“Do you think you have a choice here? If you tell me what I ask, your actual body will survive, and if you don’t, then you can say goodbye to life,” Aakesh coldly told the creature, hearing its attempt to ask for surety.
The creature was taken aback by the conviction of the store owner. It didn’t expect him to give up knowing the purpose.
“You can kill me then! I would rather get killed than betrayed at the end!” The creature responded after staying silent for some time. How could it give up its life so easily without getting any confidence?
Aakesh, hearing the beast, didn’t respond anything but aimed his bow at the creature and was only going to release the bowstring when he heard the creature’s plea.
The creature was only testing its waters, but when it saw Aakesh, without even attempting to coerce him, going into the shooting mode, it decided to stop it if it wanted to survive.
“Don’t kill me! I would tell you what you want to know,” The creature requested Aakesh. It had no further interest in testing water and seeing the store owner’s limits.
Aakesh put his bow down, but the last Absolute arrow was still nocked to it. If the creature attempted anything weird, Aakesh would take a shot and end its life.
The creature heaved a sigh of relief, seeing the actions of Aakesh. It then sat down in a comfortable pose and looked at Aakesh, and gestured to him to ask the questions.
“What was your purpose behind intruding into my store, and why did you attempt to forcefully enter when the doors of the store were open for everyone?” Aakesh asked the two questions he wanted to know the answer to the most.
“Let me answer your second question first,” The creature commented. Aakesh stayed expressionlessly still as he waited for the creature to answer both the questions.
“Your store has something that my organization desperately needs, and so it established a mission, while the reward was the divine Kingdom of a very strong being. It also gave a tip to the mission taker when taking the quest, and it was not to step inside the store by the door but forcefully enter after breaking the restrictions. As for why it did so, I have no idea,” answered the creature.
Aakesh couldn’t help but frown, hearing the answer from the creature since it was no better than no information.
“I am telling the truth. I really don’t know,” The creature commented, seeing the frown deepening on the store owner’s face. “I believe it asked of me to do such thing because breaking forcefully through the restrictions around the store is the easiest way to fight your backer,” The creature further added and told Aakesh what it thought to be the reason for the tip.
“Hey, system, why was the tip such?” Aakesh asked the system in his head.
When he asked, he had no expectations of getting an answer and thought that the system would reject, citing low authority, but things happened beyond Aakesh’s thinking.
[Host, breaking through the restriction is the easiest way to infiltrate the store! If someone succeeded in doing that, the system would subconsciously use its complete concentration to repair the arrays, making the store free of any system’s interference for three seconds.]
The system told Aakesh in its usual mechanical and emotionless voice.
Aakesh couldn’t help but get stunned, hearing what the system told him. Fortunately for him, no one in the Primal dimension was strong enough to break the restrictions around the store, or he would’ve died by the assault of peak Immortals since three seconds were more than enough for them to kill him several times without the system’s help.

“How can you let such a big bug exist in the first place?” Aakesh asked the system since it could prove disastrous for him in the higher dimensions, where there would be no lack of powerful creatures.
[Host, the bug is inbuilt and couldn’t be removed.]
[Host, you don’t need to worry about your safety in the store. There are only a very few figures who could break the restrictions.]
The system answered, and since it could sense what was going on in Aakesh’s mind, it told him not to worry.
Seeing Aakesh standing silently, the creature didn’t dare to speak a word. For a moment, it thought of using this moment and killing the store owner, but it couldn’t. Its leg didn’t move at all due to fear of the arrow still nocked on the bow.
“What was the aim of your quest?” Aakesh then expressionlessly asked the creature.
The creature didn’t wait and opened its mouth to speak when suddenly it felt alarm bells ringing off in its head, warning it not to utter a word and reveal the purpose.
The creature fell into a dilemma since if it stayed silent about the goal, the store owner would kill it, and if it answered, this sudden pressure would kill it.
Aakesh, on the other hand, had a grave expression on his face. He had also noticed the sudden arrival of an invisible pressure on the creature. Even though the creature was on the receiving end, the killing intent in that pressure still sent chills down his spine.
Aakesh didn’t care what happened with the creature, so he aimed his bow toward it and coldly asked it to answer rather than stay silent.
A sense of extreme irritation rose in the creature’s heart. The aim of the bow was the last straw that somehow broke the fear of death in the creature’s mind. Its eyes turned redder, and it began bloating up. It wanted to stop itself from losing sanity, but its attempts failed.
The sudden situation sent death warnings to Aakesh. Without waiting for even a moment and forgetting about knowing the purpose of the mission, he released the bowstring.
As soon as the arrow got released, it appeared in front of the creature and pierced its heart.
The creature gained its sanity back at the moment of the release of the arrow, but unfortunately for it, it came too late.
It was an Absolute arrow with the sole purpose of killing the enemy, so the creature instantly died as the result of piercing. Then its body automatically disintegrated and scattered like sand in the area.
