Chapter ?812 Max s.h.i.+nes
( Max"s POV)
As the earth trembled and the clouds parted , Rudra"s attack was so terrifying and so magnificent that it not only killed Darius , but also left the entirety of the army of death re-energised.
The primal roar of cheer thay Max heard from his colleagues as Rudra unleashed that attack was something he would never forget in his life as it sent gooseb.u.mps down his spine.
His brother was something else , and it seemed as if he had once more made an unlikely comeback , one which no-one expected him to make.
Clutching his fists Max smiled , as taking charge he said " Mining division, it"s out turn now , CHARGE! "
" Arghghhhhhh " the warriors in the mining division shouted as they charged towards the enemy tier 3 division , engaging in a battle with their superior counterparts without fear of losing their lives.
The morale and the adrenaline rush Gave them the courage to take the risks that they usually would never take and that helped them to stand their footing against the stronger enemy , even if it was for just a few seconds.
Max clutched two daggers in both his arms as he used his agility to backstab a tier 3 soldier busy fighting another warrior from his crew.
The backstab made him wince and as he turned to face Max , he was stabbed in the gut by the swordsman , killing him effectively.
Max threw a dagger and it pierced the neck of another soldier clean and he and the swordsman quickly closed in on him to finish the job.
The EXP Max gained from just these two kills was insane , however he had no time to relish his gains as the initial adrenaline boost started to wear off and the tier 2 troops were starting to be forced back.
" RETREAT! FALL BACK! NOW! ". Max gave the order and the crew started to disengage .
Those at the backlines turned and started to run while those at the front lines took on a steady retreat.
While planting the mines , they had left out three single lines of ground patches that were safe to fall back from , however otherwise it was a h.e.l.l-hole.
Those who could retreat , finally retreated and just as the final few lines had to retreat backwards the flurry of arrows started to fall on the demon army , giving them the opportunity to break and fall back.
From the trenches the archers took aim and fired repeated flat shots towards the enemy troops , making their chase of the retreating tier 2 players very hard.
For next 4 minutes , the army of death detonated no bombs as they let more and more attacking demons cover the minefield, and only when the demons reached the full span of the minefield did Max give the order " DETONATE !"
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The earth s.h.i.+vered and mud flew everywhere, when within the trenches it was like a constant mudshower however despite the mud , the cheers only grew louder and louder as the troops were absolutely delighted at the thought of the dying demons.
Nearly 100,000 demons were killed by the minefieds explosion and about 400,000 were injured.
As the warriors attacked once more and the archers took aim , it was a completely different battle than the one before as the demons were the ones running away now and the humans were the aggressors.
One million tier 2 humans in a fight against 2 million tier 3 humans was an odds that was sure to result in an ugly route for the humans , however thanx to Max "s cunning war strategy the demons were forced on their knees as when the dust settled and the very last human died in battle they had created a terrifying loss of 650,000 tier 3 troops total for the enemy camp!
Max himself died valiantly after killing 17 tier 3 demons total , which brought him incredibly close to the peak of tier 2 in the end.
However he did die after all the fighting, which meant that his journey of adventure with his brother inside h.e.l.l ended there , but he was not regretful about it , he had went out with a BANG!
Sitting in the church of life in Purplehaze city , there was only a smile plastered on his face , as what he did not know was that someone had already posted a video of him making a plan and leading the troops on the forums.
His days of fame were only a few hours away now .

( Meanwhile Rudra)
Rudra looked charged at SMG who was now being covered by nearly 4 tier 4 generals around him , however Rudra did not give one solitairy f*** anymore as he was just in the killing zone now.
No longer needing to think what was the best course of battle he just let his instincts take over.
One of the tier 4 generals attacked him with a fireblast from the left , one closed in on him with his sword draw from the right while SMG himself melted into a pool of shadows and went underground to trouble Rudra.
Rudra blocked the fire attack with a single finger as his mastery of fire element now allowed him to take charge of such lesser fires with no issues at all , while blocking the swordsman with his siege breaker.
SMG popped up behind him and tried to stab him into the kidneys , however Rudra lifted his leg in a backward motion and nutted SMG right in the b.a.l.l.s as the pain made his upper torso buckle over.
Using raw strength to overpower the tier 4 general Rudra slashed his sword in a upward motion to knock him offbalance as he himself turned with incredible velocity and landed a roundhouse kick straight at SMG" s jaw as he sent him flying.
At this instant the other two tier 4 generals arrived and together the four of them tried to suppress Rudra , but it was to no avail.
Rudra weaved through their attacks as if dodging a child and slit the throats of two generals while stabbing the other two with his two swords.
At this moment SMG used darkness blast attack on Rudra and that attack landed straight on Rudra"s back and exploded , SMG smiled for dealing damage however when the dust settled Rudra"s HP bar had not even moved by 2%.
Shaking the basic attack off as if it was nothing , Rudra continued to kill the four generals completely as he ignored SMG.
Although Rudra"s back was exposed to SMG the man did not dare and recklessly attack Rudra as it was decades of fear and respect that prevented him from underestimating Rudra , and in reality it was a good choice !
Rudra"s vision left no gaps in his defense and although to SMG it looked like Rudra had exposed his back towards him , in reality that was not the case at all and the moment he charged at Rudra the other would spin and take his head off!
At this moment war conches were blown and horse riders came into the view as SMG finally smiled .
Nearly 5 million tier 3 soldiers , about 50 tier 4 generals had shown up as reinforcements from the fort of Mirzapur and their presence gave SMG the confidence to kill Rudra!
Rudra killed the squirming tier 4 general under his feet by simply stomping on his throat and crus.h.i.+ng his windpipe as he raised his head and looked at the approaching army head- on.
SMG said in a fiendish voice " It"s over guildmaster, you fall here ".
Rudra looked at him , his att.i.tude stone cold as if he was not at all impressed by the approaching army.
Mentaining eye contact with SMG , Rudra raised both his arms in the air and said " Rise , my legion "
Rudra used the move [ death legion ] and subsequently the earth rumbled as the green gra.s.s started to wither away as million and millions of undead broke through the ground and formed a ma.s.sive army around Rudra.
Undead mages , undead archers , undead golems , undead hors.e.m.e.n , undead durahal , all-powerful elder liches and 4 tier 4 commanders all raised themselves from the ground and while the outer undead soldiers stared at the demons , the inner most one"s created a circle around SMG and gave him an undead stare.
Rudra smiled as he said " By the time your army can reach me , you will be dead a 100 times over ".
SMG started to tremble , a trickle of p.i.s.s dropping down his thighs , even the strongest necromancer could not summon an army this large this quick , however Rudra did it as easily as breathing, he was just breaking the laws of the game as if it was nothing.
" Arghghhhhhh " SMG charged at Rudra with his top speed . However Rudra toyed with him as he attacked as not only did he dodge every single one of SMG "s attacks but deliberately landed the brunt part of his sword on SMG"s chest , neck and head as if to tell him that he could have killed him many times over by now , but was just choosing not do so .
As the demons and the Undead legion embroiled in a battle , Rudra himself started to chip down SMG "s bright orange HP down to a dirty red.
