Parth and Tatya took on the formidable task of chanting the Mahamrityunjay mantra, their voices merging as one. If one's strength waned, the other seamlessly continued, their resolve unbreakable. In the world of dreams, Joshi entered the lucid dream realm, ready to confront Phalgun.
In the dream, Phalgun appeared, his displeasure evident. Joshi, his voice filled with urgency, asked Phalgun within the dream, "Phalgun, where are the bodies of Russel and Dipak? Tell me!"
Phalgun, with a sinister grin, replied, "They're in the school's storeroom. But, Joshi, you won't escape this dream alive to get them."
Joshi, unwavering, pressed further, "I'll do whatever it takes to save them, Phalgun."
Phalgun, confident in his powers, retorted, "You can try, Joshi, but you'll never break free from this nightmare."
Phalgun unleashed his destructive powers, attempting to burn Joshi's soul.
Joshi's own suffering was immense, yet the Mahamrityunjay mantra chanting by Parth and Tatya was protecting him from complete annihilation. Joshi realized he couldn't defeat Phalgun. Joshi's voice quivered as he confronted Phalgun within the dream, "Phalgun, I need you to understand the magnitude of what you're doing."
Phalgun, his tone smug, replied, "Joshi, you're in my dream world now, and there's no escape."
With unwavering determination, Joshi pressed on, "I won't let you harm these innocent souls. I have a way to stop you."
A smirk crept across Phalgun's face as he inquired, "And what way is that, old man?"
Joshi realized the only way to save Tatya's friend and to make it alive from this dream was by trapping Phalgun within his dream state, Joshi made a painful choice. In doing so, he could save Tatya's friends and himself, but he'd forever be haunted by Phalgun's presence in his dreams.
Phalgun, with his supernatural powers, read Joshi's mind. He incredulously scoffed, "You'd sacrifice your own peace for them? How noble of you."
Joshi, undeterred, declared, "It's a price I'm willing to pay to save them."
With great determination, Joshi managed to complete the act. He trapped Phalgun in his dream state, aware of the fact that the creature would haunt his dream as long as he's alive. Joshi then astral projected to the school storeroom, where he located the human bodies of Russel and Dipak, rescuing them from their animal forms. Upon returning to his body and waking up, Joshi performed a ritual to transfer the souls back into their original human forms.
The emotional reunion that followed was beyond words. Tatya, Dipak, and Russel embraced, tears of joy streaming down their faces. They expressed their heartfelt gratitude to Joshi and Parth for their unwavering support. Joshi was content knowing he had helped but understood that Phalgun's presence would forever plague his dreams, a haunting reminder of the selfless sacrifice he had made.
