The winged demons were forced on a backfoot by the organised response of the True Elites , currently it did not seem like a defenseless city at all , as the 15 tier 4 winged demons were madly scrambling for their lives mid-air.
Nonetheless Mahrez was also present with them and he turned the tables on the situation real quick.
Mahrez was a wind elemental specialist mage. He was a unique type of mage warrior who had only focused on perfecting spells of one single element , and as a result his proficiency in wind magic was second to none.
Using the wind magic he could easily deflect the incoming pulse cannon shots to weave around him without having to lift a finger, and after noticing his army facing trouble he only extended that safety area by a few killometers to cover the entire region of his troops.
A pocket of air was created in which the pulse cannon attacks could just not enter as while they looked like they were on a straight path, upon touching the air pocket , they would all be sucked into a jet stream and deflected from their initial path.
Initially the intensity of the move was only enough to deflect the pulse cannon attacks, however after a while Mahrez intensified it to nullify the attacks from the mage tower as well as he created an invincible shield for his army.
Medivh could no longer pierce the air pocket and that annoyed him greatly. The shield that the enemy had made out of wind magic was at minimum top tier 4 or early tier 5 level, and was proving to be invincible against attacks of the same level!
However what Medivh did not know was that mentaining such a shield came at a cost for Mahrez as well as he had to use a lot of his concentration and mana to mentain such a pocket of air.
While the other 15 demons were free to attack the city from under the pocket , Mahrez himself could no longer launch new attacks , being occupied completely in defense.
Slowly , Mahrez kept descending with his gang as the other 15 tier 4 demons kept preparing their best spells to wreak havoc on the city.
When they were at a significant height the attacks were spread throughout the city , however as they descended their attacks were more focused on the area in the inner city only.
Parts of Rudra’s palace was destroyed , parts of the elites’s guild headquarters was destroyed and a lot of elites died under the attacks of the demons as well.
When they were only 50 meters from the ground , Mahrez noticed the church of death , and the church of light standing side by side and was instantly repulsed by those two structures.
Mahrez said ” Men , destroy those two ugly buildings , i can’t stand mortals worshipping anyone but our lord.
WIPE IT FROM THE FACE OF THE MIDDLE EARTH”.
The church’s carried a great amount of sentimental value for the players , and it was not something that the players were ready to be seen destroyed , as upon hearing Mahrez ‘s order the elites prepared their best spells all together to neutralize all incoming attacks the best they could , but not let any harm befall on the two church’s.
A total of 15 peak tier 4 spells were unleashed on the vicinity of the two buildings , and most players were unable to even register the speed of the attack , much less launch their prepared counters.
Only peak tier 3 players could send a weak defense but their attacks did nothing much infront of peak tier 4 moves.
All hope seemed lost , however just before the moves reached the buildings , they seemed to have collided with an invisible barrier and detonated.
A loud explosion that rattled the inner city could he heard as the shockwave knocked many players off their feet. However even under such extreme circumstances the shocking part was that the two churches were completely unharmed as some sort of invisibile barrier protected it perfectly.
Everyone had the same question in their minds right now , which was ‘ who? ‘ .
The demons and the elites wondered the who could stop such a move alike , as while some elites suspected it might have been Medivh, the older ones already knew that there was only one man who had the strength to stand upto 15 demons at once!
” GUILDMASTER! ” a elite shouted at the top of his lungs and as if on a cue , Rudra walked out of the church of death like a true overlord with black fumes rising against his body like a raging tornado.
Instantly cheers went out from the elite camp , as if they had already won the fight , as that was the psychological impact Rudra’s presence had on everyone which signalled that once he was here , there was no way that the elites were going to lose !
Mahrez opened his eyes in shock to see a puny mortal casually walk out after creating a barrier that could stop the peak attacks of 15 of his best warriors , as while others were oblivious as to the nature of the barrier he could clearly see the disruptions in gravity!
‘ Gravity manipulation… ‘ , Mahrez sucked a breath of cold air as he chuckled . It was a supreme technique that not even gods could perform casually and now he saw a measely tier 4 human perform it , and it gave him goosebumps.
Rudra levitated in the air , slowly rising upto the height of 50 meters as he looked at the demons one by one in the eye , leaving Mahrez for the last as he said ” I was wondering what do I offer my lord Hades as a sacrificial blood today?
I did not want my lord to feel bored of the same old , human , goat , sheep , pig blood all the time .
However I must thank you all to put me out of my dilemma, I think winged demon blood would be a great addition to the menu! “.
The winged demons bared their fangs at Rudra as some of them rushed to take them on. But Medivh extended his hand and prevented his troops from rushing out of the air pocket.
While his stupid men failed to pick up on the two tier 4 warriors that Rudra was hiding in the two churches , he had already picked up on them.
The moment his men took the bait and stepped out of the pocket, not only would they be pummeled by the weird energy blast from the guns , but also fall prey to hidden attacks.
The enemy had mounted a clever ambush, but till he was there , such Petty tricks were not going to work.
Smiling , Mahrez said ” Too bad , my lord Lucifer has other plans for the churches today , I’m afraid sacrifical services won’t be available.
But don’t worry , i will personally offer your head to my lord for sure “.
Looking at the sadistic smile on Mahrez ‘s face as well as his restraint to not fall for Rudra’s taunt , Rudra understood that this demon was not going to be easy to trick.
His opponent was cunning , smart and most of all extremely powerful and dangerous. This was going to be a fight of a lifetime for Rudra , there was no question about it , and he needed to be at his sharpest!
While the world looked at the casually flying Rudra with their mouths agape , trying to figure out how the hell did a player Learn a flight skill?
The elites looked at the back of their leader with extreme respect and hope as they beleived that with him up there the sky would not fall.
********
( Meanwhile Jhonny )
Jhonny had accidentally followed Rudra’s advice and chosen the lightning tribulation as his chosen means to ascend to tier 4.
While at first it seemed like a bad idea , later on he passed the test with a breeze after becoming formless against the lightning.
He passed the exam with a SSS rating and laughed at what was Rudra rambling about with the test being difficult.
He thought that the boy was just a big wimp who was making a mountain out of a mole hill, not understanding that he was the only man in the world who could pass the ascension test like this.
Just as he was about to celebrate the ascension however, he saw in the guild messages that some sort of trouble was there and that Rudra had asked for all elders to assemble as soon as possible.
Jhonny sighed , thinking that the elites worked his old bones wayy too much as he hopped on his dinosaur and zoomed away to the nearest teleportation centre.
He casually typed the message ” Coming kids , don’t die “. And pressed sent on the group chat .
When the other guildmembers read it , they felt a bit awkward upon seeing it , as sir Jhonny was the only one who could reply to Rudra as a ‘ Kid’.
