The First Store System

Chapter 1079: Xylan's Vow!

It was the thirteenth round of summoning as Xylan pressed the switch, aiming for a beast of his liking.

The square light began to rotate at an unprecedented speed, and five seconds later, it slowed down.

The next moment, a beast appeared on the screen, and not long after that, a card formed out of nowhere and flew into his hands.

Xylan didn't recognize the beast, so his anticipation to get a desired beast grew higher and he focused on the card in his hands.

[Name: Terror Lion

Type: Beast

Race: Lion

Quality: Ultimate

Element: Darkness, Illusion, Fear

Cultivation: Peak Divine Lord

Ability:

Roar of Terror: The Terror Lion can unleash a deafening roar that causes its enemies to flee in terror, leaving them vulnerable to attacks.

Terrifying Claws: The Terror Lion's claws are razor-sharp and imbued with the power of fear, making its attacks more lethal and terrifying.

Frightening Presence: The Terror Lion's mere presence is enough to strike fear into the hearts of its enemies, making them hesitate and falter in battle.

Darkness Shield: The Terror Lion can create a shield of darkness that absorbs attacks and returns them with amplified force.

Horror's Bite: The Terror Lion's bite is filled with the power of fear, causing its enemies to suffer from horrifying visions and nightmares.

This card can be used to summon a powerful monster onto the battlefield, capable of dealing massive damage and defending against attacks. Use it wisely, and watch your opponents tremble before the might of the Terror Lion.

Price: Nine hundred ninety-nine thousand supreme Sacred stones.]

Xylan's eyes lit up in astonishment as he knew he had found the beast he had been looking for.

On the upper half of the card was an illustration of the majestic, terrifying Terror Lion.

It was a huge, ferocious lion. It appeared to eat up the light around it with its black fur. Its eyes were a vicious shade of green. Its mane was darker than the abyss itself, and it was in a roaring posture. Just by looking at the creature, many would lose their sanity due to fear.

Xylan decided to go ahead with the sale as soon as he saw the element section. The Terror Lion wasn't the first ultimate quality beast in his summoning, but it was the first to win over his heart.

The element of emotions was extremely rare in the Multiverse, so it came as a huge surprise to Xylan when he saw fear in the element section.

"Store owner, I want this," Xylan requested Aakesh, pushing the card toward him.

Aakesh took the card, tapped twice at the pattern at the back of the card, and returned it to Xylan.

Xylan soon found himself in a different setting with the Terror Lion in front of him. It wouldn't be a lie if Xylan said that he wasn't feeling frightened while standing against the Terror Lion.

Time flew by, and after what felt like an eternity to Xylan, the battle came to an end.

Xylan took his last breath with disappointment, while the Terror Lion let out a deafening roar at the sky after its victory.

***

When Xylan returned to the store, his entire back became wet with sweat as the battle with the Terror Lion was bloody and full of fear. Xylan was disappointed with his loss, but he also understood that his strength wasn't a match for the Terror Lion at the same stage.

The next moment, the card in his hands disappeared as he had failed to pass the second step.

"You need to pay ten thousand and one supreme, eleven thousand... Sacred stones," Aakesh announced expressionlessly.

Failing the taming battle came at a cost, as it was priced at one percent of the total cost of the beast. As the Terror line was almost close to one ultimate Sacred stone, even the failing cost reached higher than many of the ultimate quality beasts sold by the store.

Even for Xylan, it wasn't a small sum, but he gritted his teeth and paid the sum.

The next moment, he took out one ultimate Sacred stone from his space ring and bought an Ultimate Store Card.

***

[Do you want to pay ten thousand and one… Sacred stones?]

An alert rang in Xylan's head after the binding process with the store card was complete. Xylan responded positively, and the next moment, the required amount got deducted from the wealth he had stored in his card.

Soon after, an alert informing Xylan of the remaining balance rang in his head.

***

"Store owner, can I resummon the Terror Lion, or will I have to start again randomly?" Xylan asked Aakesh after he paid the due.

Xylan hadn't given up on the Terror Lion after his defeat. In fact, he had become even more adamant about owning it.

"You have completed the thirteenth round of summoning, so when you return to summon, it will be the fourteenth round. If you want the same beast as the last round, where you lost the taming battle, you need to inform me. You will not have to go to the summoning pillar.

But remember, it will be considered the next round of summoning, and it will cost you a hundred supreme Sacred stones," Aakesh responded, clearing Xylan's doubts.

"Thank you, store owner," Xylan nodded and thanked Aakesh.

After a month of training, he would return to the store. If he lost again, he would train and return again. He would keep doing it until he succeeded, and the Terror Lion became his.
