The Indra Style

Rudra stood fifteen metres away from Asthav, with his body fully covered in steam. Asthav felt as if the atmospheric pressure is crushing him down to the ground. He felt a slight sense of horror shadowed by his realisation of getting killed instantly.

He realised that it was no use fighting Rudra, so he gathered all of his strenght in his mouth and tried to convince Rudra to stop the fight.

"Why are you doing this?!? Do you really want me to die that badly!?! An Aarwan's job is to travel, fight the terrors and to explore the unknown, not to take someone's life for their own sake!!" Asthav said with all of his pride but, it was as if Rudra was swallowed by his anger and envy.

Rudra took a step forward and yelled "FULL SPIRIT RELEASE!!". He launched himself towards Asthav through the help of his gathered steam. He was moving at a high speed as if he just broke the sound barrier. "

"This is bad!! If I get hit by his steam then he will blow off one of my organs. Is there no way I can dodge his attack?!?" Asthav thought to himself. "

"Wait, there is!! I just need to remember my Indra Style martial arts training. If he has released all of his spirit energy at once then this could mean that he would only be able to land one hit, and if I neutralised this one then I could gain an advantage in this fight. This theory of mine may be wrong but, I have to go with this one for now. I have to trust myself". Rudra approached Asthav aggressively and tried to land a hit.

"Indra Style : Soul Rotation" Asthav said and rotated his arm and then dislocated his right limb with intensity. The fist of both of them collided with each other, producing a loud sound that could be heard within the temple. The sound was like if two metal bars were colliding with an extreme intensity, that they were melting each other apart. An immense shockwave of exploding steam passed through the field and faded away in the nature leaving behind a huge impact on the ground that could be seen very easily from the temple.

The whole field was covered in steam accompanied by a sizzling sound. Guru Ji (Master) of the temple came running in the field, worried and anxious. As the steam of the intense battle cleared, the identity of the standing figure revealed itself. It was Asthav with his right limb completely crushed and twisted, with an overwhelming amount of blood dripping from it. His limb was connected to his body only by a small remaining piece of his joint and looked like that it was about to fall at any moment. All of his fingers were mustered within his palm. The further clearence of the steam uncovered Rudra, lying on the ground. He was exhausted, and was huffing intensly with a little bit of injury.

All the students came to the field, accompanied by their Guru Ji and Pratham Guru. Everyone was shocked just by seeing the aftermath of an intense fought battle. Both of the Guru Ji were stunned as if they're seeing something like this for the first time in decades.

"Guru Ji, look!! There's Asthav!!" a student pointed his finger towards Asthav's position.

"Call the Aacharya Immediately!! Vaibhav, help me hold him!!" Pratham Guru Ji commanded.

Guru Ji nodded and held up Asthav that was unconscious at that moment. "They're complete monsters!! Releasing an attack that is so dangerous that even we think a million times before performing it!! who do they think they are!!?!" Guru Ji yelled furiously.

"I can't believe that Asthav survived Rudra's full spirit release. Even official Aarwans would struggle immensely to avoid or even absorb an impact that strong. The shockwaves must've travelled a few kilometers. Good thing that they're aren't many humans living around here. Indra Style is really impressive by the way. Vaibhav, You should keep an eye on your students, otherwise I will throw you out of the temple!!" Pratham Guru Ji yelled at him.

"Apologies!! Prathma Ji!! I promise that this type of scenario won't happen again!!" Guru Ji Vaibhav bowed down slightly, showing a sign of apology. Aacharya rushed towards them and took Asthav to the infirmary immediately. Rudra was taken into his room because his condition was not that serious as Asthav's.
