Chapter 589: Shakuni and the sword
Rudra was swamped with work for a week after his tier promotion , hence he could only inform Patricia about his success through sending a letter. However little did he expect that she would show up at his doorstep with a surprise.
As Patricia walked into his office Rudra had a bright smile plastered to his face as even Furball who usually hated females purred in joy as she started to rub around Patricia’s legs.
” Here kitty kitty “. Said Patricia as she tickled Furball for a while , before setting her back on Rudra’s work desk and taking a seat.
” Welcome to my humble palace “. Said Rudra who looked majestic and amiable with the crown over his head , however Patricia was buying none of it.
She said ” The king must be extremely busy , apologies for interrupting his highness , so busy that he would inform his sister of his exploits through a letter rather than coming personally.
But ofcourse , the king only comes to his sister when he has something to ask from her , the pleasure of an non-buisness visit is something that this sister will never feel “.
Rudra scratched his nose in embarrassment , he had no defence for his actions , hence he only hung his head down in shame.
” Ugh , when did you get soo unbearably handsome? What changed? “. Asked Patricia with annoyance in her voice. Apparently Patricia found Rudra extremely handsome to the point where her feelings started to become a bit disoriented.
” After the mythic class….. , i got cool effects too “. Rudra said with a devilish smile as he activated his new passive aura skill , as black smoke rose around his body giving him an intimidating appearance.
Patricia was not a tier 2 weakling that would be affected by Rudra’s new form , however even she gulped involuntarily from the pressure Rudra exerted , as she said ” Finally a worthy aura for a king “.
She was genuinely impressed by Rudra’s improvements , which was why she was here with a gift. Retrieving the scabbard from her inventory she put the blade on the table.
Thud!
The blade was heavy and made a heavy sound as it was placed on the table , looking at the magnificent scabbard Rudra drooled a little , completely ruining his cool image he built only seconds ago.
” For me … ? ” Rudra asked like a small child , as he reached to retrieve the sword , however Patricia swatted his hands away as she said with a serious tone ” Only if you beat me in battle “.
Patricia’s expression turned dead serious after this declaration as both Won Knight’s activated the Eyes of truth at the same time as they squared off.
” Okay “. Rudra said as he accepted the challange and proceeded to move to a more suitable area for sparring , as he led Patricia towards the training grounds.
Rudra retrieved the grim reaper , as the pitch black sword also covered in black fumes matched perfectly with Rudra’s changed aura.
E
” New sword? “. Patricia asked , as Rudra nodded , however that was the end of the small talk , as after retrieving her own sword and shield , Patricia took the stance of the ideal knight.
Her eyes deathly serious she slowly moved towards Rudra with her feet firmly planted to the ground.
Rudra felt his blood boiling , as after days of aching for a good fight this was his chance to fight someone with a comparable callibre and strength , as he relished the opportunity charging towards Patricia.
[ Cloud Feet ]
Activating cloud feet , Rudra moved in a bizzare and unnatural manner as he danced around Patricia waiting for a crack in her defense.
BLOCK ! BLOCK ! BLOCK! PARRY!
Rudra’s 4 strikes that were delivered in under 0.5 seconds , but were properly blocked by Patricia whose defence stayed solid.
However while the attacks were blocked , the corrosive aura of Rudra’s Grim Reaper did start deteriorating Patricia’s equipment , as visible scars were left on her shield.
‘ Woah ‘ , thought Rudra , as the effects of the Grim Reaper had far exceeded his expectations of the sword. However for Patricia it was a even greater shock , as her equipment was not run of the mill , but one of the best to be offered in Hazelgroove Empire.
Keeping the pressure on , Rudra unleashed a flurry of attacks , but no matter how hard he pressed , Patricia’s defensive stance was solid and she was able to successfully mentain her ground.
” Comeon , you can do better “. Patricia taunted Rudra as she began to bring the fight to him. However at this moment Patricia failed to realize that Rudra was not even using 10% of his potential in the fight.
The moment Rudra shifted gears and started his actual attack combos , Patricia understood the disparity between the duo.
[ Darkness Bind ]
[ Darkness Blast ]
[ Summon undead durahal ]
Rudra’s first two attacks put Patricia in a bind , however the Undead Durahal that was now a peak tier 3 undead commander was a force that simply added a dimension to Rudra’s attack skills , as a second attack front was opened by Rudra after summoning durahal.
Now being pressed from two sides , Patricia realized that dealing with durahal in itself was not hard , however turning her back on Rudra to deal with durahal was impossible , as she could not find the time to maneuver around Rudra at all.
Consistent damage was delivered to Patricia as she was forced to retreat against her will , however in her heart she was still resentful because she felt that Rudra was using unfair means of his equipment to dominate the battle.
However when Rudra used the move
[ Undead Legion ]
And summoned an entire sea of undead around Patricia , with some more tier 3 elder litches present and uncountable tier 2 and tier 1 undead , Patricia felt her bones chill as the reality of the situation finally hit her.
The entire fight was just a facade , Rudra could have defeated her without even lifting a single finger. However he still humored her.
” You are a necromancer now ? “. Patricia asked concerned , as The previous necromancer she knew , the formidable prince Aman. Was not very beloved by the people of this very city.
” Death knight , it’s necromancy without being physically disabled. I’m a knight + necromancer “. Rudra replied , giving an overly brief view of the situation as the answer left Patricia speachless.
Patricia sometimes wondered if the gods were biased with her little brother , giving him all the fortune of the world , as while the necromancer class was extremely strong in of itself , the only drawback of the necromancer which was that the necromancer’s own physical strength was weak , however this was not an issue for Rudra , as he had the strength of a knight.
” God may have just plain made him invincible rather than carrying out such facade”. Thought Patricia as she sighed and admitted her defeat , however Rudra was not done with his demonstration as he said ” Oh but you haven’t yet seen this “.
Saying so , Rudra used the move
[ Knight Of The Empire ] as he transformed into a golden warrior who was 300 feet tall!
Patricia’s heart thumped , as her mouth was left agape as he mind screamed ‘ Is it really …. Could it be ? ‘.
The Ultimate Technique of the Won Knight family, the secret technique of Augustus Won Knight.
Complete and in all its glory.
The Knight Of the Empire!
A tear escaped Patricia’s eye when she saw this , as her knees buckled and she wept like a little schoolgirl on the floor.
This form was her greatest ambition in life. The ultimate technique of the Won Knight family. The family which adopted her as a child and gave her a noble life when she had nothing. Entrusting her with the job of reaching this pinnacle or finding a successor that could.
While she could not reach it herself , she did complete the task given to her by her ancestors by finding the successor! She completed the task that the 10 generations of Won knights before her could not!
The happiness she felt in this moment , was surreal.
” Thankyou …. Thankyou … Thankyou ” She murmured weakly , as she thanked Rudra and she thanked the gods for meeting Rudra , as with this a big goal in her life was finally complete.
