Chapter ?807 From Bad To Worse

When the h.e.l.lhounds took to the sky the army of death started to feel the real heat as not only were those ma.s.sive hounds near invisible with their thick and hard skin which was impenetrable, but they dripped of over 2000C hot lava that instantly burnt a hole in the land that one was standing on much less one's armour.

The demons riding these hounds were also sinister dropping javellins from the air , piercing their targets one at a time as they picked their killings in leisure.

No arrows were able to threaten the life of the lava hounds much as the thick skin gave them immunity from any and all attacks under tier 3 strength.

The worst part was that the lava riders picked off men engaged in active combat against a demon legion , creating tactical holes in the defenses of the army of death which lead to more and more troops dying because of the defensive formations breaking.

More and more people were forced to jump down into the river to save their lives and were at the mercy of the currents to take them where the waters rook them while the army on the other side of the river started to pull back and retreat back into the army of deaths camp.

With the retreat of the troops on the other side , it was clear that today's operation was a complete failure and that no matter what Rudra did now , it was not enough for him to take down Sivanthe's city with the troops he had at his disposal.

On the forums , millions were posting about the current situation as they called it the ' Fall Of The Invincible'

Many thought this day would never come , many waited more than a decade for this day to come and today was that day !

The day when shakuni of the elites lost a battle.... His guild was forced to retreat in humiliation and his strategy was flipped on its belly.

" Never thought I would ever see the day when Shakuni would make a tactical error and lead his army to doom.

Alas , the invincible t.i.tan has finally fallen "

" So Shakuni's strategies are not the best in the world anymore , hmmm , he was trying to play G.o.d but finally he is just a mortal "

" Hahahaha , die elites die! , Hahaha"

" Shakuni no longer has his edge anymore , he is old and his days at the top of the food chain are numbered , soon he will become an relic of the past "

" Today marks the beginning of the end for the elites , the man holding the sky for them is on his knees "

" Haha look at their vice guildmaster, struggling intensely however sure to die! "

( Karna's POV)

Karna fought bravely with his kraken , single handedly holding off nearly 1000 s.h.i.+ps as the rest of the army on one side of the sh.o.r.e retreated , while buying time for those on the other side.

One after another he bravely sunk a total of 72 s.h.i.+ps before having to face s.h.i.+p captains who were tier 4 and above and could land peak tier 4 attacks on him and his pet.

Bruised and battered , he tried his best to match those moves however the kraken under him reached its limit.

Karna wanted to retrieve it before it died however he was a fraction of a second late as one peak tier 4 blast later , his pet kraken died a permanent death in combat.

Karna felt emotions akin to losing a child as he was inconsolable. He had raised the kraken for nearly 8 years ever since he found it as a pet in one of the guilds expeditions!

He had gone through thick and thin with that beast and it's permanent death snapped a switch inside Karna as he became the incarnation of death after it.

Karna went onto slaughter 142 s.h.i.+p crews completely as he killed 14 tier 4 captains and only died when was blasted by another s.h.i.+ps cannon shot.

Sinking to the depths of the river as his HP reached 0 , he apologised to the guildmaster during his fall because he could only buy him this much time alone.

However he had done enough, as the destroyed mess of nearly 220 s.h.i.+ps that he left behind completely blocked the path for the s.h.i.+ps behind and eventhough they wanted to march ahead it was physically impossible anymore for them to do so.

Karna died valiantly, but even in death he was a soldier who had accomplished his mission.

( Meanwhile Rudra)

Rudra had lost 23% of his total HP as he could only take off 9% of SMG 's HP and 7% of Darius 's HP in return.

Bleeding from several minor cuts all over his body Rudra was on the backfoot of an intense battle as his stamina reserves had plummetted to under 30% levels.

It meant a serious red flag for Rudra and should he continue to fight at the same pace that he was fighting he would run out of stamina before he ran out of HP which meant that certain death stared at his way.

While the normal soldiers could jump into the river and run , the same was not possible for Rudra.

He was the commander of this legion and he would be d.a.m.ned if he ran from the enemy while a single one of his soldier remained .

Not that he could run away either. His pursuers were faster than him and outnumbered him which made any ideas of turning his back to them a fast way to a permanent death.

Having been killed by Omar once , Rudra had no more chances inside h.e.l.l. His next death was going to be his last one , and there was a real chance that the day might be today.
