Rudra looked towards the time limit left on the quest. He had a little more than 2 hours to rescue the son of archangel sariel. This was good news , it meant that the ceremony should last a bit longer.
Any plan that involved attacking the enemies was suicide. Any confrontation with the tier 3 paladin and he was surely dead. Rudra needed an airtight plan , a deceptive one .
Rudra calmly observed the structure of the room he was in and came to a conclusion that there were three key architectural spots that supported the ceiling , take all three down and the roof shall collapse.
Taking down the roof could give him a crutial opening , however it was not enough .
Rudra thought about all the tools in his disposal , to think of anything that could help him create a plan. He looked at everything that ge possesed and found a single bottle of appearance alteration potion in his inventory that Kalash had given him for sampling.
Rudra blessed Fatty Kalash in his heart , his friend was a lifesaver in crutial situations there was no doubt about that ! Rudra quietly crept back out of the balcony and went back down to the ambush spot.
From the corpse of Gary , Rudra took a single hair and added it to the appearance alteration potion. Rudra transformed into Gary as his height increased and he grew a beard. Rudra slowly transformed into the burly looking big guy Gary.
Rudra felt odd in the new body , the feeling made his control over his body weaker , Rudra quickly understood that the appearance alteration potion was a dual edged sword , his combat proficiency had drastically dropped in this new body as his mind was not used to the change in body structure and movement.
Rudra summoned the knight Durahal and covered the guy in the best shining armour from one of the dead guys in the hall. Rudra handed Durahal a bloody sword and instructed him to retreat, run and parry all incoming forces next.
Rudra disguised as Gary inflicted self damage and Ran towards the balcony. Rudra screamed and seemed to dodge attacks as he stumbled down from the blacony floor towards the ground.
THUD! A loud sound interrupted the incantations as everyone turned heads to look towards Rudra.
Rudra in the best acting he had done in his life stuttered as he said " They .... They .... Killed ... Everyone ! ".
He said so and pretended to faint.
Everyone looked towards the gallery as a figure wearing an armour could be seen vaguely through the gallery bars .
Some of the tier 2 mages left their incantation spot and instantly chased after Durahal. Rudra knew that the opening he created would last a maximum of 3 minutes before Durahal is defeated.
The tier 3 paladin frowned , the party in charge of guarding the teleportation portal seemed to have been completely routed. This meant that the ceremony could no longer be conducted in peace.
The paladin stared towards the balcony , deciding his plan of action , he was looking for any intel on the intruding organization. The guy took one step away from the son of Archangel sariel .. then a second one , then a third .
Rudra pretending to be unconscious just prayed for that guy to just move a little bit more , and his plan would work.
The fourth and fifth step followed.
Rudra sprung to his feet and tossed three waterbombs to the three crutial locations needed to collapse the roof and one frost bomb at the feet of the tier three paladin.
The paladin was taken by surprise as his feet were suddenly trapped by a ice layer.
BOOM! , BOOM , BOOM!
The roof collapsed as large chunks of rock started to fall , one headed right for the trapped paladin , he raised his hand and casted a spell that completely annihilated the rock.
But others were not soo lucky , 50 tribesmen and 13 tier 2 priests were buried under the rubble . However there were two figures missing from the room , and they were Rudra and the son of archangel sariel.
The paladin looked Furious as he broke free of the ice confinement , he dashed towards east , seemingly in pursuit of someone.
Rudra had used everything in his arsenal to save the son of archangel sariel , when he released the bombs , he had aldeady started dashing towards the guys bound place.
When the bombs exploded , he had aldready cut the guys confines .
When the debris started to fall , he aldready had the chalice and the son of Archangel Sariel tightly gripped in the two hands as he used his blink skill to teleport inside the balcony.
All of this he achieved at under 3 seconds! It was heaven defying speed and precision.
Even though his escape and the missions success were not yet a gaurantee , his skill to reach this point was commendable. 99% challengers would have failed. On one hand his tools like bombs and his Lich's ring played a huge role in his success , but one should not mistake it as luck .
He would be lucky to obtain the items , however using them still needed personal skills , had Rudra not had the bombs , could he still complete the quest?
The answer is yes he could , if he did not have the bombs he would just have figured out a plan that did not need them .
Had he not have the blink skill , he would not have chosen to collapse the cieling. Everything was calculated and every execution was flawless .
Even if the AI wanted to find faults with Rudra's performance , she could not find any , his performance was genuine skill , there were no rules breaked.
The employees of Cuber corporation watching on had became fans at this point as they sincerely cheered Rudra on. This was probably one of the most entertaining and exhilarating things they had seen in a long long time.
