Chapter 480 - Fake It Till You Make It !

( Hazelgroove kingdom , the forums)

Rudra gaining 36 levels in ONE minute simply broke the internet. The Hazelgroove national forums crashed 6 minutes after Rudra did this amazing feat and people became aware of it.

It was not only because of the people who were actively checking the rankings at the moment , however it was because of two system announcements .

( WORLDWIDE ANNOUNCEMENT ) : The player ' Shakuni' belonging to the guild ' True Elites' in the 'Hazelgroove kingdom'is the first player in the history of Omega to cross the 200 level mark!

( Hazelgroove kingdom Announcement ) : The player ' Shakuni' Of Hazelgroove kingdom surpassed the previous world number one at level 198 to reach level 206 and become the number one player in the player rankings.

Kingdom wide bonus : +2% agility for 7 days!

The two back to back announcements broke the internet , as only recently people talked about Rudra was level 170 and how unreasonably fast his levelling speed was. However now , him gaining 36 levels at once just melted the internet down.

It is to be noted that , EXP needed to level up after each level up was incrementally more . Hence while going from level 5-10 was possible in one day. Going from 145-150 needed 2 months of constant levelling to achieve. Which would take 3 months to go from 200-205.

Usually those who sat at the top of the level rankings were those who only played the game to level. They did not participate in guild activities , quests or Olympics. They only focussed on levelling , levelling and levelling.

Yet Rudra in his incredible run from level 126-206 in a span of 3 days time just voided one and a half year of these maniacs work rate , surpassing them by a fair margin.

This was the reason why the internet broke down , because no matter how one looked at the situation , it was just unbelievable to them that someone levelled up 36 times in one minute!

Naturally the internet melted at this , as mixed reactions came from everyone , some were happy that someone from Hazelgroove was the number one ranker in the world while some were just spouting conspiracy theories on how Rudra cheated his way through Omega.

However the forums literally froze after a while as the flood of messages were soo fast that reading messages was impossible to the naked eye , as the newest ones kept going out of the screen within split seconds .

Gaia had to apply slowmode on Hazlegroove kingdom forums where everyone could only send one message per 5 minutes to get the situation under control.

The Elites being the most shocked of them all , as they wondered what the hell was the boss doing ? And if it was something THIS good , why were they not invited.

Especially Neatwit who looked like a heartbroken kid , assuming that the leader went monster hunting to someplace fun without him.

If Rudra were to hear his inner monologue at this moment , he would probably laugh and cry at the same time at the misery of his own situation.

( Meanwhile in hell )

Rudra was not well informed about the circumstance that surrounded Aman's stay in hell . He had his speculations , but it all revolved around Aman being a prisoner inside hell , maybe working with Lucifer as a slave under duress , however Rudra did not think he was here of his own free will.

Rudra hence hoped that he would see reason and escape the godforsaken place with him in this instant as he said " Come I'm here to save you , let's get out of this godforsaken place ! ".

Aman looked at Rudra in disgust yet curses did not escape his mouth as he was still afraid of the feat that Rudra just pulled off , as he said " Are you out of your mind? I'm getting stronger by leaps and bounds here , the next time I leave it will be to raze Hazelgroove to the ground! ".

Rudra raised an eyebrow , as he remembered how he had been given a sedative to use on Aman should he be uncooperative and realized that it might be the only way to force him to come.

Unfortunately for Rudra , the only card he had left was one single charge of solar beam to spare. He had no other offensive moves capable of seriously threatening Aman. However riding on the psychological damage caused by the sin of pride's death , Rudra decided to continue his fake it till you make it attitude.

He said " Well , the one who hired me did not tell me if I needed to bring you dead or alive , if you won't cooperate , i will just bring your body back to the surface ".

Rudra took two steps towards Aman saying soo , peak confidence being exuded from his body , as Aman inadvertently stepped back.

Aman said " You....you.... Stay away from me".

Aman genuinely bought into Rudra's act , a half destroyed town covered in screams and a sizzling dead body of someone much more powerful than himself was enough for him to not call Rudra's bluff at the moment.

Riding on the fame he accumulated over the last 5 months as the Duke , plus the massive boost he just recieved for achieving a legendary feat. Rudra now had a much larger avatar than before.

Activating the knight of the empire skill , Rudra manifested a 60 foot tall avatar now , towering over the town as he looked down on Aman from a position of power.

Aman who had fought with this wierd form firsthand months ago , was shocked to see the 6 foot avatar growing to over 60 foot now. As shivers ran down his spine , with him instantly summoning 3 bone golems in response.

The 40 foot tall golems were still a way down from Rudra's height , as after one minute of bare hand trashing of the bone golems with no offensive skills , all that was left of the golems was a pile of bones!

As Rudra reached low to grab Aman... The sedative in his hand.

Usually Aman would have used a darkness spell or some tier 4 move to repell Rudra's advance . However momentarily he flinched in fear seeing the giant hand coming to grab him.

As Rudra held Aman though he broke out of the stupor , as he tried to conjure a darkness spell . However he had already been pricked by the sedative as midway through chanting his spell he fell asleep.

Rudra waited for ten more seconds as he looked around the burning town over which he towered in a massive avatar. Feeling like he was the protagonist of this world or something.

His name Rudra was the name that the god of destruction ' Shiva ' was called when he took a human form , and today Rudra felt like he was indeed someone worthy of that name.

Rudra Rajput ... The destroyer of evil!

Rudra cancelled his avatar , as he carried Aman over his shoulder , about to activate the key to go back .

However , just as he felt that all was okay and that he had made the impossible dream possible. A loud war drum could be heard ..... As the devil himself descended.
