There was often a debate as to what really made a great warrior?


    Was it the relentless hours of training?


    The natural talent and confidence?


    Was it courage and bravery?


    If one chose any of the above answers they would have been wrong as per Karna, as the moments that made a great warrior in his point of view were moments of clutch where the chances of sess seemed so abysmal that only a miracle could see the warriore through.


    As Karna watched the ck sun descend it was exactly the thought running through his mind as the heat and and power of the attack was so destructive that eventhough he was standing 2 blocks away and the attack had not even fully hit the ground yet , there was a meteor size sizzling crater in the vicinity of the attack while the total radius of destruction spanned for over 5 killometers.


    In his mind there was noprehensible way of getting away from such an attack and if it was anyone other than his guildmaster who was at the recieving end of this monstrosity, Karna would have not even batted an eye before dering him/ her as good as dead, however BECAUSE it was the guildmaster he knew that it would take something much more from the devil to bring him down.


    " COMEON GUILDMASTERRR YOU CAN DOOO THISSS! ". Karna shouted at the top of his lungs as Medivh created a wind barrier around the duo to protect them from the aftermath of the impending explosion , however both of their eyes remained glued to the building Rudra was in as with bated breaths they awaited the conclusion of this move.

    ( Rudra''s POV)


    While most warriors would nk out under such circumstances facing an absolute death, for Rudra the scenario waspletely opposite.


    When an impending danger seemed to threaten his life his brain went into an unprecedented hyperdrive as it gave Rudra the best move to counter the situation.


    Rudra thought of his entire moveset in and instant and immediately he knew the only two moves capable of getting him out of this situation unharmed were his spatial maniption and Full counter.


    The Problem with both however was that neither could Rudra summon a spatial portal big enough to swallow the dark suning down towards him and neither could full counter.


    However since he only had a breaths time to decide and he was optionless, Rudra decided to bet on the full counter as he instantly activated the knight of the empire form and expanded Excalibur to a 100 feet long sword as his corporal golden winged form shouted.


    " KNIGHT CLASS SPECIAL MOVE - ENHANCED FULL COUNTER! ".


    Rudra''s Excalibur collided against the ck sun and despite its appearance of a liquid like ball the sun was as dense of a structure as one could be as Rudra''s sword collided against an almost indestructible object.


    Immediately Rudra felt a searing pressure on his back muscles as the move weighed in heavily on him.


    Just half a breath worths of impact and Rudra realised just how powerful the tier 6 move unleashed upon him really was and how herculean of a task he had ahead of him.


    Rudra strained every muscle in his body to its extreme limit and Excalibur changed color from a simple shiny grey to a multi color of red , orange, yellow and blue like a strip of iron being heated over a me as it continued to grind against the surface of the sun.


    The onlooking demons and elites could not beleive their eyes as they saw the massive figurine of the guildmaster trying to hold out the sun as one of the demons who became anxious said " He can''t possibly stop it can he? , He will surely fall ".


    Even Lucifer who was catching his breath after unleashing this big move could not beleive his eyes as the devil shouted " JUST DIE PEASANT , CRUMPLE ! ".


    " AGHHHHHHHH " Rudra shouted his lungs out, his body was in so much pain that he did not even realise that he was already knee deep into a pit of boiling magma as the heat from the sun had already destroyed the ground he was standing onpletely.


    His knight of the empire form slowly started to corrode under the heat as the golden protectionyer around Rudra''s body began to Whittle down, however eventhough the pressure of the attack had not changed even the slightest after 15 breaths time , Rudra kept pushing against the sun with all he had got without thinking about when it would stop.


    '' I REFUSE TO YIELD , I CANNOT FALL HERE , DONT YOU DARE GIVE IN ON ME MUSCLES , PUSH , PUSH , PUSH , IM NOT GOING TO DIE HERE , NOT TO THE DEVIL NO ! NO! NO!


    IM UNSTOPPABLE, IM UNDEFEATABLE AND I AM INDOMITABLE.


    I AM SHAKUNI OF THE ELITES ''.


    Rudra shouted motivation in his own mind as although he had clutched his eyes close tightly and did not see the sun tripling in size over him, when the sun finally became triple in size twenty breathster the pressure on Rudra''s body instantly lessened as the attack went back towards the devil with thrice the speed and thrice the power!


    Rudra''s knight form shattered and he started to fall towards the magma , however his eyes remained focused on the attack moving at terminal speed towards Lucifer, as he anticipated a grand explosion.


    Allowing him a rare moment of releif in this fight Rudra smiled as he murmured the words " Take that you b**** ".


    Although Rudra expected the move to collide against Lucifer or the dark prison or something along those lines. However to his horror Lucifer in that marginal instant created another dark sun , this time triple the size to match Rudra''s attack and sent it towards Rudra''s countered move to meet midway in the air.


    " Sh** ". Rudra spoke as a collosal explosion took ce over the city.
