Chapter 665: A Familiar Place!

Aakesh had only won once in the sixteenth stage battle. That was his second-day entry here when he had used a sword.

After that battle, it had become a streak of Aakesh losing the sixteenth round of combat. Unfortunately for Aakesh, today, the trend continued instead of breaking down.

Aakesh had lost battles in the sixteenth stage in several ways. Some were hard fought where he lost by a slight margin, while some were one-sided for the opponent to win.

Today's sixteenth round of battle went the latter way of Aakesh. Even in that, today's loss could be considered his worst ever defeat.

In the sixteenth stage, White Dragon was greater than the size of the battle arena of the fifteenth stage, and it was just when it was at its actual body shape and did not use any skills to reduce or increase its size. Not only that, but due to the Dragon's ability, the Dragon was countless times stronger than its earlier version.

Despite Aakesh wanting to take the initiative, he failed to do so, as the movement speed of the Dragon had breached several notches higher than Aakesh's agility. In the end, Aakesh died with a single swipe of the Dragon's claw.

The Dragon couldn't help but roar in anger after seeing Aakesh dying in a single strike. The Dragon was angry as it had been waiting to rip Aakesh apart for using a weapon made of its kind, but unfortunately for it, it couldn't even savor it. At the same time, there was also excitement in its eyes since it succeeded in avenging its kind.

As there was only a single entry a day in the training environment, Aakesh appeared in the selection area.

Since there was still some time left before Lily's training got over, so Aakesh decided to go for another training session.

The next moment, he put the flail back to where it belonged, picked up a sword, chose his next training environment, and pressed the switch.

Not long after, a familiar scene of space crack emerged and sucked Aakesh inside.

The next moment, Aakesh found himself in a familiar place.

Since Aakesh had reached the physical limit of the Primal dimension, his stats couldn't grow any further. But that didn't mean that training was one way of passing the time for him, and since it had become his daily schedule, he did it.

Even though his stats didn't rise, that didn't mean he didn't grow strong. If the previous Aakesh, who had reached his limit, were to fight the White Dragon at the fifteenth stage, without any training over these past several months, the result of the battle would have been different.

Due to this, Aakesh never took training as some time-passing exercise.

Aakesh had been in this training area in his early days. Since Aakesh was at his mightiest when he had the sword in his hands. Since he hadn't trained with it in a while, Aakesh decided to spend some time on it.

Aakesh currently stood in a closed place filled with arrow machines. Here he had nowhere to run, with his legs fixed at one spot.

Each arrow machine had the capability of shooting more than ten thousand arrows every second.

There were several arrow machines spread over all the closed area, but currently, only one was active, as only it released the mechanical sound it did when active.

The arrow machine would shoot one time toward Aakesh, with each arrow being in his range. If Aakesh failed to dodge even one: one body part of his was sure to get pierced. Aakesh had to do all this while his legs rooted in a single spot, and the arrows would surely come after his legs as well.

With every success, the number of active arrow machines would grow. The last time, Aakesh came here was around three thousand years ago. At that time, the highest number of arrow machines he had faced was thirty-three.

As the current Aakesh was countless times more powerful than that version of him, Aakesh had a goal of at least breaching the mark of ten thousand arrow machines at once.

Aakesh's eyes turned cold as the aura in the space suddenly turned suffocating. Even though these were machines with no emotions and sentience, as soon as the time to begin arrived, killing intent materialized all over the area.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, the continuous sounds of arrows tearing through the air rang as the machine shot them.

Aakesh decided to give himself some challenge as he closed his eyes and ears. He decided to defend himself just after sensing the killing intent. It was this way, Aakesh had decided his goal, as with his ears and eyes open, even defending against trillions of arrows every second was not an issue to him.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

As the arrows reached, Aakesh's sword also arrived in the way to destroy its opponents. It didn't even take one-hundredth of a second when Aakesh had destroyed the entirety of ten thousand arrows, and their broken pieces covered the area around him.

The next moment, a white light passed through the area, and all the arrows had disappeared.

If someone were here, they would have seen the broken pieces of arrows returning to their counterparts to become complete, and started flowing toward their machine as if someone was reversing time.

"GADDD"

The next moment, a new sound rang in the area as the second machine got active after Aakesh succeeded to dodge or destroy all the arrows in the first stage.

Even though Aakesh had his eyes and ears closed, he still found about the second machine getting active due to the increased killing intent in the area.

Earlier, Aakesh couldn't sense this amount of killing intent since his sensitivity was nowhere as close as he had currently. It wasn't wrong when they said that an adult fears a lion more than a child.

Time flew by, and several seconds had passed.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

The sounds of metallic clashes were continuously ringing in the area as the sword clashed with the arrow before it could even touch Aakesh.

Aakesh was currently fighting against three hundred arrow machines, and not even once did a situation arise where the arrow even reached close to hitting Aakesh.
