Rudra held the crystal up, its glow illuminating the dark chamber. The figure took a step back, its eyes narrowing.
"What's that?" it demanded.
Rudra smiled. "It's a little something I got from a friend," he said. "And it's going to help me get out of here."
The figure snarled. "You'll never escape," it spat.
Rudra's eyes blazed with determination. "We'll see about that."
As he held the crystal, Rudra felt a surge of energy flow through him. The crystal was imbuing him with its power, and he could feel his strength and agility increasing.
Without hesitation, Rudra charged forward, the crystal held aloft. The figure raised its hand, summoning a dark energy blast.
But Rudra was too fast. He dodged the blast with ease, using the crystal's power to enhance his reflexes.
As he closed in on the figure, Rudra could see the fear in its eyes. It knew that it was no match for Rudra, not with the crystal's power on his side.
With a swift kick, Rudra sent the figure flying across the room. It crashed into the wall, sliding to the ground with a groan.
Rudra stood over it, the crystal still glowing brightly in his hand. "Where's my sister?" he demanded.
The figure looked up at him, its eyes filled with hatred. "You'll never find her," it spat.
Rudra's eyes narrowed. "We'll see about that."
With a swift motion, Rudra reached out and touched the crystal to the figure's forehead. The figure's eyes widened in shock as Rudra began to extract its memories.
At first, the memories were fragmented and unclear. But as Rudra continued to probe, he began to see glimpses of his sister.
She was being held in a heavily guarded fortress, deep within the heart of the dark master's kingdom. Rudra could see the fear in her eyes, but he also saw a spark of determination.
She was waiting for him, and she knew that he would come.
Rudra's eyes snapped back into focus as he withdrew the crystal from the figure's forehead. He knew what he had to do.
With a fierce determination, Rudra set off towards the fortress, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead. The crystal's power still coursed through him, and he knew that he was invincible.
As he emerged from the chamber, Rudra was greeted by a group of heavily armed guards. They were clearly expecting him, and they charged forward with a fierce battle cry.
But Rudra was not intimidated. With the crystal's power guiding him, he charged forward to meet them.
The battle was fierce and intense, with Rudra using every trick in the book to take down his opponents. But despite being outnumbered, he emerged victorious, the guards lying defeated at his feet.
As he stood there, catching his breath, Rudra couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. He had come a long way since his journey began, and he knew that he was ready for whatever lay ahead.
The fortress loomed before him, its walls towering above the surrounding landscape. Rudra knew that his sister was being held within its walls, and he was determined to rescue her.
With a fierce cry, Rudra charged forward, the crystal's power guiding him towards his destiny.
