The First Store System

Chapter 325: Fear

"Store owner, can I select Hygars as my battle opponent in the training area," Trihan asked Aakesh.

He asked this as Hygars was known to be one of the few races that don't use any kind of weapon since their body is itself comparable to strong weapons.

"Yes, you can choose them," Aakesh expressionlessly answered.

Kuriati, standing next to his father, didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing him.

"Give me one supreme card first," Trihan ignored his son's reaction and instead requested to buy the card.

Aakesh nodded. Trihan then took out a supreme Primal stone from his pocket space and handed it over to Aakesh.

Aakesh took the stone, threw it in the black hole, and then pushed the supreme switch.

Soon, a silver card appeared in his hands. Aakesh had already seen it several times, so he right away handed it to Trihan and told him to drop a single drop of his blood in the tiny hole.

The Daitya race was known for its monstrous healing rate. Trihan, who had reached the peak of the Primal dimension, couldn't injure himself only to release a single drop of blood since healing any injury had become an automatic response of the body after reaching the peak of Immortality in the Primal dimension.

For situations like this not to occur, many beings like Trihan store a few drops of their blood.

Trihan took out one such drop of blood from his pocket space and put it into the tiny hole.

"Store owner, give me one hour of training for Immortal-grade weapon in the Gods & Demons level training area," Trihan requested after he had successfully bonded with the supreme card, and also transferred all his Primal stones into it.

Aakesh nodded in response to Trihan's request.

The next moment, a mechanical alert appeared inside Trihan's head and asked him whether he wanted to pay the Primal stones or not. After he thought of accepting, one trillion supreme Primal stones disappeared from the storage in the card. Soon after, Aakesh got an alert from the system that the payment had been made.

Aakesh then told Trihan about the process of entering the infinite space inside the training area.

"Thank you, store owner," Trihan thanked Aakesh and then went to the weapons room. But before leaving, he had a mental conversation with his son, Kuriati.

"Don't antagonize him!"

"Don't antagonize him!"

"Don't antagonize him!"

He repeated the same thing thrice. Kuriati repeatedly nodded, hearing his father, while thinking at the same time about how it is him, who is considered the smarter of the lot in his family.

Trihan also knew that his son was smarter than him. He could make impulsive and wrong decisions, but Kuriati will never do that. He still warned his son thrice as he didn't want to lose his favorite child over some silly mistake.

Trihan exclaimed in surprise, seeing the countless murals engraved on the wall.

At first glance, it looked as if there were limited murals, but when focused on the walls, Trihan found that it would take a while for him to even glance at all of them.

Trihan was a spear user, so he tried finding murals related to spears on the wall.

It didn't take long for him to find one. Fortunately for him, the mural he found belonged to a Daitya.

In the scene, a Daitya with a spear in his hand was facing an army of creatures coming at him. The creatures consisted of several races. A few of them were even unknown to Trihan.

The moment Trihan's eyes landed on the mural, he felt as if there was something that attracted him, but unfortunately for him, he could neither define what it was nor did he have an idea of how to take it.

Trihan didn't take his eyes off of it and attempted to grab even a little bit of whatever was attracting him.

Time flew by. One second passed, two seconds passed, three seconds passed,..., just like that, three minutes passed.

Finally, Trihan felt something as a piece of new information began appearing inside his head. Unfortunately for him, he couldn't comprehend it. He only knew there was brand new information inside his head. 

Several more minutes passed, and Trihan finally moved his eyes away after the influx of incomprehensible knowledge to his brain ended.

The piece of knowledge was incomprehensible, but Trihan still had an excited expression on his face.

For someone like him, who stood at the peak of the Primal dimension, any level of new knowledge was something to be excited of, especially here when he had gained a piece of knowledge that is incomprehensible to even him.

Trihan didn't worry about comprehending the knowledge as he knew his level was still not enough to understand it. It instead made him excited by just thinking of the high level of knowledge. 

Thinking like this, Trihan tried to look at other murals.

Several seconds later, he had carefully looked at tens of murals, but unfortunately for him, he didn't feel anything like what he had felt with the first mural. Trihan tried a few more murals, but the situation remained similar. He neither felt anything unusual nor did he gain any new knowledge.

For a moment, Trihan felt disappointed, but soon he returned to normal, as he understood even a single gain from these murals was incalculable.

Since Trihan couldn't gain anything from the murals anymore, he decided to finally go to his training area.

He found the pillar that marked the spear and took a step in that direction.

When he reached the pillar, Trihan noticed several humans covered in a transparent golden barrier. Since Kuriati and Aakesh had already told him about this, he didn't have to think for a reason.

Seeing the transparent golden barrier surrounding the beings, Trihan's curiosity got the better of him, and he suddenly wanted to poke the barrier to check its durability.

Trihan was someone who had a wild character and did whatever came to his mind, so he extended his finger gently in an attempt to poke the barrier.

His finger hadn't even reached half distance when suddenly his finger came to a sudden halt while his body began shuddering.

Everyone present in the weapon room was busy either checking the weapons or testing their strength at the center slab, so no one noticed a giant man covered in a cloak trembling in fear.
