Rudra and the Elites took nearly one hour to push the enemies 50 meter away from the wall. Definitely it was only possible with the help of Hazelgroove kingdom forces and the Elves on the walls , but nonetheless they were successful.

The scene became clearer as the distance from the wall increased , as anyone of the enemy forces who tried to go past that point was shot down by the elves.

The line of control set up by the elites was too thin . But the purpose of the Elites holding the line was not to defend the line and not let any enemy passs behind them , but to just stand as a clear differentiator in the complete chaos.

If an enemy did slip behind the line of control they would be shot down , while allies could retreat to safety . As a result there were no opportunities for the enemy forces to launch a sneak attack to damage the integrity of the wall.

Rudra was like a beast on the verge of going on a rampage , barely calm as his eyes darted from enemy to enemy , thinking of a million ways to kill them .

But Rudra was a level?headed person , he knew his presence was key to holding this thin line . As he alone was equivalent of an army on the battlefield.

As Yume was on the ground near him , Rudra was in his zone of buffs. Making him stronger than he would be usually. However most of the Hazelgroove forces were under a strong debuff from the eye of Lucifer.

Rudra had no idea of how the situation was with Emperor Cervantez and Prince Aman , but judging by the explosions in the far away forest he assumed them to be embroiled in a bitter fight.

Rudra badly wanted to get rid off the massive eye towering over the battlefield , but that was not his job. He was given the job to protect Purplehaze city and hold the line of battle hence even if things looked bad , he could not abandon post. That's the first rule of military.?He needed to trust that the emperor would figure this out somehow.

He and the elites would do WHATEVER it took to complete the task they were given . Hence once Rudra felt comfortable in holding the current line , he slowly called for a push. He wanted to increase the effective range of control to 200 meters away from the wall , the perfect range for archers to strike and Archballistae to wreak havoc.

This task was extremely difficult , especially with the undead constantly causing problems for the defending forces . But Rudra knew the importance of creating order in the battlefield again , as the more he pushed into enemy lines , the more filter like he acted . Killing undead and demons alike , but getting the Hazelgroove forces to a safezone.

More and more people started to get the message and dropped back to help the Elites. Slowly and steadily Rudra was restoring order in the battlefield with the Elites leading the charge.

Now with increased backing from a focused Hazelgroove force , the Elites started to display their true worth. Shoulder to shoulder with first rate guilds and top players , the Elites killed more enemies than them every single minute clearly showing the distinction between mediocre and the best .

The true strength of the elites was not understood by the people of Hazelgroove while seeing it on televisions or in videos , however now fighting shoulder to shoulder they truly started to realize the disparity between gamers.

Only the supremely talented may call themselves Elite , as every Elite killed four times as many enemies in a single minute compared to a normal player. Compounded over an hour , and the kill count was incomparable.

The elites were slaughter machines , more technical in their fighting style , more disciplined and having better equipment , causing envy amongst the hearts of every player witnessing them. Everyone wanted to join the Elites , but the guild just would not recruit players on a mass scale.

However seeing Rudra fight , all heads had to bow , everyone had to come to a consensus that this guy was the number one player in the world right now. Killing 4 times as many opponents in a minute as an average Elite , he was an elite amongst elites.

The media guys covering the war , focussed on the guild master of the Elites slaying enemies , as the commentators around the world said " You are watching a master at work .... ".

No special skills , no flashy moves , yet he was unstoppable on the battlefield, fast , agile and incredibly powerful. If one had to describe Rudra in the war in one word , it would be ' inhuman '.

( Meanwhile , against Mazikeen )

Mazikeen had retreated her generals as she tied her loose hair into a bun and took a fight stance. Her eyes shined with a hellish red gleam , as disgust for the Hazelgroove bloodline was apparent in her face.

The?reason why Mazikeen had not fought Cervantez yet , was because she wanted to tire him out. She had long recieved a revelation from the dark lord Lucifer that he wanted to personally put an end to Cervantez . The first mortal to reach tier 4 in over 200 years , and he wanted to do it by borrowing the body of Aman .

Mazikeen was only stalling to wait for Aman to appear before she went all out , because her goal was not to defeat Cervantez or kill Aman. She only had to lead them close to the lord's eye and prepare Aman to be taken over as a vessel.

The power of darkness is very closely related to the power of death and decay , and Lucifer was very proficient in manipulating the undead. Hence he wanted to take over a body that was strong enough to bear the weight of his soul and be able to sustain his consciousness.

For this purpose he could not go below any tier 4 power. As it would be incapable of sustaining the weight of his soul.

But for Mazikeen who hated Aman and Cervantez soo much , even though she was immensely loyal to the dark lord she would not let them go without a trashing.
