Strings Of Domination - Chapter 76
Amy’s face was void of any existing color, her pretty face as white as a ghost’s at the very moment.
“N-Nash?” extending her slightly trembling arm toward Nash without taking her gaze away from the thing in front of her, Amy patted Nash gently on the shoulder.
“Just a second. I am pretty close to finishing reading this manual.” without raising his head to look at Amy, Nash turned a page over in the book on his lap and proceeded on reading it.
However, when he felt Amy patting him for the second time with a slightly stronger force, he frowned and glanced at her.
“What? I sai-, huh? Why are you so pale? You look almost like someone who just saw a ghost.”
“We… We have a problem.” Amy whispered and without saying a thing stared outside the window.
Nash felt something was not quite right, thus followed Amy’s gaze outside only to feel his complexion getting sunk and hardened.
Right outside in sheer cold space, a massive creature with a length of about two to three hundred meters floated before the spaceship, its hundreds of golden eyes that had a size akin to entire houses staring at them with visible bloodlust!
The creature represented something like a dragon with the sole exception that it had no scales nor skin, but its entire body was only flesh and skeleton! Its beating heart, ribs, twitching muscles, moving tendons, and everything else were visible to the bare eyes, giving it an extremely grotesque appearance.
‘Dimensional Creature!’ Nash’s eyes contracted as he looked straight into one of the humongous golden eyes of the creature.
Dimensional Creatures. Creatures that underwent such a great amount of change when the Ancient Path was opened that they no longer could be categorized such as Normal, Evolved, or Mutated Beasts!
They have mutated to such a point where they were classified as a ‘Special Race’ capable of possessing powers and intelligence that could easily rival and even kill any being from any Dimension!
However, in contrast to the Ranks which were known in every dimension, Dimensional Creatures were ranked differently; they were ranked by the size of the territory they have obtained through their own powers and ruled over with their terrifying abilities!
And when one talked about territories, one didn’t mean a small field or a domain about the size of a city, but continents, even entire planets! There were even those terrifying ones that ruled over not one, but an entire solar system, having the strength to rival existences way above the Warmaster Rank!
“Fuck this!” Nash immidieatly took action when he realized that the creature in front of them was such an existence as only one capable of traveling through space without any external help was able to conquer planets and even entire solar systems!
Hence, without a second thought of hesitation, he dropped the manual down from his lap and with a quick press placed his palm atop the orb on his side!
Whoosh!
With a speed that was by no means slow, the spaceship burst into the distance leaving behind only a line of silver light. The distant stars in the far distance turned blurry and got slightly elongated, giving one the feeling they were traveling inside a tunnel instead of space!
“Hold on tight! We are getting out of here!” Nash said with a serious face and controlled the spaceship to get away from the creature as far and as fast as possible.
“Watch out!” on his side, Amy suddenly shouted as she watched as a golden light beam, which was more than a pillar than a beam approached them with terrifying speed, ready to blast the spaceship into pieces upon impact!
Nash was no fool to think that the spaceship had the means to defend against such a terrifying attack that could easily shatter entire moons with its created shockwave alone. Therefore, he quickly placed his other hand on the second orb on his other side and with one strong motion pulled both his arms downward.
Whoosh!
The spaceship immediately soared upward, just in time to avoid the pillar of golden light from destroying them in its entirety! However, although they have successfully avoided getting wiped out from existence with a single strike, the spaceship still sustained great damage from the powerful shockwave that followed after and surrounded the golden light beam!
“Not good!” watching as numerous flashing red lights appeared on the panel in front of him, Nash knew that the defensive barrier around the spaceship was damaged, on the verge of breaking!
Of course, it was only on the verge of breaking and was still able to fend against weaker attacks, but Nash knew perfectly well that it won’t be able to defend against another attack of such magnitude much less a stronger one!
“Where is the closest planet from us?” Nash asked with a heavy tone from Amy while controlling the spaceship through an asteroid field, flying here and there with great speed that made the Dimensional Creature’s chase harder.
Luckily, the panels had a unique feature that allowed him to control the spaceship not only with his palm but with his mind too, hence giving him an easier time to avoid crashing into the many asteroids drifting in space around him.
As for how he was able to control the spaceship both mentally and physically at the same time, it was because his concentration have already reached a level only a few could achieve. Ever since he learned how to seep his mind into his body without getting distracted during his time unlocking his Ancient Veins, Nash could easily concentrate on one or even two things at once!
There was hardly anything that could distract him once he decided to focus, just like this time too!
Naturally, there were occasions when he accidentally hit or bumped into an asteroid’s side as he was no professional, but because he was a fast learner he was able to correct his errors quickly and hardly do the same mistakes twice!
Upon hearing his question and seeing how concentrated Nash was at the moment, Amy instantly snapped out of her daze. Pressing a button in front of her, a huge hologram appeared in front of her, revealing a huge space filled with many planets and stars in the distance.
It was a Dimension Map, capable of showing one’s location inside the cosmos and revealing the position of the nearby planets.
Amy quickly swept through the hologram to find a planet, and soon enough, she found one.
“I have found one!” Amy showed a delighted face before turning sour and saying, “But according to the information, it is a rare mining planet, currently under the possession of the Thousand Bloods and the Fairies.”
‘The Fairies?’ Nash looked surprised when he heard this as he knew just what kind of race the Fairy Race was.
If his knowledge was not bad, Fairies were beings that were extremely prideful race and they extremely despised the Human Race, almost to the point where they loved cockroaches more than them!
If they would have been given the choice to save a dying cockroach or a human slave who wished to swear his loyalty to them, Nash was pretty sure 99% of the Fairy Race would choose the former without a second thought!
But what made them such a unique race was not their character or behavior toward the Human Race, but their Legacy instead. Because of their ability to control one of the most essential elements in existence, water, they were also known as Life Fairies too!
Not only were they able to control water with their will and use it in different ways to fight, but once they reach the Warmaster Rank they were capable of healing others too through their water element!
There were even rumors that once a Fairy reached the Pure Legacy Holder Rank their Legacy evolved such heights were healing a fatal strike was not a problem at all!
Even a crushed heart or shattered brain could be healed until they had enough water under their control and energy to not get exhausted!
Thanks to all this, many races around the dimensions wished to ally with them as their strength and support in battles were extremely useful, could be said essential, and much more valuable than using different pills, potions, or herbs!
Nash pondered for a brief moment before he clenched his teeth and made the spaceship turn a sharp angle and burst into the distance with speed twice as fast as previously.
Whoosh!
Meanwhile, in the very far distance on the planet where Nash and Amy were heading with the Dimensional Creature, two Thousand Blood clad in crimson armor sat inside a room, their complexion rather relaxed at the moment.
They were chatting idly with each other while sipping on a cup of warm tea when suddenly the panels before them turned red and a live video recording appeared in front of them.
“Hm?” both creatures glanced at the video feed in confusion and watched as a small spaceship was chased by a humongous beast through space, shooting golden pillars of beams at it without rest!
Wait… Beast?
When the two Thousand Blood realized it was no beast but a Dimensional Creature, both of them spit out the tea from their mouth and quickly slammed the red button in front of them.
Immidieatly, all the emergency sirens went off one by one, forcing everyone on the planet to stop whatever they were doing and look alarmed at the sudden change of events.
