Chapter 425 - War(6) : The Legion Of Doom
The sudden appearance of the mana legion even surprised , Karna and SMG who were looking at Rudra as if they had no idea what was going on. But it was standard issue in the guild by this point, everyone knew that the guild leader ought to have some secrets up his sleeve.
The glowing red soldiers all neatly arranged themselves in files of 100 , with a 1 meter gap between to soldiers side by side. Exactly in the middle of the gap between two files , were the second line of troops and soo on .
It was a formation designed to hold their positions , as the scythe wielding mana legion were poised for defense. Although still at tier 2 , they had no problem in going neck to neck with the best players from Triad alliance.
Hence started a session of scuffling , as the mana legion lead by Rudra and supported by the Elites fire from the walls and Karna , Yume and SMG from the backlines started their fight with the attacking triad forces.
The next ten minutes , Rudra was made proud by the mana legion . Although casualties were suffered on both sides as expected , the mana legion was able to hold out the advance of the triad members very efficiently.
It took about 2 minute for the two front files of 100 soldiers to die under relentless assault . Meaning even after 10 full minutes , there were still half the numbers of the mana legion left.
Their Scythe gave them a range of attack , and although at 45,000 their HP was very low when compared to an average player , their damage was very high.
The best part of the mana legion was that they were like a well oiled machine , completely in sync , as the movements were basically mirrored across the entire ranks. Foot to foot , line to line , it was a perfectly co-ordinated defence.
With Rudra still serving at the front as the one doing most of the a** whooping , the triad forces did suffer heavily under his sword. His attacks were at a blistering pace. The opponents could barely react to see them coming , much less move to dodge.
Rudra's stamina , damage output and fighting style were out of this world , his personal deathcount soon touched over 100,000 enemy soldiers . He was literally a one man army.
Rhino recording this performance by the Elites from the backlines was just gawking with his jaws open , at the way things were progressing. He could see that the gate behind him was progressively being sealed , and all they needed was 5-7 more minutes for the lifestyle guild to be done .
The way Rudra was holding out uptill now , it was clear that he was very serious in not letting a single enemy from the triad alliance step foot inside Purplehaze city.
However , the smooth going was about to change ... As with more and more triad members dying , it was finally the Raging Thunder guild who were only supposed to get involved in the fight , inside Purplehaze city . That had to forcibly come to the front and get involved in the fighting.
The superguild from Mithun Ambani had a player centric approach as professional gamers ran the show there instead of trained gangsters , and the difference in approach was clearly visible as they joined the fight.
Immediately deploying spell tailsmen and AOE attacks on Rudra and the mana legions location , they took a RPG gaming approach on the situation instead of a head-on fight.
Rudra was bombarded with spells and arrows , as international level players who took part in the VR Olympics ganged up on him , forcing out a unfair fight .
These were world-class players who had ganged up on Rudra here , 10 of whom won medals for their respective countries in VR Olympics and 5 others who did participate in the event. 15 such players had now taken the job on facing Rudra head on .
Rudra was pressed hard , as he was relentlessly attacked from all sides , being a dual sword wielder , Rudra was a very offense oriented player , and his defensive capabilities greatly depended on him being able to avoid attacks . However in a situation where he was pincered from all sides , was bad for him , putting him in a tactical disadvantage.
One of the opponents tried to trash talk Rudra " Huh , not soo tough now are you champ , we are not some street gangsters but world class players , you can beat all those loosers from The Triads all you want , but can you take on the 15 of us? ".
This was completely deplorable , they were 15 worldclass players who were ganging up on one , yet they still put it out as a flex of their greatness. Rudra laughed at these empty words , he was fighting with a handicap uptill now . He had not even started using over 60% of his true capabilities yet ...
Activating the eyes of truth Rudra could see everything now ... Every attack path , every weakness of his opponents. Everything in a bit slow motion.
Rudra started to weave through and show the 15 kids who the real boss was. In a unbelievable display of pure skills and raw power , Rudra showed them all how outclassed they were fighting with a True Elite . As the moment Rudra got serious , was the moment they started to fall like flies ... 15 became 10 and 10 became 5 , from then on they were screwed.
Fear was evident in the eyes of the guy who trashtalked as he could not believe that even the best assaulters in his team , that could win medals on the world stage , could not stand a full minute against one player.
" M...mmm....monster " it was the last word he could utter before he was killed by a thrust from the elven sword. His blood recovering some lost HP for Rudra , who coldly gazed at the other opponents who tried to attack him.
Noone wanted to confront the madman , fear was evident within the eyes of the triad and raging thunder members alike , it's when Rudra heard a voice from karna ... The final death sentence for his enemies . Karna said " Boss , the walls back solid ! "
This information was music to Rudra's ears , as a big grin appeared on his face .....
The mana legion reformed themselves from defensive formation to a very agressive attacking formation. Rudra was about to go out on a tear!
