Chapter 271: Shocking the world
Even at floor number 60 , Rudra remained focused and unfazed in face of a group of monsters that common players would need an entire unit to fight against.
Showing the growth of his swordskills , he would now use the skills appropriate to the situation to turn the tide of battle to his own favour. Showing the full glory of a dual wielder , he would in a versatile display of skill change from defense to lethal attacks in a matter of seconds .
His performance was thoroughly convincing. At floor 60 , with 35 seconds left on the clock , Rudra cleared the floor. Burying his sword in the ground below , Rudra squatted to drink a advanced stamina potion.
He focused on making his mind blank again , for the next floor. When the clock showed 5 seconds , he ascended to the next floor. Floor 61 , monsters now became level 80 and higher. This was now fights that were above Rudra’s level range.

Derek Ray : Oof , what a performance on floor 60 by Shakuni Lee , absolutely convincing. His skills are top notch , but I think the key to his success is his high damage dishout rate. I think he has distributed a majority of his stats into his strength since the start and it’s paying off now.
Lee Dixon : Absolutely sensational , what a high damage dishout Derek , that level 79 troll was taken down with three sword strikes Derek , Three , holy mother of god , what insane damage ratio .
Derek Ray : Who would have thought that the slowest climber would have such explosive strength , can he surpass Hammerhead and reach floor 65? , Is Japan looking at a double medal?
Lee Dixon : Definitely they are Derek , just look at Rudra clear floor 61 , bloody hell ,they are level 82 Snow lions , a pack of them at that , and he is dancing between them wielding his two swords dishing damage to everyone.
Derek Ray : The VR Olympics has just took a unexpected turn , The leader of the miracle guild and the flagbearer of Japan ‘ Shakuni’ has reached floor 61 and shows no signs of stopping.

From floor 61 , Rudra started to feel the heat , this is the levels where he trained to level up in the month long training period. Everyday at the levelling time , he would go to level 80-90 levelling grounds , hence these were the monsters he was accustomed to fighting the most.
He knew their strengths and had spent a month adjusting to such fights , hence even though he could no longer maul through the monsters easily , even though he could not kill them with one or two strikes , he could still kill them well within the given time.
Rudra used illusionary sword , and the snow lion veered left trying to avoid the hit , however the sword was a feint , and the real one pierced it’s heart clean , causing a critical hit.
With his one sword hand stuck in a lion , he was vulnerable to attacks , and a lion pounced on him to attack this opening. However Rudra anticipated this , he sidestepped and delivered a brutal overhead slash , crushing the skull of the lion. Within three short seconds , in a sequence of moves the tide of the battle had shifted completely , two of the five lions were dead.
Rudra now not that outnumbered could hold his ground easy against the other three and chipping at their hp constantly , he cleared the floor with 33 seconds to spare.
Squatting down , he impaled his sword into the ground , as he downed a advanced stamina potion.

Derek Ray : Hey …. Hey …. Hey …. Are you seeing this Lee? , This guy is sitting in floor 61 , as if he is sitting in a park , what a terrifying performance.
Lee Dixon : 33 seconds to spare at floor 61 , how far will he go? Can he topple parallax? Well one thing is for sure , he is a treat to watch .
Derek Ray : I think I understand him now , I think he is a player who has invested a majority of his stats in his strength and agility stat , the other stats like intelligence , vitality , stamina , is pitifully low. Hence the slow climbing Lee , he is regenerating lost health and stamina after each floor through supplements .
Lee Dixon : well whatever he is doing its working for him till now , because even floor 62 is not posing a threat to him , look at him totally destroy those level 84 berserk Rhino.
Derek Ray : Not only me , I think the world is in awe of this man , nobody expected such dominance from the Japanese player , he is brute forcing his way through. Can japan expect a second medal? We will find out soon .

Ethan Grey was smiling ear to ear upon seeing Rudra’s convincing performance , the command rooms atmosphere had changed to a positive atmosphere, people had started to believe now , maybe if it was Rudra he could pull it off.
However what Ethan Grey was grinning at was different from what others were grinning at. Ethan was looking at the beautifully intricate trap that Rudra had laid , by squatting down after completing every level , and taking a stamina potion even if he did not need one at all , he had started to create a illusion of being weak in the stamina department.
Rudra was not only playing for gold on his first event , but laying a intricate trap for his coming challengers who would analyse his fighting style and make a counter strategy. How would they despair , when they find out that Rudra’ s stamina was more than theirs by twofold.
Rudra hid many cards , in his climb of the tower , intentionally leaving openings in his defense and only showing techniques that he had shown before in public. Many of his new moves hidden.
Rudra had started laying his mastertrap. His success was not a fluke , every move was a part of a bigger picture, a bigger plan. And slowly but surely , the world while marvelling at his brilliance of fighting , was falling for that trap .
Rudra was going to win the gold medal , there was no doubt in Ethan Grey’s mind. Hence when he cleared floor 65 and surpassed Neatwit and Hammerhead and the entire HQ was cheering in joy that they won two medals , Ethan did not make a single sound , for him this cheering was useless , he would cheer 15 minutes later , when Rudra cleared floor 70 !
