Chapter 752 Capturing the second village
With three of the four tier 4 generals protecting the village gone , it was supposed to be an easy ordeal for the elites to take down the last one and with him the village , however the last general was also a demon beast tamer , but with Amber red eyes for some reason .When the elites reached the walls of the village , the last general summoned a lava hound to protect the village and attack the elites and a huge black flying hippopotamus like creature that spit lava flew towards the elites at high speed.
Rudra felt like cutting the chubby hippo in two halves with his sword in one deciding world slash , however Medivh tapped on his shoulders and said " I've got this one boss ".
Rudra glanced over his shoulders and loosened the grip on his sword as he let the number one mage of his guild do his magic.
Medivh raised his right arm and a spout of water emerged from the land below and shot towards the sky like a natural spring , extending for a full 50 meters in height.
The hound who seemed to abhor water decided that it wanted to target Medivh first as it adjusted its flying trajectory towards Medivh and started to accumulate a lava beam in his mouth.
A few seconds later when the lava hound came about 50 meters infront of medivh it finally unleashed the lava beam as hot an condensed magma shot out towards Medivh in a concentrated beam.
The heat from the attack was scorching and even Rudra could feel his skin temperature go up uncomfortably , as he glanced towards Medivh in a slight worry.
However Medivh was not worried at all as using his left hand he used the move " Hydro cannon " and shot a water blast towards the incoming magma blast at 3 times the speed and 15 times the volume.
Hot magma met cold water and turned into stone and while the magma was a superior element compared to the weak water , the sheer scale of Medivh's blast was able to neutralize the magma's heat while also keeping it at bay.
The hound tried it's best but could not push Medivh back and that was when Medivh used the previously created water spout with his right hand and started to weave a water-prison around the flying beast.
The hound was stuck in between a rock and a hard place as if it stopped the attacking beam it would be overwhelmed by the water blast , however if it did not then it would be trapped in between a constricting water prison.
Unfortunately the beast did not have the same human like intelligence and processing so much information at once was not possible for it , hence it became undetermined and the prison was able to form around it.
Medivh drowned the hound in a pool of water , but since magma still oozed out of its body and mouth , the water soon started to react with the magma and turn into stone as within minutes the magma hound was turned into a stone mummy hippo.
During this time, SMG had sneakily sneaked behind the demon beast tamer using his assassin skills and taken him out off-guard by his very Sharp but invisible wire thread that was capable of chopping head off.
The fight against the tier 3 weaklings after that was none of Rudra 's concerns at all as he calmly sat ontop of the stone hippo's head and sipped a mana potion alongside Medivh and Karna.
The village without its tier 4 generals was naturally defenseless against the elites and it took only 25 minutes for the others to clean up and round the innocent village survivors up for Rudra's verdict.
Naturally Rudra gave them the same deal as the last village , and this time around he added the line ' I gave the same deal to the other village , 72% left 28% stayed , the 28% are now dead '.
The emotionless way in which he said it made the oversmart demons who wanted to make a heroic stand feel a chill down their spines as this time around 98% of the population chose to run away with their lives intact.
Only a group of 35 demons chose to stand back as one of them mouthed some heroic words like " I will never bow to humans like you " .
However Rudra could not care less about what they said as one aura burst later they were all kowtowing to him on the floor dead .
In about 2 hours , Rudra had successfully taken down two villages and was now preparing his group to gear up for the town fight.
If all things were to go well he expected to round things up in the next 6 hours and rest back at the camp after a good days work. However, since the appearance of the centipedes he understood that he could never be too confident in this unknown land.
The opponents had methods he had never seen before , and ways to counter him that may blow his mind.
Keeping in mind that there was nothing such as too much caution , Rudra buckled up for a tough fight as he jogged alongside his men towards the town of gates.

( Meanwhile Max )
Max was part of the fifth legion , under general Belphegor. It was his first day in hell and he was already being treated like cannon fodder as nobody in the entire army camp seemed to respect him or his tier 1 strength at all.
While the other tier 3 humans were treated with respect and the tier 2 humans were atleast provided with instructions, the tier 1 and tier 0 humans were basically neglected as if they did not even exist.
They were ordered as a whole unit , and not as individuals as if they had no individual standing at all and while the others around him seemed to not mind this at all , Max felt like it was a huge blow to his pride.
Max felt frustrated like nobody acknowledged him here , he was used to being adored and admired wherever he went , he was the youngest passout of the elite academy and the younger brother of Rudra Rajput.
However strip all that off and max finally understood that he was actually a nobody. Without his brother's name he had no weight in this army , and him wanting respect was just the child inside him acting up.
Accepting his tough reality , Max understood that nobody expected him to perform in this war or even contribute anything at all. Which was exactly why he needed to prove all of them wrong.
