Blood Oath!

Awaiting the Yaksha's response, Aryan braced himself for the Yaksha's verdict, eager to ascertain the outcome of this intriguing exchange of wits and wisdom.

Impressed by Aryan's prompt and accurate responses, the Yaksha Vajrapani's watery form gradually dispersed, and the pond returned to its tranquil state.

"Congratulations, warrior. You have answered all seven of my questions correctly," the Yaksha's voice echoed softly. "As promised, I shall bestow upon you the promised ability. From now onwards, whoever tries to deceive you by breaking their Blood Oath to you, their heads will split into seven parts no matter if they are mortal or divine beings. "

A radiant light enveloped Aryan, imbuing him with a newfound sense of clarity and insight.

"Thank you, Vajrapani, for your bestowed ability,"

Aryan expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart as he observed the fading glow around him.

This boon was really an unexpected surprise for him. And if used wisely, it can prove very useful.

By the time he managed to answer all the questions, the sun had alright risen on the horizon.

"Well, it looks like I can't afford the luxury of rest anymore. I should continue on my way otherwise I won't be able to catch Shatdhanva. "

With the special ability bestowed upon him by the Yaksha, Aryan embarked on the continuation of his journey with renewed determination as he rode through the forest.

After a few hours, the forest path gradually gave way to a clearer route, and Aryan also hastened his pace.

A small city slowly entered his vision.

"I should be able to get the information about Shatadhanva from the people here if he has passed from this town. "

Aryan thought out loud and pulled back the reigns of his horse .

After finally arriving at the town, Aryan made his way through the bustling streets, looking for any information that could lead him to Shatadhanva's whereabouts.

He approached the locals, inquiring about any recent sightings or unusual activities, hoping to gather any leads that could aid him in his pursuit.

As he conversed with the townspeople, Aryan

learned that Shatadhanva had indeed passed through the town, and he was even staying here last night. He had departed just this morning in the east direction, leading to the capital of Mithila kingdom.

"Hmmm, since he has left just a few hours ago, I should be able to catch up with him if I use Moksha. And it's for the best if I catch him before he reaches the capital of Mithila kingdom as it would complicate the matter. "

Aryan said thoughtfully.

Subsequently, after leaving the horse in a tavern in the town and coming outside, Aryan summoned Moksha and jumped on top of the spear as it took to air, like the protagonist of chinse webnovels from his past life.

* swoosh *

The spear zoomed through the air at super sonic speed as the scenery below flashed past Aryan's eyes.

In just half an hour, he crossed tens of miles. And finally, a man fully dressed up in battle ready clothes and riding on a black war horse entered his vision.

Although Aryan has never really seen Shatadhanva himself but he can guess that this guy in front of him was most likely him.

"I finally found you, my sin of greed! "

With a smile, Aryan summoned his bow Vasna while midair and fired a few flaming arrows using Sunshine ability.

* boom * * boom *

"Neigh..... Neigh! "

Shatadhanva's horse immediately stopped in its tracks and retreated backwards in fear as the ground in front of it was blasted by a pair of flaming arrows.

"Who is it it that dares to stop me? Reveal yourself ! "

Shatadhanva roared angrily and he also picked up his bow out of vigilance, looking around for the enemy.

Aryan, maintaining his composure, landed gracefully near Shatadhanva, his spear Moksha in hand.

He stood tall, his gaze unwavering, as he faced the Yadav general with a smile on his face.

"I am Aryan Bahubali, the king of Udra kingdom and I have come to put an end to your treacherous ways, Shatadhanva."

He declared firmly, his voice carrying an air of excitement.

To be honest, Aryan has always wanted to do something like this and finally today he got the chance.

On the other hand, Shatadhanva's eyes narrowed as he recognized the man before him, a formidable warrior who has defeated many powerful warriors time and time again.

"So, you're the one who's been chasing me. I didn't expect that Krishna to have such a powerful ally as you. "

Shatadhanva sneered, gripping his bow even more tightly as a solemn look appeared on his face.

"Although I must say that you have a fearsome reputation but I have no intention of letting myself be apprehended without a fight either. Prepare yourself, Aryan, for I am not an adversary to be taken lightly."

Then without saying anything else, Shatadhanva took lead to launch the first attack and fired an Aindrastra at him.

* swish * * swish *

"Looks like you're in a hurry to be defeated. Then let me fulfill your wish. Form Five: Increase !"

In response, Aryan also controlled Moksha to fly out as it turned into multiple smaller spears, colliding with the rain of arrows.

* Boom * * Boom *

The spears continued forward unimpeded after destroying the arrows and followed Aryan's thoughts to attack Shatadhanva from all directions.

"Hmph! "

Shatadhanva snorted angrily and summoned an orange astra which immediately after leaving his bow turned into a semi spherical translucent barrier surrounding him.

* clang * * clang *

"Oh? Nice trick! "

Aryan exclaimed in appreciation. This trick was actually similar to his spear's barrier form.

Meanwhile Shatadhanva didn't stop, summoned another purplish black astra and fired it from inside the barrier.

"Visoshana astra ! "

As the astra left the bow it was gradually enveloped in the shadow/figure of a deadly grey wolf with ominous black smoke leaking from it.

Wherever it passed, the land turned into a desert like something has sucked all the water, nutrients and life from it, leaving behind destruction in its wake.

Aryan also became serious after seeing this and with a thought, the small spears regrouped into its original form and returned back to his hand.

Aryan tightly gripped the spear and bent forward slightly while swinging his arm so as to meet the Visoshana astra head on.

"Fullll Counterrr! "

As the tip of the spear pierced the wolf's gaping mouth, it glowed slightly and immediately afterwards the wolf disappeated out of thin air.

* Swish *

But as the spear flew out from Aryan's hand something strange happened.

Shatadhanva felt deja-vu as the spear was slowly enveloped in the shadow/figure of a deadly grey wolf with ominous black smoke surrounding it.

More importantly, it was double in size as compared to his own attack and the wolf's eyes emitted a dangerous red glow.

* Boom * * crack *

"What kind of sorcery is this! No! No! "

Shatadhanva backed away in horror as his barrier cracked immediately on collision and the spear approached towards him.

In anxiousness, he continuosly fired arrows in succession which turned into large rocks to stop the spear.

* boom * * boom * * boom *

Unfortunately, the illusory wolf crushed all the rocks with its jaws into desert sand and finally lunged at Shatadhanva himself.

"Ahhhh! "

Shatadhanva roared in horror as the spear pierced his chest while his body dried up into a shrunken mummy in the blink of an eye.
