The First Store System

Chapter 406: One Person vs. an Organization(1)

After the self-promotion, Aakesh turned around and left for the portal.

The portal was like a cave with shining stones randomly placed on the wall welcoming him. Aakesh then took a step forward and entered the cave.

The travel portals were costly because they were quick for a fixed journey simultaneously they were comfortable. It was the peak technology developed by the first-ranked organization in the Primal dimension.

After entering the portal, Aakesh found the space around him firmly binding him. It felt uncomfortable at the start, and if Aakesh wanted, he could break out of the bind with quite an ease, but the next moment, the discomforting feeling disappeared.

He then noticed the shining lights around him disappearing. A few seconds later, he found himself in darkness, but he didn't have to stay in such a situation for long.

A few seconds later, a light similar to the light at the end of the tunnel welcomed him. Aakesh then felt the discomforting feeling returning, but it disappeared not long after as the bind of space on him vanished.

Aakesh then took a step in the direction of the light. The next moment, he found himself outside the portal. 

The surrounding around him looked the same as the scene before he had entered the portal. If not for different race guards, he would've thought that he was still at Tortoal.

After Aakesh exited the portal, a guard standing not far from him approached him.

"State your identity and your reason for coming here," The guard expressionlessly asked Aakesh.

"Aakesh, a store owner. I am here for only the travel portal. My destination is different," Aakesh expressionlessly answered the guard and handed over a card to him.

These cards were made of energy and would die out after a few years, so creating these for Aakesh wasn't any trouble.

The guard took the card, glanced at it, and then crushed it. He then moved out of the way and pointed Aakesh toward the portal, from where he could leave.

Aakesh nodded and left. Similar to the last time, he did another self-promotion.

Time flew by, and around an hour had passed.

After using travel portals seven times, spending around seven hundred supreme Primal portals, and teleporting three times, Aakesh finally reached the boundary of the Universe, Demonic-Fire.

A heatwave suddenly attacked Aakesh as a group of three Aisad appeared in front of Aakesh.

"Halt, intruder," An unfamiliar sound appeared inside Aakesh's head.

"Non-Aisads aren't allowed here," Another round of the same voice rang inside his head.

Aakesh didn't want to initiate the battle with the Aisads before knowing whether they were linked with Nielle or not, but it doesn't mean he would leave when told.

"I am not here to fight you. I only want to clarify some things," Aakesh calmly told the group of Aisads.

<br/>"We will give you last warning. If you don't leave this place, you will be responsible for what would happen to you," The same voice responded inside Aakesh's head.

Aakesh, in response, untied his bow, aimed at the speaking Aisad, and shot an arrow.

"Whoosh!"

The arrow flew, tearing through the space aiming to pierce the Aisad, but a meter before it could reach him, a fire appeared out of nowhere, engulfed the arrow, and turned it into ashes right away.

The group of Aisads simultaneously sucked a cold breath of air, seeing the ashes of the arrow levitating in the space. They didn't even see it coming. If not for the subconscious fire barrier the Aisad had around him, it would've resulted in an injury.

"YOU DARE!" An angry voice echoed in the space as a giant vertical mouth opened, starting from just below his chest and ending at the waist, and yelled.

Aakesh, in response, shot another arrow. Since Aakesh had taken the initiative to attack, he would now put the group of Aisads on their deathbed and then would enter the Universe through them.

The member in the group of Aisads wasn't some random being, so unlike the last time, one rushed at the arrow while the other two charged toward Aakesh.

"BOOM!"

Before the Aisad could catch the arrow, it suddenly exploded, resulting in him getting knocked backward.

Since the Aisad was a late Demigod, on the verge of reaching the peak level, the explosion didn't do any damage to him, except the throw.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Right at that time, two arrows flew toward the two other Aisads. Remembering the explosion only a moment earlier, they prepared themselves not to get thrown backward.

But, instead of exploding, the arrow, when it was only a meter away from the two, two new arrows separated from it, taking the duo aback.

"Puchi!"

"Puchi!"

"Puchi!"

The automatic fire barrier around the duo succeeded in burning one arrow to the ashes. One of the duos succeeded in destroying both arrows before they could multiply or cause a severe injury.

The other one wasn't so fortunate as he only succeeded in doing it once, while for the last arrow before he could destroy it, it successfully multiplied, and then three arrows pierced him in the throat, left eye, and left shoulder.

Time flew by.

It has been around six minutes since Aakesh arrived here, and the battle began. Aakesh was calmly standing on one side while the three Aisads lay on the space.

Upon arriving here, the two had four horns with fire engulfing them, while the last one had five horns with fire, but now, none of them had any horns since Aakesh had cut them all away.

The number of horns engulfed in fire showed the number of fires they had in their control.

All three of them had lost one eye each, while one was sliced in half up to his waist. If not for being an Immortal, the Aisad would have died.

"Should I enter now?" Aakesh expressionlessly asked as he stepped on the half-split Aisad. He had covered his feet with the element of destruction, resulting in a heartrending scream from the Aisad.

"Hmph, if you think you can enter by torturing us, you're wrong," One of the Aisad scoffed and mocked Aakesh for such old-fashioned tactic.

Aakesh, with an expressionless face, looked at the respective Aisad and forced him to look into his eyes.

The next moment, Aakesh's eyes turned darker, while his pupil enlarged just like a cat, resulting in Aisad's eye turning lifeless.
