Choices

Rudra thought long and hard about Hades's hypothesis and cautiously said later on " If hypothetically you can get the Goddess of Light to agree , and if you bless those who pray to you earnestly . Then yes , i accept your offer ". 1

Saying this Rudra felt like he got rid of a huge burden from his chest , as he felt extremely releived. 

He realized that had he turned down Hades's offer , it would have probably haunted him at nights forever. 

Hades smiled at this response as he said " You have chosen wisely , however nothing in this world is given for free . To wield my powers you must transcend from being a mere mortal. 

Reach tier 4 and tresspass into the domain of the god's , then and only then will you become worthy of recieving my powers. 

7 days ... You have 7 days to ascend to tier 4 , with a perfect score . 

Do it within that timelimit and i will bless you with my divine might.

Fail , and i would rather wait another thousand heres for a worthy successor than let my good name be ruined by incompetent mortals ". 

System notification : You have recieved a new quest . 

[ Ascend to tier 4 ] [ Quest ] ( optional ) : ascend to tier 4 within 7 days to get the lost mythic class ' death knight ' . 

Rewards : Mythic Class + mystery reward based on performance

Failure penalty : Dissapoint the god Hades. 

Time limit : 7 days 

[ Do you wish to Accept? Reject? ] 

Rudra hit accept , as alongside the clock of the ancient ruins , another one started to tick down on his status screen that asked him to become tier 4 in the next 7 days. 

Rudra sighed , there was too little time and too much on his plate at once , however since he was here with the god Hades , he decided that before he was sent away he could might as well make good use of this opportunity. 

Rudra asked " Before you send me away , can you answer two questions of mine ? ". 

Hades raised an eyebrow but said " Ask ". 

" Ummm , can you tell me where can I find something called a return crystal , and 2 i have a really big war coming up do you know someplace where i can find something useful for the war effort in these ruins? ". Rudra asked nervously. 

For a moment Hades was stupefied before he bursted out laughing at the audacity of the mortal. 

Uncountable milleniums passed as a god yet nobody had the nerve to speak straight to him , yet this weakling dared to ask him questions for his selfish benefits.

" I like you ... So i will help you". Hades said with a smile 

" The return crystal is in the church itself . Find it in the basement at the ground floor , as for your so called war effort , there is a military base north of this city at about 3 killometers. There you will find a design for a weapon of mass destruction. However be warned , the place will be well guarded . 

7 days .... , If fate wills it , i will see you again , for these 7 days you will be able to carry grim reaper but not wield it. ". Saying so Hades flicked his hand as Rudra was teleported out again. 

------- 

( Back at the church of the ancient ruins) 

Rudra woke up and decided to go wild . Not caring to inform his teammates about the fact that he was back. 

Slaughtering every single zombie warewolf he could lay his eyes on , Rudra began a murder spree. 

" The devil's back ". Said Neatwit as he eyed Rudra with venomous hatred. 

The gap Between the two was always large , however over the time it had only widened as Rudra's pace of monster farming was pretty much the same as the other 6 combined.

" Sorry for the hold up guys , I'll clean them up to make up for it ". Rudra shamelessly turned the situation in his own favour as thousands of zombie warewolf had a nightmare of a day as their heads were severed off their body. 

Midfight Rudra said " Someone find a basement here , there should be the return crystal in there. Just keep it don't use it ". 

As the three girls who were just staring at the boys slaughter with mouths agape realized that they needed to play their parts too and began searching for the crystal. 

45 minutes and wiping out a clan of warewolfs later the elites all drank stamina potions as they shared a hearty laugh. 

Rudra had levelled up twice from the Slaughter spree , yet his eyes were still full of bloodlust , but his mind was as calm as the ocean. 

Rudra had decided that with the return crystal already being found , there was no more pressure on them in the ruins. However this place was a goldmine , and without looting every single grave behind this church as well as that military base holding the ancient weapon. Rudra was not doing to leave the place. 

Rudra said " Alright guys , there are a lot of monsters out there behind the church of death in the graveyards. Let's kill them all , level up a lot and rob every single grave back there , the ancients beleived in life after death and packed precious items in their coffins , and we leave nothing..... If we are going to become grave robbers , we need to be elite grave robbers ". 

The group felt Rudra's energy and they realized that the leader was pumped , which pumped them all as well. 

" After that we raid a military base few killometers north of here , before heading home. Time is of the essence now , and i want to wrap this thing up within next 2 days. 

Sorry if you guys don't get enough rest , but there are reasons for it that I will explain later. 

Soo MAX ENERGY guys , lets rob some graves! ". Rudra hyped the group as the elites responded with a loud cheer. 

The loot was on! 

/// Guys , thankyou for all the feedback in the last chapter. I am a man of the people and the people have spoken. Hence Rudra is now in partnership with the god of death himself ///
