There were noises everywhere , it was afterall an uncontrolled environment. Scorpio' s declaration made everyone talk in murmurs. 

While Rudra just remained there without making a single sound , Karna however frowned at the situation, there were wayy too many alliance members on the location , for the fight to be carried on without outside interference. 

The alliance could cheat in virtually any match without qualms , having 500 members to cover for it. However Rudra was unfazed , the six experts infront of him were all level 45 and tier 1. From their attitude and posture, Rudra knew they were raised in a sheltered environment as they showed no fear facing him. 

But when it came to real skill , Rudra did not know the faces of a single one of them in his past life , hence he knew none of them were one of the true experts in the game, not reaching the level to threaten him at all. 

Rudra said coldly " Lets get this over with , its boring to have one on one with the six of you , its better that you all come at once and be done with it , i have much more productive use of my time than fighting newbies like you". 

Rudra's provocation caused " Oooo..... " in the crowd as people got even more hyped at the challenge. 

What arrogance from the masked devil ..... 

As he stepped forward , Rudra was quite confident in his skills as he had twice the elite players stats , coupled with his equipment and new found skills , fighting these kids would be a piece of cake.

With his recent outgoings and the tear of life , increasing his aldready massive stats advantage even further . 

The alliance leaders all looked at each other .... It was true that they had more chances to beat the guy six on one than one on one , however should they still loose , wont they loose even more face than loosing one on one fights? 

However after much discussion they decided to agree to Rudra's challenge. 

RealManchester guild leader said " You want to fight us all six on one .... Fine , you will be dead before you can even beg for mercy ". 

The six champions stepped forward , all having confident and vicious looks in their eyes. 5 of the six were assaulters while one was an assasin. 

Rudra chuckled at the choice of the champions , the clear lack of ranged classes could be seen. It was a good decision for a one on one fight , however in a six on one fight , a balanced party woulve caused him more troubles. 

Not that it really mattered however , as as soon as the signal to start the match was given , Rudra sprung inti action. Before the assasin could even properly react to Rudra's blinding speed and raise his dagger to meet the incoming sword strike. Rudra feigned the attack as he rolled through and slashed a nearby assaulters neck. 

-17,000 Critical hit!!! 

The adventurer was dead! 

Within 30 seconds of the match starting a member of the alliance was dead , and it only got worse..... 

The assasin who was by passed suddenly regained his senses after the initial shock as he activated his movement skills and attacked Rudra's exposed back, however at the last possible second Rudra sidestepped and circled behind him , his sword piercing his lungs clean as it went through him. 

SPLAT!

-15,000 Critical hit! 

Blood fell as another alliance champion died 

1 minute into the challenge and 2/6 of the champions were dead. It was absolutely shocking.

Even the remaining 4 adventures became on guard , they were absolutely in shock by the display of skills by the masked man. 

They started getting self doubts as to wether or not they could face this titan , as they had been undefeated in training upto this point and were rightfully a part of one of the strongest , if not the streongest members inside the guild. 

The four made a diamond defensive formation as the four covered 90° of angle to form an impregnable circle. 

Rudra laughed at the foolish attempt to defend , as he leisurely swung his sword in the air before using blink. 

Dissapearing from sight Rudra reappeared the the centre of their little formation , as he patted one adventurer on the back , for him to frenzily turn back and swing his sword. 

Rudra ducked the incoming strike and countered with one of his own , as his sword went straight through the other mans lower jaw out through his skull. 

-19,000 Critical hit! 

A third champion died! 

The initial party of six was reduced to three as panicked expressions could be seen on the faces of both the alliance champions and their respective guild masters. 

The alliance leaders knew at this point that dragging the match any longer was pointless. As they signalled their members to cause mayhem to dispell the challenge. 

The 500 alliance members suddenly made a ruckus as they shouted insults at Rudra and then suddenly about a group of twenty members charged at him , disregarding his ongoing duel. 

Karna swiftly took action , meeting the party head on, however the floodgates had been opened and all hell broke loose as the remaining alliance members also joined the fray to fight. 

Rudra and Karna suddenly felt a tremendous increase in fighting difficulty after being outmumbered by hundrerds. 

The challenge was over , there was never a winner per se , however the thousands in attendance were witness that the alliance champions were nothing but toys infront of the Elites. 

However the crowd was even more interested in seeing how the Elites struggled before eventually dying infront of the hundreds of alliance members pressing on them. 

However many solo adventurers who had qualms with the alliance also joined the frey , and all hell broke loose a little while later as the playground turned into a battleground of thousands of people where everyone you did not know was an enemy. 

A certain streamer had been streaming the entire event and the world got an impression that the Hazelgroove kingdom was simply insane , and from insane they meant insanely entertaining!!! Where else would you see such madness of thousands of people fighting with no apparent sides or cause .
