In the dark recesses of the rocky forest, a silent yet terrifying storm of blood and dark mana raged.
The massive swarm of B-Rank monsters, encased in heavy biological armor, charged with full force. However, they were not facing an ordinary dunger team. Gabbar stood at the frontline like a massive shadow tank. Whenever his enormous claws, forged from pure dark mana, collided with a monster, their thick armor shattered like brittle glass. Gabbar's objective was not just to kill, but to break their formations and draw their focus away from his master.
In the heart of this distraction, Rudra moved like a ghost.
A week of intense training combined with his new 150,000 MP base had pushed his physical speed and reaction time to a dangerous new tier. The armored beasts before him possessed no more than 120,000 MP. This 30,000 MP gap was an absolute tactical advantage. To Rudra, their heavy attacks appeared to move in slow motion.
In his right hand, he wielded the heavy B-Rank mana-forged dagger given by Vikram. Whenever a monster raised an armored limb or weapon to defend itself, Rudra executed a perfectly calculated strike with the heavy blade. The kinetic energy generated by the dagger's weight and Rudra's raw velocity completely shattered their guard. In the very next micro-second, the old dagger in his left hand slit their throats or pierced their hearts with surgical precision.
One strike to break the armor; the second to deliver death. This was not a desperate brawl; it was a flawless, tactical slaughter. Rudra kept his footwork minimal, gliding smoothly from one target to the next without wasting a single drop of energy.
The Boss Threshold
The slaughter continued for forty minutes. Rudra and Gabbar had completely cleared a long path through the jagged forest. The ground was now littered with the carcasses of B-Rank monsters. Rudra's breathing remained normal, his face showing no signs of fatigue. Black blood dripped steadily from his daggers.
As they pushed forward, the path ended abruptly before a massive, dark cave. The heavy, toxic mana radiating from the cave was so dense it created a crushing atmospheric pressure. This was the Boss Room.
Rudra's predator instinct flared instantly. He tightened his grip on both daggers while Gabbar took a low, dark stance, growling at the entrance. They were ready for the high-aura boss to emerge.
Suddenly, Raghav walked up behind them with his usual relaxed stride, looking as if he were taking a casual stroll in a park. He placed a hand on Rudra's shoulder.
"Your job is done," Raghav said in a calm, professional tone. "You have proven yourself. The dungeon workers will take it from here."
Rudra stared into the dark cave for a second, then immediately dropped his fighting stance without question. With a mental command, Gabbar dissolved into a pool of black ink and merged back into the shadow beneath Rudra's feet. Rudra sheathed both daggers. He now fully trusted the system and discipline of Garud Vajra. He understood that every order within this guild was backed by cold, absolute logic.
They turned back and exited through the swirling purple Hell Gate.
The Industrial Engine
Time: 03:15 PM
Outside, the sunlight was bright. The elite team and dungeon workers stationed near the SUV were on high alert. The moment Raghav and Rudra emerged, Raghav raised his hand in a short, precise signal.
The dungeon workers, tech-mages, and heavy machinery operators immediately sprang into action. They donned their heavy protective suits and entered the Hell Gate equipped with massive generators, cables, and industrial containers.
Inside, a specialized tech team headed straight for the entrance of the Boss Room that Rudra had cleared. They set up heavy generators and high-grade blue mana-crystals around the cave mouth. Tech-mages connected the crystals with concentrated energy streams.
Moments later, the machines began to hum, and a massive, transparent blue and purple 'Magitech Barrier' materialized over the cave entrance. This hybrid shield of technology and magic was so dense that the boss inside could not break through. Every exit was locked.
With the boss effectively neutralized, the entire dungeon became a safe zone.
The scavengers and workers began their harvest without fear. They moved to the fallen monsters, using specialized tools to extract valuable mana cores from their chests. Reinforced bones and thick hides were cut with industrial mana-saws and loaded into containers. Experienced workers carefully extracted rare, volatile mana-herbs growing on the rocky walls.
Rudra stood by the SUV, observing the entire operation with cold, calculating eyes. To ordinary dungers and smaller guilds, a Hell Gate was a death trap that needed to be closed as quickly as possible. But for Garud Vajra, it was a well-oiled industrial engine—a resource mine from which they safely extracted maximum profit without wasting energy on the Boss.
This perfectly managed approach gave Rudra a new perspective. He realized once again that the world's top guild had reached this level not just through raw power, but through pure logic and absolute efficiency.
