Chapter 80: Seriously? (1/2)
When the Driad finally started to take action , the intensity of the game increased greatly , the bullet seeds she was shooting , one had absolutely no chance to react in time to dodge normally , it was like a projectile that had to be faced head on , if you tried to avoid it , it will definitely hit you before you can even lift two feet.
Rudra regretted not having a suitable shield at this point , as a knight the pride of his battle prowess should be his shield and defense , but being the brawler he was , he preffered to use double handed sword wielding instead.
Rudra summoned his other sword Windcutter at this moment , and used windslash multiple times to stop the flurry of vines overwhelming his progress.
As Rudra glanced back , the red laser line was slowly moving forward and was about 5 meters away from Rudra , one it hit his position , the challenge would be considered a failure.
Rudra decided to use darkness bind!
He bound the dryad for 3 seconds , just as windcutter created an opening , enlarging excalibur to a one meter length , he quickly sprung forward to gain some ground
22 ! .....23 ! .....24 !.....25 ! Just as Rudra reached the 25 m mark the dryad snapped free and shot the bullets at a 5m Range , it was almost like seeing flashes of lightning , as there was barely enough time to block .
But to his joy , there were no more annoying vines. There was only the dryad and a field full of plant traps , he could not jump around anymore , as everywhere he would step. Would result in him being caught , the very natrow path leading to the bell was like facing doom , as the shots would be incoming in a straight line at incredible speeds.
The red line started to creep closer and closer with only 2m left till Rudra's position.
The audience watched with bated breaths , this challenge is really to cruel .... The one's optimistic about Rudra clearing the challenge now felt despirited , it truly looked impossible.
Rudra too felt the situation to be quite grim , he was aldready doing his absolute best to try deflect the incoming barrage of bullets , he had absolutely no room to do anything more.
Then a gap came , there was a delay of about 1.5 secs when the dryad could not keep up her attacks. Then Rudra used his newly acquired special skill Earthquake
Boom , a loud tremor was heard as the Earth below him shattered , with large chunks of earth turning upside down and the ground cracking , there was space to get his footing finally.
Rudra sprung into action , the red elimination line about 2 inches away from him .
27 !.... 28 ....
To his delight the shockwave had shook the dryad up and she needed a brief moment to readjust her aim at Rudra .
Rudra took the chance and instead of trying to stop and handle the barrage of bullets again , he put all his strength in his right leg and leapt towards the bell , hanging beside the Dryad.
Gong... The bell sound hit , but even Rudra was hit by the bullet.
The timing was soo close , noone could tell what happened clearly , was he hit first ? Or did he clear it?
Then the entire gaming arena lit up , as fireworks burst forward.
DING : BELL CHALLENGE CLEARED AT NIGHTMARE DIFFICULTY. CONGRATULATIONS !!!!
” WHOAAA , SOMEONE CLEARED THE NIGHTMARE MODE ”.
