Chapter 2. Terror of Nihang Part#2

"What the hell are you doing Mehdi you b***** why am I the bait?" Sikandar said in anger while running away from the Nihang.

"Shut up and keep it on you I will kill it."Mehdi spoke being annoyed from Sikandar's blabbering.

About 40 minutes ago as soon as both of them got out of the ruined building they saw what not only shocked them but instilled fear in them.

"Mehdi as far as I remember we didn't stop on a hill and neither was there a lake Infront of us right?" Sikandar asked Mehdi surprised by the scene. There was a big lake Infront of them surrounded by greeny hills and a mountain to its north. The view of the scene was amazing and breathtaking but for these two it was something that could take their breath away.

"Look behind you if you are surprised by the scenery in the front." Mehdi said to Sikandar.

"What the? how the? where did the building go? Wasn't it here just now?" Sikandar poured questions on Mehdi. "Are you a kid? Can't you see we are trapped here by someone and that someone or something is in that lake." Mehdi told Sikandar feeling annoyed by him.

"Thank you for your advice Mehdi The Genius but I believe I might have got to know what that something in the lake is?" As soon as Sikandar said these words they felt as if the space between them and the lake decreased even though they did not move from their place.

"I don't think I need to hear it from you because I just saw what you were able to see from there." Mehdi said these words in fear. Both of them now were able to see the lake much clearly and so they were also able to see the thing which scared them. There was a big golden bowl floating in air at the centre of the lake.

Just as both of them were able to see it clearly they both spoke in a synchronized fearful voice "Shit It's a Nihang." Nihang is a lake or water creature also known as Pakistani Dragon. It's similar to an Eastern dragon having the serpent like body but with wings and a golden mane like the lion and also shares the similarity with western dragon due to its evil and terrorizing nature. It keeps a golden bowl floating in the air at the centre of the lake to keep the offerings that are offered by humans. These offerings can be humans or jewels.

"Isn't it an A grade Monster in the Monsters of world." Sikandar asked Mehdi in fear. "It is but how could an A grade creature appear here unnoticed and be shown as a C grade creature on the system." Mehdi answered Sikandar while still in his own confusion.

"Who cares about that? We both are C grade Ayyars how are we going to go against an A grade Monster let's get out of here." Sikandar advised Mehdi in a hurry.

"Let's try to kill it." As soon as Sikandar heard these words from Mehdi he just thought of one thing and that was to kill him but he controlled himself and said "Mehdi you b***** don't tell me you are having suicidal thoughts at this time. Don't worry we might no we can still get out of here if we try." Sikandar was in no way getting in a fight with that monster in the lake.

"You can go if you want to but I am staying and fighting with this thing here even if it means I die." Mehdi said calmly to Sikandar.

"Die you B***** you think I care if you die stop acting like a hero and let's get of here if I went back without my old man will kill me." Sikandar was in full anger while saying these words to him.

"You are dying anyways so isn't it better to go and fight this thing and if we defeat it we might be able to go back with honor." Mehdi told Sikandar to think about it.

"Honor my foot. Listen don't think I am fighting that thing for honor or you I am fighting it only for my life understood." After saying these words Sikandar closed his eyes and once he opened them their color changed to half golden and half blue. Just then he stretched his right hand out and a sword appeared in his hand the sword's handle was dark and even the whole sword was pitch dark like it was made of some dark material.

After Sikandar Mehdi closed his eyes and his eyes changed color to half white and half black. He stretched his hand and a golden bow appeared which he held while aiming at the golden bowl. Mehdi stretched the string of the bow and an arrow started to form taking energy from the surrounding and as he fired the arrow it sliced through the air and space before destroying the golden bowl.

Just as the golden bowl got destroyed the water in the lake started to behave abnormally and waves appeared."Here it comes." said Sikandar. "Both of us will charge towards it once it comes out of the lake." Both of them nodded their heads to signal to each other.

Just a moment later a big serpent with wings came flying straight out of the lake soaring towards the sky once out of the lake it turned it's face towards both of them. As soon as both of them looked into its eyes both of them got terrified but they could do nothing but control their fear.

As planned of the attack Sikandar soared forward towards the Nihang with a great boost going through air at a flying speed in no time he came close to the Nihang and swung his sword in full strength but Nihang with just a glare stopped his swing and he was propelled back quite some distance.

Mehdi asked if he was alright to which he replied "How could you ask me if I am alright when i got into this mess because of you." Just he finished speaking these the Nihang charged towards them with full force and Sikandar created a shield Infront using his sword but still got propelled backwards. As he stopped by thumping his sword in the ground while in motion he saved himself but coughed some blood but was alright.

As he recovered from the hit he saw that Mehdi was nowhere to be seen he thought that Mehdi before being called from Mehdi from behind. After seeing him did he learned that the Mehdi there was an illusion.

"So what do we do now?" Sikandar asked Mehdi. "Just be the bait." a reply which made Sikandar not only angry but laugh. Just as they were talking the Nihang marched towards Sikandar to attack again to protect himself Sikandar started to run from Nihang.
