Strings Of Domination - Chapter 83

The spaceship in the sky was rather big, at least half the size of the city behind Alina and Mitah. It had a long oval shape and while it had many levels, five to be exact, it didn’t look fragile nor inferior to battleships despite being only a merchant ship.

Furthermore, the Starlight Iron which the spaceship was created from looked extremely shiny and majestic, giving it an appearance that could easily attract anyone’s attention even from a far distance and get an awed gasp at least once.

As Alina watched the spaceship, whose official name was Argon descend slowly from the sky, she asked calmly, “Any news about the trespassers?”

Upon hearing the question from his superior, Mitah shook his head and said, “Despite finding some of their trails in the southern Caryrpid Bamboo Forest, we failed to find anything else. It is almost like the earth had swallowed them.”

“Did you try to search toward the west?” Alina asked after a brief moment of pondering.

“Yes, we did. Although not in great detail as we did toward the east where the trails led us, I still sent a squad to search the western regions.” Mitah replied with a nod.

“The trails led toward the east?” for the first time after a while Alina frowned and said, “After leaving the Caryrpid Bamboo Forest to the east, did you find anything else?”

“Unfortunately, we did not.” Mitah shook his head helplessly.

Alina’s frown deepened a level but when she saw how the gates of Argon opened and several beings began to walk toward them, she relaxed her muscles and said quietly, “Order four more squads to go and search the western regions as soon as possible. Even though I know they can’t leave this planet right under our watch, I still have a hunch that they went west and are trying to hide somewhere there.”

“Understood. I will go and do it right away.” Mitah nodded and without saying anything else, he walked away with hurried steps.

As for Alina, she remained where she was and after letting out a sigh quickly showed a charming smile and said, “Welcome to Planet Nelea once again. Hope you had a safe and comfortable journey.”

“Lady Alina! You are as gorgeous as ever! No, I must say you become even more beautiful the more I see you! Not even the Moon Goddess herself would be able to rival with your beauty!” a handsome creature with a seemingly flawless figure walked up to Alina, showing her a dazzling smile that was by no means ugly.

His short silk smooth golden hair that waved in the gentle breeze, his golden eyes that glowed akin to a pair of stars in the sky, his immaculate white skin that even females would envy, and his posture that held great confidence as if he was the blessed child of the heavens. Everything on and about him was perfect, that was a straight fact!

Furthermore, to boost his natural charisma several levels higher, he wore an azure blue robe with ancient symbols sewed all over its surface, giving him a rather ancient and royal aura that only a few could compete with.

His name was Flake, the third prince of the Slayer Race. And like all being hailing from that Race, Flake too possessed a rather terrifying Legacy called Slayer Will, allowing him to boost his overall strength by several folds during any time in any battle!

Enemies on the same Rank simply stood no chance against a Slayer while those a single Rank above had a really difficult time dealing with one and could even end up dying if there were more than one!

“Please, you are flattering me.” Alina’s smile widened scarcely as she looked at Flake’s handsome face and slowly shifted her gaze at the rest of the beings behind Flake.

“Seniors… I am glad to see that all of you are safe and sound.” Alina bowed slightly, giving one a feeling almost as if she was no longer a warrior and a leader of Planet Nelea, but a maid that served guests in all her life until now!

“Lady Alina, I have heard the news about this Dimensional Creature that tried to wreak havoc on this planet a few days ago. Is that true? Do you wish me to contact my family and send some help to hunt it down so it can no longer trouble you?” a creature who was clad in silver armor and had long silver hair with a pair of silver horns on its forehead asked in a soft tone, his eyes holding concern.

“I appreciate your and your family’s kindness, but if my memory does not fail me the Silver Dragons are currently at war with the Serpents over a newly discovered Dimension Rift. It would be selfish from my side to ask for your race’s help.” Alina quickly rejected the help with a gentle and appreciated smile.

“Selfish act? It is never selfish to ask for help, especially if the one asking is a beautiful lady such as yourself!” the creature whose name was Zoar rebutted instantly, and with a somewhat arrogant smile he added, “Also, I hope you didn’t forget why my race called the Kings of the Silver Tempest! Dealing with a newly born Dimensional Creature is child’s play, it won’t even take us a day to kill it!”

Alina continued to smile upon hearing Zoar’s words and said, “I see, but I think we should talk about this matter at a later date. First, why don’t we go inside and start why you have all come for?”

“That is a great idea! Let’s go!”

Thus, all the creatures followed Alina inside the city, leaving only a few guards outside to guard the spaceship against seemingly non-existent threats.

“Okay, they are gone. Are you guys ready?” not far away from the city and the spaceship, Nash turned around and looked at Amy and Miles behind him.

“Ready.” Amy and Miles nodded, their complexion being rather serious at the moment.

“Perfect. Then let’s do this!” Nash smiled and after taking a deep breath to calm himself down he began to walk toward the two guards before the spaceship that at the moment were clad in blue armor and had a similar appearance to Zoar..

“Huh?” one of the Silver Dragons immidieatly noticed the approaching three figures and was ready to raise the spear in his hand when suddenly relaxed and a confused look emerged on his face, “Slaves?”

“What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be mining in your Sections?” the creature asked with narrowed eyes, his voice holding disgust and contempt.

Nash, who led the three stopped before the Silver Dragon and raised his trembling gaze. His back was slightly hunched while his body subconsciously took a step back, almost as if he was scared to even breathe much less speak!

Furthermore, Amy and Miles behind him clung to his dirty clothes, giving the creature a sight akin to two little siblings trying to hide behind their elder brother from something extremely terrifying.

“Haha! Look at you man! You have scared them shitless! Haha! They are trembling like rabbits!” the other creature laughed as he watched the three, earning a smirk from his friend.

“W-We were ordered to take that abroad,” Nash mumbled quietly and pointed at a single large crate on the side.

“Huh? When did that get there?” both creatures looked puzzled when they saw the crate, but quickly shrugged it off and said, “Make it quick and get done with it.”

Nash’s eyes lit up and with Amy’s and Miles’s help picked the crate up and followed the creature that mocked them a moment ago into the spaceship. As for the second one, it remained outside, proceeding on with his guarding without a single care in the world.

The three followed the creature through different halls and rooms before they finally arrived before a door that said ‘Storage Room Number 44′.

“We are here. Put that box inside already and scram. This is not a place you pieces of trash can linger around.” the creature sneered and even punched Miles who was the closest to him in the back.

However, when his palm hit Miles’ back the awaited sight of him stumbling and forcing the other two to fall too didn’t happen, and instead, his palm turned slightly numb almost as if he just hit a boulder instead of flesh.

“What the…?” the creature frowned and wished to try again when suddenly a shadow appeared behind him with a silver dagger gently placed before his throat.

“If you mutter even a single word, I will slit your throat open without hesitation.” Amy’s cold voice appeared from behind the creature, earning it to shut his previously big mouth tightly because of the firmly pressing coldness on his throat.

“Good job guys. It went more smoothly than I have believed.” Nash praised the two as he looked around. Only when he made sure there were indeed no security cameras on the walls did he nod and walk before the creature, his whole body emitting a rather chilling aura.

“As for you, you did great work too.” Nash smiled and with a firm grip grabbed one of the creature’s horns, pulling his face to his a little bit closer.
