The whole landscape fell into utter silence following Nash’s words. Everything was so silent that even the flies’ buzzing in the far distance could be heard as clearly as the propellers of a machine!

Amael and Nash stared into each others’ eyes without saying a single word. But in truth, there was no reason for them to do so as their emotions and thoughts were clearly present in their faces and eyes, especially for Nash who could see the changes in the creature’s emotions in front of him!

• Happiness: Neutral – 49%

• Sadness: Neutral – 2%

• Fear: Neutral- 0%

• Anger: Neutral – 49%

‘Zero fear, huh?’ Nash thought in his heart when he saw the numbers above Amael’s head but felt greater shock when he saw Amael’s level of anger was close to 50%.

‘Why is that every creature I meet with has a bad temper?’ Nash sighed inwardly, but in reality, he didn’t find it as a problem but instead felt happy.

‘At least like this, I will have an easier way to deal with him. Maybe I can even use a Life String to attach onto him once I force his Anger Level to reach the Critical Level.’ with those words in mind, Nash pulled his sword out from its scabbard and took up a stance to fight.

But to his surprise, even after an entire minute later Amael did nothing but stand in one place, his seemingly indifferent but cold gaze staring at him silently. This made him feel a rather creepy and eerie feeling, almost as if he was stripped naked before Amael, revealing all his secrets.

‘Something is not right!’ Nash widened his eyes when he realized he has fallen right into a trap. He wished to move, but it was already late.

[Your life is in immediate crisis! All beings attached by Lost Strings shall protect you at all cost!]

Swish!

Clang!

The sound of metal clashing against metal resounded right behind Nash’s neck, sending powerful ripples into the air that blew not only a few branches on the trees flying but even forced Nash’s head to be tilted forward abruptly!

Whoosh!

Jumping to the side without daring to waste a single second more, Nash turned around and watched as Erys held her sword firmly, keeping it in one place as Amael’s dagger pressed down on it with great force.

“Amael!” Erys showed a delighted face when she saw Amael, completely ignoring she was currently defending a human against Amael.

“Young Lady!” Amael’s eyes lit up the same way, his happiness also increasing at the same time, but soon his eyes turned sharp and vanished from his spot only to appear at the side of Nash in the very next second!

[Your life is in immediate crisis! All beings attached by Lost Strings shall protect you at all cost!]

Swish!

Clang!

“You are nothing but a coward hiding behind others’ back. If you are a real man, fight me fair and square with your own power.” Amael said coldly, showing no signs of harming Erys at all. As a fact, he even made his strike less hard, knowing Erys will be forced to protect Nash no matter what.

“Coward? Fight fair and square?” Nash sneered sarcastically and said as he retreated, “Says the one who was among the rest that sealed another race’s Legacy and destroyed their future out of pure fear. If you ask me, the only one who is the coward here is you!”

According to the stone monument back in Emerald Palace, the Human Race was once a mighty race and was among the few races that first entered the Ancient Dimension during the Ancient Era. But because of their Legacy’s terrifying potential, they were forced back into the Human Dimension where the Ancient Path was sealed back again, and only after tens of thousands of years later were they able to open it again.

However, when they succeeded in opening it for a second time, the humans in that era no longer had their Legacy, hence could do nothing but watch helplessly as other races from the Ancient Dimension invaded them and sealed their Legacy away on the very first day.

If that story that Nash understood from the stone monument was genuine and truly happened, what he said to Amael was more than the truth!

The real coward was not him, but all the other race, including them that feared they will be conquered, enslaved, and ruled for all eternity even though that was meaningless dread!

As for the part where he should fight fair and square with his own power… Wasn’t he doing that just now? Although he obtained his Domination Art through pure coincidence and luck, in the end, he still acquired it and was his, no matter what others were saying.

Hence, the Strings of Domination was his own power. It was a straight fact!

“Your words are pure nonsense!” Amael sneered as he attacked Nash once again, but was forced to miss by Erys again.

“Nonsense? Then try and learn some history dunderhead!” Nash scoffed as he ran through a forest, reaching a group of Thousand Bloods, each of them at the Warrior Rank.

Giving a quick glance at his quests, Nash showed a delighted smile and thought, ‘With these five, I will be able to increase my Domination Art’s Class without a problem!’

Although he didn’t know what kind of Class will it reach as it was already at the max Class anyone could reach, Nash was impatient to see the results. Also, he couldn’t wait just what kind of powers will he be able to acquire if he succeeds and finally obtains 100 Domination Points!

‘But before that…’ Nash reached into his pocket and took out a small bottle filled with deep crimson blood.

When Amael noticed the bottle in Nash’s hands, his brows lowered into a deep frown, confused why he took out a bottle of blood all of a sudden. But even before he had the chance to think for a reason, something completely out of his expectations happened!

Gulp!

With a quick flick, Nash opened the bottle’s lid and poured the crimson liquid down his throat, painting his lips red.

“Urgh! Salty…” Nash put out his tongue with a slightly sour expression once he drank the whole bottle.

[Reaped Legacy: Bloodline Imitation activated!]

[100ml Sky Beast Race blood consumed!]

[Bloodline: Feather Body now will be active for 1,000 seconds!]

Immidieatly, Nash felt as his body became almost weightless and his muscles extremely relaxed, filling his whole body to the brim with nothing but sheer force and energy threatening him to burst out from him at any given moment!

‘Almost 17 minutes? Damn…’ Nash thought with a shock, but still pressed his feet against the ground with a relaxed grin plastered on his face and burst forward with speed thrice if not four times faster than he originally would!

“Impossible!” Amael was caught off guard when he saw Nash’s abrupt increase in momentum before his eyes widened slightly after realizing what had just happened.

‘He drank Sky Beast blood to improve his body! But this makes no sense at all. Sky Beast blood can only increase one’s agility and not their physical strength, so how?’ the confusion was greatly present in Amael’s eyes but quickly regained his calm and dashed toward Nash.

Despite having a great amount of growth in his momentum, Nash was still far from fast enough to run down him, a being at the Warmaster Rank!

Whoosh!

Appearing right behind Nash with his dagger raised, Amael swung his weapon downward, with a speed faster than Erys could reach him and protect Nash from death!

“This is where your journey comes to an end,” Amael said coldly but felt something was not quite right when he saw Nash turn his head slightly toward him, revealing a cocky smile.

Swish!

Blood and organs splattered everywhere the moment Amael’s dagger was swung vertically, but strangely, the one whose corpse fell to the ground was neither Amael’s nor Nash’s, but Revio’s instead who appeared behind Nash out of nowhere!

“What?” Amael felt dumbfounded as although he noticed when the Sky Beast appeared before him, he failed to avoid killing him as he flew into his dagger’s trajectory on purpose!

The Sky Beast committed suicide on purpose!

Amael watched silently as the Sky Beast fell onto the ground in two perfectly sliced halves, but his silence and shock only grew deeper when he witnessed a sight he couldn’t have imagined would happen before.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!…

With a speed that looked like flashing thunder, Nash’s figure flickered between the Thousand Bloods figures in the distance, severing their heads off their shoulders with a clean swing of his longsword one after another.

However, Amael’s deep shock didn’t come from the fact just how fast the human moved and killed his kind, but from the fact that there was a pair of wings behind his back and was currently floating high in the air as though it was the most common thing he could do as a human!

[One of your Life String have been severed!]

[Legacy attached to it now will be reaped!]

[Legacy ‘Sky Wings’ acquired!]
