Chapter 737 Hierarchy of Power
It had been 2 and half months since Rudra ate Axel''s body and was continuously processing his bloodline to use it as a catalyst in order to bnce his Basilisk and Draconian bloodlines.
Just over a week ago, he had finally seeded in doing so and managed to take a human form for the first time since Kahn created him inside the Abyss Forest.
But under Kahn''s order… he had been hiding from the outside world as the former expected this current predicament and gave Rudra to a fitting stage to make his official debut.
The Voronir subordinate was alreadyparable to a 3rd stage saint based on stats alone but after he ate Axel''s body that was none from this world… he gained an immense boost in strength and levels and now, he was alreadyparable to a 4th stage saint just in terms of physical strength.
In his hands, was An.
The legendary rank Trident was created by Throk. The one which carried the will of the Guardian Dragon.
Rudra had the ability toprehend and use the bloodline effects the most in their group. Thus, he managed to subdue the will and control the aura of this weapon perfectly.
On the surface, An looked like an Epic Rank weapon normally. And only when Rudra willed it, it would show its true strength and the Dragon''s aura during a battle.
Kahn as Legs had told Rudra to hide his presence previously and introduced Omega as Raiden, showcasing only him as their 4th stage saint.
Omega had also broken through after eating Drigger''s core to be a beingparable to a 4th stage saint after breaking the final threshold inside the Chamber of Exaltation.
So now… Kahn nned to break thest line of resistance and send a clear warning to all the saints gathered here. Thus, Rudra made his appearance and overturned the situation in their favor.
With two 4 saints present on their side… their total strength became too terrifying.
"This is Rudra Fafnir. An old acquaintance of ours who recently arrived in Alfheim and decided to join our guild." revealed Legs with a coquettish tone, not hiding his shameless grin.
"Ah… since we''re revealing our battle prowess… let me go a bit overboard." he said and the very next second…
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
Three bursts of shockwaves filled the entire hall as one crimson red, one brown and one blue pir emerged from behind Legs.
The source being 3 of hismanders.
The entire group of saints on the opposite side were left bbergasted again as Dante aka Jugram, Loki aka Ceril and Icarus aka Oliver also revealed their strength as 2nd stage saints respectively.
The Misthios guild had 6 saints apart from Legs when they entered this hall. But everyone was under the impression that they were only 1st stage saints. But suddenly… 3 of them turned out to be 2nd stage saints.
Along with the two 4th stage saints… this was too big of a powerful force.
The cores from the legendary rank monsters Raiden killed in Count Horik''s territory went to these subordinates back then, allowing them to break past their limits and make a breakthrough alongside Omega. Just that Kahn had ordered them to hide their strength to gauge the true intentions of these saints amassed here.
All these subordinates were given the cores based on priority.
Omega was Speed, Ceril was Magic, Jugram was Attack power and Oliver was Sky Force of their guild.
They were needed for many of the mercenary jobs based on the demand of many clients when Kahn poached them using the intel acquired from Logan. Thus, they were the best choices for him to upgrade first.
Now, only ckwall and Armin were left as Ronin didn''t need cores. But fortunately, Rudra had also finished and given them a surprise.
With this lineup… their situation hadpletely changed.
"Hiding behind your subordinates. Some strong leader you are." scoffed off Sedaris, still trying to pick a bone with Legs as if he would not stop no matter what.
Even the other guild leaders including Lagertha sneered inwardly. None of them had the will or confidence to go against this group anymore.
"Ah… you''re right. In the end, nobody would look up to a weak leader when his subordinates are way too stronger than him.
Thew of the jungle only acknowledges the strong." responded Legs with discerning eyes.
"But I never said I was done with going overboard." he spoke and let out an evil grin.
BOOM!!
Once again, Legs revealed his ck and red oppressive saint pressure… but this time, there was a big qualitative change.
"3rd stage saint!" shouted one of the guild leaders who was an orange tigerkin knight.
Everyone''s eyes were popping out in shock.
One after another… the people from Misthios guild were just flexing their manpower, almost giving a heart attack to the onlookers at this point.
In the past month… Kahn had also finished absorbing Axel''s Divine Key. He was currently level 458,parable to an intermediate 3rd stage saint.
Axel himself was a legit 3rd stage saint but he was a chosen Hero. This divine key was different from a normal saint''s core. So it took Kahn a lot of time to absorb it. And since Chamber of Exaltation along with his War Deity Body boost required 2 times normal resources, his breakthrough was stalled for quite some time.
From outer appearance… he was a 3rd stage saint but in terms of raw fighting power, range and physical stats… Kahn was actuallyparable to a normal Beginner 4th stage saint at this moment.
Yet… he chose to disy his rank at this moment instead of hiding it.
The main reason why Legs and all of hismanders were going overboard instead of choosing to act like an underdog was simple.
Not all battles were won with fists and weapons. Some battles were won with spirit.
Legs used a simple effective battle tactics from Art of War.
''Supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy''s resistance without fighting.''
And with this overwhelming disy of strength in both numbers and ranks… they didn''t just send a loud and clear message of might and superiority but also established their unquestionable hierarchy as they broke their enemy''s willpower.
Everyone understood one thing clearly at this point. The Misthios wasn''t a rookie guild anymore.
It was the new Overlord of Alfheim.
