Chapter 560 Ancient ruins (4)
[ Evil controller necklace ] ( Semi - Legendary ) : Control a group of 50 evil ghosts as your loyal subordinates.
An extremely useful treasure was discovered by the elites , as rewards and danger went hand in hand inside the ancient ruins .
Although practical use was limited , since in the surface world , sunlight was abundant , if one could somehow achieve complete darkness then this artifact could undoubtedly become an overpowered weapon.
With no physical and elemental attacks being able to damage these creatures they could easily dismantle 10 soldiers every second as a group , and unleashed on the battlefield their effect could become even more deadly.
However even then it was not an item for Rudra , as Rudra already had a necklace equipped , the item was to go to someone else.
Since Rudra was the leader , the others decided to let Rudra split the loot and Rudra felt that of everyone Time needed this skill the most.
Yume could not use weapons and could only defend himself using his martial arts , hence with this his combat prowess would jump up a notch , hence the item was allocated to him.
Noone had a problem with this as although everyone coveted a semi legendary accessory , they knew that Yume with his large Buff for allies did a lot for the guild and deserved this item.
Hence with the item distribution settled , the group moved on with the exploration.
The further they walked inside the canal the wider it became untill after one point it felt as if the walls had dissapeared completely and they were in a dried up ocean itself.
This made Rudra stop the team from moving forward , as ever since the ground became wavy and Sandy , Rudra realized that something was off.
Using his imagination Rudra figured out the whole scenario , of how this was a river that they were walking on , that met with a ocean or an extremely large lake once upon a time.
This discovery came both as a releif to him as well as a shock as the exploration of the ruins was becoming more and more unpredictable after every passing minute as Rudra realized that roaming endlessly without a map in these ruins was going to lead them to nothing.
Using general knowledge Rudra drew up a general idea of the terrain , as he imagined a large river meeting a large ocean body somewhere around this place.
Logic dictated that such a place should exactly be the location of a budding port and nearby areas should definitely show signs of civilization.
This assumption was based on the fact that the river contained many merchant and pirate ships sunken inside , which meant that there must be a large port town that the ancients used for trade nearby.
Hence Rudra decided to stop walking in the straight direction and deciding to find the end of the river wall and climb out of the riverbed after that point.
This was an extremely wise choice by Rudra , as common sense helped him wonders this time since the exploration party that came to the ruins in the past timeline wasted 10 days in the dried up ocean before they realized the error of their ways.
However the elites were able to avoid that mistake early due to a bit of common sense by Rudra.
Hence the group climbed out of the river bed and indeed just as Rudra suspected , they saw signs of an abandoned city straight away!
The ruins were enormous , spanning atleast half the size of Purplehaze city , as Rudra estimated atleast 15 million people living in this city at some point of time.
While most houses were eroded to a pile of two- four bricks , there were some special structures that stood out clearly , that remained fairly intact even after thousands of years had passed.
Of all the notable structures , the biggest and the most noticeable was the one at the heart of the city , which was massive in size.
While it wasn't clear as to what dangers awaited the group in the city , one thing was for sure and that was that the real exploration started now. This was the place that the group had came here for and the rewards gained from this place would decide the fate of the elites in the upcoming war.
" Alright boys , this is what we need to explore , get your Dora boots on and let's find all the treasures we need ! ". Neatwit said in a happy tone as the others gave him the look.
Especially karna who found Neatwits immaturity to be extremely amusing as he said " Seriously , Dora the explorer? What are you five? ".
Neatwit blushed red at the comment as the group bursted into laughter , whereas yua facepalmed herself for getting such a stupid boyfriend.
Nonetheless this refreshed the spirits of the group as they headed into the ruined city , having decided to explore one major building at a time as they went towards the central structure.
Rudra's plan was simple , break into groups of two and explore one structure at a time all across the city gaining maximum loot .
Shoot flare if in trouble and regroup if everything goes well outside the large central structure in 1 days time.
With this instruction by Rudra , the group divided into pairs of two and started exploring the city by themselves.
Jhonny was with Yume
Rudra was with Naomi
Karna was with Skyla
Neatwit with Yua and
SMG with Bo

( Meanwhile Dronacharya )
His anxiety fuelling his fears after Rudra suddenly gained 14 levels dronacharya decided to purchase military equipment from a super guild at 5 times the market rate in an anonymous transaction.
Dronacharya bought 2 mortars that could shoot 3 massive balls at once , and 14 cannons powerful enough to blow a hole through reinforced concrete.
The entire transaction cost him a whopping 1.4 trillion dollars which made him liquidate everything that he held dear , including his entire stake in the Elites stock as he became as broke as just another commoner.
With this he was all in for this fight , as he did not have more than 6 million dollars left as balance .
If things did not work out well for him , this would be it. However to make victory a certainty he had given his 100% .
Unfortunately he had no idea , that the treasure that he so badly wanted was already within a 30 killometer radius of Rudra's current location.
