Chapter 8 - Mist Mountain Showdown – The Unicorn Awakens

 Mission Plan

**Senior Mo:**

"Go ahead. Tell us your plan."

**Rudra** nodded, his eyes scanning the unicorn herd through the thinning mist.

"Our vision is clearer now—the mist is lifting."

**Rudra:**

"My plan is simple. We'll split into **three groups** and divide the beasts."

**Senior Kin:**

"How do we separate them?"

**Rudra:**

"With the help of **Sesh Pam's clones** and **Gan Mu's mirror technique**, we can lure the herd in different directions. While they're distracted, **Senior Mo and Senior Kin** will attack the Tier-3 unicorn."

> * **Group 1:** Gouri Mu & Sesh Pam

> * **Group 2:** Gan Mu & Parshu Si

> * **Group 3:** Senior Mo & Senior Kin

> * **Rudra:** Solo support & backup

**Rudra (firmly):**

"I don't expect all the beasts to follow the clones. Some will stay to protect their leader… , so will stay here .. 

We will do it at any cost..

**Senior Mo:**

"Then let's do it. Be careful."

### 🦄 The Hunting Begins

Two **Sesh Pam clones** and two **Gan Mu mirror copies** walked toward the herd of unicorns, standing still before them.

The unicorns' glowing eyes flared with fury.

Suddenly, the clones ran in opposite directions—and **six unicorns** broke formation to chase them.

Three beasts stayed behind, guarding the sleeping Tier-3 unicorn.

From atop a ridge, **Rudra**, **Senior Mo**, and **Senior Kin** watched silently.

**BOOM!**

The clones exploded—sending shockwaves across the field.

**Senior Mo (coldly):**

"Now. Attack."

---

### 🌀 The First Strike

**Senior Kin** unleashed her Granth. Her **Eagle Spear** spiraled with wind as she hurled it at the sleeping unicorn with full force.

**Wind Spear!**

The spear sliced through the air, a tornado swirling behind it.

But—**one of the guarding unicorns** leapt in front and clashed horns with the attack.

**BOOM!**

The wind shattered the beast's defense, blasting it backward—**severely wounded**.

The **Tier-3 unicorn** jolted awake. Its eyes burned with chaos.

The other two beasts rushed to protect their leader.

**Rudra's Lightning Blade** flashed to life.

**Rudra:**

"Go. Kill that beast. I'll handle these two."

**Senior Kin:**

"Be careful."

---

### 🌑 Shadow & Wind Assault

**Senior Mo's Shadow Cuts** activated—he vanished like fog, slashing the Tier-3 beast from every direction.

**Senior Kin** danced through the air like a storm—her strikes came from above and behind.

The beast roared, unleashing a **gravity field** that knocked both attackers back.

Their spiritual energy was nearly drained.

But something strange happened—**spiritual energy surged around the unicorn**, forming a storm of raw elemental power.

### ⚡ Rudra's Fierce Duel

Meanwhile, **Rudra** was facing the two Tier-2 beasts alone.

One charged at him—he leapt and hit it midair with **Fire Fist**.

The other rammed him from the side—he tumbled through the air.

As the second beast dashed again, Rudra dodged with **Lightning Steps**, igniting both fists.

They clashed again and again—**fire and lightning vs. horn and fury**.

After minutes of dodging and countering, Rudra fell—his body bleeding, limbs bruised.

**Rudra (thinking):**

"If this keeps up... I'll die here. I need to end this—now!"

One unicorn prepared a deadly **Horn Thrust**.

Rudra jumped on the other beast—**Fire Fist to the face!**

Then, using **Lightning Steps**, he appeared behind it and slashed its chest with **Lightning Blade**.

The second beast charged—Rudra poured all his energy into one final **Fire Fist**.

**BOOM!**

An explosion of fire and lightning lit up the mist.

### 🪨 Group 1 – Gouri & Sesh Pam

Before the clones exploded—

**Sesh Pam:**

"They're coming. Get ready."

As the three beasts chased their decoys, the clones turned and used **Rock Fist Explosion**—the blasts stunned the herd.

**Gouri Mu:**

"Now!"

She formed a swirling wind sphere between her hands—

**Wind Razors!**

Hundreds of wind slashes shot out, cutting down one beast instantly.

The other two rushed forward.

**Sesh Pam** summoned **Levitating Stones**—three floating barriers.

Two were shattered—but the third smashed into the unicorns, giving them an opening.

Together, they activated their techniques—**Wind Blades** and **Rocky Fists**—and brought the final beasts down.

---

### 🌊 Group 2 – Gan Mu & Parshu Si

**Gan Mu:**

"Get ready."

The clones lured the unicorns forward.

**Parshu Si** unleashed **Blending Spear**—a direct hit dropped one beast instantly.

**Gan Mu:**

"Tidal Sweep!"

A sweeping water wave crashed through the herd, and the clones self-destructed.

The beasts were heavily damaged.

**Gan Mu:**

"Water Razors!"

**Parshu Si:**

"Light Arrow!"

Their combo decimated the remaining unicorns. They collected the elemental stones and rushed back.

---

### 🔥 Rudra's Breakthrough

The smoke cleared—Rudra and the final unicorn clashed one last time, pushing against each other.

**Fire Fist vs. Horn Charge.**

Suddenly—Rudra's spiritual energy erupted.

**💥 BREAKTHROUGH!**

**6th Chakra Gate Unlocked.**

He roared, pushing the beast back, and delivered a devastating flame punch—**killing it instantly.**

But he fell to his knees—exhausted, injured.

Even at 6th gate, his body was still weaker—he hadn't cultivated properly for two years. ( Because of his mental condition)

He clenched his fist.

**Rudra (thinking):**

"I'm not done. I'll catch up… no matter what."

....

The others reached him—just as **Senior Mo and Kin** stared ahead in horror.

The Tier-3 unicorn, battered but al

ive—suddenly **roared** as elemental energy surrounded it.

Its body expanded. Mist swirled violently. Power crackled around its form.

**It was evolving… into a Tier-4 beast.**
