Chapter 564 The Forgotten God
Rudra looked into the eyes of the god Hades as he could feel goosebumps rise on his skin , although he was not afraid of Hades , there was an odd sort of intimidation in looking at a god.
Hades was calm as although he looked at the mortal intently , there was no murderous aura , no sudden movements , no threatening actions , no facial emotion , only plain curiosity.
There was a minutes of silence as the two observed each other before Hades took the initiative for the first dailogue as he said " Thousands of years since i crept into my slumber , and it is you who awoke a fragment of my soul .... How odd ".
The voice was ancient and powerful and had a commanding tone to it that made one listen.
Rudra replied " I picked up a sword , it teleported me here ".
Hades chuckled with sadness at the response as he said " The grim reaper . The symbol of my Church , the weapon wielded by my pope.....
But my relegion has long been dead hasn't it? ".
There was a hint of sadness in his voice and although he laughed , Rudra could feel the pain underneath that laughter.
Being honest Rudra replied " Yes , to be frank it is only today that I realized that there is a god of death who once ruled the underworld .
Because the period i am from , it has already been milleniums since Lucifer assumed the throne ".
A pitchfork manifested itself in Hades's arms out of nothing but air , as he banged it on the ground to get up .
" Lucifer ..... The fallen angel , are you one of his men ? ". Hades asked , his tone now containing incomprehensible rage and menace.
Black mist swirved around his body as his pitchfork started to hum from the power. However Rudra was plain insulted by that question.
" One of his? , Hahaha , don't get me wrong , I'm the one who kills all those who are his. The name is Shakuni Won Knight , King Of True Elites Kingdom , Archbishop of the Church Of Light , the Legendary Demon Slayer whose goal is to return the humiliation he suffered at the hands of Lucifer a thousandfold back to him ". Rudra said with hatred , as he made his stance clear.
Not only did Lucifer put him through innumerable troubles over the past year , but his stupid organization was the one preparing to march towards his kingdom .
Lucifer was the stem of all his problems and the only enemy that Rudra venomously hated to the core.
" I see ... You are one of Beniogre's ( Goddess of Light ) , let me have a better look at you ". Hades said as he placed his hand over Rudra's head.
Suddenly Rudra felt as if his body was transparent as he felt all his secrets being pryed open by the god . His moves , his titles , his skills , his power level , everything being read like an open book . However he was powerless to resist.
" Impressive , most impressive ... Although a tier 3 weakling your foundation is unlike any other human i have ever seen in my lifetime. Accomplishments so numerable it would put even tier 5 powerhouses to shame , and a very versatile set of moves.
Say mortal , do you have time to humor a tale from this old man? ". Hades asked , his tone softening from before as he sat back down on his throne.
Rudra nodded weakly , as Hades sighed and started his tale about his fall from grace.

( Meanwhile the other elites )
" Oh comeon this is bullshit! ". Exclaimed Neatwit as he saw every single attack that he threw at the vampire being pointless , while he had to constantly go on the defensive.
The situation was bad overall as only Skyla and SMG who had silver weapons were able to deal with the vampires numbers while the rest of the group was playing pure defence.
Karna felt like he was inside the event dungeon all over again , as without Rudra he was left incharge to deal with this perilous situation. However with no mage and no silver weapons in the group he needed to think of an out of the box solution for this problem , which he did not have at the moment.
The situation was the most odd for Jhonny , as his attacks passed through the vampires and their attacks passed through him . It was like they just couldn't get at each other , however the situation frustrated the vampires much more than it frustrated English.
Naomi took the initiative to help , but she was a healer and not a paladin , hence her combat capabilities were restricted at debuffing the vampires and buffing the group , while trying her best at defence.
Feeling enough was enough , Yume decided to use his newly acquired skill from the pirate wreckage , as he summoned the evil darkness ghosts to deal with the vampires.
Immediately the attention of the fight changed for the vampires as they focused on the summoned spirits much more than they focused on the Elites , as if the both of them had long standing enmity.
The spirit ghosts and the vampires were both creatures of night who often contested for the same territories , hence there was a millennium old fewd between the two parties.
This gave rise to a situation where the Elites became spectators as they cheered on the evil spirits summoned by Yume . The same spirits that they were desperately running from a few days ago , to kill the opponents that they were fighting now.
To the Elites absolute delight , the summoned spirits had an advantage over the vampires as slowly but steadily the vampire numbers were dwindling.
" YES GIVE IT TO HIM . UGH . FIGHT. YES PASS THROUGH HIS BODY AND GIVE HIM THE SHIVERS ". Neatwit cheered the ghosts on like a little boy watching wrestling. He had been frustrated to no end inside the ancient ruins , as it had been days since he last gained a level , and the opponents here were just always resistant to physical attacks , which made his entire fighting style useless.
However his cheering was not to go on for too long , as a howl could be heard from a distance , as another race that was never seen or heard by the Elites arrived at the scene attracted by the scent of blood coming from the grim reaper.
[ Zombie wareworlf ] ( mutant level 200 ) : wareworlfs that were zombified thousands of years ago .
The OG rabid dogs that will try bite you , only choose to fight with anti rabies and anti zombie potions at hand.
Weird green slime covered warewolfs arrived at the scene , as even they started attacking the vampires alongside the summoned spirits , completely ignoring the Elites.
" I guess everyone hates the vamps ". Is what Neatwit concluded as the 9 elites saw three monster species tear each other out inside the church of a death God inside ancient ruins . Although it was not the craziest thing they had ever seen in their life , given the circumstance it did feel surreal.
