"You smelly fish!"

Lily immediately grabbed Khaval's head and cursed.

Cough!

"I was just excited about you completing the challenge!" Explore more stories with My Virtual Library Empire

Khaval immediately coughed and expressed after pushing Lily's hands. He didn't dare to look into the eyes of Aakesh or Lily.

If he looked into the eyes of the former, even he would burst into laughter, but if he looked into Lily's eyes, he would burst into even louder laughter. And he had no interest in getting smacked. Lily's slaps were extremely painful, as she didn't hold back at all.

"Okay, he was just joking! Tell us how you completed the challenge!"

Aakesh decided to be the mediator when he saw Lily going for a smack.

Lily immediately scoffed and took her paws with nails out in the open back, but she didn't forget to give a glare back at her younger brother, who was still not looking at her.

She then looked at Aakesh and immediately forgot about Khaval, and that excited expression returned.

After that, her legendary story of the challenge began.

Several Panagea years ago, Lily was on a trip to survey her territory when there was an attack on her and her convoy from a neighboring tribe. Lily wasn't kind enough to take that kindly and decided to go on a full massacre.

What she didn't know at that time was that it was a trap set by someone who didn't want her dead but wanted her to disappear from the scene since the conspirators had some grand plan for her territory.

The tribe lived deep in the mountains, and Lily followed them to their den. The battle wasn't very difficult, and without losing even one member in her convoy, she massacred all those who had a hand in the attack and completed her vengeance.

After the battle, it was time for her to check her loot, and in there she found a special item in the shape of a bell. Lily knew the principle of not touching anything strange in Panagea because the world was too powerful and dangerous for all.

But the man who took her to the Treasury to see the loot picked up the bell, and as he was about to hand it to Lily, he suddenly shook it, causing a ringing sound to appear.

Lily's instinct had warned her of danger as soon as the man approached her, so she immediately attacked.

The next moment, a vortex appeared out of nowhere and sucked her attack as well as her. Her convoy immediately rushed as the vortex had made too large of a sound to remain hidden.

They immediately capture every single member of the tribe to put them in prison while being unaware of Lily's location and situation.

Urgh!

Lily groaned in pain as the attack she had released to attack the man hit her after being sucked in the vortex with it.

As she didn't want to take any chance, she had used almost her full power in the attack, and now, due to that, she was in extreme pain as there were numerous wounds spread across her body.

Fortunately, her recovery rate was extremely quick due to her strong bloodline, and on top of that, Aakesh's unknown bloodline had an even stronger recovery ability.

After she had recovered, she finally focused on her surroundings. As far as she could look, she only saw desolation, with no hints of life at all.

But what was advantageous to her was the richness of the element of time in the area. She had strong time control abilities, so she wouldn't be in grave danger unless the situation was extremely dire.

She immediately activated her ability, and her size began to expand at a rapid rate. In no time, she had grown hundreds of meters in size but still kept growing.

She stopped only after reaching her limit, and she finally saw something other than burnt ground.

A long distance away from here, she could see shining dots of particles on the ground.

She immediately rushed in that direction, and after walking for an unknown amount of time, she finally reached there. It was an endless desert where she couldn't see the end of it at all.

Her instincts warned her as she was about to step into the desert, so she paused for a moment but decided to proceed forward after a thought.

Aakesh had splurged a lot for her to get the privilege of unlimited deaths, so she didn't fear the danger for long and stepped in.

The next moment, her surroundings changed, and she found herself in a locked container. As she looked down, she could see sand slowly descending somewhere down.

If there were someone there from outside, they would see a gigantic hourglass with sand slowly slipping to the bottom from the top.

Even though Lily was gigantic in size, her size was no bigger than any other sand particle in the sandglass. With the sand, she was also slowly slipping down.

Lily had a gut feeling that if she completely fell down she would die, so she struggled hard to jump up. She even succeeded, but suddenly, a storm appeared out of nowhere.

It left after only a few seconds, but at that moment, Lily was almost on her deathbed, with numerous deep gashes visible.

Lily immediately activated her healing skills and returned to perfect condition, but after an unknown amount of time, the storm returned and caused the same extent of injuries.

Lily healed again, but only a few seconds later, the storm returned and did the same thing once again.

'The storm is random!'

Lily thought in her head, as the storm didn't return for a long time after that.

Time flew by, and Lily finally reached a safe distance away from being sucked inside. She didn't have the time to take a breath to relax when the storm appeared. That time, in only a few minutes, there were more than ten storms, making Lily a tragic sight to see.
