Chapter 292 - One V One Fight (6)

Babar used recover a holy skill , as a means to recover some of his lost HP . After which he raised his guard against Rudra again. Now that he had experienced firsthand how strong Rudra was , all the distractions left his mind , as he became fully focused on the battle , as for him nothing else mattered.

He did not close in the distance , nor did he retreat , he calmly observed every move Rudra made.

Rudra was starting to get serious , up untill this fight no fight had actually needed him to show even 50% of his ability. However this fight had finally proven worthy of him warming up.

Rudra dashed towards Babar , who took a defensive stance. After their swords clashed for a couple exchanges , Babar unleashed his skill Shield sword press. Where Rudra was rammed with the shield and stabbed with the point of the sword at the same time.

It was a move that did not cause much damage , but was sure to hit at close range , as it was hard to avoid the central shield ramming into the body , unless you have a shield of your own.

Rudra crossed his swords trying to block the shields press , however the tip of the Paladins sword still grazed him causing a -100 damage!

Rudra squinted his eyes , and used twin blade hurricane .

A series of cuts landed on Babar , a few on his shield , and a few on his armour. Unlucky for him , his sword got disarmed by the rapid barrage of twin blade hurricane , as he recieved a series of -300 damage notifications. In total the damage totalling 12,000 points of health.

Now without his sword , his battle plan changed as he tried his best to regroup and create distance , however Rudra kept pressing hard , Babar was being forced to retreat.

Rudra completely believed he had complete control of this exchange , untill suddenly , a sword penetrated his stomach .

-10,000 damage notification appeared on Rudra , who stared dumbly at the sword and then to the grinning face of Babar , who knew he played Rudra well.

Apparently Babar had intentionally dropped the sword , for Rudra to come at him like this , only to shock him with summoning another sword from his inventory at the right time and stunning Rudra.

Rudra cursed as he created some seperation . This was the first time in a match that he had taken damage. Albeit it did not even make a dent in his massive health pool , much of which can be given credit to the Armour that Ethan procured him , which mitigated the damage by 60% .

Rudra decided at that very point , that he was more than willing to play ball , and put the boy in his place , now that he had schemed against him.

Placing Excalibur on the ground , Rudra pointed elven sword at Babar , while coolly pretending to drink a health recovery potion. Babar could naturally not let this happen as he charged into Rudra , not willing to give him time to drink the potion.

But he did not know that this was exactly Rudra 's plan , when he was close Rudra , instantly used darkness bind , he paralyzed Babar , and instantly used three point stab.

-7000

-9000

-17000 CRITICAL HIT!

A devastating damage appeared on Babar , who retreated horrified. His hp had became bright red in an instant. He was now on the run. However compared to Rudra he was much slower and could never create tangible seperation.

Rudra never let the pressure go from then on , he slammed Excalibur into the ground , using the skill Earthquake.

The entire arena rumbled from the move , as Babar lost his footing because of the shaky ground. Using this opportunity Rudra used a powerful overhead slash , that Babar barely blocked with his shield.

BAM!

A solid impact was created when metal clashed against metal. Rudra proceeded to kick the shield right off of Babars hand.

Babar now , on the floor , desperately tried to fight back with one sword , but things looked dire for him , as soon enough even his sword went flying out of his hand. Without his sword and his shield , he was a helpless player for slaughter under Rudra , as being on the floor he could not even run away.

As such , the moment he turned his back , trying to get on his feet , a sword impaled his heart , and another one his chest.

The last seen he saw before his death was Rudra pointing at him with his thumbs down .

Loud cheers erupted from the crowd.

Rudra had won the semi finals of group A in 6 minutes and 23 seconds!

Ethan Grey was sitting in the generals room , sipping on fine wine , he was absolutely exhilarated by the defeat of Babar , for him he had already won the event , by causing great ire to Mithun Ambani.

Just thinking about how mad Mithun must be at the defeat of his best player , Ethan giggled. He lived for the simple things like these , making his enemies suffer brought him great joy .

Especially the last moment , when Rudra had Babar disarmed and helpless at his feet , ending his life with a thumbs down... Was truly satisfying.

And just as he predicted , Mithun was indeed livid , he had smashed the TV into bits and pieces , and was still hammering at it in anger. It was a bit of a tradition in country X , they would vent their anger on the TV they were watching the event on if they lose .

Rudra was incredibly focused in his private room , he was looking at the other contenders matches , paying close attention .

Especially the ongoing match , whose winner would face him in the finals of group A.
