Rudra stood still, his senses sharpening. He could feel it again—the cold, suffocating presence of the Hundred-Soul Demon. It was watching, waiting in the shadows of 3000 BC.
Isha walked up to him, noticing his intense expression. "Rudra, what is it? What are you feeling?"
Rudra turned to her. In the middle of the tension, he looked into her eyes and said softly, "I love you."
Isha froze, caught off guard. A blush crept up her neck. "Sorry... but is now really the time for this?" she whispered with a shy smile.
"Where is Pravalika?" Rudra asked, getting back to business.
"She's in the side room, preparing," Isha replied.
Rudra immediately called for the General of the ancient army. "I have discovered a skill that everyone here can learn," Rudra announced. The General's eyes widened with curiosity. "What is this skill, Rudra? I want to learn it too!"
"It is called Aura Wave," Rudra explained. "It can freeze an enemy in their tracks. If the enemy is weak, they die instantly. But the power depends on the color of your soul's energy."
The Ranking of Aura Wave:
Level 4 (Blue): The basic level of power.
Level 3 (Green): One Green Aura is equal to 100 Blue Auras.
Level 2 (Purple): One Purple Aura is equal to 1,000 Green Auras.
Level 1 (Red): One Red Aura is equal to 100,000 Purple Auras.
The Forbidden Level (Black): Achievement of this is rare. 100 million Red Auras equal one Black Aura. A person with Black Aura can kill 100,000 demons in a single second while remaining invisible.
"To learn this," Rudra instructed the soldiers, "you must shed your ego—symbolized by your armor—and pray to Kali Ma for divine strength."
Isha leaned in, curious. "Rudra, what color is yours?"
Rudra's eyes turned pitch black for a second. "Black," he replied calmly.
The training began. Out of the massive army:
99,991 soldiers unlocked the basic Aura Wave.
999 achieved the Blue Aura.
80 achieved Green.
5 achieved Purple.
6 members of Rudra's core group achieved the legendary Red Aura.
Suddenly, a scout rushed in, trembling. "Sir! Millions of demons are approaching! And... they are using the Aura Wave too!"
Rudra gripped his weapon, his Black Aura beginning to leak out, shaking the ground. Isha unsheathed her blade and looked at him with a smirk. "Okay BavaThe battlefield of 3000 BC was suffocating under the weight of 20 million demons. At the center stood the Hundred-Soul Demon, laughing as he locked the dimensions, trapping Rudra's team in a spiritual cage.
Rudra didn't flinch. "You think you can trap me? I am the cage!" he roared.
With a violent surge, Rudra unleashed his Black Aura. The dark energy erupted like a volcano, spreading across the horizon. The Hundred-Soul Demon froze in terror. "This pressure... why does it feel like Prasad's aura?" Even from a distance, Shivaji felt the tremors and stood stunned.
Thousands of demons didn't even get a chance to scream; they were instantly crushed into dust by the sheer weight of the Black Aura. "How could these idiots think they could kill me?" Rudra sneered, flexing his power.
The Hundred-Soul Demon panicked and opened a spiritual gate, turning himself into an intangible ghost. Rudra's physical attacks passed right through him, and for a moment, Rudra was trapped in a soul-binding loop. They fought—spirit against power—neither able to deliver a killing blow.
"Isha! Tell Subash to use it now!" Rudra shouted.
Subash stepped forward, his eyes glowing with a sinister hunger. He unleashed his secret skill: Soul Consumption. He began to literally eat the spirits forming the demon's shield. As the souls were devoured, the demon's real body was exposed. Rudra didn't waste a millisecond—he added his aura to his blade and hacked the demon's physical form into pieces.
Just as the demon tried to escape in a new form, a sudden change occurred. Prasad's spirit took over Rudra's body. Rudra's eyes changed, his posture became regal and terrifying. "Go!" the voice within him commanded. Now possessed by the legendary Prasad, Rudra began chasing the fleeing demon army like a lion hunting wounded sheep.
"How could these idiots ever hope to defeat us?" Prasad's voice boomed through Rudra's throat as the slaughter began.... let's go and fight!"
