1126 The Palace(3)
Chapter 1126: The Palace(3)
The next moment, Aakesh found himself in a room made for giants.
The room was enormous, to say the least. Aakesh stood at the entrance of the room and despite his strength and physique, he wasn’t able to see the end of the room.
There was no gate, but an open curved entry point. Aakesh was like an ant in front of it.
Aakesh raised his right foot and stepped inside the room. A similar feeling of passing through a wet membrane appeared after his foot landed on the floor, made of Kashamba, the wood used in the flooring of the store in the Primal Dimension.
Aakesh looked up and saw a roof, tens of thousands of meters up. From entering the room, Aakesh became certain that this room was one of the rooms that Sudas never entered.

The room in which Aakesh was, was gigantic, but it was not even enough to let Sudas’ toe enter.
There were gigantic spherical pillars supporting the room. From what Aakesh could see, they were installed at a regular distance of one hundred miles, while one square pillar had a surface area of one sq. Miles.
The pillars weren’t plain but had murals painted on them, and it was in the same font as what Aakesh used to enter the palace.
Aakesh didn’t show much interest in the murals since they detailed the military accomplishments of the female warrior the room belonged to. From what Aakesh could make out, the room belonged to the granddaughter of Sudas since in the war, his granddaughter was the only female warrior in the direct family.
This time there were no tests or pressures attacking him, and it didn’t take long for Aakesh to cross half the distance.
Aakesh showed no interest in the room, but when he saw the eleven hundredth pillar, he couldn’t help but stop.
Unlike other square pillars in the room, it was painted dark gold, and the murals on it were more detailed as Sudas was present in the mural.
The mural depicted a handsome, gigantic man gently looking at the newborn in his hands, and the baby was laughing. At the forehead of the baby, there was a hexagonal crystal glowing.
Even in the mural, the crystal seemed to exist in reality and glow. Aakesh had no choice but to move his eyes away from the crystal as his eyes began to pain from looking at it for not even a moment.
Aakesh understood it was the item he was looking for. Even though Aakesh didn’t look at it for long, he found a small compartment on top of the crystal.
From the shape of the compartment, Aakesh understood what was needed to go to the next step.
Aakesh took an item out of his space ring. It was a square stone, cut clean around all its corners. It was an item Aakesh found while digging for the item.
The stone was made of valuable material, so Aakesh knew it was an important item. He now knew what it was needed for.
Even though Aakesh had the item, it wasn’t any easy. The hexagonal crystal was around one hundred miles up, and to place the square rock, he would need to be adjacent to the crystal. At the same time, the square stone was trying to run from his hands.
Aakesh needed to accustom himself to the crystal, so he began slowly climbing up the pillar. He had the wing to directly take the flight to the crystal, but his intuition warned him against it as if something terrible would happen if he went ahead with it.
Fortunately for Aakesh, there was no pressure from the crystal, so climbing wasn’t that hard. But when he was only ten miles away from the crystal, the square rock in his hands turned hot, and its force also grew exponentially. It was as if it were a living creature and didn’t want to meet the crystal.
Also, the stinging sensation from the crystal was growing. Even if Aakesh closed his eyes, the pain continued. But as Aakesh’s body slowly grew accustomed to the stinging, he slowly climbed upward.
After around an hour of struggle, Aakesh finally reached the crystal. At that time, it took everything from Aakesh just to keep it on his hold. His hand seemed to be mutilated as the rock was slowly grinding away at his finger bones.
Pushing forward with all his strength, Aakesh left the square rock when his hands touched the crystal. It was as if the rock had gained a new lease on life; it attempted to run away. But before it could, a wave of attraction force emerged from the crystal, and the rock was embedded into the compartment, forming the crystal.
Aakesh’s hands were also healing as the muscle was regenerating. It didn’t take long for his hands to be injury free.
As the crystal was complete, the mural materialized into reality and glowed in a blinding light. Before Aakesh could even think, the light engulfed him.
The light disappeared as quickly as it had appeared, and with it, Aakesh also vanished from the room. At the same time, the dark gold pillar had turned plain with no murals.

After the sudden materialization of the hexagonal crystal, Aakesh found himself in a different environment. A moment ago, he was in an enormous room, but after the sudden situation, he found himself in a beautiful garden with a stunning cover of flowers all around him.
There was a pleasant fragrance in the air. It made even Aakesh feel good. Aakesh recognized the smell and couldn’t help but nod his head in appreciation.
The owner flower of the fragrance was one of the many valuable resources that had gone extinct due to the war waged by Vritrasura. It didn’t take long for Aakesh to find the flower in the middle of the flower’s ocean.
