There was often a debate as to what really made a great warrior?
Was it the relentless hours of training?
The natural talent and confidence?
Was it courage and bravery?
If one chose any of the above answers they would have been wrong as per Karna, as the moments that made a great warrior in his point of view were moments of clutch where the chances of success seemed so abysmal that only a miracle could see the warrior come through.
As Karna watched the black sun descend it was exactly the thought running through his mind as the heat and and power of the attack was so destructive that eventhough he was standing 2 blocks away and the attack had not even fully hit the ground yet , there was a meteor size sizzling crater in the vicinity of the attack while the total radius of destruction spanned for over 5 killometers.
