Chapter 580: Trying Hard
WORLD SLASH!
Rudra put his entire bodyweight behind that attack as a terrific world slash that tore through space collided with the lightning from the tribulation.
BANG!
The collision sent ripples throughout the plains of thunder however in the end Rudra ‘s attack was able to prevail as it slashed towards the heavens after beating back the lightning strike.
” YEAHHH “. Rudra cheered as he saw his attack vanish into the clouds as adrenaline started to course through his veins. He was ready to defy the heavens themselves.
There was a moment of silence , then a lightning strike much quicker and stronger than the last time attacked Rudra , as he met the strike head on taking the attack on his sword.
SHIIINGGGG!
The elven sword hummed with power as the lightning strike sent of sparks after colliding with the swords surface as Rudra was pressed hard by the sheer force of holding the lightning off.
” Arggghhhhh ” , putting strength back in his spine Rudra pushed the attack back as he dispelled the lightning strike after using leaf blade hurricane to rapidly dispell the blow.
” Ha…..ha…..whewww….ha “. Rudra breathed heavily as the previous block required him to use all his strength to counter the lightning strike as he successfully defeated the second blow of the lightning tribulation but there were still 8 more of them whose intensity was only going to increase.
Rudra wisely chose to gulp down one stamina potion and one Max HP potion as he restored his strength in the gap between two lightning strikes. Ever since he was ambushed by the dark faction players without having appropriate supplies stocked , Rudra became more particular in managing inventory as he knew that a battle could emerge out of nowhere.
Restoring strength Rudra prepared to face the third lightning strike , however he knew that he needed to use other means to fight back the lightning attacks as if he took any stronger attacks head on using the elven sword , his sword would undoubtedly break.
Hence when the third lightning tribulation hit Rudra chose to fight fire with fire as he used Stormbringer to unleash a lightning strike of his own to beat back the lightning strike from the heavens. However knowing full well it would not be enough Rudra added darkness blast and 10,000 sword cuts in rapid succession to create a combo to stop the third lightning strike.
BAM! , when thunder met thunder the thunder lit up the sky as it spread vertically throughout the sky , while darkness blast and the ten thousand sword cuts completely quelled the momentum of the third strike , as finally a few sword cuts managed to pass through towards the heavens!
Rudra had successfully defeated the third lightning strike however it came at a heavy price of expending three of his best moves. He was hard pressed as to what to do next as he had limited choices now to counter the fourth strike.
Hence when the fourth lightning strike manifested itself and it was a terrifying purple color , much stronger and wider than the first three attacks , Rudra was only left with one attack to counter it.
Using the wooden necklace he shot out three pointed spears towards the lightning strikes as wood and thunder interacted mid-air , setting the wood on fire however the flaming wood did pierce the lightning strike and moved towards the heavens before burning all up , as Rudra barely managed to beat back the fourth strike.
By this point Rudra had understood that since the intensity of lightning increased after every move that he defeated , which meant that he was on the right track. Should he defeat enough lightning strikes he would pass the trial. However he had no idea as to how many.
The only reliable moves left in his arsenal were solar beam and the divine move that he could not use without crippling his body.
Both of whom were his ace in the hole which meant that should Rudra could only use them as a last resort. But nothing in his arsenal at the moment was something quite as powerful as his only gamble now was the move full counter! However the condition remained that the elven sword should withstand the blow. Which seemed impossible to Rudra under the current conditions , however hard pressed for options he grit his teeth and decided to go through with it anyways as he prepared to take the fifth lightning strike.
When the fifth one manifested itself , Rudra shouted with all his might ” FULL COUNTERR ! “.
As he met with the attack head on using the elven sword.
Crackle ! Crackle! Bzzzz! Shiiinggggg !
The elven sword vibrated violently , the power of the attack was too much for the thin sword to take , however Rudra prayed in his heart that it pull through this attack , as the elven sword was able to send the lightning strike back towards the heavens packing with double power , as the fifth lightning strike met with the sixth lightning strike mid air , the collision causing a BIG BOOM , that was as loud as a missile explosion.
The entire sky became as white as day for a few moments before Rudra’s countered move was barely able to beat the sixth lightning strike without dissipating first as the elven sword in Rudra’s hands cracked once the job was over.
Breaking into two clean parts along the hilt , Rudra saw his beloved weapon fall to the floor in pieces as it finally gave in to the intense pressure once it’s job was done.
First Excalibur , then the retractable shield and now his trusted Elven sword , one after the other Rudra was loosing his most reliable equipment as he could feel his heart sinking with despair at seeing his trusted weapon break.
The elven sword had been with him through thick and thin , and was a weapon whose weight felt perfectly balanced in his hands and a weapon whose reach and attacks Rudra had mastered to perfection.
The loss of this weapon hit Rudra hard , however there was no time for glooming for him as the seventh lightning strike prepared to strike down on him!
