Chapter 554: Journey to the End(10)

Aakesh didn’t move this time but waited for a moment as he wasn’t confident about his divine senses and the creature’s death.

The element of the darkness wasn’t destructive like thunder or fire. But its confusing ability was only less than the superior element of the illusion in all the elements born from the Multiverse.

Aakesh couldn’t be sure that the darkness hadn’t fudged his divine senses to make him believe that the creature was dead.

Aakesh’s wait didn’t come to naught, as not long after, the fluctuations returned, even stronger than before.

“ROAR!”

This time Aakesh even heard a roar.

Aakesh also noticed that the restrictions on his divine senses had disappeared. Now he could make out the appearance of the creature in front of him.

It was a dark-skinned octopus-like creature with hundreds of tentacles. It had the same height as Aakesh.

Aakesh recognized the race of the creature with its recognizable feature of having no face.

Aakesh’s face returned to his expressionless phase as the creature was no threat to him.

Aakesh took a step forward. At the same time, a dark ball the size of a tennis ball had appeared on his right palm.

“BOOM!”

The next moment, a loud explosion rang in the area as Aakesh pushed the Apocalyptic Blast right into the faceless head of the octopus-like creature.

“Scree-”

The creature couldn’t help but scream in pain as the Apocalyptic Blast vaporized the octopus-like being before it could even complete the cry of pain.

Aakesh still didn’t move as the creature’s silhouette appeared once more, but before it could materialize, it disappeared. The figure didn’t forget to cry out in pain.

The octopus-like creature had an ability. It could revive as many times as it had tentacles.

If someone were to look at the silhouette forming, they would notice that the number of tentacles was disappearing by one after every revival.

“Scree-”

“Scree-”

“Scree-”

Time flew by.

The octopus-like creature had one hundred and seventeen tentacles in total; it could revive that many times.

After every revival, the strength of the creature would see an increase. But still, due to the Apocalyptic Blast, the being couldn’t even form its body before the elements of death, destruction, and nihility mixed in the skill vaporized it again.

The process continued, and a half scream continued echoing in the area. It finally came to a stop as the octopus-like creature lost its last tentacle. The heart rending cry and the vaporization of the silhouette never appeared again after that.

Since the creature had died, Aakesh had no point in wasting any further time here. He then took a step forward and proceeded toward the end of the ninety-ninth step.

“Hey, system, how long has it been since I have been in this section?” As Aakesh proceeded, he asked the system. Since he had entered this area, Aakesh had lost any flow of time.

Even though earlier there was nothing but darkness in the sky, Aakesh could still see things, but now he depended completely on his divine and other senses to find out everything.

Since Aakesh had entered the portal, the system would inform him if a day had passed, but he had felt that he had been traveling in the darkness for days, so it was another reason for him asking it.

[Host, thirteen minutes had passed since you appeared here!]

“Eh!” Aakesh couldn’t help but exclaim after hearing the system’s response. Only thirteen minutes had passed, it wasn’t even half of an hour, and here he thought he had been here for days.

It had been thirteen minutes since Aakesh had appeared here, and he had covered a distance of only a few km, which wasn’t any good considering his strength.

Aakesh still had more than twenty-four hundred km left in his journey to the end of the ninety-ninth step, so Aakesh, without wasting any more time, hurried his speed.

Time flew by.

[Host, another day has gone by!]

The system’s alert about the end of a day rang in Aakesh’s head.

It had been six days since Aakesh had entered the section filled with black-colored light dots.

In those six days, Aakesh had faced several challenges, making it his lengthiest stay in a section of the four. Before that, it had taken Aakesh four days to end his journey in the ice section.

Aakesh was still around a hundred km away from the end of the ninety-ninth step, and in Aakesh’s consideration, it would take him another day to cover that distance.

Even though there was still a hundred km left, Aakesh had already come across dangers exceeding the level of what Aakesh had faced in the thunderstorm six days earlier.

“BOOM!”

“BOOM!”

“BOOM!”

Continuous sounds of explosion rang in the area as Aakesh continuously threw Apocalyptic Blasts toward the army in front of him.

The army in front of Aakesh consisted of several darkness-related creatures, and Aakesh could count the number to be up to a billion. And there were still the restrictions on his divine sense left, which didn’t allow it to go very far.

Aakesh could sense that at least ten figures in the army controlled the same amount of power as him, while Aakesh’s intuition also told him that the worst of the battle was yet to come. Aakesh trusted his intuition, so instead of enjoying battles with creatures who could challenge him, Aakesh continuously used the Apocalyptic Blast to end their lives before the actual challenge arrived.

Time flew by.

Aakesh’s intuition didn’t prove him wrong as the worst finally arrived in the form of a Dragon.

It was a young Dragon, but still, the amount of power it carried was nothing to be underestimated.

After the arrival of the young Dragon, Aakesh faced his toughest battle since he had entered the world.

In the end, Aakesh reigned supreme, but still, the battle was no joke.

The young Dragon survived the attack of the Apocalyptic Blast, becoming the first creature since Aakesh had gotten the skill.

Even though the battle was tough, Aakesh would lie if he said it wasn’t exciting. Without using the system’s help or the feature of revival in the virtual training area, Aakesh finally killed a creature that reigned supreme in the third dimension.

After the battle with the young Dragon, everything seemed easy to Aakesh as he crossed the distance of hundred meters in only a few hours. Aakesh’s assumption was off the estimates for the second time on the ninety-ninth step, but this time he reached several hours earlier than anticipated, which was a good deal for him.

After reaching the edge, the darkness that had covered Aakesh’s sight for more than six days finally disappeared, and light returned to Aakesh’s eyes.

Aakesh then took another step forward to receive the reward for clearing the test and also continue his journey to the end of the stairs since Aakesh was only a few years away from his goal of reaching the ruler’s territory.

Time flew by.

It has been forty-nine years since Aakesh entered the world created by the ruler.

Aakesh had exited the garden after receiving his reward for clearing the one hundred and seventh step.

A surprised expression appeared on Aakesh’s face as for the first time, he found no stair in front of him.

‘Is this the end?’ Aakesh couldn’t help but think. He then took a step forward.
