Chapter 628 Shakuni Is Dead?

( On The Eastern Battlefield )

Neatwit and his army of ducks were causing chaos in the eastern side of the Purplehaze city town when they heard a loud explosion that rattled half the city.

As Neatwit glanced over his shoulder he saw a ma.s.sive green dragon stretching for killometers destroy a series of buildings , as it came from the nothern end of the battlefield and destroyed everything uptil the eastern battlefield.

Although Neatwit had no idea about why a ma.s.sive dragon was rampaging through the city , he had a bad premonition about it.

Busy with his own battles , he could not check out the crash site where the dragon eventually stopped , but not more than 5 minutes later a piece of extremely disturbing news entered his ears.

A blood merchant bannerman was running around the town screaming at the top of his lungs.

" HEAR - HEAR - HEAR THE LEADER OF THE ELITES , THE KING OF THIS KINGDOM , SHAKUNI WON KNIGHT , HAS BEEN KILLED AT THE HANDS OF ALMIGHTY COMMANDER SCAR-FACE!

HEAR- HEAR - HEAR .... "

The elites morale plunged when this news fell on their ears as many could not beleive the bannermans words.

However everyone had seen the ma.s.sive dragon attack , and adding the two events up , many connected the events to realise , Shakuni may really be dead.

Neatwit's eyes widened in shock at the news , as he felt like vomitting from his stomach.

Convulsing he said weakly ... " Guildmaster?.... ".

( On the western Battlefield )

As Jhonny heard the news , he looked towards the skies and let out a deep sigh.

It was truly tragic news if Rudra had really fallen and it only meant that the chances of an elite victory became that much lower.

However unlike Neatwit who was paralyzed by the news , Jhonny had seen a lot of ups and downs in life and lost a lot of important freinds and colleagues.

He was not incapacitated by this news and took it upon himself to work even harder to offset Rudra's absence.

Shouting loudly , he acted like a real commander as he rallied the words

" HEAR MEN , THE GUILDMASTER HAS CARRIED THE GUILD ON HIS BACK FOR LONG ENOUGH , THIS TIME LET US SHOW THAT WE CAN HOLD OUT ON OUR OWN! ... FOR SHAKUNI!!! ".

" FOR SHAKUNI! ".

Jhonny steered the emotional damage into fuel for fighting as the troops on the western end entered a state of natural berserkness as they tore through the enemies as they resolved to honor their dead guildmaster.

( The world media )

The Live war win predictor showed the chances of an elite victory at 26% before Rudra's death , as the miraculous sequence of events lead many to beleive that this war may also be one of the true Elite specials where they find a way out.

But following Rudra's death the win predictor quickly fell by a whopping 21% , down to only 5% in a matter of 5 minutes and was still tumbling down every second.

The ma.s.sive dragon attack was played on loop as scenes were shown of how Rudra was. .h.i.t head on from that move and dragged through 2.5 kms of buildings and concrete.

Hailed as the number one player of the nothern continent by a few , Rudra had a ma.s.sive chip on his shoulder as while there could be a debate on wether or not he was the best a.s.saulter , there was no question in anybody's mind that he was one of the best.

His ability was universally recognised and his genius in war tactics was said to be unparalleled. Many accredited the elites success to his own personal success , hence it was no wonder the chances of victory fell so far , so fast.

Without Rudra , the world doubted if an elite victory was possible.

Scar-face's gloating after killing Rudra was shown as small children across the world started to cry and grown men felt fear in their hearts looking at that monster.

Although Rudra had fallen to his devastating move , there was no other player in Omega who could boast taking that move head on and still love to tell the tale.

Completely unparalleled and terrifying , the dragon Emperor Destruction was a move that would be seen on loop for many generations to come.

( Meanwhile the southern Battlefield )

The Southern battlefield lead by karna was faring the best of all four battlefields , as although their kill count was lower , they were losing much less men as compared to other Battlefronts and were able to hold out their lines for much longer without falling back.

Karna's way of leaders.h.i.+p was a stark contrast to Rudra's , as karna strongly believed that the best defense was the ultimate offense , hence he lead his army to always lay back and wait for the opportunity to strike.

Keeping oneself safe was the highest priority under his command , and the groups were a.s.signed to watch each other's backs.

When the Flagmen came bearing the news to the southern side of town and announced that Rudra was dead , it was a huge morale blow for the southern forces as everyone started to murmur and gossip about it.

Rudra was borderline a holy figure inside the Elite guild and his image was one that was absolutely untouchable.

It was because of this image that the pinch of losing their leader was a huge one!

' Is it true ? Is guild leader really dead? '.

'No way , i-it can't be true , it can't be '.

'The guild master is invincible , he can't be defeated! '

' Open your eyes to reality guys , the guildmaster , he-he has fallen'.

' What are we doing if the guild master is dead, who will stop the enemy leader then? '.

While the elites panicked , the blood merchants cheered as they said the nastiest things about Shakuni.

' Hahaha , scar-face showed them who the boss is! '.

' It was only a matter of time , commander scar-face is invincible under tier 5 '.

' Who the h.e.l.l did shakuni think he was to fight our commander .... Pffttt ofcourse he 's dead ! '.

' Shakuni is a weakling , and so are all of you!!! Our leader killed your leader and we will kill you! '.

Karna who heard such chatted immediately felt his blood boil , as his eyes turned red .

" WHAT A LOAD OF BULLs.h.i.+T ! ".

Everyone's attention quickly gathered around Karna.

" I CAN UNDERSTAND IF THESE BLOOD MERCHANT IDIOTS BELEIVE IN THIS PROPAGANDA , BUT HEARING OUR OWN GUILD MEMBERS BELEIVE IN THIS BULLs.h.i.+T , I'M LIVID ! ".

Using a grand move Karna stabbed his greatsword in the ground below and blew everyone in a 20 meter radius away.

" IF YOU GUYS ACTUALLY BELEIVE THAT GUILD MASTER SHAKUNI CAN FALL IN BATTLE ... THEN I DONT EVEN KNOW WHERE YOU GO OFF CALLING YOURSELF AN ELITE ! ".

Karna spouted words with pa.s.sion .

" A mere scar-face thinks he can defeat OUR guildmaster ? ... NO CHANCE ".

" You bring one scar-face or you bring one hundered , i can put my life on the line and declare proudly that OUR guildmaster can defeat a hundered of them and still walk out of the fight as if nothing has happened !!".

Karna looked towards the sky and closed his eyes as he balled his hands into a fist.

" DON'T FALL FOR THEIR PROPAGANDA , Has the guildmaster ever failed the guild? Has he ever been defeated? Has he ever fallen in a fight?

There is yet to be a mortal that is born on this continent that can defeat OUR guildmaster....

Let alone scar-face , even if Lucifer himself descends on middle earth .... He can't kill OUR guildmaster!

SO DONT YOU TURN YOUR BACK ON HIM! ".

Karna spouted words like venom , but every single Elite could feel the pa.s.sion behind those words as they resounded deep within their souls.

Everyone else may beleive in the propaganda , but Karna knew Rudra the best , and he knew that Rudra could not die when the guild needed him the most .

" IF HE'S DEAD HE WILL CRAWL HIS WAY OUT OF THE DEPTHS OF h.e.l.l AND COME BACK TO LIFE , BUT I SWEAR MY GUILDMATES.

IN 30 MINUTES , SCAR-FACE WILL LOSE HIS LIFE , I CAN GAURANTEE THAT WITH MY OWN LIFE!".

The elites on the southern side all heeded Karna's words and a fire was lit under them as well , as while the blood merchants thought what Karna said was just empty bulls.h.i.+t , karna himself beleived every word he said 200%.

Finally he murmured as n.o.body could hear what he was saying " what the h.e.l.l are you doing , you b.a.s.t.a.r.d , how dare you let them talk trash about you ... After the war , you and me will have a chat about this ".
