Vasco, in astonishment, said, "Black Space, this sword is..."
Abhimanyu, laughing, replied, "Yes, yes, this is the Black Katana of Demon Lord Arjun. This sword has been in my family for years."
Vasco said, "How can an ordinary human possess such a sword?"
Abhimanyu laughed and said, "That powerless human has just taken your powers."
Vasco laughed and said, "You think only you know about this circle?" He spun the circle diagram, reversing the magic circle, regaining his powers, and the circle disappeared into the ground.
Abhimanyu said, "I didn't think he'd be so educated."
Saily said, "Plan failed."
Abhimanyu said, "Plan B is still left—fighting him."
Vasco laughed and said, "Alright, let me take that black space from you." He extended his hand, but the sword didn't come to him.
Vasco, in astonishment, said, "Black Space, this sword is..."
Abhimanyu, laughing, replied, "Yes, yes, this is the Black Katana of Demon Lord Arjun. This sword has been in my family for years."
Vasco said, "How can an ordinary human possess such a sword?"
Abhimanyu, still laughing, said, "That same powerless human just took away your powers."
Vasco, laughing, said, "Do you think you're the only one who knows about this circle?" He twisted a diagram, causing the magic circle to reverse, and his powers returned. The circle then disappeared back into the ground.
Abhimanyu said, "I didn't think he would be so educated."
Saily said, "Plan failed."
Abhimanyu replied, "Plan B is still there, fighting him."
Vasco, laughing, said, "Alright then, let me take that Black Space from you." He reached out his hand, but the sword did not come to him.
Vasco, astonished, said, "How is this possible? This sword only chooses a powerful master."
Abhimanyu, laughing, said, "That doesn't mean it can betray its former master."
Vasco said, "You and its master don't become the owner just by wielding it."
Abhimanyu then delivered a powerful demonic slash towards him.
Vasco dodged it, but the slash cut a mountain in half behind him.
Vasco said, "Impossible."
Abhimanyu replied, "Now that you've seen it with your own eyes, what's impossible?" Saying this, he reached Vasco at lightspeed and attempted to separate his head from his body. Vasco dodged by ducking and punched Abhimanyu in the belly, but Abhimanyu gathered demonic energy in that area to defend himself and also brought out a copper coin. This time, Abhimanyu soared high into the sky with the copper coin.
Suddenly, Abhimanyu saw a vision where he was holding a child and said, "My daughter, the one who will destroy all evil, Bhasmani."
In the sky, Abhimanyu had tears in his eyes as he remembered having a daughter.
Abhimanyu was falling, and everyone who could save him was injured.
Surya said, "My twin brother, someone save him or he will go up."
Riya said, "Who told him to be a Bahubali unnecessarily?"
Vivek said, "Are those wings?" Everyone noticed that Abhimanyu had red wings on his back, and he was rapidly descending. In mid-air, Abhimanyu launched several red slashes towards Vasco, who protected himself with several small shields.
Abhimanyu landed on the ground.
Abhimanyu now had red wings, black and red hair, and red eyes with black pupils.
Vasco, laughing, said, "Another half-demon? What field are you from?"
Abhimanyu smiled, and his hair turned completely red, his skin became red, and large horns emerged from his head. He now looked like a demon but still retained Abhimanyu's face. The aura he emitted surprised Vasco.
Vasco, stuttering, said, "Impossible, how can a Demon Lord's aura emanate from you?"
Abhimanyu, laughing like a demon, said, "Why can't I be a Demon Lord?"
Vasco said, "Impossible, how can a human become a Demon Lord?"
Abhimanyu, laughing, said, "Do I look human to you?"
Vasco was speechless but then started laughing, saying, "Now it will be a real fight." He had just said this when Abhimanyu grabbed him by the head and smashed him to the ground, then took him flying through the air, crashing him into mountains, rocks, and trees before throwing him into the sky and following him to deliver a punch. Abhimanyu moved so fast, delivering about a thousand punches in a minute.
Afterwards, Vasco was lying in the sky, and Abhimanyu delivered a palm attack, sending him crashing into the ground, creating a crater upon impact, coughing up blood.
Abhimanyu stood before him with the Black Space.
Vasco said, "Are you Demon Lord Arjun?"
Abhimanyu, laughing, said, "You guessed right, I am the world conqueror Arjun, the most powerful in all realms." Then, growling, he added, "But you tried to harm my daughter Bhasmani."
Vasco, in astonishment, said, "The Demon Lord's daughter?"
Abhimanyu said, "You will receive your punishment in installments."
Vasco grabbed Abhimanyu's feet and begged for forgiveness, "Please forgive me, I made a mistake."
Suddenly, darkness enveloped the area, and Vasco began to die multiple deaths.
Abhimanyu trapped his soul in an endless death and then sealed him in his ring.
Abhimanyu laughed like a demon, a terrifying sight.
Abhimanyu said, "Now the entire world will be under my rule again."
At that moment, Ammy snapped her fingers, causing a spark in Abhimanyu's heart. He clutched his chest and, after some pain, reverted to his human form. Everyone was scared of Abhimanyu, as no one had seen this form of him before.
But then Cherry, trying to get up, said, "Papa," but couldn't move.
With tears in his eyes, Abhimanyu said, "We will meet soon." Saying this, he snapped his fingers, and everyone except Ammy lost consciousness.
Ammy approached him and asked, "Are you alright?"
Abhimanyu replied, "Yes."
Ammy healed herself.
Abhimanyu said, "When they wake up, they will only remember that you defeated this demon. Their memory will be altered."
Ammy asked, "Was this necessary?"
Abhimanyu, smiling, said, "Yes, the time for me to emerge has not yet come."
Ammy asked, "When you were in that demon form, did you remember everything?"
Abhimanyu replied, "Yes, I remembered everything, but a desire was growing in my mind to become the most powerful and rule over everyone."
Abhimanyu said, "Although this demon was behind everything, what's the full story? Find out."
Ammy began to smile.
Abhimanyu then drew all his friends, including Cherry, into his ring. After that, Maya and Abhimanyu also entered the ring.
Abhimanyu and Maya were now in a room in front of the demon, who was continuously pleading, "Please forgive me, please forgive me."
Ammy, laughing, said, "Your endless death technique is impressive."
Abhimanyu said, "Alright, let's go to where he is."
They both went to the place where the death loop was running.
Ammy asked, "What disguise is this?"
Ammy said, "The Demon Lord's queen should look like a demon too."
Ammy's wings were now red, while her angelic form was now red instead of golden and white.
Abhimanyu said, "Even in this form, you look like an angel."
Ammy replied, "I don't even look like a real angel in my angel form."
Abhimanyu, laughing, said, "Human perspectives are always different."
Both were now sitting on separate thrones next to each other.
Abhimanyu called out, "Victor."
Victor's death loop stopped, and he came and knelt before the Demon Lord, saying, "Please forgive me, Demon Lord."
Abhimanyu said, "If you want this punishment to stop, explain everything you're doing on Earth."
Vasco said, "Lord, the current Demon Lord instructed us to gradually lead all humans on Earth towards dark forces and worship Satan. When we arrived on Earth, we teleported to the very place where we fought earlier. We set up a statue of Satan there and began our work. From there, we reached a tribal village and communicated easily with them due to our ability to understand any language. We convinced them that Satan would fulfill all their wishes soon, and they were happy. Gradually, we spread this secretly to many nearby areas to avoid another great war. Some time later, we found a portal in the dungeons which wasn't fully connected to any planet yet. We informed the Demon Lord, who gave us the responsibility to activate it. We started sacrificing pure souls to connect the portal to the demon realm. We built another dungeon below the portal for sacrifices and spread rumors that a witch was responsible for the killings. Eventually, the villagers suspected a girl and burned her alive. We took advantage of this and continued our work secretly, collecting a lot of demonic energy from many pure saints.
Abhimanyu asked, "What happened 20 years ago with the peepal tree?"
Vasco said, "We managed to connect a small path from the peepal tree to another dimension, which only allowed demonic energy through. The Demon Lord found this method in an ancient book, which sped up our work. However, 20 years ago, three of us died trying to open the path as sorcerers, but a small path did open. Three days ago, the tree suddenly split open, and our demon present there quickly sacrificed a human to prevent the power from diminishing. If we didn't make a sacrifice every new moon, the power of the gem would spread into the environment, and this ritual was usually performed on the new moon.
Abhimanyu said, "Luckily, Cherry didn't do anything, but I need to confirm."
Abhimanyu asked, "What role did the half-demon girl have in all this?"
Vasco said, "We know nothing about your daughter. I only saw her for the first time today."
Ammy said, "So that's the whole story."
Vasco then noticed Ammy and, astonished, said, "Isn't she the half-angel? How did she become a demon?"
Ammy said, "Consider me both the Angel Lord and Demon Lord."
Abhimanyu said, "Alright, since you've told me everything, I'll let you go, but only after some time because your crimes are significant. Enjoy the punishment until then." With that, Victor's endless death started again, and Ammy and Abhimanyu came out.
Ammy said, "Enough vacation, I'm heading to the lab now."
Abhimanyu said, "Try to find out about that temple."
Ammy said, "Alright."
Ammy then went to a pool filled with Amritjal (elixir water), mixed in a potion, and began to undress to enter the pool.
Abhimanyu said, "You've made this your home."
Ammy said, "To make this body stronger, I need a lot of herbs," saying this, she put all the fallen leaves into her ring.
Abhimanyu said, "You know those leaves will spoil in a storage ring."
Ammy said, "I forgot to tell you, but I also found a dimension space ring in these dungeons. If you explore properly, you might find that ring," she laughed, and Abhimanyu left her there and walked away.
Abhimanyu then went to his friends, turned his hair golden and white, and his eyes golden. He extended his hand and healed everyone at once, and in demonic form, he healed Cherry. Then he altered everyone's memories but didn't wake them up. He met Ramila one more time before leaving the ring and flying home.
In the village, everyone had gathered, and they were quite scared.
Abhimanyu landed in the village and spread his aura. Everyone was afraid of him.
Abhimanyu snapped his fingers, hypnotized everyone, and said, "Your relatives went to the dungeons in search of treasure. An accident there killed them. Now, perform their last rites and move on with your lives. The temple and village have become impure due to these deaths, so after the last rites and the twelfth day, the village and temple will be purified." He snapped his fingers, and everyone regained consciousness. Those who had lost loved ones began to cry, while the others stood as silent spectators, ready to help with the last rites.
Harimohan, who was sitting behind Abhimanyu, said, "You need a Brahmin to perform the last rites."
Abhimanyu was startled by the voice.
Turning around, he said, "Harimohan ji, you're here."
Harimohan said, "I'm happy to meet you again."
Abhimanyu said, "You're a Brahmin, please perform the last rites for them."
Harimohan said, "And the payment?"
Abhimanyu said, "I am a middle-class boy who has never done a day's duty, how can I pay? But I will try my best to pay this poor boy."
Harimohan laughed, "If you're poor, then everyone in the world would be poor. Anyway, donate according to your wish at the temple in a village near Tamil Nadu. Visit that temple once."
Abhimanyu said, "I'll definitely go there when I have time. I entrust you with the responsibility here. Farewell."
Harimohan said, "Farewell," and Abhimanyu left.
Abhimanyu reached Surya's house and went into his ring to meet Ammy.
He said, "Is your potion drying up?"
Ammy came out, dressed, and they both left the ring. Abhimanyu then brought out everyone else from the ring. The girls were lying on the sofa, and the boys on the floor.
Abhimanyu snapped his fingers, and everyone began to wake up.
Surya was the first to regain consciousness and asked, "What happened?"
Abhimanyu said, "Don't you remember?"
Surya said, "Yes, Ammy defeated him with her magical sword. But how did she have wings? Is she an angel?"
Ammy said, "No, but I have angelic powers."
Surya then looked at Cherry and said, "And what about this black angel?"
Black Dragon said, "She's called a demon."
Abhimanyu said, "She's also a half-demon."
Cherry said, "Yes, my father was a demon, and my mother was human."
Shruti asked, "But what should we write in the report?"
Abhimanyu said, "Write that many villagers went to the dungeons in search of treasure and died in an earthquake. Everyone must have felt the tremors."
Shruti asked, "How do you come up with these stories?"
Abhimanyu said, "Thanks to Grandpa's personal training."
Shruti asked, "And the murders?"
Abhimanyu said, "Write that they were under the influence of drugs. If you conduct a forensic test, you'll find the chemical Erythroxylum coca in their brains. That's the cause of their deaths. You can find boxes of this chemical in the cave, and the tribals were growing it. We'll provide information about their dealers."
Abhimanyu said, "Jin Gyong, give her the evidence."
Jin Gyong sent some photos and videos to Shruti.
Shruti, shocked, said, "Yashvardhan."
Abhimanyu nodded.
Shruti said, "Those people were being killed by demons, right? Why were they doing this, and what's the story of this girl?"
Abhimanyu said, "This girl has nothing to do with the murders here. In fact, she arrived the same day we did."
Jin Gyong said, "I thought she was the demoness the villagers were talking about."
**Abhimanyu and the Gang Unravel the Mystery**
**Black Dragon:** "We all thought the same."
**Abhimanyu:** "It was all a story fabricated to mask the sacrificial rituals."
**Shruti:** "Then why did the murders stop 20 years ago, and what were they doing instead?"
**Abhimanyu:** "They needed to increase the demonic energy to open a portal. This portal connects two planets."
**Inspector Vivek:** "The portal we saw in the sky?"
**Abhimanyu:** "No, that portal is different. The one that opened connected to higher beings than demons. But there's no need to know about them."
**Black Dragon:** "Look, we see you as a leader, but we need to know everything."
**Abhimanyu:** "These beings are such that even demons fear them. It was likely a gate to Narak (hell), where those spirits were taken."
Everyone was visibly shaken.
**Abhimanyu:** "But don't worry, those gates don't open randomly. It requires people making deals or someone willingly wanting to go to Narak."
**Vivek:** "And those holy men, if they were sacrificed, where did they go? I get the others were misled."
**Black Dragon:** "Abhimanyu, when did you meet them?"
**Abhimanyu:** "I met Harimohan ji later. Those holy souls were captured and exchanged because a pure soul is very valuable in Hell."
**Surya:** "See, even in hell, good people are priceless."
Everyone gave Surya an intense look.
**Shruti:** "So, where is that gate now?"
**Abhimanyu:** "I have blocked the underground paths leading to it. No one can reach it now."
**Jin Gyong:** "Did you or my sister block it?"
**Abhimanyu:** "Yes, your sister did."
**Jin Gyong:** "Look at you, becoming a hero without doing anything. You didn't even come out in your form."
**Abhimanyu:** "I did come out when you all fainted. Someone had to be the backup."
**Jin Gyong:** "Stop making excuses," she said and walked away.
**Abhimanyu:** "Stubborn as always."
Everyone smiled at this exchange.
**Abhimanyu:** "What's with you all?"
**Everyone else:** "Nothing."
**Abhimanyu:** "Alright, rest for a bit. We'll head to Bangalore soon."
**Shruti:** "We'll also be leaving. It was nice meeting you again, Abhimanyu."
**Abhimanyu:** "Same here. Remember Black Dragon?"
**Shruti:** "Sher Singh?"
**Abhimanyu:** "Yes."
**Black Dragon:** "I won't let you go."
**Abhimanyu:** "Big brother, I was just joking," he said as he started to run away.
**Abhimanyu:** "Cherry, where do you plan to go?"
**Cherry:** "I don't know. I have no one here."
**Abhimanyu:** "Alright, come with me."
**Ammy:** "No, she can come with me. You're always busy with the army."
**Abhimanyu:** "She'll stay with me."
**Ammy:** "No, she'll stay with me."
**Riya:** "Where do you plan to keep her, Abhimanyu?"
**Abhimanyu:** "Of course, at my place."
**Riya:** "You do realize you're about the same age, right?"
**Ammy:** "So it's decided, she'll come with me."
**Abhimanyu:** "No, she'll get bored in the lab."
**Cherry:** "I want to go with Abhimanyu."
**Ammy:** "Alright, I'll stay with you."
**Abhimanyu:** "What? Why?"
**Ammy:** "Since you're staying in Bangalore, I'll work with De Rustam there."
**Abhimanyu:** "I don't mind keeping you, but you know Jin Gyong..."
**Jin Gyong:** "I'll stay there too."
**Black Dragon:** "Wow, living with three girls at once!"
**Kashmira:** "What did you say?"
**Black Dragon:** "Nothing."
**Surya:** "You all go ahead. I'll stay here for a while."
**Abhimanyu:** "We understand. We would stay too, but can't take more leave from the army."
**Surya:** "Alright, see you all in a few days."
**The group leaves for Bangalore.**
After a few hours, they reach Bangalore. Abhimanyu drops Black Dragon, Kashmira, and Riya at the airport.
**Jin Gyong:** "Where will we stay now?"
**Abhimanyu:** "With me, of course."
Abhimanyu drives to a posh area with villas named Blue Imperial Houses. The security guard stops them.
**Abhimanyu:** "Hey guard, we need to get in."
**Guard:** "Who are you meeting?"
**Abhimanyu:** "I live here."
**Guard:** "Sure, and I'm the King of England."
Another guard intervenes, "Which house?"
**Abhimanyu:** "Villa number 1, Abhimanyu Pratap Singh."
The guard was surprised, "Abhimanyu Pratap Singh, a 20-year-old boy?"
**Abhimanyu:** "Want to see my ID?" He shows it.
Seeing the ID, the guard salutes, "Sorry sir, please enter."
**Abhimanyu:** "No worries." He drives inside.
One guard said, "Must be a rich kid."
The other, "Maybe, but if he bought a 10-crore villa, we should stay away from him."
**Jin Gyong:** "These guards will never let us in and out."
**Abhimanyu:** "Don't worry about them."
They reach a villa with open gates. Jasmine, a cook, and a caretaker are waiting.
**Jasmine:** "Welcome, sir. This is the cook and caretaker."
**Cherry:** "You seem pretty rich."
Ignoring Cherry, Abhimanyu asks Jasmine about her job in Delhi.
**Jasmine:** "Smoothly done. One minister disappeared causing some stir, but your uncle is dragging the issue."
**Abhimanyu:** "Typical politician behavior."
