Chapter 775: Overwhelming Power
Rudra found it increasingly hard to keep the demon commander Vigo contained as while his mana was depleting rapidly , the enemy seemed to keep up the attacking intensity as if it did not bother him at all .
Rudra knew that the only way to end this fight fast was for him to somehow restrain the damn demon and use ' Holy Lance ' to pierce his heart.
However not sure of how to approach this problem , Rudra used ' Future sight ' as he started to visualise the attack pattern.
**** ( Continuation point )
Rudra charged at Vigo as he used ' stormbringer ' to unleash a deadly bolt of lightning on the demon.
Vigo saw it coming and sidestepped the attack as he countered with a water cannon of his own which missed Rudra due to Rudra's image being an illusion.
Rudra had used the ' Shadow doppleganger ' move right when he used the stormbringer attack to use the brief timespan to replace his own body by a double as he himself used blink to teleport above the demon.
When Vigo saw that the doppleganger was a fake he immediately looked around for Rudra but it was already too late as Rudra had started preparing the holy lance right above his head as he awaited the slimmest of chances to pounce .
The heavens seemed to rumble over Rudra's head as the holy power disrupted the natural cloud pattern and structure of the normal day sky as it became convoluted and concentric as if running away from divine mana after Rudra starting to prepare the holy lance.
However when Rudra finally launched the attack onto the demon , while it travelled even faster than what Rudra remembered it to go when he was tier 4 , but even then it did not pierce the demon's chest as expected as to his sheer horror the demons body too disintegrated after coming into contact with the holy lance as it turned out to be water .
( Cohntinuation point over )
Rudra's future sight ended and the frown was apparent on the leader of elites face regarding his future vision. Even with the knowledge of the immediate future Rudra could not figure out as to how to kill the demon Vigo as all he could do now was to take a leap of faith and gamble.
Rudra followed the initial sequence of scheming the demon in perfect sync with the future sight as he used stormbringer and shadow doppleganger to cast a distraction.
It was then that Rudra changed his line of action as by using ' Time dilation ' Rudra slowed the flow of time around himself by ten times the normal rate and focused on finding the real body of the demon from the doppleganger.
While his normal vision failed, his god's eyes ability did not fail him at all as apart from his water doppleganger, Rudra was able to locate his real physical body which was shockingly 25 meters behind Rudra preparing its own attack spell.
The moment Rudra located the demons real body he continued to prepare the holy lance as if he was going to hit the water doppleganger and not the real body and only at the very last possible second did Rudra twist his body and aim at the real body of the demon , completely shocking it.
The faking technique that the demon Vigo had used to substitute his real body with a water clone was a tier 5 ranked technique that gauranteed no detection from any enemy sight.
The move was virtually untraceable with the only existance to ever see through the illusion being the great demon Lucifer himself . Hence when Rudra did find his real body out , Vigo was completely dumbfounded as he could not react in time to prevent the spear from piercing his body.
SPLAT!
The spear made of divine mana narrowly missed his heart as he had moved a little from his initial position despite the shock , however it still poked a hole through his chest as the demon Vigo became severely injured loosing 70% of its net HP due to the attack.
-32,456,544 CRITICAL HIT!
A damage hit counter flashed before Rudra's eyes as without heeding the stats displayed on it Rudra only focused on finishing the demon when he was down as he engaged in close-combat at unbelievable speed under the influence of the time dilation skill.

( Meanwhile Max )
Max witnessed the exhilarating battle between the tier 4 demon and the paladin Matthias Schmidt as he saw Matthias strategically attacking the demons legs in the fight.
Matthias asked mid-fight " Year two , subject : General theory of fighting monsters , what is the technique to fight larger opponents max? "
Max who was watching the battle in rapt attention said " there are three techniques to fight larger opponents
1) cripple their legs to shrink them down to size , a larger body means a larger target and once such large creatures lose mobility in their legs they become easy prey.
2) If the enemy is large but slow then use agility to circumvent its attacks and hit it's weak spots.
3) use restraining techniques on the enemy to land clean shots while mentaining large distances and focusing on mid-range battle for defense ".
Matthias heard the answer but said nothing for a few seconds as he breathed heavily from fighting the demon at high intensity.
After a while he said " For a demon who is quick and agile , technique two is not viable whereas for me as a warrior who is a paladin there is no usable restraining move in my arsenal to use which leaves me with only method one to use ... Hence let's chop of his legs ".
Saying so Matthias upped the tempo of his attacks as he used a series of sword attacks that used the holy element as its base and managed to land lots of cuts on the demons legs as after a point they gave out under the constant attacks and after one fell swoop Matthias chopped both of them clean off.
THUD!
The demons legless and tired body hit the ground as Matthias who was heavily panting stomped on his head .
Looking at max he said " And that's how you defeat a demon " as he plunged his glaive through his defeated opponents neck , killing him effectively.
Max was thoroughly enlightened to witness this battle between two tier 4 existances in close range as he was extremely thankful to Matthias for his guidance.
Although after defeating the enemy without taking a single second to breathe the man ran off trying to find the next opponent to face , as he did not want to idle around in an active war , for Max the man was a hero hence he bowed for a good one minute towards him in the direction he had left.
Although Max was an elite academy passout he was not thinking critically enough according to his teachings while fighting an opponent which was why his meeting with Matthias had opened his horizons.
He had actually learnt the manual to fight every single species of every single build type back at the elite academy and now the only thing that he needed to do was to apply the knowledge in the real world to shine above an average warrior.
It was at this moment that it hit Max that the reason why the elite legion was miles better than the other four legions combined was because Rudra had trained and moulded his guild into a breed of warriors that were not only smart and powerful but also equipped with the best synergy and battle tactics.
It was a combination of all this factors which was the driving force behind the elites domestic success and the reason why the True Elites was hailed as the number one guild in the world.
Being an elite was more than just being a gamer , there were countless professional players who might even be more skilled than an elite in one vs one fighting however did not have the qualification to call themselves an elite as the elite was not just a tag for a professional gamer but an way of life!
What Rudra had created in his guild was basically creating a way of life for his community as the elites lived together, played together , trained together and had the same technical mindset.
90% of the lives of the elites were basically simmilar with similar training schedules hence it was natural for such a community to have synergy and the strength of one individual multiplying manyfold when combined into a unit.
In other words , the elites were truly a guild that lived and breathed the slogan
' One for all , all for one , go elites go '.
With a big smile on his face , Max rushed into the winning battle as even he realised that this fight for the city was as good as won with nearly 80% of the streets now flooded by the army of death.
