Strings Of Domination

Nash inspected his Character Status in silence and couldn't help but form a satisfied grin.

'Under one month of straight hell, I somehow succeeded in reaching the sixth level, but...'

But Nash quickly realized that the last month was indeed a straight hell, could be said torture, as he had to withstand Erys' insane punched and attacks that pushed his body closer and closer to the peak.

However, what Nash also realized was that this method became more and more useless as every time he would get hit, kicked, or punched, the effect would become weaker thanks to his body becoming more and more stronger.

He even was bold enough to ask Erys to use a bit of her Warmaster strength, but that was barely enough to push him into the Sixth Level which was crazy! Even Erys looked stupified by the results, starting to realize that the human race was way scarier than they initially belived it.

What would have happened if the human race did get enslaved and let them grow stronger? Just being on the Infant Rank alone makes Nash strong enough to resist a punch from a Warmaster that was never heard before! Then what will happen if he will succeed in reaching the Warmaster Rank or worse, the Overlord Rank?

She doesn't even dare to think about it at all...

Nash obviously noticed the changes in Erys' eyes, but simply decided to ignore them as he knew that like this, it was only a matter of time before Erys help will become ineffective wholly, thus it was time for him to search for other means.

"Brother Nash, good news! It seems we have finally found our planet!"

A guy about a few years older than Nash suddenly appeared at the door, his emerald green eyes shining like stars from great excitement and anticipation.

About a month have passed since they have escaped from Azure Planet, and maybe they were doing perfectly fine, they still felt kind of bored, itching to set their feet onto the solid ground once again.

Hence, it was no surprise to see the guy talk about this news with such enthusiasm, almost as if he was a little boy who just woke up on Christmas morning, ready to open his presents!

"So it's finally time, huh?" Nash stood up, and once he patted his clothes he glanced at the guy, "Let's go, I can't wait to see this planet we will call our new home."

Sometime later, when Nash reached the cockpit, he was surprised to see that everyone was crowding next to the windows on the sides, each of them staring at the planet outside with joyful complexions!

"Ah, you are finally here! Thank you, Paul, you have saved me a lot of time." Uncle Ben looked at the guy who stood behind Nash, with a calm smile plastered over his face.

"It was nothing at all." Paul smiled and remained standing on the side.

In fact, the reason why he was the one sent to bring Nash was that he was the one that spent the most time with him when he wasn't inside the training room with Erys.

Also, as there were just way many buttons on the panels, he didn't want to leave Revio alone as he feared he would try and do something funny. Even though Nash commanded him not to try to do anything that could reveal their location, he still made sure to monitor him all the time.

In his opinion, the devil never slept so he didn't want to risk anything; better safe than sorry as others would say.

"Anyways, come, take a look at this beauty. Isn't she a real gem?" Uncle Ben gestured toward the window in the front, indicating Nash to take a peek outside.

'She?' Nash raised a brow upon hearing that statement but decided to ignore it as he knew his uncle sometimes was rather... strange.

Taking a few steps forward, Nash stood beside Revio who had quite an ugly look on his face and stared at the planet before him with wide eyes.

"Woah..." Nash became speechless once he got a greater look on the planet which was way bigger than he first thought.

He could remember hearing rumors about the size of the original planet where The Ancient Path has opened about a thousand years, Earth, but compared to those rumors this planet was considered massively huge and even that would be a hefty underestimation!

Compared to Earth, this planet which looked like a perfectly polished emerald with ocean blue spots on its surface here and there was almost five, if not six times larger!

"So you say we can hide on this planet without getting caught by the Sky Beasts or other races?" Nash directed his question toward Revio even without taking his eyes off the planet.

"Yes. Even though we are still in the region where we Sky Beasts have long ago discovered the majority of planets and solar systems, this planet is among our Crimson List so no one will assume you will lie low here."

"Crimson List? What is that?" Nash raised a brow and now turned to look at Revio who had no chance to remain silent but to answer.

"The Crimson List is a book where we record planets that we evaluate as trivial to excavate as it has nothing valuable to mine at all. It is a simple, deserted planet."

"I see, then it is really the perfect place for us to remain for the time being." Nash nodded and commanded Revio to navigate the ship onto the planet.

Nash, Uncle Ben, Paul, and every other person on the spaceship watched with gawking eyes as they approached the new planet, and slowly but surely, a completely new sight emerged before their eyes.

The black space and colorful stars were replaced by greenish colors, that turned out to be enormous greenish mountains, dense forests with trees as huge as skyscrapers, and vast grass fields as the closer they got to the ground level.

And about 5 minutes, Revio controlled the spaceship atop one of the mountains, which seemed neither large nor small, and with graceful movements, landed the ship carefully onto solid ground successfully!

"Let's go and take a look outside, shall we?" Nash turned around, and with everyone else following him from behind with excited complexions, walked all the way to the other side of the ship.

Once he reached it, Nash took a deep breath and with determined eyes pushed the button on the side, making the metal door before him open gradually.

'...'

Everyone watched the sight in silence and gazes filled with different emotions, their Happiness Level even skyrocketing all the way to 97%!

And the moment the entire wall opened fully, everyone was about to run outside when suddenly Nash raised his arm, stopping everyone in their tracks at once.

"You guys stay here, I will go and take a look first."

However, this made some confused, thus Nash had no choice but to explain, "Even though everything seems peaceful at first glance, we can never know what lurks around, especially if we are talking about an unknown territory where no creature has ever set foot before."

When the crowd heard Nash talk, suddenly everyone took a step back, even cold sweat flowing down on their backs and forehead as they realized Nash was indeed right.

Currently, they were on an unknown planet with unknown dangers hiding who knows where. It could be even possible that a beast was waiting for them right in the closest bush, ready to rip their bodies apart once they took a single step outside.

Just now, if it weren't for Nash stopping them, they would have easily run out and cheer merrily without even considering the dire consequences of their rushed decisions.

And thus, once this thought reached every person's mind, their level of respect and gratitude toward Nash deepened a level more.

Nash nodded when he saw everyone stayed still and after commanding Erys and Revio to follow him, he walked outside.

However, not even a second after they set foot outside that looked like Eden itself because of the emerald green environment, suddenly two figures emerged from the shadows, each having the appearance of an oversized lion. The sole exception however was that they had six legs instead of four and two heads rather than one, while their aura that covered their entire body was filled with unmistakable bloodlust!

When the people inside the spaceship saw the terrifying Beasts they began to stagger backward in fear while their complexion paled as they realized they could have really died just now!

However, Nash seeing the two creatures, that could have turned his legs into jelly if it were a few months ago, just smiled and raised his hand that had an abyss black ring on his finger.

"GRRR!!"

This behavior of his kind of angered the creatures, however, it was exactly then as Nash's smile vanished and what replaced it was a complexion completely void of any emotions.

"Come forth."
