Chapter 12
Second level in the Jungle (Part 2)
Ambu reaches a place where there are many trees and a river. Along with the chirping birds and the sound of the water of that river, the aroma of some sweet fruits is also coming. He is very happy to see those fruits and picks up a red apple and starts eating it.
It doesn't take long for him to understand that this apple contains poison. Only then does he use his yantra. Varundev's yantra comes on his back.
He misses a day of practice.
His guru ji says,
"Pay attention to your body, you can control the substances flowing inside it because you have the power of water."
"Whatever happens, I will overcome this test and go back to my friends."
Then he sits to meditate to stop that poison and slowly expels all the poison from his body and out of his mouth. Then many insects start moving towards him.
_
Oliver lands on another thief in the ditch filled with peace and rocks. There is a very strong wind blowing there. Despite being in the forest, completely unlike the forest, there is only one banyan tree and everywhere else there is just barren land. This tree was not even green when all its branches had dried up and turned into thorns. Suddenly Oliver hears someone screaming.
Oliver thinks,
"If I can't see anyone here, then where is this sound coming from?"
Oliver starts looking for the source of the voice. After a while, Oliver thinks,
"This way the whole time will be spent searching for that voice."
Then he just sits at one place and starts listening carefully to that sound. Then his eyes fall on that dry tree.
_
Vedha reaches near that banyan tree and says,
"Now I understand that when the strong wind goes into the hollow branch of this tree and comes out through another hole, it sounds like a scream. Got scared unnecessarily."
Vedha turns back and suddenly a vine from that tree catches Vedha's leg and hangs her upside down. Then just like that he caught hold of his other leg and both his hands. Gradually, scary eyes and mouth start forming on the trunk of that tree. He looks at Vedha with his red eyes and starts laughing. he says,
"You are intelligent, you just forgot to be alert."
After saying this, he starts pulling Vedha's hands and legs. Vedha screams loudly and the heartless tree starts laughing.
_
Oliver says,
"So the noises are coming from this tree".
Using his yantra, Oliver extracts two ropes with a knot tied at the end. Twisting those ropes, he moves towards that tree.
Sensing danger, the snake starts shedding its skin and comes back to its original form and all its branches start shaking and two red eyes and a scary mouth start emerging on its surface.
"I knew this was not a common tree."
He starts fighting with its branches with his ropes.
"I think maybe I can break its branch with my blow."
He does exactly the same, but as soon as one of his branch breaks, another branch grows.
Oliver thinks in surprise "Hey! Its branch grew very quickly. This way it will be impossible to kill it."
_
Vedha thinks, "It is good that he does not know about my third hand."
Vedha then frees herself from the grip of the tree using his third hand.
As soon as he descends, two ropes come out of his yantra. Some knots are tied on both those ropes which gives them the shape of a whip.
Seeing this the tree is quite surprised and says,
"You are no ordinary person."
"You too are not a common tree."
Using his whip-like ropes, he starts breaking the branches of that tree.
The tree laughs and all its branches grow back like Ravana's heads.
Vedha thinks
"How can this happen? This way it will never fail and I will get tired of using this yantra."
_
Oliver's yantra suddenly stops working and he starts breathing very rapidly.
"Oh! No, this cannot happen. I must awaken my yantra quickly or it will kill me."
Then, using the opportunity, the tree attacks with all its branches simultaneously.
"Oh! No."
Oliver tries his best to escape. Then Oliver sees that a lot of branches are coming out of his stomach.
He shouts very loudly. His eyes close and he starts taking deep breaths and says,
"knew it. This is what will happen."
Within a short period of time he dies there.
_
Vedha gradually starts getting tired and the shine of her yantra starts decreasing. Seeing his victory near, the tree starts laughing and says,
"Just a little while and then I will easily cut you into pieces and eat you."
Vedha thinks,
"Something has to be done quickly otherwise he will really cut it into pieces and eat it."
A smile appears on Vedha's face and he starts moving closer to the tree.
"Just get close to this tree and then my work will be done."
Vedha reaches close to that tree but suddenly a piece of branch enters her stomach. He screams loudly and his legs stumble.
Taking out a piece of that branch and placing one hand on his stomach, he starts jumping on the branches of that tree.
The tree angrily says loudly,
"What are you doing? Don't fight me, anyway, you don't have much time left before you die."
Just as a girl braids her scattered hair, Vedha also ties the loose branches of that tree.
Panting, Vedha says,
"Tie your hair like a good girl."
That tree tied in ropes cannot escape Vedha's taunts. Panting, Vedha starts to leave but suddenly blood starts flowing from her ears.
_
Just as the earth starts trembling when two bulls run towards each other, similarly the earth there starts trembling when Viraj and his shadow run away from each other. Both of them hit their heads very fast and both of them fall far away.
Viraj's yantra starts glowing black. A larger circle contains another circle inside a smaller circle and a triangle inside that, and then another inverted triangle on top of that.
This is the yantra of Kaal Bhairav. Then he starts spreading the powers of his yantra and his hands and legs turn black.
With great speed the shadow punches Viraj in the face and he falls away. After lick some dust he gets up and spits angrily and says
"This is the last straw."
As soon as he says this, black needle-like thorns appear on his body. He quickly runs towards the shadow and kicks it hard in the chest. Blood comes out of the shadow's mouth.
Then a hand-to-hand fight begins between the shadow and Viraj. Viraj throws that shadow away. The shadow starts laughing loudly, breaking the peace before the storm. Then Viraj sees that not just one but four shadows are standing in front of him and all of them together attack Viraj.
_
Dhruv is walking on a path. He sees that two red eyes are shining in the black flat darkness. Dhruv stops seeing those eyes. His yantra starts glowing brightly and his hands become filled with fire. There is light from the fire and he sees a rabbit standing in front of him.
Dhruv smiles and says,
"Like a coin, every beautiful creature has two sides."
Then a human with a severed eyeless head comes rolling near Dhruv's feet and he laughs and says in an old voice,
"You are absolutely right."
Dhruv gets shocked and alert after seeing and hearing that head. Dhruv says,
"Whoever you are, come before me."
Then that head straightens up and a complete human being comes out of the ground. He opens his closed eyes and the tears come to life and they start glowing red.
Dhruv smiles and says,
"Get ready."
Dhruv kicks the devil on his chest very fast and the devil shatters into pieces like a sand dune.
Dhruv laughs and says,
"Shattered in one kick. Now laugh."
Then the sound of laughter starts coming.
Dhruv becomes alert and says,
"What is he going to do now?"
With great intensity, two hands come and punch Dhruv directly on both his cheeks. Then a leg kick to Dhruv's back. At last his head comes and hits Dhruv's head.
Dhruv falls far away and the man keeps laughing loudly. The lava inside the volcano starts coming out. The brightness of Dhruv's yantra starts increasing.
Dhruv wakes up cleaning the blood from his mouth. Then he understands something and stands up smiling. The fire in his hands increases. He is standing and looking at that person.
_
Vedha turns and sees that the tree is spitting sharp thorns from its mouth towards her. While avoiding them, Vedha takes out very long ropes from her hands. The tree screams loudly and says,
"I will not leave you."
Then the tree starts coming out of the ground along with its roots.
Vedha says,
"You should not have done this. The roots that you consider your weakness are your greatest strength."
That tree starts bouncing vigorously here and there and starts releasing thorns from its mouth.
Those thorns come towards Vedha. Vedha quickly moves away from its place and those thorns hit a stone. Because of those thorns the stone melts.
Seeing this, Vedha's eyes widened. Vedha again starts using his ropes and revolves around that tree and ties the mouth of that tree.
"You won't be able to stop me by doing this."
"I know too."
As soon as he ties his mouth, he kicks him hard in the face and he falls into the ditch of the tree.
"No."
"Come on, now it won't come back."
_
That red light, like the setting sun, has spread red throughout the cave. Then a long shadow of Bhairav starts forming and there is movement in it. That shadow comes and stands in front of Bhairav, looking exactly like Bhairav.
Bhairav says "What is all this happening?"
"You are very stupid Bhairav. You came too late. Now you can never defeat me because now I am in my full form."
Bhairav doesn't say anything and his yantra starts glowing.
"Nothing like this will happen. You can't come in my way."
"Only time will tell. You cannot go against your destiny."
"I don't know what will happen in the future, but that future can never be known without trying."
