Embrace End 5

Ahram brought younger player. During flight he noticed the silent and stubborn ivies were restless.

Jake clearly knew the reason behind. It was time for the action before the opponent could get the card. But Jake wanted to inform the team head.

"We will be late if delayed any further." Jake spoke as soon as he reached in front of the team head. "One of the ivies is holding the card. Perhaps opponent team members survived and they are trying to get it."

His words brought chills for the team head. No matter what they could not let the other team capture the card. All fourteen cards were necessary for the rewards of Theola.

If the other team members got one then the box might not open.

"What is the way to get it?" Albert immediately asked.

They could not dare to jump outside it was similar of resigning from the level intentionally. Also it was not normal outside. They were stuck in the cliff rocks. Not everyone could venture at his will.

"Only Ahram could take this risk. It will be your first battle using the ability of your profession." Team head looked at Ahram. The long chains and the ability could perfectly adhere to each other if carefully handled.

Ahram nodded. He was expecting this order from the team head. During previous ride he was able to grasp hold on the chains and how he could flawlessly make connection without losing balance in the vertical sphere.

Jake interrupted before Ahram could jump outside to fulfill the order of the team head. "If you want that ivies take your side in the battle against opponent then you should call them politely. The ivies are living being in this designed quest. They could act favorable if you call them politely otherwise they might not let you capture the card." Jake explained.

Junan and Albert were slightly surprised. Now this gave some idea why Jake was worry-free when hanging on the ivy. It cleared their doubts.

Ahram was also shocked however he was ready to try this during the battle.

He jumped holding the chain. The first task was to search the card or the opponents. Both could lead to each other. The mountain was big enough to confuse all paths leading upward or downward because the hanging ivies were making it look all the same.

It potentially created challenge for Ahram. The moonlight remained the same but slightly changed the direction as if the real time lapses were happening.

The change in the light source made the ivies cast shadows. Ahram was clear that the card must be emitting light so it would make it easy to spot it.

He was in the middle of third follow up with the chain when something brushed past him. Ahram halted by taking the support of the nearest rock.

His eyes searched the culprit and spotted someone at the edge of the cave. It was mere shadow and he could tell who it could be.

Then he looked the direction. Ahram could not imagine that the card could be right in front hanging on the ivy.

Although one could only get it by the help of the ivy or the gofer profession. "I think I came at the right time." Ahram murmured. He saw second opponent trying to take the help of ivy and reach the card.

The ivies were neutral whoever would talk to them politely they would give helping hand. Someone who faced the riotous and violent surface on the cliff might feel his brain crippled to think anything rationally.

It was natural for the team members to worry for their lives. They might have taken ivies as the blessing and move around without trouble. The opponents got attentive knowing that the member of the third team was here to get the card.

One was them was ready to jump toward the card.

Ahram hurried and jumped earlier. His chain swung around as if looking for the best and strong spot for the battle.

He was literally flying very smoothly. Ahram was not worried for the battle because he was using the first ability of the gofer. It was quite unique.

According to the ability his nerves would not get influence of the exterior pressure. It would help the player smoothly use the weapon and complete the task unlike other professions.

This profession was different. Ahram felt his weightless body nearly reached the opponent; also the chain gave another wave of spot when he let it circle around the extended part of the rock.

First edge of the chain always remained in the pursuit of the spot while the second edge was fixed on the waist.

It was beautiful experience for Ahram in this profession. He was not sure how many abilities were hiding in this profession however he was impressed with the current one.

The opponent saw him. He was holding the ivy and wanted to capture the card. Ahram came from opposite and intentionally jerked the ivy with the help of chain.

The opponent was ready for some real attack but this action was more problematic because his hands slipped significantly. He was dragged down but able to stop.

Ahram moved toward the card because the second opponent could also join in. He was alone in this battle and it was not possible to keep same tracks in the vertical sphere for long time.

He reached near the card and tries to pick it but the ivy was holding it in the mouth. Ahram got shocked.

"So the ivies have mouths apart from eyes." He murmured and remembered the words of the young player.

"Shameless human, tell me why you want to snatch my card?" the ivy angrily asked.

Ahram blinked what possible answer he could give. In the meantime the second opponent reached near him. They did not want to loss chance against alone team member.

They were also familiar with the ways ivies could render help. Both were able to get help from the ivies to fight with the opponent.
