Chapter 722 The true might of a tier 5

Mahrez strated to gather wind energy from around him as Rudra closed the gap on him.

Rudra was observant about how Mahrez was sucking in mana inside his body and hence in a way preparing for a tier 5 attack.

He had no doubt in his mind that he needed to attack Mahrez at this second to prevent him from unleashing that move.

He knew that Mahrez was not a dumb opponent who would activate the tier 5 move if there was a chance of it failing mid-way , and hence he was sure that there was some scheme that the demon had planned for him , however he was not sure as to what?

Even though he had no idea as to what Mahrez was planning, he had no option but to charge knowing full well that he might be walking into a trap.

This was because if he did not do something fast then Mahrez would get enough time to launch his tier 5 attack and that would be a disastrous situation.

To throw his opponent off , mid-way through his sprint he used blink to instantly teleport behind him and take him by surprise.

Rudra thought that by seeing him run towards his direction, Mahrez would make a rough estimate as to how long Rudra would take to arrive and prepare accordingly, hence by suddenly teleporting he could catch him off-guard.

However this was just wishful thinking on Rudra's part , as while he did catch Mahrez off-guard as he used his grim reaper to slash his neck , the sword passed through Mahrez's body as if it was air without making any contact.

" WHAT? " Rudra exclaimed as he felt a strong pressure of mana above his head.

The body that Rudra attacked faded into the wind revealing that it was a fake. It was Mahrez's secret technique of wind substitution as his real body was 500 feet in the air.

Mahrez shouted " PEAK MOVE : WIND PALM SUPPRESSION"

As Rudra looked up , he was horrified by the scene to see a wind palm as big as the entire inner city pressing down with incredible force.

Although the palm was descending slowly , Rudra could feel the air pressure around him changing as the palm was not only descending with strength but was also compressing the air between itself and the ground. At this rate it was only a matter of seconds before the air combusted into flames.

If such a scenario happened and Rudra was unable to stop the palm from descending, then the inner city , including the palace , the two churches , the elites headquarters could be considered as good as gone alongside hundereds of thousands of Elite and NPC lives.

The house that Rudra had built through careful crafting, the impregnable inner city inside whom no previous enemy was able to raise their heads high , was now under a threat of extermination.

What was Shakuni going to do?

( Meanwhile Max)

Max felt lonely sitting at the dinner table alone while watching the news.

It was the eve of his birthday , the day after which when he could finally enter Omega and become a player.

It was the single day that he had dreamt of time and time again, as he aspired to join the true elites and become a professional player just like his elder brother, however everything changed since the universal expansion was announced.

Omega was no longer Max's goal as it was only a tutorial. He still respected and loved his brother but everyday that he woke up, he realised that his brother had years upon years of headstart to him in the game and that no matter how fast he ran now , he was never going to catch-upto him within the timeframe that he had to the first awakening.

He understood that there was a crisis ongoing inside Purplehaze city which was keeping his brother occupied , while his sister in law was already in bed to take care of her health , but he could not help but feel a little sad at this situation and think about his dead parents.

Usually they would be sitting with him here , talking about how just yesterday he was a baby , as mama rajput did dishes and papa Rajput freaked out about the new threat to Rudra's empire.

At the time he did not cherish these moment enough as he could not wait to be at the other end of the tv and be the one inside about whom papa Rajput was freaking out about . But now as he realised that he was never going to see his father break a sweat about anything , he finally understood that the goal he was actually chasing for was the love and admiration of his friends and family , and not the glory of killing demons itself.

What he wanted was the little things. Things like the praise of his brother , the worry of his mother and the love of his father.

However none of that seemed possible anymore and it left a huge void in the heart of little max.

He had already grown cold to his friends as training became his only objective and childish things were no longer his concern, while he was slowly turning cold to his family as well.

Smashing a plate onto the wall , Max stood up from the dinner table as a tear escaped his eye. It was going to be his birthday soon and as things looked to be his brother was not going to make it once more.

The worse thing was that he understood that his brother could not make it due to genuine reasons and hence he had nowhere to vent his anger on.

Hence in his anger he did what any teenage boy would do , which was to start flirting with the girl he was ignoring for months now, to try fill the void left in his heart by his dead family.
