Chereads / Aveksya / Chapter 4 - Kimpurushas

Chapter 4 - Kimpurushas

The cave was shrouded in darkness, with only faint traces of light filtering in from the waterfall behind him. As his eyes adjusted, they caught sight of something that sent shivers down his spine. The cave was inhabited by 'Kimpurushas,' strange and sinister creatures that dwelled in the depths of 'Vanya Van.' Kimpurushas are the army of goblins.

A group of goblins, dressed in tattered garments, surrounded Abhay. Their yellow eyes gleamed with malice, and they chittered to each other in a guttural language. Abhay's heart raced, but he remained unyielding. He had faced terrors before, and he would do so again.

The goblins seemed ready for a fight, but Abhay showed no fear. In a flash, he drew his sword,, its gleaming edge reflecting the scant light within the cave. The goblins lunged at him with savage intent, but Abhay was faster, his blade finding its mark with deadly precision.

A fierce battle ensued, Abhay's every movement a dance of calculated violence. His skill with the sword was undeniable, and the goblins fell one by one. With each swing of his sword, he chiseled a path deeper into the cave.

As the last goblin fell, the cave fell silent, the only sound the soft murmur of the distant waterfall. Abhay had emerged victorious, standing amidst the lifeless bodies of his grotesque adversaries.

As the last of the goblins fell beneath Abhay's relentless onslaught, he took a moment to catch his breath, wiping sweat from his brow. The cave was filled with eerie silence, broken only by the faint sound of dripping water echoing off the damp walls. Abhay's heart still raced from the intense battle, but he couldn't help feeling a surge of pride and accomplishment.

But his triumph was short-lived.

Suddenly, from the shadows, more goblins emerged. They swarmed him from all sides, a relentless tide of malevolent creatures. Abhay realized, with a sinking feeling, that he had been lured deeper into the cave, right into their trap. His keen warrior's instincts had failed him.

As the goblins closed in, their sinister chittering grew louder and more chaotic. Abhay fought with all his might, but the sheer number of attackers overwhelmed him. The battle raged on, and it seemed there was no end to the goblins pouring forth from the dark recesses of the cave.

Then, emerging from the midst of the horde, Abhay saw a towering figure, unlike any goblin he had ever encountered. This monstrous goblin was twice his size, with bulging muscles and a cruel, knowing grin on its grotesque face. It was clear that this creature was their leader "Kimpurusha" the king of goblins, the mastermind behind the ambush.

Abhay's heart sank as he faced the colossal goblin, a daunting adversary even for a skilled warrior like himself. The battle was far from over, and the odds were now stacked heavily against him. But Abhay, though surprised and outnumbered, was not one to back down from a challenge. With his determination unbroken, he steeled himself for the fight of his life, knowing that his survival depended on defeating this monstrous goblin and making his way out of this treacherous trap in the heart of the cave.
