The First Store System

Chapter 487



Chapter 487: The Mystery of the Portal and the World(5)

“Hey, system, where is Aakesh right now?” Lily asked the system about Aakesh’s whereabouts after finishing her dinner.

Lily talked to the system in her mind as she didn’t want to make Autumn aware of the system. Autumn only knew that there was a higher power with Lily.

[Host is currently in battle!]

The system answered in its usual mechanical and emotionless voice.

“What’s the feature of Aakesh’s opponents?” Lily asked another question.

[The creature belongs to the Mephostan race and…]

The next moment, the system told Lily the appearance of the creature Aakesh was battling.

“Autumn, do you recognize a creature like this?” Lily asked Autumn as she shared everything the system just informed her.

After hearing the details of the appearance, Autumn recognized the creature as Mephostan.

“I have seen three Mephostans. Is the Mephostan you described some servant of the central ruler?” Autumn answered Lily and then asked a question as her mind went to the servant Mephostan first since he was the most powerful of three Mephostans she knew.

“Hey, system?” Lily referred the question to the system as only it knew the answer.

[Yes, the Mephostan Host is in battle with is a servant of the central ruler Host had been searching for.]

Lily’s eyes started shining, and her face got filled with excitement after hearing the system’s answer.

“Yes, the Mephostan is the servant,” Lily excitedly told Autumn.

Autumn didn’t feel any surprise seeing Lily falling silent and then answering since she believed a higher power to be behind her origin. From what Autumn learned from Lily, the Epochal Felines had already gone extinct. And Lily was the first Epochal Feline to take birth after several Epochs, and that too with 100% pure bloodline, so there had to be a higher power behind her.

“Do you know where the creature is located?” Lily’s tone turned nervous as she asked another question even before Autumn could respond.

“Yes, ancestor, I know the central ruler and the location of the territory,” Autumn responded, making Lily jump in excitement. Even though Autumn called Lily her ancestor, in reality, Autumn was way older than Lily.

“Take me there,” Lily told Autumn since Lily couldn’t wait to meet Aakesh. It had been decades since Lily last saw Aakesh, and she wanted nothing more than to sit in her favorite place, Aakesh’s head, at this moment.

Autumn smiled, seeing Lily in such jubilation for the first time. At the same time, an unprecedented curiosity also rose in her heart to meet Aakesh and find out just who he was.

The next moment, Autumn expanded herself and only stopped when her body size had reached tens of millions of miles. Lily couldn’t even be found or seen in the presence of Autumn.

“Ancestor, climb up. It would take some time for us to reach our destination,” The next moment, a voice rang in the area directed at Lily.

Lily did as spoken by Autumn and climbed up Autumn’s body, using her tail. There was no comparison between the body size of both the creatures, as Lily couldn’t even be seen climbing.

The next moment, Autumn disappeared from the spot.

The central ruler had no restrictions on them when they were inside their territory or their tributary’s domain, so Autumn teleported to the edge of her domain in only one space jump.

“Ugh,” Lenna groaned in pain as she healed her injuries.

After entering the portal, Lenna had teleported alone to an unfamiliar area, making her deal with Aakesh for his help useless.

“How much more time do you need?” A voice came from Lenna’s behind.

“A day more,” Lenna turned her head around and told the owner of the voice.

The voice’s owner was Randolf, the newly coronated Emperor of the Xandar Empire.

Randolf had entered an hour earlier than Lenna, so when he met her, more than a century had already passed.Â

Since Randolf didn’t know about the time difference between the actual world and here, he had already accepted the doom of his Empire. Having believed that his Empire had gotten destroyed, he cried like a baby for more than a decade, standing in the same place all the while.

After coming up with the fact, he began his journey again with a newfound determination to create an even stronger Xandar Empire. So when Randolf met Lenna, he joined parties with her. He had two reasons loneliness here felt like cruel mental torture to him, and the second, he wanted to make connections with the Elves.

Since Randolf believed the Empire to be gone, he decided to have relations with Lenna to make his grouping stronger with the Elves and not depend on incestuous relations to sustain like the previous Empire. But Lenna refused Randolf’s advances and showed no interest in him.

Despite the rejection, Randolf still maintained civility with Lenna, and they were now good friends after traveling for years.

“You don’t need to hurry if your injuries are serious,” Randolf told Lenna since he didn’t want to move in a hurry. Anything can happen in these areas. Even he, a peak Immortal, wasn’t secure, so how could she, who had just become an Immortal, can be safe.

“DIE,” Oxen yelled as he punched.

The next moment, the opponent’s head burst like a watermelon as blood and brain matter flew across the area.

“This is taking a toll on me,” Oxen muttered as, during the past few centuries he had spent here, he had been doing nothing but killing to survive.

Not a single day had passed during these years that he didn’t have to kill.

For creatures like Oxen, who spent their time in peace, the continuous killing started affecting his psyche.

Despite feeling mentally tired, Oxen took a step forward and left for a new area where he would have to kill again, and he still did this because he had a goal, and no mental peace or killing could stand in front of it.

***

“Let’s hope I don’t have to use that,” Oregon muttered as his voice contained tiredness while he lay in a blood pool of the thousands of creatures he killed.

***

“One more territory to go,” Aakesh muttered and took a step forward, disappearing from the current domain and entering into a new one. Clara silently followed him, with a few burn marks still visible on her body.
