Chapter 17 - Raju's death

Red energy flames were rising from Aryan's hands. Raju lay before him — broken, but with a crooked smile on his lips.

Raju: You cannot kill me. Don't you know the rules of this world? Hunters cannot kill each other. That's why you can't kill me — but I can kill you. Because I am an assassin. I can finish you with my physical strength. I cannot be killed by normal power. And if you use your power — you will die with me too.

Aryan looked at him for a moment.

Aryan: Alright... so that's how it is.

And he turned and started to walk away.

Raju laughed to himself. How foolish is this boy.

But then something came under Aryan's feet.

He stopped. He looked down — Raju's sword.

A thought struck Aryan's mind.

This sword is what Raju attacked me with. I got hurt. That means — it's possible to kill with a weapon.

Aryan picked up the sword.

He turned around.

And with all his strength, threw it straight at Raju.

The sword went through Raju's body.

Aryan: You weren't that foolish — but you didn't think that I would figure out myself how to kill you.

Raju's eyes began to close.

And then Aryan saw something.

Raju's memories.

An old house. Night time. A girl came running — gasping, terrified. She knocked on the door. The door opened.

Girl: Please save me — there are goons chasing me.

The people of the house let her in.

But the goons had seen her.

They came. They broke down the door. And they didn't spare anyone inside. They took the girl with them.

When Raju returned home — there were only corpses. His entire family.

He went to the police station. Filed an FIR. But the police turned a blind eye. Who would mess with Hunters.

That same day Raju decided — he would become an assassin.

One by one, he killed all those who had destroyed his family. And then he became the leader of the G group.

Raju was completely on the ground.

Aryan looked at him — remained silent for a while.

Aryan: You are not a bad person. Time made you bad. Your family went through terrible things.

He paused for a moment.

Aryan: But it's also true — goodness has ended in this world. To survive here, you have to become evil. But you still could have lived your life properly. You took revenge for your family — that was right. But what you became after that... because of that, today you have met this end.

Aryan turned from there.

Among the rubble, Aditya lay — still unconscious. Aryan pulled him out, dusted him off, and looked at him once.

Aryan: Still unconscious. My brother is so weak.

He lifted Aditya onto his back and moved forward.

Aditya was mumbling in unconsciousness, his voice faint —

Aditya: Brother... I couldn't save you. Forgive me. I am not worthy of being your brother.

Aryan kept walking. He said nothing.

On the street —

There was a smile on Rohan's face.

Rohan: Nad Uncle has arrived.

The Mask Man turned around and looked back.

A man — standing at the other end of the street. Cigarette in hand, smoke coming from his mouth. There was no hurry on his face, no panic.

Nad Uncle: Hey, you bastard child of Dragon — what are you doing here?

The Mask Man's eyes narrowed.

Mask Man: Nad, keep your tongue in check.

Nad Uncle: Leave from here — otherwise you will be killed.

Rohan: Nad Uncle, what are you saying? Kill him — otherwise he will come again, he will try to kill Kavita.

Nad Uncle gave Rohan a look.

Nad Uncle: Rohan, keep your mouth shut.

The Mask Man had only one thing on his mind — this old man is very powerful. It's not right to stay here.

Mask Man: This will be my first mission that has failed.

And he dissolved into the air.

Rohan: Nad Uncle, why didn't you kill him?

Nad Uncle: Have you forgotten the rule of this world? Hunters cannot fight each other. And besides — his physical strength is very powerful.

Nad Uncle extended his hand. Green energy came out of it — and a warmth ran through the bodies of Meena, Kavita, and Rohan. The injuries became lighter.

Meena looked at Rohan.

Meena: Who is this Uncle?

Rohan: He is the Guru of me and Aryan.

Meena: Ah — so that's why you two are so strong.

Rohan: Meena, there's too much praise — we're not that powerful, otherwise we would have killed him.

Nad Uncle gave Rohan a hard punch on the head.

Nad Uncle: If someone is praising you, what's your problem?

Then his face became a bit serious.

Nad Uncle: Aryan has awakened.

Meena's eyes lit up.

Rohan smiled — but there was a different thought inside.

Perhaps a big trouble is coming.

Deep below — inside the ground, where light did not reach.

A woman sat. Blindfold on her eyes, white hair. Silence all around — the kind of silence that has accumulated for centuries.

Woman: Finally. I found that boy — through whom we can be freed from the divine seal.

A shadow came from the front — a demon, who bent down and stood before her.

Demon: Our Queen — what is your command?

Queen: Go up. India — Mumbai city. There is that human key... which will free us from this captivity.
