Chapter 1123: Anger!
Time flew by, and hours passed in a flash.
Katrina and Autumn were forced out of the system after their stay of eighteen Panagaea hours was complete. Like every other customer from the Sacred Dimension, they started at level 100, with their levels locked until they completed the first quest.
Since there was no sense of permanent death or serious injury in Panagea, Katrina and Autumn chose to start their game at different places and not at the same spot.
Autumn had another reason to do that since she needed to serve Lily for 100 years after her bet loss. She also knew that Katrina and Lily didn't have a good relationship due to their personalities, so she couldn't let Katrina come with her and spoil her adventure inside Panagea.
Aakesh had to request the system let Autumn start at a place near Lily's territory, but even then, it would take months for Autumn to travel.
As for why there wasn't direct teleportation to Lily's territory, it wasn't free.
After they were forced out, the duo shared their adventures as they exited the portal room.
Katrina didn't leave the store but approached Aakesh, waking him up. She then asked for the chair, and she and Autumn continued their experience-sharing process.
Katrina also involved Aakesh and asked him for help at a few points.
Time flew by, and the day was about to be over. When there were only a few minutes left before the sunset, a door appeared out of nowhere in mid-air, and not long after, Lily stepped out of it.
Her mood didn't seem to look good when she came out. Katrina noticed it and was about to comment when Aakesh stopped her.
Katrina had no choice but to stop when she saw direct intervention from Aakesh. She scoffed and stopped looking at Lily.
Lily didn't even care about Katrina and directly jumped on Aakesh's head. She then curled up on his bun, with an aura of gloom all around her.
"What happened?" Since there was no new customer in sight, he asked.
Lily responded in a very soft voice, her tone filled with heartbreak.
Her tone was soft, but for Aakesh, the volume was as high as he needed. He couldn't help but frown when he heard what he said.
The cause of Lily's bad mood was a plague that suddenly occurred in her territory and killed several of her trusted subordinates.
A plague killing such high-level beings couldn't be natural, so it was definitely caused by someone.
"Is it the same party as the last time?" Aakesh asked.
Lily's psyche was strong since she belonged to a powerful race and had lived for so long, but in front of Aakesh, she would turn into a child, so her eyes turned moist while she nodded.
Aakesh felt a large wave of rage charge through every corner of his body when he sensed the moist eyes. Even Katrina and Autumn, sitting next to him, were taken aback by the sudden rush of killing intent.
Even though it wasn't aimed at them, and their cultivation was also undefeatable for Aakesh, they still felt their entire body shudder in fright as if the being sitting behind them was some prehistoric beast that understood nothing but brutality.
Lily also noticed the sudden fluctuation in Aakesh's mood, so she also calmed down. At the same time, the system also acted and restricted that aura to the limited area around Aakesh.
"What do you want to do?" Aakesh asked, his voice as cold as the deepest part of hell.
"I want to raze them to the ground and kill every last of them," Lily replied, revealing the brutality hidden in her bones.
Aakesh nodded since he had the same thing in mind. Lily was his bottom line. He didn't care how people acted, talked, or even what they did unless it had nothing to do with Lily.
Making Lily almost cry was the death penalty in Aakesh's eyes, and there was no coming back from it. Aakesh thought of leaving the palace in Panagea and rushing to Lily to end this menace as soon as possible.
"I want to do it with my own hands," Lily suddenly stated, aware of what was going through Aakesh's mind.
Lily knew Aakesh was currently at a place he found extremely interesting. There were only very few things that could make Aakesh feel such, so she didn't want him to leave that place and rush to her. She also wanted to avenge her subordinates and friends on her own.
She couldn't ask Aakesh for help whenever she found herself in trouble. She could never become a conqueror if she continued like this.
Lily didn't know how long she would be able to continue with that mindset, but she knew she had to start somewhere, and that moment was her initiation point.
Time flew by, and the sunset arrived on Thorr and its nearby cities. With it, the light was forced to hide, while a cover of darkness engulfed the sky.
It was also time for the store to close, so Aakesh stood up from his chair and informed the remaining customers in weapons, cultivation arts, and the beast's room to leave and come back tomorrow.
"Can I train with the ancestor?" Autumn asked Aakesh after only four of them were left in the store.
"No!" Aakesh replied bluntly since the training was only available for Aakesh and his pets. Allowing Katrina and Autumn to enter the selection area once was stretching his authority. The system didn't allow any more entries for them in the near future.
Autumn was disappointed to hear it from Aakesh since she wanted to help Lily against her enemy as one of her loyal soldiers.
Aakesh also knew what was going on in Autumn's head, but unfortunately, his current authority only allowed him to take a selected few in the selection area and the environments.
***
Aakesh closed the door, and only he and Lily were left in the store.
"Let's go!" Aakesh commented, and the next moment, a white light covered the two of them.
Lily didn't make any discontented face when she pushed the button, but a hint of determination was spread across her face.
Aakesh was also sucked inside by the space crack after he chose the training environment, not long after Lily.
