MMORPG : Rebirth Of The Strongest Guild Master
chapter-291

( Semi finals of the group stage , Grand collosseum arena )

Derek Ray : Finally we are done with all the groups having completed the quarterfinals , and we are finally for some action live from the grand collosseum , infront of a packed crowd of 200,000 fans ! The atmosphere is absolutely electric.

Lee Dixon : You can feel the energy in the air here Derek , I'm sure this is how gladiators would have felt in ancient Rome ,but this is ten times better.

Derek Ray : Hoho , good one Lee , our first match in the semi finals round is from group A , as Shakuni takes on Babar . What are your thoughts on this match?

Lee Dixon : Well both are outstanding competitors who have shown Dominating performances in the early rounds , it's hard to say who will win Derek , but I will put my chips on Shakuni , I think he has the edge.

Derek Ray : Well then I will place my chips on Babar , I wish to see a upset here , can he topple the top seed of the group?

( Voice of the ring announcer as he introduces the champions )

ANNOUNCER : Ladies and Gentlemen , Welcome to the GRANDDDD COLLOSSEUM , today's main event the ONE V ONE fight , shall now BEGIN!

( Loud roars and cheers from the audience)

ANNOUNCER : First fight from GROUP A , introducing the contestants .......

First from the beautiful lands of country X , we have the Paladin , the unstoppable force Babar!

( Soft cheers were given to Babar , as he walked into the arena with his fists raised)

" NEXT From the island country of JAPAN ..

( The moment the announcer said only this , the crowd erupted in mad cheers , tha atmosphere became absolutely electric)

" We have the KNIGHT , The DRAGON SLAYER! , The one who defies all odds! , THE LIMITBTEAKER , informally known as the DEMON OF DEATH VALLEY , He is the winner of beat the clock challenge , and the guild master of the True Elites , he is SHAKUNIIIIIIIIII ".

( Thunderous cheers upon Rudra's introduction came from the crowd , compared to Babar who had no titles in game , Rudra's introduction was grand )

Rudra walked into the arena lightly adjusting his shoulder , as he jumped lightly while cracking his neck , he was as casual as one could be.

Upon entering the arena , Rudra's eyes darted across the area , and he noticed the huge crowd , 200,000 people was a intimidating number , when they are all looking at you , a weaker man would have been on the edge of his nerves , but not Rudra , he quite enjoyed the attention.

This fight was more important to Ethan and Mithun Ambani than it was for Rudra . Rudra was Ethan's partner and had a brotherly relation with the man , however Babar was Mithuns champion , and his employee , the pressure he had to win this match was astronomical.

To Mithun beating Ethan's best guy was more important than winning the championship , for everything that he had provided for the training and growth of the participants of country X , all he ever asked for was to thoroughly obliterate anyone from Japan and especially from the guild True Elites.

Now that Babar was facing the guild master of the guild himself , he started to remember the words of his employer , his grip on his sword became tighter , as he glared at Rudra menacingly.

Feeling the menace , Rudra frowned and checked the opponents stats , Rudra was shocked to see that his opponent was a level 74 Paladin ! , Rudra had to take this opponent quite seriously if he wanted to win this event. The fact that he was able to become a level 74 player , meant that he was much better than the other players he had fought untill now.

Seeing how seriously his opponent was glaring at him , Rudra thought about messing with his mind.

The countdown for the fight started ( 10...9... , The entire crowd counting each number out loud)

Rudra at that moment pointed at Babar , and just as Roman emperors did to gladiators in the ancient world , he had his thumbs up with a smile , only to become a thumbs down with a death stare in a seconds time.

( The crowd lost their damn minds at this gesture , Rudra had proclaimed that he was going to put his enemy down! )

With the crowd cheering Rudra soo much , Babar had already started to feel inferior , however Rudra's provocation infuriated him . He knew loosing his calm before such a fight was bad , and was not stupid enough to let it affect his battle plan , however , he was for sure pissed off!

3.....2...1.... FIGHT!

The timer ended , and both contestants unleashed their long distance attacks from range. However , it was more like Babar dishing out a light blast , and Rudra countering it with a darkness blast of his own.

BOOM! , A explosion happened when the light blast met the darkness blast , in the centre of the arena .

Rudra taking this opportunity , where vision was masked with the explosion smoke , closed In on Babar through the smoke , Babar noticed Rudra just as he came out of the smoke , and raised his shield to parry Rudra's attack , however it was a feint , Rudra rolled through and he had very little space to hit Babar , he could not have done it with just any sword , but Rudra had Excalibur , and hence stabbed Excalibur which had shrunk to the size of a dagger into the sides of Babars armour.

-1700

Babar's armour mitigated the damage , and Babar Swung his sword to counter with a hit of his own , but Rudra jumped , hence the sword missed its mark , and threw Babar off balance.

Rudra wanted to pierce elven sword into Babar now that he was offbalance , but his enemy was good , as he quickly put his shield infront to block the sword strike . Hence Rudra was forced to change his mode of attack to a kick , having learnt martial arts with Yume for a month , Rudra produced a devastatingly strong kick with prefect technique , which landed squarely onto Babar's shield , and sent him flying ,20 meters into the arena's wall with a impact.

-1200

The impact caused him to take damage , as he reeled from the pain.

( The crowd erupted in cheers , Shakuni ! Shakuni! Shakuni ! Shakuni! , Chants could be heard from the crowd )

Rudra smirked , and raised his hands in dominance , giving the audience a show ! As he had completely wiped the floor with Babar in the early exchange.

However the fight was far from over , and he still had a long way to go!
