The First Store System

Aakesh recognized the towering figure. It was one of the eleven Void beasts.

Each of the twelve Void beasts had a different ability, giving them different kinds of extraordinary powers. The Void beast in front of Aakesh had the quality of physique.

It had an undying physique with an outrageous amount of strength. The monstrous healing rate of the beast could be seen by the severe burns mark already disappearing when not even a second had passed since the extinguishment of the black flame.

Aakesh couldn't help but frown, recognizing the figure. From the moment he found out the connection between Demonic-Fire and Nielle, he knew that confronting the Void beast would happen. But now that the confrontation was bound to occur, Aakesh felt the trouble.

The disparity in strength between a Void beast and the strongest of the Primal dimension was already so vast that ends couldn't be seen, while Aakesh was only a Tao Palace equivalent expert. Even with the bow, he couldn't survive against the Void beast, let alone win.

Aakesh had only a single option if he wanted to fight the Void beast, and it was the use of one of the Absolute arrows, and that too, the single-kill one.

Aakesh using an Absolute arrow wasn't the end of the situation. The Void beasts were the personal creation of a Deva, and they were living in the Primal and Sacred dimensions by Deva's order. Considering this situation, killing a Void beast was equivalent to offending a Deva, and offending a Deva was no worse than attempting a suicide.

"Strange creature, who are you? Why can't I recognize your race?" A voice echoed in the space, bringing Aakesh out of his thoughts.

Aakesh didn't answer straight away but stared at the Void beast. Due to the monstrous healing rate, the Void beast looked the same as before arriving here, without even a slight scratch mark.

"I am Aakesh, a store owner," Aakesh expressionlessly answered, breaking the silence. "It's your problem that you can't recognize my race," He further added.

If not for the lack of any emotion on Aakesh's face or tone, the Void beast would have taken Aakesh's second response as a taunt.

"Why are you attacking the Demonic-Fire?" The Void beast then asked. From the moment it had arrived here, it could sense something wrong with the situation.

Any sane person would use the single help of the Void beast when destruction is near, but here nothing sort of such event was taking place.

Except for four dead Aisads lying across the space and a tiny flicker on the barrier surrounding the galaxy, the Void beast didn't find any destruction that warranted its summon.

It had also had an uncomfortable feeling where it had gotten summoned, but since it couldn't put its hand on the issue, it had decided to ask the enemy it got called here to kill.

"It has nothing to do with you," Aakesh expressionlessly responded. The Void beast got taken aback by the response of the enemy.

<br/>Since its creation, not a single soul had dared to talk loudly to it, let alone disrespect. Before it could respond, the blue-skinned man suddenly aimed his bow toward it.

The Void beast finally noticed the bow and couldn't help but get surprised by its quality. Even a creature of its stature felt jealous of Aakesh for having the bow.

The next moment, the jealousy disappeared as a horrified expression took its place. Its body started shaking in fear, seeing the arrow taking place on the bow. At that moment, it felt itself to be an ordinary creature and was standing in front of a raging ocean with nothing in sight to help him defend or escape.

Even though killing a Void beast was equivalent to offending a Deva, Aakesh was willing to do it. He had already made the vow to exterminate Nielle and everything related to it, so it didn't matter who would become his enemy during the process.

Even if he died, so what. For someone rigid and egoistic like him, living in fear or forgiving your enemy was never an option.

Aakesh had such plans in his mind, but he couldn't help but get shocked the next moment. His jaw almost dropped to the ground, witnessing the scene in front of him. Even he, who was always in control of his emotions, couldn't control it.

The Void beast that had been shaking in fear seeing only the outline of the arrow, suddenly created a white flag, using its energy, and started waving it in front of Aakesh, showing its willingness to surrender.

"Strange creature, why to fight? Let's be civil and talk like strong people," The Void beast commented, forgetting its purpose of summon.

The Void beasts had promised to help the top-five organizations once, but that didn't mean they would die for it. They had a sacred duty to protect the Primal dimension, and no broken promise was worth more than that duty.

'Why did I become the first to accept the summon?' At the same time, the Void beast thought in its head. All the eleven Void beasts had almost equal strength, and even the weakest of them was way more powerful than any character of the Primal dimension, so any Void beast could accept the summon.

Aakesh stopped the summon of the Absolute arrow, seeing the complete surrender of the Void beast. Aakesh always thought that they were prideful creatures since they were the direct creation of a Deva, so the current situation was something out of his expectations.

The Void beast heaved a sigh of relief, seeing the strange creature taking back the arrow.

It then began reducing its size, and when it had reached the same height as Aakesh, it appeared in front of him.

"What was that arrow, strange creature?" The Void beast curiously asked.

"If you want to talk, you can come to my store," Aakesh expressionlessly responded. He then created the store card and handed it to the Void beast.

Aakesh had only the time before the sunrise left to complete his mission of exterminating the entirety of Nielle, so he couldn't waste his time in conversation, even if it was with a Void beast.

The Void beast took a cursory glance at the card and then left. Before leaving, it had sent a message to Geoffrey that his single help was still left, and today didn't count.
