Chapter 818 A Setback
Rudra gasped as he sat up sweating , both his fists were balled and he was ready to strike the first thing that moved around him reflexively.
Rudra's sudden movement startled the healers in the infirmary as one priest dropped the medical tray full of potions while another one sat on the floor with her hands covering her face as if defending herself from Rudra's attacks.
" Calm down first commander , you are back at the camp " Omar's voice entered Rudra's ears as Rudra looked to his left to see Omar on the bed in the infirmary beside him , his left arm and abdomen soaked in blood and covered in bandages.
A flashback of the seconds before he was knocked out replayed in Rudra's mind as he recalled Lucifer's dark attack and how he was utterly incapable of defending himself against it.
" What happened" Rudra asked , his voice hoarse as if all the mucus inside his throat had been burnt away and only sore throat muscles were left behind.
Omar sipped some herbal medicine with his left hand as he said " After you were knocked out by Lucifer, he tried to kill u on 7 seperate occassions in between our fight. Seemingly irritated by the fact that you had survived the attack on 3% HP eventhough you were knocked out.
His dragon would have finished you off , but i killed the dragon with a burst of Nirvana flame , the weakling was simply no match for my power. However attacking the dragon meant exposing myself to Lucifer's attack which meant that an attack landed on my abdomen which is why the bandages on there.
The injury on my arm is because i brute forced my way out of Lucifer's barrier from the inside while carrying you out. The damn barrier was too powerful and crushed my arm in the attempt to pry it open.
The barrier is impregnable from the outside and extremely hard to open from the inside , however once the opening was made , Hades rushed in alongside the other tier 5 commanders and Lucifer was forced to retreat.
The two of us were rushed to infirmary and it seems i will make a full recovery in 45 days while you will need a full 60 ".
Rudra listened to the whole story carefully and then expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Omar.
" Thankyou so much noble beast king , i am indebted to you ". Rudra said in all earnestly
However Omar studied Rudra and then sighed as he said " Yes you should be indebted to me , however I did not save you out of the goodness of my heart .
Although your combat abilities are average at best your mind is a powerful asset. The army of death cannot afford to lose you ".
Rudra said nothing but he understood the weight behind those words. He was only saved because he was in indespensible asset , if it were anyone else Omar would not have gone to such lengths to save them , or take the risk of getting injured.
At this moment Hades Walked into the infirmary and surrounding him was his usual dark aura.
The moment Rudra saw that darkness he started to feel uncomfortable as he was reminded of the attack Lucifer had used on him earlier as his pupils constricted and his heart rate started to bust Through the roof.
Rudra could not look at Hades 's visage , he was suffering from psychological trauma and had developed an unconscious fear of darkness.
" How are you feeling ? " Hades asked Rudra in a soft tone .
Not daring to look at Hades Rudra replied " I'm fine , i will be ready to come back in action tommorow".
Hades looked at Omar and the two had a silent conversation with their eyes and then the god looked at Rudra once more and said " It's not your job to kill the devil , it's MINE . The beast king has grievances of his own and so the two of us together will take Lucifer down , however you are not ready to face the devil my pope , the sooner you understand it the better.
The miracles you produced day in and day out blurred my vision of reality a little as i thought maybe you can hang-on with the god's while being at tier 5 , but today was a humble reminder that the gap between you and the devil is too large to be bridged and only death awaits you should you confront him".
Omar nodded and continued" You are a liability in a fight at that level and not an asset. Although through some miracle you were able to convince me outside the beast temple that you had what it took to fight on our level , the lack of divine power in your body is a big problem , which makes you powerless against divinity based attacks like the one Lucifer used on you ".
Rudra wanted to protest however he could not be rude to the god's hence he carefully selected his words and said " My lords , very respectfully i need to request you to reconsider. I agree that in this fight i was an utter failure however defeating the devil is my personal vendetta too .
Please donot take away from me my right to the few drops of blood i can draw with my grim reaper off his body ".
Hades violently shook his head as he said " Read him his medical report , priest Sasha ".
The priest who was initially sprawled on the floor opened a sheet of paper and started to read " first commander shakuni suffered from severe mana pathways blockages when he arrived . His muscles had undergone muscle deterioration and his blood had sever infection.
His body temperature was clocked at a high 107°C and he had violent seizures and muscle spasms . It was only after a high dose of essense of mana was administered in his body that his tier 5 body was able to cycle mana at 40% capacity and the danger of permanently blocked mana pathways was averted.
The body is currently in a weakened state and will take nearly 60 days of regular medication to clear the pathways and restore muscle strength.
The amount of dosag- "
" That's enough priest " Hades interrupted, as he observed the change in Rudra's expression
Rudra himself opened his status bar only to find out the extent of damage on his body was beyond extensive.

Only after seeing the status bar did Rudra realise how close of a call it had really been in the fight against Lucifer. If he had been at the same level as the start of the day then he would have died.
If Lucifer's attack was a little bit stronger he would have died.
If Lucifer's dragon or Lucifer were able to get to him after the attack he would be dead.
If Omar was not with him he would be dead.
All in all he was extremely lucky to be alive right now , it was only because he had killed countless tier 4 generals and two strong tier 5 opponents that he had levelled up enough to survive at a slim 3% HP against Lucifer's attack , otherwise it would have been a complete gameover for Rudra , as his career in Omega would come to an end with his second death inside hell.
Today's matters were to be taken extremely seriously , and Rudra had a big decision to make regarding the future.
