Chapter 509 - A Second Meeting
The aftermath of Rudra's fight with the dark faction rankers was astronomical. As it quickly became a global phenomenon covered by every single news channel and independent streamers across the world.
There were various talking points about the event , and there were a lot of things shrouded in mystery for the general public like the purpose of the rankers to target Rudra and the fact that Rudra's body did not turn to dust and there was no sign of the Elites leader respawning at the Church of light .
Except for that , the MAJOR talking point of the fight was the might of a single player as he brought ten of the enemy factions rankers to their knees in a fight that seemed to have insurmountable odds.
Rudra was acclaimed as a genius and a once in a century prodigy , as his combat efficiency and skillset became a talking point for every single player out there.
Now everyone wanted to be like Rudra , as the number of players who wanted to play the knight class and choose the light faction skyrocketed . Many who had just created accounts chose to delete and redo them just for a chance to become like Rudra.
Rudra's skill moves such as overhead slash and claymore were being sold at astronomical prices on the auction houses , as even though common moves , since they were a part of Rudra's skillset , they had a increased market value as people took them as superior skills.
Naturally nobody could figure out the origins of Rudra's four ace moves , Full counter , Solar Beam , Mana legion and Holy Lance .As they were Rudra's signature moves that were unique to him at the moment.
However the secret of Golden Ratio did surface to the general public as someone who did clear the first tier promotion test with a SSS rating chose this knight class option on their path ahead.
Wild speculation theories about Rudra's unreal stats were already a common place in the forums but the golden ratio theory gained momentum following the fight as people discussed Rudra's unreal HP bar in detail.
Nonetheless , the matter was of great pride for the light faction players as it was a huge faceslap for the dark faction players to have their top rankers be beaten in such a pitiful fashion , loosing all face against a single light faction player.
Naturally they were extremely vocal about this fact , as players from the light faction took it upon the forums to celebrate Rudra's performance today as a victory of their own .

' Can anyone stop the battle machine Shakuni? '
' Oye , Oye , Oye , Ever since I first saw his demon of the death valley fight in the early days of the game , i knew this guy was special and i became his fan. But he just keeps outdoing himself with every fight , there is no doubt in my mind , Shakuni is the GOAT of Omega '.
' I CANT BELEIVE MY EYES , I NEED MORE FIGHTS LIKE THESE , MY BLOOD IS PUMPING , GO SHAKUNI OF THE ELITES GO! '
' A one man army , i am envious of the elites to have such a idol for a guild leader , unlike the trash i have as mine . #jellyoftheelites '.
Were commonplace in the forums , as the world fixated themselves on the high calliber fight they just witnessed.
The part where the holy Lance destroyed the three tier 4 moves coming at it combined , became the most watched clip in the world in a matter of 6 hours. As people watched it on loop and got goosebumps from it every single time.
Major forces and strong players got the chills in their bones when the scene of a madman pulling a sword out of his cheeks presented itself before them , as they realized that Shakuni of the elites was not an enemy they could afford to make .
There was not a single man who was confident of beating Rudra in a one v one fight after watching him dish out Holy Lance anymore , except for some extremely delusional fools who thought that world revolved around them.
Only Dronacharya took the entire fight critically as he barely calmed his heart over the display of Rudra's true strength.
His opponent continued to stun him at every single turn , as he realized that he did not know the true depth of shakuni at all , increasing his resolve to only ever mess with the elites when he was not present.
However inside the elites HQ , in Whitecloud city , the atmosphere was not at all one of joy , as Shakuni was not opening his eyes , and not respawning either.....
---------
Rudra woke up in a palace , however the moment he looked out of the small window in the palace walls and towards the sky a dreaded feeling arose in his heart.
He had nightmares about this sky , it was one of the places that he never wished to be present at. This was definitely hell!
Rudra panicked as his breathing became ragged , as he looked left and right as he assessed his situation. He was actually suspended over a cross , as all sorts of torture weapons laid around him.
Rudra' panick increased as he tried to break free from his constraints , but could not he tried to tell for help , but there was a gag placed on his mouth.
A man casually entered the room he was bound in , and Rudra instantly knew who he was ..... , Those evil eyes and that aura of supression , Rudra could never forget them even if he wanted to in this lifetime.
The fallen angel Lucifer had entered the room , as he looked at Rudra with a sinister smile plastered on his face.
Rudra knew at that very moment , that he was at the mercy of the devil himself now!
