Rudra relished the feeling of an intense battle as although Scar-Face pressed hard on him , his face had a joyous expression as he pushed himself to match scar-face attack for attack and move for move.
Although the fight was being fought at incredibly high speeds for the third person’s perspective , it was very slow in Rudra’s POV.
It was a good thing that Scar-Face was hideously ugly and the only facial features worth noticing on him were his scars , as if he was a beautiful lady Rudra might have fallen for him considering how much fun he was having in the fight.
Putting that repulsive thought out of his mind , Rudra decided to pull a fast one on scar-face as he used [ cloud feet ] to momentarily increase his speed of attacks.
Becoming Weightless , Rudra danced on the battlefield as if he was teleporting as Scar-Face was forced on the defensive from his continuous barrage of attacks.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
Sword attacks so strong that the collision could be felt from even a hundered meters away were produced in rapid succession as Rudra drilled in on Scar-face ‘s body.
Managing to land a consequetive attack combo of 16 sword cuts , Rudra took about 7 % chunk of Scar-Face’s MAX HP before the Dark Shaman interfered to make Rudra retreat.
A shocked expression could be seen on Scar-Face’s face , but it quickly turned into a wide grin.
It had been a long-time since Scar-Face had met an opponent as skilled as Rudra and the idea of a good fight pumped him as well.
Pointing his sword towards Rudra he said ” You’re not half bad ….. “.
” FOR A KID ! “.
Saying these words , scar-face retaliated with the skill [ End Of World Slash ]
A peak tier 4 skill that was the upgraded version of the world slash that Rudra used with the elven sword.
A terrifying sword slash that tore through the fabric of air and earth alike as if it was butter , the move collided with Rudra head-on as although Rudra crossed his swords to block it’s hit , he was instantly sent flying at impact as he crashed into the Purplehaze city wall behind him.
However it was not the end of the attack , as only a split second later the attack itself found its way to the Purplehaze city wall and sliced clean through from a section of it to breach the nothern wall that was still standing.
Buried under the rubble from the wall was Rudra who lost a whopping 12 % of his max HP despite wearing the doom armour and actually blocking the attack when it first came towards him.
The attack was a small taste of Scar-Face’s true power and a reminder to Rudra to not get too cocky as this opponent that he was facing was no ordinary man at all.
Digging himself out of the rubble , Rudra saw the duo of Scar-Face and the Dark Shaman walk towards him in a cool unrushed stride as the shaman produced hideous looking trolls with every snap of his finger .
On both of their faces was plastered an evil grin that said ‘ Do your best …. Weakling ! ‘. However Rudra just laughed it off as he dusted the dirt off his robes.
Nearly a hundered tier 3 mutated trolls rushed towards Rudra , but this time Rudra was not interested in playing with them at all.
Using the skill [ Death Legion ] , Rudra awakened his army of dead as thousands of undead , death knights and a few elder liches tore through the ground below to appear by his side , as with a slight nod of his head he directed them to kill the trolls charging towards him.
Changing the entire scenario in just one second , Rudra went from being outnumbered to outnumbering the two as he joined the fary to attack scar-face!

( Meanwhile in other parts of the city )
The sun had almost went down and the fight had completely spilled inside Purplehaze city .
The final elite troops that were fighting outside the walls had now retreated behind the city lines as the walls on the southern , eastern and Western fronts were completely compromised.
The fighting inside the city favoured the elites highly , as the dragonhead flamethrowers and already well mounted defenses made it extremely difficult for the enemy to advance through a single street.
Nonetheless with tier 3 troops within their ranks and tier 4 generals running amok , the Elite encampment was indeed broken and little by little the elites were forced to back off one block at a time.
Although at this point in the war , the elites still looked weaker than the merchants with the chance to respawn and the defenders advantage it could be said that the elites had evened the odds for a victory.
Even now the enemy had a superior quality of force and even after the respawn they would most likely outnumber the Elite troops , Rudra’s ingenious strategy , and the lifestyle guild pulling off a miracle had given the elites a fair chance to clench victory .

( Meanwhile Max )
Max was glued to the tv from dawn to dusk as he intently watched the developments of the war and rooted for his brother.
Being extremely interested in Omega and the fighting , it was Max’s dream to grow up and become like Rudra .
Although he was no war genius like Rudra , Max did pause the video and take screenshots of what the battlefield looked aerially and tried to understand what strategy was useful and why.
While he was scared whenever Scar-Face’s hideous appearance popped up on screen , he would still glare at him furiously albeit with tears in his eyes as he would tell him that he was a dummy as if he could actually hear him.
Cultivating an interest in becoming a commander early on , little max finally started to grow up.
