Strings Of Domination - Chapter 119

Inside the legendary Hidden Library where the sight was literally the scenery from a fantasy novel, three figures could be seen on the vast platform of clouds. However, in contrast to the other parts of this mythical place where everything was colorful and peaceful, the area where three stood was enveloped in crimson-colored mist or some sort.

Furthermore, if one walked closer to this crimson aura that lingered in the air one would realize that it was no ordinary aura as the moment they enter their bodies would be hit by immense heat, almost as if they have suddenly entered the middle of a volcano!

Though, even though the heat was so scorching hot in that ‘domain’, the three individuals inside it were doing just perfectly fine, two even sitting in a lotus position with closed eyes as if they were meditating.

As for the third individual, he was calmly standing next to the one cultivating on his side while his body emitted a deeper shade of crimson aura that gently enveloped both his and the girl on his side.

“It has been almost 3 hours now. He must be advancing soon.” Nash mumbled quietly and gave a sidelong glance at Amy on his side.

So far, Amy has unlocked about 7 Ancient Veins in her body and it was pretty obvious she only needed a few more to unlock all the 64 Ancient Veins and successfully reach the Ascender Rank.

Time passed quickly and about half an hour later, finally, there were signs that Miles will be advancing to the next Level.

Bam!

A gentle ripple that carried the heat in the air broke out of Miles’ body and soon the crimson aura that enveloped the area in a hundred meters radius began to shrink until it only covered Miles’ body!

“Sigh…” letting out a deep sigh Miles opened his eyes and stood up.

“Congratulations on your breakthrough. You are truly something else.” Nash walked before Miles and asked, “How did you figure out what you should do?”

“I saw how Brother Nash made sure to wait until his body was used to the heat, taking everything step by step, thus I decided to try the same too.” Miles said with a grin as he stood up and said, “So I should be thankful for Brother Nash that he helped me… again!”

Nash just smiled upon hearing the words of Miles and turned around. Though, when he did, another small ripple that swept through the Hidden Library appeared, this time its center being Amy!

“Did I… Do it?” Amy whose eyes so far were closed opened and raised her arms before her face. And soon enough, a satisfied smile emerged on her face which unfortunately was blocked from the vision of the two in the distance, or else they would be shocked to death to see just how charming Amy at that very moment truly was!

“It seems you have reached Level 10. Congratulations.” Nash walked before Amy to help her up, which surprisingly Amy accepted gladly.

“Thank you. Now I only need to consume some essence as you have explained in the past and I will be able to reach the next Rank just as the two of you!”

“Well, it won’t be a quick journey that is for sure as it will take you at least a week, but you can definitely do it,” Nash said which Amy nodded as she was pretty aware of that fact.

“Anyways, we should get going now.”

“Can we come back here in the future?” Miles asked, but once he saw that Nash took out a strange talisman from his pocket, he seemed to realize something and remained silent.

“I was given this key by Aruer. If you guy want to come here to find a new Domination Art just say it and we can come back here any moment.” Nash said as he channeled his essence into the talisman which immediately lit up and enveloped the three in a mixture of emerald and gold color.

Whoosh!

With a quick motion that made Nash’s mind go slightly dizzy, the light that enveloped them began to move the three of them toward the sky inside the Hidden Library, and even before they could have realized it they were standing at the edge of the cliff where they poured the blood down into the abyss.

However, the only difference was that the pillar of light together with the abyss vortex and the ancient gate now were nowhere to be seen and what they were able to see was only the dark valley in front of them.

“We… are outside? Just like that?” Miles asked with widened eyes as glanced at the talisman in Nash’s hand, but just as he wished to ask something else suddenly his body flinched turned around.

Nash was the same and quickly spun around and stared into the distance. As for Amy, she just turned around because the two on her side did, but when she did, her expression behind her mask paled.

Right before her, about fifty meters away from her hundreds of beings were staring at them with a sharp glare, each of them clad in armor and holding different weapons.

“We are surrounded…” Miles whispered, his gaze scanning each and every creature in front of him.

“Really?” Nash mumbled with sarcasm and even wished to ask how did Miles came to such a conclusion, but instead remained silent and looked at each creature one by one.

However, when his eyes met with a specific individual, his eyes widened and asked, “Flake?”

Despite lowering his voice when he said the name, with the senses what a Warmaster Rank being had it was simply impossible not to hear it, thus many subconsciously shifted their gaze onto a specific individual who stood at the very front.

That individual, naturally, was Flake, who just as Nash was surprised deeply to see someone he knew.. Though, his shock only lasted for a few seconds before he regained his composure and after a mysterious glint flashed in his eyes he smiled and began to walk toward Nash and the rest.
