'''Damn!!!''' Karna blinked, momentarily disoriented by the sudden interruption. He looked around, realizing that he was still in the peaceful grove, but Krishna's divine presence had faded away.
As he gathered his thoughts, Karna couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude and determination.
He knew that Krishna's words and the gift of the Sudarshan Chakra held immense significance for his journey ahead. He would carry the wisdom and responsibility bestowed upon him with unwavering devotion.
As Karna approached the village, he noticed the children he had met earlier still playing near the riverbank. Their laughter and joy reminded him of the innocence and purity that he sought to protect in Shaurya and all the children of the world.
Karna smiled as he watched the children, knowing that their happiness and well-being would be his driving force. He would do everything in his power to ensure that their future, and the future of the world, remained bright and filled with hope.
With his heart filled with love, purpose, and the Sudarshan Chakra in his possession, Karna embraced his destiny as the guardian of Shaurya. The journey ahead would be arduous, but he was ready to face any trials that came his way.
As the sun began to set, casting a warm golden glow over Vrindavan, Karna took a deep breath. He started slowly walking towards home while remembering the system notification and Indrajit's surprised voice.
'Artemis, Can you show me that notification from earlier.'
[Of Course]
[Congratulations host for getting the boon, Sudarshana Chakra (Sealed State)]
[Name: Sudarshana Chakra]
[Type: Divine Weapon]
[Grade: EX-(Sealed State)]
[Description: The Sudarshana Chakra is a powerful divine weapon that possesses immense destructive capabilities. In its sealed state, its true power is suppressed, but even then, it remains a formidable weapon. When unleashed, it can cut through anything in its path and is said to be invincible.
The Sudarshana Chakra is not only a weapon of physical destruction but also possesses spiritual significance. It represents the eternal cosmic wheel and symbolizes the cycle of life and death. It is a manifestation of divine protection and justice.]
As Karna read the description of the Sudarshana Chakra, he couldn't help but feel a surge of awe and reverence. The weapon he now possessed was not only a tool for physical destruction but also held deep symbolic meaning.
The mention of the Sudarshana Chakra representing the cycle of life and death resonated with Karna.
It reminded him of the transient nature of existence and the importance of upholding righteousness in every action. The responsibility of wielding such a powerful weapon weighed heavily on his young shoulders.
""Hey Karna what happened when I was sleeping for just 4-5 months?""
'Wait, I will just let you see for yourself from my memories.'
Karna closed his eyes and allowed his memories to flow into the consciousness of Indrajit. In an instant, the events that had transpired over the past few months unfolded before Indrajit's eyes.
Indrajit witnessed Karna's encounter with Kali to Chaos Beast and threat to the King of Panchal and finally, his meeting with Krishna and the acquisition of the Sudarshana Chakra.
The weight of Karna's journey and the significance of his newfound weapon became clear to Indrajit as he absorbed the memories.
Indrajit was astonished as he watched the memories unfold. He could feel Karna's determination, and his unwavering commitment to protect the innocent and uphold righteousness.
The trials and challenges that Karna had faced only strengthened his resolve, and Indrajit felt a deep sense of pride and admiration for the young boy.
As the memories came to an end, Indrajit opened his eyes and looked at Karna with a mix of awe and respect. "Karna, I... I had no idea. Your journey and your struggles are truly remarkable. You have grown into an extraordinary individual."
Karna smiled warmly at Indrajit's words. "Thank you, my friend. I appreciate your support and understanding. I believe that every experience, no matter how challenging, has shaped me into who I am today. And now, with the Sudarshana Chakra in my possession, I am more determined than ever to fulfil my purpose."
Indrajit said with his voice filled with admiration. "I do not doubt that you will succeed, Karna. You possess the strength, the wisdom, and the heart of a true hero. I am honoured to be a part of your journey."
Karna's eyes shimmered with gratitude. "And I am grateful for your presence, Indrajit."
As he made his way back home, He noticed fear and anxiety lingering within the village. The people whispered about a bandit group that had been terrorizing nearby towns and villages. The bandits were ruthless and caused great suffering to the innocent.
And that bandit group just entered the village are making their way towards the village centre. Without hesitation, Karna quickened his pace, heading towards the village centre where the bandits were headed.
As he arrived, he could see the chaos unfolding. The bandits, armed and menacing, were instilling fear in the villagers, looting and causing harm.
Karna stood tall, his eyes filled with determination.
"Stop right there!" Karna's voice echoed with authority as he stepped forward, his gaze fixed on the bandits. "Your reign of terror ends here!"
The bandits turned their attention to Karna, their initial confidence wavering as they heard a powerful voice but when they saw Karna who was just a kid, Some of them laughed mockingly.
"What's this? A little boy trying to play hero?" one of the bandits sneered. "You're in way over your head, kid."
Karna stood his ground, undeterred by the bandits' mocking words. He knew that his age and appearance might deceive them, but he also knew that true strength lay within one's character and resolve.
With a calm yet unwavering voice, Karna responded, "Do not mistake my youth for weakness. I am here to protect the innocent and uphold justice. Surrender peacefully, and you will be shown mercy."
The bandits exchanged glances, some amused by Karna's words, while others felt a hint of uncertainty. They had faced many opponents before, but a young child with such confidence was a new experience for them.
One of the bandit leaders, a burly man with a scar across his face, stepped forward, grinning maliciously. "Well, well, aren't you a brave one? But let me tell you, boy, we don't back down so easily. We've dealt with stronger opponents than you. If you think you can stop us, you're sorely mistaken,"
Then he turned to another fellow bandit by his side and said, "Kill this little brat. Show everyone what happens to those who dare to challenge us."
The bandit approached Karna, a wicked smirk on his face.
Karna's voice carried an air of confidence as he responded to the bandit. "You think you can kill me huh, Who decided that?"
'AHHHHHHH!!! I wanted to say that line for some time now.'
With a swift movement, Karna summoned Divine Axe Rhitta and gripped it firmly in his hand. The axe radiated with a divine glow, its presence commanding respect and awe. The bandits took a step back, momentarily taken aback by the sudden display of power.
Karna's voice resonated with authority as he spoke, "I decide my fate, and I decide the fate of those who bring harm to the innocent. This village deserves peace, and I will ensure that you no longer pose a threat."
With a single swing of Divine Axe Rhitta, Karna unleashed its immense power. The axe cleaved through the air, slicing through the bandit's weapon effortlessly and striking true. The bandit let out a cry of pain as he fell to the ground, defeated.
The other bandits stared in disbelief, their arrogance replaced with fear. Karna's resolve and his formidable weapon had proven to be more than they had anticipated.
"I gave you a chance to surrender peacefully," Karna declared, his voice unwavering. "But you chose the path of violence. Now face the consequences."
Karna charged towards the remaining bandits, his movements were swift and precise. Each swing of Divine Axe Rhitta sent shockwaves through the air, creating a powerful force that incapacitated his enemies.
The bandits, overwhelmed by Karna's strength and unwavering resolve, soon found themselves defeated and disarmed.
(A/N: Of course, he didn't use full power against these bandits.)
As the dust settled and silence filled the air, the villagers emerged from their hiding places, their faces filled with a mixture of relief and admiration.
They gathered around Karna, grateful for his bravery and inspired by his unwavering commitment to protecting them.
Karna looked at the villagers, a soft smile on his face. "Fear not, for you are safe now. These bandits will trouble you no more."
The villagers cheered, their voices resonating with gratitude and admiration.
They saw in Karna a true hero, someone who had risked his life to defend the innocent and bring justice to those who sought to harm them.
[Ding...]
Karna's attention was drawn to the sound of the notification. Curious, he accessed the notification through his mind.
[Quest Completed: Defeat the Bandit Group]
[Rewards: Villagers' Gratitude and Respect]
Karna felt a sense of satisfaction as he read the quest completion notification. The villagers' gratitude and respect were rewards far more meaningful to him than any material gain.
He knew that his actions had made a difference in their lives and had brought them a renewed sense of safety and hope.
With the bandit threat eliminated, Karna continued on his way home as the villagers thanked him and bid him farewell.
As he reached home, The atmosphere of the home was cheerful and filled with warmth like always, Radha Maa (Mother) welcome Karna with a loved-filled hug. and a smile that reached her eyes. "Welcome back, my dear Karna. let's go and eat something."
And as the sun set on Vrindavan, Karna retired to his room, he drifted off to sleep, Karna cherished the peacefulness of the moment, grateful for the blessings he had received today.
