War(6) : The Legion Of Doom
War(6) : The Legion Of Doom
The glowing red soldiers all neatly arranged themselves in files of 100 , with a 1 meter gap between to soldiers side by side. Exactly in the middle of the gap between two files , were the second line of troops and soo on .
It was a formation designed to hold their positions , as the scythe wielding mana legion were poised for defense. Although still at tier 2 , they had no problem in going neck to neck with the best players from Triad alliance.
Hence started a session of scuffling , as the mana legion lead by Rudra and supported by the Elites fire from the walls and Karna , Yume and SMG from the backlines started their fight with the attacking triad forces.
The next ten minutes , Rudra was made proud by the mana legion . Although casualties were suffered on both sides as expected , the mana legion was able to hold out the advance of the triad members very efficiently.
It took about 2 minute for the two front files of 100 soldiers to die under relentless assault . Meaning even after 10 full minutes , there were still half the numbers of the mana legion left.
Their Scythe gave them a range of attack , and although at 45,000 their HP was very low when compared to an average player , their damage was very high.
The best part of the mana legion was that they were like a well oiled machine , completely in sync , as the movements were basically mirrored across the entire ranks. Foot to foot , line to line , it was a perfectly co-ordinated defence.
With Rudra still serving at the front as the one doing most of the a** whooping , the triad forces did suffer heavily under his sword. His attacks were at a blistering pace. The opponents could barely react to see them coming , much less move to dodge.
Rudra's stamina , damage output and fighting style were out of this world , his personal deathcount soon touched over 100,000 enemy soldiers . He was literally a one man army.
Rhino recording this performance by the Elites from the backlines was just gawking with his jaws open , at the way things were progressing. He could see that the gate behind him was progressively being sealed , and all they needed was 5-7 more minutes for the lifestyle guild to be done .
The way Rudra was holding out uptill now , it was clear that he was very serious in not letting a single enemy from the triad alliance step foot inside Purplehaze city.
However , the smooth going was about to change ... As with more and more triad members dying , it was finally the Raging Thunder guild who were only supposed to get involved in the fight , inside Purplehaze city . That had to forcibly come to the front and get involved in the fighting.
The superguild from Mithun Ambani had a player centric approach as professional gamers ran the show there instead of trained gangsters , and the difference in approach was clearly visible as they joined the fight.
Immediately deploying spell tailsmen and AOE attacks on Rudra and the mana legions location , they took a RPG gaming approach on the situation instead of a head-on fight.
Rudra was bombarded with spells and arrows , as international level players who took part in the VR Olympics ganged up on him , forcing out a unfair fight .
These were world-class players who had ganged up on Rudra here , 10 of whom won medals for their respective countries in VR Olympics and 5 others who did participate in the event. 15 such players had now taken the job on facing Rudra head on .
Rudra was pressed hard , as he was relentlessly attacked from all sides , being a dual sword wielder , Rudra was a very offense oriented player , and his defensive capabilities greatly depended on him being able to avoid attacks . However in a situation where he was pincered from all sides , was bad for him , putting him in a tactical disadvantage.
One of the opponents tried to trash talk Rudra " Huh , not soo tough now are you champ , we are not some street gangsters but world class players , you can beat all those loosers from The Triads all you want , but can you take on the 15 of us? ".
This was completely deplorable , they were 15 worldclass players who were ganging up on one , yet they still put it out as a flex of their greatness. Rudra laughed at these empty words , he was fighting with a handicap uptill now . He had not even started using over 60% of his true capabilities yet ...
Activating the eyes of truth Rudra could see everything now ... Every attack path , every weakness of his opponents. Everything in a bit slow motion.
Rudra started to weave through and show the 15 kids who the real boss was. In a unbelievable display of pure skills and raw power , Rudra showed them all how outclassed they were fighting with a True Elite . As the moment Rudra got serious , was the moment they started to fall like flies ... 15 became 10 and 10 became 5 , from then on they were screwed.
Fear was evident in the eyes of the guy who trashtalked as he could not believe that even the best assaulters in his team , that could win medals on the world stage , could not stand a full minute against one player.
" M...mmm....monster " it was the last word he could utter before he was killed by a thrust from the elven sword. His blood recovering some lost HP for Rudra , who coldly gazed at the other opponents who tried to attack him.
Noone wanted to confront the madman , fear was evident within the eyes of the triad and raging thunder members alike , it's when Rudra heard a voice from karna ... The final death sentence for his enemies . Karna said " Boss , the walls back solid ! "
This information was music to Rudra's ears , as a big grin appeared on his face .....
The mana legion reformed themselves from defensive formation to a very agressive attacking formation. Rudra was about to go out on a tear!
