Chapter 308 - David Vs Goliath
Nightmare " Let me give you credit , Shakuni of True Elites , noone has ever forced me to bring out the Overlord spear in a fight. You are a first ".
Rudra " Well , I hope your fighting skills don't disappoint the fancy weapon you have there ".
Nightmare" Ohhh , you speak as if you know of its value .... Interesting , very interesting ".
Rudra dashed in on Nightmare , who slammed the Overlord spear on the ground , a shockwave of air came rushing towards Rudra , which he had to jump to avoid.
Rudra came crashing down on nightmare from above , as both his swords clanged against Overlord spear , creating ripples and shockwaves. This time nightmare only had to move back three steps before he stabilized , however Rudra was fast , landing a kick right to his gut .
Now sent flying , nightmare crashed on the walls of the arena , taking a minor damage of -700 , Rudra understood one point , that his skills were superior to nightmare in close range fighting at this point. The opponents moves were decent , but they were a far cry from the expert level that one would expect .
Not wanting to give nightmare any breathing room , Rudra charged in again , however , the outcome this time was tragic for him.
Nightmare gritted his teeth and shouted " ENOUGH ! ".
As the Golden Dragon coiled on the Overlord spear now started to wriggle , opening it's eyes! Two blood red Ruby like gemstone eyes stared at Rudra .
Rudra was petrified on the spot , unable to move . He got the following system notification
System notification :?You have looked into the eyes of an ancestral dragon , you have been affected by dragon's fear. Unable to move for 5 seconds
' WHAT!!! ' Rudra cursed in his mind , he was immobile and a open target for his opponents attacks .
Naturally nightmare showed Rudra no mercy , stabbing him at his vitals thrice , before giving him a kick of his own to send Rudra flying.
-36000! CRITICAL HIT
Rudra lost a third of his HP in this one move , adding to the little damage he had taken earlier he had lost about 40% of his total HP . His HP bar turning yellow as a result.
Rudra cursed in his mind , as he got back up facing nightmare again , however he was not pelted with attacks when he stood up , instead what he got was a psychological attack.
Nightmare , leisurely swinging his overlord spear said " Monstrous speed , Monstrous strength , that's all I can in here expecting , however fighting with you for soo long iv understood that they are all lies. Anyone else would have taken about 80% HP bar?damage from my previous move , however you are still standing with about 60% Hp left ... Monstrous net HP bar , terrific defense. And seeing how you are not even tired after going at such high intensity for soo long , I assume a terrifyingly high stamina stat as well. And if my assumption is not wrong .... All of them are equally distributed eh? Am I right or am I right? ".
Rudra squinted his eyes , trying to mentain an aloof face , not to give anything away. He chose silence as his answer , however alarm bells were ringing in his mind , his opponent was too terrifying !
" Silence .... I see , how amusing , no wonder you chose the knight class. HAHAHAHA, i think I have you figured out , except for the part where I can't inspect you at all ... It's odd , how do you hide it? ". Nightmare said.
Rudra gulped nervously , this guy was breathing down his neck , from his nonchalant attitude to him enjoying his time in this fight , everything about his demeanor shouted , you are no threat to me and that I have this match in the bag.
Rudra increasingly felt doubt over his chances at victory , and nightmare's moves did not make it easy for him to think otherwise.
Nightmare " Alright , it's too bad if you don't wanna talk , if silence is what you choose , better teleport you out of my arena ".
Saying soo he charged at Rudra , his blood dots revitalizing as blood Lance's,?his psychological games were on point , but in reality he was stalling for time to recover enough mana to fight Rudra head on.
Now with his three blood Lance's and the Overlord spear he could finally supress Rudra in a physical fight. This was his strongest form of offense , and Rudra sure felt the heat.
Three spears of blood precisely coordinated attacked Rudra's vitals , whereas the only part where he could retreat without getting hurt , was stabbed by nightmare and the Overlord spear. With only two hands , and four weapons to defend against , Rudra was hard pressed as he was forced to go on the backfoot , taking a constant stream of damage in the process.
-1000
-1000
-1000
His HP bar slowly but surely started to turn from bright yellow to dark yellow to orange to bright red.
He was thoroughly suppressed , without a way to counter. Finally after a stab of Overlord spear on the ground , a air shockwave sent Rudra flying into the walls of the arena . -500 a damage appeared on his head.?Things seemed to be going exceedingly in nightmare's favour , as Rudra stood fifteen meters away with 13% HP.
A evil grin spread on Nightmare's face as he shouted " It's over... ".

( True Elites HQ , real world , upside )
Shock horror and disbelief spread in the guild hall where the entire guild had gathered to watch the guild leaders finals .
They went into the match having low expectations , however Rudra exceeded their expectations , matching his own against nightmare and even having the upper hand at some moments. Lifting the atmosphere in the room to an all- time high.
The match gave the guild members a rollercoaster of emotions , as they panicked , they rejoiced and they cursed , as the match progressed . It was a topsy Turvy match with many many reversals and counters.
However the last 2 minutes had been a disaster for the guild members , as for the first time ever they saw their invincible guild leader be absolutely mauled by another player.
Their hearts wrenched when they saw the continuous -1000 stream of damage. However , they hoped and hoped that the guild leader would reverse his way out of this situation. Yet it did not happen. Now against a wall , he looked like a weak prey , hence when nightmare declared its over , the guild members feared the worst..... Now they waited for the impending doom .
