Chapter 478: Let’s See How Long It Takes to Reach the Conqueror??? (3)

“Come, I would give you the chance to attack me first,” The beetle angrily yelled, seeing the blue-skinned man silently standing and expressionlessly staring at it.

A smile spread across Aakesh’s face, hearing what the beetle just said, but before it could see it, Aakesh masked it away.

Aakesh made the gesture for the beetle to come to attack him first for this reason. The Golden Wings Beetle were very arrogant when it came to their combat.

For this reason, the beetle took Aakesh’s gesture as a disrespect by the man toward its ability to fight, and he was mocking it for being weaker than him. How could any Golden Wings Beetle accept this?

And finally, its ego made it offer the same gesture to Aakesh. Aakesh wanted nothing more than to be the first one to hit the beetle in the case.

The Golden Wings Beetles were known for their cruel tendencies and for not following through with the rules of the battle, so Aakesh wanted to hit it first with enough strength to injure it to an extent where the beetle wouldn’t be able to run anymore.

“Fine,” Aakesh expressionlessly answered in response to the beetle’s gesture.

The beetle got stumped by how easily the blue-skinned man accepted its gesture, and an ominous premonition emerged in its heart.

After accepting the beetle’s gesture, Aakesh charged toward the beetle.

The beetle wanted to say anything, but it had no time left. It could either fly away and go against its gesture toward Aakesh or take the hit.

When it remembered the gesture Aakesh had made, it forgot the ominous premonition in its heart and decided to take the hit head-on. It also didn’t feel a life-threatening danger from Aakesh, so the decision.

Aakesh punched the beetle while the beetle created a shield around it to feel secure. When Aakesh’s punch was only a few inches away from the beetle’s head, a tiny dark energy ball appeared on the tip of his fist.

The beetle felt something at that time and created another shield since it still didn’t feel life-threatening.

Then suddenly, something unexpected happened, surprising the beetle.

Aakesh’s punch missed the beetle’s head and suddenly went for its shoulder from where its golden wings originated.

“Crack!”

“Crack!”

“Crack!”

The next moment, continuous cracking sounds rang as the two-layered shield cracked open, and Aakesh’s punch clashed with the shoulder, resulting in the beetle’s bone cracking.

It didn’t end with the bone-cracking, as soon a not very loud explosion occurred, and the beetle’s wings suddenly caught fire and started disintegrating from its origin joint.

“ARGH!”

A painful scream rang in the area as the wings were the most sensitive part of the Golden Wings Beetle. They wouldn’t die if the wings got ripped apart, but the pain would be so great that the beetles would wish to die.

The reason Aakesh didn’t use his full-powered attack was that if he did, the beetle would escape before his attack would hit it, and Aakesh wouldn’t be able to do any severe damage.

The beetle had an almost similar level of strength as Aakesh, so he couldn’t make a mistake that would result in its escaping.

Now that Aakesh had hurt its wings, it would slowly disintegrate. The beetle would only focus on not aggravating the pain.

“Argh, you… you cheated,” After a lot of struggling and trembling, the beetle made out its sentence and accused Aakesh of cheating.

Aakesh ignored the beetle’s words since he didn’t care about what it felt.

He then raised his right hand, turned it into a fist, and soon dark energy, moving like flame, engulfed it.

The beetle, for the first time, felt a life-threatening pressure from Aakesh and his fist.

It wanted to escape, but in the spur of the moment, it attempted to fly, using its wings, which in turn aggravated the pain, throwing the beetle to the ground as it couldn’t bear it.

Aakesh ignored the flailing beetle on the ground. He brought his fist down and hit the beetle’s head, crushing it in half in no time.

“BOOM!”

The next moment, the dark energy around his punch spread across the entirety of the beetle’s body, and an explosion occurred, resulting in the beetle bursting.

Before the beetle’s body parts could even touch the ground, they disintegrated into particles, and the particles then flew toward the sky, just like the case with the spider and the mosquito.

“A great skill,” Aakesh couldn’t help but appreciate the skill, Apocalyptic Blast, once again.

Since he had arrived here, he had been using it continuously, and every time, he felt impressed with it. He could use it any way he wanted, making its use for all situations.

All the body parts of the beetle disintegrated into particles, and not long after, clouds spread across the sky.

“Pit-Pat!”

“Pit-Pat!”

“Pit-Pat!”

Soon, it started raining.

***

Aakesh appeared on the edge of the Beetle Ground while it was still raining since the beetle was stronger than the spider but still the easiest to die in the hands of Aakesh.

Aakesh then descended down the ground as usual and took a step forward, leaving the Beetle Ground, and entering new territory and new challenges.

Time flew by.

It has been around three months since Aakesh entered the portal.

During these three months, he had conquered tens of thousands of territories, each giving Aakesh a different challenge.

The only reason it had been three months and Aakesh still hadn’t been able to reach the ruler of these areas was because of his fame.

His fame had spread across the area, resulting in the rulers rarely fighting him. He hadn’t fought a single battle but was traveling on foot during the entire last month.

No matter what blackmail or tactic Aakesh used, the last two rulers refused to fight him and didn’t descend to the ground.

Since Aakesh couldn’t fly due to restrictions, he had no choice but to leave the territory on foot.

Despite three months of time, Aakesh looked the same as when he had entered the portal, without even a hint of dirt on his clothes.

Since Aakesh had unlimited endurance, he did not need sleep, or his journey time would have increased even more.

“12,389 more territories left,” Aakesh murmured as he came to the edge of another territory in his journey.
