Chapter 874 Victory!
Right strike, feint , leg kick , sword thrust , reverse slash , headbut ....
Rudra kept performing moves after moves after moves , not giving the devil even a single second of time to think or counter as he was forced on the defensive.
Rudra was so fast and thorough with his attacking that Lucifer had no time to realise that Rudra was progressively opening his stance up by forcing his hips to turn little by little as more and more of his body became exposed to his attacks.
The three minutes were about to go up and Rudra was nearly there , appearing to target Lucifer's right shoulder only for it to be a feint as the moment the devil folded his arms to block the strike with his left arm. Rudra quickly tried to take his left arm off by slicing grim reaper down extremely hard.
This was it, this was the moment everything went downhill for him in the future sight and the moment where Lucifer pulled the fight away from Rudra.
For the three minutes where he was fighting against the devil, the only attack sequence actually going through Rudra's mind was this one.
A lot of simulations ran through his mind and after a lot of contemplation Rudra realised one thing which was that no matter how he wanted to target Lucifer's left arm, unless there was something binding it to a place , making it unable for Lucifer to operate , the devil was always going to drop his sword and move out of the way of that strike in-order to save his arm.
Although it was the best possible course of action for Rudra , as it would mean that Lucifer would loose his only operational arm which was used in combat while being forced to break the prison of darkness with his other one in order to continue fighting.
This would mean that when Hades and Omar would return to battle they would find a maimed devil for them to kill who would be fighting with a severe disability.
Although it was the best course of action, it seemed as if the devil was prepared to not loose his left arm under any circumstances whatsoever which meant that Rudra needed to improvise and change his target.
Since the left arm was unreachable, Rudra decided to play the double feint and go for the devil's right arm instead!
------
Rudra acted as if he meant buisness when he was slashing his grim reaper on Lucifer's left arm, as even the devil could not doubt that Rudra did not mean buisness with this strike as it was performed with extreme hate and power.
Lucifer an experienced veteran of war had expected this course of action and he immediately dropped his left sword to pull his hand away from the path of the incoming strike as he seemed to follow up by performing a powerful kick to Rudra's chest.
Lucifer had an evil smile on his face when he saw Rudra missing his left arm and the momentum of his strike carrying him to bend over lower , bringing his centre of mass down for his leg-kick to land squarely.
' Like i said , a million years too young to fight me boy '. Lucifer thought smugly, however right at this moment Rudra used the downward momentum of the grim reaper to launch himself into a circular motion as if performing a spirited dance move , as he dodged Lucifer's leg kick narrowly and forced the devil to kick back to create distance between himself and Rudra to prevent the powerful downstroke of Rudra's rotating motion to land on his sword-less body.
Grim reaper scratched the tips of Lucifer's left shoulder armour creating sparks as Lucifer barely dodged the attack from that sword , a sigh of relief escaping his mouth as he now expected Excalibur to miss completely, that it was coming down towards his body a split second later , giving him even more time to put distance between himself and Rudra.
The devil in all his glorious years of battle had became acclimated to fighting swords that were stationary in size and shape, as although there were millions of swords across the world only one had the property of changing its size and mass as per the requirement of its user and that sword was the divine sword Excalibur!
Rudra remained laser focused on Lucifer's right arm and perfectly targetted the portion where his shoulder armour ended and his exposed arm started , as Rudra brought down and expanded Excalibur with all his damn might!
Rudra grit his teeth hard as he expanded and set the weight of Excalibur to a whopping ten meters long sword weighing over 1000 tonnes, the sword threatened to tear every muscle in Rudra's body apart from its weight and momentum however Rudra did not care, this was it! This was his ultimate attack that was going to defeat the devil!
Time seemed to slow down around Rudra as he could vividly see his sword coming crashing down on Lucifer's extended right arm that was holding the prison of darkness as it made contact.
It was all over in an split second, however Rudra remembered the feeling in great detail.
It was like cutting butter through a hot knife as he could feel Excalibur tearing through Lucifer's blood, bone and muscle like moving through air severing the devil's arm from his body!
Micheal had told him that it was Excalibur's destiny to someday draw blood from Lucifer's body, and today Rudra had fulfilled that destiny by not only drawing blood from the devil but severing a whole full arm!
A primal scream filled the air as blood Splurted everywhere and on everything. Rudra especially getting bathed from head to toe in the warm blood of a god!
The prison of darkness started to fade fast once Lucifer's arm was decapitated and it would be 2-3 breaths time at most before Hades and Omar would be freed!
Unfortunately for Rudra however his muscles were really not strong enough to control such a length and weight of a sword as when he tried to regain control of Excalibur by trying to hold its weight and try to contract it back into normal shape he tore both his arm muscles in the process.
A wave of pain shot through Rudra's body as well , however it was nothing compared to seeing the devil bleed and cry like a mortal and hear his shrill war-cry filled with hate.
" YOU DISGUSTING FUCKING INBRED MORTAL, I WILL END YOUR EXISTENCE, YOUR FAMILY'S EXISTENCE, THE EXISTENCE OF YOUR WHOLE DARN SPECIES.
ON MY NAME AS THE FALLEN ANGEL I SWEAR THAT AS LONG AS I LUCIFER AM ALIVE , I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN TILL THE END'S OF THE UNIVERSE! ". Lucifer threatened Rudra as he bent over to clutch his sword fallen on the ground.
However, unfortunately for the devil the prison of darkness had faded away and the god's unleashed!
