Strings Of Domination - Chapter 75

Blood flowed onto the ground in a great amount the moment the creature slit his own throat, painting the ground below in the color of deep crimson.

“W-What happened? Why did it kill itself?” Amy’s eyes widened upon witnessing the suicidal move of the creature, her beautiful silver eyes trembling ever so slightly as she watched the now lifeless corpse falling onto the ground into its own blood.

‘So I was right. I can truly use this power to kill with a single sentence.’ Nash felt satisfied by the result, but soon his mood turned somewhat sour.

It was because although he had an ace up in his sleeve which could literally save him almost any given time, it had two major flaws.

The very first was its cooldown. Of course, although a power that allowed him to kill with a single sentence without lifting a finger was terrifying and overpowered, 24 hours of cooldown was still a long amount of time. In the long run, especially against a hord of enemies that were on the same Rank as him, it had only a small use.

However, its biggest flaw was not that, but the fact that it was incapable of influencing beings’ emotions above his Rank. For instance, if he were to fight with Amael once again, although he would stand a bigger chance than previously, he still would be unable to kill him as his Dominator’s Domain was useless in him while he still was a whole Rank below him.

Therefore, despite having such a heaven-defying ability, if he couldn’t use it against enemies above his Rank, it had almost little to no use to him as he could literally crush anyone on the same Rank!

‘Let’s hope once I increase its Class once again this flaw will be corrected.’ Nash said in his heart and looked at Amy calmy before saying with a small sigh, “It was one of my newly acquired abilities but turns out it has only little to no use to me in its current form.”

“Little to no use? You have literally killed him with a single sentence!” Amy said with a frown, slightly feeling the urge to walk before Nash and choke him to death.

How could he say it had only little use to him when he literally commanded a being on the Warrior Rank to commit suicide? Was he an idiot or simply was this shameless?

Nash, however, just shook his head and ignored Amy’s question. He was just too lazy to explain to her why he said such words thus instead glanced at the several black strings floating before his face.

[Targets’ bodies have decayed!]

[Targets’ {Soul} have been freed!]

[Attaching {Death String} on targets now possible!]

Upon hearing the voice in his head, Nash curled his lips upward and without a second thought waved his hand, catching all the black string with one single motion!

[Successful attachment!]

Whoosh!

A gentle breeze appeared in the room even though there was no air-conditioning on the ceiling or walls and instantly black smoke rose from the corpses, taking on the shape of the creatures that had been just killed a few seconds ago!

Amy watched this with a nonchalant look as she was already used to such a sight, but if one looked at her charming silver eyes from a closer distance, one would notice the lingering shock in them.

She felt shocked as she didn’t understand just how could such a power that Nash acquired exist in the first place. The power to control others, bring the killed back from death’s embrace, and order strong beings to commit suicide with a single sentence.

Just what else did he have up in his sleeve? Amy didn’t know, but she was smart enough to know that he had at least one or two more aces hidden in his arsenal he had yet to use or has already used against Amael but failed to witness.

While Amy pondered with her silver eyes fixed on Nash’s face in silence, Nash showed a smile and clutched his Soul Breaker tightly.

“Let’s go. We have to take control of this ship as soon as possible.”

Amy nodded gently when she heard Nash’s words, and without saying anything followed him closely from behind.

Inside a huge starship of the Thousand Blood Race which was literally as gigantic as a great mountain, Amael sat inside a luxurious room next to a huge bed that had at least three meters in both width and length. On it, Erys’ calmly breathing but the unconscious body was lying.

“This is strange. I can’t feel any mind or body sealing technique on her nor any curse or some sort.” Amael stared at Erys’ body with a pondering look, his crimson eyes examining her seemingly sleeping face.

“What’s more, she is in a natural slumber, so it isn’t even a spell.” Amael touched his chin as he leaned back into his chair, his gaze never leaving Erys’ figure even for a second.

Bzzz!

Whoosh!

As Amael was thinking, suddenly a small metallic orb on his side appeared from out of nowhere before a hologram representing a powerful and domineering-looking Thousand Blood appeared.

“My Lord!” Amael quickly jumped onto his feet and knelt down, lowering his head as if he felt not worthy to look at even the hologram of the individual in front of him.

Lord Ozren looked indifferent when he saw Amael’s kneeling figure, but when his gaze fell on Erys’ unconscious body he frowned and asked, his voice holding a hint of anger, “What happened with her?”

Amael nodded and without hiding a single thing he explained everything. After talking ten minutes straight without halting and leaving out a single detail, Amael lowered his head slightly and said, “And this is everything. I suspect the Young Lady is still under that human’s power even though I have just sealed all his powers.”

Lord Ozren frowned and wished to say something after a brief moment of silence when suddenly Erys’ eyes snapped open and sat up.

“Young Lady! So you have fina-” Amael stood up and showed a warm smile at Erys, but his face changed abruptly when he watched as Erys’ figure appeared in front of him, her fist ready to blast his skull into pieces!

Swish!

Bam!

With a fast movement that was akin to a ghost’s, Amael avoided Erys’ surprise attack and appeared behind her in the next second, hitting a single point on her neck with a thumb.

Thud!

“My Lord…” watching as Erys fell on the ground unconscious, Amael’s complexion was confused, and glanced at Lord Ozren’s hologram on his side.

Lord Ozren help a somewhat similar complexion, but soon his face turned serious and said, “It seems that power is much greater than I have thought. Bring him back to me and I will take care of him personally.”

“And what about the Young Lady?” Amael asked as he placed Erys’ body gently back on the bed.

“Just keep her safe and make sure she won’t cause a ruckus. While that power is still on her and influences her actions outside her will, it is better to knock her unconscious whenever she wakes up.” Lord Ozren said with a small sigh.

“Understood, my Lord. I promise on my name I will keep her safe until we arrive back at Planet Lark.” Amael kneeled down immediately after.

Lord Ozren just nodded and his hologram vanished, leaving Amael alone in the room with the unconscious Erys once again.

Amael stood up when he saw that Lord Ozren was no longer in the room and was about to sit down to examine Erys when the door on the side burst open and a Thousand Blood ran inside with heavy breathing.

“What’s the matter? I have ordered no one is allowed inside without my permission if it is nothing dire.” Amael frowned as a tingle of anger surfaced onto his usually indifferent face.

“Lord Amael… I know my mistake and I apologize… but we have an emergency.”

Amael frowned upon hearing those words, but when he heard the following words of the soldier his face changed abruptly.

“The human… He has escaped!”

Inside the small spaceship, Nash sat inside the control room before a small-sized control panel, his fingers pressing different buttons while reading a book on his lap.

“This is not even that hard. Everything is explained so well inside this manual that even a monkey could easily learn how to pilot a spaceship.” Nash said with a calm smile, placing his palm atop a blue orb on the side which immediately caused the spaceship to drift slowly forward.

“Well, we also got a small instruction from the previous captain of this spaceship before you decided to kill him,” Amy said calmly and turned around.

Behind her, several of Nash’s Souls moved here and there, carrying different-sized boxes and objects without stopping. Some even tore out small devices from the walls with brute force and smashed them into pieces before taking them away to who knows where.

After inspecting the actions of the Souls that once were living beings before getting slain by Nash, Amy became bored and turned back around, her pretty but indifferent eyes shifting at Nash’s figure on her side.

Seeing as Nash focused greatly to figure out how to control the spaceship they were in, Amy decided to remain silent and relax when suddenly the sky outside above her began to turn dark, turning her vision inside the control center rather dim.

‘Wait… Sky? We are currently outside space with no planets or asteroids nearby so how…’ Amy realized something and quickly looked outside the window in front of her, but when she did, her pupils immidieatly shrunk to the smallest size possible and her pretty face paled!
