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.
