As soon as Lily saw Snehwal awake, she said,
"Quick, we are not safe here."
Snehwal said,
"Hmm, I also feel the same. Seeing the old man's behavior, it feels like—something is wrong here."
Lily and Snehwal leave that house. Around them, there are about thirty to forty houses.
As soon as both of them crossed the village, two warrior fighters—Arjun and Lela—stood in front of them. These two ruled this area with their strength.
The sun was shining brightly overhead, and its golden rays made the mountain peaks sparkle. Snehwal and Lily were standing on the valley path, their steps slow and careful, but their eyes showed alertness clearly.
Looking at them, Lela held her bow in a ready position. Every muscle was tense, and her eyes showed a warning. The green armor on her shone in the sunlight, and her long golden hair was waving in the wind. The green cloth tied around her waist moved with every step, and her strong black shoes kept her steady on the rocks. The gold bracelets on her hands shone, and her bow and arrows showed she was ready for battle.
Arjun stood next to her. His body was dark bronze, strong with muscles, and every scar told a story of battles. The golden and silver harness on his shoulders shone, and the long red cloth added to his majesty. He held a sword in his hand, his black hair waving in the wind, and his brown eyes seemed to predict every danger.
The combination of Lela and Arjun—their posture, every move, and the way they held their weapons—made a strong impression on Snehwal and Lily. It was not only strength and skill; it was also a warning, a challenge.
Lela lifted the tip of her arrow upward. Her smile was light, but fearless. Her eyes were fixed on Snehal and Lily.
Lela said—"If you move forward, you will face all our power.
Even if you are a Yakshini and have endless power, this area belongs to us."
Arjun stood with his sword steady, his serious eyes watching everything. He felt a little disturbed looking at Lily's beauty. Maybe it was her charm.
Snehwal and Lily stood quietly for a few moments, watching everything. Then they thought, "These monks are not standing here just for show. They may be strong with weapons, but their cultivation is only at the fourth stage."
"Very weak."
Arjun showed strength, and Lela showed speed. Together, they showed their real power. Everyone could feel that standing against them would not be easy. Every move made the challenge even more clear.
Lily takes out her sword and says to Lela—
"Get out of my way, or you will not survive."
"You are very weak right now — fourth stage. I am not the same Lily who used to learn from a teacher and was weak. Now you are dull and weak compared to me."
Lela hears this and drops her arrow.
Lily cuts the arrow with her sword and angrily says—
"I will kill you, take this bow, and give it to my host."
Hearing this, Lela looks at Snehwal and says to Arjun—
"Go, catch this young man first."
Snehwal saw Arjun coming close and said to Lily—
"I will handle him."
Lily replied—
"This is a fourth-level monk (seeker). You will not be able to hit him even once. Arjun is not a weak monk; he is unbeatable in his level."
"It is impossible to defeat him. I am in the sixth level, but he does not know this."
"As soon as he sees me, he will run away."
Then Lily jumped five to seven feet high from the ground and threw a ball of energy at Arjun with her hand. Arjun was stunned.
Seeing this, Lela got scared and shot an arrow, saying—
"Sixth level? How is this possible?"
Lily said—
"I am not like you, who depends on others."
"I have reached here by facing many difficulties."
Seeing this, Snehwal quietly looked at Arjun's sword, as if he liked it.
Then Lily hit Lela with a white ball of energy. As soon as the ball hit, she went fifty feet away and fell upside down. Her bow fell on the ground, and she herself was very far from it.
Lily took the bow into her hands with a gesture. The bow stretched and came straight into Lily's hands. Then she also took Arjun's sword and moved forward, saying—
"Be careful from now on, know who I am and how powerful I am. Come in front of me carefully."
Hearing this, Lela put her face on the ground, as if she was shy. Arjun was knocked out with just one hit. Lela felt a small shock.
Now Lily moves forward and gives the bow and sword to Snehal, saying—
"With these together, I will make a strong weapon for you."
Both walk on the path.
Seeing them go, Lela says—"I will not let you go," and even with a little pain, she smiles.
