Chapter 8 - THE HISTORY

Aaryan entered the section, surrounded by books on both sides. The bookshelves were really tall, almost twice his height. Aaryan murmured under his breath "If the answers exist, they are in these books! The Library of Shimla!"

He grabs three books and places them on the long reading table in the middle and sits on the bench. He just grabs one of them and opens it.

Rishi and Manav are walking through the forest. Rishi looks at Manav and asks "So, what would your power level be?"

Manav thinks for a moment and answers "Somewhere around 200! I haven't really performed that well. My younger brother was a prodigy, far superior in talent when he became a warrior. May his soul find peace!"

Rishi nods and then stops in the path. He looks right at Manav. Manav looks back at him confused for a moment and then sighs "I guess I have no choice, huh?"

Rishi smirks "Absolutely not! Bring it!"

Manav turns towards Rishi and tightens his muscles, a bright red aura engulfs him. Rishi tightens his muscles as well, a red aura burning like a fire around him.

Rishi takes a few steps back before charging right at Manav, their arms collide. Manav pushes a punch, Rishi blocks it. Rishi pushes a punch, Manav blocks it. Rishi jumps, pushes his kick forward, Manav grabs his foot, grabs his arm, swings him around and throws him into a tree. Rishi goes through a tree, shattering it.

He gets up immediately and comes charging at Manav. Manav manages to block the first three attacks, he then pushes a kick from the side, Rishi blocks it with his leg and pushes his foot above, tripping Manav, aiming for his head. Rishi kicks Manav across the head. Manav ends up flat on the ground. He looks right up at Rishi, lifts his legs up and kicks himself back to feet.

Before Rishi can notice, Manav manages to get down, place his hand on the ground, lift both his legs up. Rishi manages to block the kick, Manav rotates his legs, kicks Rishi across the other side of the face.

As Manav gets back to his feet, Rishi stands back up straight tall. He looks right at Manav and smirks. He closes his eyes and focuses. Then opens them again.

His red aura slowly disappears, then very slowly, a new aura appears, bright blue in color. Rishi stands there tall with a bright blue aura. The moonlight seemed to be caressing his energy. Manav's eyes narrow, his lips curl into a smirk. He mentions "I never expected you to do this so quickly. Consider me impressed."

Rishi smirks back "I supposed you want to end the fight? Just touching you might be fatal for you at this p-" He is unable to complete before getting interrupted.

"Bring it!" Manav smirks "I can handle it!"

Rishi's eyes narrow "Are you sure? This could kill you!"

Manav asserts "I said I can handle it. Bring it!"

Rishi takes a deep breath and covers the distance between himself and Manav in an instant, Manav's eyes widen. Rishi's punch comes tearing through the air, Manav blocks it with his hand. Rishi's eyes widen, he utters "You should be dead by now!"

Manav smirks "Consider it a gift of god! You and Aaryan are the only ones who know about this!"

Manav pulls his punch back, his fist starts glowing with an extra dense red light, his eyes glow brighter, he pushes his fist through the air. The fist is faster than a bullet, tearing through the air, pushing it aside, almost causing the sound of an explosion. Rishi's fingers wrap around the wrist. Manav's eyes widen. Rishi stands there, with Manav's powerful punch blocked by his hands.

"The Blue Energy truly is much more powerful than Red Energy! You are fighting a warrior with the power of a werewolf! This was to be expected!" Rishi uttered, his eyes looked serious, more intense.

His fist went flying through the air, hitting Manav right on the ribs. Manav was sent flying, causing a massive shockwave, pushing the trees back, the dust in the air, the trees flat on the ground. Manav hits so many trees and goes through them, only stopping after a small distance. He grunts due to the broken bones and falls to his knees. Slowly, he gets back to his feet and looks at Rishi standing there with the Blue Aura.

Manav's lips curl into a smirk, a smirk of a psycho. He utters "This should do!"

Aaryan's eyes narrow as he reads the word "Rayan Shah! The leader of the black thread cult! Missing since 200 years."

His lips curl into a smirk as he utters "Found you! You son of a b-"

The phone starts ringing. Manav pushes his hand into the bag and pulls out the phone as both Rishi and himself sit there to rest. He picks up the phone, talks to Aaryan for a minute and hangs up. He then looks at Rishi and mentions "Get ready! We have some targets to hunt down!"
