Chapter 78 - Dark Energy

Ch- 78 

She saw the elders were planning to launch a powerful weapon than the ones they used in the past three days. She furrowed her brows, she noticed that they couldn't control their powers. Even though they were trying to control they couldn't control it, it was like someone was controlling their powers. 

She immediately lunged towards the spot and on a single foot. She took her sword "Kharga''. The same sword broke the Bhairava Hammer into pieces. She reached quickly when that produced the weapon with their best qualities. Like one of the elders was efficient in using fire, while the other in the water and the others in other things. The best of the ten elders' specifications were combined and were turned into a weapon to attack Bhairava. No one has made a counterattack to that weapon. Even there it cannot be used for this. Because if she used it now the whole kingdom may turn into a graveyard. And even their weapon cannot be stopped easily. Shakti appeared in front of the sphere which was spinning ferociously. The sphere's inner core was filled with darkness, fire, lightning, air, water, soil, wood, stone, ice, light, steel. 

The sphere was the symbol of ten elements that were present on the earth. But a mere human couldn't take it and a person like Bhairava couldn't take it! She slashed it with her Kharga. From history, it says that goddess Kali gifted her ancestors with this sword. Since Goddess Kali gifted them with the sword they named it with the sword name of Kali's sword. Where the sword of Kali was used to slay the monsters and evil spirits. So, the Ancestors of the Basilisk wanted to use the sword for slaying the evil. So, they named the same as goddess Kali's sword. No weapon could bear the power of it. Unless they were bestowed with another powerful weapon from the gods!

Shakti slashed the ball with her sword making the sound of 'Clank'. Shakti felt like her soul was being sucked out. She noticed the people around her were also getting affected. 

"A hundred meters away from here!" she said to Bhairava through her gritted teeth as she bore the pain. Her hands were weakening, her body was flaying. When Bhairava saw this he gave her a worried look. 

"Go!" she yelled. Bhairava knew that if she couldn't handle even he couldn't handle it. And most importantly, when the sphere was thrown in his direction he felt the immense power emitting from it. He understood that he would die the second it came in contact with him. He closed his eyes as he wanted to give his best for that second. But he noticed that he couldn't use his powers against it. That was then he realized the darkness in the sphere was sucking his powers. He took a deep breath and stood there waiting for his death. But at that second his sister appeared and took the blow. He could see the sweat and tiredness of her body but he could do nothing. He was weak. No wonder his sister called him a weakling. He realized what he was doing. He realized his sister couldn't get his wife back to life. Hot tears pooled in his eyes. But the thing that he realized was no matter what his sister would be there for him at any time. 

When he heard her saying go, he didn't want to but he relented and made his way back to the distance she asked. He will admit defeat. He was too selfish. 

"Elders! Back! Hundred meters!" She said through her gritted teeth. The sphere was like a black hole sucking everyone's energy. But the thing that astonished her was the darkness in the middle of the core. No one has dark energy but the sphere has. She noticed it has eleven layers. She understood what was happening then. This kind of sphere can be formed when eleven elements are there. She searched for the eleventh person but she found no one. She gritted her and used her power to turn the sphere into a solid thing. It took a lot of toll on her to do that. Shakti was so tired she almost swayed in her position. But she held on to her last ounce of energy. The big ball was turned into a solid sphere. Shakti used her sword Kharga and slashed the ball into eighteen pieces. She removed the dark energy separately from the sphere and called everyone near to her. 

" to whom this dark energy belonged?" She asked coldly. 

Her tired face pulled a mocking smile but still, it was effective. 

"Princess, I don't but I need to say something," one elder said. 

"Sir, Please speak," she said. 

"When we were uniting our powers at a certain point I felt like someone was forcefully extracting my power. But after a few seconds, I felt someone was standing beside me! But it was a fleeting moment only. I failed to notice that presence. That Presence was filled with darkness and it was more powerful than your presence!" the elder said. 

"Elder sister..." Bhairava called out. 

"I couldn't use my powers from the time the Gurujan started making the sphere. It was like someone locked my powers and wanted me to die!" Bhairava reported. 

"We felt the same! IT was like we couldn't control our powers!" everyone said. 

Shakti smiled. 

"I got it! You guys don't worry!" Shakti said. 

"Bhairava! Elders are tired. So, Vikrama, Narendra, and Father will replace! Fight with them! There was still half an hour left!" Shakti said. 

"I admit defeat!" Bhairava blurted out. 

"Why sudden enlightenment, Weakling?" she asked. 

"I am a weakling!" he accepted, surprising her. Shakti didn't show it on her face. She covered it quickly but not everyone was the same. Few of the elders directly showed on their faces. 

"I admit defeat! I admit I was selfish, childish, and unreasonable. All these years when you were beside me and protected me I felt nothing but now I saw the real pain. When I saw you were bored with that sphere, I felt like I was trash! I couldn't help you! When I saw your face filled with pain, a thousand swords slashed my heart. 

"The gone were gone. But I can only protect the ones whom I have now. If not for my childishness and selfish acts, you wouldn't have gone through this. If you were not strong enough, What Shall I do?" He said as he blinked away the tears that pooled in his eyes. 

He was still scared when he noticed the situation. He was ready to embrace the death but when he saw his sister was standing in front of the sphere as she clashed her sword like Goddess Shakti, he regretted fighting for the dead ones. His delusion of them coming alive was cleared. 

"Forgive me," he whispered. 

"forgiven," she said.

"Do you still want your woman to come back alive?" she asked. 

"I will pray to God asking him to make my wife soul reborn somewhere and meet me. I wish she would have another life again," he said. 

"What do you want?" she asked again. 

"Rest," he replied, making everyone laugh. 

"As for your woman's dead body, I will take care of her funeral. You rest!" she replied. 

"Vikrama and Narendra!" she yelled. 

The two big bunnies appeared in front of her immediately. 

Shakti stretched her hand and a golden box appeared in her hand in a second. 

"Feed this thing for every hour till he gets better!" She said as she handed it to both bunnies. 

They both started fighting for holding the box. The box almost fell but Shakti held it on time. 

"Box shouldn't touch the ground!" She yelled at them. 

Their backs stiffened at her growl. 

"Okay," they replied. 

"Take rest!" She said to Bhairava. 

"Gurujan, Bhairava, Vikrama, and Narendra" she called out again. 

"Tomorrow in the temple at 4 am. I will show something to you that will strengthen your power! Please come!" she said. 

"Okay!" everyone replied. 

"Sister! I need to talk to you about something!" Bhairava said. 

"I need to talk to you! Be ready after the temple visit!" she said. 

Bhairava nodded like a kid and left. 

The elders, her parents, and everyone left. 

When she saw there was no one she clapped in the air. 

Two people appeared in front of her out of thin air. 

"Lady" they called her out. 

"Secure these bodies in my room! No one should know! And make arrangements for Funeral!" she ordered. 

Those people left just like how they appeared. She looked at the power sphere in front of her, a small smile formed on her face.
