Chapter 405 - Time-skip
After buying the bones of giants from the market at a whopping sum of 650,000 gold , Rudra returned to the Smith Brothers shop to place his order. However now his conscience hurted because of the fact that he splurged soo much because he was too lazy to hunt giants.
However his time was more valuable than money right now , and the chance to get acquainted with the king of Dwargon was invaluable.
Rudra hence decided to swallow his anger and make most of the chance he had infront of him.
Even the king seemed shocked when the shopkeeper announced that a customer had cam to place a custom order . He was at the palace and had to rush to get to the shop . Generally , the Smith Brothers shop had only one or two customers in an entire year , as the requirements to place an order were too stringent.
When the king arrived in his disguise , he carefully observed the adventurer before him. Noticing his doom armour and sun god's bracelet the king was mesmerized for a moment , before his mood turned amiable for this customer.
He was a forger who appreciated beautiful craftsmanship and the man before him was someone adorned with these beautiful pieces of work . Hence he appreciated him too.
The king said " What is the custom order you would like to place .... "
Rudra smiled as he said " I saw you in the competition to make the best bear trap making the rope . Since that moment I knew that you were an excellent forger , hence despite the difficulty of obtaining these bones , I decided to undertake the risk to place an order with you , because I know you will make something transcendent , just like that rope.
Master forger Smith , please understand my request . I want you to make .... ".
As the dwarf king listened to Rudra's request his eyes widened in shock , as he thought the absurdity of Rudra's request. However analysing it critically , he knew that it was a genius idea , a work of art. Something challenging for even the greatest masters to make. Something that may well be his masterpiece.

( 90 days later , in Purplehaze city )
Only 6 days were left in the protection period of the year long protection period given by the system , after which inter City wars would be open for all to fight.
It was the final stretch of work before the inevitable fight , as the Elites and the triads were readying themselves for the inevitable clash.
The making of the mage tower was in its final finishing phase where the magic circuits were being connected and it was only a few more hours of work that was left to be put in .
Fatty kalash had worked himself to the bone to make this impossible dream possible , as he spent every single minute of his waking hours inside the game making this project.
Even soo , he still finished it 30 hours before schedule soo that he could tend after the guilds equipment and potion needs before the big battle.
Rudra was truly lucky to have a dedicated team member like Fatty by his side.
The Elites as a group had a qualitative change in them , as the average level of the Elites had touched a whopping 100 !
Neatwit had apparently broken through the level 120 barrier and was currently undergoing his tier 3 promotion quest . Whereas Rudra and Karna were fervently pushing forward to reach that threshold and take theirs as well.
It was especially hard for Rudra and Karna to focus on levelling , as even when war did not loom over the guilds heads they still had to tend to a lot of meetings and solve a lot of guild problems.
Making them very busy , but with the war over their heads the duo's workload was exponentially higher.
This made having time for levelling very hard , but even soo , they did not slack off and were on the cusp of reaching level 120.
Rudra was currently fighting a level 105 Griffin , as he was finally completely in control of his strength as an ascended.
Many changes occured in Rudra's exploration of his skills in the past 2 months as he understood the changes in himself in battle.
The prime example of which was his control over magic.
If previously his darkness blast was strong enough to break a boulder , it was now strong enough to blow apart a house
And if before it used stamina as a substitute for mana , now it used mana itself , not affecting Rudra's stamina . Having a massive change in Rudra's fighting style as he could potentially exhaust his mana and still not have to worry about how to fight against his opponents . Making his PVE abilities sky rocket.
And the secondary change was his reaction time. It just kept getting better and better and better. To the point where Rudra could now catch a diving Griffin's beak with his bare hands and break it with his palm force , before it could land a hit on him.
Rudra was an absolute monster now , literally an embodiment of one man army.
Who the Griffin dead , now was finally level 120 !

Rudra smiled , he was finally level 120! And had the qualifications for attempting the tier promotion quest !
While the majority of the playerbase in Omega was still tier 1 , he was going to be one of the very few to reach tier 3.
He did not say only , because there was a bigger beast than him roaming the streets right now , named Neatwit . Who had gone berserk after the death of his aunt.
To Neatwit this war meant everything , and Rudra was sure that he would enter the field with a vengeance.
Neatwit was an incredibly talented player , however his obsession with levelling and a bit of immaturity made him unsuitable for major leadership positions.
He was undoubtedly the guild top three in fighting ability , however that all changed once his aunt died. His immaturity fading away , he was focused on improving himself. Although still not involving himself in leadership duties despite being an elder of the guild , he was undoubtedly a changed man.
Rudra hoped that with time he would gradually blend into the role of a true elder and be able to guide the youngsters in a productive direction . But for now his revenge was more important , soo Rudra let him be.
What worried Rudra was the absence of Jhonny English , he was the one man who Rudra looked up towards for support , however he was still missing from action , with no news about his whereabouts being with even Yume.
The first batch of Elites academy recruits had graduated just last week , with the entire batch being level 75 and above. Which was a great achievement considering they were only level 10 when they enrolled 6 months ago.
There were even 5-6 breakout stars who could potentially be the pillars of the guild in future . Including the boy who challenged the upper guild management in the early days , who reached a whopping level 90 at the time of graduation.
With the recruits now in the guild robes instead of the green ones . The overall strength of the guild had increased by a lot! But more than that the guild numbers had increased by a whopping 300%.
The guild had truly prepared for this fight . It was the first time that the guild had actually prepared thoroughly for war , as before this , they were always forced into fighting with very little notice. However , now it was a planned conflict with a sworn opponent , that they knew was coming.
As a result , the guild was as prepared as it could be.
And the guild leader had one last stop to make before he was ready .... Which was promote himself to tier 3!
Rudra knew that although he was attempting this tier 3 promotion under a tight schedule , there was no scope for not getting a SSS assessment. As his entire future depended on it. Which he could not screw up for a war.
Hence before the nerve wrecking war ahead , he still had to attempt the nerve wrecking promotion quest.
//// Shoutout to Adrian_Hardin for the 2000 coin gift and to Saxon_cook for the 500 coin gift!
The golden ticket department has been extremely good this week , let's keep this pace up for more bonus chapters.
There has only been one powerstone bonus chapter this week , which is dissapointing.. I hope we pick up the pace there as well. ///
