14 The Planet Where Talent Comes To Die (1/2)

As soon as that loud sound echoed throughout the s.p.a.ce, it caused a sense of shock to appear onto everyone's visage.

That other guard, which was slapped on the left side of his face, sent flying towards the man on the horse. He fell on to the ground with his all four limbs pointing towards four different directions. He appeared to have lost his consciousness by then.

After processing the result of his action, the guard with the husky body looked to be lost without words. He never even thought in his wildest dreams that the seemingly innocent and sweet girl, who had a kind of adorability on her face even when she got angry, could be this deadly if provoked.

He sensed a deadly aura emanating from that innocent girl, so he retreated a few steps back in a hurry.

After being intimidated by the display of that mysterious fighting prowess of the girl, his mind was left bamboozled. He was so lost in his thoughts that he couldn't realize that his right arm had already been dislodged from its socket and was hanging from his shoulder like a stringed ball. The guard started to panic.

It was supposed to be the easiest task ever, to grab a teenaged girl and make her kneel in front of the leader, but how was he supposed to know that the one he thought to be an adorable little cat, was a fierce tigress wearing cat's skin?

He looked towards the leader with his helpless eyes, hoping that he will understand the peculiarity of this job, but he only found disappointment and anger in those cold eyes which were making him feel embarra.s.sed to even look at them.

The guard made up his mind. He decided that he will fight her this time if he had to, but he will not underestimate her anymore. Now he was starting to regard her as his enemy. He drew a heavy breath and slowly started walking up to her. He decided to go all out against her.

Everyone was standing there in awe after watching that guard flying in the air. They couldn't understand what had happened. The other guard was trying to grab that girl by her shoulder, but why did he change his mind and attacked his companion? They looked bewildered.

Myriad of thoughts were still crowding his mind as the husky guard was slowly walking up to her. He was trying to make sense of how a girl, who most probably hadn't completed her coming of age ceremony yet, could strike fear in his heart.

The Bhageerathi galaxy had five major planets which were Chetas, Tejas, Ojus, Dharitri, and Dhruwa. They all had a fair amount of people living on them, and the people from each planet had their special traits which varied them from each other conclusively.

The people who lived on planet Chetas were known to be quite prodigious. It was rumored that every formula for medicinal pills and alchemy known to humankind originated from there. Even those immortal beings respected them and regarded them as true geniuses.

Not as quite prodigious as the people from Chetas, the people from Tejas and Ojus were gifted with extraordinary strength instead. They had physical strength which compared evenly to those demons from the previous era. To say the least, they were the strongest the humankind could hope to offer.

Dhruwa was the planet on which the very first emperor of this galaxy created his mansion. It was a small planet, and the population was even lesser than the people residing in a region of other planets, but the ones who lived here were the ones who could decide the fate of the galaxy.

On this pattern of having a special trait, Dharitri was the only exception in the whole Bhageerathi galaxy. Everyone who lived here never had any kind of special, noticeable trait. This planet was known as the slum of this galaxy as not even a single capable person came out from this planet. This planet was heavily regarded as 'The Planet where Talent comes to Die.'.

This was Dharitri and yet someone from here was able to strike fear into the heart of a person from Tejas.

'How could she try to intimidate me? Me, who is from the great Vali clan, is being intimidated by a little girl. What a joke.' The guard thought.

He was from a clan that had produced many great warriors of this galaxy throughout every generation. How could a little n.o.body like her make him afraid? It wasn't possible.

”It only happened because I was careless. If I would've been focused from the get-go, this embarra.s.sing event wouldn't have happened.” He was trying to come up with some kind of explanation for this blunder which not only brought him shame but even made him lose face in front of the leader.

”She must've caught me off guard. Yeah, yeah…this is the only explanation which befits the situation. She is not that intimidating.” A sense of relief spread through his whole body as he increased his speed.

Aaaaa...

A loud war-cry emerged as he came close to her. Thanks to that roar, it appeared as if his lost confidence returned to him. He clutched his left palm tightly and turned it into a fist as he put out a punch towards her heart.

The girl expected no less from an elite guard. If it would've been anyone else, they would've run away by now, but he was one of the infamous elite guards which served as a weapon of destruction for Region Head. She knew that he will counter-attack soon enough and there he was.

She watched that incoming punch to the last possible second and finally decided to block it with her left hand, but before her hand could even touch that punch, the guard retracted it from her heart and aimed it again towards her nape, in an instant. It all happened in a tiny fraction of a moment.

The girl was taken aback by this display of incredible speed from that guard.

'The elite guards of Region Head should not be underestimated. You should always avoid the matters which involve them. Sandhya, you should never get into a confrontation with them.' The warning which her grandfather always made her listen, came rus.h.i.+ng into her mind all of a sudden as she tried to block his hand again from reaching her nape.

That guard seemed to be aiming his punch to the places which could turn her unconscious. She thought she must not let him strike towards those points. She put all that she learned from her grandfather into that defense and tried to match his incredible speed.

The guard only had his one arm working right now. His right arm was broken by that girl's strange whip-like technique. That's why he must not let her use that against him again.

After seeing her react almost at the same moment as he tried to go for her nape, he was left astounded. So, she wasn't just a pretty flower lying in a vase.

As soon as he saw her hand reaching towards his wrist with more speed than before, he panicked. He was afraid that he would end up losing his left hand too. A sense of uneasiness started spreading all over his face.

The girl noticed it as she tried to use that technique against his hand again. Her whole focus was concentrating on her right hand as she transformed it into a wobbly whip. All that's left was just to hit his wrist, and she could break his other arm.

She thought she would teach him a lesson by breaking his left hand too, but she made a huge mistake without even realizing during that face-off, and the next moment, a booming kick flew towards her body and collided with her stomach.
