Chapter 507 - The Conclusion
Chapter 507 - The Conclusion
Naturally , Rudra did the logical thing by sending Furball to deal with the ranker on his last wings , as the world witnessed the true efficiency of a combat pet in a battle.
Most people uptill this point , treated pets basically as emotional support animals rather than combat animals . This was because the experience needed to level up a pet was an enormous drain on one\'s own experience bar . Whereas the overall combat efficiency was questionable at best , with there always being a risk of a permanent death , as pets did die when they hit 0 HP .
This made the whole endeavour of raising pets to satisfactory levels useless. Or even the ones that were indeed raised , were usually for auxiliary non combat purposes such as sniffing rare metals or safe delivery of items.
Hence when Furball exploded on the scene with her ferocious fire spells , everyone watching was shocked as Furball blasted her target with one spell after another putting him on the backfoot.
The initially small Furball soon grew in size to its actual appearance of a human sized beast with 7 tails hanging from her rear.
She was not yet completely mature , however could be said to have entered adolescence as she entered the 7 tails phase of her growth cycle.
Tier 3 level 160 . Furball was definitely a ranker for beasts just like Rudra was one for humans , as she had unnatural combat abilities.
Furball was absolutely obedient and loyal to Rudra which was a hard thing to find in a superior species like a divine ninetails , as their inner pride made it difficult to be subservient to anyone.
However she did love and cherish Rudra as her master , which was the reason why she faught tooth and nail against the ranker ,who could not beleive that he was being pushed back by a damned pet.
" Damn you FOX , let me go , i have no time to play with you creatures ! ". The ranker shouted as he tried his best to shake off Furball.
However it was his destiny to fall to Furball here today , as no matter how hard he tried he was not afforded the room to wriggle at all.
With the other 4 rankers fixated on Rudra for their fights , the last one was left on his own to fight the pet.
This was a major drawback of the made-do alliance of the rankers , as even though they were working together on the surface . Nobody put the extra mile effort to help each other on the mission during their times of need.
Hence when Furball used her best move , the Supreme Flaming Vortex. The other rankers simply watched as they let their fellow teammate be hit by a move he was powerless against and die!
Shadow momentarily looked as if he did want to save the ranker from his death , however a dangerous sword slash by Rudra stopped that train of thought from his mind , as he paid no heed to the 6th ranker dying infront of his very eyes.
Rudra was at 20% HP at this point , as his HP bar had went towards a critically red position. The dark faction players pressing on him knew that the end was near , as although there were only four of them . The four of them together consistently drianed Rudra\'s HP.
The mission was already a huge failure for the dark faction as a whole , as the 6 of their best had died trying to take down one Rudra Rajput , as there was no face left for them to return home.
However despite that , they realized that the completion of the mission took utmost priority as if they could not even the complete the mission after suffering such humiliation then it wouldn\'t it be a complete waste of time energy and pride?
Realizing the very real danger that Furball posessed , shadow gave the call " Two of you break , i will use my big moves to pin Shakuni , you guys take out the rutt ".
As two dark faction players disengaged from the melee and focused on killing Furball.
Rudra naturally got agitated by this as he did not wish to let the two break away from him . However with shadow releasing one grand move after another , Rudra was forced to defend seriously lest he die.
A rain of Boos echoed around the pink barrier , as the Elites could not watch their guild leader being put on the defensive while being soo close to death. However shadow remained unaffected by the environment as he tried to exploit every opening Rudra showed in his defences to chip down on his HP bar.
Furball although a great combat pet , was no match for Two high level rankers that were stronger than her. Hence she was put on the evasive as she took damage with every other hit.
Wanting to take no chances with the life of his beloved Furball , Rudra immediately called her back to his soulspace as he got the undivided attention of the four rankers left .
From then on , it was just a pitifull fight on Rudra\'s part as he was trashed left and right while being beaten for pace. His stamina was at rock bottom as even the most simple of movements was a strain for him now , as he was unable to weave a good enough footwork to handle four men pressing at him at once.
The result being him taking damage at every third move coming his way , as he lost 10% HP in less than 5 minutes of time.
The dark faction players knew at this moment that the end was near , soo did the half of the world. As although Rudra could be have to said to have fought a brilliant fight. This was definitely as far as he could go.
With Rudra barely being able to muster any resistance at all , shadow realized that there was no longer a need to supress him using four men.
Shadow gave the call " Alright , i will pin him down , the three of you prepare your ultimate spells and let\'s blow this guy to pieces at once ! ".
Following which three rankers broke away from Rudra and stood side by side at a 20 meters distance as they started preparing their own versions of the ultimate spells they had in their arsenal.
[ Tier 4 spell , Dark energy beam ] : A strong beam supercharged with particles of darkness to destroy any opponent that comes infront of it.
Caution : takes 11 seconds to activate .
[ Tier 4 spell , hydro vortex ] : Shoot a devastating water tornado towards your opponent at blinding speeds , it will render anyone hit with the move stunned for three seconds while causing terrifying damage.
[ Tier 4 spell ] ( Death poison ivy ) : Create a jungle of dense poison ivy heavily poisoning anyone who pricks a single thorn .
Note : Also deadly to the spell caster if pricked
Three ultimate spells were being prepared by the three rankers , as shadow punched the living hell out of a near lifeless Rudra.
Rudra was not able to dodge anymore , as every punch that hit him made him spit more and more blood , as blood dripped from his nose and his mouth . As he teethered between life and death at 8 % HP.
Shadow said " I have nothing but respect for you , i have never seen a stronger warrior than you and it was an honor to have had this fight. But it\'s over now. You have given it all you\'ve got , soo now rest in peace , as we send you off with a bang ".
The crowd outside closed their eyes , there was pindrop silence and an overall atmosphere of sadness as they understood that the fight was over.
Rudra had his head hanging down , as one could see his body rising and falling with every ragged breath he took. As everyone awaited the end , by the three tier 4 spells that would hit Rudra.
However just as the opponent was about to release the attack , shadow heard a whisper .... A faint voice that said " Not yet ... Shakuni can\'t fall yet ..... You see i have not yet given it my all! ".
It was Rudra\'s voice as he gave the death stare to shadow who was momentarily paralyzed to see the defiance in Rudra\'s glare!
This was not the state of a dejected person , it was the stare of someone who was going to go suicidal. As Rudra ever since he used the summoning for the mana legion had not used a single spell , to try recover his mana enough to use one last move.
His own ultimate move , the one acquired from archangle Micheal!
A divine column of light descended on Rudra , as he rose to the sky . Terrifying the four dark faction rankers who could feel the heaven defying mana fluctuations in the air , as the three dark faction players who had prepared their ultimate moves instantly released theirs to make a terrifying combo headed straight for Rudra.
A dark beam , a water tornado and a forest of poison ivy , went towards Rudra at blinding speed as shadow rolled out of the way to not being caught in the fire.
The onlookers would remember this moment in vivid HD slow-motion , as halfway through the attacks reaching Rudra. A move unseen before was used by him.
Rudra spoke : Divine Move , HOLY LANCE!
