Strings Of Domination

Nash firmly clenched the creature's horns and leaned forward, his face only an inch away from the creature's who was uncontrollably trembling.

"Let me see... Should I skin you alive and turn your scales into a nice armor, should I cut your throat open and let you bleed to your death or..." Nash spoke slowly and as he tightened his grip around the creature's horns, asked coldly, "Should I break everything on and inside your body, starting with these right here?"

The creature's pupils shrunk when he felt the pain in his horns and his Fear Level immidieatly skyrocketed.

'Oh?' Nash was delighted to see he found such a weakness and without hesitation secretly activated his Dominator's Domain.

[Dominator's Domain activated!]

[Choose an Emotion Level freely to alter!]

• Fear: Chance Level - 42% --> 99%

Right away, the creature's face paled as if he just saw a ghost, and Nash's figure gradually turned into that of a devil in his eyes, especially with that somewhat wicked and cold smile of his!

"Now that I think about it, these horns look beautiful. Maybe I should really break them off and craft a weapon out of them. A pair of daggers would probably look extremely good." Nash spoke indifferently seemingly to himself and while his cold eyes glared at the horns on the creature's forehead, his grip tightened, forming small but apparent cracks on it.

And just as he did, the awaited results showed them right away!

• Fear: Chance Level - 99% --> 100%

[Target's {Fear} reached Critical Level!]

[Attaching {Life String} on target now possible!]

The words in his head made Nash form an even wider grin and without a second thought caught the white string that appeared and floated before his face.

Swish!

[Attachment successful!]

"What is your name?" once the string was successfully attached to his finger, Nash let the creature's horn go and gestured at Amy to take her weapon away from the creature's throat too.

The creature first felt confused by the sudden change of behavior of the human before him but when he saw how even the human girl relaxed and retreated he sneered coldly and was ready to throw out his fist to kill all three of them at once!

But to his utter shock, no matter how much he wished to move his body didn't adhere to his commands and remained where he was!

'What is happening with me? Why can't I move?' the creature's eyes widened and his shock grew a level deeper when he watched as he suddenly began to talk even though he did not wish to!

"My name is Gruze."

"I see." Nash nodded and pointed in the direction from where they have just come from, "Then Gruze, go back and pretend as if nothing happened here. Also, if your friend or anyone else asks about us just think about a reason. Even though you are a bonehead, at least you can think about one, right?"

'Bonehead? Who the fuck do you think you are, you piece of trash?!? I'm gonna gut you alive like a fish, just you wait!' was what Gruze wished to say, but what he did instead was stand up and without saying a word walked away!

"Do you really think it will be alright?" Amy asked once Gruze's figure couldn't be seen any longer. Even Miles seemed a little skeptical, but it was because this was his first time seeing Nash's Domination Art in action.

"Trust me, they will have no clue that we were here. Even if they realize that we have sneaked up, it will already be too late." Nash said with confidence as he walked inside the storage room and sat down, seemingly ready to cultivate.

Amy and Miles looked at each other, but alas, they could only trust him and see what will happen.

"Took you a while. Huh? Wat, where are the brats?" seeing that Gruze's figure finally emerged from Argon the Silver Dragon looked confused, trying to find Nash's and the other two's shadow.

"You don't need to worry about them any longer. They have been taken back to their Section by Lord Soaz." Gruze answered with an indifferent face, taking his position to continue guarding the spaceship.

"Taken back to their Section? And by Lord Soaz himself?" the Silver Dragon raised a brow, but soon his eyes lit up.

As there was only this one exit on Argon, having no other possible route outside, the creature knew that his friend was lying. However, because he was well aware of just what kind of wicked personality that Lord of theirs named Soaz had, he knew it was better to forget about those three human slaves as soon as possible.

'Those three, especially that female... Sigh... Well, they can only blame their bad luck for having such a bad fate.' the creature sighed in his heart and quickly shook his head in hope to forget that he even saw those three slaves just now.

Time passed relatively quickly and one and half an hour later Alina and the rest of the creatures finally walked out of the city, while many Thousand Blood followed them from behind, each carrying huge crates toward Argon.

"As always, it was a great pleasure to make business with you. Also, thank you very much that you all still trust us by trading so many goods with us." Alina showed her usual beautiful smile, earning all the creatures' admiration in front of her in a flash.

"Please... We should be the ones thanking you instead. You have given us so many discounts on so many priceless items and ores that we can't even thank you enough" Flake said with a warm smile, immediately earning all the other creature's nod.

There was no question all of them were thankful for Alina as without her they would have had to pay hundreds if not thousands more than here on Planet Nelea.

"Little Blondie this time indeed has a point." Zoar laughed and quickly continued, "That is why, if you ever need help don't hesitate to get in touch with me. My family will always keep its doors open before you, Lady Alina."

Flake's brows twitched upon hearing the nickname Zoar gave him, but as he knew it was meaningless to start a quarrel, especially before Alina, he just kept smiling and remained silent.

"I appreciate your goodwill, really, but as you have already seen it everything is under perfect control. Of course, if I ever see I need to, I won't hesitate to accept your offer." Alina said with a charming smile enough to melt one's bone.

"That is perfect then." Flake and the rest nodded and after exchanging a few words they began to walk back to Argon.

Zoar even asked the two guards protecting the entrance of Argon if there was any problem, but as he got the answer of no from both of them he had no reason to linger around and walked away.

When the spaceship took off into space the smile on Alina's face instantly vanished and her previous cold and indifferent facade quickly appeared instead.

"Did you find them?" Alina asked Mitah once she was inside the control center, her gaze fixed firmly on the monitors before her.

"Not yet." Mitah shook his head gently, but quickly added, "But it seems Lady Alina was right. It seems they have indeed escaped toward the west as we have found several traces of them in the western region."

"Good. Keep on searching. It is only a matter of time before we catch them." Alina nodded and left the control center, completely oblivious that the ones she was trying to find and catch had long ago left the planet with the spaceship that had just landed on its surface a few hours ago.

Somewhere inside a hidden corner of the Ancient Dimension where space and time were so shattered, a gigantic and ancient palace sailed in sheer space, continuously getting hit by abyss black lightning that emerged from the space cracks seemingly erratically.

Yet, even inside this seeming death zone where even the strongest being from the current era would die without a chance to put up a fight, the palace stood and floated as proudly ever, no matter what.

Such a sight would definitely shock even the greatest minds that were currently at the apex of the Ancient Dimension to the point where they would immidieatly reconsider if they really were truly the strongest existences among all the existing dimensions or not!

As for what or who resided inside it, it was a complete mystery as the very second the 100th lighting struck its seemingly indestructible walls, the whole palace was engulfed in emerald green light before vanishing into nothingness, leaving behind not even a single trace at all that it was there just a second ago!
