[94] Chapter - 57: Battle under the stormy forest. (Part - 2/2) Eklavya came to a complete halt, his feet digging slightly into the ground as he steadied his stance. The moment he stopped retreating, the atmosphere around him changed. The golden marks on his body began burning with a brighter, more intense hue, shining with a deep, vibrant yellow. At the same time, the five chakra rings on both of his arms appeared fully, spinning at extremely high speeds as a humming noise seemed to emanate from them, as if vibrating the air around him. Rain fell from the sky, landing on his body as it slid down the glowing marks. Magha's voice echoed in his mind, tinged with a hint of curiosity. ‘So... you're using the chakra technique with the Supreme Body?’ Eklavya's eyes stayed glued to the three warriors in front of him. ‘Yeah,’ he replied, his voice as cool as ever.’ They're potent when fighting as a team. I'll take them down before they can get into a stable position.’ The three four-star Master Warriors did not hesitate. They began their attack once more, their movements more precise this time—more calculated, yet equally as well-coordinated. Water splashed as they charged forward, their blades already infused with ki. All three of them swung their blades simultaneously, as if choreographed. Three swift, fluid arcs of ki energy shot through the rain, slicing through the air with sharp precision as they charged forward, directly at Eklavya. For a brief second, he remained motionless. Then he moved. Eklavya crouched low and sprang upward, his body soaring effortlessly into the air. The three arcs sliced through the space he had occupied and struck into the trees behind him, leaving deep gouges in the wood. In mid-air, he spun his body around and brought up his sword as ki energy filled it. Then he fell—not as a man in free-fall from a great height, but like a spear hurled from the sky. His speed increased at a rate that surpassed that of falling raindrops. As he fell, he swung his sword in a wide sweeping motion. The ki energy infused into the sword sprang out in a tremendous golden arc that hurtled forward with irresistible power. No sooner had it emerged than the air around it grew thick and heavy. Even the rain slowed down as it fell, as if it were being drawn into this heaviness. The attack hurtled down upon the three warriors like a crashing wave of pressure. The three warriors drew back their swords and created counter arcs to meet Eklavya’s attack. But it was already too late. The pressure caused by this golden arc disrupted their rhythm and coordination. The golden arc hurtled upon them. Death was a breath away— —and then the seven-star Master Warrior moved. He disappeared from sight. No motion, no transition. One moment, he stood at the edge of the clearing. The next moment, he stood in front of them. His sword never went back into its scabbard. He swung it forward in a smooth motion. A dense flow of ki energy sprang from it to meet Eklavya’s attack. BOOM! The explosion was violent, tearing through the clearing like a shockwave, causing the ground to shake with soil, rainwater, and debris flying outward in all directions. Trees swayed, and leaves were ripped off. For a moment, all was obscured by dust and suspended rain. Eklavya landed several meters away, sliding slightly before stopping, his eyes fixed intently on the centre of the explosion. As the dust slowly settled, the seven-star Master Warrior stood front and centre, unruffled, his sword held low, with faint ki emanating from its tip. Behind him, the three warriors were alive, though shaken, safe. Eklavya let out a soft breath, a faint smile forming beneath his mask. “‘Oh… so you’ve decided to join as well.’” The seven-star warrior looked back at him, a hint of curiosity entering his eyes. “Yeah,” he said, unruffled, “I think you’re finally worth fighting.” Lightning flashed across the sky, casting the clearing in white. The seven-star Master Warrior lowered his blade s
