Shadow realized that taking on Rudra was a greater challenge than anyone had expected . However he was not completely dejected , as even though Rudra was in control of the battle , it was not as if the dark faction rankers were completely outclassed or completely out of moves.
It was exactly the opposite as it was Rudra who had shown his hand early as the dark faction players were yet to unleash their big moves! , Choosing to prove his point by action rather than words , shadow prepared to use his best offensive move on Rudra.
As the towering golden avatar was busy taking on the assaulters , Shadow cocked in two sonic arrows on a bow and shot it towards Rudra’s avatars ears.
” SOUND ATTACK ! ” , Declared shadow , as everyone immediately covered their ears . Everyone except for the mad dog Roygar , who with his tongue out and his sword in hand charged directly to meet the 70 foot avatars sword strike head on.
” Might of one thousand! “. Shouted Roygar as he met Rudra’s sword blow for blow , with this one attack containing 1000x his strength , as it was successful in giving Rudra a knockback.
The knockback was followed by two screeching sonic arrows exploding by his avatars ears , temporarily making Rudra dizzy and loose balance and focus .
This was the opening that the Mage needed as it blasted Rudra with its ultimate tier 4 spell ” Hells acid “.
As powerfull acid bullets that burnt into hell fire upon contact with any substance shot towards Rudra’s avatar , making sizzling damage whenever it hit Rudra’s avatar.

A series of damage depleted Rudra’s HP bar as it fell down to 70% , while for his avatar to still function at full combat capacity the size had to be reduced from 70 meters down to 50 meters. Considerably reducing Rudra’s avatar power.
The crowd cheering from the outside felt gloomy again , as the momentum the guild leader had built was suddenly broken . However with Rudra quickly coming out with a flurry of his own long range moves like
‘ 10,000 sword cuts ‘
And
‘ Thunderblast ‘ to return damage to the mage. It could be said that it was a nearly equal exchange.
However the problem was that for Rudra , the damage dealt was to different people , while the damege recieved was by him alone. Hence although it was a balanced battle on the surface , in actuality Rudra would loose out this battle if things progressed this way .
” Why are you after me? ” . Rudra asked , as from the ten rankers appearing in the light faction territory without a reason , to them working together to take him out , he did not know the real purpose of their visit.
” You have something we need , as to what , you don’t need to know! ” , said Lorenzo the makeshift leader of the group , as he used blistering footwork to throw feints and weave attacks to puncture Rudra’s avatar and get to him. However Rudra was a master of his art when it came to dual wielding swordsmanship as he smiled and said ” Well , goodluck with that ! “.
Rudra used Doppleganger , as nine identical copies of Rudra just took up the entire space inside the pink barrier with every single one slashing down upon one member of the dark faction at once.
While 8 Dopplegangers were just shadows and not matter , it was impossible to figure out who was who in the short 1.5 seconds that the players had. Hence with everyone blocking the incoming sword attack and 8/9 Dopplegangers turning to dust. There was one attack that flattened a dark faction member to the ground .
It was Roygar who Rudra targetted , as he had realized with fighting for soo long , that the most talented one vs one fighter was Roygar . Hence he needed to be taken out early from the game.
Rudra followed up with a darkness bind and used three step combo to attack all the three vitals of Roygar , and finishing him off with a powerful Stormbringer lightning strike , just in time before using blink to escape a plethora of attacks coming his way.
The crowd outside came unglued as the second dark faction player had fallen to Rudra. While the top 10 rankers were stupefied from the situation. While it was hardly a 6 second move exchange , the 6 seconds changed the whole dynamic of the battle.
This was peak combat , as the remaining 8 rankers understood that Rudra was worthy of being number one and commandeering the respect he comandeered and that they had to be much more vigilant in fighting this man , or a assured victory would slip from their hands.
The first priority was definitely to destroy the avatar of Rudra , that gave him incredible defensive as well as strength abilities that completely tilted the scale of the battle .
They beleived that once they got rid of the avatar , they would make short work of Rudra , however that was not at all the case as they would soon find out. As Rudra had not even started with his real special moves yet!

( Meanwhile the real world )
Max looked on innocently at the tv with rapt attention as he watched on live news the battle his brother was raging on with his parents.
A tense atmosphere was observed in the Rajput household as father Rajput was worried about how his son was tackling things , while mother Rajput being combat illiterate just kept commenting on how handsome her son looked on Tv.
However for young Max , it was peak fascination as he cheered on his brother to take down the bad guys. Getting happy at every strike he made on the enemy , while getting sad at everyone that he received.
Punching the couch pillow while watching the fight , Max made power up noises as he shouted to Rudra to punch and bite the enemy hard , through the TV as if Rudra could actually listen to him .
The world of Omega seemed more and more alluring to little Max by the day.
