MMORPG : Rebirth Of The Strongest Guild Master
chapter-234

Rudra was really in a pickle here , all the skills mentioned above were very useful for him as a fighter.

However after thinking for a long time , Rudra finally became confused between these three choices in the normal skills section.

First was the utility skill Mega punch , Mega punch could be a key factor in a one v one battle , while the opponent would be expecting a weapon strike , one could surprise them with a Powerful punch to send them flying .

Rudra had no doubt that it would cause high damage.

Second skill was the three step combo , it was a offensive skill that could absolutely devastate someone's HP if all three moves connect.

It was the best offensive skill out of the five.

The third option he was thinking about was Swift Retreat. It was a versatile skill , that could help someone regroup and put distance between themselves and a close range attacker.

The skill was as powerful as the situation it was used in ,as parrying while retreating virtually meant one could retreat with zero damage taken.

Rudra was really confused between the three , and he did not know how to break this deadlock and make a choice.

Rudra finally decided to think about what he really needed. What was his next goal in life ... And his mind went to the coming VR Olympics.

The grandest stage of them all , the show of shows , the showcase of immortals , the ultimate world games.

That event will be more than just a display of skill and strength , there everything from one's mental fortitude to battle iq , to strategy will be put to test .

Keeping the VR Olympics as his focus , he re-evaluated the skills he could take.

While Mega punch was a great skill to have , for a dual wielder like Rudra its use became more limited , if he was a long sword fighter , or a single sword fighter he could have great use for this skill , however being a dual wielder , he could only move on for a better choice.

While three step combo was a great move to have , with the third hit gauranteed to be a critical hit if the first two hit , and the damage was devastatingly high , the move could be easily countered in the first two hit stage . Also , Rudra had offensive skills in his arsenal , he could do with one less at the moment.

Hence Rudra finally chose Swift retreat as his normal choice selection , the skill was very versatile and could help Rudra a ton against close range assaulters , especially the Dark Barbarians.

In the VR Olympics it could proove to be a valuable skill to have , it could help in both team and one vs one battles.

Rudra made his mind and said " I choose Swift retreat ".

The attendant replied " okay , choice has been made , here is the skill scroll ".

Rudra opened the skill scroll , and learnt It , Swift retreat had been added to his arsenal!

Next Rudra had to choose the Class specific skills.

Last stand and Full counter.

To be honest both of them were absolutely amazing skills to have , if Rudra could trade all his wealth for a chance to learn both skills. He would do it in a heartbeat.

There was nothing like one being superior to other to other skill wise , however Full counter did have a huge advantage over Last stand and that was the cooldown time.

The cooldown time for full counter was only two minutes, meaning it could potentially be used multiple times in a battle .

Last stand had its advantages too , in a fight between equals where only one move decided victory or defeat , someone with the skill could probably take a hit that would surely kill him , but kill his opponent too within the five seconds of immortality that came with the skill , if the enemies hp hits 0 too , then it was a worthy tradeoff for a win.

However , compared to full counter , it was inferior because of the cooldown time , while full counter could become a permanent member of one's arsenal , the surprise brought by last stand could last for one or two battles at best before everyone knew that there was such a move in a players arsenal , and they started to be vigilant against it.

Hence after thinking long and hard , Rudra chose the class specific skill Full Counter .

He said " I choose the class specific skill Full counter ".

The attendant confirmed his choice and handed him the skill scroll , which Rudra learnt instantly.

Finally with this his power up as a tier 2 player was completed. He had gained 200 stat points for successfully completing the tier 2 quest and got 2 good skills added to his arsenal .

He was very satisfied with his current stats , with this he could finally proudly say that he was a top contender for getting medals for his country in the VR Olympics.

If his memory served him correct , the selections for the National representatives would start soon , and he planned to take this opportunity and get as many members of the guild as possible into the national team.

The training and resources would help improve the overall strength of the team! Whereas the VR Olympics would provide a platform that would help the players mature a lot in game sense and strategy.

Thinking about what the future held for him , Rudra decided to log out of the game , and go back to reality , today was the lantern festival and he had promised to take little Max out.

He had hardly spent anytime with his little brother because of Omega , he was always either in the game or busy with meetings in real world , he needed to take some time out and spend it with Max too , the kid missed him around the house a lot.

However as Rudra left his room , dressed up traditionally to take little Max out , the scene he saw shocked him , Naman , Naomi and Yua were in the living room of his house ....
