The Protector

Chapter 1: The Demon Killer Sword

Rishi was an average-looking boy who was around 16 years old. He lived with his mother in Delhi. Rishi studied in Class 10 and did well in Mathematics and Science. He was brave, but there was one problem in his life—a group of boys bullied him at school.

The leader of the group was a Class 12 student named Krishna. Every day, Krishna and his friends bullied Rishi. Rishi never fought back because he knew his mother worked very hard for his studies.

One day, Krishna's group crossed all limits.

Krishna: "Rishi, come here."

Rishi: "Yes, what happened?"

Krishna: "Who's your father, and where does he live?"

Krishna's Friend: "Krishna Bhai, his father probably knows his son is useless, so he left him and his mother."

Rishi: "Enough! I'll show you how strong I am!"

Rishi punched Krishna in the face.

Krishna: "What are you doing?"

Krishna's Friend: "What should we do?"

Krishna: "That's why I say you're all fools. Beat him!"

Krishna's friends grabbed Rishi's hands, and Krishna started punching him in the face.

At that moment, Rishi's best friend, Keshav, arrived with the principal. The principal immediately punished Krishna and his group.

Rishi: "How did you know Krishna's group was beating me?"

Keshav: "I saw them beating you. If I came alone, they would have beaten me too. So I went to the principal's office and told him everything."

Rishi: "Okay, thanks. Let's go to the classroom."

Keshav: "Are you crazy? You're injured and bleeding from your cuts, and you're talking about attending class? First, we're going to the medical room. Then we'll take a half-day leave."

Rishi: "Okay, bro."

They entered the medical room.

Nurse: "What happened, child?"

Keshav: "Nurse, Rishi was beaten by Krishna's group."

Nurse: "Oh! Rishi, sit here."

Rishi sat down. The nurse cleaned the blood from his face, applied medicine to the cuts, and put bandages on them.

Nurse: "Rishi, remove the bandages after one or two days."

Rishi: "Yes, Nurse."

Rishi and Keshav wrote a half-day leave application and gave it to their teacher.

Teacher: "Keshav, why do you want leave?"

Keshav: "Teacher, what if Rishi becomes unconscious on the way home?"

Teacher: "Okay. You may leave after lunch break."

After lunch, Keshav dropped Rishi at home.

As soon as Rishi entered the house, his mother noticed his injuries.

Rishi's Mom: "What happened to you? Why are you injured?"

Rishi: "I fell on the ground, Mom. I want to ask you something."

Rishi's Mom: "Why not? Ask."

Rishi: "Who is my father, and where is he?"

Rishi's Mom: "Rishi, I've told you many times. After you turn 18, I'll tell you everything about your father."

Rishi: "But Mom—"

Rishi's Mom: "Enough. Go to your room and sleep."

The next day, Rishi went to school and met Keshav.

Rishi: "Hey, Keshav."

Keshav: "Hello."

Rishi: "Tomorrow our holidays start. What are you going to do?"

Keshav: "I'll play GTA 5. My parents bought me a PS5. What about you?"

Rishi: "Hmm, I don't know. I think I'll visit my mother's village."

The principal arrived and made an announcement.

Principal: "Your holidays will start tomorrow."

The students cheered loudly.

After school, Rishi ran home. Ten minutes later, he reached his house.

Rishi's Mom: "Rishi, welcome home. How was your day?"

Rishi: "Mom, my holidays start tomorrow."

Rishi's Mom: "Nice. What have you decided to do?"

Rishi: "I've decided to go to Nana's village."

Rishi's Mom: "No, you can't go there."

Rishi: "No, Mom. I want to go."

Rishi started crying because he wanted to visit his grandfather's village.

Rishi's Mom: "Okay, you can go."

Rishi: "Yes!"

Rishi's mother called her brother.

Rishi's Mom: "Bhaiya, Rishi wants to come to the village."

Rishi's Mama: "Okay, Sister. I'll take care of him."

The next day, Rishi left for his grandfather's village in Fatehpur, Unnao.

After a day's journey, he arrived at the station, where his uncle came to pick him up.

Rishi's Mama: "Rishi, how are you?"

Rishi: "I'm fine. And you?"

Rishi's Mama: "I'm fine too. Which class are you in now?"

Rishi: "Class 10."

Soon they reached home.

Rishi: "Mama, this house is huge!"

Rishi's Mama: "Rishi, you must not enter your grandfather's room."

That warning made Rishi even more curious about the room.

In the middle of the night, Rishi checked that everyone was asleep. After making sure nobody was awake, he quietly entered his grandfather's room.

Inside, he found a sword, a book, some maps, and a wedding photograph of his mother. He took pictures of everything with his phone.

For the first time in his life, he saw a picture of his father. He felt very happy.

Then he picked up the book and opened the first page.

It read:

"I am Raghunath. My wife and I were unable to have children. Since I knew Tantrik Vidya, I told my friends about summoning the Demon King to help us have a child.

My friends agreed, and we performed the ritual.

The sky turned black with clouds. Lightning struck the havan kund, and powerful winds blew around us. Then we saw a burning demon nearly 300 meters tall.

The Demon King spoke in a heavy voice: 'Why have you summoned me?'

I replied, 'I want a child.'

The Demon King answered, 'Very well, but I want your soul in return.'

I agreed.

After nine months, I was blessed with two children. One was a daughter named Nandini, and the other was a son named Kartik.

Together with my friends and children, I created powerful weapons: the Demon Killer Sword, the Demon Killer Dagger, the Healing Cloth, and two more weapons.

Although we could not kill the Demon King, we successfully trapped him in another space. I gave the weapons to my friends so they could protect the world from evil spirits.

However, if I die, the prison containing the Demon King will become weaker."

Rishi was shocked. According to the diary, his mother and uncle were children of the Demon King.

Curious, he touched the Demon Killer Sword.

Suddenly, the blade cut his hand, and a drop of blood fell onto the sword.

The sword immediately entered Rishi's body.

Rishi became nervous and shouted.

At that moment, his uncle rushed into the room.

Rishi's Mama (angrily): "Why did you come here?"

Rishi: "Mama, I became interested in the room."

His uncle looked around.

The sword was gone.

Rishi's Mama: "Where is the sword?"

Rishi: "It entered my body."

Rishi's Mama: "No... this is bad."

Rishi: "What do you mean?"

At that moment, dark clouds covered the sky.

Both of them looked outside and saw a ghost coming toward the house.

Chapter 2: Control the Demon Killer Sword

Kartik shouted, "Everyone, go inside the house!"

He stepped outside and closed the door behind him. Then he used his Tantrik Vidya and summoned Rakta Pisachini.

Kartik: "Rakta Pisachini, kill that ghost."

Rakta Pisachini attacked the ghost, absorbed it, and became even stronger.

Meanwhile, Rishi fell asleep and had a strange dream.

In the dream, he met a man.

Man: "I am Raghunath. You must protect your father from the Demon King's soldiers."

The next morning, Rishi told Kartik about the dream.

Rishi: "Mama, I saw a dream. Nana told me that I must protect my father from the Demon King's soldiers."

Kartik: "Rishi, it is time I told you about your father. When you were one year old, many Rakshasas attacked us. I fought against them, but two of them—a Brahmarakshasa and a Jin—were extremely powerful. Your mother and I couldn't save your father. They captured him."

Rishi: "Mama, where is my father now?"

Kartik: "I don't know where he is."

Rishi: "I will save my father. What should I do?"

Kartik: "I will train you to control the Demon Killer Sword."

Rishi: "How can I control it?"

Kartik: "We must perform a havan for Indra Dev, and you must sacrifice your favorite possession."

Rishi: "I'm ready."

Kartik: "First, tell me. What is your favorite thing?"

Rishi showed him his watch.

Rishi: "This watch."

Kartik: "Come with me."

They entered Raghunath's room and prepared a havan kund.

Kartik: "Listen carefully. Do not move outside the circle."

Rishi became nervous when he saw that the circle had been drawn with blood.

Rishi: "I understand, Mama."

Kartik began the havan.

After several minutes, strong winds started blowing. Objects inside the room began floating. A terrible smell filled the air.

Kartik: "Rishi, throw your watch into the havan kund."

Rishi: "Okay."

Rishi threw his watch into the fire.

The next moment, Kartik cut Rishi's finger and let a few drops of blood fall into the havan kund.

Soon afterward, Rishi lost consciousness and collapsed onto the ground.

A day later, Rishi opened his eyes and found himself lying on a bed.

Kartik: "Are you okay now?"

Rishi: "Yes, but my body feels heavy."

Kartik: "Good. Now your training to control the sword will begin."

Rishi: "Really? Yes!"

The next day, Kartik took Rishi into a forest.

Kartik: "Rishi, speak the word 'Udaya.'"

Rishi: "Udaya!"

Immediately, the Demon Killer Sword emerged from Rishi's body.

Kartik then summoned several ghosts and spirits. The atmosphere became dark and frightening.

Kartik: "Try to kill them with the sword."

Rishi: "How can I kill them? They're already dead."

Kartik: "The sword can destroy ghosts, spirits, and demons. However, if they are stronger than the sword's user, it cannot defeat them. This rule applies to all the weapons except the Healing Cloth."

Rishi: "I understand."

Rishi charged forward and attacked.

He managed to destroy several spirits. Day after day, he trained hard to become stronger.

After fifteen days of training, he could easily defeat low-level ghosts and spirits.

Kartik: "Rishi, you can now defeat even my top ten lower-ranked spirits. Are you ready for something stronger?"

Rishi: "Yes."

That night, Rishi went outside to use the washroom.

Suddenly, he saw many ghosts and spirits approaching him.

Fear filled his heart, but he remembered his training.

Rishi: "This is the perfect time to test myself. Udaya!"

The Demon Killer Sword appeared in his hand.

Rishi fought bravely. He easily defeated several low-level ghosts.

However, a Chalava Ghost trapped him inside an illusion.

Rishi became terrified and confused.

Remembering Kartik's lessons, he injured himself to break the illusion and shouted for help.

Hearing the shout, Kartik rushed outside.

He immediately understood the situation.

Kartik: "Rakta Pisachini, absorb every ghost and spirit here!"

Rakta Pisachini obeyed and absorbed all the remaining spirits.

Kartik hurried toward Rishi.

Kartik: "Rishi, are you okay?"

Rishi: "Yes... I just want to go home."

Kartik: "Good. There's something important I need to tell you."

Kartik entered Raghunath's room and returned with four maps.

He handed them to Rishi.

Kartik: "Rishi, you must find the users of the four legendary weapons."

Rishi: "Yes, Mama. I'll do it."

Kartik: "That's my boy."

The next morning, Rishi prepared to return to Delhi.

He went to the bus stand and boarded a bus.

While traveling on the highway, the bus suddenly stopped.

Rishi looked outside through the window.

Something unexpected had happened...

The Protector

Chapter 3: The Demon Killer Dagger

Rishi looked outside the bus and saw many spirits and ghosts surrounding the highway.

The passengers inside the bus were terrified. People were shouting, children were crying, and many women were frightened.

Rishi stood up.

Rishi: "I will protect you all."

Old Man: "Child, come back inside the bus!"

Rishi: "Don't worry. Udaya!"

The Demon Killer Sword appeared in his hand.

Rishi jumped out of the bus and charged toward the spirits.

As he fought, he noticed a familiar figure battling the ghosts.

It was Rakta Pisachini.

Rishi immediately remembered her because Kartik had summoned her in front of him.

Rishi: "Rakta Pisachini! How are you here?"

Rakta Pisachini: "I am here because my master ordered me to protect you."

Rishi smiled.

Rishi (thinking): "Mama, you're the best."

Together, Rishi and Rakta Pisachini defeated the remaining ghosts and spirits.

Soon, all the spirits disappeared.

Rakta Pisachini then returned to Rishi's shadow.

The passengers watched in shock as the spirit entered Rishi's shadow and the sword disappeared back into his body.

Everyone became afraid of him.

Several hours later, the bus finally reached Delhi.

Keshav was waiting at the bus stand.

Rishi: "Bro, I have so many things to tell you. I'll even show you a magical weapon."

Keshav: "First tell me one thing. Did you even ask how I am?"

Rishi: "Sorry. How are you, bro?"

Keshav: "I'm fine. And you?"

Rishi: "I'm fine too."

Keshav: "Now tell me about this weapon."

Rishi: "I'll explain everything during our night walk."

The two friends headed home.

When Rishi entered his house, his mother greeted him.

Rishi: "Mom, Mama told me about my father."

Rishi's Mom: "What exactly did he tell you?"

Rishi: "He said my father was captured by the Demon King's soldiers."

His mother became silent for a moment.

Rishi's Mom: "I wanted to tell you everything after your eighteenth birthday. But now I think you deserve to know the truth."

Rishi: "Tell me everything—from the day you met him until the day he was captured."

Rishi's Mom: "All right."

She sat down and began her story.

Rishi's Mom: "Your father's name is Reshav.

When I was nineteen years old, I came to Delhi for my studies. That's where I met your father in college.

Many students used to make fun of me, but Reshav always defended me.

He was very good at his studies, while I struggled.

We became friends, and he often helped me with my studies.

Over time, I fell in love with him.

On the last day of college, I planned to propose to him.

But before I could, Reshav proposed marriage to me.

I was very happy and accepted immediately."

Rishi listened carefully.

Rishi's Mom: "During our wedding, many demons attacked us.

I used my demonic powers to fight them.

When people saw my powers, they called me a witch and threw shoes and slippers at me.

But Reshav stood in front of me and protected me.

He told everyone, 'I don't care who she is. I love her.'

Then he married me despite everything."

Rishi smiled.

Rishi's Mom: "When you celebrated your first birthday, demons attacked again while I was sleeping.

They captured Reshav and took him away.

I immediately went to my father's house and told him everything.

My father and his friends created powerful weapons using my demonic powers and your uncle's powers.

Although they couldn't kill the Demon King, they successfully trapped him inside a separate space dimension."

Rishi: "Mom, I already have one of those weapons."

Rishi's Mom: "Which one? The Demon Killer Sword, the Demon Killer Dagger, the Healing Cloth, the Ring of Spirits, or the Pen of Curse?

Every weapon has disadvantages except the Healing Cloth."

Rishi: "What kind of disadvantages?"

Rishi's Mom: "The Demon Killer Sword and Demon Killer Dagger can slowly corrupt their users and turn them evil.

The Pen of Curse and Ring of Spirits absorb the user's life force. The Pen of Curse absorbs even more life force than the ring.

Another weakness is that if the user is weaker than their enemy, the weapon can be taken or controlled by a stronger opponent."

Rishi: "I understand."

Rishi's Mom: "Show me your weapon."

Rishi: "Udaya!"

The Demon Killer Sword appeared.

His mother looked at it carefully.

Rishi: "Mama also gave me maps to find the other weapons."

Rishi's Mom: "No. You shouldn't search for them."

Rishi: "Mom, I saw Nana in my dream. He told me to protect my father. I have to do this."

His mother looked at him for several moments.

Finally, she nodded.

Rishi's Mom: "Okay."

That night, Rishi met Keshav during their usual walk.

Keshav: "Hello."

Rishi: "Hey. I have a magical weapon. It can kill demons, spirits, and ghosts."

Keshav: "Where is this weapon?"

Rishi: "Inside my body."

Keshav: "Come on, bro. Do you really expect me to believe that?"

Rishi: "I'm serious. Watch this. Udaya!"

The Demon Killer Sword emerged from his body.

Keshav's eyes widened.

Keshav: "That's awesome! It's like Venom!"

Rishi laughed.

Rishi: "There's one more thing. I'm going on a journey to find the other weapons."

Keshav: "Which weapon are you looking for first?"

Rishi: "The Demon Killer Dagger."

Keshav: "Then I'm coming with you."

Rishi: "Really?"

Keshav: "Of course. You're my best friend."

The two friends smiled.

Their adventure to find the Demon Killer Dagger was about to begin.
