The Player's System

Sprint up

The ground was clinched with the ongoing battle between the ogres and the players. Both parties were focused to defeat each other. The seal was in front and they could see the progress after killing ogres. The present signs were apparent that they perhaps killed one fourth numbers of the marked enemies. 

It was increasing tension between the enemies. Their started screaming just like before. This was the most annoying for the players because it disturbed their actions. 

The screams perhaps added to the attacks of the ogres. Junan was unable to understand why they screamed however as soon as the groups of ogres did screaming the battle scenario changes. 

The ogres turned mad and aggressive. They were strangely more powerful and the attacks of the players were getting slower. Junan shook his head with disgust he was sure that the screaming effecting on their pace. 

It was not acceptable for him the second hour was nearing its end. It would decide the fate of the team whether they would be able to confront the boss or not. 

The advantage of the ogres could seriously harm the pace of the team members. Now that everyone was working tirelessly they did not notice that half of them were getting the poison influence. It was half visible on their faces. 

The constant breaths of the Python brought disadvantage for the team members. Albert ran seeing that the team head fell and the group was enemies circled around him. 

Orin was also at some distance. He joined as well. They were huffing with the continuous use of weapons and the controls. Sashi was near Clark she also fell. It was the peak of their limits. They had been pushing their limits and battle. 

The increasing pressure from the screams and the poison breaths were hellish hard to keep fighting. Half of the team members gathered checking the condition of the team head and Sashi. 

Their hp was still at fifty on the other hand the poison was stopping their activities. Junan felt as he was being forced to stop the battle. His body movements was getting slower. This was quite horrible to go through. 

For a player to not move and act against the enemies standing in front and screaming was indeed gruesome. Junan was feeling helpless. "Our enemy is getting to our heads however the seal is near to collapse at least half of it." Clark spoke to lift up some courage. 

Albert covered Sashi and the team head with the shield. He was worried whether they could be able to stand in front of the Python or not. 

"What happened to them?" Ahram looked in the direction and noticed something off. They were on some distance because of the ammunition attacks. 

"It is what we are fighting already." Jake spoke grimly. When he first time felt the deadly effects of the poison breath Jake took care with the single shield. He also kept eyes at the other player. As soon as he got the signs of attack he used his shield to cover Ahram. 

It helped reduced the attack effects. For this they were still working without getting the wrath of the Python. Jake was not selfish however looking at the condition of the team head made him think something crude. 

Earlier he was worried as to how he should get chance to kill the Python now that team head was not in good condition Jake eventually got some hope that he did not need to offend the team head for taking chance. 

He was not selfish but to fulfill the task, Jake was bound to kill the Python using all available chances. He was trying his best to break the seal open. With some efforts he was able to learn to keep balance between three weapons availability. 

It could bring trouble if Jake could not keep balance and all weapons go on cool down at once. He has five weapons dagger, gun, grenades, ammunition pouches and the single shield. Dagger was not workable for the current battle. 

Single shield was protecting him till now. And the remaining three weapons were helping him kill the marked enemies. It was luck and the assistance of the system that he selected these weapons for his profession. 

Since half of the team members were facing direct attack of the poison breath it was clear that not all will be available for battling with the last boss. With these thoughts the pressure on his shoulders was increasing. 

Jake was not cherry-picker (Someone oblivious of the tough job) He was actually trying to think a way how he could get rid the boss in most effective way. 

Dragging the battle would only add to their troubles. Jake took deep breath. "You always daze after some grave answer." Ahram commented seeing him again standing silent. 

Jake blinked. What reason he could give? "I was thinking about the upcoming troubles. With the team head being affected, others should work hard to not let down the morale at this stage of the level. Perhaps we could kill the boss and win the level." Jake spoke determined. 

Ahram nodded. His concerns were same in this aspect. "I think the seal is near to break anytime. Just few more marked enemies and we will be there." Ahram added with high spirits. 

"Indeed we should not stop the mass kill. The rocks are falling bigger than before. It is signal that we are near it already; we will slam the last hammer." Jake spoke enthusiastic.

They started working again. Jake threw four ammunition pouches at the direction where Ahram pointed. It was so because the marked enemies were more than ten numbers standing there among the normal ogres. 

It was great decision and they killed close to fifty of them. "Wait the seal is breaking apart. We should inform the others." Ahram shouted with excitement. Jake halted his grenade because the seal was giving way enough of it.. They would cross it with few sprints.
