Suryastra !

The whole world was blinded by a bright flash of light and the shockwaves from the explosion spread out in all directions, destroying the whole forest along with the fortress and even Bhanumati and the others were affected by it.

After a few seconds, Aryan finally deactivated his The One state and immediately returned back to his normal form.

"Bleargh! .... Cough..... Cough! "

A large mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth as he knelt on the ground on knee.

"I swear I won't use this ability unless absolutely necessary. "

Aryan cursed in a bad mood and slowly approached the big pit where Harman was standing.

"This is..... ! "

Aryan was surprised by the sight in front of him.

In the centre of the pit, there was no one at all except the scorched black earth and a shard of golden armor.

Harman, was no more, having been completely burnt to ashes in the last attack.

"Well, I think I should go and have a look at Bhanumati and the others. I wonder how they are doing. "

After a brief mental prayer for Harman's soul Aryan prepared to leave the pit but suddenly stopped in his tracks.

And the reason was also very simple.

The small golden shard of Harman's armor was actually regenerating itself!

"How interesting! "

With a burning gaze, Aryan walked over and picked up the shard before heading out.

And just when he walked out of the forest, he saw a scene which left him petrified.

A few hundred metres away from him, Subhadra was lying unconscious on the ground with a gaping hole in her stomach and just a few steps away from her, Dushala was also lying on the ground in a disheveled state, constantly twitching from time go time.

At last, Cynthia was actually holding a dispirited Bhanumati in the air by her throat, with a sadistic smile on her face.

"You.... How dare you touch my queens! "

Aryan roared angrily as Moksha appeared by his side and rushed towards Cynthia at breakneck speed.

Fueled by his anger, the spear directly pierced through Cynthia's arm holding Bhanumati.

"Arghhhhhhh, my arm! My arm! "

Cynthia cried out in pain, immediately dropped Bhanumati on the ground and retreated back while holding her arm with a gaping hole in it.

"Aryan? You.... You are finally here? I... I'm sorry, I am very sorry. Sob, sob, I couldn't protect them. I am useless..... Sob... Sob! "

Bhanumati looked up at Aryan and started crying loudly.

Seeing this scene, Aryan finally came back to his senses and rushed over to Bhanumati and hugged her.

"Don't worry, it's not your fault. It was my mistake to bring you guys here in the first place, knowing full well how dangerous it could be. "

Subsequently Aryan quickly examined Subhadra and Dushala's condition and became even more worried.

Although Dushala needed immediate treatment but her situation was not that critical. On the other hand, Subhadra was in a very critical situation.

Having lost a lot of blood and multiple internal organs damaged, she was only barely hanging onto life.

"No, this can't be. Subhadra! Open your eyes Subhadra! "

Aryan nudged Subhadra anxiously as his eyes welled up with streams of tear, not knowing what to do.

And amidst all this, seeing that Aryan returned alone from the forest, with a fragment of Harman's armor hanging on his waist, Cynthia easily managed to connect all the dots and came to a horrifying conclusion.

"Harman is dead? But how? No, more importantly, since he can kill Harman then I am definitely no match for him either. I have to leave here now or else my end won't be very nice. "

Seeing Aryan crying while holding Subhadra in his arms, Cynthia made a decision and silently slipped away from the battlefield.

Naturally, her movements didn't escape Aryan and Bhanumati's notice. But at the moment they weren't in the mood to care about her.

"Bhanumati, you carry Dushala while I carry Subhadra. We have to get to the nearest town as soon as possible and find a doctor for them. "

After roughly cauterizing Subhadra's wound with fire so as to temporarily stop the bleeding, Aryan instructed Bhanumati and carefully picked up Subhadra, without reopening the wound and causing more blood loss.

Moksha automatically appeared beside him and the four of them flew towards the nearest town at breakneck speed.

But unbeknownst to them, during this flight, the broken piece of Harman's armor happened to come into contact with Subhadra's blood.

Following that, it turned into a viscous golden liquid and actually entered inside Subhadra's body.

Slowly, her wounds started healing at a visible speed and her skin started glowing a faint golden light.

"Hmm? "

It was only now that Aryan and Bhanumati noticed the anomaly and hurriedly descended on the ground to find out what's happening.

Soon, Subhadra's injuries had mostly healed, leaving only some minor ones. But more importantly, a golden armor similar to Harman's armor but more slender and feminine had appeared on her body.

Although it wasn't complete yet but it was slowly regenerating itself.

"Hey Aryan, what's happening to Subhadra? I am getting scared. "

Bhanumati asked nervously.

"I don't know very clearly but it.... Seems to be a good thing?"

Aryan said hesitantly while having a premi guess in his mind.

If he was not wrong then after Harman's death, the Golden armor had actually become an ownerless divine artifact. And luckily, Subhadra unknowingly managed to form a contract with it, thus becoming the new owner of this divine artifact, which further absorbed the damage inflicted to her body to hasten it's regeneration and indirectly managed to heal her injuries.

"Alright Bhanumati, both of their conditions have relatively stabilized so it's not very urgent to visit the doctor. Let's first regroup with Karna and then look for a good doctor. "

Aryan said after a little thought and the four of them changed their directions.

*****

Meanwhile, back in Capsodia, after fighting back and forth for a long time, both Karna and Herodius were very tired.

But they were in a stalemate, neither being able to secure a victory.

Finally, Karna had had enough and decided to end it.

"You shouldn't have forced me Herodius. "

With a sigh, Karna closed his eyes momentarily and started chanting a mantra.

"Suryastra, I summon you! "

Soon, a golden yellow arrow with a miniature sun at its tip appeared in his bow. After taking aim, Karna slowly let go of the string as the Suryastra flew towards Herodius.

Just like before, Herodius tried to fire Water cannons from the Hydra's mouths to stop it but unfortunately for him, as soon as the water cannon neared Suryastra, it was evaporated instantly.

This is the power of Suryastra, a divine astra which can only be obtained from Sun God directly and Karna is the only guy to have it in this era.

* Boom *

Soon, a huge explosion occurred on the battlefield as Suryastra collided with the Hydra, followed by a blinding flash of light.

It was only after a whole minute that the blinding light finally receded.

As for the aftermath, well, aside from Karna himself standing in the middle, everything else was burnt to ashes in a radius of couples of miles.

Herodius, the Greek troops, the Yavan troops and the fortress, everything was destroyed.

And the only reason why Karna was unharmed was because of his divine Kavach-Kundal which make him literally invincible against all weapons.

"Sigh! I really didn't want such an outcome. "

Karna looked distressedly at the destruction around him.

This is also the reason why he only used it now and hadn't already used it in the beginning, because it's also a forbidden weapon like Brahmastra, although at a lower level.

If Brahmastra is a radioactive nuclear bomb, then Suryastra is a chemical bomb at the very least.

But nonetheless, it has huge side effects too.
