About ten meters high in the air, Nash looked down at Amael with a calm and seemingly nonchalant gaze, his wings behind his back flapping gently as it created just enough force to keep his body floating.

[One of your Life String have been severed!]

[Legacy attached to it now will be reaped!]

[Legacy 'Sky Wings' acquired!]

---------------------------

[Reaped Legacy Information]

• Description: A stolen power that was obtained by consuming the lost string that was on the verge of vanishing from all existence.

• Legacy Rank: Infant Rank

{Ability}

° Sky Wings: A pair of wings specialized in low and high-altitude flight with speed akin to the wind!

<This Reaped Legacy can be raised to the next Rank either by reaping a stronger being's Legacy or killing 100 Infant Rank beings while using your Sky Wings from the same race!>

---------------------------

Inspecting the rows of texts in his line of sight, Nash failed to resist the urge to show a delighted smile.

'How bad... I wished to kill him with my own two hands, but alas...' Nash sighed in his heart upon Revio's death, but quickly forgot it and glanced at Amael below him who was currently exchanging blows one after another with Erys.

But before he had the chance to join the fight, a peculiar but comfortable sensation began to sweep throughout his body all of a sudden, halting his movement.

[100 Domination Points successfully obtained! Requirements for growth have been achieved!]

[Domination Art: Strings of Domination ready to advance to the next Class!]

[Wish to proceed?]

Upon hearing the words in his head, Nash felt even greater joy and without hesitation thought, 'Yes, I do!'

[Understood! Now Domination Art: Strings of Domination will enter Advancement Phase!]

[All abilities of the Domination Art will be unusable under the Advancement Phase!]

[All Souls attached to Death Strings will be collected and isolated under the Advancement Phase!]

[All beings attached to Life Strings will fall unconscious and will be uncontrollable under the Advancement Phase!]

Nash's joyful smile froze on his face when he heard the words in his head, but even before he could have reacted watched as the wings behind his back melted back into his skin, leaving him floating in mid-air without any support!

"...Huh?" Nash glanced down at his feet, only to see that he was no longer high above in the air but was rapidly descending toward the earth below!

He was falling!

BAM!

Landing on the ground with a loud impact that cracked solid earth below his feet, Nash's face turned ugly, and raised his face. Then, he watched as Erys who swung her weapon at Amael suddenly froze in one place and slumped onto the ground like a ragdoll while several black flashes emerged from the woods before forming a black ring around his finger!

All his Souls that he sent to kill the enemy were brought back to him outside his own will, leaving him completely defenseless!

"What have you done with her?" a cold voice appeared in Nash's ear the next moment, attracting his gaze from his finger and seeing that Amael was holding Erys' seemingly unconscious body.

Nash opened his mouth to say something, but as he realized things turned to the worst real quick he quickly swung his fist downward with some of his essences already channeled into his fist!

BOOOOM!

The whole landscape around him in at least a mile radius shook as though a powerful earthquake appeared, creating fissures deeper than five meters while the trees close to him fell to the ground one by one without any chance to remain standing!

Amael quickly grabbed Erys' body and vanished into the air. However, instead of retreating, he used this chance to appear behind Nash and swing his dagger at his neck with a cold flash.

Seeing Amael's ghost-like movement and lightning-fast speed, Nash tried to see with his Soul Eyes if he could use his Soul Shattering Grab but quickly had to realize he couldn't.

Not only was Amael's speed too fast for him to turn around, raise his hand at his soul and activate his Ancestry Art, but he was simply unable to track his soul's movement much less Amael's real body!

It turned out his Soul Eye can only track souls on and below his Rank and not above his!

'Fuck! Should I use my Special Bloodline?' Nash thought, but as he saw that Amael's dagger was only inches away from his neck, he knew not even his Soul Flame or the fact that his speed was enhanced with his Feather Body would be able to save him now.

Hence, the only thing he could do now was to take a risk and bet everything on one line!

"Do you really think if you kill me she won't die too?"

Swish!

Watching as the dagger halted right next to his neck, its blade only touching his skin slightly that drew a small trickle of blood, Nash sighed a relief in his heart but still held a nonchalant face before Amael.

Complete silence fell on the surroundings and the only thing that was heard was the slight breeze blowing from the east now and then, causing the leaves on the trees to rustle gently.

"Do you really think I will believe your pathetic lie?" Amael asked with a cold gaze, his crimson deep eyes staring down at Nash as if he was standing on a hill.

'Well, you didn't kill me so...' was what Nash thought, but what he said indifferently was instead, "Then come and kill me. Let's see if she will stop breathing or not."

And to make things seem more valid, Nash showed a cocky but confident smile, even pushing his neck slightly against the dagger's blade to show he was not playing around.

Amael watched as blood flowed onto his dagger and remained silent. His eyes fixed on Nash's pair of blue eyes, hoping to see if he was lying or telling the truth. But even after several minutes of staring, he saw no sign of bluffing hence he could only snort and pull his weapon back.

Nash showed an even wider smile, but before he could have spoken, he watched as Amael swung his dagger and with its hilt pointing forward struck him powerful on the side of his head!

Bam!

Thud!

Nash immidieatly fell onto the ground with a painful grimace, watching as the surroundings around him began to spin like crazy. Even a sharp pain assaulted his brain, making him believe his skull was cracked open at the very moment.

"Arggh..."

While Nash was struggling on the ground as if he was experiencing the worst headache in existence, Amael put Erys down and looked around.

"So? Where are the rest of your kind?"

Nash upon hearing the question opened his eyes narrowly, and showing a mocking but somewhat painful smile, he said quietly, "You are too late to find them even if I were to tell you."

"What should that mean?" Ameal glanced at Nash's figure before his feet with a frown, but soon heard a small explosion from the distance and watched as a spaceship bolted into the sky with great speed.

"That..." Amael's eyes widened as he watched the spaceship vanish in the sky into the vast space and looked at Nash with narrowed eyes.

"So this was your plan all along? It seems you are not that of a fool in the end."

"Well, I didn't quite imagine this to turn out like this, but this was also the part of my plan. Plan B to be specific."

"What was plan A?" Amael asked calmly.

"What do you think Plan A was? To kill you obviously, fool," Nash said in a mocking tone, but what he got in exchange for those words was another strike on his head, forcing his vision and thoughts to turn all fuzzy and dizzy once again.

"Hmph... Gaining a little bit of strength and you immediately think you can oppose all realms and heavens. Your arrogance truly knows no bounds!" Amael sneered coldly and quickly raised Nash by his hair.

"But don't worry. Exactly because of this arrogance of yours why you and all those that accompanied you will end up in hell!" with those words, Amael teleported away and appeared inside a black room with a similar look akin to a jail cell, a rather modern jail cell at that.

"Argh!" feeling as he was thrown into the cell after his sword was taken away, Nash groaned with pain and wished to stand up while using his Legacy, but found it with shock it didn't respond.

'What? Why can't I use the essence in my body?' Nash looked at his hand, but no matter how much he tried to concentrate, he couldn't get his essence to move in his body.

Although he felt it was there inside his Ancient Veins, he failed to use it!

"I have sealed your Legacy so don't even dream about using it," Amael said calmly before closing the door and adding, "You will stay here. I advise you to enjoy the peace here as much as you can as you won't have the luxury to do so once we arrive back at Planet Lark."

And after saying those words, Amael walked away with calm steps, leaving Nash in the dark and cold room all alone.
