In the darkness of the night, Aryan and Leena left the forest and headed towards the village. The battle that was to come could change their lives forever.
Reaching the outskirts of the village, Aryan and Leena hid and waited for the bandits to come. It was dark night and only the dim light of the moon was shining in the sky. There was silence in the village, except for the occasional barking of dogs.
"They usually come around midnight. There must be about twenty of them, all armed and brutal," Leena whispered.
Aryan nodded seriously. Fighting off twenty bandits was no easy task, especially in the dark of night. However, by combining his "Heavenly Thunder Sword" skills and Lina's jungle warfare techniques, he could hope for victory.
Soon after, the flickering glow of torches was seen from a distance. Aryan and Leena hid behind the trees, holding their breathStarted waiting for the bandits to come closer.
The bandits approached the village. They advanced, brandishing weapons and shouting loudly. Their leader, a giant man dressed in heavy armor, was walking in the front.
"We will plunder this village tonight!" roared the leader. "Let no one dare oppose us!"
This was the signal for Aryan and Leena to take action. Leena swiftly jumped out of the tree and aimed like an archer and shot an arrow into the shoulder of one of the bandits. The bandit screamed.
Got up and fell to the ground.
Startled by the sudden attack, the rest of the bandits looked around. Aryan came out from behind the trees and shouted loudly, "You will not hurt the villagers!"
The bandit leader looked at Aryan and roared in anger. "Who are you?"
"I am your worst nightmare!" Aryan replied and charged forward using the "Heavenly Thunder Sword" technique. Golden light glowed around Aryan's sword as if it would cut everything in front of it into two pieces.Then the leader of the bandits ordered his men to kill Aryan. All of them were of martial body level, none of them could match Aryan.
Then Aryan put his inner powers into his sword due to which the sword started shining even more, then he shouted loudly, the first level of Heavenly Thunder Sword, as soon as he said so, light came out from his sword and it cut down all the people coming in his way in one go.
Then Leena fired her arrows at the remaining men, killing all the remaining people. This made the leader of the bandits very angry. He roared loudly and then a martial master's aura started coming out of him. Aryan was very surprised to see this. When Reena saw his aura, she got scared and quickly told Aryan to move away from there.
But it didn't matter to Aryan, he looked very excited, then Aryan put his sword in his space ring and he snapped his fingers and then he started looking towards the leader of the bandits, seeing his arrogant eyes, the leader of the bandits started moving towards Aryan, then he closed his eyes, after that a 7 foot black ghor appeared behind him, which was his martial spirit.But Aryan did not take it seriously, he could have practiced other martial arts here as well. Ever since he learned both the martial arts, he never got a chance to fight.
Then Aryan pointed his finger towards the leader and said Cloud Finger. As soon as Aryan did this, a very powerful wave came out and hit the leader. As soon as the wave hit him, his armor turned into dust and his sign turned into a ball. After a few moments, that man fell straight down.
At this time, the leader of the Lena bandits was very shocked and he could not understand what happened to him in his last moments. After his death, the leader's eyes opened in shock.
At this time, it wasn't only the robber who was surprised, Leena and Aryan were also shocked. Aryan knew that Cloud Finger was powerful, but he didn't know that he was this powerful.
Then he calmed himself down. And looked at Leena and said what are you still doing there. As soon as Aryan said this, Leena came out of her thoughts and then she went and checked the leader, he was dead.
Leena heaved a sigh of relief. She informed the village head.
ran towards the village to do so. Soon, some villagers brought torchesThey brought them and surrounded the battlefield with scary faces.
The head of the village, an old man, thanked Aryan. "You saved us, young man!" he said. "You are the real protector of the forest."
Aryan smiled politely. "It was my job."
After some time, Aryan went towards the forest. Leena was following him.
"You did a great job, Aryan," she said. "You are a great warrior."
"You're amazing too, Leena," Aryan said with a smile. "Without you, I wouldn't have been able to defeat those bandits."
They walked in silence for a while. Finally, Aryan asked, "Where are your parents? Do they also live in this Gupta Empire?"
Lina's face turned sad. "My parents are dead," she said in a low voice. "They were killed by bandits when I was very young."
"I'm so sorry," Aryan said sympathetically."That's why I'm determined to protect the forest," Lena continued. "I don't want anyone else to suffer like this."
Aryan touched his shoulder. "Don't worry," he said. "I will help you. Together we will protect the forest."
Lina looked at him gratefully. A new bond had been formed between them, a bond of fighting and protecting the forest together.
A few days later, Leena told Aryan that she had to go to the Gupta Empire to inform her leader about the bandits' attack. She had to gather information about under whose orders the bandits were working.
Aryan took Leena to the entrance of the secret kingdom. They were in an isolated part of the forest, surrounded by dense trees and plants. Leena told him that the entrance is hidden at all times and is activated through a complex series of magical spells and markings.
Closing her eyes for a moment, Lena began to chant mantras. Her voice was quiet and melodious, but a certain energy began to resonate in the air. A glowing mist began to form between the trees, slowly opening a door to a giant rock.Aryan kept looking in surprise. He had never seen a magical entrance before. Leena looked at him with a smile.
"Come," she said. "You're the first outsider I'm ever bringing into the Secret Empire."
Aryan hesitated a bit, but then followed Leena through the rock door. The door closed behind them, and they descended into a dark tunnel.
The tunnel was cold and damp. There was a cold stone surface under their feet. Leena lit a small lamp, which made strange markings appear on the walls of the tunnel.
After walking for a while, they reached a huge chamber. The chamber was lit up with glowing torches, and the walls were covered in amazing graffiti. The graffiti depicted ancient battles, powerful wizards, and strange creatures.
There was a large fountain in the middle of the room, with a glowing crystal at its center. There were many people gathered around the fountain. They were all dressed in ancient robes and their faces reflected wisdom and peace.
Aryan felt as if he had come back to some ancient times. These people were completely different from the ordinary people of the village. There was a sense of mystery and power on their faces.Leena led Aryan to an old man with white hair and a long beard. The man looked at Aryan seriously.
"Lena," he said in a low voice. "Who is it?"
"This is Aryan, leader," Leena replied. "He is the protector of the forest and he helped me fend off a bandit attack recently."
The leader looked at Aryan from head to toe. "It is not customary to bring outsiders into the Gupta Empire," he said.
"But Aryan has protected us, leader," Leena said politely. "He can be helpful in our fight against the bandits."
The leader was silent for a while. Finally, he said, "Very well. We are grateful for your bravery, Aryan. But it must be decided whether you are worthy of knowing the secrets of our empire."
The leader gave some signals to the others. In a short while, four warriors stood in front of Aryan. They had naked swords in their hands and a challenge was visible in their eyes.
"You have to demonstrate our strength and skill,"Four warriors stood in front of Aryan, their swords drawn. There was tension in the air. Netaji and the others watched silently. Aryan knew he had to demonstrate his strength and skill, to prove he was worthy of knowing the secrets of the Gupta Empire.
He took a deep breath and unsheathed his sword. He held it firmly and looked at the warriors with challenging eyes.
The first warrior stepped forward. He looked like an experienced fighter, discipline evident in every move he made. He attacked swiftly, swinging his sword towards Aryan's head.
Aryan ducked and dodged the attack. He retaliated using the 'Heavenly Thunder Sword' technique. His sword swung rapidly in the air and knocked the first warrior's sword aside.
This was the chance. Aryan made a sharp turn and hit the first warrior with his shoulder. The warrior lost balance and moved back, looking at Aryan in surprise.
The other warrior stepped forward, taking a more aggressive stance. He kept swinging his sword faster, moving around Aryan. Aryan showed off his defensive skills, deftly avoiding every blow.He saw an opportunity and moved quickly. He used a powerful technique of "Heavenly Thunder Sword" to knock down the other warrior's sword. Then, he placed his sword near the warrior's throat.
"I won" Aryan said in a calm voice.
The second warrior bowed his head, accepting defeat. He stepped back and picked up his sword.
The third and fourth warriors advanced together. They were fighting in coordination with each other, trying to surround Aryan. It was a tough challenge, but Aryan was not ready to give up.
He used the advanced techniques of the "Heavenly Thunder Sword", moving quickly and dodging the attacks of the two warriors. He figured out their strategy and began knocking them off balance one by one.
In no time, he managed to disable the third warrior. The fourth warrior looked on in surprise and then attempted a final, desperate attack on Aryan.
Aryan easily blocked the attack and knocked the fourth warrior's sword to the ground. He retreated, signaling the end of the battle.There was silence in the hall. Netaji and others looked at Aryan in surprise. Never before had an outsider defeated their four most talented warriors so easily.
The leader nodded slowly. "That was impressive," he admitted. "You are certainly a skilled warrior."
Aryan bowed politely. "Thank you, leader. I just did my best."
Leena came to Aryan and smiled proudly.
Netaji signaled Aryan to stand in front of him. There was silence in the hall. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Aryan.
"Aryan," the leader said in a serious tone, "you have demonstrated your strength and skill. You have impressed even our warriors."
Aryan bowed his head in respect. He was curious to know what Netaji would say next.
"However, you must understand that the secrets of the Secret Empire are not shared with everyone," the leader continued. "Our powers and knowledge are ancient, and can be very dangerous if they fall into the wrong hands."Aryan nodded in agreement. He thought that Netaji was being cautious.
"But," the leader's voice softened a little, "you have helped Lina fight off bandits. You do your part as the protector of the forest. Perhaps you can be worthy of our trust."
The leader remained silent for a while, as if coming to a decision. Finally, he said, "We will tell you about the history of our empire and the reasons behind the bandit attacks. But remember, this information must remain confidential."
Aryan nodded enthusiastically. "I will protect it even with my life," he said firmly.
The leader smiled. "Very good."
He led Aryan and Leena to an elderly woman who had wrinkles on her face but had a sparkle of wisdom in her eyes.
"This is Vidushi Maya," the Leader said. "She is the wisest woman in our empire and the custodian of our history."
The learned Maya looked at Aryan seriously. "You are an outsider," she said in a low voice. "But you have earned my trust. I will tell you everything that I can.We know about the bandit attacks and the mystery of this forest."
Vidushi Maya told Aryan and Leena a long story. She told how thousands of years ago, a powerful magician lived in this forest. The magician had extraordinary powers, but he became corrupt due to his misuse of them.
Will Aryan be able to save the Gupta Empire? Who is the one who is getting the bandits to attack? Will Aryan be able to reach the academy on time? If he doesn't, will the academy admit him?
