Chapter 03.

"Can't they coexist with you guys?" Raj asked.

"Yes, they could. But our existence threatened their interests. Combined with other shit, we are in conflict with them." Radha replied.

"So, bro you are still taking jobs like these?" Raj laughed.

Radha raised his eyebrows and said, "Hey, what do you know! Our expectations for better conditions were always ignored. It's nearly a century and still there are no prominent changes. Now we are doing whatever we want. Look at my family, we are living a comfortable life now."

" Yeah, buy won't things change for worse if you get caught? Isn't it dangerous?" Raj was curious.

"We will take care of it when the time comes. We can't do anything now. It's better to complete our jobs." Radha replied.

"Our world is different, there is no formal government. You can live without restrictions if you can survive." Raj said.

"What's your age, little brother?" Radha asked him.

"Sixteen. And yours?" Raj asked.

"At sixteen years you're speaking about survival. Haagh, I presume life isn't much different in your world." Radha sighed. He continued,"I am older than you by six years."

"What do you mean? My world is better than here. It is difficult in its sense but still it is not the same as your world. Even the air of this world feels heavier to breathe." Raj refuted.

"I heard you guys don't need to breathe anymore," Radha was curious.

"That's nonsense. I will die if I don't breathe." Raj replied.

Radha chuckled. He said, "Anyway, if there is any problem, speak with my aunt and uncle in the future. They will take care of it. You are in a different world now. It is better to consult others if there is any need. Your father discussed with us a lot about you. We also made sufficient preparations for several of your needs."

"Okay, sorry for the trouble." Raj said.

"You can take some rest. We will have breakfast after an hour. I will wake you up then." Radha said to Raj. Then he turned his head and started speaking with his uncle.

After crossing the checkpost without any disturbance Radha relaxed and went into the truck behind to sleep.

As he was about to fall asleep, the truck applied sudden brakes and he nearly fell. A loud crash was heard from outside.

Radha got up and rushed to get off the truck as fast as he could while using his powers to manipulate the soil at the sides of the road. He jumped from the truck and then a vague protective sand cover formed around him. Pebbles and small rocks floated around him, ready to be shot.

He sensed the surroundings and had a rough number of people attacking in his mind.

He made a quick decision and dashed towards the car in front while slapping the sides of the truck hard. He shouted,"Ali, prepare miniU6."

The top corners of the truck are pushed out. Foot length robots followed in an order. They attached themselves to the truck. The robots unfolded themselves and connected in a group, a cannon with a small barrel rose to the top of the truck. Then the robots linked with the cannon.

The car was surrounded, attacks bombarded the invisible shield casted by Radha's aunt.

Sand rose to cover the road as attacks fell from the distance aimed at Radha. He dodged some attacks and punched the head of the assailant who was trying to clear the sand around him. He grabbed him and threw on the ground. He took out a gun and aimed at the head of the assailant. Pebbles entered the gun as Radha loaded the gun with his magic energy.

The assailant didn't feel any movement from the person who attacked him. He was wary and tried to dodge to his side instead of trying to get up. He just moved his hands and fell on the ground. His head was shot. Blood poured out from the hole in his head.

An air spell started dispersing the sand. As the sand starts to clear the assailants are starting to get ready to attack the protective invisible shield.

Radha's uncle moved his hands in the air as he casted a spell. The wind outside the sand cover was a mess. Radha's uncle's spell obstructed the air spell of the assailant while also disturbed many attacks from the assailants who were attacking from a distance.

The cannon on top of the truck has already begun to shoot. A small cylindrical glass tube was shot from the barrel into the distance aimed at a group of assailants. Thin metallic wires sprang into the air as soon as the glass tube was smashed. The assailants were electrocuted and entangled in them.

Radha moved to the nearby assailant who was commanding others. The assailant was shouting,"Fuck! Spray water. Make them use water spells. Send a message."

Radha aimed the gun at the heart of the commanding assailant. He shot. But the bullet failed to pierce through the heart of the commanding assailant. Radha sensed the smell of the blood dripping from the bullet wound. He couldn't guess the spirit beast that the commanding assailant used to morph. He has a very thick skin to be able to stop a bullet.

The commanding assailant furiously turned around. He rushed forward as he cursed loud enough to make a hole in radha's ear,"son of a bitch, you're dead. I will tear you apart. You're dead. I will kill you."

Radha jumped back. The sand shield around him isnt vague anymore. The commanding assailant rammed into Radha's right shoulder. The dense sand shield took the full brunt of the attack. Radha nearly lost his footing. He stabilized quickly.

Pebbles and the small rocks floating around Radha were shot at the commanding assailant. The assailant lowered his head. His hands covered the top of his lower body part. He rammed into Radha again.

The sand shield was broken through and the force from attack pushed Radha a few more step's back. Radha held his shoulders, tried to relax his breathing and concentrated to repair the sand shield as he ran to his side.
