"YEAHHHHH!" Everyone cheered.
"Everyone, listen to me." The unit leader said
"Here's the plan. I will fight that woman over there; she is Anata Shikawa. Our chief said that Shikawa is the real deal. Group A captain, Naoroji, will fight the guy who's leading them to us. Group A will engage with the rest of the six enemy warriors." He continued
"YES SIR!!" Everyone bowed down.
"Next. Rifle Unit Group A will be helping with all the one-on-one combat, and Rifle Unit Group B will be firing at the cavalry of the enemy. As per the tanks, they will engage with the enemy tanks, and as soon as you defeat the enemy tanks, you'll help the others. Remember, we're not here for a fair match or some competition; do whatever you can to win. THIS IS A WAR." The unit leader said
"As you say," everyone bowed.
"Now. Rifle Unit C starts shooting, and the foot soldiers engage with the cavalry. CHARGE WITH EVERYTHING." He continued
"Charge with everything, soldiers." Mazhiro said
As per the plan, Squad B went ahead. Sainen and Sukheer ran towards the rifle unit along with some other soldiers.
Sainen & Sukheer vs The Rifle Unit of Muvah
"Sukheer You have to run fast to dodge the bullets, and as soon as you do, you'll run towards them head-on and then kaboom. Take their rifles and knock them out; it is not necessary to kill them, but be sure to knock them down so that they cannot fight again." Sainen showed Sukheer how to fight the rifle unit.
Sainen ran fast, dodging the bullets, and went behind the shooter, crushing his head into the ground and taking his rifle in his hands. He then started firing randomly. He was not even knocking them down, contradicting his kind personality; he was killing everyone at this point.
Meanwhile, Sukheer was just doing as he was doing, knocking down everyone. He was fighting everyone head-on. As if the rifle units were mere pests to them. He then used his special technique.
"Combat Technique: Battle Monkey"
Combat techniques are special techniques used in fights. They usually are enhanced martial arts, but in some cases, these are different combat techniques that are not always enhanced martial arts; they can also be some powerful battle tactics, such as the one Sukheer used. Commandant Fist's Angry Fist is an example of an enhanced combat technique, while Sukheer's Battle Monkey is an example of a special combat technique. Special combat techniques are often hereditary. Most of the special techniques were created in the Middle Ages. Among all the special techniques used today, the oldest special combat technique is the battle monkey, battle butterfly, and destructive discrimination. Special techniques can be inhumane strength, just like the combat styles of blades and swords, as they too were taught in special temples called 'Temple of Combat'. Special techniques were first created in the Britannian Empire of the 12th century.
"I never actually used this technique passed down to me. It feels so light; I can jump around, and it is like I have some invisible tail." Sukheer said to himself
Sukheer was jumping around like monkeys, dodging bullets, and knocking down his opponents with stones. "It feels so good, fighting." I want to fight more," Sukheer said to himself.
"I WANT TO FIGHT," Sukheer cried.
Sukheer was just throwing atones, but some of his opponents were killed, and he was pleased by it. Sukheer, who was fearing fights, was now someone else. He was consumed by a demon, just like Sainen was giving no mercy to his opponents. Sukheer followed in his footsteps. Throwing stones with a speed far surpassing that of the bullets, Sukheer and Sainen killed 42 of them in just 21 minutes; more than 30 were injured, and 12 of them were knocked out. Only 46 of them could fight now, and only 16 could stand properly and fight; the other 30 were just crying for mercy.
"THIS CANNOT HAPPEN. Contact the captain." Rifle Unit's captain said
"Yes, sir, one of them hid in the bush and tried to call the unit leader.
"Sir, here is the communicator." He said that and gave the communicator to the rifle unit's captain.
"Sir!!" He greeted the leader on the communicator.
"What's the situation there? Why aren't you shooting towards the cavalry? Luckily, here two of the seven are missing." Leader asked
"Sir! The missing two are here." Captain said
"WHAT?" The leader was shocked.
"One of them is Sainen, and the other is Sukheer. More than 50% of our soldiers are killed and knocked out. We cannot do anything without the batt." The captain was interrupted.
"Don't you remember? I said do as you want. Use the battle formation ZET HUSY now." Leader said
"Yes, sir," the captain answered.
"An done more thing Sainen is also a monster, according to the chief. Out." The leader hung up the call.
"Crap. Everyone is retreating now." Captain commanded
"As you say, sir," Everyone followed the command.
"We will now use the Zet Husky Battle Formation. Get to your position." Captain commanded
Everyone in the rifle unit went to the position arranged by the captain.
"ZET HUSKY: RIFLE DRAGON" Everyone cried
"What is this?" Sukheer was mesmerised by the mightiness of Zet Husky.
"I, the 20th captain of the MUVAH RIFLE UNIT, Saar Hussein, ask the God of War hidden in the mist of bloody warfare, Zepa, to enlighten me and revive our hidden powers. To the lord hidden in the mist of hatred, The Spirit of Hatred, please lend me your powers. Let me use your power so I can offer you the blood of one of the mightiest soldiers I have ever fought, SAINEN. Oh Lord, revive this dragon made from the hatred within our hearts—the hate for the person who killed them, the hate for the person who dragged us here. I willingly sacrifice myself to the hands of the Spirit of Hatred and the God of Wars, Zepa. Lend me your strength; lend me your strength; lend me your strength. I offer my body to the spirit. I SAAR HUSSEIN WILL SACRIFICE ALL MY COMPANIONS, DEAD OR ALIVE TO YOU. If not for this, then I will sacrifice this whole country." Captain said
"What are you saying? I don't want to die now. And if I have to, then I will, but now my family, my nation, what are you saying, captain?" All the soldiers were crying, but the captain seemed to not hear them.
"If you're not satisfied with one country, then I will offer you the three gems of our world: Malawai, Muvah, and Dravida. I WILL DO ANYTHING YOU WANT ME TO. I will fight the gods, devils, and demons for you. I will do anything; I will help you succeed. LEND ME YOUR POWERS. OH, the God residing in the Blood Castle of Lunawer. I bow down to you." Captain said and bowed down.
"What the hell is he doing? Gods, giving him powers. War with the gods—is there even a spirit of hatred in the first place? I thought this was some final move, but it is just begging for power in a new style. Huh," Sainen was pissed off, but deep down he was afraid.
"Sainen, as per my knowledge. Zet Husky is the ultimate formation for the rifle unit and was just used once in the battle of Quetta. It is powerful—so much so, but I don't recall anything written about asking Gods to lend their power. This is different; this is just like the first time blades and swords with powers came to be known. Just like how special combat techniques were created. This is different. This is the birth of a new era. I never believed that there are GODS GIVING US POWERS. Scientists in Louernia confirmed that the insane strength comes from a mineral. But if there is something else to it, then we are doomed. Gods and spirits, if something like this exists to give insane powers to humans for destruction, then I won't believe in Gods. This will harm the peace and harmony of this world." Sukheer said
"I don't know, man. I will just shoot him down." Sainen said
"No way, this is too risky." Sukheer stopped Sainen
"The risk now is letting him get to the gods." Sainen said
"But fine, shoot him now." Sukheer said
"Okay, I will," Sainen said.
"Shailya!? You here, what happened to your fight?" Sukheer asked Shailya, who rushed towards the battleground of the rifle unit.
"Fight! My fight. Are you crazy? At this point, no one can fight—not us, not Muvah, none of us. The sky is turning black. What happened here? Why is that rifle guy shouting?" Shailya asked Sukeer
Sukheer told him everything had happened up until now.
"WHAT!!!!" Shailya was shocked.
"Nothing will happen." Sainen will shoot him down." Sukheer said
"Uhm, wait, I'm coming in two minutes." Shailya ran towards the corner.
"Soul Core: Open"
Shailya ran towards Vahalla.
"What happened, Shailya? Why are you sweating?" Vahalla asked
"Vahalla, tell me one thing: are their gods and spirits of war and hatred?" Shailya asked
"Yes! But years ago, the spirit of hatred was expelled from the Geisterrat of the spirits. Since then, he has been wandering around the universe. The God of War is still in the Heavenly Realm with the other gods and deities. What is with you?" Vahalla said
"Can God and Spirit lend their strength?" Shaily asked
"Yes, but only if the one willing to take it sacrifices something that will create trust between that person and the spirits or God." Vahalla said
"So I want to inform you that someone on Prithvi is offering the whole country, not the whole world, to the God of War and the Spirit of Hatred for powers." Shailya said with a feared look.
"WHAT?" Vahalla was shocked to know that someone on Prithvi knew about these stories this whole time.
"And about powers. Remember when we met earlier you were talking about the powers we get from God?" Shailya said
"Yes. But there is a seal that limits the power given to a human.The five great trees.Remember the tree where we met? It is the oldest of the five, and it holds all the powers that this planet and its people once possessed. Only if that tree is destroyed along with the others will this planet be given its powers back." Vahalla said
"Does this mean that the saptvansh are the guardians of these trees, but there are only 5 trees and 7 clans?" Shailya asked
"The saptvansh were created only five centuries ago; later, the two clans were created from the two clans of the original five. There are still two young trees to be guarded. And thus the members of saptvansh are given special powers." Vahalla said
"Such as the Mahoraga clan of the great Mahoraga has the power of destruction. The Akatsumi clan has the power of flames. The Adamus clan has the power of light. The Sifon clan has the power of creation. The Azhura clan has the power of darkness. The Nostrus clan has the power of foresight and vision, and finally, the Mitsuba clan has the power of water." Vahalla said
"So I too have powers. But this isn't the point; what should we do now that that guy is calling to God for powers?." Shailya asked
"We cannot stop that. Even if we tried to kill him or stop him, if God decided to give him powers, then even the tree would fall down. We have to protect the great trees, especially the tree that is in Diwankula." Vahalla suggested.
"Fine the. Let's do it." Shailya said
"One more thing: if the trees fell down, it is possible that the rulers could easily intrude on this planet." Vahalla warned
"It will never happen," Shailya said.
"Soul Core: Close"
"What the hell!!!!!" Shailya was shocked to see the things happening on the surface.
