Forced on the back-foot

The avatar that Rudra had manifested was extremely troublesome for the dark faction players . However the mana drain the avatar had on Rudra was also astronomical . 

Hence while the enemy was trying to reduce the avatars size and land blows through its defences, Rudra had to reconsider the size of the avatar as he had to voluntarily shrink as to reduce the consumption to mentain the avatar. 

The eight alive dark faction members hence dominated the next phase of battle , as it was a slow bleed for Rudra . His HP steadily fell from 70% to 50 % , as the avatar shattered when Rudra did not wish to send his mana reserves below 30%. 

A full 35 minutes after he first manifested the avatar, Rudra was once again just a normal human , as he looked increasingly tired and out of options against the eight remaining dark faction players.
