Chapter 551 Dronacharya’s DilemmaChapter 551 Dronacharya's Dilemma
" An excellent proposal , a truly generous one i must say , as you are indeed correct you have the item i want and trading it with the lesser valued item i just bought , it's practically me getting free 500 billion dollars , and only a madman would say no to free money.
Fortunately I'm not a madman , and i can't say no to free money . But unfortunately for you , now that i know that you are willing to pay 5 trillion dollars for this item , how can I let you have it for only a profit of 500 billion .... Tch , I'm not that kind of buisnessman .... ". Rudra said with a cunning smile on his face.
Hearing this dronacharya felt like vommitting blood as he realized that this situation had been caused by his own carelessness , as he had dug his own grave by giving Rudra the price he was willing to pay for this item.
Despair filled dronacharya's heart as all his politeness and fake accent and attitude dropped out of his body , as he soullessly asked Rudra " What do you want? ".
Rudra stretched his arms as he walked around the room , pretending to look at the auction going down below trying to look as disinterested in making the offer as he could , now playing the mindgames from his side.
After a while Rudra said " Information for starters , like why do you want this item? , Do you know about the ruins and it's rewards beforehand? ".
Rudra's question was spot on , as dronacharya felt hard pressed to answer as he stuttered and stumbled " Nonono , how would I know? I dont know anything ".
Rudra However instantly cut him as he said " Cut me some slack fanboy , nobody pays so much money for an item that they are not sure about . Either be sincere with me , or forget about cooperating with me ".
Rudra's voice was that of a king , full of calm and authority.
Dronacharya felt sweat tingling on his back as he felt he was at the worst possible conjecture that he could be in this conversation. Should he walk away he would never get to recieve the item he so badly desired , however if he did not walk away he would need to tell his greatest enemy about the potential benefits of the item , which was an equally bad deal if not worse.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHence dronacharya said " You are right , i do know about the item , however information is not a free commodity and i cannot share it freely ".
He had decided that he would grow a spine and talk to Rudra back with authority as he negotiated a deal , however before he could even start working on that strategy , Rudra said " Okay, thankyou for your time then , i am not selling this item ".
Dronacharya was left stumped for a second , however Rudra clapped his hands and asked the security to throw out dronacharya , hence by the moment he realized what had transpired he had already been escorted out of Rudra's room.
" SHAKUNIIIIIII ". Dronacharya screamed in anger as he banged his fists on the wall.
He hated Rudra to his core now , it was no longer just for parallax , a deep personal grudge had been formed between him and Rudra as well , as he had never felt soo humiliated , overwhelmed and ill-treated in his life as he did in the 5 minute conversation with Rudra.
It seemed like whatever he did , Rudra had the perfect counter for it , wether it was being polite or being authoritative , anything he did was in favour of Rudra , as it felt like a child trying to fool a master.
" I will show you .... Just you wait! " Dronacharya resolved himself , as he decided to give his 100% to the blood merchant organization as he would bring down the entire elites guild and their capital Purplehaze city in just a month and a halfs time.
The only fear dronacharya had now was that with the item being in the Elites hands , should they discover the secret of the ruins before he could level Purplehaze city , it would be a huge problem. However that seemed highly unlikely , as unless one had reincarnator knowledge like himself it was impossible to understand the significance of that item. ????nn????????????????. ????????????
Hence filled with confidence and hatred , Dronacharya left the system auction.
Rudra too did not dally around much , as although the big items were being bid for , he did not find the prices of any item being suitable enough to be bought , as following his conversation with dronacharya he took the item and exited the auction with Amelia.
Rudra assigned a very important task to Amelia as well , as she had seen dronacharya 's appearance , which was to use the semi legendary mirror that was in the elites warehouse to spy on dronacharya's wherebouts at all times.
Since dronacharya bought the demon's diary page , Rudra had a strong gut feeling that he would be connected to Lucifer somehow , hence to discover the opponents ploy before it was made , Rudra placed surveillance on the enemy.
This would prove to be an excellent decision , as in the next few days , earth shattering discoveries would be made by Amelia in her surveillance of dronacharya.
Meanwhile Rudra on the other hand realized that the item he had bought at the auction was extremely valuable and contained some big secret . Hence he decided to redirect his attention to the secrets it hid untill the other top Elites returned from their dungeon run.
Rudra had estimated the dungeon run to take 8 days to complete , hence he expected the guild members to return today , since it was the 8th day which meant that it would most likely be the day where the boss fight would take place , and victory and defeat would depend on the outcome of that battle.

( Meanwhile inside the special event dungeon )
Karna , Jhonny , Neatwit and SMG were the only 4 people left , as the giant tree infront of them had killed everyone else from the party.
The tree was called tyrant dominator , it was the male counterpart of the tree nymphs , however it was the size of a ten storey building with extremely lethal capabilities.
The only weakness being fire , the only person to accumulate a significant amount of damage on the tree was Medivh and his wizard regiment as they rained fire spells which were super effective.
However the tree was also smart as it targetted the wizards first while dealing with the others later.
" DAMNIT , this tree still has 10% of its hp left , and sword attacks hardly deal 1000-5000 damage at a time. It is nothing compared to its humongous pool of 3 million left". Neatwit complained to karna as he narrowly evaded an incoming branch attack from the tree.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm" But what can we even do except sword attacks , none of us have much other moves to use , do we ? ". SMG replied a little annoyed as he felt Neatwit being a crybaby.
Karna however was silent as he contemplated on the best strategy to move forward.
This was the first full-scale dungeon run that Karna was leading , as before now in every important mission Rudra was always there to lead the guild and more often then not the dungeon run turned out to be a breeze under his leadership.
However karna faced many challenges throughout the dungeon run , as right from the first stage there were casualties on the elites side making the run progressively difficult as the party moved forward.
It was to be noted that Karna did better than 99% guild out there , as reaching the boss monster of the nightmare mode of the dungeon was an achievement in its own right , however it was not the Elite level of achievement that the guild was used to with Rudra.
Karna needed to complete this dungeon run on the first try to show that his leadership skills were also on the Elite level and worthy of being the vice guild master.
After thinking he said " The tyrant dominator is essentially just a big tree . Although cutting it's branches does not produce much damage , the trunk will be it's critical spot.
If we are able to get close and deal a powerful strike while evading it's branches to the trunk , then there is a possibility of dealing major damage ".
Karna's plan was simple. Cut the damn trunk , however it was easier said than done , as the tree with its extrending branch arms , did not let anyone close in on itself.
However now with a general direction given from the party leader the Elite elders got to thinking as to how to accomplish his task , as Jhonny came up with a brilliant plan to help Karna reach the trunk.
Jhonny said " Alright , this is what we should do... ".
