Old Wood 2


    Thirteenth Quest


    The people in the Old Wood dragged the culprits in the open. They were afraid that any time the ind would sink in the water. They didn''t want to fell in the depths of water and parish.


    Their eyes fell at the people standing near the splitting ends of the ind. They were not moving however their worried expressions were evidence that they wanted to help ind in its crisis. The people might have interrupted however they knew very well that they cannot render any help.


    Junan heardmotion at some distance. He casted nce at the people. Currently he was in a mess of situation.


    The questpletion might take forever and they lost third level, this worry clouded his thoughtspletely. Jake looked at team head. "One of our weapon could help us in thepletion of the task however the yer should give permission first." His words were clear but not the entire idea.


    Junan constricted his eyes. "Give some exnation if you have idea." He hurriedly walked near the young yer.


    Jake nodded and spoke, "Pulling the entire ind near the Exazand is nearly impossible for us especially in the minimum possible time. The least we can sacrifice the chains weapon and repair the connection between Old Wood and the Exazand. In my opinion the game portal would take it as the questpletion since there is no specific condition mentioned in the clue." Jake immediately exined.


    Junan hastily looked toward Ahram. He possessed chains weapon, his permission could let the teamplete the task. Ahram also heard what Jake has to say. "I don''t mind however someone should bring me near the repair spot." Ahram didn''t know how to swim so he needed assistance of another yer. As soon as he heard the n the chances for sess lit up for others as well.


    Ahram didn''t think twice. He jumped in the water and rk rendered help. There was less time for further discussion. It was simr of jumping at thest streak of hope. The third team was well aware that their enemies were ready to see them fell in third level and ept defeat.


    Other team members remained silent, waiting for the oue of this idea. Another twenty minutes passed. rk brought Ahram at the surface five times for breathing. He was able to repair the first part of the ind, the second part didn''t take much time. Within forty five minutes the middle chain tightened the grip on both sides and the water could no more wave the ind away.


    rk helped Ahram and brought out of the water. Before he could confirm the task, Junan saw thirteenth card floating on the water. As soon as he collected in the inventory, the ind started crumbling.


    They might have gotten scared however with the card they were assured about thepletion of the quest.


    (All those who were waiting for the demise of the third team cursed their luck thousand times. None of them ever imagined that weapon could be used particrly for such purpose.


    Apart from this, most of them were jealous as to how the team members work with coboration and immediately follow the orders of the team head. Those who thought that third team would get defeated, now lost their hopes. It was time for the nning of the two teams those were selected for the level four.


    The selection was done by the first and second president. The yers were given strict orders to capture the team head of third team or kill him. In their eyes, the team head was backbone of the team. If they killed him the third team would not be able to survive any further level.


    They nned it for the fourth level to eliminate the third team. It could be one golden chance. Every day and each quest added in the poprity of the third team. It was not just the poprity that stung the enemies, the increasing support diverted to the ''Sovereign Rulers''


    This support could be lethal for other CEO''s. The portal game was introduced to umte piles of wealth and get rid the protesters. No one ever imagined that the top ss teams would lick dust in the tough levels. This created huge impact on the Guild Monarchy as well as thepanies those were backing these guilds.


    It was question of status which most of them would lose. Once again live audience was ready to submit their opinion poll. This would determine the ranking of the third team after this level. Even blinds could tell the present cement of the third team. They were unbeatable for the time being.)


    The ind reformed itself, the third team heard the activation ofst quest. Junan appreciated Jake. He was ready to see the requirements for thest level. The Fourteenth Cure'' happened to bst quest and also it wouldplete the level as well.


    It means all fourteen cards would be taken in order to release the perks of the level. Slightly the tension was lifted. There were still two hours and the hopes revived. "We are wonderful team and we will create history in the world of yers. Remember our presence has single purpose, defeat levels." Junan spoke to increase the morale of the yers.


    The unavoidable tense atmosphere was part ofst two hours. It was do or die. Team members could understand the importance of their actions, they were trying their best.


    Ahram didn''t mind losing weapon because after thest quest the levelpletion would grant level better weapon in the same range. The robotic voice sounded. "The Fourteenth Cura is thest card which got lost in the Intervals of the Cura. The yers would use their senses to search it. The Cura Intervals are the timeless parts of the The Box. The limit of two hours could be centuries if the yers lost their souls in any Interval. The Cura Intervals could torture to death, rob sanity or any unpredictable task, only thepleted task could secure the life of yers. Whoever got the card first should not dy." The team members heard brief instructions.


    In front of their eyes, the ind turned in to mysterious ce filled with darkness. At its head, there was written with big words, ''Fourteenth Cura''


    Orin stood agape after listening instructions. "Think they wanted the ending of the level as much remarkable as they could." He patted his hand on the mace.


    Albert turned toward team head, "Does this means after entering in the quest area of thest level, the burden of the time would vanish?" He asked most pressing question.


    Junan nodded, "It is as the instructions told. However I am thinking, all of us would enter inside and the Cure Intervals would separate us?" His question was equally important. The separation of team members meant they won''t be able to help each other in time of trouble.


    Sashi listened their conversation and reminded, "We should hurry. The Fourteenth Cura is closing?" They hurriedly looked toward thest quest area which was closing. It was enough to stop their hearts for few moments. They thought to discuss and some guidance from team head before entering in the quest area however the developers seemed in hurry.


    "Let''s go, defeat the Cura Intervals and get the card. Also remember thest sentence of the instructions." Junan spoke hastily and ran toward the quest area. All of them rushed madly and entered in the dark world of the timeless quest.


    (The audience thought that it will be another quest where yers would be thrown in to get the card however search forst card appeared as the death stake. They cancelled the opinion poll call in order to witnessst quest holding their breaths.)


    The dark world was not entirely dark. As they stepped inside, those who stepped at the simr Intervals ended up in the pair, for example Jake and rk appeared in the same Cura Interval because of their simr timing of stepping inside the quest area.


    Junan was thest to enter so he was all alone. Sashi stepped at the proper line of the Interval while Ahram and Albert unfortunately stepped on the iplete interval line. Both were about to disappear in front of her eyes when she extended her hand and capture Ahram. Ahram remained in the same interval line while Albert disappeared in the next instant.


    Albert shook his head after reaching in the difference Cura Interval. "I should keep in mind the choice of the girl for the next time." He turned only to met the strange eyes looking at him. The deadliest anger of the eyes were threatening. Albert thought in his head, ''What made those eyes angrier?''


    Slowly the threatening glint started influencing his sanity. It was unimaginable and powerful. Albert felt as if he was guilty of something.. The angry eyes made him bent on his knees.
