Strings Of Domination - Chapter 141

After they met with King Helio and Queen Ayanna inside the palace, Nash and the rest were taken to Planet Amnar on a spaceship by Silva which surprisingly only lasted for 3 hours!

Though, despite 3 hours is a small duration of time, under just those three hours many things happened.

First and foremost, the most noticeable change was Miles’ aura which slightly became denser. This, of course, happened because he successfully unsealed his third Primordial Vein thus pushing him to Level 3 right away! Of course, Silva and the other Slayer that were on the spaceship didn’t notice this as Miles made sure to use his Domination Art to prevent any sound, tremor, and power from entering and exiting from the room he was in!

The second most apparent shift that happened was around Amy, who although has yet to break through her bottleneck and become an Ascender, happened to succeed in filling her Ancient Veins almost 90% which made her presence greater than ever before!

As for Nash, in contrast to Miles and Amy who cultivated in silence, he kept staring at the map in his hand which will determine if they will be able to get to the Lost Ruin without getting lost or not.

He literally stared at the map for 3 hours straight, trying to carve the whole context of the scroll into his brain to the point where he can navigate even without its help!

“We have arrived.” knocking on the door gently where Nash, Miles, and Amy were currently resting, Silva took a step backward and waited patiently.

And just a single minute later, the door finally opened and the three walked out of the room. Then, with the lead of Silva, the three departed the spaceship, stepping on Planet Amnar’s surface for the first time.

“This forest looks way bigger and way eerier than from the pictures,” Miles mumbled with awe as he raised his head in hope to see the top of the towering trees, but not too surprisingly, failed to do so.

The forest in front of the three was truly huge, huge to the point where before the trees Nash almost felt like an ant before numerous skyscrapers that from afar seemed to form an infinitely long and wide wall!

Furthermore, to make this almost hopeless feeling even worse, the dense fog that ruled all over inside the forest like a white sea made him feel as if he was secretly watched by hundreds of eyes at the same time!

Such a feeling was so weird and creepy that Nash couldn’t help but feel a cold shiver run down his spine, forcing all his hair on his body to stand to end!

“As Lord Helio ordered me, I will wait here until the three of you won’t return. However, if the three of you don’t happen to emerge from the Lost Forest in a week, I will leave.”

Upon hearing the words of Silva, Nash and the other two looked at each other but didn’t say anything.

“Don’t worry, if you follow the route on the map that Lord Helio has given to you, I am sure no problem will arise and the three of you will safely reach the Lost Ruins and safely exit it,” Silva told assuring words to the three when she felt that they were a little anxious.

“The only threat you need to look out for is-”

“Is the Lost Souls. Got it.” Nash interrupted Silva without caring if he was rude or not.

Silva’s mouth twitched slightly once she saw how Nash cut her off in her speech, but as she knew they were on a mission that was extremely important for King Helio she swallowed the words she wished to say next and nodded;

“Perfect, then don’t forget. You have one week.” and with that, Silva didn’t wait for a reply and walked back into the spaceship.

“Let’s go.” Nash didn’t hesitate even for a second as he quickly began to walk forward.

Miles and Amy first were reluctant but once they saw how Nash was ready to vanish inside the dense white fog they quickly snapped out of their daze and ran after him.

“How long will it take for us to reach the Lost Ruins?” arriving next to Nash after catching up, Amy looked around and asked.

“According to the map, it should only take us a day to reach the edge of the Lost Ruins,” Nash said as he looked at the map, but soon stopped, taking by surprise the two on his side.

“Why did we stop?” Amy asked as she saw how Nash suddenly stopped and started to turn his head left and right as if he was looking for something.

Even Miles looked confused and raised his guard as he believed that they have already crossed paths with a Lost Soul thus they have to fight, but to his and Amy’s greatest shock that was not the case at all!

“It should be alright to summon it now, right?” Nash muttered quietly and after a short while he extended his hand in front of him with his palm facing upward.

Amy and Miles first were confused when they saw Nash’s strange behavior, but in two ticks their eyes widened as they watched as with a gentle green light but out of thin air a beast emerged atop Nash’s palm!

The beast was a bird the size of a human baby and feathers as green as an emerald which gradually turned darker and darker toward its tail! Furthermore, its beak and eyes were completely ink-black, giving it a rather mysterious but ancient appearance!

“W-What the hell is th-?” Amy exclaimed out loud with a scare, but even before she could have finished her question Nash placed a finger before his mask where his mouth was located and slowly shook his head, indicating she should remain silent.

Amy didn’t understand the reason behind Nash’s action, but as she was well aware he had his own reasons she closed her mouth and nodded. Miles was the same, and with slightly narrowed eyes examined the beast which calmly rested on Nash’s hand, its seemingly abyss-like eyes staring at them silently!

Nash nodded when he saw his friend’s reaction and turning his head toward the bird he carried its head gently before raising his head and saying quietly, “Go.”

The beast, which was obviously Nash’s Soul Swallowing Raven extended both its wings wide, and with two powerful flaps which were almost noiseless, it took off and in a flash vanished among the white fog above the sky!

“Let’s go..” once Nash was unable to see even the tiniest sight of his pet he focused his attention back at the map in his hand and after gesturing to the two on his side he quickly began to walk again.
