Chapter 458 - The Bigger You Are , The Harder You Fall
The end of the year rolled by , and it was time for the second VR OLYMPICS , the elites were naturally participating from Japan , and there was a little bit of shuffling as to who took on what event , but basically it was all the elders and some members making it to the national squad.
Rudra was not participating in this VR Olympics , which came as a shock to many across the world , as well an extremely controversial decision on his part as he was not putting the country's interests above his own , but Rudra had his reasons to not make an appearance . However even without his presence Japan had , karna , Jhonny , Neatwit , Medivh , fatty kalash , and many more talented medal winners.
Jhonny filled in for Rudra's shoes going in the one v one fighting event and winning it with his ability that made it impossible for people this level to hit him.
He was a changed man after being killed by Mazikeen , as he became more aware of his mortality. Never before had Jhonny English suffered such a horrible death , as his fullproof plan was swatted away like it was a fly by Mazikeen.
Hence even in the lower leagues , Jhonny never took it easy and right from the first round , never let anyone hit him.
Jhonny's legend grew stronger after the event , as it was the first time that someone won the entire event without loosing a single point in HP. But that was Jhonny English ladies and gentlemen.
Jhonny was a triple medal winner , karna got one gold and two silver , while Neatwit backed two gold and a bronze. The overall medal tally for japn was 9 golds , 7 silver and 14 bronze . Out of which only 1 silver and 4 bronze were from non Elite players.
Japan bagged third place , retaining it's place in the security council and hence having a prosperous year ahead.
Naturally the popularity of the elites skyrocketed after the VR Olympics , and the recruitment notice that came after the VR Olympics was met with overwhelming response.
The reason why Rudra did not participate in the VR Olympics was that there were too many eyes on the event and although important for the future direction of the country , he observed that just like him , the truly big players did not perform in public.
Revealing your cards in the open for a meaningless fight was not something that smart players wanted to do. Hence the big countries sure of securing their place in the top , let many of their talents not participate.
Angel , the triple medal winner from last year was also one of them. As USA did not play nightmare and him in the VR Olympics but still managed to win first overall.
Parallax was someone who was the most affected by Rudra not showing up , as he had spent one entire year in talking trash about Rudra and how he would show him down in the next VR Olympics. However , he never got the opportunity.
However the humiliation he suffered was much worse , loosing in first round to Jhonny English , who in the post match interview said something like this " To be honest , i would not last more than 5 seconds against my guildmaster , and parallax kid did not last 5 against me. That just says how delusional this kid is in saying he will be the one to topple the Elites ".
The interview resulted in an internet meltdown as parallax was turned into a meme and all his trashtalking was edited into a humiliating compilation of his most embarrassing moments.
He had no face left …… , The phrase that ' The bigger you are , the harder you fall ' applied perfectly to parallax who was the flagbearer of the first ever VR Olympics and hence the attention of the world was on him.
Now the world took pleasure in his downfall , as the one's who were there to laugh on his misery were wayy more than the ones there to Marvel at his success.
The misery only continued for him as Neatwit outclassed him in beat the clock event , bagging gold medal , in a five level clear of parallax.
This showed the amount of improvement that Neatwit had over the year , as he was barely bronze last year but was able to comfortably win gold the following year .
This was another slap in the face for parallax who claimed to have worked the hardest in the one year to claim his revenge . However did reality not slap him hard in the face when he lost in five seconds to Jhonny and was defeated by Neatwit in Beat the clock challenge. Someone who was only bronze uptill last year?
To add fuel to the fire , even Neatwit in his interview said " Im not the best in the guild , naturally everyone knows thats guild master Shakuni . If he were participating in this event , even my dreams would turn to silver , as i could not even dream of winning gold if he was in the event.
Naturally parallax is lucky to have won silver as the guild leader is absent . Him asking for anything more , is just him being delusional ".
Neatwit also calling parallax delusional , branded him as one . As nobody took his rants about revenge seriously anymore as parallax fell into madness. In reality it was not bad being a silver medal Olympic winner , it was actually a great feet worth reverence. However for parallax it was a joke , as he just set such a high standard for himself without having the ability to back it up.
In the aftermath of the second VR Olympics , the Elites were having an increased pressure to try and conquer the special event dungeon , as more and more people anticipated their performance in the event.
Could the Elites conquer the place when everyone else had failed?
It was an answer the general public desperately wanted to know and with 10% of the guilds share going for public auction?( 10 million shares in issue size ), in 7 days time. The time finally seemed ripe for Rudra to take action.
As it was a 200 man event dungeon , Rudra for the first time had the liberty of taking a large crew. Everyone was participating in this event dungeon , as Rudra had the luxury to go in with his top 200 !
All the guild elders , all the oldest and most experienced members as well as the new rising stars of elites academy brought along for field experience as Rudra lead the guild himself for this one.
Having never experienced this particular event dungeon in his past life , Rudra had no idea of what to expect going forward . However he had analysed a lot of walkthrough videos and had a general idea of what to expect atleast in the start of the event dungeon.
However as his purpose with this was to gather as much attention as possible , Rudra took the opportunity and posted it on the forums that on public demand the elites were going to raid the hell mode of the event dungeon !
Even his method to reach the place was flamboyant , as 200 elites rode their direwolves , fluttering their black guild robes with the Grey wolf insigna on it , capturing the attention of anyone they passed by.
Outside the event dungeon , many guilds had assembled , as cheers rang out from the crowd as the elites approached. Many first rate guild leaders tried to have a talk with Rudra , but Rudra only politely shook hands or nodded in acknowledgement towards these guys before walking towards the dungeon entrance.
These guys wanted to give him advice? B**** please , if you are soo knowledgeable then clear it on your own first !
Rudra was damn arrogant walking inside the dungeon , as he should be with the party he was leading. Every single Elite under him could wipe hundereds from these so called first rate guilds with ease.
With such a party behind his back , it was Rudra's duty as guild master to lead them to glory. Hence after a loud and deafening ' ONE FOR ALL , ALL FOR ONE , GO ELITES GO ! '
The Elites walked into the hell mode of the event dungeon ——
( Meanwhile somewhere in hell )
Aman was bound by steel thorns as ropes , as he was bleeding from head to toe being brutally wrapped to a large rock without and possibility for even the most remote of movements.
He had been here ever since he regained consciousness after being sucked into the portal and being rendered unconscious. However days had passed and he had not seen a single soul around him.
Although Aman had an inkling of whom it might be , his soul nearly left his body when he finally saw him in person.
The devil , Satan himself , the fallen angel , the notorious Lucifer , the ruler of Hell himself .
