Chapter 609 A new day
Chapter 609 A new day
Scar-face knew he made a slight error in his calculations. The horde would have been an unstoppable unit if it had been provided with the backup from the blood merchants.
With proper cover from tier 4 members of the blood merchant organization , the giants would have easily ran amok the Purplehaze City. Yet , now that possibility was out of the question.
Not only could he not go against the war contract , but he could only watch in despair as Rudra went head to head with the giants.
' Is there no limit to his power ? ' , Scar-face questioned as Rudra had mentained that form for over 22 minutes now and was showing no signs of slowing down.
As a veteran himself he knew that such special abilities had a massive burnout for the user , most likely large amounts of stamina and Mana were being burnt every second , yet Rudra's reserves were large enough to let him last this long , which was a testament to his strength.
However right at this moment , a change occured in the horde , as they abandoned all hopes of defense and started to rush towards the wall madly.
Even the two giant's ignored Rudra , and started to run straight for the wall!
Rudra was baffled by this sudden development , he realized the target of the giants , but the three of them were fighting only 1.5 km from the wall and he could by no means tackle both of them in before they could ram into the wall , as the two were atleast 100 meters apart horizontally.
' FU**!!!!!! ' , Rudra did not anticipate this , he could only tackle one at the most , but the other one would run through a section of the wall like a freight train.
Having no time to think about it , Rudra charged behind one of the giants , who was constantly being stabbed all over the body by anti armour ballistae , all sorts of mage spells and uncountable arrows.
Some arrows even hit Rudra as he was running exactly behind the giant , but Rudra did not care as he tackled the creature from behind and plunged both his swords through his back.
Rudra tackled the barbaric giant 500 meters before the wall started , but he could under no instance stop the other one .
He was just not quick enough in this humongous form and the giant was already too close . It was game over ..
The giant raised his massive club , as a rain of arrows and attacks landed on his body.
Even his significantly LARGE HP pool showed visible signs of depletion as it entered a bright yellow region. However despite the constant attacks the giant was hellbent on breaking the wall and on his tail were the entirety of the horde who were waiting for their chance to storm the city.
This strategy was suicidal , even if they did manage to breach the wall they would not go much further as they would simply not have enough numbers , but that seemed beside the point to the horde at the moment as all they wanted to do was breach the damn wall.
Rudra looked on in despair as he started to run towards the second giant with his head down. His avatar size rapidly loosing height as he dropped from 300 foot to 150 in a matter of 3 seconds.
As Rudra's size decreased his mobility increased as he was incrementally faster , but it will still not enough . He had no hopes of reaching in time.
Having his head down , Rudra waited for the sound of stone crumbling and wall shattering as he cursed his lack of foresight in the situation.
But he was wrong .....

( Jhonny's POV)
Jhonny was not the most skilled player of the elite elders , he was not the luckiest either . If he had any quality it was situational awareness.
He was the most experienced member and he had ice flowing in his veins as he could pretend to be calm even when a storm was raging above his head. However after years of bullshitting through such situations he actually managed to become calm in the face of danger as he became a critical thinker.
As a man in his fifties , Rudra and the lot were like his own kids for him , with there being a 30 year age gap , and hence he always looked out for them with a fatherly eye.
Even when rampaging on the battlefield with his formless self and daggers that did not miss , Jhonny had his eye at the bigger picture and he could instantly analyze how to deal with unexpected trouble.
When he saw the two giant's suddenly changing directions and charging towards the wall , completely ignoring Rudra. He knew that the plan was to punch a hole through the wall and Rudra could do nothing about it.
As he saw the kid running after one giant , he sighed as he killed an orc and said " Guess I'll take the other one then ".
Although he could not fight against a giant like Rudra could , he had one Trump card in his arsenal that could give Rudra enough time to reach the giant.
With only 300 meters left for the giant to cover , and the elites on the wall starting to abandon their post and bracing for impact . Jhonny appeared out of nowhere .
" RAWRRRRRRRRRR" A terrifying roar different from a dragon's was heard on the battlefield as a dinasaurus about 200 feet tall charged to intercept the giant before it could reach the wall.
BAM! ... CRASH!
The dinasaur headbutted the giant from the side at full momentum , as the giant was knocked off its feet and forced to roll thrice on the ground , rumbling the earth to its core.
The dinasaur itself started to stagger helplessly after taking a brutal impact to its head , losing 25% of its hp and being stunned with confusion. However even though it put itself in harms way , it did achieve the objective for which it was summoned , as Rudra got enough time to stop giant number 3!

( Rudra's POV)
Rudra waited for the sound of the wall crashing down , however instead he heard a very familiar roar of a dinasaur!
Rudra looked up and saw the most surreal scene of his life as a dinasaur came running towards a giant and headbutted the giant in his chest , knocking it off its feet.
' Sir Jhonny i love you ... ' Rudra thought at that moment as he instantly used wooden necklace powers to produce a choker around the fallen giants neck , immobilizing it's movement.
Rudra had shrunk down to only 50 feet and he looked puny now compared to the giant , however still he chose to stand on the giants chest as he used solar beam to end the giants life by piercing it's heart clean!
Standing on the corpse of the third giant , Rudra shrunk even faster as he buckled to his knees after losing the last shred of his stamina.
However even completely exhausted , he had a wide smile plastered on his face as he looked towards the dinasaur who had Jhonny standing on its head with his arms folded.
Rudra's image of the most reliable member of the elites was reinforced at this moment as he had boundless gratitude for this man to be in his guild.
His charisma and accomplishments were off the charts and his fanbase was larger than Rudra's back in country J.
He was the ultimate middle aged uncle of all time.
Scar-face and the dark shaman were left with their eyes twitching looking at the development as their brains could not comprehend the absurdity of the guild true Elites.
Some members rode giant ducks , some members rode dinasaurs and the guild somehow summoned dragons and earth splitting spells out of nowhere.
Curses turned to become buffs and what was supposed to be a simple task of breaching a wall became a herculean challenge!
Nothing made sense while fighting the elites and even the good became the bad as it was safe to say that day 1 and night 1 was a complete failure for the attacking forces.
While the days failure was due to unseen factors , the nights failure could be accounted to two men only . Rudra and the last minute hero Jhonny English!
With the whole guilds and the world's attention now on the old man , Jhonny knew he needed to act cool as he said looking towards the sky " Don't worry kids . Papa Jhonny is here ".
