Chapter 465 - Busting Through
Chapter 465 - Busting Through
From the moment that Rudra looked at the situation , he knew that the best way to clear floor 87 was to somehow push through the corridor without loosing members and reach the place behind the cover where the terrorists were using guns , to level the playing field and nullify their advantage .
However the problem was the thinned numbers . 65 members would die in a flash before Rudra could even completely say charge . While Rudra needed to keep 85% of them alive , if not all to deactivate the bombs.
The earlier stages were only to set up this level , as the purpose of the dungeon uptill now was only to thin down party numbers soo that the difficulty of the last level went incrementally up.
Technically , inside the light faction country of Hazelgroove , there should be no dark faction necromancer roaming around. Or any profession like a zombiemancer or pumpkinmancer in any party. Hence spawning meat shields should not be possible for any of the light faction players. However Rudra with his mana legion was different.
Capable of summoning 2000 mana soldiers Rudra had the perfect meat shields to Strom towards the terrorists.
This was something the level was not designed for , as in royal road such skills were not possible to be brough in-game , hence the difficulty of pulling such a stunt off was impossible.
However this was Omega , and here Rudra was capable of pulling this technique off. Hence he summoned 2000 mana legion soldiers and swarmed a narrow corridoor using them as meat shields to advance.
The terrorists rained fire on the mana legion soldiers as dozens fell every second. But Rudra only needed a few seconds to cover the 50 meter long corridoor as more than 400 mana soldiers and the elites joined the fray at close range against the terrorists.
Swords unsheathed , necks of the terrorists flew as they could only stare in horror at how their brilliant encampment was blown open by brute rushing.
There was no sophisticated strategy that the elites had used throughout the dungeon , only using superior skills and brute force to open up a path for themselves as within 2 minutes the elites wrapped up the battle against the terrorists with 63 members still alive.
From then on , started the complicated and rushed process of bomb defusing , as the large clock ticked over their heads threatening to blow up as the countdown hit 0 .
The memory recall of royal road players ran at an electric speed as they remembered the process of dismantling the security system and getting to the wire mainframe . As they tried to do the process hitch free.
When all the seven stations were finally ready with the defusing , it was already showing 20 seconds on the clock. It was then that Rudra calmly gave the call " Everyone cuts the wire together when the clock hits 5 seconds " .
Everyone nervously looked at the clock , it was as if they were back again in highschool attending a fair where there was the game that gifted prices if you stop the timer on exactly 1000.
However , that game had no real stakes whereas this game had the entire guilds hardwork riding on it.
Imagine being that guy who messed up the last part of the last dungeon run . Because of whom the entire guild had to do it again.
Sweats tripped down everyone's foreheads as every second felt like 10 under the watchful eyes of those who were cutting the wires.
Unlike in royalroad when they would have wire cutters , here someone had a dagger to the wire tip while someone had a sword and someone had an axe. It was quite the funny scene , yet exactly at 5 seconds with reflexes of professional gamers everyone fluidly cut the wire at the same time!
Station one cut the violet wire , station two cut the indigo wire while station seven cut the red wire.
The timer stopped at 004.97
As the bomb was successfully defused!

( Meanwhile in hell )
Aman was currently working hard towards breaking into tier 5 . As he believed that only by breaking into tier 5 would he be able to take his brithright , his place as the emperor from his father.
Everyday high level beasts would be injured and incapacitated and thrown at Aman's feet to be slayn , as he would gain massive EXP from it.
It was a service staged by him from Lucifer who wanted Aman to quickly grow stronger and increase the divinity concentration in his blood. As slowly Lucifer began to see Aman in a different light.
Aman was the golden goose who laid golden eggs for Lucifer as , for as along as he could control this goose , he would steadily see improvement in his power.
Aman was only a cow being raised for the slaughterhouse in hell . Yet he was not aware of this reality yet. Being treated with respect and reverence , Aman felt like a true prince for the first time in a long time .
His disgust for Lucifer slowly fading as his mind conceived a notion that Lucifer did not mistreat him and actually respected him. However the king of demons respected noone , not even god . Much less some ant like Aman.
