ALL NOVEL Chapter 80: Seriously?
When the Driad finally started to take action , the intensity of the game increased greatly , the bullet seeds she was shooting , one had absolutely no chance to react in time to dodge normally , it was like a projectile that had to be faced head on , if you tried to avoid it , it will definitely hit you before you can even lift two feet.
Rudra regretted not having a suitable shield at this point , as a knight the pride of his battle prowess should be his shield and defense , but being the brawler he was , he preffered to use double handed sword wielding instead.
Rudra summoned his other sword Windcutter at this moment , and used windslash multiple times to stop the flurry of vines overwhelming his progress.
As Rudra glanced back , the red laser line was slowly moving forward and was about 5 meters away from Rudra , one it hit his position , the challenge would be considered a failure.
Rudra decided to use darkness bind!
He bound the dryad for 3 seconds , just as windcutter created an opening , enlarging excalibur to a one meter length , he quickly sprung forward to gain some ground
22 ! .....23 ! .....24 !.....25 ! Just as Rudra reached the 25 m mark the dryad snapped free and shot the bullets at a 5m Range , it was almost like seeing flashes of lightning , as there was barely enough time to block .
But to his joy , there were no more annoying vines. There was only the dryad and a field full of plant traps , he could not jump around anymore , as everywhere he would step. Would result in him being caught , the very natrow path leading to the bell was like facing doom , as the shots would be incoming in a straight line at incredible speeds.
The red line started to creep closer and closer with only 2m left till Rudra's position.
The audience watched with bated breaths , this challenge is really to cruel .... The one's optimistic about Rudra clearing the challenge now felt despirited , it truly looked impossible.
Rudra too felt the situation to be quite grim , he was aldready doing his absolute best to try deflect the incoming barrage of bullets , he had absolutely no room to do anything more.
Then a gap came , there was a delay of about 1.5 secs when the dryad could not keep up her attacks. Then Rudra used his newly acquired special skill Earthquake
Boom , a loud tremor was heard as the Earth below him shattered , with large chunks of earth turning upside down and the ground cracking , there was space to get his footing finally.
Rudra sprung into action , the red elimination line about 2 inches away from him .
27 !.... 28 ....
To his delight the shockwave had shook the dryad up and she needed a brief moment to readjust her aim at Rudra .
Rudra took the chance and instead of trying to stop and handle the barrage of bullets again , he put all his strength in his right leg and leapt towards the bell , hanging beside the Dryad.
Gong... The bell sound hit , but even Rudra was hit by the bullet.
The timing was soo close , noone could tell what happened clearly , was he hit first ? Or did he clear it?
Then the entire gaming arena lit up , as fireworks burst forward.
DING : BELL CHALLENGE CLEARED AT NIGHTMARE DIFFICULTY. CONGRATULATIONS !!!!
" WHOAAA , SOMEONE CLEARED THE NIGHTMARE MODE ".
Every spectating crowd noticed after the fireworks lit up.
The entire crowd went wild , those spectating the nightmare mode could not believe their eyes , as they could clearly feel the adrenaline rush.
The final sequence the thrilling ending , it was a worth memory .
But who was the guy who completed it all .
Standing there laughing silly , was Rudra Rajput , the guild leader of True Elites , who just won his guild 15 K merit points.
He truly was happy , walking off he paused for a second , before replying the rude man who asked him to make an intro
" The name's Shakuni , Guild master of True Elites ". He said as he walked off.....
Mic drop moment !
The crowd burst into cheers
How cool was that guy ?
As the discussions about him erupted , many posted his entire attempt video on the forums , and the name of the Demon Of Death Valley , became trending again , especially the last moment where he introduced himself , it was watched over 30 million times.
With only 3 hours left for the event to end , Rudra rushed back to the guild hall , and exchanged the merit points for the top 2 items.
The purple smoke entrance theme. [ 100000 merits ]
Acquired title ' Nature friendly Guild ' [ 50,000 merits]
SYSTEM NOTIFICATION : TRADING WITH THE ELVEN KINGDOMS ARE NOW POSSIBLE BECAUSE OF THE EQUIPPED TITLE.
Rudra sighed in relief upon completing his set goals , he was in a festive mood.
As he strolled through the guild he could see the members trying riding their mounts and happily chatting to each other , it was a merry Atmosphere all around. He smiled , however his mood was ruined over the letter that came next .
It was a letter sent by all the first rate guilds in the Hazelgroove kingdom , demanding True Elites to go under the alliance as a subservice guild , or face the alliance's combined retribution .
The thing that shocked him the most in the letter was not that it came , but all the signatures present , within them was the signature of one PinkLotus. Aka Yua Nakatomi his so called ' close friend '.
He did not want to jump to conclusions , but seeing that even after she signed the letter. She had not dropped a message to Rudra clarifying the situation , it seemed like a betrayal was at hand.
The detailed letter read as follows. .....
