The woman’s sharp eyes lingered on Sharv as she spoke.
“You kept me waiting...”
Then her gaze shifted to Vijay.
“Ah~ so a spirit has come along too, this time? Is he your servant spirit?”
Sharv and Vijay said nothing, just stood there.
The woman pouted when both of them didn't said anything. She stepped forward once, raised her hand a little, and asked.
“Why don’t you answer?”
Swish!
She lowered her hand and then...
‘!!!’
Sharv fell to the ground on his stomach.
‘Th…this…what the fuck is this?!’
Sharv didn’t understand at all, he is now collapsed flat on the ground.
And not only that, he is feeling as though some invisible weight has been loaded upon him.
So heavy that he can not rise properly.
‘Sharv! What happened to you?!’
Vijay asked, but Sharv didn’t reply. Because of that immense pressure, he couldn’t even open his mouth properly.
Vijay looked at the woman l, and shouted,
‘What have you done to him?! Release him at once!’
“Release?… Muhh~ After so long, food has come to me, how could I possibly let it go?”
The woman took another step forward.
This time Vijay drew out his peacock feather, glaring at the woman with anger.
“Tsk! Foolish spirit… wait for your turn!”
Swing!
‘!!!’
The woman swung her hand sideways...
‘Ugh!’
Vijay was suddenly flung in the same direction where the woman had swung her hand, and smashed into a wall.
‘W-wh…when did this wall appear?’
Because before, there had been no wall there at all, only an open ground stretching into infinity, without walls or anything else.
“Just stay there for a while, you lowly spirit...”
Step! Step!
The woman walked closer and closer to Sharv. Sharv was still pinned to the ground.
He had seen how, with just the motion of her hand, Vijay had been blown away and slammed into that wall by some invisible force.
He understood at least one thing, that invisible power was being caused by the woman’s hands.
‘How powerful she is…’
Sharv was terrified, but also excited. The corner of Sharv’s lips slowly started to curl upward.
He was thinking that if he could make this woman his spirit servant, it would be perfect.
But there was something that didn't add up to his mind.
Firstly, the spirits are the most powerful when the person they are attacking doesn't notice them, according to that book.
But even though being directly in front of her, she unleashed such great power? How?
And secondly,
Most of the spirits use illusions inside the person's consciousness, to make the person's consciousness break completely, so that the spirit could take over their body.
At first Sharv thought that, the darkness, and everything. That was an illusion created by this spirit.
But, these illusions feel just way too real.
Because according to that book, illusions can't be too real, there's always a path to break free from the illusion.
But here, there are none. And thirdly,
In an illusion the spirit doesn't show themselves very much, only while taking over the human's consciousness, they appear.
Like how Vijay appeared in front of Sharv's consciousness, to take over his body. While he was suffering from the memory of her mother's death.
But this woman?
She came too early. And that too not in his consciousness, but in a completely different place.
If these things were taken into account, then this person couldn't be considered a spirit!
Sharv strained his body. He could hear the women's voice.
“Now…became my food qui...”
But then, the women saw Sharv beginning to rise.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
Slowly, Sharv was pushing himself up from where he had been pinned, first on his knees and now standing back on his feet, as he asked her.
“You… you’re not a spirit, are you?”
The woman looked at Sharv with a very confused expression, as if she couldn’t understand what that boy was saying.
“In what way do I seem like a spirit to you? Huh?”
Sharv had already suspected and now his thoughts were true.
‘What a shame, she could've been a good pet dog, if she was a spirit.’
The woman’s brows arched higher as she saw Sharv, now standing fully upright thought his legs were shivering.
His strength was starting to interest her. But she was hungry, very hungry and weak too because of hunger. So, she decided not to play too long with this kid.
“Tch! Tch! Don’t force me to use my hands!”
Swish!
‘?!’
The woman lifted her hand, and suddenly Sharv’s body was pulled toward her.
Pak!
She grabbed Sharv by the throat. The force she used to draw him closer… felt strangely familiar to Sharv.
‘Samavesh?’
He thought, but no, that wasn't samavesh.
The range from which she pulled Sharv, doesn't match with the range at which samavesh works.
“Boy, this domain is under my rule. You should understand now, you cannot do anything here... So just quietly become my meal… and die.”
‘Let him go!’
Vijay shouted, throwing his peacock feather towards the woman, at a terrifying speed.
Seeing it coming, the woman tilted her head slightly aside. But then, right in front of her eyes, the feather suddenly changed direction.
Now it was flying straight downwards at the hand, with which she held Sharv’s throat.
‘Tch!’
Thud!
The woman released Sharv’s throat, dropping him down on the ground.
“Looks like I’ll have to finish you first.”
The woman blocked the peacock feather with her two fingers, preventing it from piercing her.
Then, pointing her finger at Vijay, she gestured upward. And so, Vijay’s body was lifted into the air.
Then...
Chakchakchakachakachakchakchak!...
‘!!!’
Countless black coloured spears formed within the ground, which pierced through Vijay’s body, making him hang onto the mysteriously formed wall behind his back.
‘AHHHH!!’
Vijay was a spirit, he shouldn’t have been able to feel pain.
But right now, for some reason, he felt extreme pain from those black spears.
He knew, that pain could only be felt if he were attacked with Death Prana.
As far as he knew, only Sharv among humans could wield Death Prana.
Or else, a spiritual master attempting to seal, subdue or to kill him. Only then could he feel pain.
So then, how was he feeling this pain right now?
‘Are these spears… made of Death Prana?’
He thought. His eyes were shaking, his body was in immense pain.
“Just stay there and wait your turn.”
She looked back at Sharv. He was already back on his feet again.
But this time, his eyes were fixed on the woman. And strangely, there was no trace of fear in them.
The woman once more stretched her hand toward Sharv, and again his body was pulled toward her by that invisible power.
But this time, before Sharv could reach her hands, he too thrust his hand forward, just like her.
Bang!
‘..!’
Their powers collided with a loud crash, forcing both their hands backward in recoil.
‘Samavesh…’
Sharv had used Samavesh.
Because that invisible force the woman was using, was trying to pull Sharv towards her. So, Sharv decided to counter it with his own Samavesh.
And Samavesh’s very nature was to draw anything in this world toward oneself.
So Sharv used Samavesh to draw the woman’s invisible power to itself.
Both of them tried to pull each other, which caused them to collide and then repel apart, just like magnets repelling each other when the same poles are brought together.
The woman was slightly startled to see this.
Her eyes fixed on Sharv’s hand, as though she sensed something. Then her expression changed, her beautiful face darkened with rage.
In a icy cold tone she said to Sharv,
“...You…where did you learn Samavesh?”
‘?!’
‘She knows about it?’
Sharv was shocked, because according to Vijay.
Samavesh was a forbidden technique, one written by his ancestors in that book, ‘The Wall Between Spirit and Man’.
And the outside world wasn’t supposed to know about it. So then, how in the world did this woman know?
Bam!
‘!!!’
This time the woman herself, with fierce speed, rushed straight toward Sharv.
In just a single instant, she closed the distance between her and Sharv.
Sharv too became alert, and he thought of stepping back,
‘?!’
A wall had appeared behind him.
When did it get there? He hadn’t even noticed, and now a wall was blocking his retreat.
The woman was rushing right in front of Sharv now.
At that very moment, Sharv leapt sideways.
TAK!!!
The woman’s claw struck toward Sharv with force, but because he had leapt aside, the claw didn’t land fully; only grazed his body slightly.
Thud!
But even from that slight touch, Sharv felt a searing pain.
‘If her claw had landed fully, my torso would have burst apart!’
The woman glared at Sharv with furious eyes.
This time her anger was completely visible, as if they were literally burning with fire.
“Where did you learn that technique!!!”
Wooooooong!
‘!!!!’
When the woman released her internal energy, Sharv’s eyes went wide.
The sheer amount of internal energy;Prana was...too, too much.
‘This…is this really internal energy...So much of it!’
So much that if Sharv compared it with the White Frost Bandits’ Chief, then in front of this woman, that chief would be nothing more than a infant.
Drip!
A drop of sweat rolled down Sharv’s forehead.
He felt as if he was standing at the bottom of a bottomless abyss.
From above, only a single ray of light shone down. And at the top of that abyss that woman was standing.
That was the difference in their internal energy.
To him, it felt as if this women is at the pinnacle of humanity in terms of power.
And Sharv... He looked just like a tiny insect, in front of her. A tiny miserable, and powerless insect.
However…
Sharv didn’t know why, but along with extreme fear, he also felt a strange calm when sensing the woman’s internal energy.
It was the same feeling he had experienced when he had first absorbed Death Prana into his body.
“Tell me, where did you learn that technique!!!”
Swish!
“!!!!”
This time, the woman thrust her hand toward Sharv, but...
Tung!
With a strange sound, Sharv was blown backward.
Pak!
He crashed into a wall behind him, which formed out of nowhere.
“Uhhh!”
Thud!
He fell down. This force was the exact opposite of the mysterious one before.
The previous one had pulled him toward the woman, but this one pushed him away.
The woman walked over to Sharv.
Slam!
She pressed her foot on his head heavily, and asked again with force.
“Tell me! Where did you learn it?! Otherwise I’...”
“Gravity…”
“?!”
“Huff! Huff! The power you are constantly using… it’s ‘Gravitational Force’… isn’t it?”
The woman’s eyes went wide. Seeing that, Sharv’s lips slightly curled upward.
“And this place… this blackness all around… all of this is actually your Domain, which is made by using... ‘Domain Control’… isn’t it?”
‘!!!’
Hearing all this, the woman was shaken.
Grit!
She clenched her jaw tight.
She was just about to press harder with her foot on Sharv’s head when suddenly.
“You want to know how I know all this? Tch!… Too bad, you’ll never know!”
Sharv pressed on the vital point between his eyes, this spot is extremely important for a human, because here the brain is the least protected.
And at the same time, this is where the sixth chakra and the third eye reside.
In Ayurveda, this point is called Sthapani point(1), also know as the Mind’s Point or the Third Eye’s Point.
Tak!
“Cough!”
Sharv vomited blood.
Blood began to flow down and Sharv's emotionless eyes started closing.
“You foolish boy!!!”
The woman lifted her foot from his head and tried to stabilize him.
She wanted to chop Sharv’s head off right then, but for interrogating this boy, saving him was more urgent.
Seeing Sharv’s eyes shutting completely.
Tak! Tak! Tak! Tak! Tak!
The woman quickly pressed his head’s every pressure points, trying to stop the blood from flowing.
“You son of a bitch! Aren’t you afraid of death?!”
Sharv’s eyes had fully closed now.
The blood had stopped flowing from his head, but now even his breath was fading.
“No! No! Wake Up! You Bastard!!!”
He was dying.
Slap!
The women slapped him hardly on his cheeks.
But nothing happened.
“ARGHH! WAKE UP!! YOU MOTHERFUCKER, ANSWER MY QUESTIONS!!!”
