Rudra saw a few demons trying to hobble their way into Purplehaze city through the part of the wall where there was a giant hole and at that moment he snapped.
Rudra used darkness absorb on one of the demon , regaining his HP while mercilessly draining the demon of his remaining one. While used darkness bind on the other 3 and killed them by slicing them in half.
Rudra had decided at that very moment , that he would defend his city till the VERY end , till there was a single building standing and a single Npc to protect behind the wall , he would fight , none of the demons were getting past him even with the wall broken.
The sentiment inside the battlefield Completely changed once the massive metiorite crashed , both demons and humans lost a large chunk of their armies and not many were in the mood to fight anymore , as hundereds of thousands abandoned the battlefield.
However the abandonees on the human side were wayy more than on the demon side , as the demon's had no place to hide should they go back into hell as a deserter .
Although NPC soldiers also showed discipline , the same could not be said for the player force. Guilds abandoned the battlefield by the hundereds , as hardly any players chose to carry out their duties. They were done with the war , their will shattered alongside the massive metiorite.
The archers who were on the ground and still alive from the elven kingdom , were a well trained and disciplined army and they shook the incident off and started to horizontally shoot arrows.
The elites too got back up one by one , and when they saw their guild leader defend the biggest hole in the wall alone against a swarm of demons , they too felt that irrespective of the circumstances ... The war was not yet over and the job was not yet done.
Robin rallied his troops to defend the parts of the wall that had broken down , while the elites formed tight clusters around them . Even in this situation where there were 7 parts of the wall where the wall had caved , the elites chose to defend it .
Karna took one hole , Neatwit took another. Medivh covered 3 and Robin took over one . The fight from here on out was going to be incredibly difficult , however Rudra wanted to fight to the end . NO ! He NEEDED to fight to the end , as monetary loss could be recouped , however territorial loss was terrifying. Even in flames this city was his city. If he lost it , the guild would no longer have a place to call home.
Probably the only person who was affected more than Rudra was cerventez , who was seething in rage . Not at the circumstance , but his inability to save his people. Although rage consumed his mind , his body still refused to move as the backlash of using the move rendered him unable to move as he had overstrained his body.
In a 3 meter crater in the ground , that was created by him falling from great height , he could only stare at the sky , as atleast for the moment he needed to take sometime to get his body moving again.

( Meanwhile Mazikeen )
Even at 2 % HP Mazikeen was not someone that Aman could trifle with . However with her using her ultimate spell , she too was unable to perform proper movement , barely able to stand on her own two feet.
The situation could not be any better for Aman , who leisurely walked towards Mazikeen , preparing the forbidden spell to absorb her powers.
Aman used darkness bind , and completely constricted Mazikeen's movement. If Mazikeen was at even 10% of her strength , she could have shook these vines off as if they were nothing . But currently she was soo weak that she could do nothing but be constricted.
Aman came in extremely close to Mazikeen , and ran his hands through her hair . Putting one strand of hair that was blocking her face back behind her ear as he pulled her chin up to meet his gaze.
Looking into her eyes , Aman plunged his hand inside her gut. As he started the process of making her strength her own.
Aman's levels skyrocketed , as he continued to absorb Mazikeen's powers , what would have taken him decades was now happening within minutes as he used Mazikeen as a stepping stone to him rising in power.
Mazikeen wailed in pain and anguish , as for every level that Aman gained , she lost two .... As slowly she dropped a tier ! The moment her level hit below 240 , the strength in her body went limp , as she was almost an undead.
Now Aman being the stronger one of the two , not only did not even provide his prey the mercy to die , but chose to convert her into his puppet. However just before Mazikeen's consciousness faded , she played her last card , as she mumbled " You will never be able to touch Lucifer.... "
A taunt , and a smug grin was all Mazikeen could muster before her consciousness was wiped out by Aman and she was turned into a necromancers puppet.
Although Aman could not break past into tier 5 by absorbing Mazikeen's power , he was nearly 30% stronger than he was before. Which was a huge gain for him.
Death was abundant inside the battlefield .... It was the perfect time for a necromancers to shine!
Aman started to work his way as the dead would rise again wherever he passed , reviving hundereds of thousands .... As he expanded his forces.
Since he knew that he could only control a few , he made sure to make the weaker ones mindless idiots who only knew how to kill , be it their own kind or the enemy.
The banished prince finally started to show his real colors, however Mazikeen's last words kept reverberating in his brain .... And hence he decided to destroy the ugly eye of Lucifer before getting his revenge on Purplehaze city!
