Chapter 268: Ascending the tower. (1/2)

Rudra entered the first floor of the beat-the-clock challenge, where level 5 rabbits were spawned. It was as a easy as it came.

Even then Rudra did not rush to kill them all , taking his time to kill one at a time , without using any skills or wasting any stamina. 5 minutes were awarded to clear this level , and even though Rudra strolled leisurely , he had completed the level in 30 seconds.

Even then , he did not rush to climb , waiting for about 20 seconds before he ascended to the next floor.

Rudra was slow in his climbing approach , which was a stark contrast to the majority of the contenders in the competition , who were already at floor five or higher.

Rudra had absolutely no troubles killing the rudimentary monsters at floor 1-10 , as it was as easy as taking a walk , he had not even warmed up properly yet. However, on the ranking lists , he was dead last , most had completed level 15 or more while Parallax and Neatwit were on level 21.

The feed alternated between all the participants one by one , but naturally the leaders got the most screentime. The rankings were also displayed in real time , as what players were on what floors was clearly displayed there.

Currently over 4 Billion people were watching the VR Olympics live , and this being the first event ever, had unmatched hype and fan following.

The stream was being recorded by all nations , as the events were a chance to analyze the players and their combat prowess , for later events and future refferance. The skills they had and the hidden cards they held , would all be displayed in the live stream.

Currently on the livestream, Parallax was being shown with him easily wiping level 27 with his superior skills.

( Commentators POV )

Derek Ray : Oh my god Lee , what a brutal Slash by Parallax , that was a level 35 bull with high defense that lost its head clean. What power and precision, no wonder he is the leader in rankings and the leader in climbing the tower , Absolutely unmatched.

Lee Dixon: You are right Derek , the strong will always forge ahead from the masses , up untill now , I haven't seen the guy break a sweat. Are we looking at a gold for Ireland?

Derek Ray : Well, Lee the Irish would definitely be hoping that is the case. However the Japanese player Neatwit of the True Elites is not much behind either , at level 26 , he is hot on Parallax's tail.

Lee Dixon : Well , the Bulgarian brute Hammerhead and the South African player Rabada are at 25 , closely followed by Takuma and Kazuma at 24.

Derek Ray : The one climbing the slowest is shockingly Shakuni , the leader of the True Elites , and the Japanese flagbearer, being at only level 14.

The feed cut to Rudra ' s pov who was leisurely killing monsters at a steady pace , he did not seem to be rushing it at all , and did not seem to be facing any troubles either.

Lee Dixon : Well Derek , the man is clearly powerfull enough to maul through the monsters should he wish , I think he is just adopting a different strategy. Trying to take his time before he can climb.

Derek Ray : Is there really a need to do useless things like that though Lee? It's level 15 not 55 !

Lee Dixon : Well Derek , there won't be time to rest at level 55 now will there, the tower difficulty would get tougher , once one starts to climb higher.
