Orlenia palace
Most parts of the Orlenia palace were destroyed with the palace. Only the inner palace was safe and sound.
The Arena runners killed magic masters and the old master. After battling with the dead demons Orin ruined his outer cover of the gown. His appearance was tattered. The thorny mace looked exhausted too.
If it was not team head deciding to save the team member then he might have been dead with the final attack of the dead demons.
It was tough battle. Orin faced the real threat when fighting with the dead demons. They were overpowered especially their armors were stronger or perhaps it was their appearance that made it influence the battle.
In both cases Orin was ready to learn how to survive in this portal. Earlier he was quite confident that he could defeat any opponent however this confrontation made him realize his flaws in the battle.
Clark supported his hammer on the ground. He looked at Albert both were battling like it was end of the world. They were looking like the players of reality. They never felt pressure of the enemy this much.
Always there was way to tackle especially their master moves and the controls could defeat the opponents in the blink of an eye.
Jake stood thinking how he should complete the urgent task. He was supposed to steak from the king however it could potentially throw him in the den of enemy.
The apparent condition of the team members was evident that this was tough for them. The inner door of the palace was right in front of them however none stepped ahead to lead inside.
Team head attacked with all tears. Now he was thinking about the Ruby. He was not sure what would happen inside the palace. The battle with the old master took half a day. The horizon was turning dark again.
It was unbelievable that they had been battling for so long. It was due to the reason that they never bat an eye over the time frame before in any game.
In this portal every level was meant to pass within the time limit so the team head tried to remain alert. He saw the younger kid walking toward the inner door.
Jake knew that standing here and thinking would not bring any good for him. The task should be completed as soon as possible.
The evening was near so the king would sit in the middle of the lit lamps. Also this was fortnight. The king must be ready to complete the sacrifice. Jake was not sure how the rituals would begin however he was tight on the task time.
The king ordered his security men to throw the hundred pairs of humans in the Orlenia tower when the first rays of the moon appear in the Mala city.
The Ashmorn was not in good condition. The chains were torturing. Despite the fact that old master was killed it did not bring changes to the chains. The reason was simple. The old master carefully used material and did not use any personal skill in the process of making this chain.
The security men told about the death of the old master. The king ordered to bring the girl in the same hall where he was sitting around the lit lamps.
There were many odd items placed. The king seemed in hurry to sacrifice the Ashmorn.
When Junan noticed Jake entering through inner door, he beckoned others to hurry and follow behind.
Jake decided how he would get his hands over the Ruby. It was simple yet risky. Anything was possible. The king might immediately kill him or the circumstances may offer different scenario.
Team members hurried still they were behind. Jake saw the odd looking bones boiling in some pots. A dagger was placed at the hands of skeleton. The dagger coated with black color matched with the evil looks of the old master.
The king was sitting in the middle of the circle. A magic master was brought to complete the rituals since the old master was killed. A five years old girl cuffed with the chains looked at him when his eyes wandered in the hall.
Many security men hurried to stop him however Jake rushed toward the kind and fell near him. The king stood up forcefully making him stand. At the same time Junan and others entered in the hall. Team head stood agape. He was not expecting the younger player to commit any foolish action.
The king saw the rest of runners and laughed. He held Jake glaring them. "Do you care this kid?" the king was unsure actually. According to rumors the arena runners would sacrifice themselves to save the Ashmorn. He wanted to know whether they would do the same or change their actions.
Junan surveyed the hall and saw the five years old girl. He pitied her condition however he should save her. But after few moments he carefully looked at the younger player to understand the reason behind these actions.
He noticed the visible streaks of confidence on his face. Team head was able to understand that the younger player had some plan in his head. "I care for my fellow runners. I would not interfere in the rituals if you let the kid go." Junan answered the king.
The king got shocked to hear this. He was not expecting this answer. Had it been another answer, the hall would have disappeared from their eyes immediately because the king prepared for similar situation. Jake was immensely glad at the answer of the team head. He was able to steal the Ruby from the king when king dragged him to stand up.
Ashmorn heard the answer. She was blinking her eyes as if she never expected it. All Ashmorn ha full control over the Arena Runners. The Arena Runners never betrayed Ashmorn yet today the history changed with the words of the team head.
The king gestured his men to capture the kid and wait till the rituals end.. he wanted to make sure that other runners should not start battle here.
