Karna asked Hidimbi about her other abilities that she hadn’t shown him yet.
"Oh!" Hidimbi nodded and was about to show him, but Karna stopped her and told her to just explain to him what more she could do.
When Hidimbi told him. Karna tried to use some of her abilities.
He created hundreds of colorful butterflies flying all around them.
"Wow!" Priti raised her hand as some butterflies flew toward her and almost sat on her hand— but as she made contact with them, the butterflies disappeared into the air.
The same thing happened with butterflies that Lysa and Mina touched.
"It was just an illusion. You can’t touch them", Karna said.
Karna tried another ability. He made ten clones of himself, and this time it wasn’t merely an illusion; instead, they were solid and could touch things, though they didn’t have any will of their own.
According to Hidimbi, he had to give orders, and after completing the task, they would disappear, or he had to control them with his mind.
Which wasn’t hard at all; he could control them with his thoughts. He made clones fight with each other before making them disappear.
Clones didn’t have divine armor and earrings, though he could create them— but they would be just for show without their powers.
Now Karna had a clearer idea of his divine blessing.
He just had to clearly believe that he had a specific kind of ability; then he would be able to use it— well, it applied only if he had already copied that power.
Maybe that’s why his strength didn’t increase immediately in the forest: because he didn’t believe he had strength; at that time he genuinely thought his divine blessing couldn’t copy physical strength.
He thought this limitation might have come from the ’perfect’ word in the blessing, because if he had suddenly gained massive strength and so many powers without any knowledge, he would have caused chaos or accidentally harmed friends and foes alike.
However, he also doubts he had one more restriction.
For example, when the target he had copied his powers from died, he would lose those powers.
That’s why he didn’t have a Hidim strength. So that means if Arjuna was dead, then he would lose all the arrows he had copied from him in the Rangbhoomi— though it was just his guess, which was most likely true.
Ah, it would feel so bad to suddenly lose abilities. I know it; Gods were damn scammy. I should copy some world-destruction-level power, then threaten them to make my powers permanent, or I will destroy the world... yeah, I will try; if I get it, then it would be best, and if I didn’t... that would be fine too. Greed is bad anyway.
Karna looked at three ladies who were looking at him, amazed. Probably hoping to see some more tricks. He walked to them.
’’Are you all going to just hold swords, not fight with them?" Karna asked, standing in front of Lysa, who stood in the center— Mina on her left and Priti on her right side.
"We don’t know how?’’ Lysa said.
" Seriously, just stop hesitating. Okay, hold the sword at the front, pointing at me."
Lysa did as he instructed.
"Okay, grip it tighter. Don’t let it slip," Karna said as he created a sword for himself.
It was the same straight silver sword with a golden hilt.
Without hesitation, Karna swung his sword at the sword in front of him that Lysa was holding.
The Swords clashed with a sharp clang! Sound.
Immediately, yellow-transparent armor surrounded Lysa— two eyes; it was just around her torso and shoulders, but it would protect her whole body; not a piece of hair could be harmed.
It absorbed most of the impact force, saving Lysa’s hand from getting hurt and slipping the sword from her grasp.
’’See, Easy,’’ Karna chuckled.
"What’s this?! " Priti asked.
Their eyes lit up; both Priti and Mina raised their hand to touch Lysa’s transparent armor
But their hands passed through it, and they touched her belly.
"Sister Lysa, you so easily blocked Karna’s attack." Mina praised.
" Yes, Sister Lysa. It was so great." Priti joined in.
"Stop, I’m no child. Karna himself aimed his sword, and both of you, stop tickling me!" Lysa glared at them, getting embarrassed.
"Hehehe, Sorry!" Priti moved her gaze and looked at Karna.
"Me, me, next, I also want Maya armor like this", Priti demanded.
" Me too!" Mina said.
"Sure, just attack me, and you both will also be rewarded with that", Karna grinned, holding his sword in front.
Priti and Mina nodded at each other and rushed at him. Lysa didn’t wait; she also joined them.
All three attacked me.
Karna could see swords coming his way, and his hand moved much faster than theirs.
He hit Lysa’s sword first, then Mina’s...
However, Priti stepped on her saree and fell flat on the ground with no one doing anything.
Lysa’s and Mina’s attention shifted to her.
" Ah, Priti, are you okay!" Mina shouted, startled.
Mina and Lysa moved to help her stand up. Priti fell quite hard, but now transparent-yellow armor covered her.
"I didn’t feel anything, not hurt at all ’’ Priti giggled at them as she grabbed Mina’s hand and stood up.
Lysa sighed in relief.
"I see, so if I do that..." Mina raised her sword and stabbed her in the stomach, but it stopped at her armor. "Wow, a sword really can’t touch you!..’’
’’ Mina, you tried to stab me! You evil’’ Priti shouted, though there was a wide smile on her face as she swung her sword at Mina.
Mina blocked the sword with her sword.
"Weak! You need a hundred years to beat me," Mina grinned back at her.
Karna chuckled.
They finally learned how to play.
Karna observed that their strength stayed normal. He looked at Lysa, who stood watching them.
"You go attack from behind", Karna said.
Lysa looked at him.
"No, warriors never attack from behind..."
Karna rolled his eyes at miss worrier.
Lysa laughed. While Hidimbi stood next to him.
