<h4>Chapter 629 Invincible</h4>


    Wearing the doom armour and cracking his neck from side to side , shakuni stood over a copsed wall section as he looked down on Scar-Face whose face turned white to see that Shakuni was still alive.


    " You .... How is this possible? ". Scar-face was having a meltdown as he saw Shakuni still alive and well after taking his ultimate attack head on.


    However his shock only increased as soon a second Shakuni popped up 10 meters beside the first one , wearing the same armour and looking like the spitting image of the first one.


    " ANOTHER SHAKUNI? ". Scar-face felt like he was hallucinating now as he pped his face multiple times to feel the pain and understand that it''s real.


    Soon a third Shakuni popped up and then a fourth and a fifth until finally there were ten Shakuni''s standing in a queue infront of him.


    Scar-face rubbed his eyes multiple times as everytime he opened it again , a new shakuni would form. For a second he misunderstood the new Shakuni''s popping as a power of his own creation.


    Afraid to even blink again in fear that an eleventh one would pop up , he stared towards the shaman wide eyed as he asked " Do-do you see them too? ".


    Scar-face was afraid that he was going balooney , that the dragon emperor destruction had put too much stress on his body and now his brain wasn''t functioning right anymore.


    However the Shaman saw the same thing that Scar-Face did and in a grim voice he replied " Yes .... I see them too ".


    A part of scar-face was relieved that he had not gone senile , however the other part of him was even more worried now that the thing he feared to be true was actually true.


    Pointing towards the line of Shakuni standing he said " You .... How are you still alive? ".


    However instead of a response , the Shakuni standing at the middle just inhaled a breath of air and spit out a humongous sized fire that covered a distance of atleast fifty meters.


    SIZZLE ! SIZZLE ! SIZZLE!


    Countless blood merchant soldiers were burnt to ashes by the attack while the shaman had to protect scar-face since he himself was incapable of mounting a proper defense.


    " Ofcourse he breathes fire now too .... Hahahaha? ". Murmured scar-face as he hid behind the shaman in the face of the attack , as he found his mental state deteriorating after Shakuni kept pulling out move after move from his bag.


    Not only the Shaman , the entire world that was watching became shocked to see Rudra''s return to the Battlefield , as the moment seemed surreal to many.


    Although many assumed it to be a trick from the elites and something along the lines of having a '' Fake Shakuni'' , however just the image of Rudra walking onto the battlefield gave many the adrenaline rush.


    #HeIsBack , was the most used hashtag on the forums alongside the #invincible.


    ********


    ( The shaman''s pov)


    The shaman knew that the shakuni looking opponents infront of him were not the real thing , as none of them had the aura of death on them. However their appearance made it hard to tell that they were fake .


    While He could have easily told scar-face that the one''s standing infront were all fakes. He did not do so as he had a much more devious n of his own in his mind which needed scar-face to fall into depravity.


    For a second the shaman beleived it to be a doppleganger technique , but then one of the ten used a massive fireball attack and his notion of a doppleganger was broken as dopplegangers could not use attacks.


    The part that irritated the shaman the most however was the fact that he had to protect scar-face as of now , as the man was practically useless under the circumstances after having his strength sapped by the move that he used .


    However in such danger lied an unprecedented opportunity for the shaman , as he licked his lips in anticipation thinking of the n.


    Although he could ward off the fire easily , he purposefully let the attack hit him after a while as he feigned taking damage .


    BURN!


    " Ugh ". The shaman grunted as best as he could as he pretended to have recieved severe burns from the attack as scar-face Panicked a bit more.


    In his overconfidence , scar-face had only taken the shaman to the nothern battlefield as a tier 4 backup with all the other generals deployed on other Battlefronts.


    At this moment he truly regretted that decision , as he had truly underestimated shakuni and overestimated his own strength , as now he was defenseless .


    " We must retreat " , he said finally with a grim voice as he regained his mental stability a bit .


    He needed to survive , and heal and take out shakuni another day , but the shaman had other ns in mind.


    " We can''t retreat .... He''s too strong! ". The shaman said , panick in his voice as he looked towards scar-face in urgency .


    " There''s no other choice .... I''m not a coward shaman , but i don''t wish to throw my life away either.


    I underestimated his resilience , but I''m not weaker than him at my prime. A few hours of rest and healing , and i can take him on again and put him down for good ". Scar-face said , as he stood up once more.


    " I can''t cover your retreat .... You''re on your own ". The shaman said coldly


    " What? You crazy? You can''t take him on without me your physical abilities are dog-shit , you need to retreat to save your own a** too ". Scar-face tried to knock some sense into the shaman , as he signalled a few soldiers to rush towards the Shakuni''s. However Shakuni just snapped his fingers , and from nowhere a massive 20 meters high wave of me just washed over the battlefield .


    The shaman once again pulled off a defensive spell , only for it to be broken a few momentster and the two to be hit by a wave of fire.


    " God f***** dam*** ". Scar-face cursed as he could smack such tier three attacks with a swish of his sword , but now he was useless.


    " Okay what''s your n? ".


    Frustrated beyond reason , he asked the shaman for his n as thetter looked at him expressionlessly and said " We merge bodies ".

    ( Meanwhile Rudra)


    Rudra had sent Furball and 9 of his dopplegangers to the Battlefield after giving Furball the instruction to use switch , tounch him into the Battlefield at the right moment.


    Clutching both his swords he looked over at the broken rocks that were suspended 5 inches above his body as he calmly circted the mana in his body as per the cultivation manual he practiced and was with every cycle hepleted he could feel the pain easing inside his body.


    After looking at his status screen he knew that while he was well and alive , it would take a lot of work by a team of healers to restore him to his peak state as bone healing magic could only be performed by the priest ss and there was no potion that could performplete bone recovery.


    '' Hmm , maybe I should fund research into bone recovery potion .... Could be profitable''. Rudra thought as he tried to keep his mind distracted from the mind boggling pain he was feeling at the moment.


    Oddly , buried under the rubble Rudra found a moments peace for the first time in thest few months as he could finally think about something other than the impending war .


    The war was here , he had used all his cards just like he nned too , and he had brought the elites from an unwinnable position to a fairly winnable position .


    His only remaining job now was to kill as many tier 4 generals as possible to even out the ying field and tilt the odds towards an elite victory.


    There were no moreplicated strategies to pull off , no more major traps . It was just in and simple fighting that was left for him to do.


    Unlike others who despised war and bloodshed , Rudra found it exciting.


    He courted wars and the bloodlust made him feel alive.


    He was the perfect leader for this very reason , as there were little to no morale boundries that bound him in the war and he did not grow tired of it.


    Although Scar-Face managed to injure him into this pitiful state , Rudra did not despair at his lost ability , instead he was happy to be alive and have a chance at facing Scar-Face again.


    Smiling he murmured " Next time i see you ..... I take your head ! ".
