Chapter 113 112. Terrified Kaliya
?
*Gulp*
Kaliya's throat became dry as he mechanically turned his head towards Karna, Who was as beautiful as he saw a moment ago but right now in that beauty, He can see the shadow of death.
He never thought that there would be a day when he was put in this condition by a mere child, But this is his reality now.
"Wh-What *Gulp* you want?"
It was becoming harder and harder for Kaliya to do even normal function, If not for him being a cold-blooded being, Who are used to lowering their blood supply but still they can't live much longer without any blood supply at all.
He even urged his demonic power in him to restart his blood supply but his blood was frozen, not willing to bulge at all.
This was enough to terrify him. He who used to have an arrogance about having various types of fatal poisons now was like a fish on the chopping board, At the mercy of the person with a knife.
What is even more shameful is that the person with a knife is just a child, He was lost because of one child.
"Nothing, Just the reason why you are here and name of the person who send you here, That's all."
Karna flicked his hand and restarted his blood supply once again to his vital organs but kept on manual, The moment Karna feel he was trying to do something, just stopped his brain.
After all, Karna is not a fool, He can feel danger emitting from this serpent. Though there was no ill intent towards him for now but Karna knows how deadly the person standing in front of him is.
The blood miasma around this guy shows it will not be less than 1000 people's life has taken. That is the lowest estimate Karna can think of.
So Karna didn't want to take chances as this type of person changes their mood on a whim. There is no telling what this person can do in the next moment.
But Karna was also curious. This guy doesn't look like a fool, So he definitely has an agenda for which he came here, Karna wanted to figure out which one is that.
The person he was looking for was definitely something special, Karna wanted to see if this person is a foe or friend. He had to do this as sadly he didn't have the luxury of being careless for things like this.
"Thank you for giving me a chance, The reason I came here to search for the divine child of princess Devaki. Who should be around 4 years old currently, As for who sent me? Forgive me I can't reveal that, You can kill if you want but I will not reveal the name of my lord."
Kaliya breathed a sigh of relief when his blood once again started flowing but he also can feel this blood being controlled, There is no need to guess who is behind it.
He on purpose did this to tell him he can end him any moment if he try to be smart, Kaliya didn't know why he felt proud of this child for knowing tricks like this even at this age.
Today is a very weird day.
"Ohh, No need, I know who your lord his, Okay, come in the noon and take me to Mathura, I want to have a talk with your king Kansa."
Karna couldn't figure out if this serpent is a fool or smart, He revealed he was looking for the son of Princess Devaki, Then refused to say the identity of his lord, As if this whole Aryavart didn't know the man who was after the son of Princess Devaki.
"Ho-How do you know?"
So okay, So this serpent is stupid because when Karna mentioned the name of Kansa, The colour of his face changed and he looked at Karna not understanding how could this child know about his lord.
"Wait!? You know who my lord is and yet you still want to meet him? Do you have a death wish?"
Kaliya just slightly recovered from the shock of Karna revealing the identity of his lord, he gets taken back by the decision of this child, Kansa is known as a tyrant.
He doesn't discriminate, Man, women, child everything is equal in his eyes as he didn't hesitate to put an end to their life. Though not without reason but that reason can be anything.
From serious crime like a rape and murder to putting the wrong foot entering in the hall, Reason can be anything, Hence why he get the title of Tyrant.
"Trust me, He will not going to have the guts to kill me, Just come here at little past noon in your serpent form, We will leave for Mathura to meet King Kansa."
Karna once finally allowed Kaliyas blood flow automatically because now he knows he is not a foe, Though not a friend either but a very useful pawn against the first blue guy, Krishna.
Well, Because in past life Karma gets most of his knowledge about Mahabharata from fanfics that too from incomplete fanfic novels, He never finds out that Krishna, like all the people in this time, have multiple names.
He only knows one thing, Few people related to one entity are after him and he has only two options, either avoid them or deal with them.
Karna prefers to avoid them but he knows it's impossible as they are going to come looking for him. So the best option will be the third one, Avoid them but have a contingency plan ready for them.
And this Kansa can be used for contingency. He though not learn much about his past life but here he found out that he is quite a strong king. Even a big kingdom like Hastinapur didn't want to have an unnecessary conflict with him.
That's the reason why Mahamahim Bhishma did not march to Mathura and punish Kansa for putting the brother of his Kulvadhu (Daughter-In-Law) Kunti into prison.
"........I will be here at noon waiting for your arrival Radheya (Son of Radha)."
Kaliya was super confused, He didn't understand from where did the child get this confidence but it says emotions are contagious, So Kaliya also has slight confidence in Kanra.
So he liked his tradition to call people by their mother-related names to show respect, So he did just that and vanished out of thin air because Karna also freed him from the bondage of water.
"Hmm, King Kansa, It will be interesting."
Karna didn't leave right away but scratched his chin. To be honest, Kansa is a very strong ally, especially considering he also has an army of Danvasa and Rakshas with him.
If somehow Karna figures out the ways to tame this tyrant, Not only he can be used against the blue guys but also it will be a powerful asset of his and help him get some powerful backup.
After all, If you yearn for peace you first need the power to maintain it. Without strong power, It will be a fool's dream to expect peace.
Karna knows this fact very well, This is a reason why he was trying to get strong even though he did not want to do anything with those blue guys. If he is strong maybe he can achieve that but if he is not, He definitely will be walked on by others.
'Now, I should go meet those four and then see the guest at home quickly, After Which I also have to go and get myself my bodyguard for this journey. It's going to be a long day.'
Karna after figuring pros and cons of dealing with Kansa thought of the more important matter, Those 4 monsters.
He hasn't seen any of them since the day before yesterday. It's quite strange they can do this. Normally they should be raiding his house for the answer about why he missed their scheduled meeting of theirs.
And there will also be a punishment to be given to him but nothing sorta happens which not only didn't call him down but made Karna even more afraid as he knows they all are up to no good.
So before they do anything he needs to stop them, As for bodyguards? He has one, The strongest one, The one who is the reason why Karna was so sure that King Kansa will not dare to do anything.
Last, but not least, He also has to meet the childhood friend of his father. Well, it was not that concerning as it happens on a regular basis, So Karna did not paying much attention to it.
But he should have been paying much more attention to it. The reason for it will be known to him soon.
"Let's go Little fox."
Karna didn't think much anymore. He picked up the white fox which had long since fallen asleep and was still wrapped in the towel. He was careful not to wake her up.
After holding her gently in his arms, He once again dived straight into the river current and swiftly made his way towards his home.
(A/N : Sorry for not updating for two days. My eldest uncle passed away Monday morning, I didn't get time to write this nor was I in that mental space.
