The First Store System

Chapter 1383: Breakthrough and New Beginnings(14)

As Laney evaded the arrows, her movements seemed like those of a graceful dancer. At the same time, whenever a shot succeeded in injuring her, the gray light would engulf that spot, and the wound would heal in no time.

While Laney was battling in her way, the soldiers behind her also charged at the enemy camp. The war, already bloody to its peak, reached another level as heads and different body parts flew across the ground, and the number of corpses grew at an outrageous rate.

Laney wasn't simply dodging the arrows while moving; they had a pattern of moving forward in the direction of the leader of the camp.

The camp leader also noticed it, so he increased the intensity of the attacks. Several attacks also came Laney's way, adding to her toil.

Suddenly, the gray light shrouded her like never before, and her speed reached its peak. It seemed as if Laney was teleporting from one place to another. The energy required to do such a task was extensive, and it showed on her face.

After the sudden movement, Laney reached the camp leader. The next moment, her face turned pale as if drained of all her blood when she activated the attacking aspect of the skill.

An intense surge of gravity appeared around her hand, forcing the space to crack like glass. The surge continued while gravity began to compress into a single point.

In no time, only a tiny dot remained in Laney's hand while the space around her had completely shattered. Her feet had sunk to the ground as that miniature dot was the heaviest thing she held.

The camp leader felt intense danger from the tiny dot, so he immediately activated as many defensive skills as he could. Laney could no longer hold the dot, so she also released it.

The next moment, a scene no less terrifying than an apocalypse dawned on the area. As the dot clashed with the first barrier, a shockwave emerged from it and turned whatever defenses the man had created into dust.

The camp leader wanted to move away from the shockwave but found him unable to do it. At that time, he felt as if someone had placed the weight of the universe on his back. Forget moving; he was slowly sinking to the ground.

The shockwave finally struck him in the following split second, destroying the man's pricey, top-notch armor. It hit him, and he was instantly killed as he turned to nothingness.

Laney found herself standing on cracked ground, gasping for a clear breath while gritting her teeth through the pain slowly spreading across her body. At that moment, she felt like all of her bones had cracked open, but when she saw the scene caused by the attack, every negative seemed to have disappeared.

The next moment, she found herself back inside the store, staring at the screen. Laney was excited to see how long it would take her to master the skill. She had a number in mind and hoped it would be in that range.

Laney didn't have to wait, as immediately after the screen on the semi-pillar lit up, the content of her training time appeared. As soon as it appeared, it got engraved into her head.

[Skill: Singularity Conflux

Level: God

Cultivator: Early to Peak True God

Compatibility: 73%

Training Time: Twenty-two years, seven months, and fifteen days.]

Laney's eyes jumped in shock as they immediately went to the training time section. The time she had thought it would take her to master the skill was in the range of one decade, but she found it to be more than two decades, which was years more than her expectations.

'Fortunately, my compatibility is 73%,' Laney couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief seeing her compatibility with the skill. It was a win she would happily accept despite the longer training time than she expected.

Since the experience session was done for [Singularity Conflux], Laney pulled out the skill card and placed another one. That time, it was [Bastion Ward].

Time flew by, and even though hours had passed for Laney, only seconds had passed in reality. At that time, Laney was looking at the screen, reading the training time for [Graviton Vortex].

[Skill: Graviton Vortex

Level: God

Cultivator: Early to Peak True God

Compatibility: 72%

Training Time: Seven years, eleven months, and three days.]

Even though her compatibility with the skill was only one percent less than what she had with [Singularity Conflux], the training time difference between the two was greater than one decade.

Laney didn't feel much surprised about it since the latter was certainly more complex than the former since the latter had three aspects to it. Laney then pulled out the skill card and moved away from the queue. She had already bought five God level skills for her and also experienced them, so there was no need for her to stay there any longer.

She turned around and walked out of the room, greeted with the sight of a relaxing Aakesh. She thought of stopping for a while so that Aakesh could relax, but she didn't need to do that since Aakesh suddenly opened his eyes and looked in her direction.

A smile spread across Laney's face, and she walked to him, not saying anything and only handing him the five skill cards.

Aakesh took the skill cards from her and read their details. Since Laney had chosen suitable skills and there was no reason to add something of his, he returned the card to her with a nod.

That nod from Aakesh was more valuable to Laney than any expressionless words spoken by Aakesh.

Following the store's set procedure, Laney then said, "Big Brother, I want to buy these five skills."

"You need to pay two thousand… supreme Sacred stones," Aakesh expressionlessly informed, and the next moment, an autonomous alert rang in Laney's head, asking her about paying from the store card.

Laney chose to go ahead with the option, and soon after, another alert informing her of the remaining balance rang in her head. While Aakesh heard an alert from the system about the successful payment.

"The cards are yours to learn now" Aakesh expressionlessly informed.
