The First Store System

The Epochal Feline’s eyes turned blood-like red as a chaotic aura filled with many negative emotions engulfed it. Soon its body started expanding, resulting in the Rapier getting stuck.

Aakesh had an expressionless eye as he looked at the creature activating its berserk mode. Instead of backing away, he pushed the Rapier even further, resulting in the eyes turning redder. At the same time, the chaotic aura around the creature started materializing into a cloud.

Aakesh continued pushing the Rapier, only to stop when Rapier’s handle touched the white fur that had now gotten red with its blood. Aakesh suddenly pulled it back in a straight motion, resulting in a blood bath.

“Roar!”

The creature let out a roar filled with anger and indignance, as it had never seen such humiliation, but at the same time, it also felt fear. It could sense that Aakesh hadn’t used much of his strength at this point. It knew it couldn’t win, so it decided to go in a blaze of glory.

Suddenly, the creature’s expanding speed grew at an unimaginable rate. In no time, it had reached almost a hundred times the size of Aakesh.

Aakesh knew the creature wanted to self-destruct, but how could Aakesh let it do that?

He added slight force to his legs and took a jump, with the Rapier moving like a snake with the movement of the air.

Aakesh thrust the Rapier forward. It went ahead without any obstruction as if its opponent was a piece of butter but not the skin of a horrifyingly powerful creature.

“ROAR!”

The creature let out a helpless roar filled with indignance as the Rapier destroyed its inner organs in that strike, resulting in a failed death.

“THUD!”

A loud crashing sound rang in the area as the corpse crashed to the ground, while not long after, Aakesh also comfortably landed on the top of the creature.

Soon a blue light engulfed the entirety of the battle area, with Aakesh standing on top of it.

The next moment, everything froze in its place as the similar blue window appeared once again.

Aakesh tapped on the second level without wasting any time.

The next moment, Aakesh landed on the ground as the light beneath him disappeared, and soon, his opponent for this level appeared not far from him.

Since the opponent of all the levels would be the same, a similar Epochal Feline appeared. Compared to the previous one, this one looked similar in size and powerlevel, but Aakesh could sense the level of danger toward him had increased, meaning the creature was more powerful than the Level 1 version of it.

“Ding!”

Not long after, the bell rang in the area, announcing the start of the battle.

Aakesh decided to make the first move this time. So as soon as the sound of the bell faded, Aakesh was already in front of the creature with the Rapier just an inch away from piercing its heart.

Aakesh wanted to end this round quickly, so he had used half of his strength in the thrust.

Forget the sharpness of the Rapier, the violent air released by Aakesh’s thrust felt even more dangerous than it.

When the Rapier finally pierced the Epochal Feline’s heart, it exploded into a blood cloud before the creature could even feel the pain of the thrust, resulting in instant death for the creature.

The battle ended as quickly as it began. The opponent didn’t even get the time to respond before it was dead. Soon a similar blue light engulfed the entirety of the area.

One second passed, two seconds passed, three seconds passed, and just like that, seventeen minutes had passed.

“Puchi!”

“Puchi!”

“Puchi!”

Projections of several Rapiers appeared as they pierced through the skin of the Epochal Feline. In no time, there was no untouched body part left on the creature’s skin.

Soon a blood pool emerged as the Epochal Feline lost all its blood in the round.

“Thud!”

The Epochal Feline crashed to the ground as its body turned pale, and soon its eyes lost their luster due to the draining of all its blood.

The next moment, a blue light engulfed the battle area. Soon a green light appeared around Aakesh and healed him of all the injuries he had received in this round of battle.

After Aakesh got healed of all his inner and external injuries, the scene around him froze once again as a similar blue window appeared once again.

[… Level 1: Tap to enter,

… Level 15: Tap to repeat,

Level 16: Tap to enter,]

Aakesh then tapped on the Level 16 since he wanted to see how far he could go with the Rapier without dying even once.

The next moment, the blue screen disappeared, and soon after it, the light around the area also vanished.

“ROAR!”

An angry roar sounded in the area as the Epochal Feline appeared on the battleground. Compared to the previous level, the Feline was larger in size.

“Ding!”

“Clang!”

“Clang!”

“Clang!”

The sound of continuous metallic clashes rang in the area as Aakesh and the creature clashed with each other soon after the bell sound faded, giving no time to each other to take the initiative.

Time flew by.

The blue blood continuously dripped down from Aakesh’s chest as a severe injury lay there. Even Aakesh’s bones could be seen.

Comparing Aakesh’s injury with the creature battling him was doing injustice to the Feline since it had half its face gone, while there was not a single body part left untouched from a wound.

Aakesh had a cold expression in his eyes as he pushed the Rapier forward. The Rapier went from half its head to heart in no time as if it was cutting through butter, bursting its brain and heart at the same time.

“THUD!”

The creature crashed to the ground, making a loud sound.

Time flew by.

Except for the day when he had the sword, Aakesh had failed to clear the seventeenth round.

Similar was the case for today as in the seventeenth round, the battle went on for several minutes, but most of the time, the Epochal Feline was in the lead since its agility surpassed Aakesh’s. So in the end, Aakesh became a casualty in place of the Epochal Feline, continuing his streak of losing the seventeenth round.
