Cherreads

Chapter 5 - STILL ONE SIDED

Agastya raises his chin, his lips curling into a smirk. Aditya sneers at him "You look way too arrogant for someone about to die!"

Agastya sighs and says "This is not the first time you have thrown a threat at me and just stood there doing nothing. Are you going to keep pretending to be some menace? Or are you going to fight?"

Aditya's eyes widen with rage, his blood was boiling at that. Loudly, he shouted "I will kill y-"

"Either come on or get out of here!" Agastya interrupted him "Actually, forget that. I'll kill you first!"

Agastya's eyes started glowing red. His aura was brighter and richer red than Aditya's dark but rich red. Agastya pushed his foot back, almost cracking the ground.

Aditya bent his knees a bit, lifted his hands, getting in the stance to fight.

Agastya became the first to attack, he covered the distance in less than a second. As his fist came tearing through the air, Aditya raised his arms, trying to block the attack.

Aditya did manage to block it with both his arms but was sent flying back by just the force behind it.

Agastya smirked and said "Your 'Level 2 Evolution' seems like a waste now. I haven't even started evolving and look at you."

Aditya managed to land on his feet. He did not respond now. He came charging at Agastya.

Aditya punched, Agastya dodged, Agastya grabbed Aditya's wrist, pulled him down, punched his chin, Aditya grunted in pain, grabbed Agastya's wrist, tried to twist it, Agastya jumped up, flipped in the air, kicked Aditya across the head, Aditya got sent flying, his head was bleeding from the side now.

Agastya landed in his feed, Aditya landed on his back. Agastya looked at Aditya and spoke with a smirk "It seems the alpha too can get his backside kicked sometimes."

Aditya shouted as he kicked himself up "WITH ALL MY BEING, I SWEAR I WILL KILL YOU TODAY ITSELF!!!!"

Aditya ran with all his strength towards Agastya. Agastya managed to catch Aditya's fist, Aditya pulled it out, Agastya tried to punch, Aditya dodged, Aditya tried to kick, Agastya blocked with his leg. Agastya grabbed Aditya's arm, Aditya punched Agastya's rib. Agastya grunted, hit Aditya's face with his elbow, Aditya powered through, punched Agastya across the head. Agastya powered through, grabbed Aditya's head, slammed it into the ground, hitting hard.

Both Agastya and Aditya jumped away from each other. Agastya wiped the blood around his mouth with his hand and uttered "Alright, you are stronger than I thought, I'll give you that."

Aditya narrowed his eyes "This isn't even my fill power yet."

Agastya nodded "Ohh yeah! Same here! Except you're lying, just to scare me. I, however...."

The red glow faded from Agastya's eyes, it slowly turned into a bright blue glow. His red aura was replaced by a blue one.

Aditya's eyes widened as the realization stuck in "You... You can really do that? You never did it before. You are the...."

"The Anomaly? Ofcourse I am. Any other being would be dead if he tried to carry two energies in his body. I make it look easy!" Agastya smirked, his confidence was unshakable here.

Aditya narrowed his eyes with anger "Can you...?"

"Wield them together? You want to see what happens when the two energies are mixed together, don't you? Fine, come here. I'll stuff this blue energy into you and then you can find out." Agastya smirked.

Aditya's eyes widened as he realized what Agastya meant.

Aditya started taking a few steps back "I... I can't even touch you like this."

Agastya nodded "Yep, touch me and you'll explode because there will be a nuclear reaction inside your body. Two energies cannot coexist after all."

"Then how do you do it?" Aditya hissed.

"This is how!" Agastya smirked.

Agastya's hand was on Aditya's face, in an instant. Agastya just moved much faster than he did earlier.

Aditya got slammed into the ground, the back of his head hitting the hard soil. Agastya pressed further down, almost crushing his head.

"So what was that you told me all those centuries ago when you utterly humiliated me? That evolved warriors cannot die even if you cut off their heads?" Agastya scoffed.

Agastya's hand started glowing blue. The blue energy touched Aditya. Aditya's face started cracking, visuals of bright golden light came out of the cracks in Aditya's face and head. Slowly, his entire body cracked.

Aditya screamed in pain and fear. In an instant, his entire body exploded into a large nuclear explosion, shining golden.

Aaryan saw the explosion, so did the entire city.

Agastya stood there silently as Aditya's body, reduced to dust, merged into the soil, his life force and energy, both dissolved into the air.

Agastya took a deep sigh of relief after that. Then lifting his head, he murmured "Two down! One last to go!"

Rishi finally opened his eyes, but strangely, his vision seemed different. It was as if he could only see from one eye, the other one was closed, even though he could feel it was open.

He stood up from the bed and looked at Aaryan. Aaryan turned around. Rishi's eyes widened. Aaryan had an eyepatch on his eye, which was supposed to that magical blood eye.

Rishi stood up from the bed and looked around. It looked as if he was in a surgery room. He spotted a mirror and rushed towards it, then he looked into it and his eyes widened. His left eye was normal, his right eye had that blood eye. The pattern was also same, a red hexagon in an all black eye.

He turned and looked at Aaryan. Before he could say anything, Aaryan spoke "Two down! One to go!"

Rishi looked confused "What does that mean?"

Aaryan sighed and explained "Agastya had three targets. He has successfully killed two of them."

"That monster, Aditya....?" Rishi asked.

"Aditya is dead, definitively. There is no question. Agastya took his life by his own hands." Aaryan said it, as if even he could not believe it.

Rishi sighed, calming himself down and asked "And you are the third one?"

Aaryan took a deep breath, looked Rishi in the eyes and uttered one word.

"No!"
