpful in certain situations.

Now that the alligator noticed another injured alligators they thought to join hands against the enemies. Clark stepped back because the situation simply get out of his hands. Two alligators opened their mouth ready to tear them apart.

Well they were in the most feasible place, the muddy pool. It was not difficult for them to wade through and attack. As the saying goes, \'Two were better than one\'

The presence of another alligator gave courage to the first one. They attacked with wide opened mouth. Jake took target and masterfully threw grenades.

He wanted them to go blind with the confidence of killing human. Only blind confidence could give ambiguity.

This was enough for now. Jake bent and covered with the single shield. Previously he did not use shield and the flesh blast ruined his appearance.

He was looking more like brutal butcher rather than younger player.

Clark stood agape to see. He was already uninterested to care for his appearance despite the fact that he always cared his appearance and looks no matter if he happened to be in game or real life.

Currently his excellent gown was ruined with the mud and the blood of the alligator.

"Hell yeah! You killed the scum." Clark spoke. He was ready to celebrate however Jake gestured him to stop.

The forward path was clear for few moments. They could wade through and close in the distance. Clark nodded and followed. Now that he was walking along with younger player, they could tackle the problem too.

Jake fairly knew that all of them were moving toward the end of pool and also battling with the alligators.

None of them could bear the burden of easy pace. All of them should necessarily listen the silent orders of the team head. He was still battling with the second opponent after closing some distance.

Others were in the similar situations however whenever they got the chance they kept walking ahead toward the end of the pool.

They almost finished half of the distance and could fairly see the Eysera bridge from afar.

It was simple walkway bridge. The card was hidden beneath. For the team members the destination was in front of their eyes.

Little more stubborn attitude would bring the completion of the quest. But they saw the muddy pool started rising up.

It was not expected in any way. Biggest alligator perhaps woke up from its slumber. "There is really a boss this time." Orin commented. He was reaching near Albert. They thought that they were pretty lucky to defeat most of the alligators in the muddy pool.

Half of the team members actually forgot that bigger boss could appear anytime and reduce the chance of the quest completion.

Since most of the alligators were killed the big boss appeared to stop players from reaching Eysera bridge. They were very near and could see the bridge but the big boss wanted to challenge them.

Once the boss appeared the team should not escape but it was against the completion of the quest, they might not be able to claim the card. The boss was unavoidable.

Team members fairly knew this aspect. Junan gestured them to organize the formation to handle the anger of the boss.
