Chapter 16: Andhaka evolves

With all his arms flexing and the ring of fire behind him, it was an awe-inspiring look for whoever saw it.

Even Andhaka himself had to start getting serious after seeing his cousin at his full power. He was strong but his cousin wasn't weak so he is not an idiot to take him easily now after seeing this. 

While both the powerful asuras faced each other the other Asuras who watched their fight all had a look of awe on their faces. 

Some Asuras and Danavas who were at the level of Atimaharathi used to the thought that they must not be too far away from Prahlada but now after seeing his final form they had started to reconsider their thoughts. 

Prahlada with all his momentum spoke somewhat arrogantly. 

" I had decided to go easy on you since you were my older cousin but now I shall make you see what makes me the Asura king and the title of the strongest Asura. " 

" Come here bastard I am ready to send you to your bastard father and ohhh I am talking about Vishnu by the way, " Andhaka shouted without any care and beckoned Prahlada to attack him. 

Prahlada wasn't prisoned in a place like him for thousand of years and has fought countless battles as the Asura king and was normally much better in combat experience.

 Before he was able to beat him because of his superior speed and strength but now he didn't know how much his strength has increased so he angered Prahlada to attack him first. 

Prahlada didn't speak any further and closed the distance between them and then began an unrestrained closed combat fight. 

Andhaka for the first time in the fight felt a little pressure as he couldn't find any openings in Prahlada.

All his attacks struck him at the perfect time and left zero gaps for any counter-attack so the fight was now in a stalemate as both Andhaka and Prahlada exchanged blows but neither of them was able to inflict any real damage upon the other. 

Andhaka had an exciting look on his face as he was quite enjoying this unrestrained exchange of blows.

Even though he wasn't able to do any real damage to his opponent but still he was gaining battle experience and improving himself. 

While Andhaka was ok with the stalemate, Prahlada was not as even after showing his final form he could only put some pressure on his enemy and if it went like this then it will be him who would lose ultimately as he can't be in his final form for all the time. 

The Fire ring behind him started to brighten and an intense scorching red aura started to gather at his fists. 

" Now - now why do you start using magic all of a sudden when we were between such a fantastic fistfight. " Andhaka made a shield of darkness all around himself to block the incoming punch. 

Suddenly Andhaka's eyes widened as his shield of darkness disappeared and a fist covered with a red aura struck him directly on his chest. 

" Even the shield of God Surya is not able to block this punch and you expect a wall of darkness to do that. Foolish. " Prahlada spoke in a calm voice as this time it was his cousin who was sent flying into the ocean. 

He flew towards the ocean floor with quick speed as he didn't want to give Andhaka any time to recover or anything. 

' BAAAM, BOOM, BAAAM ' Prahlada continued to strike mercilessly with all his force and will. With each passing movement, his attacks were becoming more and more destructive and it made the whole ocean tremble as if being hit by a meteor strike. 

"Cough - cough haha hahaha your attacks are very good. Straight and direct without an inch of hesitation but this is as far as you will go. " A rageful voice comes out of the ocean with a dark red streak of light coming out of the ocean and slamming into Prahlada. 

Prahlada was naturally able to see the Beam and put his hands forward to defend it. His hands were covered by the fiery aura and this was the best he can do right now to defend himself. 

But his attempt to defend himself failed miserably, the dark red beam directly pulverized his hands as if they were made up of foam and pierced his chest. 

after some time whoever was looking was able to see that the thing which pierced Prahlada wasn't a beam but it was a long white and red tail-like thing with sharp edges all over its body. 

The thing as if had a mind of its own retracted back after piercing Prahlada's body to a figure who rose up from the water. 

Andhaka who had risen up from the ocean now had quite some visible changes in him. His black coloured hair now had turned to white while the red coloured tattoos on his body had turned to White in colour. ( Pic in CHAPTER COMMENT ) 

His eyes which previously looked light red in colour now had dark red and gave of a feeling of darkness and also some destruction to whoever saw them.

While this all we're done but the most noticeable change was that sharp two-headed chain like hands floated around him. 

If Prahlda's final form gave of a look of awe then by looking at Andhaka they could all only feel deep despair and fear.

 It was as if they were not in front of Andhaka but the darkness itself. 

The fierce Asuran gods which didn't even show cowardice in front of the greatest foes started to shake in fear unconsciously. 

Svarbhanu waves his hand and a large barrier former around them which made the impact less to a degree but still, it couldn't stop it fully.

While everyone was shaking in fear, Svarbhanu and Vritra looked at each other as if wanting to confirm something and nodded with excited smiles on their face after seeing each other. 

Nearly all Asuras have some born affinity with darkness but not everyone can master the concept to higher levels and they were the top ones in the whole pataal Loka which had very good mastery over the concept and while looking at Andhaka they can see and feel the raw and primordial concept of darkness. 

For others, it was a thing to fear but for them, it was also an opportunity. 

They both sat down in meditating poses and closed their eyes while trying to see if they can learn something from Andhaka and advance their powers over the darkness. 

" What are they doing " Namuchi spoke with interest

" Where there are dangers there are opportunities. " Shukra spoke in an excited voice while looking at Andhaka. 

This was a battle between his two students and as a teacher, he shouldn't pick any sides but although ashamed to admit it, he was a little tilted towards Andhaka's side as he also didn't want to live in peace with the Devas. 

Although he didn't speak it but he was not too much happy with Prahlada's so-called 'Peaceful rule.' as it didn't appear to be peaceful at all, it looked like they had been defeated and were now holed up in the Pataal Loka without taking any kind of revenge against the gods. 

This has also made many powerful entities in the pataal unhappy with Prahlada and if not for Vishnu who made him the king then he would have certainly been kicked out by now or more than half of the Asuras would have rebelled against his rule. 

He certainly didn't want to see a civil war between the Asuras but this kind of peace didn't make the situation any better.

 Their pride was trampled by their worse enemies but they had to retrieve back to Pataal and start living a so called ' peaceful life ' which was no worse than living like a dog for the Asuras. 

If it was a democracy then Prahlada would have been kicked years ago, that was the current condition of Pataal Loka and although now the throne has been passed down to his son Virochana the situation was still the same as his son was also just like him.

Andhaka looked at his cousin who had now become unconscious and was falling down in the ocean like an autumn leaf. 

He has to say that his cousin is really powerful. His current form was only activated during the time he was getting bashed by his cousin. 

During the time he was getting bashed, his anger and frustration went up madly and he wanted to use the forbidden technique of using life force to gain a power-up to defeat his cousin but the darkness inside him responded to his anger and it combined itself with The inherent power of destruction in him and opened up a new mode with darkness being the dominant one. 

And as for the tail-like thing which floated around him. It was a mask that covered his eyes, he doesn't know why it was on his eyes or if it was natural or someone put it on him but when he entered his new form the mask was upgraded with him and was unconsciously remodelled into a weapon of darkness and destruction by him. 

He was quite happy to have this weapon as he can feel the connection with it and it was a very powerful magical weapon, and it didn't have anything to charge him up as it worked by feeding on his energy which was ok for him. 

The original material used to craft this weapon must have been a very high-grade one as the weapon's toughness was more powerful than him in his normal mode which meant it was unbreakable unless a very top level high class God used his full power and launched a concentrated attack only to destroy the weapon. 

Although he wasn't fully aware of the weapon's functions but still even by using its physical features it was quite powerful.

 The result was in front of him so he did not doubt that his weapon was a dangerous thing.
