Chapter 80 - The Boss IV
The boss IV
They were communicating with the gestures. With regard to the disability of the Python and the slow pace they could work and change their apparent moves. It would confuse the Python.
All attention of the Python was fixated to capture the players and throw from the ridge. Orin was near because he was ordered to keep the Python engaged. Clark was giving helping hand while Albert was trying best to let Orin closer for the attack.
They were still worried the poison liquid might fell on their heads. Ahram prepared for big sprint in order to bring the young player along. The aim was to reach near the head.
There were two methods. The first one was almost impossible because they did not possess stronger or bigger chain to pull the head down on the ground. Contrary to that Ahram would let the young player reach near the head for the attack.
Ahram threw the chain toward the nearest creeper tower. It was all made of creepers however strong enough to take the burden of two players. If they directly jumped then the Python could easily shook its head and throw them toward the ridge.
The ground was getting tainted with the liquid poison spreading due to the injury of the Python. It was another trouble. The team members could slip badly from the ground and fell in front the Python.
Python capture the mace when Orin tried to attack. Orin was hanging like dummy. He was looking at the sides as to where he could jump however he might leave mace behind.
The Python shook its head and Orin fell at the right side near the ridge. Sashi reached at the last minute and held his hand. Orin gasped with horror. He faced death right in front of the nose.
Albert was about to lose all color on his skin to see where Orin fell with this slamming. There was much distance and single sprint could not let him reach there to help.
The Python got aggressive seeing that the players were still intact from big damage. It went on rampage mood. The tail was constantly slamming against the ground and creating troubles for the players. Its pace also increased.
It was looking like they might get defeated. They were unable to stand firmly or put any attack in this situation. Three hours went past in the struggle.
They were so much invested in the problems that they almost ignored the time limit. None of them was slacking still it was more than challenging to give fatal damage to the Python.
During this mess Ahram helped Jake reach at the creeper tower. Currently the Python dragged its body toward Clark to capture or at least throw some liquid poison.
"I will wait here for the right moment. You will go down and help Clark with your chain." Jake spoke. He could not tell when he will be able to attack with the weapon.
Ahram understood and jumped from the tower. Clark was near Python and trying to stop its mad movements. It was so because others were being pushed toward the ridge. When Python noticed that half of them were near the ridge, it thought to use the huge body and let them fell.
Ahram was at the other side so he knew why Jake asked him to help Clark. Ahram waved its chain and captured Clark. He brought him away from the ridge and the Python.
Clark was flabbergasted at first but let him do the job. Later Ahram captured Albert away from the Python. Orin was in good condition despite the slamming. Clark voiced out loud. "Stay away from the ridge." Orin picked Sashi and ran toward where Junan was standing.
The Python was almost on their heads and if not run then they would definitely face slamming again. They did not notice that the Python was unknowingly bringing them toward the ridge.
Python got annoyed to see one after the other team member being snatched right from under the nose. It opened its big mouth and rushed toward Ahram.
Ahram was standing at the position where he should be according to Jake. With every hour slimming the battle ground was also narrowing. The distance decreased. The players, the Python and the ridge were getting closer.
Every move proved time taking. It was not easy for them to defeat it. No one noticed they were reaching half of their hp. This nerve pulling battle was dragging earlier. With the limited battleground it might end soon.
There was no way that the players could make bigger attack at once however there was possibility that the Python could drag them in the ridge.
Jake took deep breath seeing that Ahram was able to fulfill his task. He jumped from the tower when Python was hovering over its huge head at chain player.
It was the closest position for Jake. He held weapon firmly and shouted just to get necessary courage. Three feet dagger pierced head. In no way it could have worked on the Python if not head. There was big source of poison in the particular place where the weapon pierced.
This poison was actually harmful for the Python. According to the instructions of the system the developers created some weaknesses in the bigger bosses.
The players could manipulate them only if they know about it. Jake was informed earlier. The courage and the efforts were on his part. The right types of actions were also done by him. He was furthermore guiding other experienced players.
The poison busted in the big head. Jake left the weapon there and fell from above. Ahram barely reached on the appointed place and throw chain toward Jake. This slowed down free fall. Albert spread big shield. Jake fell in the shield.
There was chaos all around them. They retreated in hurry while Albert kept spreading shield while running. Huge eruption of the body parts occurred. They saw the falling body of the Python. There was only half an hour left and they were able to kill the Python.
Clark was about to scream with horror that the body might fell on them, the exit of the game portal appeared in front.
