Rudra thought about what he should choose and after carefully deliberating for a few minutes , he made up his mind regarding the two skills he wanted to choose from the pool of 5.
Although all of the skills inside were extremely useful for him , he had his sights set on the skills [ Cloud Feet ] and [ Circumvent ] .
Although the skill stomp was very useful in practical combat situations , he already had the skills twin blade hurricane and Swift retreat to get away from such dire situations , hence the necessity of the skill was greatly reduced.
While lightning feet was an excellent skill to be had , Rudra felt like he could achieve more with cloud feet than lightning feet.
While cloud feet in and of itself was already a great skill which made the user as light as a cloud during the duration of the move , however it could also be coupled with other skills in his arsenal like the one legged leap to produce even more exaggerated results.
Because of the practicality of the move , Rudra decided to choose it over lightning feet.
Bare knuckle punching was also a great move to be had , however he was a dual sword wielder and even though both his swords had broken down he would rather find new swords than change his fighting style.
That left the skill Circumvent , which was an extremely practical skill to be had and was essentially an unlimited blink with the only restriction being that it could not pass through walls.
Rudra was definitely going to choose this skill , hence he finally selected these 2 from the basic rewards.
From the special reward for clearing the test with a SSS rating , Rudra knew that if he had the choice he would have rather taken all 3 of them than leave any . However since he could only choose one he had to think very carefully.
The second chance skill was an upgraded version of the last stand in essence , and it was Extremely practical to have such a skill in his arsenal which gauranteed him surviving against all kinds of surprise attacks or even tier 5 attacks that could otherwise one-shot him.
In essence it was the ULTIMATE defence skill.
While the knights suppression skill was the skill that was like the golden ratio , and had no bounds whatsoever. Should he land 50 consequetive hits on an enemy without them being able to parry or block it , or land an attack . He could essentially kill anyone with it.
Tier 5 bosses ? No problem . Tier 6 god’s ? Also no problem!
Ofcourse it was still impossible for him at his level to be able to land 50 consequetive hits however the move gave him a chance.
The knight’s Vengance was also a great skill to have which gauranteed double the damage recieved back to the enemy. It was a broken skill that was unavoidable . In a sense it was the ultimate attack skill!
However while Rudra would love to have all 3 of them , he needed to make a choice between the three and his choice was to bet on the move with the maximum potential and no promises , the knights suppression.
The move did not provide any immediate benefits to Rudra, but became his greatest Equalizer to any fights from here on out.
This concluded Rudra’s choosing of his new powers as he took a glance at his new stat pannel!

Rudra’s HP and stats bar were just ridiculously high at this point now and everyone else was a joke compared to him in this regard.
With the stats doubling after reaching tier 4 , the gap between him and the rest had widened beyond the realm of common sense now as he was basically having the same stats as three other elite elders combined.
And the gap was only going to keep widening with every level he gained every single time.
Looking at where he started and looking at his stats now , Rudra realized what a massive journey he had undertook. He had finally surpassed himself in previous life in all aspects and reached the pinnacle of what that guy wanted to reach for all those years.
The land of the true world class players …
The tier 4!
However just as he was rejoicing at his new success a system notification interrupted him .
[ System notification ] : Quest Complete!
You have successfully completed the quest given by God of death Hades under the specified time limit.
Distributing Rewards : ….
[ You have been summoned in the presence of Lord Hades , You cannot decline ] .
Rudra was transported into the system space , as when he blinked his eyes again . Hades sat on the throne of hell across him , a bone chilling smile spread on his face.
” Welcome …. Shakuni Won Knight , the leader of True Elites guild and NOW the Pope of my relegion “. Hades said his voice booming with joy .
Hades sat up from his throne as he grabbed Rudra by the shoulders and patted him , ” Well done , well done , you are indeed worthy . I knew the feeling i had when i first saw you was correct. You are indeed special .
The task i gave you was extremely difficult. But you somehow managed to complete it. I am impressed . Maybe there is still hope for me in middle earth with you being my frontman “.
Hades was displaying excitement like Rudra had never seen or heard a god displaying before , however Rudra just smiled nervously going with the flow.
” Ohhh Beniogre , i am truly sorry for borrowing this one from you. But we have made this deal , so now you must honor your word . Hahahaha.
Boy , like i promised , i have negotiated with the goddess of light and the church of light will be our ally ! However we cannot force any territory to convert to our relegion and no church of light can be broken . We can coexist and let people choose their faith “. Hades explained to Rudra with a deep tone.
Poaching beleivers was the start of all wars between gods and such matters needed to be taken extremely seriously.
” I understand “. Rudra said , as he nervously gulped some saliva .
” Good , good , good ….. Now since you are the pope of my relegion and we have to make a resurgence to modern middle earth , it is time for me to reward you appropriately.
All your achievements , everything you have built , the path you have walked so far , i acknowledge it all . However to be the pope of my relegion and the pillar that holds the faith of millions of humans , it is still not enough”.
Rudra felt his heart sink for a moment , he did not understand where Hades was going with this.
” Fret not , with me around you will never be a mere mortal . However to evolve one must first shed their old skin and grasp new opportunities.
I can reward you with the ‘ MYTHIC ‘ class Death Knight , but what good is that mythic class with only a name tag when all your built in skills upto this point are just like a normal knight.
To truly become a death knight , to truly evolve above the normalcy of this world , you have to embrace death first and caste the shell of your past and only then BE REBORN as an evolved human !
So i ask you , Shakuni Won Knight , are you willing to evolve beyond normalcy? Are you willing to stand at the pinnacle of the knight path and truly embrace the mythic class i will bestow upon you with all its glory?
Are you willing to shed all your past skills and past achievements and trade them with new ones?
Think carefully boy, as what i offer you is once in a lifetime opportunity that consumes a lot of my divine powers .
Never in the history of this world have i blessed a mortal with such powers and never will i do it again. Only YOU recieve this chance because you will carry my banner in the middle earth from now on. So choose wisely and choose fast , what will it be ? “.
Rudra could not get a hold of his emotions , what Hades was asking him was to practically give up everything he had built to this date and evolve them to new unfamiliar skills and new unfamiliar build.
The mastery he had developed with these skills , his current stats pannel his current moveset. The moves which he knew as the back of his hand would all be gone and replaced by something new …. Something superior , however it will also be something unfamiliar.
What Hades offered was the path to reaching heights that the normal path could never reach , however it was a path that was untreaded before and a path that he had no idea about.
Rudra had to make a choice fast , and that choice would prove to be the most important decision he would ever take in this lifetime .
/// Although the readers donot have control over what choice he makes , as that path is already decided . Do comment below on what you think he should do?
Also guys , Big Announcement for you all –
If we end the month within top 10 inside the GT rankings , i will do a MASSIVE price drop in privilage prices next month.
This is it guys , the race is on . Help me reach there :slightly_smiling_face: ///
