MMORPG : Rebirth Of The Strongest Guild Master

Chapter 581 The biggest test

Rudra was filled with emotions after loosing the elven sword to this trial . He loved and cherished that weapon to the point where he would not have replaced it with even a higher grade weapon as it just felt perfect in his hands.

However because of the stupid lightning strikes and the tier 4 promotion test he lost his reliable partner in war . Hence full of anger Rudra used the sun god's bracelet and used solar beam , his strongest move that he could take without being injured towards the 8th lightning strike as he shouted with anger

" FU** OFF ".

The thunderstrike was overwhelmed by solar beam as the solar beam went on to punch a hole through the clouds themselves as sunlight in form of a small circle momentarily shined on Rudra through the dense clouds within the plains of thunder as he defiantly glared at the heavens , expressing his pain at loosing his companion.

Rudra without the elven sword was left without both his swords and without his shield as he was essentially bare handed at the moment. Not only did this limit his offensive capabilities to basically nothing tangible , but also meant that the trials difficulty had monumentally increased for him , as except one charge of the solar beam that his sun god's bracelet could produce he had no other moves left in his arsenal that he could safely produce without crippling himself that could actually contend with the lightning strike.

Little did he know that he had actually already cleared the trial.

The criteria for an S rating was beating back 8 lightning strikes. While the criteria for SS was beating back 9 but for the SSS rating he needed to beat back 10!

Even if Rudra failed and died now , he would still not fail the test but manage to reach tier 4 , however without a SSS rating he would dissapoint Hades who he desperately wanted to impress.

Hence even though Rudra was unaware of all these conditions that were taking place without his knowledge , his own focus was purely on beating back as many lightning strikes as he needed to before either he died or the trial ended.

The lightning tribulation trail was one of the hardest trials for tier promotion , as unless one was a monstrous player like Rudra with offensive capabilities that were off the charts , one could simply not beat back the lightning strikes from the 5th one onwards when the power of the strikes started to exceed tier 3 limits into the domain of tier 4.

Even if someone did manage to beat one or two , nobody could go all the way till 8 without expending all their means or dying by the strikes hence failing the challenge.

The mental pressure of not knowing how many strikes to beat back also increased the difficulty by a huge margin as the psychological pressure of not knowing what to save and what to use made one use their overpowered attacks early on , while having nothing left towards the end.

The test was especially hard for defence based classes like tanks and priests , who usually had no choice but to take the church's tier promotion test and be satisfied with lower ratings , while was the most favourable for classes like mage , who usually had the best odds of clearing this challenge however rewards and difficulty were always proportional.

For players like Rudra with a knight class the difficulty was on the higher end , however the rewards after clearing the test were also very high as the rewards for clearing with an S rating or more yielded much better rewards than the same for mage class.

However none of that mattered to Rudra at the moment as when the ninth lightning strike manifested itself , Rudra used the last charge of solar beam to counter it.

Solar beam in of itself was a peak tier 4 move , however , Rudra did not know that the increase in lightning power from the 8 th to 9th strike was astronomical , as while solar beam punched a hole through the sky in the 8th strike it was barely an even match in the 9th , as two massive moves collided mid air causing a supernova type explosion!

BOOOOMMM!!

The winds created by the explosion were so strong that Rudra was barely able to keep his footing , however he had a strong feeling in his stomach , looking at the collision that solar beam might not be enough.

Hence not caring about holding his ground any longer Rudra unleashed one last darkness blast before being swept away by the wings for several meters as his eyes remained glued towards the end result of the collision.

To his horror the solar beam fell just a little short as the lightning strike managed to weakly pass through however it was instantly met with a darkness blast which barely managed to win by the thinnest of margins , giving Rudra the win against the ninth lightning strike.

However weapnonless and defenceless , Rudra now had nothing in his means to overturn the tide of the next attack as now even the sun god's bracelet was left without any power.

Rudra stood back up as he glared towards the heavens with defiance , although there was a moment's hesitation in his heart as he knew that should he be crippled again for 3 months after using the holy move that his body could not take , he would effectively be out of the war that was due in 36 days.

This was a huge gamble to be taken on his part , as without his presence on the battlefield the elites army would loose 70% of their morale right from the start however Rudra was reluctant to give up before trying out everything he had got.

Although a huge gamble that a rational man would never dare to take , Rudra cast Aside his hesitation at a moments notice as he prepared to unleash the divine move in his arsenal.

What was going to happen would happen , however Rudra was never giving up at a task without giving his 100% at it.

Divine light manifested itself around his body as he eyed the heavens in absolute fury.

He awaited the tenth lightning strike!
