White altar 4

Fourth quest

Junan kept eyes at the team members whether they were working harder or slacking. He also surveyed glances in the surrounding. He felt as if the boss was keeping eyes at him.

It was good sign that the boss would show up soon. From the time they appeared in the white altar team head observed that it would not add up much to their jobs for the third boss or second boss.

So he could pretend that he was easy and free to sit and talk while the boss could make up his mind for battle.

Junan sensed that the boss would need some time for the last decision till then he could sit with ease.

Jake was thinking what possible question team head could ask. He wanted to create ready-made answer. "Your performance has broken all records. Do you know your current reputation scale?" Junan started the conversation.

Jake got shocked but he did not show any expression on his face. He remembered task panel mentioning the reputation and for this reason he was forced to create official account.

"I did not check what is happening around. I am currently focusing on the each level." Jake could not think another excuse.

"Very well let me tell you then. You are leading on the first place. It means the live audience of the portal has set eyes on you, this also means the number of your enemies have increased. In the third level the opponent could not survive however the scenario might change soon. The owner of our team is worried for you. He might have talked with you directly however I took this responsibility. Do not hesitate to take help of any team member if you face more than one enemy." Junan took pause for a moment.

Jake pretended as if he was surprised to hear.

He was actually very well acquainted with the enemies and knew they would try to silence him. With each advance level of the portal they were getting angrier.

There was no doubt that they would send players to kill him.

"There is something expected after level five. Third team might stay for longer till six to ten levels were explored by the others teams. Those who survived will move in the levels ahead. Perhaps the other teams are scared that our presence might make it impossible for them to survive. So they are planning to let us stay for five levels. You can imagine the later scenario." Junan took another pause.

He gave a glance at the corner of the track. The corner of the structure was stable and he could see the axe of the woodcutter. It was just glimpse.

Probably woodcutter decided to battle with him alone. It could potentially save their time and effort.

Junan nodded but kept sitting on the cement bench.

There was still time when the woodcutter would come rushing for the attack.

"This is the reason that I am trying to become stronger. My struggle is to keep the standards of team high and I do not want to disappoint team members." Jake answered.

There was no use in mentioning the enemies or the personal problems. Jake could see that team head wanted to ask about the right arm but he skipped to ask anything related the arm.

"Do you think we should make any changes in the team? Since the overall changes are going to happen after level five then we should also get ready for the direct battles." Junan spoke.

It was the opinion of the owner of the team to take the suggestion of this kid. Until now the methods and the way the younger player tackled worst situations proved that he could survive direct battles.

"Seniors can better tell about this. I think their suggestions would be better than mine." Jake knew that team head was trying to create friendly relation although the reason was unknown.

His task panel has lot of personal and urgent quests that could anytime surprise him so if Jake tried to interfere in the team's matter it would pinch him from all sides.

Junan nodded at his answer.

Through this conversation he was able to understand the nature of the kid. He was different from the boys of his age. This was enough for the team. None of the team member be it experienced or inexperienced player all of them were sincere for the future levels.

Junan stood up because the woodcutter came rushing. He was looking like some desperate person who did not want to let someone take the card.

Corners of his lips dried as if he remained busy in the woodcutting all day long. There was wooden covering on his biceps and the forearm.

The axe was shining in his hand.

"Kid you can go and take a look what others are doing with the cottage." Junan ordered Jake and he went back.

Junan could see from afar that the cottage was still intact from big damage while the team members were running around. They put few attacks.

Junan started professional battle with the boss. The card was engraved at the front wooden cover on the chest.

It made it easy for him to carry the battle and defeat. Both were level three and the boss was not using the force of the card or he thought that it would not help in the battle. It was due to the reason that wooden helpers were killed.

This made the woodcutter believe that the card might not help much in the direct battle. Still he was willing to battle for the sake of the card.

The axe approached near the head Junan rolled side flip. He did another side flip to give surprise hit at the chest. The wooden cover broke and the card fell.

It was not enough because the woodcutter was not using the force of the card so he could continue the battle. However he was distracted to see the card fell on the extra white ground.
