The Player's System

Chapter 279 – Chains

Chain

Unable to decide what was happening, Ahram let one corner of the chain fall on ground. The chain absorbed the dampness from the ground. It was now bearable enough for him to keep the other corner of the chain in his hand.

However there was problem. As the chain fell on the ground, the ability took the player a dumb host of the weapon. In fact it was angry at the player.

The reason was unknown. Ahram felt killing aura from some invisible force. The ability intended to defeat the player and remain locked. The locked will be of no use for the player.

There were abilities introduced for particular weapons. These weapons were multiplayer so the restrictions were also created.

These restrictions were part of the plan in order to distinguish difference between the weapons.

It depended on the guts of the player whether he could defeat the ability and unlock it. As Ahram threw one corner of the chain on the ground, he enraged the ability.

Cold Chain was not just an ability, it was set of locked access that could make the player stand among several. So it has required amount of arrogance as well.

However Ahram was clueless about the anger of the ability.

"Why everyone is silent?" Orin finally could not contain it. He could bear silence yet the dead silence was unbearable. Sashi was walking right behind him. She answered, "If you have plan to get the ability do share otherwise let the silence be there." Her black overall shook as she held the active bow.

They were stuck as to how they could reach the ability before the opponent team. Actually it was not simple for other team as well. There was only one player in the first team who has chain weapon nevertheless he was not confident enough to get it.

Junan was leading his team. The long corridor was never ending. The entrance of the first opening shook as few chain crawled on the floor. The odd sound of dragging echoed in the corridor.

Slowly several chains appeared from the underground facility. These were the first locked restriction of the ability. These appeared because they sensed the presence of the chain weapon. Junan stopped to see some chains crawling like snakes.

He barely held back his desire to scream. Because in the first glance they looked snakes. However the iron screeching noise helped him recognize the plight.

"There are several chains. How strange the chains itself searching us?" Junan spoke unsure. But the next move of the chains answered him straight. He was standing there, for chains he was blocking direct approach toward the particular player.

One of the chains dragged toward Junan restricting his feet from further movement. He brought out his sword. The tip of the sword tried to break free his feet. The effort could not bear fruit. He noticed as his movement was restricted the chain no more troubled him.

Junan kept struggling to set himself free and also noticed others. Albert had the same problem. The bigger shield was troublesome if he wanted to sprint in the middle of the corridor.

Orin could not distinguish be it snakes or chains. He smashed his mace. The chain let loose its grip on his feet then again he was restricted.

Clark stepped back when he noticed others. He was sure to get rid chain as they got rid snakes. However he was wrong. Their eyes fell at Ahram. Several chain surrounded him.

He tried to sprint yet the longest chain stuck at his feet forcing him down on the floor.

Thinking that previous effort was reckless he again tried. This time two different chains blocked his path. Another chain found the chance to lock around his left leg.

Before he could use the sprint again, the chains dragged him on the floor.

Jake also struggled just like others. Fired once or twice however the warning appeared on the task panel screen.

[You should eat almond, your memory is lagging. I told you not to interfere in the ability. You are making it worse for you. Stay calm and cool. Let the ability set some grudge with the player. He has guts to defeat the Lock of the ability. You stay calm, I repeat.]

Jake read the warning. He was stumped. There was nothing he could do for Ahram other than watching as he was being dragged.

Others were still struggling and in vain. They wanted to help Ahram yet they were enchained without hope of getting rid it.

They were afraid because the chain could drag them as well. It was not some good sight to see. Out of all players Jake was calm now. He occasionally used his rod to show that he was also struggling with chains.

Ahram held his chain weapon. He was focusing as to how his attack could give some trouble to the invisible enemy. He waved his chain and threw toward the chain that was dragging his leg.

The chain weapon stuck with the other chain. Ahram pulled to make sure that the chain no more drag him. The advantage of the chain daggers showed up. The other chain was simple chain and the weapon chain was laced with dagger.

If it tried to put force and drag then the weapon chain's daggers would give trouble. Ahram noticed the difference. This worked. He held his breath.

He once again pulled his weapon chain which was still entangled. This caused some impact. The other chain let loose his leg. Ahram did not move on the ground. He was unable to understand the enmity of the unknown chain.

He was clueless why the chains targeted him severely. He slightly turned his head to spot other players. They were in different situation.

As he tried to stand up, two chains circled around his right leg. He was agape that the chains wanted to nail him down.. His eyes sparkled with the thought, "I am searching the ability named Cold Chain. Does it has something to do with ability?"
