Chapter 158 156. Array Of Slaughter
"Durvasa, we still can stop and end our conflict in a civil manner."
The voice of the Sukracharya reverberated in the royal garden making it feel like that voice was coming from the all direction making it impossible to guess the direction of the voice.
Sukracharya with one small hope that this can be still stopped as it was not developed till physical confirmation because he had not come out of his Maya to deal with Durvasa yet.
So he thinks there is still a tiny chance that they can end this fight and decide civilly who would be the Guru of Karna and of course he wants to deal with Narada as he is the one who makes the situation worse.
If not for Narada this fight would have never happened, They both right now would be chilling in the comfort of the Royal chamber talking, laughing, sharing the knowledge and insight but Narada ruined all.
He understand why Narada do so but that didn't mean Sukracharya was going to let this slide, No he already made a plans to deal with Narada after this, though he might not able to cause much damage but it will be enough to teach him the lesson of not to poke his nose in others matters.
"Huh?! You really want to talk about that right now? Are you sure about that? If so, do you expect me to ignore the Array of Slaughter you are making around me or do you expect I would have not noticed a thing?"
Durvasa just sneered at the words of Sukracharya, He is short tempered man but not dumb one or weak one either.
He clearly felt the manipulation of Sukracharya of surrounding force to create the Array used for slaughter purposes, Though he does not know the name of the array as this is not his forte but that didn't matter.
As all arrays follow the basic type, Like right now Dirvasa can sense the thick blood miasma in the air surrounding him, Which is the proof that Sukracharya was creating an array around him.
That is the only reason why Durvasa stopped his barrage of fist fury as he needs to find the centre of Array, Because that is the only place array is weakest and strongest.
He can break the array which was hastily made by Sukracharya with his raw physical strength but it will take a while. The time he didn't have as the more time given to Sukracharya the more polish and perfect he would make his plans.
That's the one thing Durvasa beware of Sukracharya, This man not only has the divine powers but also a very sharp and calculative mind. There are even rumours that if Asura had listened to his advice, They would have never lost like they did.
Durvasa was not willing to give someone like him the prep time at all, He spread his divine senses trying to look at the core of this array but because of the Maya all around him it was very difficult to sense where the actual eye of the array is.
"To be honest, I wanted you to believe you would not notice it but I hoped you would ignore it."
Voice of Sukracharya once again rang, It was neutral and once again not revealed the position of the voice.
Shukracharya didn't even try to hide his attempt as what he was doing is for his own safety, His strength lies in his Maya, Array and strategy, that doesn't mean he is weak in other things though.
If known and master of all other forms of weapons and skill the only reason he was not using them and only going by the things he is master in was that his opponent is Durvasa.
He can't beat Durvasa if he doesn't use the things he masters in, if he tries to use anything else he would be the one who will be defeated very terribly, The physical power of Durvasa is not a joke.
Actually the reason why Durvada uses his physical strength then others are for the same reason, He knows Sukracharya also knows the thing he knows off, There will be no way he will be able to compete with him in those fields.
So both were using the things they are best at, Even if because of these circumstances the fight was not looking that exciting but don't underestimate the fight as both of them like a mantis eating for the moment to strike.
"You are right, I might have ignored this weak Array before but forgive me Sukracharya. I can't this time, Stakes are too high, So would you be a good guy and tell me where the eye of array? I can't find it."
Durvasa just answered Sukracharya while still searching for the eye of an array but sadly he could not find it, Sukracharya is too good at making an array even if this is a rushed one he didn't not slake off on making array secure.
He even with his sharp senses could not differentiate between which eye is the real one and which one is the trap set by Sukracharya for him, So Durvasa had to ask Sukracharya to reveal the eye of Array.
No, He is not mad, He was genuinely asking Sukracharya to reveal the eye of Array, which he had to if he wanted to use this array against Durvasa because every time Array is used it for a fraction of second reveals the eye of it.
Normally it would be avoided making soldiers stand opposite and creating counter force which stops the unveiling of the eye but because there is no support of the soldiers, there is no protection against it.
Durvasa is not worried about the damage of the array as these arrays are made to use with soldiers in them, Soldiers are the main power source and the nodes of the array but here this is not the case.
Shukracharya created this array with help of his Maya to create this array making this array way way too weak to care about in the eyes of Durvasa, There is close to no damage will be done to him.
The only reason why Durvasa was beware of this array of it's potential to change its nature, As long as it stayed as a slaughter area there is nothing to fear but in the mid battle it changed into imprisonment one, that would be hard to deal with.
There are legendary arrays of imprisonment which can even bind the high heavens, to knowledge undoubtedly Sukracharya would know of, If Shukracharya used this array as base for those types of array he is done for.
Even if it would be a way weaker version of that array it would be enough to detain him, but there is a drawback to using those strong arrays, That is they need a lot of time to set up.
Unless there is another array present, In that case Array master can change the nature of array mid way using the old array as the base for new strong one which would only take 1/10 of the time it needed to create a new one.
So Durvasa needed to break this array. If not, it would definitely be detailed in the shackles of cosmic chains of those arrays.
"What a good request, but unfortunately you have to wait for Durvasa, It's not time for it."
Voice once again rang but this time it was not without direction. Rather it came directly from behind Durvasa, Not only that it was not that far away either, It felt like the words spoken directly into the ear making the position of speaker just right behind him.
*Swing*
Durvasa on instinct swung his fist behind him wanting to distance Sukracharya away from him, And jumped back but to his surprise there was no one standing behind him.
"Oh…no"
Seeing that he knows he has been fooled, Just that realisation kicks in, He flea the violent gust of air heading towards his face when he quickly turned to look back.
Sensing that, He did not have time to dodge and can only put up both of his hands to cover his face, taking a direct hit on his hands.
*Bang*
Durbasa felt like he was hit by a mountain. The pressure and power behind this bow was not low, The intention was also not casual, This was a serious bow intended to kill.
*Boom*
Durvasa took advantage of this and using the momentum threw himself back trying to make some distance between them but then as if Sukracharya already anticipated this move made 4 same moves in quick succession.
Durvasa isn't able to dodge them hand to hand to them head on, forcing him in the corner, While Sukracharya doesn't stop and continuously showered a new barrage of attacks.
For a while this battle became one sided, If Durvasa didn't do anything soon he would be the one who has to taste the defeat but he also has tricks in his sleeves he was ready to use.
A smirk appeared on his face when he saw the figure of Sukracharya amidst a barrage of attacks as he was looking for the gap to make his move.
