Chapter 1003 Unidentified Opponent
( Drax's POV )
Drax quite enjoyed having a body of his own and exploring all the mage arts that he could not explore as an A.I.
Blessed with the body of the OG primordial vampire, Dracula, the son of the celestial god of war Junfred, Drax had a body that was naturally blessed and attuned to mana as he had an unusually large reserve of mana to work with to fuel his spells.
If the queen and Max were not taken into the equation, Drax was confident that against any other being in the universe, Odin included, he could easily hold his own, which was why he felt that it was a little bit of a shame that he was restricted to the Rajput Capital as it's protector.
He dreamt about the day when someone strong and impudent tried to lay a siege on the Rajput Capital, an incident where Drax could finally show what he was capable of and prove his worth, however, he also knew that something like this was highly unlikely to happen in real life.
Everyone and their mothers knew that the universal queen was protecting the Rajput Capital and that it was the home of the Supreme Lord Max Rajput.
Nobody was daring enough to even spy on the Rajput Capital let alone attack it.
Hence, when an unknown individual dangerously sped towards the Rajput capital, breaking past the first defensive barrier that Drax had set up, the old A.I. felt like his dreams had just came true as he teleported himself outside the Rajput Capital's space and waited for the opponent to present himself.
" STOP! Turn now before I incinerate you.
You have entered the sovereign territory of the Supreme Lord of the universe.
This isn't a land where you can trespass without consequences.
If you don't stop this instant, I will have no other option but to obliterate you-" Drax said as he had goosebumps all over his skin when he did.
This was a dream come true for him, as be finally got to act all cool and confront and intruder!
While he warned the intruder to turn back and leave, secretly he wanted the intruder to not turn back at all and instead pick a fight with him, which is exactly what the intruder did.
He kept charging towards Drax without showing any signs of slowing down as Drax took this as an open sign of hostility.
" Well, don't complain later that you were not warned" Drax said with a satisfied smile on his face as he compressed his hands into a ball shape and pressed down on it as a golden ball of light suddenly appeared between his palms.
[ Divine Move : Light Spear Barrage ]
From the compressed golden ball, a countless barrage of light spears shot out like a machine gun as regardless of how the charging intruder moved, the barrage of spears moved with him, giving him no chance to dodge the attacks.
*Boom*
*Boom*
*Boom*
*Boom*

*Boom*
Countless explosions lit up the sky outside the Rajput capital as Drax felt like he had overkilled his opponent.
The spears moved at the speed of light and each had the penetrative power to destroy a tier8 armour with ease.
Even monarchs would be critically wounded by this barrage, whereas tier7 or lower warriors would outright die after taking two shots.
Drax was convinced that once the dust would settle, his opponent would either be a dissheveled corpse or tethering on the edge of life or death, however, never did he expect his opponent to come out of the barrage unharmed as within a second, he was upon Drax with his sword ready to take Drax's head clean off.
" How?"
Drax wondered, as his pupils constricted in shock and he was forced to use [ Instant Teleport ] to save his life.
*SWOOSH*
The sword strike that did not hit his head projected itself as a massive sword cut that went straight towards the Rajput Capital bypassing Drax's safety net.

( Kartikeya's POV )
Kartikeya was training peacefully on the Rajput capital, trying to improve his swordsmanship when suddenly he heard explosions in the sky outside his planet.
A quick glance towards the sky showed him a figure of Drax floating in the sky fighting some unknown opponent as Kartikeya felt nothing much of it yet.
Dripping in sweat and tired from training, he decided to take a break and observe the battle as he wondered what sort of a fool attacked the Rajput capital today trying to be decimated.
However, his heart nearly jumped out of his chest when he saw ' THAT' face emerge from the explosions unharmed.
It was the face of the opponent that Kartikeya had fought at the tri-state tournament finals.
The face of the opponent that nearly caused him to die and was indirectly responsible for all the misery that his brother Kremeth had to face.
It was the face of the man that was responsible behind causing a rift between his uncle and his father and the face of the opponent that Kartikeya was desperately waiting to crush someday.
It was the perfect warrior's projection...
" Watch out!" Kartikeya screamed, however, it was too late!
The opponent had closed in on Drax and seemed poised to take his head clean off when Drax thankfully teleported away, saving his own life.
*SHUA*
A massive sword slice that was intended for Drax's head, now descended upon the Rajput Capital as Kartikeya who watched it descend began gathering his energy to retaliate.
" LIKE HELL I'D LET YOU HURT MY FAMILY AGAIN" He shouted in anger as he mustered the strength to push-back, however, before he did the attack was neutralised by the queen whose projection flew into space faster than what Kartikeya's eyes could follow.
*KABOOM*
The neutralised sword slash blasted in the space above the Rajput Capital with a bang as the shock waves caused the entire planet to reverberate alarming everyone.
