Chapter 720 Rudra"s calmness
Rudra tried his best to keep Mahrez occupied in the fight. Apparently the demon commander was not expecting his troops to fall prey to the Elite defenses so easily and wanted to intervene on several occasions, however he just could not get past Rudra.
Rudra displayed uncanny strength infront of a vastly superior opponent as he held his ground against all odds and was not pushed back at all.
Mahrez felt that maybe it was because the duo was in air that his anti-gravity skills gave him the edge needed to compete with his superior power. Hence he decided to take the fight to the ground.
However to his shock, Rudra proved to be even more agile on the surface as his battle prowess increased significantly.
Mahrez could not understand how a human still at tier 4 could compete on equal terms with him , as such a phenomena was just bizzare in his opinion.
After a while , Mahrez beleived that maybe Rudra had put all his stat points in agility and strength which was the reason behind his ridiculous strength, hence decided to use long range attacks based on mana.
He used the tier 4 move [ Chaos slash ] to send a s.p.a.ce bending sword slash that was laced with the chaotic power of darkness towards Rudra.
It was a peak tier 4 move and was supposed to cause significant damage to Rudra , however Rudra was not afraid at all.
Countering using the solar beam , Rudra met the attack with a peak tier 4 attack of his own to neutralize the incoming sword slash , creating a huge explosion.
BOOM!
A citywide explosion that broke various windows occured as the two tier 4 moves collided , however both Rudra and Mahrez were unable to gain an upper hand from this exchange.
Looking around Rudra realised that fighting Mahrez inside the city would mean that he would need to fight extremely restricted to cause minimum damage , and that the best course of action was to lead the man out of the city.
However it was easier said than done , as pus.h.i.+ng Mahrez back and out of the city was not something that Rudra could achieve alone at his strength.
Although it appeared that he was evenly matched against Mahrez, it was only because he was going all out while the opponent was still conserving his true strength.
Rudra understood this better than anyone , however looking around seeing the winged demons fall one after another he had hope in his heart that reinforcements would arrive soon.
Mahrez was the biggest threat to the city . If the 15 demons combined could be rated as 10% threat then Mahrez was the remaining 90%.
As a tier 5 existance wiping out entire cities was not a difficult job for him if he used his big moves , and although the elites could user numbers game to suppress the winged demons , no matter how many elites banded together suppressing Mahrez was impossible.
He was a problem that could only be dealt by Rudra alone while the only people qualified enough to support him were the tier 4 elders.
As if on a queue, right as Rudra had this thought Medivh blasted a beam of light from the mage tower as he seemed to be freed from the winged demons he was fighting and was now ready to support the guildmaster.
Under Medivh"s support , Rudra decided to increase the intensity of his attacks as he coupled " cloud feet " alongside " Gravity Manipulation " to make himself weightless and super agile to land a series of high speed moves on his opponent.
Mahrez fought with a large great sword which was bulky and not very good for defending against nimble moves. Exploiting this advantage Rudra paced around the enemy like a crazed monkey at speeds that went beyond the perception of normal humans.
To a watching elite , Rudra looked like a blurry figure that their eyes could not even catch , as all they were able to observe were the occasional sparks on the demon Mahrez"s sword and the occasional cuts on his skin that spurted blood.
Feints , blocks , dual cuts , speed maneuvers, Rudra used them all to deal superficial cuts on Mahrez"s body and inflict as much damage as he could , but after 3 minutes of pus.h.i.+ng himself to his maximum speed he realised that he could only deal 5% damage to the opponents net HP.
The drain on his stamina was much larger than the damage margin he was able to achieve as he understood that this plan was not sustainable long term.
Although Medivh did occasionally try helping with one or two attacks from the mage tower , the moves were blocked by Mahrez under no real threat.
Medivh realised quickly that the bulky tower was useless in such a quick paced nimble fight, as he made the decision to abandon it and support the guildmaster on foot.
Only standing shoulder to shoulder with Rudra could he find a suitable opening to land small attacks on Mahrez, while he was busy fighting Rudra.
Hence abandoning his post in the tower he went down to support Rudra at ground zero , only to find that Sir Jhonny was already present at the location alongside Neatwit and Vice guildmaster Karna.
The four looked at each other and gave each other an acknowledgement nod as Karna said " Guildmaster we are here ....".
The four tier 4 elites had a.s.sembled to support Rudra, however none of them dared to interfere in his fight without his permission , and apparently it was a wise decision for them to not engage.
Rudra glanced at them and told signalled them to stay on hold for now , however while the other three understood the instruction , sir Jhonny felt that Rudra was being too careful where there was no need to do so.
Deciding to take matters into his own hand , Jhonny decided to sneak on the enemy and crush his b.a.l.l.s.
However never could he have expected as to what was about to happen ....
