?Rishi walked up from behind them. When Kajal noticed Rishi approaching and noticed his expression, which both scared and relieved her at the same time, she was already annoyed because of these idiots. Her main thought was who might have informed them; she even looked back at Sakshi to see if it was one of her pranks.
But Sakshi was also blank-faced this time, which perplexed Kajal even more; Rishi placed his right hand on the boy's shoulder and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Go back, boy; it's not related to you," the boy said as he turned and pushed Rishi back.
"That is for me to decide; why are you stopping her?" Rishi asked.
"It has nothing to do with you; You should not meddle in the internal affairs of our clan; this is your final warning; if you disregard my warning again, it will be bad for you," he threatened Rishi.
"Are you from the Agastya Clan?" Rishi asked.
"You should know what's better for you now that you know where we're from," the man said as he made a smug expression; it appeared he looked down on Rishi.
"I don't care from which clan you are; I only know one thing: she is my guest, and she is going nowhere before she attends the party," Rishi said, pulling his shoulders back and staring at the man her her her her.
Rishi drew everyone's attention—who was this kid? who was opposing the Agastya clan? "Do you think I am afraid of your clan?" Rishi asked, seeing their expressions. "I would not have taught Aditya a lesson if I feared big clans; I don't care from which clan you come," he mocked. "If you interfere in my life, I will not be polite."
"Boy, you're brave, but there's a fine line between bravery and foolishness, and you've already crossed it. We are not the Tiwari clan, merely the Dushta clan's lapdog. I didn't attack you from the start because I didn't want to break Mazar City's rules, but it looks like I'll need to teach you a lesson, even if it means getting banned from the city," the man said as he punched Rishi.
Rishi had anticipated it, so he moved slightly to the right side and grabbed his hand. He smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I was also waiting for you to attack me first because according to city law," before punching the man in the face and saying, "It will now be called self-defense."
"Attack him," said the man, and others followed suit, attacking him. Rishi was in big trouble when three people started attacking him simultaneously.
They took out their weapons after the battle had continued for a while. "I was going easy on you, kid, but now you can't blame me for what happens next," the leading man said before attacking Rishi with a spear thrust.
Rishi avoided it by using his 'Phantom Steps' skill and drawing his sword, and the fight continued.
"Sakshi, what should we do? Should we assist him?" Kajal asked.
"Are you eager to return to the clan? You are not permitted to intervene in this fight. We would both be punished if we attacked them because it is not the same issue as before. Rishab has disrespected our clan, and if we help him, they'll think we're on his side," Sakshi responded.
"If you listen to me, we should help our clan members," she continued.
"Are you insane, Sakshi? He is fighting on our behalf. If we can't help him, we shouldn't get involved in the fight," Kajal said.
"Tell me how you intend to intervene in the battle as well." Sakshi felt chills all over her body as a voice came from behind her. "What are you doing here, Stick Master?" she asked.
"Not much, just making sure you don't interfere, Lolli Witch," the boy replied.
"You're a month younger than me; call me Didi(elder sister), kid," Sakshi said.
"Stop it, Sakshi, and why aren't you assisting him? Isn't he already struggling?" Kajal inquired.
"Why would I interfere in a battle that can help him grow? He should be confident if he initiated this battle?" Dilip responded.
"You are extremely self-centered; what kind of friend are you? He's in a difficult situation, and you're looking for benefits while he's risking his life," Kajal said emphatically. She clenched her fists and braced herself.
"You have no right to lecture me, girl; he's in this situation because of you. If he is hurt, you will be held accountable. Why don't you stop them if you truly care about him? Or are you looking for a situation where Rishi is fatally injured, and you can intervene to reap double benefits? First, you get a favor from Rishi, while second, you use city laws to ban your clan members, so they don't interfere with your life," replied Dilip.
"Don't talk nonsense; why would I resort to such heinous methods?" Kajal stated.
"You can deceive the entire world, but not me. It could be completely true, but this is also a possibility in your mind. Using people as tools from such a young age, I can't even imagine what you will become after growing up," said Dilip before looking at the battle.
"Also, let me warn you, don't play with him; He is not someone that can be controlled; he is not someone who will only stop after burning your hands if you touch him. He will burn your whole clan also; you don't need to rely on tricks if you want his favor; directly ask him; if it is within his limits, he will gladly assist you," he said while mocking Kjal.
Kajal and Sakshi started casting their spells, but Dilip had the same cocky expression. "One more thing If your clan knew who he is, They might have come and apologized for attacking him." this confused Kajal and Sakshi, so they decided to stop.
"Tell me who he is?" asked Kajal.
Dilip mocked, "Ask him yourself" he winked and said "You are very confident in yourself, then charm him; maybe he will answer you" he laughed before ignoring them and looking at the battle.
Rishi was struggling because they had also begun using cursed spells, and one of them was already above Rishi's level. He began to consider how he could win while avoiding their moves.
Many cuts appeared on Rishi's body, even when he used the 'Phantom Steps' skill to avoid their attacks. When he was about to lose, his 'enhanced focus' activated, and he quickly found a way to win.
He jumped back, allowing his opponents to attack Rishi with their powerful moves. They did precisely what Rishi predicted, causing Rishi's lips to curl up, and he said "Checkmate" before using the 'Shadow Walk' and 'Phantom Steps' together to avoid their attacks and approach them.
Rishi dispatched one of them by ambushing him from the shadows, rendering him unable to fight, before using 'Sword Dash' to approach the other; Rishi had much more time to think and was entirely focused while his passive 'enhanced focus' was activated.
He used 'Quick Draw' in between dash to perform the combo attack; Rishi used 'Sword Dash' to chain towards the other opponent after both of his attacks landed on the first opponent's leg muscles and tendons. He executed another perfect combo and attacked the shoulders muscles of the second opponent before performing 'Sword Dash' again.
Rishi needed only one second to chain down from one opponent to another; Others could only see a blurred shadow moving at breakneck speed; when it came to a halt, they saw Rishi standing there. His hair and clothes were blowing in the wind, and he had several cuts on his body. Even then, no one would try to fight him if they saw the smirk on his face; he slowly re-sheathed his talwar before using 'Phantom Steps' to appear in front of Kajal and looked into her enchanting blue eyes.
