The First Store System

Chapter 553: Journey to the End(9)

After the Counter Shield had an addition of another layer, the razing thunderstorm became just like any other attack, and Aakesh casually took a step forward.

The next moment, Aakesh raised his right foot and stepped into the next section.

The next moment, the view in front of Aakesh changed as darkness completely engulfed him.

The last section was the most dangerous of the four as the element it contained wasn’t a primary element like fire, water, or thunder, but it was a superior element of the darkness.

Aakesh couldn’t look at even his finger; such was the darkness around him.

Aakesh, following his intuition, took a step forward as he had already expected a scene like this to welcome him when he had looked at the black-colored light dots.

Aakesh had only taken a pseudo step(His other foot was in the air) when Aakesh suddenly sensed a danger to his left.

Without thinking anything, Aakesh bent down. Only when the sense of danger disappeared did he stand up.

The darkness had not only taken his sight, but it had also taken his other senses.

If only for the element of the darkness, Aakesh would’ve forcefully gained his senses back, but there was also a restriction added on him, so Aakesh had no choice but to continue only on his intuitions.

After the sense of danger vanished, Aakesh stood up and completed his first step.

As soon as the foot landed on the ground, it suddenly started shaking.

Aakesh had no idea what was happening as he couldn’t use any of his senses, but he stayed still as he could feel that something terrible was going to happen.

Aakesh’s intuition was correct. If light were to return to where Aakesh stood, he would have seen countless strange creatures with nothing but mouths baring their fangs toward Aakesh. Some even drooled, but since Aakesh couldn’t also hear, he didn’t hear the sound of the drool falling on the ground.

What was strange was that there was no killing intent released from them, even though the way they bared their fangs showed their intention. If even a hint would’ve leaked, Aakesh’s intuition would’ve warned him, and he would’ve found their place.

The shaking of the ground finally came to a stop. The next moment, Aakesh felt his legs stretching in the opposite directions.

Without waiting, Aakesh took a jump in the direction in which he felt most confident. At the same time, a twenty-five layered Counter Shield covered him.

As soon as Aakesh took a jump, the mouths in the air pounced at Aakesh.

Even though there were countless of those mouths, it did not affect the Counter Shield at all. Even if Aakesh were to deactivate the shield around him, the mouths wouldn’t be able to bypass the defense of the dhoti, let alone Aakesh’s already powerful physique. But since Aakesh had his senses taken away from him due to the restrictions, Aakesh had covered himself with the Counter Shield.

Aakesh couldn’t even use the Energy Overseer to look around him as it could only sense energy. And no matter in what direction and distance he looked, his sight contained nothing but countless clusters of black-colored light dots.

As the mouths attempted to gnaw the shield around Aakesh, Aakesh let it freely counter any attack coming his way.

As soon as a mouth would gnaw on the shield, it would melt straight away with a heart rending scream, but Aakesh wouldn’t hear a thing.

Aakesh continued his steps forward since there was no point in waiting here, and he didn’t even know what had happened to the landscape due to the sudden earthquake.

Aakesh carefully took steps forward. There were no restrictions on him in terms of steps, but since there were still restrictions limiting his speed, Aakesh could cover a distance of more than fifty meters in a single stance.

But since Aakesh didn’t know about the change in landscape, Aakesh cautiously took steps. Some steps would be of less than a meter, while some would be of several meters.

Aakesh was correct in doing that, as there were cracks with endless depth all over him. One wrong step and Aakesh would fall.

Time flew by.

The mouths continued attempting to gnaw the shield surrounding Aakesh despite their fellow members melting right after it as if it was the only thing they existed to do.

Every time the shield would counter, Aakesh would feel it. It was the only notion for Aakesh that proved that the time was flowing, and he wasn’t alone here.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Aakesh finally felt a slight relaxation in his senses. Aakesh didn’t wait and forcefully broke the control of the element of the darkness on him.

Even though there was still darkness all around Aakesh, he could now clearly see using his divine sense, and his other senses had also returned.

Aakesh’s face remained expressionless, and Aakesh continued forward without waiting for even a moment.

Aakesh had only taken a few steps(covered a distance of 200 meters) when Aakesh sensed a powerful fluctuation only a meter away from him.

Aakesh couldn’t help but frown as when his senses had returned, he was unable to sense the creature, and now that he was a meter away from the creature, the powerful fluctuations appeared.

Even now that he could sense that there was a creature, his divine senses failed to present him with its appearance.

Aakesh’s thoughts came to a sudden halt as the creature in front of Aakesh made its move.

In the darkness, a dark beam left the tip of its finger and attacked Aakesh.

Aakesh had the Counter Shield active since he had appeared in this section and had no plans to deactivate it, so the beam clashed with the shield, resulting in the Counter Shield releasing a counter attack.

“BOOM!”

The next moment, a loud explosion rang in the area as the counter released by the Counter Shield clashed with the creature.

The sound didn’t stay for long as the darkness devoured it, but the powerful fluctuation in front of Aakesh disappeared.

The frown, instead of disappearing, deepened on Aakesh’s face as the counter released by the Counter Shield wasn’t potent enough to kill the creature from what Aakesh sensed from the fluctuations released by it.
