Chapter 293 - One V One Fight (7)
Rudra still had a lot of cards hidden , he was deliberately holding back his true strength to win matches , and only revealing bits and pieces that he wanted to .
Some information about him was misleading , while some some gaps in his fighting style were left open deliberately , soo that when someone would target those gaps , they would fall right into Rudra's trap.
Up untill now , noone really had the luxury to study the opponents match tapes and create strategy , as everyone was busy fighting match after match , at most after winning a match in the waiting lobby , they could see a competitor fighting , however it all depended on luck and wether you had time to watch it before your own next match started.
However tommorow would be different , the winners of each group , will carefully see the tapes of all their opponents , study their moves and form strategies. That is when Rudra's plan would come to fruition , he wanted to show those holes in his fighting style , to gain a mental advantage over his opponents , whereas he wanted to keep a lot of his move set a surprise , hence the opponent would always be on the edge , guessing about what the hell was going on.
Rudra's final opponent in group A , was the one he wanted to face the least. The same guy from his previous life , who won this event , the Samoan BullDozer , ' UMAGA '. Everything from his appearance to his fighting style was barbaric. It was not a far cry to say that he was the perfect embodiment of the class barbarian .
He was a muscle-head through and through , but his fighting style was no joke , a natural when it came to brawling , his way of wielding his curved sword called ' Paneka ' was absurd and almost like MMA met swordwielding.
Rudra hated these kinds of opponents the most , he was not scared of loosing to UMAGA , however he was scared to show more cards than needed in this match .
What made UMAGA such a threatening player in barbarian class was his tier promotion , being a SSS tier promoted player twice , he had devastating class specific skills under his belt.
His first skill was ' Eternal Rage ' , which buffed all his stats by 70% for 3 minutes in combat. This was essentially the Barbarian version of Rudra's Golden ratio , however instead of a passive it was active , and instead of a permanent buff it was temporary . However it gave a 70% stat boost not the 50% of golden ratio , which meant that for a period of time , his stats would probably outclass Rudra's?, now this was very troubling.
His second class specific skill was ' Dance Of Death '. It was essentially a tool of mutual annihilation and exactly what made his playstyle dangerous. The skill could be activated when his HP fell below 10% , then on each and every attack of his , would cause 200% damage !
This skill was terrifying , if stacked with the first skill , even at 10% HP , the man was a walking dynamite. For each of his attacks would cause lethal damage to his opponents. Rudra had to be careful of the man for these.

Derek Ray : Alright ladies and gentlemen , this is the last four matches for today , the FINALS of the group stage . Each and every competitor who has made Is this far is the best of the best , however only those who progress even further will have a shot at winning a medal and cementing themselves as THE BEST! .
Lee Dixon : I couldn't agree more Derek , the semi finals were absolutely brilliant , however the competition hears up even more , as the last four matches of the day draw closer . First up from group A , we have the crowd favorite SHAKUNI taking on the Samoan BullDozer UMAGA! ,what are your thoughts on this Derek?
Derek Ray : Well Lee , to be honest both competitors are evenly matched. This is going to be a great fight , Shakuni is a refined fighter who uses his head in the fight whereas UMAGA is a brute and a brawler , if Shakuni manages to keep this fight civil , then it will be in his favour , however if UMAGA converts it into a brawl then ooofff , he will have a hard time.
Lee Dixon : I wonder what would be going on in their heads right now Derek. If you were Shakuni how would you make a game plan to tackle the Samoan BullDozer . How do you learn to tame a wild bull in a open field?
Derek Ray : well we will find out soon enough , the ring announcer is down in the field , I think it's time to call the champions.
