By the time Rudra reached near the place Aman was currently present . A challenge presented itself before Rudra, which was to pass a semi rural demon settlement unnoticed.
Aman's location was somewhere on the opposite end of town , for Rudra to be able to reach that location , he would need to either circle the whole town , and then cross a relatively small patch of land unnoticed . Or cross almost the whole town , through the middle.
Rudra contemplated on wether or not he should just wait for a few days outside the town , and wait for Aman to leave it , or not?
Rudra did not want to face a situation where he would be the only human enemy in the middle of a demon town.
Rudra's mind suddenly picturized the old movies where a demon would appear in the middle of a human village , and how there would be screams and panick in the entire village , and brave men would band together to hunt the demon down .
Rudra thought that he would become the demon in this scenario , being the only human in a demon town , being hunter by everyone.
Thinking soo , Rudra slowly slid away from his hiding position , trying to gain a bit more distance from the settlement , as suddenly he felt incredible weight on his back .
Rudra's heart jumped out of his chest , as instinctively he gripped Excalibur and turned to slice the opponent off. However , he stopped at the last second , utterly surprised when he saw that the one to jump on his back was a small demon child.
The child was also frightened when Rudra pointed a sword at him , as he started to cry.
Rudra was dumbfounded , what kind of a scout was he to be discovered by a kid , who was now crying and making a scene.
Rudra fled instantly from his location , as he wanted nothing to do with the kid . However he had already left a small foottrail in the arid soil , one that could be traced back to him , if someone suspected foul play .
Rudra decided that avoiding as many demons as possible was the best way to proceed with his mission , as he circled around the town , to the point from where the location of Aman was the shortest according to the divine tracer.
From there Aman started his stealth mission , as he would roll rock to rock trying to sneak into the settlement unnoticed.
Aman was meditating inside a protected Hut , whereas pride was just outside on alert while completing his mission.
What Rudra was unaware off was that Aman was not a hostage and he was in hell of his own free will and that pride one of the seven deadly sins was guarding Aman on orders from the devil.
This was information that critically altered how a plan should be formulated , however the stupid gods who gave Rudra the mission , did not bother with providing relevant information for the adventurer.
Hence it was safe to say that Rudra was more or less walking straight into his death....

( Meanwhile real world )
Naomi was tired of waiting for Rudra to reciprocate to her feelings now , she had been very patient , however it was always one war after another and one guild event after another and Rudra was never free to spend quality time with her.
It was hard for her to keep on waiting for Rudra with no progress at all. Hence she decided that enough was enough , she would be bolder now and express her feelings to Rudra.
She was afraid of rejection , she was afraid of how blockhead Rudra was . However , she decided that she could no longer live in this dilema and a constant waiting .
She would much rather get rejected and move on from Rudra , taking a years time , than spend a year chasing Rudra for them to be at the same point that they were a year ago.
There was never a good time , there was never a sense of calm and stability in the elites , as there was always one project after another , one war after another or there would be quests.
If she waited for the ' Right Time ' it would either only come after both of them had retired from gaming or when the Elites were disbanded.
As Rudra's ambitions would never stop and the guild would continue to grow despite everything. It was her that needed to pick her fight.
What Naomi was not aware off , was that Rudra had already given his heart to an NPC character. But even soo , he did have feelings for Naomi.
He would cast the occasional long wanting glance at Naomi only to feel guilty about it later and reminding himself that he loved Ruby!
In Rudra's mind he was a one woman guy , hence Naomi was in for a rough time when she eventually confronted Rudra about his feelings.
Making her mind , Naomi decided that the moment that Rudra came back at the guild and logged out of the game , she would confront him on that day itself!
What Naomi did not know was that Yua also had simmilar plans , however hers were not soo kind. She had planned to seduce Rudra into bed after spiking his drink at the Elite tower establishment ceremony , that was due in 7 days.
Already having bought the aphrodisiac her plan to make Rudra fall for her charms was already set. Although immoral , she too was tired of waiting for the leader of Elites to start noticing her interest in him.
