Chapter 171 - Sage Port 2



Sage port 2

"Let\'s walk around and explore Sage port." Junan gestured them.

The surrounding was silent despite the fact that first team was trying to hide behind distant cottage. They were glad that they did not end up dying in the first quest even they were transferred in the second quest.

It was good chance to get their hands at the second card.

Third team was walking at the direction of the wind. They heard the bells of some warning. It resembled with the port opening or closing well slightly in a different way. The ground was dull and dry however they were expecting something matching with port.

Junan was leading the team so he was the first one to notice the wooden boat. There were many people standing in it. As soon as the boat stopped at the port they started getting off.

There faces were covered with the white hoody and overall the gown was black. They carried long white stick in their hands. The pendant hanging in their neck shined and they stopped. It was signs that Kari was giving them alert gesture due to the reason that card snatchers were able to enter in the Sage port.

One of the Sage walked few steps ahead. He tapped his stick on the ground and a small cottage appeared. It was right front of the third team, they could see from the distance. The clearly saw the ground opened up and the cottage came at the ground. The Sage silently entered in it.

The cottage disappeared the same way it appeared earlier. "What sorcery is this?" Junan blinked his eyes. Team members were equally shocked. They were not expecting sages to be necromancer. If it was not necromancy then they were clueless what they should call it.

"Are we going to battle them?" Albert asked grimly. He was pointing at the rest of sages. "Perhaps they are the one protecting the card if yes sure we should start a battle...?" Junan thought for few moments and spoke but before he could complete his sentence, the second Sage disappeared with the same method.

Next sage walked at the different part of the ground and tapped his pole. The sages spread one by one. They were pretending as if they did not know about the presence of the third team.

The wooden boat at the port went back in the deep waters. Team members were unable to tell whether there was someone at the boat or it was empty.

The Sage port resumed it\'s silence but this time it was stinging. "They are gone without showing themselves it means the danger is lurking around us. However I don\'t know the way they are planning against us." Junan was lost of words.

He was thinking to explore wider area of the port so that they could better make use of the time.

The sages were hidden from their eyes but when Junan spoke to explore wider area, one of the Sage appeared at the surface and attacked at Sashi.

She was ready with the arrows. The Sage appeared from the rear and attacked. She fell on the ground. The pole hit against her shoulder. The Sage wanted to attack perfectly but the girl suddenly moved sensing his presence.

The breathing of the Sage created some sound effects and Sashi felt it. Her scream attracted the attention of rest of team members.

They were curious who attacked at her. Because the Sage sneak attacked they could not see him. "Who attacked you?" Team head walked near her and supported to stand up.

"Those sages are hidden under the ground. One of them appeared out of nowhere and attacked. I am sure he came from the ground." Sashi twitched while answering.

Her shoulder hurt because of the sudden attack. All of them got alert more than ever. "These sages are actually scum to sneak attack. Get ready for blind battle." Clark spoke.

He was waving the hammer to smash at the sages. The sages were hidden and they could hear what the team members were talking. They side smiled because they were ready to defeat this team one by one.

The Sage port was named on these sages. They were sharp and cunning. Well nobody knew why they were called sages instead of sharp sorcerers.

Probably it was due to their false appearance. They were handed this responsibility to take care the Sage port. Kari was the master of these sages. He was hundred times stronger than these sages. He was keeping the card because it was giving him the Sorcery\'s energy to maintain his magic.

The magic was the base of the Sage port. Just like the name of the port the surrounding of the port was fake. It was due to the Kari\'s spell.

The ugly and bloody port was looking decent and clean. The horrible mages with their terrible weapons looked like sages with the poles. It was enough to make false impression for the team members.

Jake understood the reason why those sages disappeared right in front of their eyes. They were sure that team members would not be able to keep track of their attacks.

Jake was ready to get clue from the task panel in case he needed.

Orin was standing, he was listening to the team head when someone attacked from behind. He was about to use his thorny mace but he could not.

It was rush of attack. Sudden attack baffled him however the attack could not give him damage. It was second attack. Orin smashed thorny mace on the ground with anger.

He was angry the way the sages were doing sneak attack.

The first team saw the strategy of the enemies and got shocked. They could feel the tension among the third team however they were curious as to what make them remain there. Third team was not trying to distance instead they were planning how to handle cunning sages.

Team head spread them on some distance and spoke, "Give attention to every attack and counterattack.." He ordered strictly.
