55 Pass it

Pass it

The serpent crossed the white line. Junan shouted at the three team members to welcome it. Without good welcome they might lose against it. "The serpent is after Orin. Others should take advantage of it." Junan guided. Orin was alarmed. He was about to speak nonsense for the serpent but to hear the team head, he felt that his throat suddenly went dry.

The serpent hissed aggressively. The teeth of the serpent were shining from the tips ready to capture the target. The team members move around ready to attack. "Ready..." Junan spoke and hurried. His gleaming sword fell on the tail.

The tail suddenly escaped the attack and and folded with utmost sharpness then reverted back to attack instead. Junan was stunned for only one moment and he was about to face the worst when Sashi pushed him aside. From the very start of the game, they were threatened with the poison.

Facing the last serpent eventually brought fear in them. The other team members were no different. They were afraid to attack. "We cannot spend whole day on it." Albert reminded. He was holding shield and walking around the serpent in hope to get chance for attack.

Orin was standing away and the serpent wanted to attack him however four team members were blocking the path. Hammer Boy found chance to attack on the tail unfortunately the tail slapped on his chest. He fell back. Considerable amount of hp got wasted. "Stay behind." Junan warned him to stay away and should not face another attack.

Serpent sensed that one of the player was quite active. It was Junan guiding them and giving warning. The eyeless Serpent could see with the help of shingle. The shingle was living breath of the Python, naturally the shingle could provide visual senses to differentiate between various enemies.

Jake was looking at their efforts. He waiting for them at the broken gate. He was able to kill all troops at this side of the place. The blasted though created much difficulty for breathing. Junan tried to attack from front, the serpent released poison from the teeth.

These fell like rain drops. Fortunately Albert was faster enough to give shield cover. The poison drops fell on the shield burning the upper protective layer. It was much powerful attack. They were agape to notice it. Ahram could see that the movements of the serpent were helping in attacks while team members were at disadvantage.

He gestured Sashi. The earlier plan explained by the boy was quite risky however they were willing to try. Every single moment was dropping their hp. Ahram casted the chain. He was quite expert in using chain because of the profession chosen for the level.

It eventually added to his skills so the chain folded around the tail like an expert wielder. Sashi reacted like unraveled nemesis of the serpent. The sword fell on the tail cutting the half part. It was said that poisonous npc's were rendered helpless by damaging their tails.

The serpent rolled around while the damaged tail was also rolling. Without giving another moment Sashi attacked on the vessel. The vessel cut open and the shingle fell. It was best chance for others to get some hp from the serpent with the attacks. The shingle fell near Albert.

He picked it and ran toward the gate. The last seconds were running out. Orin whistled giving sign that they succeeded. Jake waved his hand and entered through the gate first. The dropping HP, vanishing time and their breathless condition proved this last gate as hell gate.

Sashi praised Ahram for his timely effort. The serpent seemed not in hurry however players might have dead by the time the serpent give up. This face off also let them learn that the bosses would be hundred percent strong from the creations, the slaves and ogres. These serpents were blunt example.

Clearing the last street they were expecting that the big boss would welcome them in the hell however there was something wrong. The boss was probably taking beauty sleep. There was criminal silence giving thumping to the soft hearts. With the present HP the players were also soft heart to create any chaos.

Some chirping of the birds could be heard from afar however team members were sure that it was not part of adventure. It was just added charm for the game portal. The scenery in front was similar of the day break. With the dim light and fresh air, they felt reviving their life source.

It was the payback for killing last serpent nonetheless with the killing of the last serpent, the walls of the hidden cave were destroyed. This woke up the Cobra Lord. The two slaves were guarding these walls. They were frightened when the walls destroyed. It was sign that the players killed the last serpent.

The small tower shook with the impact. The unruly slave was confined in it for the time being. The last serpent was the key to open the tower locks. The slave came outside and started walking toward the cave.

This slave was also creation of the Python. It was responsible to stop the enemies from entering in the cave. Overall the scenery was calm and the players were wondering where should they head first. The open area was in front with no clear clue. "Goodness that the bushes are no more." Hammer Boy glanced in all directions.

Junan felt that they were lost. "It might be asking much but can you spare some time and take a look at the Book of Detection?" Junan asked very politely, clearly the politeness was stinging more than the sting of serpent.

He was tired reminded him again and again. In his eyes until now everyone should know the advantages of his profession and get ready to render timely help. If they ignored it then at some point they could not blame the team head for anything. There was no option for their acting ignorant.

Were not they experienced? Do they need to get reminders?
