Chapter 774: A city fight (2)
( Max’s POV )
Today’s fight was the first time that the light faction humans that Rudra had recruited for the war in hell across all legions got a chance to taste war for the very first time.
Today’s war was much different to the fight that Max had fought in the village as today it was a mad slaughter of demons as for every human there were 2 humans looking after their back , but for the demons it was a shit show.
The flood of humans never stopped and nor did the attacks as although a demon could fight at high intensity for 2 minutes , after a while it’s hands would start to ache and it’s movements would become sloppy as the enemy would be as fast as the start and manage to cut it down to pieces.
In about 40-45 minutes of fighting, Max managed to level up 4 times and was nearing the peak of tier 1. The fight was basically easy and crowded as he needed to really try hard to find a demon to kill rather than fight a demon to kill.
Upon looking up , Max saw blazing explosions above the city sky as he saw two small figures fight at hyperdpeed in the space and his gut told him that one of them must be his brother.
He no longer even thought about the time it would take to reach his brothers level as he had basically given up on that dream.
This was because of the fact that even at tier 5 he grew faster than Max did at tier 1 , and hence Max decided to focus on the search for potential opponents rather than sky gazing.
The search consumed much of his energy while the fight consumed less. But due to this phenomenon and the fact that he was surrounded by a sea of human fighters , he became comfortable and casual in the environment not understanding that the direction the mob was moving in had a tier 4 demon on the other end.
It was only when a kusarigama chopped off heads of 12 men infront of him that he realised that there was a huge trouble ahead.
A tier 4 demon warrior stomped his feet as his athletic lean body with 8 abbs and blazing black tattoos intimidated Max and caused a fear debuff to be triggered.
system notification: You are in presence of a vastly superior opponent and in a state of fear , all stats are reduced by 90% temporarily
Max felt the strength leave his body as he felt helpless and defenseless against the demon swinging his blade from a chain , Max could technically still move his body however he was as slow as a snail at this moment with his own bodyweight currently being his biggest obstacle.
Max thought that this was it and there was no li
ving on from this incident as he mentally prepared himself for waking up inside a church of life.
However before the kusarigama could meet with his neck it was deflected by a glaive as a tier 4 elite warrior came to the rest of the crews rescue.
Max recognised this warrior , he was Matthias Schmidt a.k.a masterofchaos, a second batch of elite passout and Max’s senior in the academy , a popular guy who had reportedly fought the elders on his first day at the academy and was beaten by Karna after a strong fight.
The guy was a legend in the academy for having one of the fastest rise in power levels as he was currently the only elite academy passout to reach tier 4 power and be promoted to a core elite.
Matthias looked at Max and recognised his junior as he said ” Year 1 , lecture ‘ Creatures and Creation ‘ , species demons , recite me the book will you Max? ”
Max stuttured for a second , however remembered the information in an instant as he said ” Demons , a species that is categorised into higher demons , demons and lower demons depending on their blood lines.
Higher demons have wings and strong inherent strength whose warriors reach tier 4 more often than not.
Their average species height is 6 feet 11 inches but most warriors are 7 and a half feet to eight feet tall.
They have the same physiology as humans however their build is more robust and superior.
The only department where a demon is weaker than a human is intelligence as although the species is sentient it’s not as clever as humans.
So when facing a demon the best way to beat it is through outsmarting them “.
Matthias smiled as he said ” Very good max , your theoretical knowledge is on point , no wonder you passed out so fast , it took be many hours to memorize this stuff.
However, let me show it implemented to you practically today “.
Saying so Matthias charged at the demon.
The way Rudra had designed the curriculum for the fighters in the elite academy was that it developed critical thinking ability that could help them in any situation.
The only reason why Rudra spent countless hours personally writing a book about all the known species and how to fight them was because he wanted the students to think in a certain manner while facing certain species to better form fight strategies.
This was the biggest advantage that an elite academy passout had over any professional gamer in the world as their
line of thought was backed by scientific thinking and probability while their fighting skills were sharpened by the best players in the world.
