Rishi took a step back, to prepare to pounce at his prey. Aditya just clenched his fist, annoyed at the sheer audacity that Rishi displayed by challenging him. Rishi came charging at Aditya, Aditya's sneer turned into a smirk.
"Pathetic!" He said as he grabbed Rishi's fist that was aimed right at him. He placed his hand on Rishi's neck and pushed him down, punching his upper back. Rishi fell to his knees. Aditya grabbed his hair, pulled him up, held him straight up, lifted his leg, kicked Rishi right on the gut, sending him flying away.
His fist was caught by Aditya. Aditya's fist crossed Rishi's face. Rishi powered through and jumped up to try and kick Aditya across the head. Aditya grabbed his leg in the air, held it with both his hands, and swung Rishi around, tossing him to the other side. Rishi went breaking through multiple trees. He grunted as he felt his back hurt. Still, he powered through and got right back up.
"You're Rishi, aren't you? I guess I should not kill you. Since I still need you alive after all. You are lucky to have been born in the right bloodline. Otherwise I would have killed you ten times over." Aditya said in a heavy and imposing voice.
"My blood won't matter after I make you bleed all over the forest ground!" Rishi said as he stumbled, struggling to keep standing.
"Your power level should be around a 100. My senses are not as accurate as a measuring tool but I can at least tell that much. So, kid! If you want to make me bleed, 100 sounds a bit.... inadequate." Aditya said with a cold voice. He was standing with arrogance and pride. One that fit an ancient warrior capable of taking on the strongest known warriors on the planet.
Aditya slowly starts walking up to Rishi. Rishi takes a deep breath and starts walking up to Aditya. Both of them reach and stand face to face, eye to eye. Rishi did not look even barely scared, he looked Aditya right in the eyes. Aditya lips curled into a smirk, he nodded gently. Even he respected Rishi's bravado or audacity, it could be either.
Rishi screamed as he grabbed Aditya's neck, his hold around Aditya's throat tightened.
Aditya DID NOT move. He was just standing there with Rishi's hand on his throat and he was still smirking. Completely unfazed.
Aditya's hand gently went up to Rishi's fist, his fingers wrapped around. He started putting pressure on it, Rishi FELT it.
Rishi's grip on Aditya's throat loosened and Aditya pulled his hand away. He looked straight into Rishi's eyes and with an unhinged menace, he said "As I said, inadequate!"
Rishi looked back in Aditya's eyes and grunted "Shut... The... Hell... Up!!!"
Suddenly, Aditya's hand started getting pushed. Aditya's eyes widened. Rishi's other hand reached for Aditya's head, pushed it down, slammed it into the ground.
Aaryan's eyes widened. Rishi was being manhandled just moments ago, and the difference between their strengths cannot be overcame in such a short time.
Aditya rolled himself, lifted his legs and kicked himself back his feet. Rishi pushed his fist through the air, Aditya caught it. As they looked eye to eye, Aditya spat out his tooth "Well that surely was something. It seems your blood is activating. I should have seen it coming since I went through this too."
Aditya smirked "We share the same blood after all. You might even be a direct descendant of one of my family members from the ancient era."
Rishi frowned "You can tell my ancestors the stories of how I killed you when you meet them."
Aditya scoffed "Quite the tongue you have."
Rishi sneered "I'm not the one who's been alive for centuries and still a disappointment."
Aditya hissed "I am killed legends that'll make you shiver in fear."
Rishi scoffed "And I have cracked Engineering Exams. Big Deal!"
Aditya frowned, his hand went to Rishi's head, pushing it down, slamming it into the ground. Rishi pushed himself up, punching Aditya under the chin. Aditya jumped up and flipped, kicking Rishi across the face. Rishi kept his hand onto the ground and lifted both his legs, kicking Aditya twice across the face.
"Doesn't look that one sided now, does it?" Rishi said as he returned back to his feet. He looked straight at Aditya who was gently touching his bleeding mouth.
Aditya scoffed "Quite the circus you're pulling off. Are you going to boil some water and claim you are an expert chef next?"
Rishi's eyes narrowed. Suddenly, Aditya was right in front of him, his eyes widened, he didn't have time to react. Aditya punched him in the gut, grabbed his arm, swung him over the head, slammed him into the ground, grabbed his leg, swung him around, threw him at the trees, instantly reached the trees, grabbed Rishi's hair, pinned him down against the ground, punched his face again and again and again and again until it was covered in blood.
"By that tiny power up, you thought you had a chance against me? It doesn't work that way grandchild. You still have a long way to go." Aditya said as he rose back up to his feet.
He stepped away from there and came to stand back near the house he broke into and then got broken out of. He looked around, searching for Aaryan, but he was nowhere to be seen. Aditya clenched his fists.
"I was hoping that brat would do well against you but I guess I should start lowering my expectations from people." The voice sent a chill down Aditya's spine.
Aditya turned around in an instant, but no one was there.
"Looking for someone?" Aditya turned around again when the voice came again, still no one was there.
"You don't even remember my face, do you? After all, how long has it been since you last saw me? 700 years?" The voice let out a chuckle.
Aditya hissed, his fists clenched as he desperately looked around. Finally, he lifted his arms and screamed so loud it could be heard from the moon.
His aura was dark red, not a rich bright red like Rishi did. Slowly, a small black line started appearing on his right hand, that slowly went up to his arm, then shoulder then collar, then jaw, then cheek, then eye and then forehead. The right side now slowly got covered in a thin long tattoo that looked like very small wordings in Sanskrit Language, the letters were so small they couldn't be read from far away and the writing was very long.
Suddenly, the entire area around him turned to a plain field, the trees got blasted away by his energy, the house.
He calmed down finally. He slowly turned around and finally, he was there. Aditya's eyes narrowed "Finally! I have been waiting for this."
Agastya smirked "Waiting for death? Not many people do that."
Aaryan lowered Rishi on the bed, the young man still unconscious. He took a deep sigh of relief as he realized Rishi was still alive. He stood up, and looked out the window. Obviously he couldn't see anything from how far he had come from the fight zone, but his eye allowed him to feel it.
"So this is what it's like when two global level warriors collide. It's as if, just the energy output might crush me." Aaryan murmured under his breath.
Aditya stared at Agastya, Agastya smirked back. Aditya uttered with menace "You die today!"
Agastya uttered back "One of us definitely does!"
