Chapter 700 A tragedy
( inside the hospital)The raiders invaded the hospital to get some much needed essential medical supplies, as the staff was instantly taken hostage.
Since Naomi and Rudra's family were high priority citizens, they were evacuated to the most secure biolab in the building , alongside the top doctors. However the building was not essentially made to prevent people from entering by force. It was mostly designed to keep unauthorised personnel outside.
Mama and Papa Rajput panicked a bit looking at the situation, as they tried to contact Rudra repeatedly.
For the first few calls , nobody picked up but then suddenly Rudra answered the phone
" Hello? , Mom , where are you? Are you guys safe? ". A panicked voice could be heard at the other end of the reciever as Rudra was rashly driving his car.
Mrs Rajput said " Rudra , we are in the hospital.... The biolab on the 32nd floor. B-but there are people everywhere, they are vandalising and looting stuff. Some who resisted were even killed ... They kil-killed a nurse ".
Mama Rajput's voice was extremely shaky when she said this , the situation had completely shook her up.
Rudra however said " don't worry ma , I'm on my way . Stay put , and i will be there... Don't disconnect the call and keep me posted ".
Mama Rajput hugged the phone to her chest , as she and Papa Rajput hid Naomi behind them. The parents were off the mindset that no matter what happened to themselves, no harm should befall the baby.
However to their horror, the biolab doors were busted open as a youth walked in with an intriguing look on his face.
" Aghhhh ... " Mama rajput shrieked as the door was busted open , as she looked at the youth and started to shiver.
" Hoho ... Look what the car dragged in ". Nero said as he looked at mama and papa Rajput alongside the head doctors.
" Mom! Mom ! What's happening? " Rudra said on top of his lungs as Nero closed the distance between himself and mama rajput.
" I know you ..... I know you from that interview you did about your lovely son , Rudra Rajput, a.k.a guildmaster Shakuni of the elites , you are his beloved mother , aren't you? ". Nero said as he ran his fingers across Mrs Rajput 's cheeks .
Mahendra Rajput was not one to take this bullshit , as he sucker punched nero right in the face and shouted " KEEP YOUR HANDS AWAY FROM MY WIFE! ".
Nero , looked at papa Rajput and smiled , as he licked the one drop of blood that the opponents punch drew with a wicked smile.
'Darkness Absorb'
Nero used darkness absorb as instantly he started to suck the vitality out of Mahendra Rajput's body , leaving him a shrivelled corpse in just 10 seconds.
" AGGHHHHHHHHHHHH ".
Everyone in the room started to scream , from the doctors to Naomi to mrs rajput who was inconsolable at the moment.
" You monster! ". Naomi commented as he looked at nero and a tear escaped her eyes.
No matter how much mama rajput bear her husband's chest or how much she wailed , there was no reaction from the corpse at all , as Nero had killed Rudra's father.
Rudra shouted over the phone " WHAT HAPPENED, WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED? , I SWEAR IF ANYONE HARMS MY FAMILY EVEN A BIT , I WILL TORTURE THEM FOR AN ETERNITY! IM SHAKUNI OF THE ELITES DAMNIT".
Nero picked up the phone from mama Rajput's chest , as he said over the speakerphone " Shakuni , shakuni , shakuni , how are you old friend? Remember me ? Nero ? The guy who helped you win your third gold medal in the VR Olympics?
The guy who repeatedly dm'ed you for help when the government abandoned him and his sister.
Remember how he requested to join the elites and you rejected?
Remember how he begged your f***** assistant for a meeting that she never granted?
Well my sister died Shakuni, and it is on you that she did .. so now i took away your father ".
Something inside Rudra snapped when he heard this , as uncontrollable grief and anger filled his body.
The car he was driving got it's engine combusted and the glass windows from all the buildings around him got destroyed at once , as he said in a menacing tone " You dare...? ".
Nero had apparently tried to contact Rudra time and time again over the last few months. He was one of Japan's best assets and had contributed so much for the country , but because he was a dark faction solo player belonging to no organization he was abandoned as an unimportant asset.
The streets became more and more violent each passing day , and his attempts to contact Rudra became more and more desperate. However he never managed to get past Amelia and schedule a meeting with Rudra.
Having barely any time to talk to his wife , Rudra was naturally not taking in any visitors at all , and his resolve to add no other members to the elites was firm and resolute.
The result was that nero , patch and Jin mori and many other top level players turned sour on him as they hated him to the core for not helping fellow players out.
It was a fucked up logic , but currently it was a fucked up world. Nero had begged the gods to save his sister , but she died anyway and since that day he had became a heartless beast and a monster.
He did not come knocking in the hospital to target the Rajput family in particular , but to punish the people who had the means to save his sister but chose to operate the hospital in a private institute like the upside , and not open it up to the general public.
His enemy were the doctors , however he ended up meeting with mrs rajput as a coincidence, and his anger on Rudra just exploded.
Nero did not care anymore , he wanted to make Rudra suffer the same pain that he did , he wanted to make him feel that in the end he was also a mortal gamer and should be down to earth as his arrogance had reached the sky.
However, Rudra was not in the wrong here. He had external dm's turned off and closing the elites was a personal choice that he could always make as it's leader.
He was not the cause behind Nero 's sister to die and seeking revenge on him was pointless. However, none of that mattered at the moment , as father rajput had been killed.
If Rudra had any reservations about killing the raiders , they were gone now . He was going to tear his way through to floor 32 and senselessly beat the shit out of Nero.
However the question was , would he get there in time to save the rest of his family? Or would he be to late?
On the call Nero said " Haha , now you feel my pain .... Now you understand my suffering , How does it feel to be vulnerable, invincible King shakuni? The undefeated... The unbowed.
All those accomplishments in the game and yet a selfish prick who won't help others.
YOU RUN A DAMN KINGDOM , IF YOU WISH FOR IT YOU COULD BUY THIS WHOLE COUNTRY FOOD FOR A YEAR.
But no , you and Ethan grey hord it inside the upside and distribute it lavishly for feasts of the rich.
Not anymore ....
Today you pay!
Today you suffer !
Since YOU KILLED MY SISTER
I KILL EVERYONE YOU LOVE.
BECAUSE... That is only fair .
Today you lose king shakuni .... Today your family dies! ".
Rudra heard this but did not say a word in reply , he stepped out of his car and looked at the sea of raiders infront of him.
Ripping off the door off his supercar , he held it from the door handle and activated the god's eyes.
Words were of no use anymore , now it was time for action .
It was a race against time now to save his family , and Rudra was going to try his best.
Wielding the door handle as a weapon , Rudra slaughtered his way through the raiders as he was an untouchable beast in battle.
He could see every single openings , every single weakness of his opponents , as just like in game he knew just where to strike to get critical damage.
Within one minute , he slaughtered over 123 men and managed to break the bones of 22 others as he opened a path for himself towards the hospital gate , and kicked three men to knock it open for him , as he immediately ran towards the emergency staircase and started to scale the building as blinding speed.
Praying in his mind , Rudra thought ' Please god , please keep my wife and mother safe .... I'm almost there '.
