The First Store System

Chapter 244: Killing(End)

Seeing the man Aakesh had punched a moment earlier in a severe condition, Aakesh reached in front of him and swung his sword.

The next moment, the struggle of the man came to an end, as he lost his consciousness and soon after his life.

Aakesh ignored the struggling headless body in front of him and instead focused on the other Level 43. The man had no injury since his sword was there for him to take the brunt of Aakesh's strength.

He was looking at Aakesh with horror on his face. A thought of escaping the area emerged in his heart, seeing the cold stare of the blue-skinned man.

The moment the thought emerged, he turned around and ran, bringing a look of shock on the faces of the Level 41 and Level 40 members. They also began running in different directions, hoping for Aakesh to run after the other so that they could escape.

Unfortunately for them, they had attacked Aakesh, so being left alive was never an option. Aakesh decided to kill the Level 41 and Level 40 members first, so he scanned the escaping members.

Mark and the leader were oblivious to what was happening on the other battlefield since they had to concentrate solely on their conflict.

Aakesh stared at the escaping members. Before they had even moved 100 meters, they felt a shadow covering them.

They didn't dare look behind and only ran when suddenly a pressure dawned on them and made them stop in their steps.

With a lot of struggle, the bound guild members turned their heads to see the reason behind the sudden arrival of pressure. When they witnessed the scene, their legs began shaking as they felt chills running down their spine.

A pure white elephant the size of a small mountain looked at them as if they were ants, and the elephant wanted to crush it.

It was the skill, Aakesh had gotten from his opponent in the training area.

Aakesh extended his hands and ordered the elephant to crush the guild members. The elephant scoffed at Aakesh's order, but it didn't refuse and rushed at the group.

In less than a second, the white elephant crushed two Level 40 and one Level 41. After getting crushed, the corpses turned into a gory paste and then disintegrated into nothingness as if they never existed.

After ordering the elephant to crush the Level 40 and Level 41 guild members, Aakesh turned in the direction the Level 43 had escaped.

Since the man was a level 43 and had some movement skills, Aakesh wouldn't be able to find him if some more time passed, but right now, it wasn't an issue. He activated the skill, Universal-Eye, and the next moment, a real-time 3D projection of 8 yojanas of the area around him appeared in front of him.

On one corner of the projection, he could see two greyed-out beings. They were the leader and Mark. Aakesh ignored them and instead looked at the other greyed-out figure since the man exceeded his level by eleven levels, which was higher than the limit.

After remembering his location, Aakesh rushed in the direction of the man.

While on the other hand, Mark and the leader had stopped fighting since they felt the land rumbling. They looked in the direction of the source and witnessed an elephant the size of a small mountain chasing one of the guild members.

The leader couldn't just let one of his guild members die in front of him, so he tried to attack the elephant using a long-range skill. How could Mark let the chance go?

His sword suddenly began emanating a chill, and the land started to freeze. He raised his sword and brought it down in a vertical posture, creating a light-blue slash.

The slash rushed at the leader, aiming to split him into two pieces. He had no choice but to let his guild member die and defend himself.

The elephant crushed the man and turned him into a paste. The next moment, the corpse disintegrated into nothingness. The projection of the elephant also began scattering into light particles since all the members Aakesh had ordered it to kill had been killed.

"Please, let me go," The Level 43 man pleaded as Aakesh had caught him. Watching the death of his other counterpart made him give up any shred of confidence he had to fight him.

Aakesh didn't speak anything in response and swung his sword from the man's head to the ground, splitting him into two vertical pieces, giving him a quick death.

After killing the man, Aakesh left the area as his quest still wasn't complete.

After the elephant dispersed, Aakesh noticed it so he knew all the guild members other than the Level 50 leader had been killed. Even though he had done his part, he still hadn't gotten the reward of three levels since the quest would only get completed after the death of the leader.

And, he needed to kill the leader using his own hand if he wanted two bonus levels, so he rushed in the direction of the fight between Mark and the leader.

[Host, the sun has risen in Visteerna. It's time for you to open the store.]

While Aakesh was on his way to the battlefield, he suddenly got an alert from the system.

He didn't even have to think twice before refusing the system. How could he leave at this stage when he was only one death away from getting the bonus reward as well?

He decided to leave after killing the leader. As for the customers waiting outside the store, he didn't worry since there were now 150 virtual portals instead of 50.

Even though he had made the decision to leave after killing the leader, he couldn't take long as the system would surely reprimand him for his actions.

The battlefield was around thirty miles away from where he was right now, so even if he rushed at his full speed, it would still take more than a few minutes to reach there.

He began looking for movement skills in his copied skills. After searching for a few seconds, he found the skill the man had used a few moments earlier to escape from him.

The skill was named Nine Shifts. It allowed the owner to run nine times faster. Since Aakesh didn't need to learn it before using it, he activated the skill, and his energy units started dropping like a waterfall.

In less than a second, Aakesh had lost more than 20 units of his energy, but he had also covered a distance of a mile in that duration.

The distance that would've taken him a few minutes to reach, he covered it in less than thirty seconds.

Mark and the leader were going on with their clashes. No one was coming out as the better party between them.

The sudden movement of Aakesh disturbed them, and their eyes fell on Aakesh coming toward them.

Mark wanted to ignore Aakesh, but he noticed that instead of watching their battle, Aakesh had decided to get involved. Mark couldn't let that happen since his evolution herb was at stake.

In contrast, the leader had a different reaction. He felt chills upon seeing him approaching them. Even though he had been fighting Mark for the past few minutes, he still didn't get the same pressure from him that he had sensed from Aakesh.

Aakesh didn't care what they were thinking, and right when he reached the radius of 100 meters around the leader, he activated the skill, SandPort.

Before the leader could do anything, Aakesh appeared in front of him and swung his sword.

Mark's eyes turned red in anger, seeing Aakesh attacking his opponent. "GET OUT!" He angrily yelled as he swung his sword, aiming to take his hands away.

Even though he was angry, he didn't dare to kill Aakesh as he was an adventurer, and they could revive anytime. He didn't want to make an enemy of an undead enemy.

Aakesh's eyes turned cold, seeing Mark attacking him. The skill, SandPort was still active, so he disappeared from there and appeared right behind Mark.

Before Mark could comprehend what had happened, a sword projection appeared above Aakesh and fell upon him.

Mark wasn't a Level 50 for a joke. His body reacted to the attack and tried to move out of the attack range, but unfortunately and fortunately, his entire body couldn't move in time, and the sword fell upon him, taking only his left hands in the end.

The leader, seeing Mark and the blue-skinned man fighting, had gotten his chance to strike. But instead of attacking Aakesh or Mark, he decided to escape since Aakesh gave him unsurmountable pressure, especially after Mark had attempted to attack him.

Aakesh noticed the leader escaping, but currently, he focused on Mark since he had attacked him and tried to kill him. He could find the leader after killing Mark.

"ARGH, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Mark yelled at Aakesh. His voice, containing a mix of fear and anger.

In Aakesh's opinion, the question didn't deserve a response. He instead activated the skill again, and the next moment, the projection of the sword reappeared.

Mark shuddered and saw his death when the projection reappeared. Aakesh coldly stared at Mark as the sword projection fell upon him.

Mark tried to move out of its way, but unfortunately for him, his body didn't react as fast as he had hoped for, and the sword split him into two pieces, and before his body could touch the ground, it scattered like ashes.

After killing Mark, Aakesh noticed that the sky above him had begun turning dark, but he ignored it and rushed in the direction the leader had escaped, using the skill Universal-Eye.
