Chapter 9 - Chapter 9: Still No Worth

🕯 Scene: Underground Chamber – Just After the Kill

​The air is thick with dust...

Adheera stands there, perfectly calm.

He holds Rivan's severed head in his hand—

Blood is still dripping...

But Adheera's eyes are dead calm.

​Adheera (In a slow tone):

​"This is the first fight after 5000 years...

But you?

You were too weak..."

​Adheera tosses Rivan's head away...

The head rolls across the floor and comes to a stop in a dark corner...

​🌫 Scene Shift: Temple Ground – Main Hall

​Rivan's gang is waiting outside—

A total of 4 members plus the Gang Leader.

The silence is broken...

​Gang Leader (Angry):

​"Hey Rivan! You're wasting time!

Tell us if you found the treasure or not!"

​Suddenly... the underground stone door grinds open...

Adheera walks out—calm, deadly, and drenched in blood.

​Gang Leader (Confused):

​"Hey! Who the hell are you?! Where is Rivan?!"

​Adheera (Voice echoing like a hollow spirit):

​"Rivan?

He released me...

But he is already dead.

His head is still down there in the dark...

He was weak."

​Gang Leader (Furious):

​"Bastard! Finish him!!"

​🩸 3 Gang Members Step Forward

​🔥 Member 1—Lunges forward and grabs Adheera by the neck, trying to push him back.

​Adheera (A small, chilling smile):

​"Is this all the strength you have?

Such a weak grip...

I'll show you what real strength means."

​Adheera grips the man's neck and slowly begins to press...

CRRRAAACKK!

The man gasps for air and falls dead instantly.

​🔫 Member 2—Pulls out a gun and fires!

The bullet hits Adheera... but there is no effect.

​Adheera (Turning slowly):

​"Is this a weapon?

These things don't even cause me pain...

These toys are meant for weak people like you."

​Adheera walks right up to him,

Grips the man's head with full force—

"CRRRUSHHH!!"

The head explodes. Blood splashes everywhere.

​😨 Member 3—A girl. She is trembling in pure terror...

​Girl (Crying):

​"Please... please don't do anything to me...

I won't make any more mistakes..."

​Adheera (In a soft, deadly tone):

​"I am not a good man.

What you did or didn't do doesn't matter to me.

But you are a woman...

I do not strike women.

However... that fear in your eyes...

That is what I like."

​Adheera uses his hand to deliver a single, precise punch to her chest, tearing the heart right out of her body.

No prolonged pain—a quick, clean death.

​🔥 The Gang Leader freezes—

Shock, fear, and a deafening silence...

​Adheera (Walking closer):

​"You are the last one..."

​The Gang Leader turns and runs!

He sprints toward the temple exit... but suddenly, Adheera appears right behind him—

NECK HOLD!

​Adheera (Smiling darkly):

​"Hey... where are you going?"

​Using only his physical strength, Adheera grabs the leader's arms and twists them until they are completely SEVERED!

Screams echo through the ancient halls...

​Gang Leader (Crying in agony):

​"Aahhh!! Please... please...!"

​Adheera (Calmly):

​"I like your eyes.

There is fear in them...

But you are so weak...

This is boring. There is no fun in this."

​Adheera gouges out the leader's eyes and throws them on the ground, crushing them under his boot.

​"Now you cannot run.

Now you cannot fight.

So... die a slow death."

​🌫 Final Shot: Silence in the Temple

​Blood is everywhere...

The only sounds are the whistling wind and Adheera's steady footsteps...

​Adheera walks out of the ancient temple,

Disappearing into the mist...

​Adheera (Deep, haunting voice):

​"Still no worth..."

​Scene fades. 🌑
