<h4>Chapter 518 - Getting The Pages Back</h4>


    As if capturing and imprisoning all three of the blood merchants sent on the mission was not enough. Rudra had decided that he would get the pages of the demons diary back from them too.


    However since the three of them would not voluntarily give up the pages , Rudra had already made his ploy.


    The n was not exactly what a decentw abiding human should do . However Rudra was hellbent on getting the pages back at any cost possible regardless of means to get them .


    As he took off Victor''s disguise and put on xietian''s , as SMG took the appearance altering potion for Jack.


    Victor was not yet aware of the capture of his teammates , as Rudra nned on scamming victor by taking on the appearance of his team-mates as he would pretend to rescue him only to get the pages back .


    Rudra made the elites do dummy war noises , as mour and fighting and shockwaves caused by the use of spells could be heard all around victor''s holding cell .


    Victor who heard this noise tried to peep out of his small air hole to only see rough figures of two men fighting , as he felt anticipation in his heart , that maybe the blood merchants were here to free him.


    His emotions bursting into pure joy when he saw jack and xietian bust the door of his holding cell open , as inadvertently a tear dropped from his eye.


    For the past few hours dark thoughts had clouded his mind as he felt unsure of wether help would ever arrive for him , or would he spend an eternity in this damned ce. However not even a day into his imprisonment his friends were there to save him!


    When xietian ( Rudra ) removed his gag, the first words that victor uttered were " I knew you woulde my friend " as he looked at Rudra emotionally.


    For a split second Rudra felt guilt and pain in what he was doing , however as he looked at the walls of the cell he was reminded of this house of the elites that he had built , and how it wasn''t built on foundations of mercy and kindness.


    It was built by his and his guilds blood sweat and tears and through his hardwork and sheer will. Unfortunately for victor his master Lucifer had tried to threaten this peace of his , therefore there was no showing mercy to this opponent.


    With an emotional voice Rudra said " Ofcourse I woulde to save you . Let''s get out of this s*it hole ".


    Jack (SMG ) pretended to remove victors restraints as Rudra said " Please tell me you have thest page? We fail the mission without it ".


    " Safe with me " , said victor as he gave a energetic smile. He could feel his menace returning as he could feel his freedoming back to him , as his mad dog nature resurfaced.


    " Show me , he might have given u a fake , that cunning ba**** Sha*** ". Rudra said hurriedly as he peeked outside the cell as if to make sure noone was approaching.


    Victor who had one arm freed by jack took out the scroll from his inventory as he gave it to xietian , as he said " All authentic i checked it myself ".


    When Rudra took the scroll in his hands , he pretended to read it as he gave the look to SMG. The look said " End this nonsense ". , As SMG clobbered victor on the back of his head to knock him unconscious , hisst conscious thought being " Huh? , Whats happening here ".


    Victor felt confused , anxious , nervous and betrayed all at once as he passed out before Rudra, who coldly looked at his passed out body as he put back the page from demon''s diary in his inventory.


    Rudra had first manipted xietian and jack using victors appearance in order to lure and capture them and then used their appearance to scam victor of his page.


    He ruthlessly yed both sides making full use of the appearance alteration potion as he manipted his way into achieving his goals.


    If this was the extent of his nning it would have been eptable however it was not. He was not going to stop untill recieved all the pages back , as his next step was truly extreme even for someone like him.

    ( Meanwhile Dronacharya )


    Dronacharya was nning for the dungeon that was to open in 2 months time as he readied his forces to storm Purplehaze city.


    Currently he was constructing a digital model of Purplehaze city as he nned to observe every nook and cranny of the battlefield to pick his fights from the best spots and identify key areas that needed to absolutely be controlled.


    He thought of every possible scenario and even nned for a contingency for what to do if he was unable to breach certain sections of the city wall as there was a n B , C , D , E as backup.


    Dronacharya thought everything from his perspective and every fail safe from his end , however the part where his scheming paled inparison to shakuni''s was his inability to predict the enemy''s reaction to a threat.


    Dronacharya did not understand the fundamentals of the game as well as Rudra did and he did not understand human nature .


    Being away from the limelight , and not interactive with most high ss yers , dronacharya did not understand the mindset of these big guys and how to keep them in check .


    He could make excellent strategies from his POV , however they could crumble to nothing if things did not go as he intended them to go or if the enemy pulled one out of his hat.


    However everything said he was 95% confident on conquering the city should no unknown variables appeared.


    This was with him assuming that all of the elites main force , their top 200 yers would be gone once the event dungeon opens!
