Chapter 624 Backfoot
( Scar-Face 's POV)
When Shakuni no longer paid him any attention , Scar-Face felt the veins of his forehead popping.
If he were to be completely honest with himself , Shakuni had completely surprised him.
He could not probe Shakuni's true strength as no matter how many times he inspected him , there would be no reading for Shakuni's power.
The last confirmed report estimated Shakuni's power at level 200 just 4 months ago after which there was speculation that he miraculously ascended to tier 4 in that short time frame.
Scar-Face did not think it was possible to gain 40 levels and also attempt the tier promotion quest in just 4 short months , as levelling did not work that way , but even if it did , there should still be a 240 level difference between him and Shakuni.
He was practically double Shakuni's level and yet fighting at 70% of his peak strength he was still blown away by Shakuni!
This was something he was unable to accept as it put a taint to his undefeatable and unrivalled warrior image.
Although he was not going all out , fighting at 70% of his peak strength he was not taking the fight lightly either , but incredibly Shakuni could still match him step for step despite the incredible level difference.
' How is this possible? ' , Scar-Face thought to himself as he felt fear while looking inside the cold eyes of his enemy who dared to fight him with a smile on his face.
He should be twice as fast as shakuni , twice as strong and have twice as much stamina . It took him decades of relentless struggles to polish his skills and reach the pinnacle of tier 4 and it was not something that could be replicated in a matter of days.
He should be able to defeat shakuni like a bug , but he could not ! And now his enemy even dared to walk away from him in contempt.
Enraged , Scar-Face roared in Fury " SHAKUNIII , LET OUR MEN BE WITNESSES , IF YOU HAVE THE BALLS TO FIGHT ME
ONE ON ONE ,
MAN TO MAN ,
LEADER TO LEADER
THEN TELL YOUR PESKY UNDEAD MINIONS TO STAND DOWN AND LET US FIGHT AS THE WORLD WATCHES ! ".
His shouting gained the attention of a lot of elite and blood merchant soldiers alike , who started to murmur in hushed voices.
" WILL YOU COWER BEHIND YOUR WEAPONS AND TRICKS AND YOUR MINIONS , OR DO YOU DARE TO ACCEPT THE DUEL?
A DANCE OF DEATH...
A BATTLE OF SUPREMACY.
MAY THE STRONGEST ONE WIN! ".
Scar-Face tried hard to bait shakuni into accepting his challenge , as although it was a bit reckless , killing shakuni was a matter of top priority for the blood merchant army.
" YOU CALL ME A B**** , BUT IM NOT THE B**** YOU ARE .... YOU COWAR.... ".
Shakuni walked out of the hole in the wall at this moment , as he cleaned his ear with one finger .
Looking at Scar-Face he said " Why are you barking?
Ofcourse I'll fulfill your death wish to the best of my abilities.
Now shut up b**** ".
The surrounding Elite soldiers bursted laughing at the antics and the cool attitude of their leader , as scar-face felt his blood reach a boiling point.
For Scar-Face the timing of the war contract cooldown ending could not have been any better as the second the countdown hit 0 , he brought out one of his mega moves!
Clutching his great sword he point it outwards , holding it with both hands and started to spin on his heels as he slowly gained pace as he spun faster and faster.
Cutting the air around him as he spun , he soon turned into a vortex as the surrounding air spun around him like a tornado.
Within 10 breaths time , the tornado reached a whopping 200 feet in height , as a booming voice came from within it.
" GRAND MOVE : GREATSWORD TORNADO! ".
A massive tornado that was made of wind currents as sharp as the blade of a sword moved towards Rudra at breakneck speed.
It was a peak tier 4 move that even outpowered the solar beam that Rudra used and its rotational speed caused many soldiers to lose their footing , elite and merchant alike as they were sucked into the vortex and killed like an ant in a mixer.
Rudra squinted his eyes and instantly activated the [ Knight Of The Empire ] skill as he activated the move [ Twin Blade Hurricane ] spinning in the opposite direction than the incoming tornado.
When Rudra's spinning avatar collided with the sword tornado , it was like seeing a clash of two gigantic spinning tops as the impact sent both tops flying in opposite directions.
The entire nothern wall was destroyed by the impact as Rudra lost a whopping 6% of his HP from the impact !
Although the tornado lost a lot of its momentum after the first clash , it still went onto destroy atleast three streets of Purplehaze city before dissipating , as it killed thousands of Elite and Merchant troops alike.
And while Rudra's body remained scratch free from under his armour , his arms and other exposed regions had thousands of minute cuts on his skin as he suffered from bleeding damage.
Disintegrating the Avatar , Rudra used [ Stormbringer] to attack scar-face but he simply tossed the bolt of incoming lighting attack aside using his sword as he charged towards a wounded Rudra.
Going all out , scar-face attacked Rudra at his peak speed as he used all his movement skills to get an upper hand on Rudra's defenses.
An endless barrage of powerful attacks had Rudra on the defensive as he was mauled by an enraged Scar-Face who had the upper hand in his fight.
Although Rudra could see the incoming attacks , he was to slow to react in time to dodge all of them properly or put up a counter as one of every four moved landed a scratch on him as he started to steadily lose HP in his fight against Scar-Face.
The surrounding Elite and blood merchant soldiers who stopped fighting to see the two Titans collide were now openly rooting for their camp leaders as the blood merchants enjoyed the performance their leader was putting up , having the upper hand in the fight.
The elites were a bit silent as they could see Rudra being punished under scar-face's endless barrage of attacks , as they pitied Rudra for facing such a giant.
While Scar-Face held the upper hand at this moment , firing at all cylinders. Everything was about to change with the entry of one man ....
