Chapter 267: First event (1/2)

Rudra cut off all communication with the guild members once he teleported back to the guild hall. Before going for levelling , he gave Neatwit a small fist bump and told him all the best for the coming event.

Then he went off on his mount towards the levelling grounds. Rudra although farming mobs , was actually just warming up , training his reflex and getting the exp at the same time.

He was getting in the frame of mind to fight hordes and hordes of monsters. Rudra had matured over the one month of training , beat the clock challenge was not about climbing the tower with the most speed , it was about going the farthest.

He would not recklessly climb floors anymore , he would take every bit of rest he could get , his plan being to climb one floor at a time.

Overall , there were 5 main contenders including him according to his memory for the 3 medal spots , with parallax being a favourite , while Neatwit being a strong contender .

Neatwit had dissapeared from the game stage early and in his past life he never made it to the VR Olympics , hence he was a wildcard.

Apart from those 2 , there was a Bulgarian player called Hammerhead , and a South African player called rabada who could be potential medal winners. As they alongside parallax were gold silver and bronze .

When only 20 minutes time was left for the event to start , Rudra finally changed into his level 75 armour and full gear. He drank potions and calmed his mind to get to his peak condition.

Ever since he understood his drawback about his reliance on excellent swords for his success , he never once used Excalibur and Elven sword in training. Training with silver grade swords throughout.

Now for the first time in a month , he took out Excalibur and Elven sword , as he felt the familiar weight in his hands. A sense of comfort soon spread all over his body , he was a Ferrari driving under 40 km/ h with the inferior weapons , but the speed limit applied no more .

As only one minute was left before the event started , images of his mom , dad and little Max cheering him on came in his mind.

Then it was his guild members , and Ethan Grey , the ones for whom he was willing to undertake this journey.

Finally the image of Ruby came in his mind , and the memory of the short kiss flashed. Rudra's heart ached for a second , as he could almost feel the softness of her lips on his. He missed her, he missed her a lot!

Sighing , Rudra took a deep breath. His gaze changed to a determined one , he had remembered his reasons to win. For them he could not fail .

Then came the invite, Rudra instantly pressed accept.

Just as he was being teleported , he heard a soft voice in his head ... Which said ” All the best” , Rudra was perplexed , he knew that sound very well... It was Naomi.

He shook his head and smiled , not thinking much about this , as he focused on the challenge ahead.
