" Take the Lord and run. I'll shrink the kitty down to size " the clone said with a swagger that only Max Rajput can pull off in the whole damn universe. 

DarkSorrow hesitated for a second, he was not confident in leaving the commander of the first division to fight this mess alone while all of them retreated like cowards. 

This mess was all of theirs to fix and he did not agree to the idea of the first commander being the hero and sacrificing his life alone but seeing Severus pick the out cold lord Ravan on his shoulders and starting to run, he felt like he was missing something here, as neither Severus nor Anna were cowards who would usually shrug away from a fight. 

" IDIOT, RUN ALONGSIDE US, MAX WILL SURVIVE THIS FIGHT, YOU WON'T" Anna shouted as she jolted DarkSorrow back to reality. 

Max was way stronger than DarkSorrow believed him to be. 

He did not need his help to buy time. 

Hanging his head down in shame he began sprinting off as well as looking at the retreating figures of the Bloodfall clan, Gurdan sighed and said " God Vas, turn them into ice statues please " 

The Ymir God Vas sucked in a breath of air before exhaling it all out and creating a cold Blizzard. 

The icy winds froze everything in its path and was catching up to the retreating Bloodfall commanders when out of nowhere a wall of black smoke blocked the attack, effectively providing cover for the retreat. 

A man with pitch black hair and eyes blocked the attack as he wagged his finger in a ' no ' sign towards the three gods. 

It was Zippo who had blocked the attack and although a man who was always lurking in the shadows, when it came to ensuring the security of his Lord he was always prepared. 

" Ha - A black dragon bodyguard, how cute" Gurdan said as he prepared to personally launch an attack. 

" Here kitty kitty kitty " the clone said, drawing Gurdan's attention away from the retreating commanders and bringing it upon himself. 

" I know you- you are Max Rajput, the brother of Shakuni The Terrifying, many in the Dark Faction are interested in experimenting with your DNA. Some think your bloodline is special. 

I'd rather take you alive but, I can always skin you after you're dead " Gurdan said as he locked eyes with the clone. 

The clone knew he could not hold back three gods on his own. He knew exactly the move he needed to conjure from his arsenal to keep the three enemy god's at bay. 

And the moment he drew Gurdan's aggro, he began chanting the dreaded spell. 

" O holy one, the progenitor of all shamans

Your descendants call for your help. 

In exchange for my vitality, my mana and my vigour grant me your immense powers, for my enemy's need to be destroyed. 

Heed my call for I know your name 'Angakok ' the shaman god, the enslaver of the' Kraken ' and the slayer of the sea god Poseidon. 

Heed my call! " 

The clone called on Angakok's power as the moment he chanted the forbidden spell, half of his HP bar, half of his MP bar and half of his stamina bar depleted as his consciousness was pulled into a white space while the Shaman God inhabited his body. 

Gurdan who was observing the clone was perplexed as to what the hell was going on as suddenly his opponent's HP bar began depleting like crazy, however, the moment that process ended his opponents eyes changed colors, from a reddish hue to a purple one as the whole aura of Max Rajput changed completely. 

Goosebumps arose on Gurdan's skin for some reason when he looked into those eyes. 

He knew that look, it was the same look his master Avans gave him when he was about to show him who was the boss, yet for some reason this look was even more dangerous than that one. 

" Be careful, his aura has become much more dense than before " Donatella the vampire said as he felt his godly senses screaming to run. 

******** 

( Meanwhile Rudra ) 

Rudra saw Max pushing past his limits to kill Thalion and felt his heart break to see Gurdan and the other god's arrive instantly. 

The plan that he had crafted for the Bloodfall clan was one that gave them a very fair chance at victory despite the overwhelming odds they were facing, but a majority of that plan was based off Max and his own personal abilities.

If his brother crumpled, so would the clan but if he somehow pushed through then the Bloodfall would claim a miraculous victory. 

As he saw the scientist/ sweeper guy put Max on his back and retreat, Rudra felt a sense of relief wash over him as he began moving to the front end of the fort where Max was eventually bound to be brought.

It would still be 3 minutes till his brother was brought to the fort which was why he was observing the battle between his clone and the rest of the enemy forces in the meantime. 

Rudra had hoped to see a struggle of skill, yet what he saw completely baffled his mind. 

Before today Rudra had often wondered what the title ' Angakok's chosen ' stood for and it was only today that he saw the Shaman God first time in action as the clone swapped consciousness with the ancient god. 

The name over the clone's status bar changed to ' Angakok's puppet ' and his mana bar expanded by 3 0's into a pool value that was almost equivalent to his own! 

Never had Rudra seen a large scale spell that could trap souls like the safe-zone barrier and never had he seen a spell that could help one temporarily swap consciousness and mana reserves. 

Just who the fuck was Angakok? And what was his connection to his brother? 

These were the questions that Rudra pondered as he watched the battle unfold with extreme curiosity
