1262 A New Day for the Store(9)
Chapter 1262: A New Day for the Store(9)
Aapan found himself in a forest surrounded by an ethereal mist. Aapan could feel the richness of wind and sound element particles in the area since he was a wind user.
The air in the forest was filled with the sweet scent of flowers and the gentle sound of rustling leaves. As the sunlight filtered through the dense cover of trees, an enchanting glow appeared around the forest.
“Twee-lee-lee.” “Twee-lee-lee.” “Twee-lee-lee.”
Aapan suddenly felt his hair rise as the familiar heavenly voice rang in his ears. His eyes turned moist, and he turned in the direction of the sound.
He saw the bird sitting on one of the branches with its alluring sapphire eyes staring at him.
Aapan felt himself returning to the old days and he wanted to hug the bird. The bird was confused by the reaction shown by its opponent.
In every taming battle, the beast was aware of what was at stake if it lost, so it would fight with its full strength, not to lose its freedom, barring some cases where the opponent was too strong or there were some familiar feelings.
The Melodious Nightingale was confident that there was no familiar sensation coming from the man.
Ding!
The next moment, the bell, which had no direction of origin, rang, announcing the start of the battle.
The bird had no thoughts of losing the battle or surrendering, despite the emotional reaction of the opponent.
“Screech!”
The next moment, it activated [Disoriented Echo], releasing a piercing sound.
Aapan suddenly froze and clutched his head. The skill seemed to have worked for him more than the beast.
Aapan returned to reality and understood that if he wanted to recreate the rise of the Melodious Nightingale, losing here was not an option.
The disorienting effect of the skill didn’t work on Aapan, as his mental defenses were extremely tough to break. Aapan then took a step forward, and the next moment, he was in front of the bird in the air.
Aapan slashed through the wind, and the next moment, the air itself seemed to follow his command, and it threatened to cut the bird in half.
Cry!
The bird immediately released [Grating Fury], causing invisible sound and air blades to form and attack Aapan.
Aapan seemed to act nonchalant, and he swept his hand. The next moment, all the blades disintegrated.
The Melodious Nightingale never expected Aapan to become such a terrible opponent in the span of a second.
Aapan was now focused on his motive, so he immediately attacked. The wind around him and the bird turned crazy, and it started to attack the beast.
The bird was itself a controller of the element of wind, but it seemed to make no difference in front of Aapan.
Aapan was a talented figure who had risen from obscurity to become the founder of an organization. He was also several million years old, making him incredibly experienced when it came to battle.
Aapan kept attacking, and the bird kept defending. It found its attack to be of no use at all as Aapan nonchalantly defended them.
The bird was left with no choice but to activate [Harmonic Transcendence]. It not only boosted its allies but also itself.
The only issue was that it was an excessively energy-consuming ability. As the beast activated it, an ethereal glow suddenly appeared around it, while a melody seemed to have emerged from nowhere.
The bird then opened its mouth, and the melody became even more intense. As it rang in Aapan’s ears, he found his eyelids turning heavy.
Aapan was extremely worried at that time. It wasn’t due to the skill taking a toll on him.
But what made him worry was that he wanted to listen to the melody and enjoy it.
Aapan knew what to do and what not to do, so with a helpless sigh, he attacked.
Aapan hadn’t used any of his powerful skills at that point, but he had to since the bird was at its peak and could no longer be beaten by ordinary skills.
The next moment, a beautiful scene played out in the area as Aapan summoned a tempest. The tempest was swift and was spinning gracefully. It looked like a dance of a beautiful elemental creature.
The bird released [Thunderous Tempest] in response to the attack since it could feel danger.
The next moment, a rough whirlwind appeared, which was in complete contrast to what Aapan had activated.
Rumble!
The next moment, the two attacks clashed, creating a loud rumbling sound. At first, the bird’s skill seemed to win since it had a continuous damage effect, but as time passed, the gracefully spinning storm seemed to grow stronger while the bird’s attack was losing its momentum.
The Melodious Nightingale released several skills after that, but the result was the same.
The storm released by Aapan was slowly feeding onto the air element of the bird’s attack and enhancing its destructive capability.

The outcome went as Aapan had expected. The bird failed to put up any fight against the storm and was ripped apart.
Aapan felt someone tearing through his heart with a knife when he witnessed the scene, but he didn’t stop the skill. Soon, the battle was over, with Aapan becoming the victor.
The next moment, Aapan’s consciousness returned to the store, and a smile formed on his face after a long time.
The smile suddenly froze as a wave of unbearable pain hit him. It disappeared as quickly as it had appeared, but it took Aapan’s attention away.
Aapan looked at his hand in the compartment since the pain originated there. He then pulled it out, looked at his palm, and found the tiny pricking injury healing.
The situation didn’t last for long as the screen on the device lit up and took his attention away. It contained the contract.
Except for the payment, all the steps were complete, and the price wasn’t something Aapan couldn’t bear, being the leader of a Merchant organization working over several universes.
