"General Aryamitra – The Shadow Fang"
In a semi-conscious state, Incharge Daksh looked at the man who had just descended from the sky. With a single slash of his sword, he had split the leading horned wolf into two.
Everyone standing there had their mouths open in shock after witnessing the power of that man. The only thought running through their minds was: Who is this man? How is he so powerful?
As they were all lost in their thoughts, a growling sound suddenly pulled their attention back to reality.
There were still 2 to 3 wolves standing, who wanted to attack the man but were also clearly afraid of him.
"You still want to fight me?" the man said in his deep, booming voice while placing a hand on his neck and spinning the sword in his hand as he stepped forward.
Seeing the man move towards them, the wolves became more terrified. They opened their mouths and began releasing black smoke. Soon, everyone was engulfed in the smoke and could no longer see anything.
"Ayra… Ayra… are you okay?" a voice echoed through the smoke. Hearing it, Ayra looked around and replied, "I'm okay, Nayra, but I can't see anything because of this smoke."
Hearing Ayra's voice gave Nayra some relief. The two were very close friends. Nayra never left Ayra's side and always made sure to look after her. Now that Ayra had confirmed her safety, Nayra's worry eased a bit.
Ayra was still beside Ishan, healing him. She was a light healer, whose power allowed her to heal wounds and injuries. However, as a low-level healer, she couldn't heal people quickly. So, she continued healing Ishan.
Meanwhile, Nandita and Vedant were trying to find their way out of the smoke, while Siya was leaning against a tree, stuck in the smoky fog.
Ansh was also trying to see through the dark smoke but could see nothing except the thick blackness.
Suddenly, they all heard a heavy voice through the smoke: "Wind Cyclone." As soon as those words reached their ears, the smoke began to clear, and everyone could see each other's faces again.
Seeing this, the wolves became even more terrified and tried to flee, but then another phrase rang out: "Shadow Lock." All those present witnessed the wolves freeze in their escape position, as if they were turned to stone.
Everyone turned their gaze back to the man again. But he didn't stop. He leapt high into the air and landed right on top of the wolves. In a single move, he beheaded all three of them. Blood began to flow like a river.
His movement was so fast—it all happened in just around three seconds. Everyone present was left speechless.
Mouths were open, but no words came out. The silence was overwhelming. The man glanced at everyone, then sheathed his sword at his waist. His eyes then fell upon Incharge Daksh, who lay injured near a tree due to the wolf attack.
Walking toward him, the man pulled a small vial with blue liquid from his pocket. As he reached Daksh, he made him drink it and said, "I was planning to sell this medicine at a high price. But oh well… I'll be collecting payment from you later."
As soon as Daksh drank the liquid, his body began to glow and his wounds started healing on their own. Everyone was amazed and also happy that Daksh was recovering, although he still felt some pain.
As soon as he regained some strength, Daksh looked at the man and said, "General Aryamitra, what are you doing here?"
Aryamitra didn't reply.
"Incharge Daksh, you know him?" asked Nandita curiously.
Daksh answered, "He's the Number 1 General of the Lightning Clan (Vidyutkul)—Aryamitra, the most powerful one. His skills are so superior that no one has ever been able to defeat him. Even the Sarnarakshaks (Protectors) themselves praise him. The other four clans have tried multiple times to convince the Lightning Clan's leader to let him join their ranks—but every time, they've been disappointed."
After explaining, Daksh turned again toward Aryamitra and said, "But a few years ago, he suddenly left the Lightning Clan and disappeared…"
Before he could finish, Aryamitra lightly punched him on the head, silencing him. Then Aryamitra's eyes fell on a boy wearing a purple hoodie, whose gaze was fixed directly on him.
As soon as Aryamitra looked at Ansh, he felt something strange, something familiar—as if there was a deep connection. He kept staring at Ansh, while Ansh too was staring back, lost in thought, saying to himself:
"This man… he's incredibly powerful… and he can control two elements—wind and shadow. Amazing."
After looking at Ansh for a moment, Aryamitra turned to Daksh and said,
"We should leave now. Can you stand?"
"Yes, General, absolutely," Daksh responded, standing up.
He then informed everyone that the mission was complete.
"Everyone, come together and hold each other's hands," Aryamitra commanded. Everyone walked over to stand beside Aryamitra and Daksh, joining hands.
Aryamitra raised his hand and in his deep voice said, "Skyline Drift."
Immediately, green lines appeared beneath everyone's feet, and they slowly began to rise into the air.
Everyone was amazed and excited—it was their first time experiencing something like this.
"But General Aryamitra, where are we going?" asked Incharge Daksh seriously.
Aryamitra replied:
"To the Sanrakshak Headquarters."
Hearing this, Daksh was shocked and turned to look at Aryamitra.
