Chapter 949 A WIN-WIN deal
Over the next few days, Enel and Junfred helped Rudra train in the use of Karma.
Rudra was a quick learner and after about a few days of explanation and some demonstration he quickly picked up the basics of using Karma and understood its premise.
It was an entirely different type of force, which embodied a completely different quality from divine essence and it was at least ten thousand times stronger than its counterpart.
To learn how to use it, Rudra had to tap into his solid soul core and use the strength of the core to refine his karmic value into karmic essence.
It was a tedious and strenuous process that made Rudra, even in his non physical body form, feel extremely warm inside his chest as he felt as if his upper torso was ablaze and could melt off any second.
With a distinct dual celestial core in his body, his refining speed and the end product that he refined was far better in quality than what Junfred or Enel could produce as using a simple fireball spell that was powered by karmic essence, Rudra was able to create a literal sun which burnt as bright.
As he dispersed the spell, the effects of using such supreme power took hold as he lost close to 15% of his net HP because of its backlash.
He felt the warmth in his chest disappear and his body turned incredibly sluggish. Which made him realise the true nature of Karma and its side-effects.
Karmic essence was definitely like a power drug, however, using its power was not something that the body's of celestials could endure.
It was ridiculous to think that there was a force so strong that even the body of a celestial which was nearly indestructible could not handle it, however, such was the reality behind karmic essence.
Just using the most basic spell such as fireball turned it into a miniature sun when fuelled by karmic essence, however, the cost of that power was HP loss.
The strength it provided was almost intoxicating, but the string that came attached to the power was too steep.
" What happens if I use one of my truly supreme attacks powered by karmic essence?" Rudra asked Enel and Junfred as the duo looked at each other and smiled.
lightsn?v?l " That's what we call a suicidal attack. If you try to use a tier8 attack powered by divine essence, you will die for sure and the perfect warrior will lose anywhere between 2-20% of his HP.
However, never has anyone inflicted damage upon him that was higher than 20% as even after our best attempts, that bastard is barely injured" Junfred replied as Rudra finally understood the whole picture.
Karmic essence was a cheat that was provided to the celestials of a universe to help them overcome the disadvantage they faced when fighting the perfect warrior, however, even then the process of defeating him was not going to be easy.
" Oh look, your brother is about to complete his tier promotion, this should be fun!
All of us will be allowed to pass down a move to him if we want to-" Enel suddenly said as he drew the attention of Junfred and Rudra towards Max who was consolidating the final drops of his divine essence.
" Shit-" Rudra cursed, as he did not realise how 14 days passed in the blink of an eye within the celestial realm.
He had been too focused on learning the secrets of the celestial realm that he had been unable to engage in his first bout against the perfect warrior to understand his strengths and weaknesses firsthand.
Now that Max was being promoted, Rudra did have an idea about what sort of skill he wished to pass down to Max, however, he could not be entirely sure if it was the correct choice to make, since he had not verified his theory by fighting the perfect warrior.
" Hmm, do I get a say in what skills you guys should pass down to my brother?" Rudra inquired as he wanted to make the most of this newfound friendship with Enel and Junfred and help Max out as much as possible.
" That depends…" Junfred replied carefully as he gave Rudra a bright smile.
Rudra raised an eyebrow as the two celestial's looked at one another and nodded in a confident smile.
" That depends on whether or not you will ally with us and strategize for us to beat the perfect warrior.
Although any one of us beating the perfect warrior will be beneficial for all of us, the one who will strike the final nail on his coffin will be the one who shall gain the most.
Just like a party raid however, rewards will be distributed as per contribution and even if you helped strategize the raid or lent items, there will be a reward for it as well.
While it's our fate to face the perfect warrior alone, if you use us to probe his weaknesses and help us gain merit in his eventual defeat, then we are willing to trust your strategizing skills and give you the mantle" Enel said as Rudra thought about their request.
It was true that despite alliances, in the end there could be only one who defeated the perfect warrior in a one vs one battle and if the Perfect Warrior was as formidable as Rudra made him to be, that individual was most likely going to be Max.
If the merit system is really as these celestial's said that it was then Rudra would gain a portion of the rewards for coming up with the strategy, however, involving even more people would mean that his contribution pool would come down lower.
Apparently such was the price of the cooperation of a celestial and Rudra was willing to pay it to have a look into the skill-sets of these god's and pass down the skill that matters the most from their pool to Max.
