Up in Himalayas,
Angkarasur the new king of Asurlok was doing penance to please Lord Brahma. In every era, the Asuras did penance to please the tridev and with their boons, they tried to attack Swarglok. But this time Angkarasur's motive was completely different. He knew that if he attacked swarglok then the Devas would go to the tridev for help and the asuras would be defeated.
But this time, influenced by Kali, Angkarasur wanted to destroy the dharm on earth prior to Kaliyuga. With the rise of adharm, mother earth would be imbalanced which in turn would reduce the power of Devas in Swarg. Even the Devas depended on man's devotion for some percentage of their powers. This time he would spread adharm all over the world and it would automatically make the Gods weak. But for that, he had to be immortal so that no one could defeat him.
Angkarasur (chanting) "Om Namo Brahmdevaya, Om Namo Brahmdevaya''
He was chanting Lord Brahma's name relentlessly for many years. His tapasya became so powerful that its energy created massive friction causing sprinkle of fire around him. Then Lord Bhrama came in front of him.
Lord Brahma "Son Bhayankarasur, open your eyes. I am happy with your penance. Ask me anything as a boon except immortality.''
Angkarasur ''O my Lord, I am happy that you came. I know that you cannot give me immortality, so I will ask for something else. Give me a boon that I will be killed by a person who is neither God nor mortal, not a Dev neither an Asur. Whose birth is a sin, but he is as pure as Devi Ganga. Who has the blessings of all Navagraha's ? I will be killed only when that person wields the weapons that none of God's possess and those weapons can touch me only when they are acknowledged by the powers of all Trivedi's."
Lord Brahma ''Tathashtu''.
Angkarasur (in mind) 'In this world, no one can fulfill all those conditions together. Even if Lord Vishnu takes an Avatar, he will still be a mortal. Even if there are some demi-gods present on earth, there is no one who can have such a weapon. Ha, Ha I am an immortal now. No one can defeat me.'
Lord Brahma (in mind), 'Angkarasur nothing is impossible in this earth. Everything that happens here is all previously designed by destiny. Now I know why Lord Narayan wanted a Devputra to born from a mortal women's womb. Angkarasur you called your own death today.'
Meanwhile in Champa nagri,
Life was going on as usual in Adhirath's house. Srivastav was doing everything to please his mother. He did almost all the household works, took care of his siblings but Radha was still behaving rudely with him. Though feeling sad, he still did not show his pain.
He genuinely considered Radha as his mother but she blindly believed her in-laws Renumati and Vikram but little did she know that they were her biggest enemy. Her children died during birth because of them as they had a tantric who well versed helped them do black magic on Radha's unborn.
Their main goal was to ensure that Adhirath did not get any heir and all the ancestral property they had should go to their sons. But their plan failed when Adhirath brought that Vasusen home. After that tried very hard to harm Adhirath's family but nothing could be done. That tantric said that Karna was like a shield and as long as he was there no one can harm Adhirath's family. So now they were poisoning Radha's mind against Karna.
"Radha, how could you tolerate that b*****d near your kids; "said Renumati.
''What am I supposed to do Jiji, Arya is not ready to hear a single word against him and he will still a child. I cannot just abandon him'' sighed Radha.
''If you allowed continuing this one-day Anuj Adhirath will give all his property to that adopted Vasusen'' said Vikram.
''No, I will not let that happen'' cried Radha.
''Then do one thing, I know a tantric and he can remove that boy from your life,'' said Renumati as she secretly sprinkle some ash.
Radha unsure ''Is that so? Okay please take me to that Babaji. I will do anything to ensure my kid's safety.''
Little did she know, she herself was endangering her kid's life. The tantric knew that Karna had a pure aura, for which he could not harm Shon but if someone from the household invited the evil force inside their house then that evil spirit can kill the entire family. That is why Renumati and Vikram decided to take Radha to the Tantrik.
Next day, making up her mind, Radha called Vasu and ordered him to hunt a katsuri deer for some guest that are about to attend house before next new moon night. She also gave him specified condition that are need to be followed by Karna to maintain the quality of deer. Karna following her orders soon left the house with Gaurav on his shoulder and his self made Archery set. Radha soon completing her daily chores and visited the tantric along her in laws.
The tantric asked Radha to do some rituals and told her ''Putri, take this enchanted doll to your house, on the moon night break this doll inside the house and then the enemy of yours will be removed from your life.''
Actually he trapped an evil spirit inside the doll. Once the doll was broken, the freed spirit would kill anyone inside the house.
New moon night
Radha was in a dilemma. She knew whatever she was doing was wrong, but her poisoned controlled mind was preventing her from thinking clearly. In the middle of the cold night when everyone was asleep, she got up from the bed and broke the doll quietly. Suddenly a black smoke came out from the doll and engulfed the entire house. Then she heard her child's cry.
She ran towards their room and whatever she saw created a chilling wave in her spine. Both her kid and her husband were crying in pain. It seemed like someone was choking them. Radha herself felt severe pain in her body. Hearing their cries Karna who had just returned, came inside ''Maa, Pitashree, what happened? Why are you crying?''
Previously with Srivastav after Radha ordered him days ago,
'Finally an opportunity presented itself. While Mata is still rude with me, it seems that the opportunity that I was looking myself to leave my place to go in seclusion finally came. Man, for so many days I was trying to leave but some of the other reason ,it came to an halt. It's also a bonus that I received another mission.' thought Srivastav as he walked into the deeps of the wood while his little eagle brother is inspecting the surrounding for the trace of herds of katsuri deers.
After hours of travel into deep of the wood, Karna came to a stop felling it was enough secluded. The system screen invisible to all popped up showing him the system mission.

With this, Karna felt a sharp pain as if his mind is splitting in half. Thought his healing factor is working and constantly healing him, the pain was still hardly bearable. The vast life experience and knowledge from template replayed in his mind and body started going through tearing or breaking in order to adapt.
It took nearly a complete hour or so for the sharp pain to end. Meanwhile, Gaurav ideally stayed by his side keeping an eye on surrounding while he was on his knees trying to hold his screems.
'Huff Huffff!!!! Finally it ended. From next time ,there is no way I am doing that again. But it seems no pain, no gain. Bearing the pain , l really lucked out on getting this template. Through none of it is mastered, I already fell great enough to almost fight a war by myself. Thought I still can't use advance things as my body is still and it may damage or put strains to my body, beginner will still do for now. Let's take a single step at a time.'
Srivastav picked himself up and sat down under a tree to meditate in order to clear his thoughts and use Madara's knowledge to open his Chakra paths.
Somewhere in the mountain ranges was situated namely Mountain Mahendragiri.
A Brahmin Sage was doing meditation and an Axe so divine like air itself is being cut by it was next to him. He was wearing a white dhoti and his long white which was tied up. There was no cloth on his upper muscular body.
Suddenly Brahmin's eyes shot open as he mutters something under his breath rapidly while stretching out his hand like wanting to hold the air itself.
"It's gone, But how?"
Brahmin was confused and was thinking about many possibilities which can cause something like this.
"Only Mahadev can take it back from me, But he will at least say something to me about it. Then the only possibility left is-" 'No but could it be, Even Lord Shiva stopped trying to make a soul pact with her(Vijaya Dhanush) because she(Vijaya Dhanush) threatened him(Lord Shiva) that she will break at which will half destroy the concept of victory itself.'
Then Brahmin had only one option left which was-
"Om Namah Shivaya, Om Namah Shivaya, Om Namah Shivaya "
Brahmin sat on the ground again(Which even he didn't know when he stand up from his position), Closed his eyes, And started chanting mantras to call Mahadev/Lord Shiva.
Just after a minute, An ethereal voice held the beginning and the end but was still playful.
"Open your eyes Parshu Dhari"
Brahmin opened his eyes and saw Lord Shiva floating in the sky with an everlasting smile on his face.
"Say what you want from me Parshu Dhari"
Brahmin also smiled while shaking his head left and right.
"Mahadev, You must be joking. Because is there that you don't know about."
Lord Shiva just smiled at the comment and said innocently-
"When you don't say about it, How could I know?"
"Mahadev, It's about the bow. Please tell me that you took it back for something."
Brahmin wanted to know the answer while hoping to hear 'Yes' from Mahadev.
"No~ And you know the answer to that question, You just don't want to admit the truth."
"But when even you failed to make the pact then who can make it."
"And who said that I am perfect, You should know that even gods are not perfect just like humans. Which you had experienced so many times. Then why the denial?"
Lord Shiva just like always started explaining to Brahmin like a guru helping his Shishya to understand something.
"T-Then who is it, Can you tell me so that I could teach him the ways of it."
"In all due time Parshu Dhari, In all due time."
"Goodbye for now."
Lord Shiva vanished from the sky like wind, Leaving the Brahmin still curious about the person. Who made the pact with A weapon when even lord shiva was unsuccessful in it?
"Hurry whoever you are I'm waiting for you."
