Strings Of Domination - Chapter 138

Inside the Human Dimension, on Planet Gaia’s biggest and most populated city, City Neo.

As always, City Neo was filled to the brim with life, millions of creatures doing either their daily activities or doing some minor tasks given by their superiors.

However, in contrast to the previous times where everyone was doing all that with a calm demeanor, this time everyone was looking rather stiff and nervous, almost as if all of them were criminals who has done something unlawful and now were scared to be found out.

Of course, this kind of behavior was only natural if one knew that currently, the entirety of Planet Gaia was under lockdown without anyone allowed to leave or enter either from space or through the Ancient Path! Furthermore, to make things even worse, City Neo was flooded with patrolling soldiers from the Thousand Blood Race, stopping everyone that they found suspicious and beating up those that didn’t obey their order!

“Any news?” inside one of the tallest building’s top floor which was located at the center of City Neo, Amael was kneeling in front of a hologram that represented a majestic figure.

“My Lord, I have sent out soldiers to scour the entirety of City Neo and even several teams to search the surrounding regions, but unluckily, so far I have found nothing, not even the slightest trace.”

“Hmm…” Lord Ozren let out a deep groan which even a fool would know was filled with unsatisfaction, but as he was mature enough to know it was pointless to throw a tantrum despite deep inside he wished to, he took a deep breath and asked, “Do you perhaps have any idea where they could hide?”

Amael raised his lowered head to face Lord Ozren and after pondering for a brief moment he shook his head and said, “Although I am not sure as from all the information I have gathered until now I have only found out they were last seen at the eastern district, I am pretty confident they are trying to disguise themselves as others thus attempting to blend in with the crowd to avoid eyes.”

“I see.” Lord Ozren nodded and waved his hand, “I know you, Amael, thus I am confident that with your abilities and experiences you will find him. However, if you make another mistake as previously, I hope you know what will wait for you.”

The words spoken by Lord Ozren were calm and collected, but for someone like Amael who heard them felt completely different. In his ears, Lord Ozren’s voice was akin to a basin of ice-cold water pouring down on him, freezing his blood almost instantly, hence forcing his body to tremble like leaves in a cold autumn night!

“…I know, my Lord. And I will promise, I won’t make the same mistake again.”

“Good. Now go and do your job. Also, the Emperor has given me complete control for a limited time over Planet Gaia, hence you are allowed to do whatever you need to catch those three escaping rats.”

Amael’s eyes brightened like stars upon hearing his king’s words and without hesitation lowered his head in gratitude.

“I am infinitely thankful, my Lord.”

Lord Ozren just nodded and without saying a single word waved his hand, deactivating the device which connected him to the one on Planet Gaia.

“This makes no sense.” once Lord Ozren deactivated the hologram, Clavellina who all this time sat next to Erys’ unconscious body on the bed while also caressing her little sister’s hair with affection, showed a confused frown.

“This makes no sense. How can be that those three slaves are still on the run and Amael has yet to catch them? I mean, it is Amael we are talking about.” Clavellina repeated her question, shifting her attention from Erys onto Ozren.

Walking at the edge of the bed where he looked down at his younger daughter, Lord Ozren remained silent before replying, “While Amael indeed possesses capabilities to hunt down anyone with just a small amount of information, he is still no God. Furthermore, from how serious he had been looking, I guess this is his first time having a hard time finding someone he wished to uncover.”

“Huh? But we are talking about a human, one that until now only mined ores and crystals!”

“Yes, and that human happened to kill several teams consisting of peak Infant and Warrior Rank soldiers while also having the ability to manipulate others, control the dead, and escape a jail which was built from Thunder Icecopper! Furthermore, it is the same human that several years ago with his Legacy still sealed crippled a Sky Beast on Planet Zero!”

Clavellina became speechless as while she knew just what kind of abilities did the human boy named Nash had, she didn’t know he escaped from a cell which was constructed from Thunder Icecopper while also he happened to cripple a Sky Beast in the past!

All these things were so new for her that her pretty eyes widened slightly while her crimson iris flashed gently as different emotions swept through her in a blink.

“I hope you now understand why even someone like Amael has problems finding that human.” Lord Ozren sighed with a hint of annoyance and anger before looking out of the window in the side and adding, “Though, I am sure Amael will find him and bring him back. And when that happens…”

When Lord Ozren finished talking, his face turned into that of a wicked devil, capable of scaring anyone with a slightly weaker will to immediate death if not into a state of unconsciousness!

Meanwhile, unknown for both Amael and Lord Ozren, inside the domain of the Sargon Family which was located somewhere inside the Slayer Dimension and not inside the Human Dimension much less on Planet Gaia, Nash was sitting in a lotus position with his eyes closed, seemingly cultivating.

SWOOOSH!

The constant sound of a powerful wind blowing sounded inside the building despite no windows being open while from time to time the sight of the air trembling and moving around Nash in a vortex-like pattern was seen.

However, strangely enough, while the only thing that happened around Nash was the air moving, for some reason Nash’s face contracted into painful grimaces almost as if he was under great pain despite his body from the outside was sustaining no injuries!

Though, if one went closer to Nash and looked at him from a closer distance, one would realize that was not entirely correct either as the muscles all over his body were twitching like crazy while his veins were bulging, almost as if they were ready to explode in any given moment!

Miles looked at Nash’s figure from the side in silence but as he knew that Nash’s life was not in immediate crisis as he was only attempting to unseal his next Primordial Vein he sat down too into a lotus position and attempted to unseal the same symbol as Nash.

Time passed with the two of them slowly but surely opening their white symbol and in a blink, half an hour has passed! However, despite Nash starting his cultivation way sooner than Miles, the very moment his symbol burst open, turning all his essence in his body to silver with a white hue, the same happened to Miles too thus creating two small explosions at the same time in the living room with them as the epicenter!

BAM!

The whole interior of the building shook the moment the two of them succeeded in opening their second Primordial Vein and even several items around them were sent flying such as chairs, mugs, and different smaller objects, but thanks to the symbols which Miles formed just beforehand the place only shook and didn’t collapse!

“Tsk…” inside one of the rooms on the second floor, Amy opened her eyes and clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction, clearly knowing that the whole building shook because Nash and Miles succeeded in unsealing their next Primordial Veins.

“Just you guys wait… I will catch up with you in no time.” Amy mumbled as her eyes seemingly stared at something despite nothing being in her line of sight but the wall, and without saying anything else quickly immersed herself back into her cultivation.

As for Miles and Nash, once their second Primordial Vein was formed, giving them a kind of feeling as if their muscles were feather-light and their veins were filled with electricity instead of blood, they opened their eyes only to be welcomed with the same rows of words in their line of sight.
