Chapter 289 - One V One Fight (3)
( 3rd Match , round of 32)
Rudra was in battle stance , his opponent this time was from Sri Lanka , his name was Ranga and he was a swordsman class player.
Rudra had heard about Ranga , he is from Adam's guild , a fellow associate from Grey international. Too bad they were enemies here , or else Rudra would have loved to exchange some pointers.
Just as the match started , Ranga immediately unleashed his class special move , 100 swords descent. It was the most powerful move in his arsenal , and could be used from a 30 meter distance , he did not need to close in the distance. He knew Rudra was too strong for him to fight head on , hence he unleashed his best move right from the start , trying to gain the uppoerhand in the battle early .
When the terrifying sword qi came his way , Rudra's eyes widened in shock , he was thinking about closing in the distance , however he was forced to retreat. Retractable shield opened in his arms , and with a strong BANG , when the sword qi hit the shield , Rudra was forced back about 5 steps.
A damage of -20 appeared on his HP bar , by the sheer force of impact. Although the epic rated shield absorbed much of the impact , it still sent Rudra staggering backwards. This was the first time ever that he took damage.
Smiling , Rudra pushed in just after recovering from the impact. Even though Ranga had inflicted damage , he knew that he had failed miserably in his attempt , his strongest move could only inflict a -20 damage , he could not gain an advantage and his trump card was wasted.
In the exchange of swords that followed , Ranga slowly but surely felt that even though he was the one with the swordsman class , his swordsmanship was wayy inferior to Rudra , each and every move of him parried , while he had no answers for Rudra 's relentless attacks that chipped his HP.
Slowly but surely his hp turned from green to yellow to red. Ranga was getting more and more deseprate by the second , hence in a wrong move , he tried to use his legs to kick Rudra off balance , his leg swipe missed , and Rudra jumped .
Rudra used overhead slash to finish the match in a massive blow!
Match number 3 ended with Rudra winning in one minute and 55 seconds.
--------
Derek Ray : what a performance by player ' Shakuni ' , except for the first grand move by Ranga, that caught Shakuni off-guard, he could not get in any tangible offense later in the match.
Lee Dixon : Yes absolutely Derek , a convincing performance by the leader of the True Elites , his limits are yet to be tested in this competition.
Derek Ray : Every consequent matches are a treat to watch Lee , the strong are being filtered from the weak , and the competition is getting interesting.
Lee Dixon : will challenger number 4 pose any threat to guild master Shakuni? Let's find out in round of 16!

( 30 minutes later , round of 16 )
Rudra's next opponent was surprisingly a mage. Rudra actually knew this opponent very well , the mad mage Alem Sora , nicknames ( ' crazy b*** of Ghost kingdom ') she had a strong reputation.
A mage being in a one v one fighting tournament was odd , this is because inherently a mage is a PVE class and not a PVP class , they have weak defenses and are helpless when someone closes in on them.
A mage needs time to cast spells , hence once someone closes In on them , and starts to attack rapidly , they are at a disadvantage. However this was not the case for the mad mage Alem Sora.
As a newbie she only practiced fireballs day after day , even when others left the beginner village , she stayed and kept practicing the only move. Raising it's proficiency to expert level. For being the first mage in the game to have achieved the feat of mastering a spell till the expert level , she was awarded the ability to insta cast the perfect fireball.
That meant that not only could she instacast the fireball spell , the damage was pretty high as well. This made closing in on her very tricky , as a point blank range barrage of fireballs could defeat any opponent. She could not be underestimated .
Just as the match started , Sora mocked Rudra by saying " Ohhhh , it's you , the Favourite to win the table , the leader of True Elites, the arrogant tyrant ..... Hohoho I'm soo scared .... Ahahaha".
Rudra's eyebrows twitched , she was called the mad mage or more appropriately ( the crazy B***) for this very reason , she had a unstable personality and a foul mouth.
Sora continued " Comeon , do you dare to take one Spell from me? , Just one , let me cast my strongest spell , and lets see if you can withstand it ..... Hahhaahahhaa fun ... Soo fun . Yes , take one spell from me .... You must ..... If you do survive , I will take one from you as well ... What do you say huh ? Fair...fair? It's fair eh? ".
Rudra knew perfectly well how to deal with such crazies , he replied " Playing games eh?? ".
" Hahaha , yes Omega is a game , it's fun , let me hit you with my spell , stay still now". Saying soo , she started to chant her spell.
Rudra could have technically waited for her to cast and used full counter to return that spell back to blast her to smithereens , however he did not wish to do that , full counter was his ace in the hole that he did not want to reveal untill the very last second.
Rudra smirked , the crazy had dug a hole for herself , like hell Rudra would give her time to cast her spell. Closing in fast , Rudra used his strongest sword move ..... The World Slash , the elven sword shined brightly , as a devastating sword qi slah emerged , cutting the dumbfounded Sora in half. One hit KO!
Before teleporting out Rudra calmly said " Sorry , I don't have time for no games".
When Sora teleported outside , she started to wail and scream , she screamed soo hard that her vocal cords started to feel the intense strain " Cheaterrrr!!! How dare you cheattt , rematch I want a rematchhh , aaghhhhhhh ". Could be heard.
While the viewers watching worldwide wanted to criticize Rudra , noone could actually do it , an ideal hero from an anime would have maybe entertained the crazy Sora , taking one move before returning one of his own , however this was no anime , this was reality and here what Rudra did made complete sense. Sora was a fool , and she paid for her mistake.
Hence round of 16 ended for Rudra with him defeating Sora in 22 seconds.
---------
Derek Ray : Well Derek , Shakuni wins again , what a terrifying sword move he produced eh .... I've never seen it before , what is it?
Lee Dixon : I don't know Derek I don't think he used it in the beat the clock challenge , just how many cards has this man kept hidden , how unfathomable is his real strength ?
Derek Ray : well , we will find out later in the competition Lee , it was a convincing victory for Shakuni however some may call it cowardly of him to attack a helpless Sora
Lee Dixon : I don't agree Derek , Sora took it too easy , this ain't kindergarten , this ain't a fairyland , this ain't no game , Shakuni plays to win , any smart man would not let such an obvious opening go . I think it's Sora's fault completely.
Derek Ray : well irrespective of how he did it , he won , Shakuni moves on to round of 8!
