Chapter 245: Prison escape event (1/2)

Rudra continued to dominate the one v one fights , he had one 63 matches in a row , with none going over 1 minute. And without loosing a single point in HP.

He had an absolutely stellar performance soo far , and the officials in the bunker were speachless at the talent of the man. He went onto the top 8 without losing a single point in HP.

They had goosebumps watching Rudra's performance , although all 7 others were also great fighters , none was as stellar as Rudra , they could predict that even in the top 8 , he would not face much difficulty.

If there was anyone who could rival Rudra in the top 8 , it was Jin Mori , the dark barbarian , his brute strength was terryfingly high.

Amongst the top 10 overall performers from the basic test. Only Rudra and Jin Mori chose the one v one event.

Karna , Neatwit , Nero , Patch Mori none of them chose to go for this event. Although they could have became a formidable force if they did choose to fight.

For Karna the reason was as simple as , he did not want to fight Rudra , he was not afraid to fight Rudra , just simply that he did not wish to fight his friend , while a small part in him also believed it would be very tough to win.

For Neatwit he had his eyes set on the tower clearing event and his second choice was first blood match. Hence he did not wish to compete in one v one.

For Nero and Patch Mori , they were necromancer and Zombiemancer class , hence one v one was not their strength , hence they decided to take a pass on the event.

( Quarterfinals of the one v one battle , national selections , japan )

Kakuzu stood waiting for his opponent , however he was shocked to see that it was Shakuni himself.

Kakuzu said ” Well , well , what an honour to fight the number one seed in the initial rounds. Sorry , but your journey ends here ”.

Rudra who had just spawned emotionlessly stood there and for the first time drew out Excalibur alongside Elven sword for dual wielding.

He knew Kakuzu was strong , However had no wish to drag this at all.

Rudra closed in the distance between him and Kakuzu , kakuzu too unlike most who would go on defensive , chose to fight back , and run towards Rudra for a Slash.

Kakuzu' s sword Slash was a tad bit faster than Rudra , and hence he smiled , at the trajectory it was going , it would be a critical hit on Rudra.

However something unexpected happened , the moment where his sword was supposed to hit the neck of his opponent , he vanished.

His swing missed completely as he cut air , throwing him off balance.

At the last possible second Rudra had used blink , and was now vertically above Kakuzu. As his sword came down in a single movement and slashed Kakuzu's neck instead.

The Elven sword went clean through his neck , as it was a armour piercing critical strike. Kakuzu was killed in a single move , within 9 seconds!

Rudra had won the quarterfinals in a overwhelming fashion.

The onlookers were completely stunned , winning the earlier rounds was easy , however winning the quarters within 10s showed that he was a mile apart from the others .

Jin Mori took 7 minutes to win his quarter final match , and after both he and Rudra won the semi finals as well the two of them were chosen to qualify as representatives of Japan.

Each country had choice to send 2 representatives for each event , hence there was no point in them both fighting.

Rudra had secured a spot for himself in overwhelming fashion for the first event!
