Battle in the valley

For the fisrt time Pranay clearly noticed the second prince. He had an average built and his face was very pale with much redder eyes, holding twin black blade into his hand second prince had his signature arrogant smirk on his face.

Second prince was outmatched by quite a large margin by shiva. But he was sure that he could defeat this man even though he was surprised that the man was still younger than him and already so powerful. Since when does lowly dynasties started the birth of such warriors.

Pranay thrusted his golden umbrella towards the second prince and was blocked by twin blades. Second prince agilely shifted to the the side and kicked. Pranay used the momentum to lean forward narrowly escaping the kick and quickly folded his umbrella, it now looked more like a metal pole and attacked second prince not giving him time to regain balance. Second prince only had enough time to use one blade to block the attack but the impact was heavy and he was thrown few meters away. There were quite a few internal injuries. Second prince jumped and stood straight pointing his blades towards the pranay ans said in a satisfied tone," You are a good opponent. It had been so long since I could enjoy fight with someone my age or younger."

Second prince was a self proclaimed genius. He loved to fight and that's why he was manipulated by crown prince to come here.

Meanwhile.....

Beast like man rushed toward the shiva. From the other side shadow horse was approaching.

Shiva knelt on one knee and touched the ground with one hand.

The valley started shaking and soon many pointy rocks came out from the ground covering 50 meters radius around him. Shadow horse and beast like man both were in this range. Rocks penetrated the shadow horse easily and shadow horse was stopped midway. Shiva wanted to atleast finish one opponent to decrease the burden. So he looked in the direction of shadow horse and focused. Earth started rumbling at the position of the shadow horse and soon a deep crater was formed there shadow horse fell into the crater. The pit was deep enough so that it could not come out. And shadow horse was already injured reducing it's power by half.

Shiva looked towards the beast like man as now shadow horse had already been taken care of.

But all the rocks were crushed easily by his bare foot. And it only slightly reduced his speed.

A golden barrier made of Earth started forming in front of shiva and it was increasing layers by layer.

Beast like man jumped forward and punched the golden barrier. It reduced the impact of punch but shiva was still thrown several meters back.

Beast like man against jumped forward towards shiva not giving him time to adjust. And shiva not finding any time to evade activated domain of life and golden barrier together. A barrier came in front of shiva but this time it was greenish yellow in colour. And it looked like an ancient carved stone with many root like pattern on it. Shiva already had the idea about this but this was the first time he used the domain of life with earth magic. After seeing the golden ball of consciousness, he guessed that the life energy can be combined into elemental magic. And even though the life energy seems so weak but once it is added to the the elemental power there is dramatic increase in the overall outcome. According to shiva that's why the golden ball of consciousness had lived through centuries and was pretty powerful in one sense.

As the beast like man's punch landed on the barrier there was a loud thud sound and he was rebounded back several meters and his hand was .

Huge amount of sand and rocks started revolving around shiva and it all started converging towards shiva's hand.

Few seconds later shiva was holding a spear made of condensed sand and rocks and it had life-like carving of leaves.

Shiva looked towards the beast like man and rage was apparent on his face. He dashed towards the beast like man.

Beast like man had beastly instinct and it told him to run right away. After seeing the capabilities and mysterious prowses of the boy he had already decided that the Ka'al had made a very powerful enemy for itself. He was gonna use his last of power to land a deadly attack because even though he wanted to run away there was no route of escape from this boy.

Black gas started forming around him. And his body again grew in size. His eyes were blood red colour.

"Bang"

He jumped forward and ground where he was standing before shattered. He was burning his blood to boost his strength.

Shiva also jumped towards the man. Once shiva was near beast like man he noticed that the black gas started to dull his senses and a claw was going to slice his head.

A moment later the spear had pierced the heart of beast like man and he fell on the ground. And the last expression on his eyes was fear because he saw something.

When shiva's head was about to be sliced off suddenly he gained clarity and pierced beast like man's heart . But at that time his eyes were filled with the unknown energy that belonged to him and that gave him clarity. And when beast like man saw shiva's eyes he shuddered due to fear. It only appeared for a moment but within that moment beast like man felt like how insignificant his existence is.

With fear came the thought that his death was well justified as he had fought with someone that is way beyond he could perceive.

After the death of beast like man his body started petrifying very fast. This was the result of using forbidden technique.
