Chapter 869: The elites’s last stand
Lucifer’s glare towards Furball was full of hate and contempt and the devil did not shy away from pushing towards her an endless barrage of darkness lance’s , however the aiming was a mess due to all the pain that Lucifer was suffering and completely all over the place.
Medivh saw this opportunity and decided that he needed to exploit it somehow and hence unleashed the attack wheel of fire on Lucifer.
The wheel of fire was a tier 4 attack and one of the best that Medivh could summon as it was not meant for AOE type damage but rather used in one vs one combat, making it packed with energy.
However, Medivh was given a taste of reality fairly quickly when Lucifer swatted his wheel of fire like swatting off a pesky fly as his rhythm of attacking furball did not even slow down.
It was at this moment that the elites finally understood the true chasm between their weak selves and the devil as although they had collectively tried their best to stop a single attack from Lucifer, they were still far-far away from having the power to actually attack the devil.
Cola , Rhino and Tank flanked Lucifer while Bo and Skyla decided to attack from a distance as they threw daggers.
The five of them coordinated a well timed attack targetting Lucifer’s right arm, however although the attack was technically well targetted and we’ll timed, in practicality it was just too slow!
While cola and rhino were decoys at Lucifer’s vision side, tank was coming in from his blind side to try a stabbing attack, while two daggers were thrown aimed at his right arm by Bo and Skyla.
Lucifer calmly dodged two daggers targetting his extended right arm that was holding the prison of darkness as he turned and shot Tank at point blank range with a darkness lance creating a hole the size of a tank missile in his chest.
From the start to finish the entire process only took 0.5 seconds and the movements of the devil were so fast to the naked eye it seemed as if he had not moved at all and the two daggers has passed through his arm as if it was air while tank was suddenly dead.
Lucifer grabbed cola by the neck and raised him above ground, his cold red eyes staring a hole in cola’s soul before he calmly crushed it like crushing a ripe mago , blood and brains spluttering all over.
With cola dying the rest of the world lost their last streamer streaming the war live and the screens worldwide turned into darkness momentarily before displaying the familiar wake up sequence at the church of light.
The next one to die a gruesome death was Rhino who was melted to his death by a black flame attack.
His painful screams filled the barren city as his bone and flesh alike was melted away by the tier 5 attack that Lucifer flicked onto him.
After Rhino it was Bo who died a horrible death and after him was Skyla.
One after another Lucifer picked the small fries supporting Rudra until only, Karna, Furball and a half-dead Neatwit were left alive.
Lucifer turned to Karna next as he said ” of all the small fries , you are the most annoying “.
Karna did not react to Lucifer’s words at all and did not even try to dodge the attack coming his way as he knew it was fruitless.
A death for the others on this battlefield here meant that they would just wake up in the city in the middle realm. A death for Karna here however meant game over.
Having already died once in the battle to cross river Thames he and Rudra were walking a tight rope in this war and risking everything to fight.
Although Karna did not mind being granted such a spectacular death by the hands of the devil himself, a small part of him really did not want his adventure in Omega to come to an end until the end.
” 58…59…60 “. Karna counted under his breath and smiled. The one minute Rudra had asked for were up!
Right on time , the attack coming towards him was deflected by his guildmaster and he was saved.
Rudra assessed the battlefield and said ” Leave the rest here to me , you help Neatwit, the lad looks half dead “.
” HE STIRS ONCE AGAIN! , HOW WONDERFUL! “. Lucifer showed his absolute distaste to see Rudra back in action.
If looks could kill, Rudra would already be dead a million times under the gaze of the devil as Lucifer questioned if he had hated someone so much since the start of time.
Something was different about Rudra this time as he matched Lucifer’s gaze, as there was an eerie calm in his demeanor that gave the devil the chills for some reason.
There was a reason as to why Rudra did not use his best tactics against Lucifer straight from the get-go.
Rudra knew he was going to have one shot to save the god’s and he needed to make it count.
However he was finally ready to go all out now!
**********
( Meanwhile on the forums )
There was a terrifying public outrage regarding cola’s death and the loss of the last streaming individual for the war as nobody knew what was going to happen in the war next.
Thousands of people flocked to the Purplehaze city church of light as the only indicator of what happened in the war was now the elites respawning at the church.
If Rudra showed up at the church then it would mean that it was all over. However if he did not show up meant that the fight was still ongoing.
When 12 of the 14 elites who were supporting Rudra showed up at the church , many thought that it was going to be only a few moments until vice guildmaster Karna and high ranker Neatwit showed up as well , however five minutes passed and they did not show up , causing speculation as to what was going on.
Wether Rudra slayed the devil or not , it seemed as if only 3 individuals were going to be able to witness this event in all of mankind.
