The Greatest Beast Tamer of Earth - 187 Crossing the Bridge part 1

Rishi opened his eyes; he had completed his calculations and had already done what he could do. He looked around and saw that others were all waiting in front of the bridge connected to the other place.

There was a giant gate some meters away from the end of the Bridge on the other side. The Bridge was dusty and worn out, made from connecting grab ropes while using wooden blocks to make a base; he looked down and saw a  river of molten lava flowing at the bottom.

Falling into it will result in a very painful death; he could feel chills even thinking about it. Crossing this Bridge looked like a test before entering the boss room. He used his ‘extreme focus’ to think of ways he could help. He could use his ‘Chains of Shadow’ skill to support the Bridge if his hypothesis was correct.

He was in deep thought when he felt a warm hand on his shoulder. He looked around and saw it was Dev. “Don’t overthink; we will do it easily.”

Rishi nodded. “I know; I will be responsible for handling the Bridge. It won’t be very good if something happens to the Bridge, and you should all focus on crossing it as fast as possible. Don’t worry about me; I have my own ways to be safe.”

Dev remained silent for a while before sighing. He showed Rishi a thumbs up and said, “We will depend on you then; don’t take stress and be safe.”

They all started walking on the Bridge after everyone was ready; the sound of wooden planks cracking could be heard every time they stepped. The shaking Bridge was making it very hard to maintain balance and continue walking, and the wooden planks occasionally cracked and broke apart.

When Dilip saw that the ones at the front were struggling, he said, “I will lead; you just watch me and follow the path I take.” He started walking; his speed was very fast compared to others. His way of crossing was also weird; he randomly jumped some planks, sometimes used ropes, and didn’t even step on some planks for a while.

Strangely enough, the others followed his steps and found out they could cross the Bridge quite easily. Lalit did try to step on the plank other than what Dilip used. The plank broke, and his leg got stuck inside the crack. The others laughed at him while Dilip had a disappointed look on his face. “can’t even follow my lead,” he sighed and continued walking forward without caring about others.

The last person had crossed the other half of the Bridge, and that was when things started to get weird. First,  the wind started blowing very fast, which started shaking the whole Bridge. Everyone needed to use ropes to maintain their balance. This continued for some time before the situation became even worse.

Some skeleton soldiers appeared out of nowhere on the two ends of the Bridge and started attacking them. This increased the load on the ropes, and they started to stretch and break. All members took out their weapons and started facing the opponents; the situation was very bad, but they were all talented guys.

Dilip and Manu were very close to the end; they rushed at the opponents pushed them to the side and started to move toward the other side of the Bridge. Jay, Lalit, and Nina were a behind them; they needed to fight their way to the front. There were many enemies. It was very hard for them, as Dilip and Manu were just moving toward the front while pushing the enemies around.ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

Behind them was Vinay, who used a very strange method. He summoned his own skeleton soldier and asked it to bring his body on his shoulders like a corpse to the end of the Bridge. The dumb Skeleton Soldiers ignored him as they thought he was already dead. Lalit’s eyes popped out when he saw Vinay bypassing him. He even opened his eyes for a moment and gave him a wink before acting as a corpse again.

“This guy,” Lalit said; he didn’t know what to say; he was speechless. He could only be jealous of the dumb friends around him who could not think of any smart ways.

Dev and Rishi were at the last; Dev was fending off the enemies while Rishi was standing there. When he looked around and saw that most of the members were already about to cross, he opened his briefcase and summoned his weapons. He controlled them and used them to kill all the opponents approaching them.

He said “Dev, go; I will take care of the enemies at the back” Dev looked unwilling, but when he saw that with every passing second, the situation on the Bridge was getting worse and worse, he had to swallow his pride and walk straight toward the end of the Bridge. Here, he would only become a burden to Rishi if something happened to the Bridge.

The best he could do was cross the Bridge as soon as possible. There were many enemies blocking his path, so he threw them from the Bridge to the river of lava below and kept walking. The area was a little dark, but with his good senses, he was able to perceive his surroundings.

Rishi and his friends kept fighting for some time; the situation was becoming harder every second as the condition of the Bridge became worse with time. One of the ropes was just about to break, but it didn’t escape from his eyes. He summoned one of his chains and made it support the rope.

The fight continued. Dilip was the first one to cross the Bridge. He was thinking of helping others when he saw the giant gate before him, which had a mysterious skull at the center. The eyes of the skull shone green before it started spitting fire from its mouth.

“Shit, guys, you will need to depend on yourself to cross the Bridge. All I can do is take care of the one coming from the gate.” He said loudly before jumping at his opponents; he was trying to stop them at the gate itself. He slashed his spear from left to right and hacked every opponent into pieces.

Even when trying his best, Dilip was not able to stop all of them; some small guys escaped. He had two choices: either get in an unfavorable position by trying to stop all opponents by himself or depend on his friend to take care of the ones that escaped.

“I guess they can take care of this much on their own,” he said before starting to swing his spear even faster trying not to repeat the same mistake again.
