Chapter 749 One Fell Swoop
Rudra was a little annoyed when although he took down the outpost guarding the village entrance cleanly , the alarms were still raised in the village and a state of panic arose amongst the masses.Demon women and children started to rush back to their homes and screaming and panic was evident.
Rudra was not aware that the tier 4 demon generals life was connected to a special stone that would shatter if he died and the shattering of the stone would trigger the alarm not only in the village of no return but also in the village after it and the town of gates later.
However having to play with the hand he was dealt with , Rudra could only put his head down and roll into battle with his squad as the brawl against the village defense started.
Karna and Rudra used their senses to scan the village for the two tier 4 generals left alive , and immediately took one each for the fight.
Rudra took the strongest one , while Karna took the other one as the duo parted ways and unsheathed their swords for the fight.
Rudra used gravity manipulation and made his body weightless as he accelerated at an unreal speed towards his opponent.
The demon general braced for impact and raised his shield to block Rudra, however at the last possible second Rudra used gravity manipulation to float into the air as he used gravity suppression to buckle the demon to his knee as he got a clean shot as his exposed back.
OVERHEAD SLASH!
Rudra's sword landed straight on the demon's temple and split his body clean into two halves from the centre as both his halves plomped lifelessly to the ground , one to the left and the other to the right.
As he wiped the blood off his sword with a simple flick of his wrist he looked the the shaking and terrified tier 3 demons around him who could not get over the shock of seeing their leader being cut into two pieces by a single strike.
Rudra stood there unmoving, yet not one demon had the courage to even attempt to make a move on him or even look him in the eyes as they violently shivered at their spots and looked towards the ground in fear.
After a few seconds , Rudra decided that this cowardly behaviour irked him as he mouthed " Trash " and used leaf blade hurricane to kill all the demons around him in one fell swoop.
After the area seemed to be more or less wiped out , Rudra glanced at Karna's side to look at the red HP bar of the demon infront of him as it seemed like he was going to die in the next 20-30 seconds.
Rudra calculated the time since the fight started and sighed in dissapointment, it was already 90 seconds since he and Karna engaged the tier 4's yet Karna was still fighting one.
Rudra used gravity suppression and jammed the demons feet to give karna a clean shot , as Karna swinged his great sword and decapitated the demon clean.
Instantly however he shot an annoyed look at Rudra for meddling in his fight , however Rudra tapped on his wrists in defiance as if trying to show Karna the time and tell him that he was being too damn slow.
Karna felt that Rudra was being impossible, not everyone could kill off a tier 4 opponent in one move , especially when the opponent was 1.5 feet taller and more bulky than oneself , however remembering how Jhonny too defeated one as fast as Rudra at the start Karna chose silence.
The problem with rolling in a monster group was that the bar for normal was raised too high , and although anyone else in the world would be impressed by dominating a tier 4 opponent in under 2 minutes , Rudra was feeling that it was too slow.
Overall it only took the 30 men 5 and a half minutes to wipe all standing forces as Rudra gave the order to round up all the village men and women who were maimed and non combatants that were not a threat to his cause.
Within the next 10 minutes everyone from every Hut of the village was rounded up as they cowered and formed tight circles infront of their enslavers.
It was the nature of sentient species in general to find comfort in numbers , and when scared even demons tended to form tight compact circles trying to comfort their hearts in knowing that they were not alone in this.
Rudra said " Listen to me demons, i am not a tyrant and i am not going to kill you if you chose to leave this village in your present situation peacefully.
I need this village empty in the next 4 minutes and one way or the other i promise i will have my way.
The village after this and the town of gates , will all fall today in the next few hours. So i advice you to run even further than that.
Now chose to leave , or to die here by standing upto your conquerors, the choice is yours ".
As Rudra said this the elites moved aside opening up a path for the demons to run away if they wished to.
Some ran away without hesitation while some cowered on the spot , however even those who initially cowered gathered the courage to run after seeing that those who ran away were actually allowed to leave without anyone chasing after them.
Only a few remained as they were the oversmart and overpatriotic ones thinking that they might be able to die a hero's death and that their tales of honor and valor would be sung for generations.
One of them even started to stand up and curse at Rudra , however as the four minutes were up Rudra simply unleashed his aura and all the tier 1 and tier 0 civilians died then and there without anyone having to raise a single finger.
The first village was conquered and emptied just like that.
