*The battle between Sant and Binash*
Upon entering Binash's territory via the dark jungle, Sant alighted from Rigan and proceeded on foot, accompanied by his faithful companion. Binash's castle, an imposing structure suspended in the air, loomed over the jungle, its colossal size eclipsing the moonlight. Adorned with opulent diamonds, numerous pillars encircled the castle, each guarded by strange and menacing life forms.

Sant and Rigan scrutinized these entities, recognizing their semblance to zombies. They surmised that these were likely captured tourists and locals who had been subjected to Binash's cruel torture and forced into service as guardians of his castle. Apprehensive about the possibility of Raghav being among them, Sant and Rigan continued their reconnaissance with caution.

Suddenly, an abrupt force pulled them upward, their necks ensnared in a vice-like grip. A robotic creature had seized them and placed them upon its foot, attempting to crush Rigan beneath its massive weight. However, Sant swiftly intervened, repelling the robot and casting it aside. At that moment, the sound of approaching footsteps alerted them to the presence of more adversaries.

Two additional robots emerged, unleashing a barrage of gunfire in their direction. Simultaneously, four more robots emerged from behind, adding their firepower to the assault. The fallen robot promptly rose and joined its comrades, encircling Sant and Rigan. Faced with overwhelming odds, they reluctantly surrendered to the robots, recognizing the futility of further resistance.
