Twelfth quest

Junan gestured them to move about the monster. The most pressing task was to focus and send the monster in slumber. Now that they know where to shot the pearl they were ready to do the task.

Junan decided to order the team members those were best with the sprint. They could use near trees as support. Without support they would not be able to carry the task.

"We cannot use heavy weapons to injure the monster. Keep in mind the monster could give damage during the hasty task. If anyone of you found slacking or irresponsible with the behavior I would not let go unpunished. We are very close to the completion of the third level, it must not get spoiled at the peak." Junan spoke out loud to let everyone listen carefully.

Team members heard his warning. They knew the importance of the task and the level. So they were ready to work hard again as usual.

Jake walked at the distance. Creating distance was the first choice for everyone so that the big arms of the monster should not capture them by neck.

Sashi and the others were waiting for the order of the team head.

The monster looked at the hasty actions of the humans. Since the humans spread around it became tough to capture them one by one. The giant body felt it bothersome to do the effort at first.

The monster was trying to figure out the attentions of the humans. They were different from the skinny four feet humans. The four feet humans were not agile or active to escape from its hands while the movements of these humans were faster. It would take real effort to capture them and stuff in the mouth.

The monster extended its hand to capture Clark. He was quite bulky and possibly the stomach would get happy to take this meal. Clark stepped back and tried to attack with the hammer. His intentions were to keep the arm away.

"The monster is cannibal so its attack meant that the humans are meal. Stay alert defend yourself." Junan once again warned.

The cannibal monster did not need to attack or worry for anything else. They focus at capturing and stuffing the human in the mouth. If the mangora monster captured one of them and did this stuffing then they would be doomed.

Clark hammered on the hand however the monster did not feel itching. It was similar of throwing egg against the mountain.

Clark got shocked. Now it was more than necessary to stay away and use fastest controls.

Jake gave the pearl to the team head. The attention of the monster was fixated at Clark and it was best time to use the pearl.

Team head called Ahram and handed him pearl in hurry. "I am sure once you put the pearl in the middle of the forehead the monster would fell in slumber. Make sure you do not receive damage with the actions of the monster during this. Other team members would try to borrow enough time for you to follow up." Junan explained.

Ahram was suitable for this task while Orin would also sprint in the same time.

The plan was hasty. Two team members would climb up from left and right. Both were good at sprint ability. The benefit of sending both at once would be the distracted attention of the monster.

Also the team members at the ground would make sure to sidetrack.

They were near the human colony however the presence of the team members got the attention of the monster and it did not walk to search the hidden four feet skinny humans.

The monster brought both hands to block the path for Clark. Both big hands fairly restricted the movements of the team members. The hands stood on the ground as if walls closing in.

The dry dust dragged around Clark. He coughed as if it bothered his breathing.

This was worst for him when experiencing the advanced game portal. It was similar of coughing when facing dust on road. The monster seemed enjoying with the fact that it was ready to block the human completely.

Albert looked at the actions of the monster. He came rushing to help Clark.

The way monster limited his movements could bring trouble for Clark. It could potentially give him damage. Albert reached near the hand and used shield. The shield smashed against the hands. Well it did not annoy the monster instead it got excited to see another human ready to become its meal.

Clark felt the presence of the providence to see Albert. He was worried that the hammering would not bring any change to his fate. The team head said that they should not attack the monster however the monster was not someone to get itching least.

The monster stopped his hand walls to not further advance instead add up the second human in the meal plate.

Orin and Ahram got this chance to do the task in hurry.

They rushed toward the nearest tree then sprinted toward the arms of the monster.

Orin was responsible to attack if necessary during the task. It would let Ahram complete the task. The monster was still busy to capture Albert when two humans landed on the arms.

This was the easiest way to reach at the shoulders then by sprinting Ahram would fix the pearl at the forehead.

The super easy plan got ruined soon because the monster shook its arm to get rid the insects. There was nothing to remain stable at the arm so Orin fell away from the monster while Ahram used chains to circle around the arm.

He wished that the team members provide enough of support so he could complete the task. Junan was looked at the changes. "Jake you should create some noise for the monster." Junan ordered.

He was sure the blasts would get the attention of the monster. Jake picked threw one grenade near monster. The distance still remained enough to not directly harm the monster.

The monster was about to pull the chain and capture Ahram however the giant body shook with the blast. It was not due to impact instead the monster got afraid.

This blast matched with the angry feet thump of the bigger mangora monsters those were living in the seventeenth level of the portal. This monster came from the seventeenth level of portal game.

The seventeenth level of the portal has the complete world of the mangora monsters, the developers wanted to introduce the monster in earlier level so that the teams should know the expected difficulty stages of the future levels.

\'The purpose was to keep the interest of the spectators as well as the teams. The investors and the organizers would equally remain sticky with the portal games. This was the type of business sense that was being used in order to earn big by creating curiosity.

The curiosity of the spectators could let the portal games remain hot topic in the international scenario.\'

The mangora monster looked scared. It was no more interested to throw the human away instead worried. Ahram found this chance to move above shoulders.

The monster looked at the left where the blast happened. Jake blinked. He could not understand the actions of the monster however its eyes were telling the level of worry looking toward the open forest.

It was clear that monster was expecting some bigger apparition. Jake held another grenade and threw at distance.

It earned more than enough time for Ahram. He sprinted knowing that monster was not moving anymore.

Ahram placed the pearl in the middle of the forehead. The pearl started emitting light and the monster slowly reacted to the changes.

Ahram hurried to move away from the falling giant body of the monster. Others followed. They did not take much time in completing the task.

The monster fell with huge thump bringing smaller earthquake.

According to the four feet skinny human as soon as the monster fell in slumber they would get the clue of the riddle and later solve it to complete the quest however the team members looked at each other.

They had similar question as to where this riddle would appear. Orin received warning notice on his stat. the book of detection gave some sign.

Orin looked at others and opened the book of detection wishing that he would be saved from big trouble.

There was something written on the page with golden ink.

According to the previous interactions the golden clue means a perfect clue or the direct gesture for the advancement in the quest.

He got slightly happy. "I received riddle on the book of detection, let me read it." Orin spoke when others were looking at his hasty actions.

Team head and others felt relieved to know. They wanted the riddle more than anything at this moment.. Jake walked near to know what was awaiting for them in the riddle.
