[GRHH!!]

A dense red energy surrounded Arav, and the environment began showing rapid changes, the clouds above Arav’s location parted, through which a red beam of light fell on his body while creating a large crater in the process.

[WOOSH]

Digvijay shot thousands of arrows made of Yellow light towards him, but every single one disappeared at the moment of interaction with the red light. A chill ran through Digvijay’s entire body, he felt a sense of immense danger never felt before, the energy paralyzed every single creature in the proximity.

Yaksh stared at the strange phenomenon with teary eyes, his heart still engulfed in despair.

“WHAT IS THAT!?” The people in the city and the elves from the town looked at the beam with amazement, while it sent a sense of dread in Usha’s heart, who frowned from the castle window while gazing at the beam.

[BHRR]

Lines began appearing on Arav’s back, the red energy carved a dragon by burning his skin through the clothes. Arav’s mind went in trance, seemingly aware of the occurrence;

[BHMM]

Another wave of energy fell down, this time red blazing flames erupted from the sky and fell with a tremendous force on Arav’s location.

Arav’s body began floating, every sense organ in his body stopped reacting, leaving only a sense of absolute strength raging through him. His limbs began growing back with muscles growing at the same rate, the magic of the elves masking his hair burned away, silver hair waved in rhythm with the red energy. His heart kept getting hotter and hotter, while eyes glowed crimson.

[WOOSH!]

Suddenly, the energy began shrinking above the ground, rapidly entering Arav’s body. Digvijay began shivering, as the energy he sensed from the phenomenon put the greatest mantra he knew to shame.

[BHUM!!]

A strong shockwave leveled the majority of the forest, while throwing Digvijay and Yaksh meters away. The energy from the sky disappeared, and finally Digvijay and Yaksh got the chance to look at Arav. His clothes were torn off by the sudden growth of muscles, his face which previously appeared miserable, now rivaled the appearance of the gods, his silver hair waved in air with a magnificent red aura surrounding his body.

Digvijay finally looked in Arav’s eyes, that pair of crimson death froze his spine, with sweat appearing on his forehead. His heart refused to believe what he saw, but mind made his body shiver, realizing the danger of this silver haired reaper.

[GRHHH]

The sound of a beast roaring still trembled the entire area. Arav’s gaze fell on Digvijay;

“You will lose.” Arav’s voice echoed, causing the air to get heavier. Digvijay began shaking without realizing, while his mind kept searching for ways to fight against Arav.

“THIS CAN’T BE!!, THIS IS JUST AN ILLUSION!! A HUMAN CAN NEVER POSSESS SUCH ENERGY!!..HAAAA!!!!!” Digvijay screamed with all his might, the dark aura from his body rose meters high in the sky, with the ground around him tearing apart.

“HUP…..” Digvijay jumped at Arav;

[SMACK]

His eyes widened, Arav caught his punch effortlessly;

“YOU!!!..”

[HUM!!]

Digvijay began radiating even more energy, freeing himself from Arav’s grasp, he jumped away a small distance from him,

“ENOUGH!! I’m done playing games!!”

[HRRRR!!!]

Digvijay brought together both of his arms, an incredible dark energy appeared and began forming a sphere between his palm. The force of the energy made his entire body shake;

[BHHUUM!!!!...SHUMM!!]

A dense beam of energy raged towards Arav, threatening to destroy the entire area. Arav blankly looked at the energy, he moved two of his fingers to the front,

[SHING!!!...]

“Wh..what?..Th..this..cannot be..” Digvijay’s eyes shivered, his hands lost their strength and moved down.

Digvijay’s attack got cut in half before reaching Arav. The only thing he could see was Arav floating above the ground, with his fingers pointing towards him, and the energy from his previous attack slowly disappearing in thin air.

“My turn..” Arav’s voice made the air heavier, while he moved his arm away;

[SWOOP]

The air dispersed, Digvijay’s eyes widened as Arav stood right in front of him, while his crimson eyes stared directly at his soul.

[SMACK…THUD]

Arav struck Digvijay’s chest, causing him to fly past the entire forest and fall into the river.

“URPH!!..’’ Digvijay rapidly moved his limbs, trying to get out of the water.

[BLBLBL..BLUP]

Digvijay’s face went pale, while his entire body turned cold, the moment he heard water boiling behind his back.

[THP…SWOOSH…CRASH]

Arav grabbed him by his neck, and flew out of the water towards the forest, he moved rapidly and crashed on the ground.

[SPLAT…SPLURT..]

“URK!!...” Digvijay felt every single bone of his body crushed by the impact, a pool of blood formed around him in just moments, barely hanging onto consciousness, he looked at Arav, who floated above him while looking down with the same bloodthirsty eyes.

“ULGH!..” Digvijay tried to speak, but his mouth released blood instead of words, with his consciousness slowly fading away.

“NO” Arav’s voice vibrated, causing Digvijay’s consciousness to become clear to the extent of possibility.

“You are not allowed to die…yet..”

[THP..CRASH..]

Arav spoke and grabbed him again by his neck, and began flying through every single tree in the forest. Digvijay’s head crashed with his pain growing every minute, he could not move his legs, nor breath, but somehow, he stayed alive.

[WOOSH]

Arav flew high in the sky,

[HUM!]

His hands got surrounded by red energy,

[BRR]

Arav placed his hand on Digvijay’s head and the energy began vigorously rampaging through his body.

“AHHHH!!!!!!!!!” Digvijay screamed, as he felt every single cell of his body boiling. Steam arose from his body with every single drop of blood disappearing, his skin had turned completely black with hair changing into ashes with not a single strand of cloth remaining on his body;

[WOOSH]

Arav flew back towards the statue;

[CRASH!!]

He smacked Digvijay’s body on its face with incredible speed, causing the statue to bend and the vibration tearing the ground apart.

[THRRR]

Thunder roared in the sky, Arav looked up and his brows got closer.

[WOOSH]

He flew back in the clouds,

[WOOSH…THRRR]

He suddenly released his red aura, guiding the thunder on Digvijay’s body.

“HHHPPHH..” Digvijay could no longer cry, nor speak, he made a sound that neither belonged to a human nor an animal.

[SMACK..SMACK..SMACK]

Arav began punching him in the chest, every punch released his rampaging aura inside Digvijay’s body. Then the punches stopped. Arav moved Digvijay and held his head with one hand and his legs with the other.

[SPLURT…CRACK..TRR…]

Arav bent him in the middle, crushing every single organ while doing so. Digvijay felt every iota of pain through his body, at this point, his soul screamed to escape from Arav;

“This pain is nowhere near what you truly deserve..”

[SLASH….BOOM]

A slash of energy clashed with Arav, resulting in Digvijay getting released from his grasp. Arav looked down, he saw a man with one of his legs cut off, floating on a yellow energy platform. The man moved his hand, catching Digvijay in midair.

[TRRR]

Thunder roared in the sky, while Drona slowly moved Digvijay near him. The rain soaked his hair, causing it to cover his face. Drona sat down on the platform, while his shaking hands held Digvijay in his lap.

[SWOO]

Arav flew downward and stopped in front of Drona, who had his head down while his hands summoned yellow energy towards Digvijay.

Drona slowly raised his head;

“I…asked…you to give him a chance..” Drona’s voice got heavy due to his intense emotions, his eyes began glowing yellow while glaring at Arav.

“I did..”

[HUM!]

A powerful gust of energy got released at Arav,

[BOOM!]

Arav stretched his hand forward and easily destroyed the attack. Drona placed Digvijay back on the platform, after realizing he was still alive.

[SWOO]

Yellow energy appeared out of Drona and surrounded him;

“You did well doing your job freeing the elves, now let me do mine..”

[TRRR]

In a split second, hundreds of thousands of arrows appeared in the sky, completely stopping the falling rain water on the city. Arav’s brows got closer;

“I suggest that you take your son and go away..” Arav said with a serious expression while eying the arrows around him.

“I chose otherwise..”

[SWOOP…SWOOP..]

The arrows rushed forward, appearing like rays of light heading at Arav. Arav moved his right hand to his left,

[SWOOSH…]

Powerful crimson energy forwarded towards the arrows, gowing with the increase of distance.

[BHMM!!!!...BOOM]

The energy tore through the seemingly impenetrable attack of the arrows, Drona’s hands shivered, as he felt his mantra getting negated in mere seconds.

“You are the first teacher I ever had, I won’t incise that relationship by fighting you. Take your son and go away, his deeds have affected my ability to stay patient.” Arav turned away from Drona,

“You think I am not capable of fighting against you?”

[BHM!!!...]

Yellow energy raged from Drona, reaching several meters above his head,

[SWOOSH]

Drona sent hundreds of energy blades towards Arav, each one raged with immense power, far stronger than the arrows he had previously used.

Arav turned towards the attack, and brought his hands closer;

[BHRRM!!!!]

The crimson aura surrounding his began gathering between his palms, forming a sphere that began displacing the air;

[HUM!]

Arav moved his palms forward, releasing a powerful beam of energy towards the attack;

[BHOOM!!!]

The attacks collided, creating a huge explosion in the sky while releasing a strong wave of energy in the surrounding area.

“AHH!” Drona struggled to hold his platform together, with cracks appearing in the energy shield he had created;

The energy slowly disappeared, with flames still remaining at Arav’s palm. The clouds from the sky were cleared, causing the sunlight to brightly fall on the city.

Drona’s gaze met with Arav looking down at him, his crimson eyes now truly willing to devour him whole. His heart sank, with instincts demanding escape, as his mind realized the imminent death if the fight continued.

“You have grown well, disciple..” Drona said while turning away from Arav,

“I had a great teacher.”

Arav flew away from him, leaving him alone in the sky.

“Heh…great teacher he says..” Drona chuckled and turned towards Digvijay;

“You and I, we both can’t reach him son, he is destined to rule above all and nothing can prevent it. Your mindset is more crippled than me, you should be thankful that your life was spared.”

“HAAH…” Drona sighed and looked at the sky,

“The world isn’t prepared for him.”

Usha stood on the window frame, she looked at Arav and Drona, who appeared as a tiny glowing red and yellow dot in the sky. The red dot moved, and slowly turned into a silver haired man entering the forest. She began shaking from top to bottom, her heart thumped rapidly while she fell on her back.

“Th..th…the prophecy…”

***

[THPP]

Arav landed in front of Yaksh, who was unconscious with a pool of blood around him.

“FORMATION”

[BLUPL]

A mass of water appeared in the thin air, and turned into Ambu. Her concerned eyes widened, the moment she saw Arav. His body, surrounded in crimson aura, appeared as chiseled as one can be, his silver hair waving with the rain drops instantly evaporating upon falling on his body. His presence felt completely different from just a few hours ago, a wave of happiness and relief washed over her heart;

“Lord..Pra…” She tried to speak while stretching her palm towards Arav,

“Help her..” Ambu’s eyes contracted, the concerned tone of Arav surprised her to the core, before she couldn’t understand him, but the instant her gaze found Drishti, she hastily flew towards her and summoned water at her hand, guiding it towards Drishti.

Arav moved towards Yaksh, who lay down motionless, his face had an expression of relief, and it appeared he willingly closed his eyes.

[TCHIIK!!]

The aura surrounding Arav disappeared with the air around him getting displaced. He leaned down and placed Yaksh’s hand over his shoulder, and began slowly walking towards Ambu.

Arav found her still concentrating her energy towards Drishti. Her wounds were healed, but a restlessness clouded Ambu’s expression.

“What happened?” Arav asked while lying Yaksh down next to Drishti, Ambu looked up and gazed at Arav’s eyes which no longer had the crimson glow.

“She was inflicted by dark magic, it has damaged her essence. If I try to forcefully heal it, her soul might shatter.” Ambu spoke in a sad tone, while she looked back at Drishti;

“She has a strong will to live, refusing to let go of the thin thread of life she holds.” Ambu’s tone darkened even further.

“Heal him..” Arav pointed at Yaksh. Ambu summoned her water magic and sent it to Yaksh.

[HUM!]

Yaksh’s entire body began glowing, with his legs growing back. The wounds on his body disappeared in moments and soon, his consciousness returned.

“URGH!!” Yaksh woke up while holding his head, his gaze was met with the familiar white eyes;

“HUH?” Yaksh quickly got up and found Drishti lying next to him;

“SISTER!!” He moved his hand and began shaking Drishti;

“You did well..” Arav’s voice stopped him, he looked up and found his changed appearance with silver hair.

“What happened to her?” Yaksh anxiously asked while standing up,

“She is alive, and will live.” Arav answered, causing Ambu’s eyes to shiver;

“OH..Then treat her..” Yaksh turned towards Ambu with a bright expression, which was answered by Ambu turning her eyes away. Yaksh got confused by her behavior and turned towards Arav;

“My name is Pralaya, and I am the dragon lord.”

Yaksh’s mind was stunned, failing to comprehend the reality for a moment. He shook his head;

“What…What..What?..Come aga..”

“Your ancestor was my close friend, his presence ensured my safety in the darkest days I had ever seen.” Arav continued while sitting down, he moved his hand forward and placed his palm on Drishti’s forehead. Ambu placed her hand on Arav’s, and looked him with a concerned gaze,

“Are you sure about this?.” Her voice broke down with tears flowing out of her white eyes. Yaksh’s stood bewildered,

“Wai…Wait..Why tell me now?”

“I might not get the chance to do it again.”
