Andhaka looked at Prahlada's body seriously and flew towards him quickly and caught him before he fell into the water once again.
He was an Asura and the whole Asura race was very proficient in the use of illusions or Maya was what they called it.
So the thing was that he was quite talented in the area relating to the illusion magic even to though he hasn't particularly practised the illusion magic but he can at least try to check if there was anything wrong with Prahlada as his actions were too suspicious in His eyes.
It can also be that he was being too paranoid and thinking like from the point of a human in mythology even killing family and ancestors was quite common, especially in Greek mythology, there seems to be a tradition to become the king after killing your father so it may just that he didn't feel anything towards his father when he was killed by Vishnu but he can't understand why he will let devas do as they want? so that was why he wanted to check if he had any problem.
He put his head on Prahlada's head and started to concentrate to find out any anomaly in his mind.
~~~~~~
" I really suck at this. " He spoke with a displeased face and turned to look toward the group of Asuras who were coming near him.
He had now returned to his normal form and his physical features has also turned back to normal while his weapon still rotated to and him as if guarding him against any surprise attack.
The asuras and danavas looked at him with a mixture of fear, awe and excitement in their eyes. Fear because of his evolved form, awe because of his powers as they were Asuras and naturally respected the strong and excitement because with Andhaka they can finally go to war against the group of so-called Good gods led by the best and saint God Indra. ( If you still can't get the sarcasm then you are just a useless weight on the earth and it's better to drown yourself. Double sarcasm and if you still can't get the..... Sarcasm × 100 )
" Hey teacher who is the best in illusion magic in the pataal Loka. " Andhaka asked while looking towards Shukra.
" We have the best illusionist in the whole of the three worlds .you can say that only the three supreme gods are better than him in illusion. " Shukra spoke proudly.
" Ohhhh!!? who is it? " Andhaka spoke with interest and surprise.
"it's one of the firstborn Danavas Mayasura, the architect of Asuras. " Shukra pointed to one of the Figures in the group and a Danava with red skin and two faces with blue horns came and stepped out of the crowd.
" I can guess a little bit about what you seem to do and I can already tell you that it is futile to try as I have already checked Prahlada on the orders of his father before and there were no signs of any type of magic used to control him. " Mayasura with a sad face and sighing face.
' So it seems you can only die peacefully once you have been used to death. ' Andhaka thought cruelly while looking at his unconscious cousin as since he was not controlled by any external means then it meant that the way he had been till now was of his own free will and he doesn't plan to show mercy to anybody who was a devotee of Vishnu.
So he will use him as long as he is useful then He will end his life personally with his own two hands.
" What? why are you staring me at like this? " Andhaka asked annoyed by upon seeing the revering look the Demons in front of him had in their eyes when they looked at him.
" Well, it's nothing. now let's go back to the pataal Loka and inform the people if you return " Andhaka nodded after hearing his teacher's words.
originally He wasn't that much interested in being the king of the Asuras but seeing the current condition of the Pataak loka he can only take it upon himself to correct the wrongdoings happening in the realm.
" Here take him " Andhaka spoke to his nephew Virochana while throwing his cousin's body to him.
Andhaka's eyes suddenly widened and he looked around the area with caution and serene eyes as if trying to find something.
" did Anything happen, brother, " Svarbhanu asked curiously?
" No nothing. Probably just me being too much paranoid. " Andhaka shook his head in denial and gestured Shukra to teleport them away from here and go back to the partial Loka.
Shukra waved the evil-looking staff in his hand and a teleportation circle appeared below them which engulfed them and disappeared quickly leaving no one behind.
" W - WAIT!! " Shukra quickly cancelled the teleportation spell and looked at his student with a questioning face.
Andhaka didn't speak anything and rushed towards a particular direction of the ocean.
He didn't know what was there but it was something that had some type of connection with him as he was able to feel it.
~~~~
" So it was this KID which was attracting me? " Andhaka spoke with a confused look while looking at the small baby who slept while sitting on top of a marine beast who swam through the ocean slowly - slowly while being careful of not letting the child have any contact with the water.
Andhaka didn't know what was the connection between him and the child but he was certain that there was something about that child which made him to relate to himself so he can't go back without checking what it was.
Andhaka flew towards the marine beast and stood in front of him.
The beast was a large fish of red colour and since it was a beast living in the cosmic ocean then it was certain that it had a good level of intelligence and it looked at Andhaka with cautious eyes.
" Oh Inhabitor of the cosmic ocean may I know who the child is on your back and where did you find him. " Andhaka asked in a somewhat respectable tone. He was an Asura but he wasn't an unreasonable bastard and since it was him who was disturbing the beast then he should be the one to have a polite tone.
" humph, You Evil Asura do you think you can fool me with such fake smiles. I am the son of Varuna ( water God ) and I can feel the darkness inside of you , so taking so civilly doesn't suit you, you vile creature. " The fish spoke arrogantly as he knows the appearances of nearly all the powerful Asuras and Andhaka didn't look like any one of them and so he reached at the conclusion that he was only small fry.
" Heh since you asked for death then I give you death. " Andhaka smiled while looking at the fish and his chain-like blades came out of his robes and attacked the fish.
The fish quickly made up a defensive magical circle and also raised a wall of water before him so that he can defend himself from the incoming attack.
