Chapter 717 Mahrez’s strength
Chapter 717 Mahrez's strength
Rudra hated the intelligent type of opponents the most.
He could easily take on a dumb tier 5 existance and give the man a run for its money if he could invite him into falling for his tricks one after another. However the intelligent kind did not fall for such stuff.
Mahrez was the intelligent type of opponent that was calm and surveyed his surroundings and his enemy intentions well before making a decision.
Such an attitude made it hard for Rudra to make a battle strategy that could skew the innate disadvantage of having a lower level into an advantage.
Rudra did a bit of mental calculation and understood that in terms of stats he should be at par or only slightly inferior to Mahrez at the moment as upon reaching tier 5 from 4 one would get all stats doubled.
Unless Mahrez was a freak of nature and had naturally boosted stats , he should be about par with Rudra.
This meant that Rudra would not be outpaced or outwrestled by his opponent , but the problem lied in the execution of the inherent tier 5 moves.
Rudra only had one tier 5 move under his belt whose execution left his body strained , however Mahrez was sure to have many more. This was going to be the edge he needed to suppress Rudra as it was undoubtedly an uphill battle for the king of Elites.
Mahrez too made some mental calculations about Rudra's strength as the only thing he was wary about was his gravity manipulation skill , however after thinking about it much he realised that the best way to win this fight was to suppress Rudra in a battle of strength as he drew his sword.
Rudra responded in kind and drew out grim reaper in the right hand and siege breaker in the left as the two men stared into each other's eyes to threaten the other off.
BOOM!
Mahrez deactivated the wind barrier and zoomed in a sonic boom towards Rudra, who was ready for the attack and held his ground as the two men clashed swords .
SHIIINGGG!!
Sparks flew across the sky as Mahrez 's great sword collided against Rudra's dual wielding , the bulky demon towering over his small human counterpart.
However to Mahrez's shock even at his full strength he was unable to push Rudra back who could more than hold his ground, as he felt like something was off about the strength of his opponent.
Rudra gave Mahrez absolutely no time to figure out what was off however as a surreal aeriel battle broke off between the two as they battled at unreal speeds mid-air.
Mahrez and Rudra were both using some special techniques to fly as unlike his legion , Mahrez himself was not a winged demon but rather a pure blooded high demon who specialised in wind manipulation to fly.
Hence both him and Rudra were also subconsciously handling their flight path while facing off against each other in high speed duels.
Only someone like Rudra could pull off a battle at such a high level without his brain crashing as every single second there were a thousand tasks to perform just to stay alive and in position for the next strike, an average player would long be minced meat in such a scenario.
While the two monsters battled it out in the skies, the other 15 winged demons descended upon the city to unleash their carnage , Neatwit and Karna understood that the initial plan was a no-go now and that they needed to respond immediately.
It was basically upto him , Medivh and Neatwit now to defend the city from the winged demons as each of them were required to take on 5 winged demons.
Karna spung into action with his three sword style , after reaching tier 4 and practicing a lot in real life his battle style had matured a lot as he understood the essence of when to attack and when to retreat in a fight.
He used the move 'Sky-split' to create a sky splitting slash and hurt two winged demons at once to draw their attention.
The winged demon's who looked at their gushing wound were annoyed by Karna's antics as they instantly charged at the man.
The original Karna would have tried to attract even more demons to fight at this moment , however the more mature Karna would not.
Even if the demons wreaked havoc on the city and it pained his heart to see it , Karna understood that he could tackle two at most at the moment and if he needed to slay five of them he needed to take them on one after another to have a chance of victory.
If he was at the peak of tier 4 , maybe he could try to take all of them at once , however he was not yet strong enough to take on more.
At the tier 4 level it was very difficult to do PvE type fights . If at tier 1 Karna could easily take on 15 men of his same level it was because of his superior talent and the mistakes in his opponents fight style. However, such dominance was not possible against tier 4 opponents.
Those who could reach tier 4 were already extremely talented individuals and the cream of the crop, they could not be dominated so easily by talent alone unless one was a true freak of nature like Rudra.
Hence Karna absolutely dominated the two opponents he took on , and tried to finish them off as soon as possible without thinking about useless things like how much destruction were the other 3 causing to the city.
Medivh on the other hand could successfully engage with 5 demons at once using his mage tower and even fight them evenly , as his tier 4 strength amplified by his mage tower was enough for him to stand his ground.
His spells that were weak infront of Mahrez were more than potent enough infront of the winged demons , who had a hard time in breaching the towers defenses.
The best part for Medivh being that he was surrounded by elite warriors who were shooting the demons with pulse cannons continuously, making their life hell.
Finally , Neatwit was the one who had a really hard time fighting against 5 winged demons at once.
Just like Karna his limit was 2 , while he could barely take on 3 and hold off 4 , however fighting all 5 at once he was losing a lot of HP and fast.
Biting more than he could chew after coming into the emotion that he could not see his city being suffered , Neatwit was paying the price of playing the hero.
Inherently, Neatwit was a talent superior to Karna himself, as his fighting acumen was second to only Rudra in the guild as his thirst for levelling and constant solo fighting made him a very proficient fighter on his own.
However he lacked the maturity and stable mindset that was needed to make him the top guy in the guild , as his childishness and rash decision making was visible in his fighting style.
' Sh** , Sh** , ******* ' thought Neatwit as he saw his HP drop further and further , at this rate he was going to die pretty soon !
The elites tried to interfere in the fight , but it was too fast paced for them to intervene without impeding Neatwit, hence although they gave support wherever they could , slowing down his death , the winged demons with only some casual attacks wiped out entire divisions of elites trying to support Neatwit as soon the man found himself supportless all over again.
One of the winged demons sniggered " You shall die now weak human! None of your attacks are strong enough to take us down! ".
Death seemed like a gaurantee for Neatwit at this moment when in a desperate effort he said " Oh yeah? How about you try my strongest attack then! ".
The winged demons backed off just a little as they braced themselves for a catastrophic attack. However what attacked them instead shocked them to their core as they did not understand wether to laugh or to cry at that joke.
' Quack ! Quack! Quack ! Quack! ' eldritchducks of all shapes and sizes started to peck with their pointless beaks on the winged demons heads.
" MUAHAHAHA , BEHOLD MY MIGHTY DUCKS! " Neatwit said as he stood on the head of the tall and huge mama duck and looked down on the demons who were confused.
The confusion soon turned into rage however as they felt like the opponent was thoroughly mocking them as the winged demons grabbed the ducks by the throat and snapped their necks!
" YOU THINK THIS IS A JOKE? " one winged demon flew into a fit of rage as he attacked Neatwit with his strongest blast , however Neatwit only smugged and tried his best to defend .
He knew a calamity had been triggered.
