Tree Giant
Ochyra University Task Hall ke andar,
Students apne kaam mein masroof the jab achanak kuch log jo kale kapre aur safed cape pehne hue the, hall ke andar daakhil hue.
Guard foran unki taraf badha, lekin saamne chalne wale shaks ne ek badge dikhaya. Us badge ke upar chhota sa FAA ka nishaan tha aur neeche ek number 6 likha tha. Guard ne turant rasta de diya.
Wo group seedha receptionist ke paas gaya. Samne chalne wala jo leader lag raha tha, usne be-parwahi se kaha:
“Main Argus hoon FAA se. Mujhe Vouver City ka mission lena hai.”
Ye sunte hi hall mein ghumaan mach gaya.
“Argus? Yeh naam suna hua lagta hai…”
“Yaad nahi? Ye FAA ke president ka god liya hua beta hai!”
“Kehte hain wo ek Rank-6 Ice Elementalist hai… aur sabse hairat ki baat, abhi sirf 30 saal ka hai!”
“Ye to boht unche darje ka hai!”
Receptionist ne muskurate hue kaha:
“Sir Argus, zaroor, magar… waja jaan sakta hoon?”
Argus ne tez nazar us par daali jisse wo paseena-paseena ho gaya, phir bola:
“FAA ki assessment ghalat thi. Nayi maloomat ke mutabiq… is mission ke peeche ek Anansi hai.”
Ye sunte hi staff ke hosh udd gaye:
“ANANSI?! Kya aap us Anansi ki baat kar rahe hain jisne mashhoor Jerga ko maara tha? Jo ke ek peak Rank-6 Lava Elementalist tha?!”
Argus ne thandi saans bhari:
“Woh waala Anansi nahi. Ye ek jawan Anansi hai, baligh hone ke qareeb… Lekin haan, agar Anansi hai to is mission ko kam az kam ek Rank-5 Awakened sambhal sakta hai.”
Receptionist pareshan nazar aane laga. Argus ne foran poocha:
“Kya koi pehle hi mission le chuka hai?”
Staff ne dheere se sir hila diya. Argus ka chehra siyah ho gaya:
“Chalo, nikalte hain!” usne apni team ko hukm diya aur sab ghayab ho gaye.
---
Doosri taraf – Sikandar.
Supernatural makhlooqat ko unki intelligence se bhi classify kiya jata hai. Jo zyada aqalmand hote hain, wo insaan ki tarah soch samajh sakte hain. Neeche ke ranks mein kuch bilkul jaanwaron jese bewakoof hote hain.
Lekin sabse khatarnaak hamesha high intelligence Supernatural hote hain. Insaan fitratan achy paida hote hain – jab tak koi trigger na ho, insaan burai ka amal nahi karta. Magar… Supernatural jo insaan jese aqalmand hote hain, unke paas kisi qism ka zameer nahi hota.
---
“Adhara, kya tum in mana strings ko tod sakti ho?” Sikandar ne poocha.
Adhara ne Lamia ki jism par haath rakha, aankhein band ki…
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Strings phat kar chhoti chhoti dhamake karte. Jese hi strings tutein, Lamia ne apni jaddo-jehad band kar di.
Sikandar gehri soch mein kho gaya:
“Ye Supernatural bohot aqalmand hai. Isne tamam qatal is Lamia par daal diye, jabke khud aram se chhup kar baitha hua hai…”
Wo lashon ke paas jhuk kar dekhne laga.
“Isne kidneys khayi hain… Baqi jism bilkul salamat hai.”
Adhara ne bhi dekha aur kaha:
“Ye FAA ka uniform hai… Yaqeenan ye wohi team thi jo humse pehle bheji gayi thi.”
Sikandar ne haan mein sir hilaaya:
“Mujhe ye sab bilkul acha nahi lag raha. Chalo, Rosie aur Laura ke paas wapas chalte hain.”
Dono barish mein cave se nikle. Zameen kichi kichi aur jungle andhera. Kapde bheeg gaye, lekin Sikandar dil mein bechain tha.
Achaanak ek notification samne aayi:
<A hostile Supernatural is approaching Laura's location>
Sikandar ki aankhen phat gayi. Samajh nahi aaya system ko kaise pata chala, magar usne foran bharosa kiya. Dono bijli ki raftaar se bhaag nikle.
Jese hi hotel ke paas pohanche…
BOOM!
Hotel ka darwaza udd gaya. Koi cheez bahar uchhal kar unke samne zameen se takraayi.
Sikandar ne dekha to khoon khaulta mehsoos kiya—
Woh Rosie thi, puri tarah khoon-mein-lathpath, apni godh mein be-hos Laura ko uthaye hue.
“Uaakhhh!” Rosie ne khoon ugal diya.
Adhara daudi: “Rosie?! Kya hua?!”
Rosie ghutnon ke bal gir gayi. Laura be-hos thi magar safe. Rosie ne apni kaanphti ungli hotel ki taraf uthai.
Sikandar aur Adhara ne dekha—
Hotel ke andar se ek manhoos aura phail raha tha. Darwaze se tentacles nikle aur phir ek darakht jesa shaitaani jism saamne aaya. Uske pair sirf tentacles se bane the, 4 lambi baahen, daanton se bhara hua moonh aur hara zehrila dhuan nikal raha tha.
Uske haathon mein receptionist aur ek buddhi aurat latki hui thi— dono mana strings se puppet bane hue.
Sikandar ke andar khatra ki ghanti baj gayi.
<Daak>
Race: Tree Giant – Adult
Power: Early Rank-Four – Puppeteer
Mental: 40
Strength: 35
Agility: 29
Endurance: 106
Intelligence: 68
Sikandar ne thandi saans li:
“Ye to early Rank-Four Supernatural hai… aur Puppeteer bhi!”
Adhara ki aankhein hairani se phail gayin. Woh bina stats dekhe hi samajh gayi ke uske saamne jo Supernatural khara hai, woh Lamia se kahin zyada taaqatwar hai.
ROAARR!!
Daak ki dahaar ne Rosie aur Laura ko kaanpne par majboor kar diya.
“Hu…mans… will die!!” ek khurduri si awaaz sab ke kaanon mai ghus gayi.
Daak lafzon ko nikalne ke liye jaddo-jahd kar raha tha, lekin isse uski awaaz aur bhi khaufnaak lag rahi thi.
Achanak, Daak ke dono haathon se latakti receptionist aur boodhi aurat zameen par gir gayin. Kuch hi lamhon baad woh ajeeb andaaz mai uth khadi hoti hain. Unki aankhon mai hari roshni chamakne lagti hai.
Boodhi aurat ke baazu patle lekin khatarnak lakri ke nuqile hathiyaar ban gaye jo kisi bhi cheez ko phaad dalte.
Receptionist ke dono haath gol bante hue neeche dhar se takraaye aur chhoti si khudai (crater) bana di. Yeh wazeh tha ke unka wazan intehai bhaari hai.
RAARGHH!!
Dono ne charon ki taraf dahaar maar kar daudna shuru kar diya.
Is dauraan, Sikandar ka jism gusse se bhar gaya. Upar chamakti chandni usse be-khauf bana rahi thi.
Crack!! Crack!!
Zameen uske paon ke neeche phat rahi thi jab usne taaqat jama ki.
Phir woh bijli ki tarah aage dauda. Uske dono haathon mai safed roshni jagmagayi aur uska mukka seedha boodhi aurat ke pait mai ja laga.
BAAM!!
Sikandar dheemi awaaz mai fusahra: “Force Beam!”
WHOOSH!!
Boodhi aurat patang ki tarah udd gayi, uske pait mai aik bara suraakh ban gaya. Woh Daak se takra kar door jaa lagi.
Sikandar ki aankhen hairat se phail gayin. “Yeh Daak ka jism itna mazboot… 106 Endurance waqi hi mazaak nahi.”
Jab woh khayalon mai ghoom gaya, receptionist aurat achanak uske upar aa padi, apne pathar-jese haath neeche maarne ke liye.
Sikandar block karne hi wala tha ke ek tentacle ne uske haath pakad liye. Woh ghabra gaya, waqt hi nahi tha defend karne ka—
BAAM!!
Adhara achanak samne aayi aur ek zor-daar laat maar kar receptionist ko peeche gira diya.
“Don’t forget about me!” usne cheekh kar kaha.
Sikandar ne uski taraf dekh kar kaha:
“Us Tree Giant pe focus karo, uske puppets baar baar regenerate karte rahenge!”
Adhara ne sir hila kar agni ka jadoo jama karna shuru kar diya.
Sikandar tentacle kaatna chahta tha, lekin woh khud hairan tha ke yeh bohot mazboot hai.
Daak ki khurduri awaaz ghoonji:
“Mera ten…tacle, s…trong! Foolish!”
Sikandar ke honton par ek shaitani muskaan phail gayi:
“Sturdy toh ho… lekin…”
Usne tentacle ko apni taraf itni taaqat se kheencha ke Daak hawa mai udd kar uski taraf aa gaya.
“Main tumse kahin zyada strong hoon!”
Sikandar ki taaqat, uske equipment aur “Creature of The Night” skill ke saath, ab itni thi jaise ek Rank-4 Awakened jo sirf power par focus karta ho.
Uski aankhen surkh chamk uthi:
“Alpha Intimidation!”
<System prompt: Target ki stats 30% kam ho gayi>
Daak kamzor mehsoos karne laga. Isi waqt Adhara ki aankhon mai aag chamki aur uski awaz ghoonj uthi:
“Basic Magic: Burning Scimitars!!”
SHRINNG!!
Aag se bani darzno talwarein uske upar ghoomne lagin.
Adhara ne ungli Daak ki taraf uthai jaise maut ka hukm suna rahi ho.
Talwarein bijli ki raftaar se Daak par jhapat padi.
Daak ne tentacle uthakar block karne ki koshish ki, lekin—
ROAARR!!
Aag uske andar ghus gayi, tentacles ko jala kar koyle ki tarah kaala kar diya.
Sikandar ne is moka ka faida uthaya. Woh Daak ke upar kood kar uske sar ko do haathon se kuchalne aya—
BOOM!!
Lekin boodhi aurat beech mai aa gayi. Uska sar phat kar tikkar ki tarah ud gaya, aur woh zameen se takra kar ulajh gayi.
“Shit!!” Sikandar chilaya. Attack waste ho gaya.
Phir Daak ne tentacle se uski taang pakad li aur usse ghooma kar zameen mai patakh diya.
BAAAM!!
Dharti phat gayi.
“SIKANDAR!!” Adhara cheekh uthi.
Daak muskara kar Adhara ki taraf qatal ki niyat se dekha. Uska dil kaanp gaya. “Agar Sikandar ladne k qabil na raha toh main isse kabhi nahi hara sakti…”
Receptionist aurat aur boodhi aurat dono wapas regenerate ho kar samne aa gayin. Adhara ke pair kaanpne lage.
Tabhi ek awaaz uske kaanon mai ghoonj uthi:
“Dushman ko kabhi apna darr mat dikhana, Adhara… warna unki himmat aur barh jati hai.”
Dhool aur pathron ke darmiyan Sikandar dheere dheere uth kar samne aaya. Uski aankhen Daak par tiki thi.
Usne khoon thook kar kaha:
“Chalo… Round 2 shuru karein?”
---
ROAARRR!!
<Dushman apni Skill activate kar raha hai>
<Enemy Skill ka Analysis shuru...>
Daak gusse se dahadta hai jab usey Sikandar ke mazak udaye jane ka bura lagta hai.
Achanak lakdi ka element uske jism mein samanay lagta hai,
Uska jism dheere dheere phoolne lagta hai, muscles ubhar aate hain aur patle tentacle jo pehle kamar jitne patle the ab zehreelay aur mote ho gaye.
WHOOSH!!
Lakdi ka element hawa mein fail jata hai aur turant Daak ke jism mein ghus kar usey aur mazboot bana deta hai.
Sikandar jo abhi tak Awakened nahi hai, woh bhi Daak ke wood element ki shiddat ko mehsoos kar leta hai.
Daak apne tentacle uthata hai aur seedha Sikandar ki taraf nishana banata hai,
"Hu..man, will die!!"
Sikandar ne Daak ke stats dekhe toh woh khud hairan reh gaya:
<Daak>
Race: Tree Giant – Adult
Power: Early Rank Four – Puppeteer
Mental: 40
Strength: 75
Agility: 29
Endurance: 90
Intelligence: 68
Sikandar ko foran samajh aa gaya ke Daak ki strength ab lagbhag double ho chuki hai, lekin endurance kam ho gayi hai.
Uske jism par wood element chubhne laga tha, jaise ke yeh skill khud Daak ke liye bhi ek bojh ho.
Daak ne apne tentacles ghumaye aur poori taqat ke sath Sikandar ki taraf mara.
Adhara jo puppets se lad rahi thi, darr ke mare munh mod leti hai – usse yakeen tha ke Sikandar bach nahi payega.
BOOM!!
Zameen toot kar bikhar gayi, pathar aur debris goliyon ki tarah chaaron taraf phail gaye, dhool ka badal uth gaya.
Adhara ne ghabra kar dekha, "Nahi... Sikandar itni asaani se nahi haar sakta, hai na?"
Daak khush tha, use laga usne Sikandar ko khatm kar diya.
Lekin dhool chhatne lagi aur ek awaz goonj uthi –
"Not bad... Skill acchi hai."
Sikandar samne khada tha, muh se khoon beh raha tha magar chehre par ab bhi wohi shaitani muskaan.
Adhara ke chehre par khushi chamak uthi, lekin Daak ka chehra aur zyada badsoorat ho gaya gusse se.
Tabhi system ki notification ayi:
<Skill Analysis Complete>
<Requirements not met… Altering Skill…>
<Skill Learned: Brace of Moonlight>
Sikandar ne foran nayi skill use ki:
WHOOSH!!
Chaandni ki roshni uske jism mein ghus gayi, muscles aur barh gaye, uski body mazboot ho gayi.
Uska force aura itna condense ho gaya ke ek boond barish bhi uske paas 1 meter se zyada nahi aa rahi thi.
Uski aankhon mein paagalpan chamak utha.
Uske peechay ek Laal Rang ka Werewolf ka AURA ban gaya jo khooni killing intent faila raha tha.
Rosie aur Adhara dono ki saansen rukne lagin, Daak darr kar peeche hat gaya.
Daak ki aankhen phat gayin, "Tu... tu insaan nahi hai!!"
Rosie ne poore zor ke sath kaha, "Wind Favor!!"
Usne apni sari mana jala kar Sikandar ke paon ke neeche hawa ke par bana diye.
<Agility +10>
Sikandar muskura kar dheemi awaaz mein bola: "Alpha Intimidation."
Uski laal chamakti aankhon ne Daak ke stats 30% kam kar diye.
WHOOSH!!
Sikandar apni jagah se gaayab ho gaya.
Daak ghabra gaya, idhar udhar dekhne laga – use lag raha tha maut uske kareeb mandra rahi hai.
Achanak Sikandar uske peeche se nikla aur ek mukka uske peeth par maara –
BAAAM!!
Daak ud kar door ja gira, uske andar ke organs hil gaye aur usne hare rang ka khoon ulti kar diya.
Uske rukne se pehle hi Sikandar samne aa kar phir se mukka maar deta hai –
BOOM!!
Phir se – BOOM!!
Aur phir se – BOOM!!
Aakhir Daak ek ghar tod kar zameen par crash hua.
Rosie ne dekh kar lambi saans li, uski aankhon mein admireshan chamak uthi, Adhara halki muskaan ke sath kehti hai:
"Yeh... pehle se kai guna zyada taqatwar ho gaya hai."
Rosie dil mein sochti hai, “Ab waqt aa gaya hai use apne parents se milwane ka...”
Sikandar dheere dheere Daak ki taraf chala, uska haath chamak raha tha safed noor se.
Daak zameen par pada tha, jism se hara khoon behta hua, tentacles kat chuke the.
Lekin jaise hi Sikandar use khatm karne aage badhta hai –
BOOM!!
Zameen se ek kaala tentacle nikalta hai aur seedha Sikandar ke seene ko phaad deta hai.
SPLURT!!
Khoon fountain ki tarah nikla, Sikandar ka jism hila aur uske muh se khoon ugalta hai, "Huakhkk!!"
"SIKANDAR!!" Adhara aur Rosie dono cheekh uthti hain.
Adhara ki aankhon mein laal roshni bhar jaati hai, woh aag ke tufaan ke sath upar uchhalti hai:
"BURNING SCIMITARS!!"
Aag ke darjan talwaar Daak ke upar barsi, uske jism ko andar se jala kar khaak kar diya.
Adhara ne Sikandar ka sir apni god mein rakha, aansuon se bheegi awaz mein boli:
"Sikandar! Mujhse baat karo, please!"
Sikandar muskuraya, khoon ke sath khansi karte hue:
"Main... bas careless ho gaya. Main marne wala nahi..."
Tabhi system ki notification ayi:
<User is infected with Tree Giant’s Poison – Movement severely restricted>
Adhara ne Sikandar ke seene ka zakham dekha – ek khaufnaak suraakh jo khoon se bhar raha tha...
"SOMEBODY!! HELP!!" Adhara cheekh kar madad mang rahi thi, uski awaaz mein be-basi barh gayi thi.
Sikandar aur Rosie ko foran medical madad ki zarurat thi unke khaufnaak zakhmon ki wajah se, jabke Laura be-hosh thi kisi unknown wajah se aur usey bhi turant ilaaj chahiye tha.
Adhara madad dhundhne ki koshish kar rahi thi, lekin isi dauran Sikandar gehri soch mein dooba hua tha, usay dil ke andar ek ajeeb si bechaini mehsoos ho rahi thi.
"Toh yeh sheher uss Tree Giant ke control mein hai… isiliye jo insaan humse miley woh asal mein murda jase the jo uske control mein chal rahe the. Unka pale skin aur ajeeb harkatein ab samajh aati hain… Lekin phir bhi ek baat samajh nahi aati. Tree Giant insano ke kidneys kyun khata?" Sikandar ne socha.
Woh zameen par be-basi se pada tha, jab usne wohi chhota ladka dekha jo pehle bhi samne aaya tha. Ladka dahshat zada lag raha tha aur woh Tree Giant ke carcass ki taraf ishara kar raha tha jaise keh raha ho, "Wahan dekho!"
Sikandar ne mushkil se apna jism hila kar Tree Giant ke dead body ki taraf dekha, aur uspar ek shafaf purple crystal chamak raha tha. Usne karwat le kar us crystal ko gaur se dekha… aur phir uski aankhein hiran reh gayi.
"ADHARA!! RUN!!" Sikandar zor se cheekha aur Adhara ko dhakka de kar peeche gira diya.
Adhara girte hue uski taraf hairani se dekhti hai.
Sikandar ki awaaz goonj uthi, "Woh Tree Giant bhi kisi aur ke control mein tha!!"
Yeh sunkar Adhara ka chehra safed pad gaya. Achanak darya ke paani se ek sard aur rooh kaamp dene wali aura nikalti hai.
ROAARRR!!
Sikandar, Adhara aur Rosie ne ek hi waqt mein apni gardanein mor kar us awaaz ke source ki taraf dekha…
Aur phir –
Darya ke gehraiyon se ek darinda bahar nikla. Ek bari siyah makri, jiska peechay ka hissa peeli dhariyon se bhara hua tha.
Woh makri aasani se do manzila imarat jitni badi thi! Uski 8 taangein ek ek talwar ki tarah tez thi, aur samne ke 2 panje talwaron ki tarah chamak rahe the. Uska mooh khula aur usmein teekhi rakhon jaisi daant chamak uthe. Us se nikalne wali aura usi level ki thi jaise pehle Sikandar ne Pawn Vampire se mehsoos ki thi – aur woh aura itni suffocating thi keh saans lena mushkil ho gaya.
"ANANSI?!!" Adhara ne larazti hui awaaz mein cheekha.
Sikandar aur ladkiyan usay dekh kar be-basi mehsoos kar rahi thi. Woh sab haarnay ke qareeb thay.
Makri ne dheere dheere apna sar Sikandar ki taraf modhna shuru kiya. Woh chand seconds ek hamesha jaise lag rahe the. Aur phir uske 8 khaufnaak aankhon ka nishana Sikandar aur uski team thi.
Anansi ne apna sir uthaya jaise woh unki be-basi par fakhr kar raha ho.
Sikandar ke dimagh mein khayal ghoom gaya,
"Samajh aaya… Tree Giant insano ke kidneys nahi khata. Is sab ke peeche Anansi hai… Trickster Spider! Pura sheher ek jhaal hai jo isne bun rakha hai!"
Apne zakhmon ke bawajood, Sikandar ne khud ko uthana shuru kiya.
Yeh dekh kar Adhara foran uska haath pakadti hai aur usey uthaati hai. Sikandar ab sirf apne jazbe aur iraday ki taqat se khada tha, warna uske jism mein taqat bilkul khatam ho chuki thi.
Rosie bhi peeche nahi rahi, usne bhi apne zakhamon ke bawajood khud ko uthaya – tayar apni aakhri jung ke liye.
"Main isay yun khatam nahi hone dunga!" Sikandar ne socha, uski aankhon mein azm aur aag jal rahi thi.
---
"If we can't win, we need to run!"
Sikandar ne apni inventory kholi aur jaldi jaldi cheezein dhundhne laga.
Usne Adhara aur Rosie ki taraf ek mana potion aur ek healing potion pheka,
"Jaldi piyo! Humein yahan se nikalna hoga!"
Sikandar ne apna sar Anansi ki taraf ghumaya… jo usne dekha usse uske daant kas gaye.
---
<Qisar>
Race: Anansi / Trickster Spider – Teen
Power: Mid Rank Five – Hypnosis
Mental: 210
Strength: 93
Agility: 112
Endurance: 90
Intelligence: 165
---
Ye stats dekh kar Sikandar ke dimaag me sirf ek khayal aya:
"Hum isse kabhi nahi hara sakte… yeh tou ek nayi level ki cheez hai!"
"Bhago! Hum ise hara nahi sakte!" Sikandar cheekha… lekin Rosie aur Adhara ne koi jawab nahi diya.
Jab usne un dono ki taraf dekha, tou woh dono khali khali aankhon se spider ko ghur rahi thein… aur phir dheere dheere uski taraf chalne lagein jaise kisi jaadu ke under aa gayi hoon.
Sikandar ne dekha ke Qisar ki aankhein peeli roshni se chamak rahi hain. Spider uske saath khel raha tha.
Usne foran apni nazar modh li aur dimag ghuma ke sochne laga… usne inventory check ki aur uske haath me aa gaye: ek Smoke Bomb aur ek Rank-4 Anti-Magic Stone.
Smoke Bomb: Asaan samajh aane wali cheez.
Anti-Magic Stone: Rank-4 magic ko disrupt karta hai aur caster ke spell ko bigaad deta hai.
Sikandar ne yeh stone mehngi qeemat par khareeda tha, kyun ke usse pata tha Rank-4 se upar ke opponents uske liye na-mumkin hain. Lekin yeh tou Rank-5 nikla!
Phir bhi usne dono cheezein nikal li.
---
POOFF!!
BLITZZ!!
Dhuwan chhata aur ek tez anti-magic ki soundwave area mein phail gayi.
Dhuwan ke andar… Sikandar Adhara aur Rosie ke paas bhaga, dono ko behosh kar diya aur ek haath mein unhe uthaya. Dusre kandhe par Laura ko daal liya aur bhaagne ke liye taiyar ho gaya.
Magar…
Qisar sirf ek lamha ke liye pareshan hua, phir foran recover karke uske saamne aa khada hua.
Sikandar zameen par gir gaya, usne poori taqat ikatthi ki aur apna sabse zyada powerful punch maara.
BAM!!
Punch seedha Qisar ke saamne ke paon par pada… lekin koi asar nahi hua. Ek invisible barrier ne uske pure jism ko cover kiya hua tha.
Sikandar ka dil toot gaya, ek kassi hui muskaan uske chehre par aayi:
"Yeh bohot zyada taqatwar hai… Kya yahin sab khatam hai?"
---
Tabhi achanak ek zor daar awaaz gunji:
"OY! BAREE MAKRI!! BACHON KO TANG KARNA CHORH!!"
Sikandar ne chonk kar dekha… Vouver City ke entrance par safed cape pehne hue aadmiyon ka ek group khada tha. Unke seene par FAA ka badge chamak raha tha.
Awaaz me magic bhari hui thi. Qisar ne gusse se unki taraf dekha aur phir un par leap kiya.
Unka leader jisme se awaaz aayi thi, uske jism se mana phootne laga aur uski peeth par ek sabz chamakdar rune nazar aaya.
Rank-5 Awakened hone ke liye rune condense karna padta hai – rune unhe higher tier magic ko borrow karne ki taqat deta hai. Sound Magic, Lava Magic, Ice Magic jaise spells woh tabhi chala sakte hain. Rank-6 par woh rune ko master kar lete hain aur nature ki magic ko directly control karte hain.
Leader ne chant kiya:
"Sound Magic! SOUND ASSAULT!!"
WONNNGGG!!
Hawa hil gayi, Qisar ruka aur uska saamne wala paon puri shiddat se kaanpne laga… aur phir DHHAAAM! ke saath phat gaya!
Qisar dard se cheekha, lekin phir bhi aur zyada gusse me unki taraf dauda.
Uski aankhein dobara peeli chamakne lagi aur ek zordaar mental attack FAA ke group ki taraf gya.
Leader ne haath hilaaya, aur ek aur aadmi jisme safed hood tha, foran aage aya. Usne apne haath se runic pattern banaya aur chillaya:
"Stone Magic! BARRIER OF STONE!!"
Mana uske haath me ikattha hone laga… lekin tabhi—
ROAARR!!
Qisar ki aankhein dobara chamkein… aur mana bigad gaya.
BOOM!!
Ek dhamaka hua, aur woh aadmi hawa mein ud kar zameen par ghir gaya. Uski cape jal gayi aur woh ek wooden fence me jaa takraya.
Leader ne bhari awaaz mein cheekha:
"Focus raho! Anansi sirf dimaag ko nahi, jism ko bhi control karta hai!"
Phir usne apna haath hilaaya aur foran ek ice barrier unke group ke aas paas khara ho gaya, jo unhe mental attack se bacha raha tha.
NGIING!!
Group leader ne barrier khola aur aaram se bola,
“Nathan, iska movement roko!”
Uske daaye haath par khada ek muscular aadmi sir hila kar chant karne laga,
“Sand Magic, Quicksand!”
Phir usne dono haath zameen par patak diye.
ROARRR!!
Qisar ke neeche ki zameen achaanak ret ban gayi. Qisar ne khud ko kheench kar nikalne ki koshish ki, lekin quicksand ka daira tez raftari se barhta ja raha tha.
“Lindo! Restrain it!” leader ne apne baaye haath wale chhote qadd ke aadmi se kaha, jo ek metal staff pakad ke khara tha jiske upar laal orb chamak raha tha.
Woh aadmi ne staff uthaya aur zor se bola:
“Lava Magic, Lava Chain!”
Zameen se achaanak lava ki zanjeerein phoot kar nikli aur Qisar ki taangon aur jism ko lapet liya. Ab woh poori tarah quicksand ke andar phans chuka tha.
Leader aage barha, uske chehre par nafrat aur ghamand tha. Uske haath ke ird gird barf ka element jamna shuru hua.
“Mar ja gande janwar,” usne nafrat bhari awaaz me kaha, aur chant kiya:
“Great Ice Magic, Ice Judgement!”
SHRING!!
Ek bara barfani kanta jo ek ghar jitna mota tha, Qisar ke jism ko cheertay hue andar ghus gaya. Qisar ne khoon bhari aankhon ke saath cheekh maar kar tarrapna band kar diya.
Magar leader yahin nahi rukka—
SHRING!!
Ek aur barf ka kanta seedha Qisar ke sar ko ghonpe gaya, taake woh bilkul mar jaye aur dobara uth na sake.
“Surroundings check karo,” leader ne hukm diya, phir uski nazar Sikandar aur larkiyon par padi.
FAA group ke log har kone aur imarat check karne nikal gaye.
Leader saamne aaya aur bola,
“Tum hi woh ladke ho jo ye mission le kar aaye? Mera naam Argus hai, aur FAA ki taraf se hum tum se maafi maangte hain apni ghalti ke liye.”
Usne halka jhuk kar apni sincerity dikhayi.
Sikandar ne bhauen churayi:
“Sab se pehle, shukriya humein bachaane ka. Lekin ye ghalti kis baat ki?”
Argus seedha khada ho gaya:
“Assessment mein rank five awakened dikhaya gaya tha, lekin humein Anansi ki maujoodgi ka ilm nahi tha. Is wajah se galat mission assessment hua.”
Sikandar ki awaaz tez ho gayi:
“Tum samajhte ho aik simple maafi kafi hai? Agar ye mission theek assess hota to hum yahan aate hi nahi.”
Argus ke chehre par gussa aaya:
“Zyada hadh cross mat karo, bache,” usne ghoor kar kaha.
Sikandar ne sakhti se jawab diya:
“Kya tum mujhe dhamka rahe ho? Maafi se zyada tum par zimmedari banti hai.”
Dono ki aankhon ka intense stare itna bhari tha ke FAA ke log chup ho gaye. Koi darmiyaan mein aane ki himmat nahi kar raha tha.
Lagbhag tees second ke baad Argus ne gaze tod di.
“Theek hai. Mujhe pata hai tum Sikandar Silverstar ho. Tumhe proper medical treatment diya jaayega aur tumhari university se points aur rewards ke bare mein baat ki jaayegi. Lekin agli dafa, mujhe ulta jawab mat dena. Iss dafa tumhari waja se mere uncle jang mein bache the, warna main tumhe yun nahi chhodta.”
Sikandar ne zor se daant kas li, magar samajh gaya ke zyada push karna behtareen nahi hoga. Usne sirf sar hila diya—lekin dil mein socha ke is ghamandi aadmi ka karz aur gussa woh kabhi bhulega nahi.
Tab tak FAA ke log laut aaye aur report di. Argus ki nazar shehar ke darmiyaan pade ek Tree Giant ke laashe par gayi. Usne Sikandar ki taraf hairani se dekha.
“Kya yeh usne maara? University mein chalne wali afwaah sach thi?” Argus ne dil hi dil mein socha.
Larkiyan FAA group ke log uthakar gaadi tak le gaye. Sab ko SUV mein bithakar woh shehar se bahar nikal gaye. Shehar ke bare mein confirm hua ke yeh poora shehar ek corpse city tha—jo Anansi ne trap ke liye banaya tha.
Raste mein, Sikandar ne system notifications kholi:
<Killed an Early Rank Four Tree Giant, Obtained 15,000 Exp and 2000 Gold>
<Participated in killing a Middle Rank Five Anansi, Obtained 30,000 Exp and 5000 Gold>
<DING!!>
<Sudden Quest Completed: Killing Intent!>
<Obtained 50,000 Exp, 10,000 Gold, and 5 Skill Upgrades>
<Level Up!>
<Level Up!>
<Level Up!>
Sikandar ke chehre par muskaan thi.
“Risk zyada tha… lekin return aur bhi bara. Yeh sahi kehte hain—high risk, high reward.”

Sikandar ne tasalli se sir hilaaya, phir piche dekha—SUV ke andar larkiyan sleeping bags mein lipti behosh pari thin.
“Ab university wapas jaa rahe hain… ab main bhi thoda aaram kar sakta hoon.”
Zehar aur thakaan ke bojh taley, uski aankhen band ho gayin aur woh be-hosh si neend mein chala gaya.
