Chapter 626 Ice in his veins
Chapter 626 Ice in his veins
Yume's talent was one of a kind in Omega , and although it came with a heavy price of him being reduced to a support class. He was basically the ultimate support class of all support classes .
Just his presence alone buffed allies and debuffed opponents and although the powerup wasn't insane enough to mitigate large differences , in a close battle his presence could tilt the scales of the battle .
And while Rudra was pushed on the backfoot while facing Scar-Face , yume's arrival and the consequent buff changed the entire game.
The truth about Rudra's stat distribution uptil this point was that his stats were extremely evenly distributed at a 1:1 ratio , hence while he had the same amount of stats as a level 460 player , he did not have the same kind of distribution .
Scar-Face had spent more of his stat points on strength and speed rather than vitality and mana hence his peak speed and strength were stronger than Rudra by a margin which was why he was able to suppress Rudra in a one vs one fight.
However with a small buff of 15% to all stats that came with yume's presence , the scales of the battle evened out.
Although Rudra did not understand how he suddenly felt a burst of strength in his limbs , after a few moments he realised that it must be because yume was around as he finally started to push back against Scar-Face.
Finally being able to defend against Scar-Face's brutal attacks , Rudra was able to mount a proper defense and exchange strike with strike against him.
He had lost a total of 27% HP uptil this point by fighting Scar-Face for a total of 70 minutes.
To the onlookers it seemed clear who the eventual winner was going to be . But the Elites never lessened the support for their leader , their shouts only getting louder with every passing moment.
At first only a few hundred troops witnessed the battle between the two Titans , but as time passed , more and more onlookers arrived at the scene as by the 70th minute it was a crowd of a few hundred thousand.
Technically the soldiers should be fighting each other and war should be raging on at all sides of the battlefield , however men were irrational creatures and blood thumping fights often caused a ceasefire in war to witness the mesmerizing fight sequence .
Especially a fight between leaders was always watched with scrutiny as the pride of the army was as good as their leaders pride who lead them.
At this moment the blood merchants had their heads high .
The elites were restless but their faith in their leader was absolute , because uptil this day although thousands had faced Rudra . Not one could ever defeat him!
The invincibility of Rudra was a holy topic within the Elite guild members , as often during drinks the topic of invincibility of their leader would be brought up.
Put simply , Rudra was the heart , soul and pride of the true Elites guild and he had carried the place on his back to make it the giant that it was , and the elite members acknowledged that achievement.
Hence no matter how bad the situation looked , there was only one chant that reigned supreme on the battlefield ...
' SHAKUNI! , SHAKUNI! SHAKUNI! , SHAKUNI! '.
hundereds of thousands of Elite soldiers banged their weapons and thumped their foots as they chanted the name of their leader and glared down at enemy merchant soldiers!
The blood merchants tried to start a chant of their own but their voices were drowned when compared to the elites , as the merchants followed Scar-Face out of fear while the elites followed Rudra out of respect!!!!
And such heartfelt support could only be found with genuine love and respect , as the chants came from every fabric of their being.
If Scar-Face won ... It was his victory
But If Rudra won it was an elite victory! The difference was like heaven and earth.
As the chants got louder and louder , Rudra felt the energy coursing through his veins as well as he could not let the boys see him beat down anymore!
Initially his plan was to keep taking Scar-Face 's hits until his stamina wears thin , as moving so fast and firing at all cylinders he was bound to get tired sooner or later , but hearing the incredible support and feeling the burst in his own strength due to yume's presence , Rudra decided that the time to counterattack was now!
As Scar-Face closed in for a attack , Rudra used Solar Flash to create a blinding flash as he caught Scar-Face off-guard and momentarily blinded him.
In that one short moment he used one legged leap to leap into the air , as he used another solar beam from 90 degrees vertical to pummel Scar-Face into the ground!
BAM! A strong explosion of intense light crushed Scar-Face from above as the attack dug a well inside the ground burying scar-face inside and propelling Rudra far high into the sky!
However even mid air , Rudra was not done as he alternated powerful slashes from siege breaker and grim reaper , as thick sword qi attack barrage entered the freshly created well and formed a series of explosions inside.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Smoke and dust came out of the well as Rudra landed on the ground , however he had not landed without pulling a fast one , as right before landing he threw a grenade inside the well .
BABOOM!
the well exploded in his back , as Rudra walked opposite to the explosion in a calm demeanor that looked extremely cool.
Looking at the crowd of elites chanting for him , he raised both his hands in the air , and waved at them and encouraged them to shout louder.
' THATS IT GUILDMASTER ... GET HIM! '.
' KYAAA SOO COOL ! '
' HAHAHA , THAT'S THE GUILDMASTER WE KNOW... '
' UR DEAD UGLY FACE '.
The elites cheered loudly , as a screech interrupted their cheers.
" SHAKUNIIIIIII ". Scar-face was enraged as he came bursting out of the well with a new scar across his nose.
" Just when i thought u could not get any uglier .... U prove me wrong ". Rudra joked as he crossed swords with scar-face one more time , his remarks making scar-face green with rage
He could not understand how a nobody and a weakling like Shakuni could stand toe to toe with him despite their vast level difference and that proved to be a fatal mistake.
In trying too hard to assert his dominance over the other , he messed up his battle plan and fell into Shakuni's trap.
The moment that Shakuni realised that Scar-Face had too much pride as a warrior that could be wounded to rattle him. He did his best to make his big moves look easy and humiliate his opponent.
The reality of the situation was that he only had one peak tier 4 skill which was the solar beam , yet both of his uses of the move were spot on to force Scar-Face into humiliating positions.
Although he failed to kill him using them , he did manage to rattle him , which was his plan from the start. As now he could exploit every mistake his opponent made until he wore him down.
It was the mastermind at work , and Scar-Face was the latest victim.
