Chapter 273 - First Gold!
Rudra looked at the two remaining beasts coldly , he was not short on time , hence he was not going to show any more of his trump cards in the fight. He was more than confident of dealing with these beasts as a tier 2 player.
Rudra charged in , he became the hunter from the hunted. The two beasts growled in anger at the puny human charging at them. However remained vigilant. Rudra took it to the air , and landed Excalibur in the ground with a long BANG!
He used Earthquake!
The ground started to tremble , and one of the beasts lost its footing under the trembling ground. It would proove to be fatal , as Rudra closed in on it quickly and made short work of the beast!
Rudra impaled it's neck with Excalibur and then enlarged the sword a little to cause more internal damage , while using the Elven sword to stab at its heart.
Before its friend could come to its rescue recovering from the trembling ground and regaining footing , the beast had already died under Rudra's sword.
Only one beast was left now!
---------------
Lee Dixon : Boom! The earth is shaking Derek , the beasts can't stand ! What a move by Shakuni, unbelievable Derek , the guy was hiding strength untill now , two new moves only seen in the last floor , what more does he have in his arsenal.
Derek Ray : A beast buckles , it's defenses are down! Rudra closes in for the kill!
Lee Dixon : OOH , he impales the heart and the neck with his two swords , no chance of escaping anymore , bye bye beast!
Derek Ray : The last beast is growling in anger , fourty seconds left , Shakuni is in full health , can he claim gold?
Lee Dixon : I think it's an insult now Derek , can is not a question , this guy will probably kill the last beast with 30 seconds to spare , the real question is just how strong is he?
Derek Ray : Shakuni , charges behind the last beast , who is on full defensive mode , oh my god what terrifying speed . The beast can't create distance.
Lee Dixon : A deep cut on the abdomen , the beast suffers a sizable damage.
Derek Ray : A cut on its legs , its limping now , no longer can it run away . Is this going to be it?
Lee Dixon : A CRITICAL HIT ON THE HEAD! the HP bar turns red.
Derek Ray : A LIFE ENDING DOUBLE SWORD THRUST ! HE DOES IT , HE DOES IT ! HE CLEARS LEVEL 70 , HE IS OUR CHAMPION! JAPANS BOY , JAPANESE PRIDE , JAPANESE GOLD !
Lee Dixon : Never doubted him for a minute , I always knew it from the moment I saw him , he was my pick to win this event , while everyone was picking pace and doing flashy moves he was taking his time to advance. Now he wins it ! This is called strategy this is called experience , what a player!
Derek Ray : Slow and steady wins the race Lee , time and time again we have heard this proverb , now we see it again. The slowest climber clutches the gold.
Lee dixon : Two medals for japan , gold and bronze, what a opening night , what a display of strength , Japan celebrates tonight!

Rudra's brain stopped when he was teleported outside after clearing level 70 . His heart beating out of his chest . He clearly had over 30 seconds left , he did not fail the challenge , then why was he teleported out?
Did he not read the rules carefully enough , was there a overall time limit?
Rudra's speculation was not wrong , but where he missed the point was that , never before had the last contender ever won the gold medal. Gaia teleported him outside because him continuing had no reason. Had anyone else be still in the competition at level 30 or 40 , and there was a mathematical probability that they could overtake Rudra somehow. The competition would not have ended. However since he was the last contender and he had already clutched the gold , there was no point continuing.
Had parallax cleared level 75 , Rudra would have been teleported out after clearing 76 , but since parallax failed to clear level 70 , Rudra only had to clear till level 70.
Only when he saw his name at number one on the leaderboards , did a sense of calm spread over his body! He did it! He won gold!
-------
Undying cheers erupted all over japan , and the command centre was in tears and the high officials were all congratulating and hugging each other.
Ethan Grey had a big smile plastered on his face. He could not stop smiling , this was one of those rare occasions where his blood was pumping and he was moved! The only words that came out of his mouth were " Son of a gun , that ba*****".
Although he was a firm beleiver in Rudra's victory , experiencing it first hand was a surreal experience , a lot depended on the gold medals for Ethan , and hence this medal mattered a lot for him.
President Shinzo had his fists balled up tight , Japan on the very first event had secured two medals , it showed the world the strength of the Japanese , he was very thankful to Ethan for bringing such talents to Japan.?He said " Ethan , Rudra and Naman , they live in your upside right?".
Ethan raised an eyebrow , if the government wanted to move them out , he would absolutely never agree. Hence cautiously he asked " Yes , why? ".
President Shinzo said " they are national heroes now , I will personally visit their parents , and their houses to express my gratitude ".
Ethan immediately understood and he said " Sure , Rudra has a family , Naman only has a sister and a step aunt , you are more than welcome to visit , but I'd like to ask for their permission first ".
President replied " Ofcourse ".
-------
While japan celebrated , many were depressed at Rudra's win , but none as depressed as the silver medal winner Parallax.
Who stared blankly at the number two spot on the screen .... His mind could not process his defeat !
