The First Store System

Chapter 349: Another Attempt(2)

"… Tratur Tapas Garam…,"

The sound of chant from the fort continued ringing in the battlefield as Aakesh nocked the arrow twice his size to a bow four times the size of him. At the same time, a mile of land around him was sinking at a visible rate due to not being able to handle the weight of the arrow.

The scene looked weird, but no one in the soldier's group was in the mood to check it or laugh at each other.

Aakesh hasn't even shot the arrow, and yet their fellow soldiers were already dying a tragic death with not even their ashes remaining.

The rest of them were facing an intense amount of pressure. The soldiers felt as if someone had put the entire weight of a world on their back.

Aakesh ignored the chant coming from the fort, nocked the arrow, stretched the bowstring using his right hand only to stop when it touched his nose, and then released it aiming at the sky.

"Crack!"

"Jehejeje!"

Fractures on the space began appearing as the arrow flew, aiming to pierce the sky itself, while at the same time, a peal of eerie laughter also rang in the battlefield.

"Jejejejejejeje!"

The laughter only got eerier and louder as the arrow still flew.

The sky also got clear of any arrow due to it as the pressure released by it didn't allow anything to survive in a radius of several miles around it.

The arrow finally stopped flowing as it finally reached the top height of the fort.

"Jeje!"

A similar event like the last time began occurring as the dark scales started melting into the horns of the beast head, while the pattern engraved on the shaft appeared on the beast head, and it began expanding.

While the beast head was expanding, the laughter turned eerier, and after a certain point, it directly began affecting the psyche of the soldiers on the ground. They felt as if someone was beating their consciousness with a hammer.

The pain they felt at that moment was unbearable for them, but fortunately and unfortunately for them, the pain ended right away, and their eyes turned colorless devoid of any life.

"Thud!"

"Thud!"

"Thud!"

The next moment, their bodies began crashing down the ground.

As if their bodies were sand sculptures, the moment they crashed, their bodies collapsed into sand, and soon the air took it away, erasing the proof of their existence.

While the beast head was continuing to expand, Aakesh was unaware that one being was looking at it with a mocking face.

That being was none other than the ruler of the fort and the strongest challenger of Aakesh. Fortunately for Aakesh, the being couldn't interfere in the battle unless the fort lost three-fourths of their soldiers or faced the same amount of damage as the being was the end boss of the training round.

Finally, the beast head stopped getting any bigger. With it coming to a stop, the eerie laughter also stopped, while the beast opened its mouth full wide.

Similar to the last time, the snake-like tongue detached itself from the beast's mouth and crashed on the ground. Soon after that, the bull-like horns also fell.

Few soldiers turned unlucky as the tongue fell on them, crushing them to death, and those who had somehow survived, died the next second when the horns weighing an unimaginable amount crashed on them.

The tongue and horn then began melting into each other, and the next moment, a one-horned snake appeared in full view of the soldiers and Aakesh.

The space that only had fractures earlier couldn't handle the pressure of the one-horned snake and cracked down into shards like glass.

The space got restored to normal in no time, but it faced the same result again.

Aakesh coldly looked at everything happening. Since he couldn't attack when the arrow was active, he had no choice but to watch.

With the appearance of the one-horned snake, the giant beast head floating in the air faded into emptiness not long after.

"… Gustad Tyraut Namah!"

The chanting on the fort also came to a stop after the appearance of the one-horned snake.

Aakesh was already aware of what was coming next, so he warned the one-horned snake telepathically and ordered it to kill all the soldiers on the ground.

The one-horned snake had only three seconds of existence before its disappearance, so it understood Aakesh, especially after learning what was coming next.

"ROAR!"

The one-horned snake opened its mouth full wide, and then a roar loud enough to even shake the soul of an Immortal echoed in the area.

More than half of the soldiers on the ground couldn't handle the roar and died cruelly.

It wasn't an attack from the one-horned snake, but just its roar. It then disappeared from where it was on and appeared in the air.

It opened its mouth wide again, but not for roaring this time. Instead, energy began gathering onto the tip of its mouth in the shape of a sphere.

When the energy sphere reached the size of a basketball, the snake threw it away right into the midst of the remaining soldiers on the ground.

Before the one-horned snake could even see the destruction caused by its creation, it looked at the fort with a solemn look in its eyes.

"BOOM!"

While on the ground, an explosion even louder than the snake's roar echoed, and soon, a mushroom cloud engulfed as far a radius of hundreds of miles.

The wind flew at a quick speed, so in no time, the cloud dispersed, and a pit of endless depth spreading wide across tens of miles appeared, connecting the fort.

Not even a single soldier survived the blast, but Aakesh and the one-horned snake didn't look at that. Their focus was on the red sun that had appeared out of nowhere.

"ROAR!"

The one-horned snake didn't like the red sun and felt threatened by it, so it angrily roared in a warning.

The sun was also sentient. It also didn't back down and roared back by creating a flare.

Aakesh had to move his face away to save himself from burning; such was the temperature released by the flare.

"Destroy it!" Aakesh coldly ordered the snake, as it only had less than two seconds left.

The one-horned snake didn't like Aakesh's cold tone, so it glared at him in response.. But it didn't refuse the order and rushed at the sun.
