Chapter 508: The Countdown(4)
After Aakesh’s training session with Katrina came to an end, he had nothing more left to do for the day.
The next moment, Aakesh’s chair appeared in the area since the system didn’t want Aakesh to let go of his comfortable situation.
“Hey, system, how much more time do you think it would take before Lily ended her breakthrough and woke up?” Aakesh asked the system. He had been asking this question to the system every day since the day Lily fell asleep.
[Around one century, Host!]
The next moment, the system’s response rang in Aakesh’s head, telling him the same answer it had told him for the past few decades.
In the past sixty years, Aakesh had also learned a few skills from Katrina and Autumn.
The system didn’t allow Aakesh to learn any skill on his own, but only from the system. It had put no restrictions on him when Aakesh learned the skill from others after gaining knowledge from them.
Even if Aakesh didn’t gain anything substantial from what was to come next, he still had gained a lot from Autumn and Katrina. Before coming here, he only had one offensive & defensive skill to call on his name. But now, he had several skills belonging to different categories that he could use unlimitedly.
Seconds turned into a minute, minutes turned into an hour, hours turned into a day, days turned into a week, weeks turned into a month, months turned into a year, years turned into a decade, decades turned into a century, and just like that, one hundred six years had passed.
“I give up!” Autumn commented after losing the practice battle. She had her strength currently increased by four levels, and still, Aakesh succeeded in defeating her.
Aakesh moved his punch away from her face since Autumn had given up. There was no point in hitting her after that unless he angered her and forced her to attack him.
“Your growth rate had exploded outrageously in the last twenty years,” Katrina, who was sitting a few hundred meters away from the battle arena, complimented Aakesh.
A century ago, Aakesh couldn’t survive a single full-powered attack when Autumn raised her strength by three levels. But now, he could defeat her without any severe injury even though the rate of increase was one level higher.
Katrina wasn’t wrong, as around twenty years ago, he was still fighting Autumn to a draw when she had raised her strength by three levels, whereas Katrina proved to be unwinnable at the same rate of increase.
At that moment, Aakesh’s strength had already breached the 2 billion Primal units mark, making him strong enough to even compete against an awakened Void beast, but in just the last twenty years, he had grown several times more than what he grew in a century before that.
“Hey, system, bring me the testing slab,” Aakesh asked the system since he would check his strength in Primal units after the end of every practice battle. It had become his daily habit.
The next moment, a square slab, made up of exotic materials, several times larger than him, appeared not far from Aakesh.
Autumn returned to her chair and closed her eyes to regain the energy she had lost in the practice match since she didn’t have the outrageous ability of unlimited endurance like Aakesh.
***
“2,631,752,981 Primal units,” The number showed on the testing slab when Aakesh hit its center with nothing but pure physical strength.
“8,792 more points than yesterday,” Aakesh mumbled, the number of Primal units he had gained with just a practice match with Autumn.
Aakesh then raised his hands, with his palms facing the sky upward. The next moment, energy started gathering in his palm. Soon, it took the shape of a dark energy ball.
There was no comparison of the size of what Aakesh could use before coming here.
Before, the largest size of the Apocalyptic Blast was around the size of a basketball, but now it was the same size as Aakesh, showing the monstrous amount of growth he had in the past more than 150 years of training.
“BOOM!”
The next moment, an explosion loud enough to shake the entire continent of Visteerna rang in the area as Aakesh pushed the dark energy ball to the testing slab.
Katrina and Autumn stayed unfazed, showing that they still were too strong for Aakesh to even put up a challenge against them if they were to use their full power. In the last more than 160 years of training, Aakesh wasn’t the only one to grow.
The duo also learned things from Aakesh. Aakesh, who had mastered several forms of combat styles spread across the Multiverse, helped Katrina and Autumn also have sufficient mastery in them.
***
“3,417,823,618 Primal units,” The next moment, the destructive power of Aakesh’s full-powered Apocalyptic Blast in numerical units appeared on the testing slab.
Aakesh was impressed by the number since, with this amount of destruction, his attack had grown strong enough to disintegrate half of the planet Visteerna in no time.
“Great!”
“Great!”
Even Katrina and Autumn seemed impressed by the number, so they complimented Aakesh at the same time.
“Now, it’s time for your battle,” Aakesh ignored their compliments and spoke, pointing at Katrina.
‘What a monster!’ Katrina and Autumn thought at the same time.
It has been more than 160 years since they had known Aakesh and the training began, but not a single day had gone past when they didn’t marvel or feel jealous over Aakesh’s unlimited endurance.
“Fine!” Katrina responded. The next moment, she disappeared from her chair and appeared in the center of the battle arena, prepared for the training.
Aakesh thought of the testing slab disappearing, and the next moment, it disappeared.
He then took a step forward, and when he put his foot down, he was standing inside the battle arena.
All this time, Aakesh had been fighting with all the restrictions on him, hence his monstrous growth. He had now started affecting the restrictions around him due to his efforts, just like a moment earlier, when he freed enough space around him to directly teleport into the arena, a distance of a few hundred meters.
“Let’s do this,” Aakesh and Katrina muttered at the same time as both of them disappeared from where they were standing and clashed.
