After seeing instructor Shyam leave, Aarv quickly took out the gift that Maharawal Ratan Simha gave him. Aarv carefully took out the gift and unwrapped the cloth surrounding it.
Soon an 11 Inch long sword appeared before Aarv. The sword had a very narrow body with a very broad crescent-shaped head. On the spine of the sword, there was an eye carved on it. When Aarv tried to lift up the sword, he was surprised by the fact that the sword was too heavy.
The sword weighed at least 75kg. When Aarv lifted the sword from its clothing, a system prompt appeared in front of him.
[Congratulation player for obtaining The Mahakali Sword…]

]
After reading the description, Aarv looked at the sword in his hand which was emitting warm energy and said, "You will be my first sword which I will use to eradicate all the evil in the world…"
As soon As he said these words, Aarv's vision blurred. When his vision recovered, he a battlefield in front of him Where nine goddesses were fighting an Asura. A demon who had had a peculiar power which allowed him to use his blood to create clones of himself.
The nine Goddesses fought with the Asura but whenever the Asura got injured and his blood spilt on the ground, a new Asura clone was born from the blood. This made it really difficult for the Goddesses to fight against him.
"Hahahaha…" His maniacal laughter filled the heavens with terror as he kept cloning himself.
Aarv knew this Asura from the stories told by his mother. His name was Raktabija. He had received the blessing that his blood will become a seed with which he can clone himself indefinitely. The condition was that his blood must drip on the ground.
Then he saw Goddess Kali coming forward. She extended her tongue and sucked up all the blood that was dripping from the Asura's body making her tongue blood red. This stopped the Asura from making more clones of himself resulting in his remaining clones getting killed by the nine Goddesses. Before long, all the blood was sucked out of Raktabija's body. Goddess Kali then took her sword which was identical to the sword in the hands of Aarv and beheaded the Asura Raktabija.
Then the Goddess turned her head towards Aarv and took out her bright red tongue sending shiver running down Aarv's spine as his vision blurred again.
Before Aarv know it, he was back inside his room with the Mahakali Sword in his hands. He knew that the scenes he saw were memories of the sword inside his hand. Just as he was about to wrap the sword, he received a message from the system.
[ Congratulations Player Aarv for getting conditional recognition of Mahakali Sword…]
[ Condition: The sword can only be used against evil. If used against a good person, the sword will leave and choose another master…]
After reading the conditions, Aarv carefully placed the sword back inside the cloth and put it away. Aarv decided to not use the sword and gave it to a person who was suitable for it. He knew that as a lord, his hands will be filled with blood regardless if the other person was good or bad.
After keeping the sword, he spent the whole afternoon resting inside his house. He knew full well that the upcoming days were going to be very hard so he wanted to take this peaceful opportunity to rest.
---
Later that afternoon, an unexpected guest arrived at Aarv's house. Aarv personally went to receive the guest,
"Welcome, Badal Singh Ji…"
Aarv escorted Badal Singh to his temporary study room and asked respectfully, "What happened Badal Ji…? "
Although Rajput Commander Badal Singh looked relaxed from the outside when he met Aarv, Aarv was still able to see the worry in his eyes. When Badal Singh heard Aarv's question, he felt really ashamed of himself as he said, "The task of capturing the traitors… one of them escaped our net before I could catch them…"
Aarv never expected that someone was actually able to escape from the tall walls of Chittod.
"How is this possible…"
Badal Singh expected Aarv's reaction as he said, "He escaped fort yesterday morning. Some soldiers told me that after you entered the fort, he was seen escaping."
"Hmm… well It doesn't matter as long as he did not do anything inside the fort…"
Aarv knew that as long as the fort did not have any traitors inside, the fort was safe. He consoled Badal Singh, "You don't have to worry Badal Singh ji, as long as we keep the traitors away from the fort, we are safe inside."
---
On the other hand, Outside the fort of Chittod, A young man was running away from the fort of chittod.
'I would have never expected that Aarv would be able to get the king of Chittod back from Alauddin Khilji'
The young man thought as he ran. His name was Hafeez Khan and he was the only lord who was able to escape from the fort before the Rajput army could take over.
'I need to think of a way to enter the Khilji forces as soon as possible…'
Although he did not have much strength, he had a good mind. From the time of 8 months that he spent inside the fort he was able to make a detailed map of Chittod.
His only goal was to bring the map which included all the strengths and weaknesses of the fort of Chittod to Alauddin Khilji.
'Let's see how you would defend the fort after I have sent all his weaknesses to the Khilji camp.'
There was a maniacal rage inside his eyes as he kept running toward the incoming Khilji forces.
