The First Store System

Chapter 872: Gloomy Lily!

As the Lizee burned its blood, the entire arena turned so hot that even the air began to boil.

The numerous injuries caused by the air seemed to disappear at that moment as the sky rumbled, its falling speed growing severalfold.

Aakesh could see the creature shriveling due to the loss of blood, but not for long, as he heard a crack.

When Aakesh looked up, he saw the giant saber cracking from its tip. They kept crumbling under the weight of the ground and the sky, and the pressure on them grew, increasing the crumbling speed.

The Lizee had shrunk to one-fourth of its total size, while the black fur spread across its body had turned gray. But Lizee didnʼt seem to care about that. Its eyes contained bloodlust and excitement as it charged toward Aakesh.

It seemed to throw everything it had into the punch, aimed at Aakeshʼs head.

Aakesh, already bearing the brunt of the sky and the ground, tried to defend himself, but he failed.

The Lizeeʼs punch hit Aakesh, exploding his upper body into a blood cloud. It was an instant death as when Aakesh opened his eyes, he found himself on the exit portal.

Aakesh stepped out of the portal and didnʼt find Lily waiting there for him. After calculating the time, Aakesh found that there were still several minutes left before Lilyʼs training came to an end, so he decided to enter another training area and sharpen his saber skills.

Time flew by, and several minutes passed in the blink of an eye. As Aakesh came out of the training arena, he sighted Lily waiting there for him.

A gentle smile spread across Aakeshʼs face as he went to his chair and sat down.

”Why were you gloomy?” Aakesh asked as he sat down. He had seen Lily being gloomy when she came out of the room.

Lily didnʼt hide anything from Aakesh and told him everything. The betrayal of one of her subordinates didnʼt end with one man.

Today, she had found that several of her best soldiers had also betrayed her. It wasnʼt the end, the first friends made by Lily other than Aakesh were the wolf cubs.

Even though their talent was average, Lily had spent too much on them since they were her friends. She didnʼt want to see a time when only she would be left, and the wolves would be dead of old age.

The squadron that betrayed Lily was headed by one such wolf follower. The soldierʼs betrayal cost Lily her friend, who lost its life trying to fight the soldiers.

When Aakesh heard Lily, he could only sigh with frustration. Aakesh had told Lily about the wolf cubs not being able to match her talent and that someday she would have to give up on them. It would be better for both her and the wolves.

She had started with five wolf cubs, and now only one was left in her care. Two of them died of old age; one died in battle, and the fourth one died today trying to fight the soldiers.

Lilyʼs voice almost broke down when she talked about the death of the wolf.

Aakesh didnʼt disturb Lily and let her vent herself.

e to regret accepting Aakeshʼs second condition in the future.”> ”Aakesh, what should I do?” Lily suddenly looked at Aakesh and asked. e to regret accepting Aakeshʼs second condition in the future.

”In three months, I will be able to reach your territory. Wait until then,” Aakesh told Lily. He decided this time to personally intervene since the mental blow taken by Lily after the wolfʼs death had angered him as well.

Lily could only nod, as Aakesh wasnʼt omnipotent in Panagea. The system was, but it wouldnʼt interfere with the lives of its inhabitants unless Aakesh paid a great price.

Lily knew that if it were for her, Aakesh would be willing to pay any price to the system, but she didnʼt want him to do that.

The duo then discussed a few more things, and soon their traditional discussion came to an end.

The next moment, Lily and Aakesh disappeared from the selection area and appeared in the storeʼs hall.

Lily then summoned the doors to the room and left for Panagea.

After Lily left, Aakeshʼs face turned cold as he turned around and proceeded toward the portal room.

Now that he had promised Lily that he would help her, Aakesh needed to reach Lilyʼs territory in three months.

After appearing in Panagea, Aakesh decided to travel to the nearest city. He had Lilyʼs territory coordinates, so he needed a map.

Time flew by, and several hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Aakesh couldnʼt get the complete map, so he only bought the one that could take him the closest to Lilyʼs territory coordinates.

Aakesh didnʼt just travel, he also killed and leveled up during his travel.

When around eight hours were left before sunrise, Aakesh reappeared in the storeʼs hall for his meditation session.
