Battle of Kashmir Part - 12

Aftab encircled Rudra with five of his men wielding shield and talwar.

Rudra stood cautious at the center with urumi in his hands. His eyes scanned all those encircling him as he kept changing his position. He looked calm on the outside, but all his senses were hyperactive.

Aftab sneered as he lunged forward, taunting, "Let's see if you can back up that big mouth of yours."

At the same time, another soldier behind Rudra went for a strike to his neck. Rudra pulled the blade to stretch back and sliced it to parry the attack of the incoming talwar. The end of the blade sliced the neck of the soldier attempting to ambush, and it whipped in the air in a snake-like pattern before deflecting Aftab's talwar.

Rudra didn't stop there and snapped the whip of steel in mid-air for a sweeping arc, keeping others at bay.
