Chapter 721 Contemplation
Chapter 721 Contemplation
Jhonny thought that he could easily sneak up on Mahrez just like he did on the other demons and steal the walnuts from his balls. However he was very wrong about this assumption.The only person to ever catch Jhonny in his ghost form was the tier 5 general Mazikeen of Lucifer’s army. She was ranked the 9th strongest commander , way lower than Mahrez however she could still deal with Jhonny’s petty tricks.
Jhonny felt like Rudra was being overly cautious with his attack approach on Mahrez and decided to take matters into his own hands.
Becoming formless he rushed towards Mahrez with a happy smile as he eyed the two hanging fruits of his manhood as his prey.
However when he finally sneaked up on Mahrez who was busy fighting Rudra , he was caught by the neck in his void form and tossed aside as a rag-doll as Mahrez said ” Don’t mess with me ant , tricks of such level don’t work on me”.
The other elites were shocked to see this sight while Rudra just furrowed his brows in annoyance as he formed a conjecture in his mind.
The reason why Mahrez could easily deal with Jhonny’s ghost form was because all tier 5 existance one had control over the lesser laws of the universe.
The promotion test from tier 4 to tier 5 was not as simple as it seemed as one no longer had to give a physical test of speed and skills to ascend from the tier 4 to tier 5 level but actually a test of comprehension.
Rudra had suspected this long ago as if tier 5 promotion test was a physical test then emperor Cervantez would not have been able to become a tier 5 existance while imprisoned by his son prince Aman.
If the tier 5 test was at a physical place then Cervantez leaving the room was impossible, which meant that it must have been a mental one.
Rudra’s guess was spot on as upon reaching tier 5 which was labelled as the demi-god level one understood a lot of the laws of the universe and could manipulate the very basics of elements to enhance their attack strength.
Upon reaching tier 5 , one could see the trick behind the ghost kings formlessness and could easily evade such basic tricks.
Jhonny’s tricks were hence useless against tier 5 and higher existances as his cheat was nullified at that level.
Although this was a huge setback for Jhonny , for Rudra this was an eye opener as he gained a basic understanding of what he was lacking to be promoted to tier 5 , which was an understanding of how the universe worked.
Thinking about it this way Rudra finally realised that none of his tier 4 attacks or lower needed to borrow mana from the surroundings into his body , however when he activated the ‘ Holy Lance ‘ move the first thing that happened was a bright divine light falling on him as he became swimming within powerful mana currents that were used to produce the attack.
Rudra had not yet understood on how to manipulate the mana in the air , as while he could suck it into himself at a slow pace while cultivating he could not actually imbue the mana from his surroundings into his attacks.
Thinking back to all the times he had seen a tier 5 attack in question Rudra realised that every single time there was a drawing in of mana from the air involved.
Wether it was Mazikeen or Emperor Cervantez, the prerequisite to any tier 5 move seemed to start with that one step.
Feeling enlightened mid battle Rudra understood that this fight was his best chance to understand some of the deeper concepts to becoming tier 5 and that he must do his best to force Mahrez to his absolute limits to understand them.
However the first priority was still to bring the demon out of the city into an open field of battle to minimise the damage to the city.
******
( Mahrez’s POV)
Mahrez was both shocked and angry at how the fight was developing. The information his lord had about the enemy’s strength seemed to be severely lacking as not only were all 15 of his lackeys dead , but Shakuni was also not the sole capable defender of the city.
Although he was not afraid of a bunch of weaklings ganging up on him , he was sure that the mission to destroy the city and kill the king was not going to be as easy as he initially expected it to be.
The strength of King shakuni was not to be taken lightly either as the man showed strength equal to a third division commander while being at only tier 4.
Mahrez finally understood why Lucifer stressed on the elimination of this one man as his potential was too formidable to be allowed to let grow.
Should that man actually be tier 5 Mahrez had no doubt in his mind that he would be forced to retreat in this fight and should the two be equally levelled then he would be the one at a severe disadvantage.
The key to winning the battle now was to kill shakuni as fast as possible with all means necessary, and kill the four guardians of the city supporting him as well.
Only and only then could he eliminate the town without any resistance using his massive tornadoes.
Assured of his plan , Mahrez finally started to go all out against Rudra as he prepared to unleash one of his stronger wind manipulation spells that had the power of an early tier 5 spell!
The winds around Purplehaze city , hence turned turbulent , with winds rich in mana flowing from all four corners of the place violently towards Mahrez inside the inner city.
As expected, Rudra retaliated quickly to stop him from completing his preperation for the move , however the king of elites seemed to have forgotten that he was not a kid born yesterday fighting his first fight.
If he activated the move mid-fight then naturally he had the confidence to complete it regardless.
