The First Store System

Chapter 219: Karma(2)

”Eh!” She suddenly exclaimed in surprise as an idea emerged in her head, seeing the badge.

”Hmm... It would look better,” She mumbled as the idea of changing the flag sounded and looked better for a new start for the Kingdom.

Currently, the Bisan Kingdom had a red flag, and on it was the design of a raging bull.

It was a tower that made Punta select her as the next heir and completely change her destiny, and now the store owner gave her a badge on which the design of that same tower is engraved. The combination of the tower and badge will change the destiny of the Kingdom for the better.

She decided to make her new flag a golden flag with the design of the tower engraved on it, thanking the tower for coming to her life.

As Brinda reflected on the future the Kingdom had owing to the tower and the badge, she couldnʼt help but feel excited.

Since she wasnʼt even a Void Condensation cultivator, she couldnʼt use teleport and had to walk to the royal palace.

It had been several days since the royal palace, and its surrounding area had gone through a man-made disaster. The damage had reached such an extent that still there were damages left, showing what the place had gone through.

The jungle that had surrounded the royal palace and Puntaʼs pets that lived there had already disappeared due to the natural disasters caused by the sword Pinto had taken out that day. since they were right next to face the pressure, they faced the most brunt. Half of the jungle had sunk down, while the lakes around the area had dried down.

There was also a shortage of guards since Aakesh had killed quite a few guards while Pinto had also indirectly killed even more guards than Aakesh. So the guards currently only guarded the most important areas and the member of the royal family since there was no point in guarding a damaged area.

So after the walk of several yojanas, Brinda finally found herself alone on the bumpy road. Unaware of someone following her, Brinda walked when suddenly she sensed something behind her.

She looked behind only to see an empty road. Cultivators believed in their intuitions, so she didnʼt leave and instead turned around and searched the area. Even after searching for several minutes, she didnʼt find anything strange.

She then turned around to continue her journey when something suddenly appeared in front of her. Her face turned pale as if someone had sucked out the last drop of her blood.

A skull shrouded in grey fog floating in the air appeared only an inch away from her face. She could feel the air tingling, see the empty eye socket, and the sound of crackle the skull made.

”Give me the space artifact the store owner gave you!”

The next moment, a hoarse voice that sent chills down her spine rang in the area.

”Who...who are you...you?” She asked the floating skull. In fear, her voice trembled. She felt that the being before her was too powerful for her to even escape from him.

”I donʼt have all day. If you donʼt want to die like that couple yesterday, then do what I tell you to,” The Skull threatened since he recognized the identity of the girl.

He had seen a Tao Palace expert talking with her on the event day with a familial expression, so he didnʼt want anyone to found about him and do the deed early and leave.

He had already gotten a large profit from the sword he had stolen yesterday, so he couldnʼt even imagine what the badge that had unlimited space would go for. He wouldnʼt have tried to steal from the princess, but when he heard her shouting, he couldnʼt control himself. Just thinking about the amount of stone he will get after selling it made him jump in excitement.

What the man wanted to see didnʼt happen, and instead, the color returned to Brindaʼs face. The badge, despite not being bonded to her, activated its ability to help her.

The badge was a growth level Immortal treasure, so it had an alive spirit. Aakesh had created the badge solely for Brinda, and the item spirit also knew it since he had ordered it to follow her every order, no matter how stupid.

The badge had the passive ability to keep the owner calm at all times, no matter the situation. Only a calm king would make a good decision for the citizen and the Kingdom.

So, the spirit of the badge acted on its own and sent calming sensations directly to her brain to make her calm. Since the badge spirit was equivalent to a peak Immortal, the skullʼs influence on Brinda got reduced to nothing.

”So, you killed them?” Brindaʼs face turned cold, and she asked the skull floating in front of her.

A bad feeling rose in the skullʼs heart when he heard the sudden change in her tone. He had only survived this long despite killing for treasure due to his instinct. So he didnʼt dare to stay here even for a second and tried to escape, but the next moment, he found himself bound to the place.

The next moment, a scream rang from the other direction as an invisible pressure dragged a man in a dark cloak.

It was also one of the effects of the badge. Since the badge was made solely for the king, it had an active ability, ”Inviolable!”

The kingʼs dignity isnʼt something that anyone could sully. If someone dared to do this, the being needs to face the consequences of their action.

Brinda had turned into someone different at this moment. Even her blinking contained the majesty of a ruler. She raised her finger and only stopped an inch away from the forehead of the man covered in a dark cloak. She muttered something incomprehensible for the man, and the next moment, gray energy released from the tip of her finger and engulfed the man in no time.

”Plea-”

In response to the gray energy, the man disintegrated into nothingness, with his scream for mercy coming to a halt.

In the aftermath of the manʼs death, the wind grew stronger, and the sky roared as if they agreed with Brinda killing him. It was as if Brinda had become the king of the heavens itself at that moment.

”I made something good,” Aakesh muttered as he stopped watching any further.
