Chapter 793 Rewards
When Rudra died the world seemed to have stopped for him for a moment it seemed as there was only endless darkness and nothing else in those few moments.
He thought that after suffering the damage the beast king would stop and show mercy to the junior , however he was wrong. Omar followed through with his attack till the end.
However for Rudra it was still worth it as through this one experience he witnessed a tier 6 attack through his own eyes and realised just how powerfless he was against it.
If it seemed as if he was idle when the massive fireblast came his way , he was actually not!
Due to being in a accelerated time flow he could make out the incoming attack and its speed however even at 10x speed he realised that the sheer spread of the attack was so wide that he could not outrun it even with 10 times his agility.
He then tried to defend using various attacks as he sent sword attack after sword attack towards the incoming fireblast however they were consumed by the endless fire as if adding another twig to a raging forest fire. It did not slow it down at all.
Finally when the attack did hit him , his body was incinerated on the spot and all the tier 5 stiffness and strength that he flexed so much was reduced to ashes infront of the phoenix fire.
He did not wake up in the church of life as he had expected after his death , rather he kept floating aimlessly in complete darkness as the scenes of him being consumed by fire kept repeating in his mind.
Every inch of his body seemed to be ablaze as if reminding him of the fire he had just experienced as he gained new insights into the fire element raising his proficiency in it from 51% to a respectable 71% .When his proficiency seemed to be sufficient, there appeared a small flame in the middle of the endlessness and Rudra drifted towards it.
Upon touching the flame he was sent back to the mortal lands as he reincarnated from the very ashes of his own body , covered in the Nirvana flame as he stared at the phoenix king with a stark naked body.
From the ashes Rudra dusted and picked up his sun god's bracelet however noticing how his doom armour and the wooden charm around his neck were gone forever he put his arms angrily on his hips as he looked at Omar.
The beast king looked at Rudra's manparts on display and said " What? I'm not into men if that's what you offer ?".
Rudra reddened from the neck up , however his grace never left him as he said " You destroyed my armour and my robes alongside much of my equipment , I'm demanding new ones ".
Omar tossed Rudra his swords which were now covered in god's blood and were shining unnaturally as he said " Very well , you have surprised me by hurting me so much and hence proved yourself in battle.
You are the most unique tier 5 warrior I've seen in my entire lifetime and as per my promise i will join you in your quest to bring down Lucifer.
Come , let me replace your equipment for you ".
The duo walked into the ancient temple but not before the majority of the elite forces circled from the long way around only to see the naked bum of their leader .action
Now Rudra was finally extremely embarassed as he ran inside the temple without looking back. Thankfully nobody had enough time to record or confirm if it was Rudra indeed , as that would make one embarassing clip for the leader of the elites.As the elites entered the temple and took the tests, Rudra went with Omar to the treasure room only to find countless precious treasures inside and countless spell manuals as well.
Rudra first picked an armour for himself and the one that Omar suggested for him was the sun god's armour , as he said that it was the most resilient to fire nature , as shown by his bracelet which did not burn away alongside the rest of his flesh on his death.
The sun god's armour would have been the ideal choice for Rudra as it had extreme defense boosts and auto hp regeneration under the sun , however this was hell they were fighting in and hell had no sun which made the armour quite useless.
So Rudra had to go for a more functional piece of armour that was arguably custom made for a warrior like him.
[ Divine beast armour ] ( Divine ) - This armour has four seperate layers made from your divine beast skins.
The outermost layer had the feathers of the phoenix to give the armour aerodynamics and for protection against all fire type attacks.
The second layer is made of dragon scales and it provides complete protection against all physical attacks as it negates 70% of all physical damage at this layer below tier 5.
The third layer is made of the turtle shell and is the hardest and the impenetrable layer. Apart from tier 6 attacks no attack can penetrate this layer and once worn it will provide user absolutely protection against being pierced.
The last layer is made of the ninetailed beast fur ,it's soft against the skin and provides protection against being frozen to death and serves as a paper on which many runes are inscribed for protection of the wearer as it extends like a second skin from the torso up for the wearer .
An ultimate defensive object forged in the second millenium by the only godly forger to have ever lived the thousand handed god for the then beast king Omar.
Rudra said " This , i want this no question"
Omar scratched his neck , although he was not against Rudra's selection but he had a personal history with the armour as well.
He had sort of imprisoned the thousand handed god to have killed divine beasts to complete this project as the beasts killed to make this armour were not ordinary at all but either peak tier 5 or early tier 6 beasts that were about to reach godhood.
Although it was made for him , he never used it once but instead chose to spit on the armour as he abhorred beast made products. However it had been too long since then and he doubted that anyone who remembered that incident was even alive hence he said " err ... Sure ".
