Lava coursed through the gaps left open by the stones.
Upon full formation, the stone beast began to attack the players.
All players's had their weapons activated except for Blaze who was. Now frantically clicking on random buttons in order for what we call "luck" to occur but,…nothing worked.
Suddenly, the stone beast began to jump up and upon landing, a huge trail of electrifying rocks that's prickly and hot at the same time, would appear from the ground, rushing at a fast pace, in the direction which its hands were facing.
All Blaze could do was move about while avoiding the trails of rocks which would eventually disappear back into the ground after a few seconds.
He was okay with running because no matter how much power, attack and blast used on the stone monster, its HP wouldn't even budge.
And Blaze also took notice of another thing…
Everytime the rock trail attack, launched by the stone beast, gets to the spot where the frozen flower at the center of the room was,it would go around it instead of going through it.
And every time a player gets close to the frozen flower,the stone beast would become very aggressive and launch multiple attacks at the same time, to push the players away from it.
His brain began to analyze the whole information and after a while,he came up with two different speculation.
Firstly, it's either the stone beast can't get close to the flower because it was frozen or secondly,the stone beast was trying to protect the flower from harm.
"It couldn't be the first" Blaze thought "because,why would a beast made of stones be afraid of a meager flower".
" That leaves number two" he said "but why?"
After that, Blaze wanted to confirm his suspicions by aiming for the flower and,he was right because every time he got close to the flower,the stone beast would leave its current fight with the players and aim for him with multiple strikes.
" What is it about this flower" Blaze said while rubbing his chin "something is not on track here".
He then tried to pull the flower, which angered the stone beast, causing it to move from its original spot and stand close to the flower.
"Interesting" Blaze thought.
Suddenly,a trail of rock rushed towards him and he barely escaped with a third of his HP being drained.
It seemed like the other players finally understood what was going on, because they started to aim for the flower but all their attempts were futile.
The stone beast, sensing that its secret was revealed switched to a more powerful attack strategy.
It would send out strips of electricity which unfortunately touched a player with a machine gun and instantly,all his HP was drained and he was out of the game.
After that,the strips multiplies by two with each aimed at different players.
Adding more efforts,a player with a big blast gun aimed for the flower with a huge ball of energy.
The stone beast, upon seeing the approaching threat,tried to deflect or at least counterattack it but it didn't end well...
The huge blast of energy, colluded with a strip used by the stone beast causing a mixture of overly high voltage power which resulted in a big blast which sent both the players and stone beast flying to different directions at the same time.
The blast also affected the flower which was destroyed.
The ice around it, instantly melted, the flower blown to smithereens and the lava surrounding it, which was condensed to hard rock, when it was frozen, cracked and exploded.
...…
The display of light was blinding and Blaze couldn't help but cover his eyes.
Meanwhile, Blake sensed something wrong and opened a different tablet on his holographic projector and started scanning and after awhile, found a sneaky virus somewhere in the visual reality world.
He clicked rapidly on his keyboard and tried to eliminate the virus but,it just wouldn't die.
"System err…system error" Blake suddenly began to say with a slight glitch detectable in his tone.
The scientist of the real world called him via a projection of their image.
"Blake…Blake,do you copy " the black scientist said but Blake continued with his warning alert "System error!…System error!"
" Sir,a virus has been detected within the VRW (visual realistic world),all system is failing and…and…" A fair skinned woman wearing a short lab coat said.
"And what!" The black scientist yells in frustration because non of this was called for.
"The Synth Mind Bot is loosing power and I'm afraid if it continues, the neuro sync with the patient would be cut off, and his brain could potentially be damaged and…and…he could die!" The woman replied and Blaze's parents walked in at that moment.
Instantly, Blaze's mother collapsed to the ground and lucky for her, her husband (Blaze's dad) caught her on time before she hit the ground.
"What do you mean by 'he could die' " Blaze's dad said coldly while holding his wife in his arms.
"No one's dying" The black scientist said with a faint smile while beads of sweats form on his head and the other women hid behind his back, clearly frightened.
The entire place went silent with only the blaring sound of the alarm issued by Blake, audible.
Blaze's dad said nothing afterwards,he just shot him a cold glare before returning his full attention to his wife who passed out.
"I'm jealous of our son" he said "you wouldn't faint for me but…" he lifted her up,bridal style and walked to a room with a levitating bed which he then lay her on and held her close.
The black scientist decided to get to work which shocked all the staffs because they'd never actually seen him do anything except issuing orders.
He sat in front of the central computer and began typing at a very urgent pace.
All the people could see were codes after codes on the main screen.
They were either bewildered or amused.
Non of them could type that fast.
It was as though his life depended on it which was obvious if speaking of Blaze's dad's Stern look.
After typing for several minutes,he clicked a button and everyone was shocked…
