Chapter 289: One v One fight (3) (1/2)
( 3rd Match , round of 32)
Rudra was in battle stance , his opponent this time was from Sri Lanka , his name was Ranga and he was a swordsman class player.
Rudra had heard about Ranga , he is from Adam's guild , a fellow associate from Grey international. Too bad they were enemies here , or else Rudra would have loved to exchange some pointers.
Just as the match started , Ranga immediately unleashed his class special move , 100 swords descent. It was the most powerful move in his arsenal , and could be used from a 30 meter distance , he did not need to close in the distance. He knew Rudra was too strong for him to fight head on , hence he unleashed his best move right from the start , trying to gain the uppoerhand in the battle early .
When the terrifying sword qi came his way , Rudra's eyes widened in shock , he was thinking about closing in the distance , however he was forced to retreat. Retractable shield opened in his arms , and with a strong BANG , when the sword qi hit the shield , Rudra was forced back about 5 steps.
A damage of -20 appeared on his HP bar , by the sheer force of impact. Although the epic rated shield absorbed much of the impact , it still sent Rudra staggering backwards. This was the first time ever that he took damage.
Smiling , Rudra pushed in just after recovering from the impact. Even though Ranga had inflicted damage , he knew that he had failed miserably in his attempt , his strongest move could only inflict a -20 damage , he could not gain an advantage and his trump card was wasted.
In the exchange of swords that followed , Ranga slowly but surely felt that even though he was the one with the swordsman class , his swordsmanship was wayy inferior to Rudra , each and every move of him parried , while he had no answers for Rudra 's relentless attacks that chipped his HP.
Slowly but surely his hp turned from green to yellow to red. Ranga was getting more and more deseprate by the second , hence in a wrong move , he tried to use his legs to kick Rudra off balance , his leg swipe missed , and Rudra jumped .
Rudra used overhead slash to finish the match in a massive blow!
Match number 3 ended with Rudra winning in one minute and 55 seconds.
--------
Derek Ray : what a performance by player ' Shakuni ' , except for the first grand move by Ranga, that caught Shakuni off-guard, he could not get in any tangible offense later in the match.
Lee Dixon : Yes absolutely Derek , a convincing performance by the leader of the True Elites , his limits are yet to be tested in this competition.
Derek Ray : Every consequent matches are a treat to watch Lee , the strong are being filtered from the weak , and the competition is getting interesting.
Lee Dixon : will challenger number 4 pose any threat to guild master Shakuni? Let's find out in round of 16!

( 30 minutes later , round of 16 )
Rudra's next opponent was surprisingly a mage. Rudra actually knew this opponent very well , the mad mage Alem Sora , nicknames ( ' crazy b*** of Ghost kingdom ') she had a strong reputation.
A mage being in a one v one fighting tournament was odd , this is because inherently a mage is a PVE class and not a PVP class , they have weak defenses and are helpless when someone closes in on them.
