Sariel did not need to reward Rudra anymore than he had already did. But the angel was soft by nature and gauged that the biggest flaw Rudra had in his fighting was not his technique of his skill , but his speed.

Compared to tier 6 beings he was incredibly slow and his heart bled at that thought.

Without meaningful speed Rudra was never going to give Lucifer a challenge, hence he took off his own boots and decided to gift them to Rudra.

Sariel was a little impressed with Rudra by the end and decided to bless the demi-god with an artifact that he thought would help carry him a long way.

- The angel said

" Here , a parting gift for you , it will give you a slight advantage that you desperately need to fight tier 6 opponents , although it won't be nearly enough to catch upto big brother Lucifer, maybe you will just die slower if you have this facing him

".

Sariel's boots ( Divine ) - The boots carfted by the god of blacksmiths for the archangel sariel. These boots are inscribed with runes that drastically improve one's agility and defense.

Indestructible, these shoes are one of the most perfect creations ever made.

Specialties -

Agility stat X2

Damage taken to ankle attacks - 0

Damage taken while walking on any terrain - 0

Increases stamina recovery rate by 50%

Increases mana recovery rate by 20%

Increases defense by 100%.

Rudra's eyes widened in shock , this was too great of a reward to pass on however too valuable to accept.

In the end Rudra stood speechless on the spot and Sariel smiled at Ozriel who showed upto take Rudra and shoved the boots in his hands before leaving.

Rudra kowtowed all the way to the floor infront of sariel as he left and swore that he would always remember the angel fondly for all the help that he had given him.

Ozriel frowned when he saw this , as in his opinion a warrior should have more pride than that , however he kept his opinion to himself .

Ozriel said

" Let's go human , i owe Hades a favour and i don't want to dissapoint

".

Compared to the warm sariel , ozriel was extremely cold. He gave the no-nonsense vibes to Rudra and his very being exuded superiority as he treated Rudra as a nuisance that he needed to keep up with for the sake of his promise to a worthy being.

Ozriel was not a archangel, he was one of the strongest of the angels but he was just the half-brother of Raphael, Sariel , Micheal and Lucifer .

This was a major reason for his personality to develop like it did , as he was taught from an early age to be Stern and take himself seriously because unless he did so , the world would not take him seriously at all.

Reaching Ozriel's establishment Rudra could not help but notice that it was smaller compared to Raphael and Sariel . It was extremely large compared to human standards , however compared to the two Archangel's it was a bit small.

Ozriel coughed and said

" Alright I'll be teaching you about war and strategy. Consider yourself lucky mortal because you get to learn from the best strategist in all of heaven and the official strategist of the army of angels.

It's an honor that no mortal has ever recieved before and even angels of the highest houses pay incredible riches to experience.

I donot even teach to any run of the mill students with no aptitude, however I'll make an exception for Hades and tutor you .

So try and learn as much as you can and absolutely don't do anything stupid to make me angry

".

Rudra choked on his own saliva when he heard ozriel. He could accept learning many things and although he was not self conceited, he considered himself the best strategist around.

He was Shakuni dammit, the mastermind!

He was not ready to take ** from anyone , albeit an angel.

Noticing a chessboard in the side of the room , Rudra suggested

" With all due respect. I don't think there is anyone better than me in terms of strategizing.

Not even you

".

Ozriel's eyes flared in anger as he considered killing the mortal where he stood .

" WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?

".

Rudra calmly continued

" There is a chess board right here , beat me in chess and you don't have to keep up with me for next 14 days.

If i win however, you admit that I'm superior to you

".

Ozriel laughed in absolute disbelief, it was a maniacal laughter and one full of pride. However he said

" No , it's too easy. If you lose , which you will , you will become my slave for the next 10 years.

Since you have a big mouth , let me see if you have the guts to back it up

".

Rudra calculated in his mind that Omega was ending in about 4 months time and that Ozriel would be forced to let him go to the war even if he did not want to because of Hades. Which left him nearly 15-30 days of service even if he lost , so Rudra agreed and said

" Okay but if you loose , i want 10 of the best stat improving elixirs from your collection and a public announcement that I am better than you

".

Ozriel snorted and waved his hands and a system contract appeared in his hands.

He signed it first and then passed it onto Rudra.

System notification: You have been challenged to a match of chess by the angel ozriel , should you loose you must serve as his servant for a duration of 10 years , do you accept?

Yes

No

Taking a deep breath Rudra clicked yes , thinking he had nothing much to loose . Little did he know that contracts into Omega were carried forward by the queen into Sigma and he had a lot to loose should he actually be defeated by ozriel.
