Strings Of Domination

After changing into his new clothes and hanging the staff behind his back Nash decided not to waste time any longer and quickly walked out of the room. And just as he did, from both the left and right Amy and Miles walked out of their own rooms, wearing their new set of clothes below their hoodied robes.

"You guys look great in those too." Nash complimented both Amy and Miles as the mixture of crimson, black, and gold truly looked good on their bodies. Especially on Amy, but it was because her clothing style was completely different from theirs.

"Yeah, I was slightly shocked when I saw just how perfectly did it fit my body. I wonder how they knew what size they should give us." Amy nodded slightly as she followed Nash.

However, just as they were ready to reach the exit and leave the hotel, suddenly the door in front of them opened and two figures walked inside, forcing them to halt their steps to allow those two to walk inside.

"?!"

However, once the three saw the face of the creature on the right their complexion behind their masks immediately stiffened and their blood ran cold!

"L-Lord Amael! A-Are you sure you don't want to take residence in the hotel I have mentioned earlier? That one is way more luxurious than this one and I am pretty sure you would like it more too!" a creature that hailed from the Amule race walked beside a Thousand Blood, who was none other but Amael himself!

As for the creature on his side, he was Heno who made sure to help Amael in every need of his.

"If you ask another question I will cut your head off." ignoring the questions of Heno, Amael talked coldly, his words resulting in Heno's complexion paling incredibly and body trembling uncontrollably.

"Hm?" as Amael was walking through the door that automatically opened before him he felt several gazes on his skin thus forcing him to shift his eyes toward the side.

'Who are... The Sargon Family?' Amael's eyes narrowed at first when he saw how the three were hiding their faces with masks, but when he noticed their clothes that only official members of the Sargon Family were allowed to wear his complexion relaxed, and instantly walked toward the three.

'Fuck! He is coming this way!' the color from both Amy's and Miles' faces quickly vanished while Nash just clenched his fingers into tight fists after hiding them below his robes.

Amael walked before the three and only came to a halt when he was two meters away from them, his sharp and crimson-colored eyes scanning the three from top to bottom.

"Why are you three wearing masks?" after remaining silent, Amael asked in a cold tone, even leaking a bit of his presence to see how the three in front of him will react.

However, to his great and unexpected shock, once his Warmaster Rank presence was about to reach the three and press down on them, the one with the Emerald mask on his head took a step forward while a thin layer of crimson light enveloped both him and the two behind him, preventing his presence to reach them.

As a fact, Amael could even see how that crimson layer of light burned around the three like fire, evaporating his aura upon contact as if it was water!

"Oh?" Amael's right brow raised because of surprise and with piqued interest allowed more of his presence to leak out of his body.

Or at least wished to, but just as he was ready two figures appeared on his side, forcing him to shift his gaze to them.

"Lord Amael, what a great pleasure it is to see you again!" Flake showed a serene smile as he took a step forward, standing between Amael and Nash without using any force or ability.

Bane did the same, but in contrast to Flake, he held a serious complexion, looking rather serious despite having an injured arm that had yet to heal completely!

Amael looked at both Flake and Bane for a few seconds before he gestured at Nash with his head behind the two and asked, "Who are they? Especially him?"

"Hm? Oh. You mean Emerald and his friends?" Flake opened his previously crescent eyes slightly wide and glanced at Nash before saying, "As you can see from their clothes, they are my members of my family."

After saying that Flake turned back around and with another smile asked, "Why though? Did they perhaps offend you?"

Amael examined Flake's complexion silently before withdrawing his presence and walking away, no longer caring about Flake nor Nash behind his back.

"Hmph! He is pretty full of himself." Bane sneered coldly once Amael was no longer visible around and turned to look at Nash, "What happened? Did you make something to make him start a fight?"

"We did nothing. We were just standing here, waiting for him to pass by when suddenly he changed course and walked before us and used his presence to intimidate us. It was as if he wanted to start a fight or something." Miles replied after a sigh of relief.

"Well, that is Amael for you." Flake shook his head helplessly as he continued, "He does pretty much everything without any logic."

"Yeah, he is rather unpredictable and no matter how unreasonable his actions look, he will never stop once he sets something into his eyes. That is why make sure to never offend him as he will pretty much kill you." Bane nodded.

Nash, Amy, and Miles looked at each other and even though all three of them wore masks, they could tell each of them now had a bittersweet smile on their faces.

Try not to offend Amael? Well, unfortunately, they were quite late to say something like that.

"Anyways, what matters is that you all are fine and ready. Anything else you wish to do before we go?"

"Huh? Go? Go where?" Miles asked with a puzzled tone of voice.

"Back home, to the Sargon Family, obviously."

"Eh? Then doesn't that mean... We have to..." Miles and Amy looked at Nash, not knowing what they should say.

After all, weren't their first objective to find Uncle Ben and the rest of the humans that escaped from Emerald Palace? Should they really go back with Flake and Bane, and leave the Human Dimension, unknown when they could come back?

Nash obviously understood Miles' and Amy's thoughts from their stares alone, but in contrast to them, he knew something they did not really.

For instance, while they indeed had to find his uncle and the rest as soon as possible as they could be in danger even at this moment, he knew it was easier said than done.

Like, how should they start their search if they had no spaceship with which they could travel through space? Buy one? From what? Their small amount of Space Jade Crystals from which not even a Divinity Class Domination Art can be bought?

But even if they would have had just enough wealth to buy a spaceship, it was very likely that the spaceship they could buy was one with an extremely weak defensive system, one that wouldn't be able to withstand a single attack from a Warmaster Rank being much less a Dimensional Creature's assault!

That is why currently they have no other choice but to follow Flake and do everything from now on they could to acquire proper means to start their search. And going to the Sargon Family where they can do quests to obtain fortune was a pretty good choice.

Furthermore, while they are inside the Slayer Dimension, it was very likely that Amael will go and search somewhere else, allowing them to stop running and take a little break even if it was only for a brief moment.

"We can go, we don't have anything else to do here," Nash replied after pondering for a while.

"Perfect. Then let's get going." Flake nodded and gestured toward the three to follow.

Thus, Nash and the rest had no other choice but to follow Flake silently, and after climbing into the carriage that waited outside watch as they began to go toward the center of City Neo.

"That... Is the Ancient Path?" after traveling through the city for close to half an hour and another half by descending deep underground, Nash and the others finally arrived into a huge open space where a great circular ancient gate with a white swirling vortex in its middle was visible!

As a fact, it was so huge that once they arrived in front of it, they felt like ants before a towering skyscraper that cannot be climbed nor ascended no matter how hard they would try!

The gate literally made them feel as if they were just no one and worthless beings before it despite it being only a gate!

"It's huge!" Amy said with a dumbstruck expression, feeling like the invisible aura around the Ancient Path weight down on her shoulders heavily.
