A Slave Who Became Emperor 27 Hell Breaks Loose

The guards surrounded Pinaka and his men, he had no way to escape.. there were almost twenty guards surrounding the four men. The guards were advancing towards them, Pinaka was having a sword in one hand, he pulled an axe from his clothing, and held it in his left hand.. he didn't wait for the guards to come at him.. he cried, 'death to traitors' and ran towards the guards.. the men too roared along with Pinaka and followed him.

Pinaka went and beheaded one guard with a sword, he turned around and struck another guard with his axe.. one guard tried to strike at Pinaka's neck, Pinaka bent down and pierced the guard in his stomach.. and twisted the sword inside the stomach making his blood gush out of his stomach..

s.h.i.+va was fighting two men simultaneously, Pinaka saw that a guard was trying to strike s.h.i.+va from the back, he threw his axe towards that guard, it landed in his chest making the guard fall.. three men were down.. s.h.i.+va Beheaded one man, he cut down the arm of another guard.. two other men of Pinaka's party killed a man each..

The guards became more cautious.. they tried to surround each man, s.h.i.+va extracted the axe from the dead man's chest and threw it towards Pinaka.. he caught it and struck one man's throat just like a piece of wood ..

Pinaka seemed to be everywhere, he killed two other men, all four of them (Pinaka and men) had superior combat skills, these ordinary guards were not a match to them.. suddenly Pinaka felt that there was someone behind him.. as he turned he saw the man who tried to strike him fall.. he had an arrow struck in his spine..

He looked towards the stairs, there was Samyukta with her bow and arrow, she was just in time, all the men behind Samyukta came forward and started slaughtering the guards.. soon the corridor was filled with corpses..

All h.e.l.l broke lose, each guard was killed on the spot.. then Pinaka headed towards the faint light at the end of the corridor, he was carrying a fire torch in his hand..

As he approached the light, he saw twenty more guards coming towards him, Samyukta started raining arrows, she made five men fall.. some of the men on Pinaka's side threw spears that pierced right through the hearts, more guards fell..

Pinaka was least bothered.. he looked like a G.o.d of death.. his eyes were blood shot.. he looked dangerous.. he kept moving forward.. with every step he took, he killed one guard.. Samyukta continued raining arrows at the guards, some guards were struck in the eye, making them blind..

Pinaka kept moving, his men joined him and started to strike the guards, they cleared a path for Pinaka.. he kept walking towards the light..

As soon as he neared the light, he realized that it was a small prison.. he went ahead and looked into the prison.. it was empty.. the empress was not there...

there was a dagger stuck into the wall.. in the faint candle light Pinaka saw that the dagger was holding a scroll which was fluttering in the wind...he fell on his knees and uttered an earth shattering roar...

Everyone froze in their tracks, few guards who were remaining fled.. Samyukta was the only one who dared to approach Pinaka.. she extended her arm and placed it on his shoulder.. he refused to look at her... she sat down on her knees, facing Pinaka, she extended her arms and cupped his face.. there was utter despair on his face.. his eyes looked defeated..

Samyukta helped him to raise.. she too looked at the scroll, they went into the prison and removed the dagger, Samyukta held the scroll and read it, she was completely shocked, she took a deep breath and read what was written,..

'I know that you will come for your mother, but I under estimated your speed, you could trace her so easily, I kept her here, but she has been taken back into the Royal Palace now. She is being held captive in the jail with all the common prisoners..she is being tortured now....if you want your mother to live, ask all your people to go out of the building...you have to come and fight me... come alone through the tunnel into the Royal Palace...that dog s.h.i.+va will show you the way..don't try to act smart and play with me, your mother's life is at stake... ' it was signed by Devadatta..
