Rebirth Of The Strongest Guild Master - Chapter 563
Chapter 563: The Church Of Hades
Rudra and the Elites were inside the church of the death God Hades , and unlike the sophisticated churches of the modern times , the churches of the ancients were more like a cult .
Blood stains were everywhere on the floor as one could clearly see the marble on the floor being permanently stained by layers of blood that must have been spilled overtime.
Just like the modern churches , at the very centre of the church was the massive statue of the death God Hades holding his pitchfork carved to absolute perfection.
The statue Hades depicted Hadesto be angry as there was rage in his eyes that would make anyone who would state at the statue cower in fear.
[ You have looked into the eyes of the death God Hades , you are under a state of fear , all stats reduced by 2% for 30 seconds ]
A system notification was heard by all elites as they finally realized whose church they were in.
” The death God Hades? Since when does Omega have a death God? ” Asked Neatwit as he became perplexed.
All eyes turned towards Rudrafollowing this question as he was the only person who was expected to have such answers.
Rudra was the Nerd in the group who spent his free time reading in libraries , however even he did not have answer to this question as he shrugged and said ” No idea “.
Right below the statue was a sword placed in a sheath on a stand , and right after the sword was something that looked like a stand on which one’s head would be placed on.
The ancients practiced decapitation and live offerings to the death God , as animals , slaves and enemies of the state were all frequent offerings infront of that statue.
The blood that would trickle after decapitating a offering was collected by a wooden channel , which finally pooled all the collected blood at the feet of the statue , bathing the death god’s feet in the offerings blood.
Rudra’s eyes were fixated on the sword , but his lack of knowledge about ancient formations made him blind to the reality of the sword that he was seeing , as what he saw was a mere illusion.
[ DECAPITATOR ] ( Ancient ) : Forged for a thousand years inside the heart of the volcano Pompeii by smelting enhanced titanium alongside death crystals , DECAPITATOR was the holy weapon used by the church of the death god’s priests for their offerings.
One of a kind , it is rumored to be the sharpest blade of the entire ancient civilization.
WARNING : The sword has been used as a sacrificial blade for thousands of years , slaughtering millions. Once unsheathed it will unleash blood aura strong enough to attract all evil spirits with a murderous aura within 1km radius to the user.
NOTE : The sword is nearly indestructible after being condensed in volcanic heat for many years. However this has caused the blade’s weight to be extremely heavy.

The weapon was amazing! No question about it and with Excalibur becoming a pool of molten metal , Rudra needed a new sword desperately and this one seemed to fit the bill.
However he was the group leader and could not just hog the profits to himself as he wanted , hence he asked ” Alright guys that’s a good sword , let’s loot it . Who wants it?”.
In his heart Rudra hoped that nobody raised their hands and to his delight nobody called dibs on the item , leaving it to be claimed by himself morally.
” Alright I’ll take it “said Rudra as he went ahead and gripped the sword. However the moment he gripped the sword he felt his hand being pricked at multiple locations by the hilt of the blade as his blood dripped on the sword.
Suddenly the appearance of the blade changed , as the real weapon that was concealed behind a illusion array was revealed.
Rudra felt a searing pain shoot through his body as the sun god’s bracelet started to shine making Rudra’s tattoo’s on his skin to glow as it felt affinity with the aura of another godly artifact , making it resonate .
” Arrrumppp”. Rudra muffled a scream as he tried to loosen his grip on the weapon however it was to no avail as no matter how hard he tried the weapon would not budge out of his hands.
Desperate he activated the eyes of truth to see the reality of the weapon he had at his hand , only to be completely shocked.
[ Grim reaper ] ( Semi Mythic ) ( Bound ) : The sword used by the pope of the church of the death God to pass divine judgement .
Enriched by blood sacrifice of heretics as well as the aura of death , this blade is one of the treasures of the ancient world. However not everyone is worthy enough of wielding it , as everyone who tries to wield this saber has to undergo the death god’s trial .

Rudra’s knees buckled as his mind started to go numb from the pain when a system notification popped up on Rudra’s screen.

On one hand Rudra was completely shocked at the suprise mission , however on the other hand the sword made his blood tremble in excitement.
Rudra could not bear the pain in his hand for much longer hence he said ” Guys i will be teleported into a seperate system space for ten minutes , so don’t worry if i vanish . However for me to teleport i need to unsheath this sword and i am sure me unsheathing it will bring you all problems of you own , but it’s the only way out now , sorry for dragging you all into this.
Good luck boys “.
Saying so Rudra unsheated grim reaper and instantly his body was transported into a seperate system space.
With Rudra gone the red and black sword dropped to the floor , leaking a terrifying aura of bloodlust and death that made the elites feel suffocated just breathing in the room.
However when the blood aura of the grim reaper leaked , the earth started to rumble as if the dead were digging out of their own graves , but even before the undead made their presence known ,hooded men with pale faces and long teeth like those of carnivorous animalsappeared before the 9 elites , with their numbers increasing every second .
” FORMATION ! “. Screamed Karna , as the elites formed a tight circle , ready to face their enemies.
However just as Neatwit tried to attack the first cloaked man , his sword passed through him like he was made of air while his nails were able to scratch Neatwit .
” Vampires ! “. Exclaimed Skyla as she remembered the tale about these wicked species … Whose only weakness was the holy element and silver.
” Only silver weapons will work “. Said Skyla as she brought out the beginner silver short sword she used in her early days out of her inventory , as the silver sword pierced through the vampire infront of her and made it disintegrate.
However unlike her , not all elites had kept their weapons from their early days still with them at this moment as they were hard pressed while fighting the vampires.

( Meanwhile Rudra )
Rudra was teleported in a palace that looked 90% similar to Lucifer’s palace in hell , however unlike that place which gave Rudra the creeps , this place did not feel eerie at all.
Infront of him on the throne sar a man who had black hair , black beard that was long enough to mop the floor and pitch black eyes who observed him with great curiosity.
[ You have looked into the eyes of the death God , your fear of mortality immobilizes you …. Error.. error …error …. Error ]
Error messages kept being displayed on Rudra’s screen , as Rudra was not a mortal soul , he was a player , however for Rudra the error messages were not important as much as the fact that he was currently face to face with the god of death Hades!
