Chapter 715: A trained unit
( Medivh’s POV)
Medivh was engrossed in his studies in his mage tower when he felt a tremor inside his room.
The ground was violently shaking as if in a earthquake, however coupled with the violent explosion sound in the background, Medivh instantly understood that the city was under some sort of an attack.
He looked out of a window in the tower and saw a few damned demons flying in the air as he cursed his damn luck.
He was reading a very interesting book on the origin of mana inside the mage tower and these damn demons had interrupted his leisure. He was feeling extremely annoyed and instantly went towards the control room of the mage tower in a hurry.
Connecting himself to the runes and the mana pathway inside , Medivh became omnipotent as he looked at the city and the sky above it like an all knowing omnipotent god.
Noticing the three tornadoes in the hands of the biggest demon , Medivh said to himself ‘ Oh no you don’t… ‘ , as he unleashed an inferno beam aimed directly at the demon’s chest , forcing him to cancel the spell he was casting at once.
Ever since he had progressed to tier 4 , Medivh had unlocked the true potential of the mage tower that Rudra had built him ages ago.
He was basically driving a Ferrari with a learners license uptil this point in time when he was at tier 2 , while he could only be said to be an amateur driver at tier 3 who could at maximum take the car to 100 mph.
Only after reaching tier 4 did he feel like a professional racecar driver who could push his car to the limits , as the structure that Rudra had built him could help him express attacks that could even show pseudo – tier 5 strength.
Although Medivh had no idea about the strength of the enemy, he was sure of the task that he needed to perform , which was stalling until the guildmaster was ready to engage , and while being inside his mage tower , he was not afraid of the demons in the sky at all.
His mindset had solidified significantly after spending years as an elite and finally killing his first opponent in real life after the recent raid at the upside , as he went from a shy stumbling man to a bold mage with the demeanor of a killer ,who was proactive in hunting down his opponents.
However his raging hot blood cooled down instantly when he saw his enemy stopping his singular inferno beam that could even drive back dragons , being blocked without landing a single scratch.
” T-tier 5! ” He exclaimed as that was the only level that would make sense to block such an attack , as he started to feel butterflies fly up in his stomach.
He was out of his league here….
A weaker man may have had a breakdown in such a situation , however Medivh remained calm. He understood that if inferno , one of the top 3 moves of the mage tower was incapable of landing a scratch on the opponent , then all he could do was be a deterrent and play defense.
He needed to give Rudra as much time as he could to come up with a counter strategy.

( Meanwhile Neatwit and Karna)
Karna responded quickly to the sound of the blaring alarms in the city as he rushed out of the elite guild headquarters and looked at the threat in the city.
He noticed the tier 4 winged- demons and their tier 5 commander and had the same thought as Rudra about the situation which was ‘ Holy sh** ‘.
However equipping his three swords he quickly headed out towards the church of death as he knew that Rudra was probably still present there.
However, he made sure to drop a message in the guild chat before he left where he asked the guild members to get their hands on all the handheld pulse cannons that they could get and prepare to respond to the external threat.
This was the best quality of Karna , as while he left the heavy thinking to Rudra and his first instinct was to find him and ask for orders , he also did not forget to comfort and react according to his own position as a vice guildmaster and prepare a primary response to the best of his abilities.
This was the main difference between himself and the other elders , who were undoubtedly strong players but very poor leaders under true duress.
Neatwit just like Karna responded to the threat by equipping himself quickly and rolling out towards the city , but unlike Karna he did not go looking for Rudra and tried to neutralize all incoming attacks on the city instead.
He had a simple objective in his mind as of this moment which was to minimize damage and protect civilians at all costs , as he did his best to stop the demon’s attacks from landing in the vicinity where he was.
It was a very noble cause in general , however not very appropriate for the bigger picture as Neatwit’s best usage was not in damage control but to deal with the situation as a whole first.
Nonetheless, when he saw Rudra’s message to get to the inner city fast , he abandoned his position and rushed to meet up at the church of death.

( Meanwhile the Elites)
Upon receiving orders by Karna to take the handheld cannons from the armoury and retalitate against the demons , the elites did not dally at all as within minutes they were out on the streets trying to shoot them down , however when they realised that due to the turbulent winds it was impossible to make a shot they felt greatly disheartened.
However upon seeing Medivh’s inferno force off the tornadoes , the elites got the opening they needed to shoot the damn winged demons down, as hundereds of thousands of pulse beams lit up the sky, as the winged demons who expected an easy crushing of the city were horrified to see such a well organised response.
Many winged demons could not avoid all blasts and were hit by a few here and there losing HP, as Mahrez finally understood that the backward middle earth city was actually a well oiled machine!
He needed to be more assertive to crush them it seemed.
