章 160: Duryodhana
Bhima's enraged assault catches Duryodhana off guard, though the latter manages to protect himself with his crystal body. As Duryodhana regains his footing, he glances at the group with a mixture of recognition and confusion.
Bhima, brandishing his mace-spear hybrid, strides forward with a determined expression. "You thought you could escape the consequences of your actions? This ends today."
Duryodhana, though visibly shaken, quickly recovers his composure. "So it seems I have not escaped the wrath of those I wronged. But do not think this will be easy. You are not the only ones with power in this Lostbelt."
Arjuna steps up beside Bhima, his gaze stern. "What do you mean? What are you planning, Duryodhana?"
Duryodhana smirks, the flicker of malice in his eyes evident. "This city is under my control, and my allies are many. You may have caught me by surprise, but you are walking into a trap."
As if on cue, the ground trembles slightly, and from the shadows emerge various monstrous entities, their forms twisted and menacing. The guards around Duryodhana draw their weapons, prepared to defend their leader.
Kama and Aozaki immediately spring into action, summoning their respective abilities to counter the emerging threats. Kama's bow sings as she fires arrows imbued with divine energy, while Aozaki's puppets dance and strike with precise efficiency.
Sita and Rama move to protect the group, their weapons flashing as they fend off the approaching monsters. Rama's bow and Sita's blade cut through the enemies with ease, their divine presence a beacon of strength.
Mash and Ritsuka stand back-to-back, ready to support their allies. Mash readies her shield and spear, while Ritsuka channels his black flames to scorch any adversaries that come too close. The intensity of the battle quickly escalates, with the city turning into a chaotic battlefield.
Duryodhana, seeing his initial advantage slipping away, narrows his eyes. "Very well, if you wish to fight, then let us see if you can truly overcome the might of this Lostbelt."
As the battle rages on, the group realizes that Duryodhana's presence is a significant threat, and they must adapt their strategies quickly. The clash of powers and the struggle for control over the city underscores the stakes of their mission and the danger posed by the forces aligned with Duryodhana.
With determination and strength, the group fights against the odds, striving to turn the tide in their favor and confront the true extent of Duryodhana's plans for the Lostbelt.
Arjuna looked at the Monster. "Brother allow us to take care of these small fry, you take care of him".
Bhima didn't have to hear twice as he went to Duryodhana, as Duryodhana then pulled out his spear clashes with Bhima weapon, Bhima then turned his head into a fist, as he allowed his power over the wind cover his fist, as he pushed and sent Duryodhana flying, as he jumped up as he catches Duryodhana leg asn spinne and sent him flying to trh forest, as Bhima then flying there l landing at the group next to Duryodhana as he smaller his mace as Duryodhana blocked with his Mace as the he punched Bhima before tackled him and dropped him to the ground, as Duryodhana lipted his spear was was ready to slammed it down, Bhima blocked the attack before sending a powerful blast id wind sending Duryodhana back, as he went ans Hit Duryodhana and hit him in the leg the only Place that Duryodhana body was not covered by his diamond body, but Nothing happened.
Duryodhana seeing this punched and kicked Bhima away sending him flying. "I am sorry but were you expecting something to happen when you hit me there".
Duryodhana's taunt cuts through the chaos of battle as Bhima is sent hurtling through the air, landing with a heavy thud. The invulnerability of his diamond body had thwarted Bhima's initial attack, leaving the latter momentarily stunned.
Bhima, recovering quickly, picks himself up and glares at Duryodhana. "I expected it to at least cause a dent. Your arrogance won't save you today."
Duryodhana chuckles darkly. "My diamond body is impervious to mere attacks. You may need to do more than that to challenge me."
As the battle continues, Arjuna and the others keep the monstrous entities at bay. Arjuna expertly uses his archery skills to thin out the enemy ranks, his arrows flying true and piercing through the monsters with precision. Rama and Sita remain vigilant, their coordinated strikes creating a protective perimeter around their allies.
Kama, with her divine bow, targets the more formidable foes, her arrows imbued with powerful curses that weaken and disrupt their enemies. Aozaki's puppets, agile and relentless, dismantle any threats that come too close.
Ritsuka and Mash are engaged in their own fight against the horde of monsters, with Mash using her shield to protect Ritsuka as he unleashes his black flames. Their teamwork is seamless, each supporting the other in their quest to clear the battlefield.
Back with Bhima and Duryodhana, the intensity of their clash escalates. Bhima, determined not to be bested, channels his inner strength and uses his mastery over wind to create a powerful gale. He maneuvers around Duryodhana with agility, his attacks now aimed at exploiting any gaps in the enemy's defenses.
Duryodhana, despite his formidable defense, struggles to keep up with Bhima's relentless assault. He counters with his own brutal strikes, but Bhima's speed and technique start to wear him down. As the two warriors continue their fierce battle, Bhima manages to land a series of blows, each strike further chipping away at Duryodhana's resolve.
Finally, Bhima sees an opening and decides to go for a decisive blow. Gathering all his remaining strength, he channels a massive blast of wind energy into a single, concentrated attack. The force of the blast slams into Duryodhana, sending him crashing into the forest once more.
Duryodhana, battered and disoriented, struggles to rise. His diamond body shows signs of cracking under the sheer force of Bhima's attack. He looks at Bhima with a mixture of frustration and grudging respect. "It seems I underestimated you, Bhima. But this is far from over."
As Duryodhana prepares for his next move, the rest of the group continues their relentless assault on the monstrous forces, each member of the team contributing to the battle in their own unique way. The outcome of this confrontation hangs in the balance, and the group's determination to defeat Duryodhana and secure victory for their cause remains unwavering.
Duryodhana then looked at Bhima as he lapped a bit. "It has been so long sense I had a fight like this, it has been so longs".
Bhima just looked at his rival. "So what are you losing it".
Duryodhana just lapped. "No but you did make me do this".
As then the wind it slef picked up as it grabbed Bhima and slammed him to the ground, as then the wind started to cut Bhima as it sent Bhima flying before bring him back to Duryodhana, as he kicked Bhima away before pulling him back with the wind as he slammed him to the ground, as Duryodhana then made a wind hand a giant wind hand, as he slammed into Bhima as Bhima screamed both in shocked and angr
Bhima just looked at Duryodhana. "What the hell how do you have control over wind, you have no gift over the wind".
Duryodhana lapped his body healing with what seemed like divine powers. "Yes but your father god Vayu does".
Bhima just looked at him. "The fuck is that summond to mean my Father would never give you a blessing after you kill in this timeline".
Duryodhana just looked at him. "Who said I need his blessing who says we can't will take in the gods then self into our body, your looking at the new god of Win Bhima".
Bhima, battered and struggling to get up, glares at Duryodhana with a mix of disbelief and anger. His rival's taunt about becoming the new god of wind only fuels his determination.
Duryodhana, still smirking, lets the gusts of wind swirl around him. "Do you see now, Bhima? My mastery over the wind is no mere trick. I've harnessed divine power, taken it directly from the gods themselves. It's a gift, one I've used to its fullest extent."
Bhima, wincing from the pain, grits his teeth. "You think taking divine power gives you the right to act like a god? It doesn't make you any less of a monster, Duryodhana."
Duryodhana raises his hand, commanding the winds to whip violently around him. The force pushes Bhima back, but Bhima braces himself, using his strength to stabilize against the wind's assault. "You always were quick to dismiss me, Bhima. But now, you see, I've become something greater. And it's this power that will finally bring you down."
As Duryodhana prepares for another attack, Bhima channels his resolve. Despite the pain and fatigue, he focuses on the essence of his own divine powers. The wind around him seems to respond to his will as he draws upon his inner strength. He manages to rise, though his movements are strained.
Arjuna, witnessing the struggle, fires arrows with renewed intensity, each shot aimed to disrupt Duryodhana's control over the wind. Rama and Sita, still engaged with the monstrous entities, keep them at bay, their combined might maintaining a protective barrier around their allies.
Kadoc and Anastasia work to fend off the remaining threats, their abilities complementing the efforts of their comrades. The group's coordination ensures they can focus on the primary challenge—Duryodhana.
As Bhima steels himself for a final confrontation, he calls upon his own divine energy. The air around him begins to vibrate with the power of the wind as he summons a counterattack. "You may have taken divine power for yourself, Duryodhana, but you underestimate the strength of those who fight for justice."
With a fierce determination, Bhima unleashes a concentrated blast of wind energy, aiming to penetrate the defenses Duryodhana has built around himself. The clash of powers creates a tumultuous whirlwind, shaking the forest and illuminating the battlefield with bursts of light and energy.
Duryodhana, caught off guard by the intensity of Bhima's attack, struggles to maintain his control over the wind. His diamond body, though resilient, shows signs of strain under the pressure. The two forces clash, their powers reverberating through the air as the battle reaches its climax.
The outcome of this fierce duel remains uncertain, but Bhima's resolve and the support of his allies drive him forward. The confrontation with Duryodhana becomes a test of endurance and willpower, with the fate of the battle hanging in the balance.
Ritsuka cut down the last Monster summoned By Duryodhana, as he then Arise that one as he now has Kali (demon) as one of his Umbrel summons will a few actually, but he didn't care, as he just shadow travel to where Bhima was as he looked at the Forest
definitely looked like two win gods fought, Marie Alter cane out Ritsuka servant
Marie Alter looked at Ritsuka. "Don't worry darling I will putting him on my shoulder".
As she does that Ritsuka then sees Duryodhana getting up. "Yeah no we will escape so hawg thess".
Ritsuka then made a magical barrier, he then activate his rune mage craft and mad the barrier stronger then summon a few of his umbrel summons as his shadow solder went into the barrier, then he summons his shadow Dragon Ddrake to lead them then he summons, Tiger Funeral the 9th of the Ten shadow, as the Black dragon came out and Ritsuka relished that the dragon ahd gotten stronger just like rabbit escape, as it has a blue mark on his chest as it was humming with energy, Ritsuka just looked at his dragon
Ritsuka looked at Tiger Funeral. "Keep him busy".
Ritsuka then took in a bit of the sun as his hair tunred red, as he made the Barrier stronger as then he grabbed Marie alter and shadow travel to try group grabbed each of them group and shadow travel everyone back to the camp, as Everyone arrived Marie alter,
Marie alter looked at Ritsuka before she spoke. "Ok that was over kill".
As Ritsuka and Marie Alter arrive back at the camp with the group, the tension of the battle still palpable, Marie Alter's comment draws puzzled looks from everyone. Kadoc, still catching his breath, looks at her with confusion.
"What do you mean by 'overkill'?" Kadoc asks, his gaze shifting between Marie Alter and Ritsuka.
Marie Alter, slightly disheveled but with a hint of amusement in her eyes, gestures toward the magical barrier and the summoned creatures still buzzing with residual energy. "Darling, the way you summoned a dragon and created such a powerful barrier to deal with just one opponent—especially when you could have simply shadow traveled us all out of there—seems a bit excessive, don't you think?"
Ritsuka, though relieved to have everyone safely back at camp, simply shrugs. "It's better to be safe than sorry. I didn't want to take any chances with Duryodhana, especially considering how he's wielding divine powers now."
Arjuna, still visibly agitated, nods in agreement. "I'm with Ritsuka on this. Duryodhana was a serious threat, and ensuring our escape without further risk was crucial."
Sita, having settled back into camp and tending to Bhima's injuries, looks up. "It seems like everyone made it out safely, thanks to Ritsuka's precautions. That's what matters."
Bhima, sitting with a grimace as he recovers, adds, "I underestimated Duryodhana's new abilities. It was wise to use every advantage we had."
As the group begins to settle back into their camp routine, Ritsuka takes a moment to reflect on the encounter. His thoughts turn to the continued challenges ahead and the strange convergence of divine powers that seem to be influencing their journey.
Marie Alter, noting Ritsuka's thoughtful expression, pats his shoulder reassuringly. "You did well, darling. Sometimes a little overkill is just what's needed to ensure everyone's safety."
Ritsuka smiles, grateful for the support and understanding of his companions. "Thanks, Marie Alter. I just want to make sure we're all safe as we continue forward."
With the immediate danger behind them, the group turns their attention back to the tasks at hand, preparing for the next leg of their journey. The events of the day serve as a stark reminder of the unpredictability of their path and the formidable foes they may yet face.
