Chapter 505 - Retribution

Rudra was pressing hard on Lorenzo , he did not give him even a split second to breathe as the barrage of attacks landing on him were relentless.

For the people watching worldwide this was an incredible sight to see , as the ' Speed King ' Lorenzo was being completely outcla.s.sed by a barrage by Rudra.

Move after move his HP teethered towards 0 , as desperation could be seen on his face.

It was not like he had no secret moves left . Or big ones that could get him out of this situation. But it was more like , if he let Rudra hit him openly for even a second , when he prepared to launch his next attack . He would die!

The pressure Rudra had built up was just that high , and the room for error that Lorenzo had was just that low.

' d.a.m.n YOU ' , Shouted Lorenzo in frustration as his health bar went below 10% . He was completely out of options , as he desperately glanced at his teammates who were still caught up with the mana legion soldiers.

' USELESS ALL OF YOU ' , Lorenzo screamed in a shrill voice as he could feel his certain death approaching. Hence , having no better options left , he decided to atleast trade one last blow with Rudra as he sacrificed himself.

Lorenzo stopped weaving his movement as he let Rudra plunge both his swords In his Gut , in return he plunged his own short dagger in Rudra's .

The result was that Rudra lost -12,000 HP , but Lorenzo died!

This was the fourth of the top 10 rankers that Rudra had dispatched since the fighting started and when the other rankers recovered from dealing with the mana legion soldiers. This reality hit them hard in the face , the question they had initially walking into this fight was ' How long can Rudra probably last? '

But now the question that they had was ' Can we do it at all ? '.

Rudra was at 42% HP , and there were 6 top 10 rankers left to deal with him. While 6 on one was still ridiculously high odds , it seemed exponentially low difficulty when compared to the starting point of 10 vs one.

The crowd roared on the outside , as people started to beleive now. Beleive that this fight had more than only one outcome of Rudra's death. ThatMaybe the outcome covered 6 more deaths , but none of them being Shakuni.

While the world felt more optimistic about Rudra's situation . Rudra himself did not feel so, as his short burst of speed against Lorenzo was actually incredibly draining on his stamina.

He did not realize how he depleted such ma.s.sive amounts of his stamina , whereas summoning the mana legion basically brought his mana reserves to a cracking 0 .

It could be said that Rudra was in a delicate situation now , as even though he had more cards to play , he did not have much means to play them. But this was exactly the situation that Rudra was hoping for , as he was finally backed into a corner he did not know how to get out of.

Now the question was , could he break past his limits?

It was a question that Rudra himself desperately wanted an answer to.

( Meanwhile Dronacharya )

Having to retreat from the Nineclouds kingdom and letting go of atleast a year's worth of work . Dronacharya had to pretty much start from the scratch again as he tried to build his strength again.

However learning from his mistakes , he realized that he could only focus on Purplehaze city now. As with the time that he would need to build and consolidate his power again , it would be time to enter the ancient ruins to stay on track for his future plans.

He needed to bring down the Elites , and he was not foolish enough to think that taking down Purplehaze city was going to be easy , as he started to make a fullproof plan. A plan that could cover every strategy and counterstrategy , a covering of every possible scenario and a removal of every uncertainty.

7 months from now , the special event dungeon called ' Lily's Garden' would open up , and Dronacharya was sure that Rudra would take his best elites to try and conquer the dungeon then .

Inside the dungeon , outside world communication would be cut off , hence no-one would be able to alert the Elites inside of what was happening. Which would give dronacharya the time he needed to sweep the city from under the Elites's thumb.

Dronacharya planned to make Purplehaze city fall in a short timeframe of 24 hours with overwhelming might. It was an ambitious plan , made around the fact , that without facing Rudra Rajput , he could topple the rest of the elites with ease!

Dronacharya was now paranoid of facing Rudra head on , as he had developed a strong inferiority complex that made his hatred for Rudra strong , but his courage to face him extremely low.

He would use the cowards way to hurt Rudra , which was to take everything he owned , when he was not present to defend it. It was a dastardly way to do things , however dronacharya was a dastardly man .

Ever since the day that he found out that Rudra had a girlfriend in his guild , Naomi became the number one target for him to hurt to get to Rudra. As she was a focal and weak point for him to target .

The fear in his heart kept rising as he saw Rudra take down one dark faction ranker after the other on live TV , as he wondered if he was even 10% as talented as Rudra was?

The more he watched on , the more he realized that it was indeed impossible to take on the player Shakuni , he was simply unrivalled.
