Chapter 808 Rock Bottom
Darius looked at Rudra and had to admit that he was the most fundamentally stable and unpredictable opponent he had faced in his entire life.
Rudra was able to go toe to toe with two stronger tier 5 warriors with one of them being the strongest demon general in the entire kingdom of hell and he was not going easy on him at all.
If it were a fair one vs one fight , he was not sure if he had the confidence of killing the enemy which was saying a lot as in the past 200 years the only opponent to have given him any real pressure was the devil Lucifer himself.
He himself was at the peak of tier 5 and on the cusp of breaking through too but the tier 6 promotion test was not something that he could handle which was why he was stuck at the tier 5 realm since such a long time.
To be called the strongest mortal was not an overstatement when describing Darius, yet he still feared facing Rudra alone!
He praised the foresight of Lucifer to corner this enemy alone with the two of them instead of him going at it alone , as if in his arrogance he had faced Shakuni alone then the other party would not currently be panting and bleeding , and it might be him who would be panting and bleeding instead .
Rudra was at 40% HP , his stamina reserves were at 10% and he was at the cusp of loosing this fight and his life.
He was forced to use the future sight so early into the battle as he gambled with his strongest moves to grasp a chance at survival.
Rudra had hit the rock bottom in this fight , no matter how he tried to outmaneuver the enemies the both of them were opponents of high calliber and could counter any move that he produced perfectly to turn the tides of the battle back at him.
Rudra had 21 normal sword moves in his arsenal , such as windslash , overhead slash , twin blade cross slash , twin blade hurricane , death slash , etc , etc .
He had expended all 21 of them and yet SMG was only at 55% HP while Darius was at a solid 75%.
He had been thoroughly overhwhelmed in today's battle and it was now upto the big tier 5 moves to be able to decide the outcome of this battle.
******* Continuation point 1.
Rudra activated future sight and started to compute the best path of attack.
Currently SMG was charging at him with both his daggers exposed as he tried to jab him , while Darius was sidestepping to create an flank at the perfect angle that Rudra was supposed to dodge towards to stab him if he did.
It was a pincer attack and one that Rudra needed to deal with first before mounting any counter of his own
Rudra let SMG get in pointblank range to his chest before he used the last charge of his solar beam and blasted SMG away with the force of the sun!
BOOM!
SMG lost a hefty 17% chunk of his remaining HP pool as he was sent flying back for 200 meters as Darius looked dazed as to where that attack came from.
Rudra instantly started preparing the Nirvana flame , igniting the aura of fire in one hand and the aura of death in another as he raised their power to desired levels while dodging the attacks of a charging Darius.
Rudra used time dilation , to grant him the edge he needed to dodge Darius 's attacks , however something unexpected happened at this moment as his time dilation was instantly neutralized by an unknown attack and he was stabbed into the heart by Darius 's sword.
" Altering the flow of time ..... , I can do it too ". Darius said as he looked into the shocked eyes of Rudra and in that way Rudra died.
In his second attempt
Rudra used the same blast once more to send away SMG, and started gathering Nirvana flame essence however this time around he tried to dodge Darius without the use of the time dilation as although he was stabbed multiple times and he still died , his muscle memory remembered the direction and sequence of the attacks used as the 3 minutes of his future sight ended and he came back to reality.
********* Back to reality.
SMG charged at Rudra just as the future vision had shown him and Rudra unleashed a terrific solar beam from point blank range to blast SMG away .
This time however it was a critical hit somehow and triggered 25% damage instead of the 17 , blasting SMG away by an extra 50 meters.
Darius looked shocked and charged at Rudra instantly as Rudra dropped his swords and started to manifest the Nirvana flame.
It was a gamble that he had no idea would pay off or not , as if the attack pattern of his enemy changed after he dodged the first move it would mean the end of his gaming career , however it was a gamble that Rudra was ready to make to win.
Rudra dodged the first sword thrust to the left by spinning to the right and then instantly laid down flat on his back to dodge the follow up horizontal slash by the narrowest of margins as he kicked Darius 's sword from his flat position tossing it up into the air.
This was as far as the future sight took him and from here on out everything depended on him , and although Darius looked irritated he sat down on Rudra's chest and started to pummel Rudra's face with his bare fists.
The first punch rattled Rudra's skull as his nose broke and blood streamed all over it , Rudra's mind blanked out and his control over his fire almost broke down , but he managed to hang on by the smallest of margins.
The second punch broke two of his teeth as he spat a mouthful of blood and wondered if this was how his gaming career was going to end?
While the third punch blackened one of his eyes out as he started to fade in and out of consciousness.
