Karna started using his celestial weapons, killing groups of them together.

His armour appeared whenever someone tried to attack him from behind.

He fought ferociously with all of them.

He shot few arrows in air which appeared in millions, killing the demons. He shot arrows at those flying in air. The demons who tried to cross the protection got instantly burnt.

Karna had his eyes red in anger.

He kept shooting arrows.

Suddenly, he heard the sounds of chariots. He saw that Bhishma, Dronacharya, Pandavas, Duryodhan and Dussahan had arrived at the spot.

"Who told him?" Karna asked himself confused, seeing Duryodhan.

"A postman saw this and sent a letter to us", Duryodhan said worriedly.

Karna nodded and continued attacking.

The men joined him, killing the demons.

Arjun saw Karna's valour. He had no problem with Karna since start, he would have admired his strength if Karna wouldn't have gate crashed the event where Kuru princes were showing their skills.

"How come have you so much of energy? First that Jarasandh, now these demons", Duryodhana asked.

Karna just smiled.

He said these lines.

"sūto vā sūtaputro vā yo vā ko vā bhavāmyaham।
daivāyattaṃ kule janma madāyattaṃ tu pauruṣam॥"

(Whether I am a weaver or his son, whoever or whatever I am, the birth in this family was given by my Daiva or fate. But the prowess and power I have accomplished are by my own self.)

Everyone stared at him as he said that.

Duryodhan smiled in pride and patted his shoulder and they continued fighting.

"Now, I am more eager to fight with you, Angraj", Arjun smirked.

"Trust me, you can't be more than me", Karna smirked back.

After minutes of tension, finally, most of the demons were dead and some started running away, only to be killed.

"You challenged me to take my wives, in front of me", Karna gritted his teeth but showed a smile as the demon grew pale in fear.

"Why don't you try now?" Karna suggested.

The demon started running back. Karna shot arrows and one beheaded him.

Karna was severely wounded.

But, he didn't care. He shot two arrows and they removed that arrow walls. He stumbled a bit due to his injured state.

"Arya!" His wives ran towards him.

Arjun and other four Pandavas rushed towards Urvi.

Bhishma and Dronacharya rushed towards the sage who was hugging his daughter as they both cried.

Duryodhan and Dussahan rushed towards Karna but stood at a distance, smiling at the scene where his wives were crying and hugging him.

"I am fine", Karna chuckled.

Duryodhan went forward to hug him as Karna's wives left him.

He hugged him tightly as Karna hugged him back.

"You have got injured", Duryodhan said concerned. "We need to get you treated", he added.

"This is noth-" Karna stopped seeing Duryodhan pass a glare to him. "Fine. I will get this treated", Karna said.

Prakriti rushed inside and brought medicines for him. Karna sat on a stone and she applied the medicine. "Thank you so much for saving me", Prakriti said.

"It was my duty, lady", Karna said politely.

"Oh noble one! I am in gratitude for you saved my innocent daughter and freed her from the clutches of the evil demon", the sage said. "However, there is one more favour which must be done by you on us", he added.

"Anything you want, Oh sage", Karna said.

"Please accept my daughter's hand in marriage", The sage said.

Karna's smile fell.

"Women are not respected for their wishes if they are not married, by these demons. If she marries an accomplished warrior like you, the heart of this father will be rid of worries for his daughter and her safety. Kindly accept my request, oh noble one", the sage said.

Karna felt troubled.

He stared at his wives, dumbfounded, not really knowing that what should he even say in this matter.

"If this is your wish", Vrushali said, as for being Karn's first wife, "Then he will marry her today itself", she said.

Karna looked at all of them who nodded at him.

"I will marry your daughter", Karna said. "I want to request you to kindly move in the premises of the mighty empire so that we are assured of your safety as well and the citizens can get the great medical care you provide", Karna requested.

"Sure, oh great king. Thank you for considering the plight of this powerless father", the sage said

Karna folded his hands. "Being of help to someone is a matter of pride for me for I am the one who has faced numerous hardships due to the norms of this conservative society", he said and stood up.

"Let's leave for the kingdom now. Everyone are worried", Bhishma ordered and they nodded.

Karn's wives stepped on the chariots. Karna had the sage and Prakriti going with him.

They set for Hastinapura and the sun set by that time, they reached the kingdom.

Karna was immediately taken in a hug by Gandhari who showered him with motherly love, after he was left by his parents to live in the royal palace, all alone.

"Karna", Kunti called out as well.

Karn felt ashamed at the loving and concerned tone that she used as he was the part of a conspiracy against her sons and her.

His eyes rested on her feet only. He bent down and touched them. Automatically, tears welled up in his eyes and fell on her legs.

Kunti caressed his hair, feeling his tears wetting her feet.

"Are you alright, son?" She asked.

"I don't know", he said honestly. He looked up at her and Kunti's heart broke seeing her son's red eyes.

"Tomorrow, you both will marry", Bhishma said.

"Marry?" Kunti muttered confused.

"Actually, due to the demon attack, Prakriti's father wants Karna to marry her as he's her saviour and for her protection", Dronacharya said.

"For that, we need to take rest", Dhritrashtra said.

They all departed in their chambers.

"Prakriti?" Her father asked as they were being escorted to the guest rooms.

Prakriti looked up at her father.

"You want to marry Angraj right? I am sorry for not even asking you about it. I got so drawn in the worry for you that I forgot that your wish is greater than my concern", her father said.

Prakriti smiled.

"Who wouldn't want to marry a great man like him? He had no idea about the help arriving and the demons were in millions. Yet, he stayed and fought. Even after seeing, his celestial weapons were overpowered by demons as they were so...so...so many, he stood like a lion and fought against them. After being almost kidnapped by a demon, I need a kind hearted and powerful warrior like him. So don't worry, father. I am marrying him with all my heart and soul", Prakriti said.

The sage nodded, relieved after hearing his daughter.
