Chapter 476 - Fight With The Sin Of Pride
Chapter 476 - Fight With The Sin Of Pride
Rudra stealthily reached the vicinity of the area where Aman was , however he was shocked to see the security around the place. He would have to turn Batman to make this situation work currently because there was absolutely no way that a massive fight won't breakout if he was spotted taking on even one security demon.
The security demon's were also all tier 3 at that , it was a formidable force , not something Rudra could one hit his way through.
Rudra really missed Furball in this situation , as she could have snuck in unnoticed and used replace to send Rudra to right where he needed to be. However summoning pets was not an option apparently in hell.
Stranded alone , Rudra now understood why this was a seven day mission. He needed to work extremely carefully to take out one guard at a time to open a path to reach the central villa where Aman was residing.
Rudra was not SMG neither was he Jhonny , he was not someone trained in stealth missions as barging his way through boldly was more of his style. However situation forced him to be as stealthy as possible.
Not being trained for this , Rudra had hesitation whenever he wanted to go jump the back of the target patrol , worrying that he would turn and block Rudra's attack alarming everyone.
Rudra had his life on the line for this mission and failure or lack of judgement was not an option. Hence for the first time since reincarnating , Rudra was indecisive in his movements and actions.
His movements could be described as clumsy and it was only a matter of time , before he was discovered.
However either mother luck was smiling on Rudra really hard , or the demon's on patrol were just incompetent , as even after his clumsiness , with the real Excalibur in hand , he was able to decapitate two guard demons without making a single sound.
Killing a single demon levelled Rudra up almost 1.5x , as he understood how much more lucrative the demon slaughter industry was compared to the wild centipede farming.
Finding a bit of silver lining in his miserable state , Rudra took his time to hunt his prey and level up , one demon at a time . Killing 7 before he was able to reach the boundry of the villa , levelling up 10 times in the process!
Rudra was level 170 now. As the common masses were not even level 80 on average , let alone Hazelgroove kingdom , Rudra was currently the top 10 in level rankings worldwide , and might just surpass everyone if given more time in hell.
However there was no chance for Rudra to enjoy his incredible boost of strength as the moment he stepped foot inside the walls of the villa. A sword passed by his cheek drawing blood impaling itself on the wall behind Rudra.
It was the sin of pride Leviathan who was on guard who had long sensed Rudra , however was patient enough to let him enter villa grounds before making a move personally.
He walked calmly towards Rudra , as Rudra realized that the opponent walking towards him was a tier 5 existance when he activated his eyes of truth and at that moment he only had one feeling inside him , and that was that he was f*****
However to his surprise , except knowing that he would die . Rudra did not feel anything else. He did not feel an overwhelming fear that would paralyze his entire being or fear of what if he had to start from 0 again. This came as a shock to him , as he had been afraid of this very situation since before coming to hell.
He absolutely did not want to face an enemy with no chance at victory and die in futility. However faced with that exact situation , he was rather calm and rational.
It was because at his core , as a man , Rudra Rajput was a solid guy. He was someone who had built himself from the ground up and had faith in himself to do it again if he needed to . Hence not worrying about the consequences of his death anymore , Rudra stared pride in his eyes with defiance.
If Rudra were going to die , he was going out with a bang . Giving his best fight yet!
To pride , who expected the human to tremble at his presence after he revealed a slither of his power , he recieved a surprise when Rudra stared into his eyes defiantly.
Initially pride wanted to handle this the easy way . Kill Rudra with just one strike and be done with it . However seeing the defiance in the ant like mortal , Leviathan's sense of pride was ignited.
Identifying Rudra as an opponent worth defeating , the sin of pride refused to kill him with an overwhelming power advantage. Rather his inner self wanted to fight Rudra at the same power level and determine the victor.
A lot of demons gathered at Rudra's vicinity once he was spotted by pride , as nasty gnarls were sent Rudra's way ,by the demon's who were only waiting to pounce on him and kill him.
However , after one snap of a finger by pride , each and every one of them laid dead on the floor , with their eyes impaled by two tiny swords
Rudra and pride were the only two living creatures left in that vicinity , as the two continued their intense staredown .
Finally pride broke the silence as he said " What an interesting human you are .... Do you know no fear? Do you not realize that infront of me , you are but an ant? From where do you get the pride to stare me in the eye as an equal? ".
Rudra had no idea about the nature of his opponent , however he knew that the opponent was a tier 5 powerhouse who could kill soo many demons without any ramifications , meaning he was a bigshot.
However , not caring to offend the bigshot , Rudra defiantly said " The name is Shakuni , Shakuni Won Knight . The dragonslayer , the demonslayer , the Duke of Hazelgroove kingdom , the honorary bishop of the church of light and the guildmaster of the NUMBER ONE GUILD True Elites .
Unbent , unhindered , unstoppable . Never have I begged for mercy from anyone , Never asked for kindness .
I'm one of a kind , even if I am an ant to you , this ant will leave it's sting before it dies! , It won't run away !"
An intense light flickered in the sin of pride's eyes , as his blood pumped on Rudra's reply . This human was definitely interesting , he was a worthy opponent to face!
-----------
(Meanwhile in Purplehaze city)
Rudra gaining 10 more levels , shot a mass-spread hysteria amongst the common players as their minds could not comprehend someone gaining 10 levels in a span on 90 minutes.
To call this speed of levelling as astronomic would be an insult to the speed at which Rudra levelled up. It was just unbelievable....
It was soo unbelievable , that now dronacharya was wondering about what the hell was Rudra doing.
Putting his plans to harass the Elites aside , dronacharya wanted to first figure out the reason behind Rudra's rise in power within an incredibly short timespan.
Knowing how he went inside the Church Of Light for sure , dronacharya knew that he had to start looking from that very point , to uncover Rudra's tracks.
For a moment , dronacharya thought that Rudra might have discovered some sort of ancient ruins , the same as the like beneath Purplehaze city , as only those places had the means to skyrocket levels like Rudra was experiencing.
However, even with his exaggerated knowledge about ancient ruins , the speed at which Rudra did things was just ridiculous and dronacharya wanted to learn the secret behind it really bad.
For a moment , dronacharya contemplated about joining the elites himself after going through the recent recruitment drives , as he was confident in qualitying with his skills . While he had absolutely no problem with relocating into Japan.
However he had to drop this idea because , even if he could join the Elites he needed to be in Nineclouds kingdom and rule over his shadow organization . Him being in Purplehaze city with the Elites would lead to him loosing his hold over these guilds , which he could definitely not afford .
Hence , for now he needed to rely on his spy inside the Elites guild to find out more on what Rudra was doing , and why was he doing it alone and not with an entire party who could benefit from it , if it was such an accessible and profitable endeavour.
