Chapter 206 - Beast Tide (3)
The fighting at the inner city wall became intense , waves of beasts started to try and attack the ma.s.sive wall infront of them. The rhinos would repeatedly ram into the walls , whereas the leopards would use their claws to directly scale the height of the walls.
Alas the wall was not made from reinforced concrete bricks , it was made from normal stone blended together by a holding paste. Under the repeated a.s.sault of the Rhino"s ramming in , it was slowly but surely cracking down.
At this point a ma.s.sive wyvern flock entered the skies of Purplehaze , easily having 20,000 members or more , and with all the sectors being busy with fighting the land troops , they flew in towards the inner district almost unhinged.
Rudra saw the ma.s.sive flock coming his way , as he unsheathed Elven sword and Excalibur . He thought " So it begins ! ".
When the wyverns came close to the inner city skies. Not wasting a single minute , Rudra activated the special ability of the Elven sword . 10,000 Cuts!
10,000 energy swords formed in the air , as Rudra launched them towards the wyvern flock..
-12,000

A Super effecfive move. The wyverns had inherently weak defenses , they were just birds with slightly thicker skins , they could not withstand the attack of the energy blades , close to 3000 wyverns perished , whereas 4000 more got their wings clipped , causing them to loose their flight skill. While 3000 more suffered injuries.
Just like that Rudra effectively took out about 30% of the wyvern flock out of action. The kills gained him a ma.s.sive increase in HP , as he needed only 30 more to level up.
The commander of Royal forces who was watching the scene preparing his own attack on the wyverns saw Rudra"s feat and nodded in appreciation.
+1000 millitary a.s.sist points !
Rudra smiled at the notification , in addition to the kill points, he also secured additional military a.s.sist points! He was quite happy!
It was at this moment that the wall was breached by a charging Rhino chief as he smashed a hole through the inner district wall.
Waves of beasts poured through the opening. The real fight started now!
Rudra nodded towards Karna who understood his task , Karna immediately took 400 Elites and went towards the direction where the wall was breached.
Rudra kept close to the military commander and Rahim , his goal was not the small merit points gained by killing the beasts but it was the 100,000 merit point bonus hanging around Rahim"s neck.
The token was supposed to be taken by Adventurers, as stated in the rules and hence it was on display out of Rahim"s neck . However the token was more of a curse than a boon.
Others only a.s.sumed the token to be a game"s trope a way to spicen things up for the city supremacy event , however their a.s.sumption was far from the truth.
Omega was a very rational game , although it had an entertainment and gaming side to it , there would never be a mindless part in a storyline . The token was actually the reason behind the beast tide and why the beasts were charging the inner city madly.
The token was a part of the soul of the beast king , the fallen immortal phoenix. It was the cause behind the event , at the time of the second update the phoenix had reached the end of his life , when he died his immortal soul broke into countless smaller pieces and scattered across the world.
The power emanated by the beast kings soul was the reason behind the beast tide. Any beast who were to consume this soul would gain a portion of the beast kings power.
While the beast kings soul scattered throughout the world , only the human kings were foolish enough to hold onto the tokens , the other races had long relenquished the tokens , as they did not wish for unnecessary trouble.
And indeed it was human greed that lead to the incoming beast tide. Now the king wanted to use the adventurers to secure these tokens , in the greed to keep possession of the 100,000 merit points token , the adventurers will fight tooth and nail against the beasts and after the fight to gain the city management rights , turn over the token back to the king to encash on those 100,000 points.
Hence taking the token from Rahim was a double edged sword , while it was true that if he managed to keep possession of the token till the end , the 100,000 points would help him a long way , however it would also put his guild under immense pressure as all the strong beasts would have their attention on the token holder.
More and more holes were being punched into the walls , while existing ones had widened up. Many portions of the wall outright collapsed because of the lack of structural integrity.
The inner city had turned into an all out battlefield , with the strongest beasts concentrated here.
At this time , Rudra looked at Yume , who smiled back at him in his monk robes , as he said " Amitabha , I am ready when you are ".
Rudra grinned this was exactly what he wanted to hear. Taking the remaining 100 elites and the infantry troops from the won knight division Rudra charged straight into the flood of beasts as he made his way towards Rahim.
Rudra"s goal was clear. He would take the possession of the token right from the start. If the beasts wanted to come , then let them come , he had the greatest Equalizer Yume by his side!
Yume activated the collector of Yin and yang bracelet as he buffed every ally in the area of effect and sapped the strength of all the beasts in his vicinity.
With a 20% increase in strength as well as a constant influx of stamina and mana , the Elites started to run wild on the battlefield. As the weakened beasts were subjected to a ma.s.sacre.
