There were three key take- aways , one was Rudra’s class changing from knight to mana knight , which came in as a huge surprise to the Elites leader as he had never heard of the mana knight class.

The second was bad news , just as Rudra had feared , his golden ratio buff had been removed. Him getting the new mana stat , at 1000 made his 1:1 stat ratio out of balance , debuffing him .

If it wasn’t for all stats being doubled for Rudra as a bonus for ascending he may have became weaker coming out than going in.

The third was the random Legendary item Gaia had promised him. Rudra was excited to check that out .

Doom armour ( Legendary ) : An armour made for the half orc emperor Vader Doom , drenched in the blood of ten thousand races in ten thousand battles , it has never seen a crack on its surface.

An armour that Vader was soo attached too , he used it throughout his life , as no other orc was small enough to fit inside the armour especially with only two holes for two arms , it was neglected for centuries.

Effect one : No level restrictions.

Effect two : Doom recover. Use the enemy’s blood to constantly regain lost HP. The armour converts blood splattered over it to health.

Effect three : Reduces armour penetration by 90% , reduces chance to get critical hit on abdomen by 100%.

Effect four : Doom repell , use a shockwave to repell enemies ganging up on you , to send them flying in all directions upto 20 meters.

Rudra was more than satisfied with this armour , it was almost tailor made for him. Although not exuberant like the sun god’s bracelet, it had equal functionality for Rudra.

Wearing it , Rudra could be sure that there would be no critical hits on his torso. That was a massive releif for a dual sword wielder like Rudra , who could now go out and trade blows with an enemy , knowing that he could deal more damage while sacrificing his defense.

The effect of constantly healing HP , was also very good for waging wars , where Rudra was supposed to fight in a sea of enemies. It would be invaluable in wars , which Rudra planned on fighting a lot going forward.

Overall , doom repell was usefull should he ever find himself hard to breathe for space , while the armour provided 90% damage mitigation for penetration attacks , which was the highest Rudra had ever seen in the game. But the best part was that it had no level requirements , which meant it would become Rudra’s partner for his entire gaming career. Rudra would not have to worry about constantly changing his equipment now.

Rudra swapped his old armour with the doom armour , as he felt the true glory of the armour. It was much heavier than his previous one, and Rudra had to learn to adjust to its weight.

Rudra also noticed how distinctly he felt the virtual world now , it was wayy more vivid than before. He could now feel the position of the armour on his shoulders as he walked. The minute shuffling on the armour along with his body movements was a thing he never felt before .

Every step he took , every color he observed it all seemed different than before. It was a very new experience for him. What he did not know was that he was currently having a 100% neural sync rate in his new capsule , custom made for him , as his brain rapidly devoured the high nutritional fluids he had previously installed.

His mind was now a supercomputer , much faster than before. Although Rudra’s overall IQ may only have improved by 50 or so points , compared to before , his brains computation power had changed significantly.

Memory , movement , muscle coordination , data gathering and analysis , all were remarkably improved. Rudra was a force of nature now.

As he met with Luna again , Luna was shocked to see that she could no longer peer inside Rudra’s mind. Rudra’s eyes of truth had improved a lot , now not even tier 5 existances could peer inside his mind. They could still see his stats , but nothing more. While tier 4 existances could not even see Rudra’ s stats.

Rudra too noticed a remarkable change in his use of the eyes of truth. Previously it only helped to discover the stat pannel of players who were same or lower level than him. However now the eyes actually had a combat use.

The eyes of truth now seemed to reveal chinks in one’s defense and information on trajectory of attacking. Rudra felt like deadshot , as a laser accurately pointed to him the weak spot of his enemy and exactly how to hit it.

Not just enemies , but even inanimate objects like rocks by the road side , Rudra knew exactly where to strike them , to crumple it to pieces. Such flaws in structural integrity and architectural mistakes were now vividly clear to him.

Chills went down Luna’s spine , when she met eyes with Rudra , it made her question …. Just who was this guy again?
