Odyssey of the Blind God

Chapter 372 Leaving



The energy that radiated from the huge holy spear suppressed Nial.

He was way too exhausted to move his body and every single motion caused his bones and muscles to creak. His face was drained of all its blood and Nial\'s body was ice-cold.

He was no better than the walking dead. It was a terrifying sight to behold and the Angel didn\'t even want to think what it must feel like to be in Nial\'s shoes right now, but Nial didn\'t give up.

His mind was mush and his body was on the brink of tearing apart due to all the strain it had to endure.

His own powers were at fault for this because they had allowed him to reach a combat prowess that he was not supposed to reach yet.

However, Nial wanted more…he needed more. He couldn\'t just give up right now.

Bella had to die, she could not escape alive!

Spitting out blood, Nial forced his body to obey him. The black heart inside him beat wildly. It absorbed a tremendous amount of mana and allowed Nial to use them.

A longsword manifested in his hand and upon activating the runic constellations, the broken runic weapon chipped while the runic constellations were fully unleashed.

Nial spit out more blood but he couldn\'t care less. In order to kill Bella, he had to destroy the huge holy spear first.

When he directed the huge torment of frigid winds that emerged from around Nial toward the holy light spear, it was slowed down rapidly.

However, despite all the efforts, it was impossible for Nial to destroy the attack in its entirety.

His range of perception barely worked right now and he could only sense the power of the holy light spear as it shot in his direction.

\'Will I really die here?\' He wondered, now accepting the reality and what was about to happen. He didn\'t want to accept it, and to die just like that.

Nial unleashed his remaining strength at once and was ready to sacrifice everything to survive and to continue fighting.

Yet, even before he could make use of his remaining power and permanently injure himself in the process, Nial sensed the arrival of a bunch of Originals.

Nial\'s legs gave in as a powerful draft swirled around him.

Tremendous wind currents engulfed the holy light spear before they compressed and destroyed it in a matter of minutes.

All of a sudden, an arm reached out for him while a sweet scent entered his nose.

"Took you long enough…" Nial could only say, forcing a weak smile on his face.

Everyone saw that he was forcing himself to smile. Nial\'s current appearance was the worst anyone had ever seen, yet, he was still conscious and ready to keep fighting, making sure that his opponents would never be able to escape his grasp.

"We were pushed back a bit," Royal Princess Evalyne said, supporting Nial with one arm.

She had sensed Nial\'s power from more than a dozen kilometers away, where she and the Elvingar Elves had tended to his mother\'s soul to assist her in the journey to afterlife, while Evalyne had been afraid of his power.

For the first time in her life, she had been truly afraid of someone\'s power…the power of a being that was merely at the Peak of the Mirae rank.

This made it quite clear that Nial was not to be underestimated. The moment he was to reach her mana core\'s rank, his combat prowess was bound to reach unimaginable heights.

The Royal Princess hadn\'t expected anything bad to happen to Nial, especially after his combat prowess exceeded hers for a short period.

Thus, she was surprised at the arrival of an Angel and an Elite Angel. While the former was already extremely powerful, the latter was a force to reckon.

Fortunately, the Elite Angel was only at the Peak of the Deux rank, indicating that he was still pretty young.

But that didn\'t mean Nial was fine anymore. He was not able to sustain his strongest combat prowess for long, which was why she had rushed over with a bunch of other High Elves, who had come to her to make sure that nothing would happen to their Royal Princess.

Simultaneously, all the powerful Nightshadow Elves and Dark Elves had emerged by Evalyne\'s side as well. They had sensed Nial\'s power clearly and they could tell that his entire existence was overflowing with rage and anger.

Even now when Nial\'s condition was at its worst, the Nightshadow Elves were clearly able to perceive the uncontrollable anger within him.

There was something else inside Nial that caused the Nightshadow Elves to look at him in fear but they still forced themselves to enter a protective stance in front of him.

They could clearly tell that something within Nial was changing and that it was even more frightening than his Essence of Darkness.

At the sight of a bunch of High Elves, Nightshadow Elves, and Dark Elves, the Elite Angel started to frown.

He was using his holy light\'s power to tend to Bella\'s injuries, which made him realize that the Essence of Darkness within her had spread out.

The Essence of Darkness wreaked havoc within Bella and the Elite Angel was only able to slow it down from spreading further.

This allowed Bella to regain her full consciousness as a pained groan escaped her lips.

The Elite Angel moved his body to allow Bella to look straight at Nial, who was panting heavily.

"This is not yet over!" Bella tried screaming at the top of her lungs, but all she could manage to utter was gibberish in a hoarse voice.

Nial was trying to spread the Essence of Darkness within Bella\'s body but it was impossible for him to continue assaulting her.

He was struggling to stay conscious, and the mana that entered through the pores all over his body allowed him to make this possible.

With endless efforts, Nial lifted his left arm, showing Bella his middle finger as he cursed her,

"Your heart will end up crushed in my hands, and your head will roll to the ground!"

His voice was low but everyone in the surrounding could hear him. It felt weird to everyone around as goosebumps crawled up their skin when Nial spoke.

His voice was colder than the Lake of Ice and it sounded like he had made a promise to himself, and the world around him.

Nial would be the cause of Bella\'s death and he openly declared it!

The Elite Angel moved backward instinctively upon hearing Nial and Bella\'s hair stood up on its end as she shuddered for a moment.

"If that\'s everything, we will take your leave," The Elite Angel spoke, looking vigilantly at all the Elves in front of them as he created a spatial portal behind him.

He didn\'t want to leave Nial alive but the situation was in their favor. The Saintess of Light would die with him the moment he was to attempt killing Nial.

The Elves had a numerical advantage and there were a bunch of stronger Elves in their rows as well.

It was impossible to kill Nial in front of the Elves and to make sure that the Saintess would survive. Thus, he took a diplomatic decision to make sure that his mission would be solved without further complications than killing a future threat.

"Young brat with the Essence of Darkness…we will meet again…and you will end up buried underground!" The Elite Angel vowed before he disappeared in the spatial portal.

The other Angel disappeared in his own spatial portal while the Elves only watched in horror.

They didn\'t have any animosity with the Angels. It was way too dangerous to start waging war with them because of the fight of two humans. The Nightshadow Elves would have attacked the Elite Angel upon hearing Nial\'s command but the young, blind Original couldn\'t speak anymore.

He had to use his whole strength and willpower to stay conscious. Mana flooded his body uncontrollably, and he could only helplessly visualize them disappearing from before him before his range of perception malfunctioned.

Nial\'s legs gave in and Princess Evalyne lost her grasp of him. His body crashed to the ground like a bag of potatoes with his face down first.

Princess Evaylyne tried to help him up but Nial didn\'t have even an ounce of strength left in his body.

He couldn\'t even attempt stabilizing his body anymore.

Two Nightshadow Elves had to hold Nial from one side each to keep him from falling down again. They tried to insert their energy inside him to give him some strength but their energies were just devoured in an instant.

Nial\'s condition didn\'t improve but they were deprived of their power at once. The black heart within Nial was slowly morphing back into the merged complex of the Essence of Darkness, his dark energy, the Ankh, and the Odyssey seed.

It was slowly transforming, which would require a long time before it would be completed. At the same time, the Cursed Divine energy that had been sealed until recently was fully unleashed now. Nial\'s condition gradually worsened due to the Cursed Divine Energy that ravaged inside his Odyssey seed.

However, instead of sealing it again, Nial accepted the potent energy of the Cursed Divine energy. He could tell that his Odyssey seed had begun to change and that it needed the Symbol of Life and the Cursed Divine energy to complete the process.

Both were essential ingredients, including the Essence of Darkness, the dark energy, and even more the basic ingredients for everything; mana.

Nial needed enormous amounts of mana, and the terrifying amount of mana he was currently absorbing was not yet enough.

He required far more than that to make sure that he would overcome everything.

"Ma…na…" Nial could barely issue when he was brought to the Forest of Life to allow the vigor of the forest to nourish him.

"You need more mana?" Princess Evalyne asked in a disbelieving voice.

There was already no mana in the surrounding for others because Nial was absorbing everything, and still, he wanted more than that?!

"Send everyone out to purchase as many Origin crystals as possible and to conquer Deux-ranked Dungeons!" Evalyne ordered all the Elves in the Forest of Life in an instant.

All the Sacred Elves, High Elves, and ordinary Elves followed her orders immediately, while the others hesitated for a moment.

Yet, the moment the Nightshadow Elves and Dark Elves appeared in the Forest of Life with the aim to massacre everyone, who didn\'t obey The Royal Princess\' order, they began to move at once.

"Why are you helping me?" Princess Evalyne asked the leader of the Nightshadow Elves, an Old Elf, who had long since reached the peak of his potential.

"Helping you? I don\'t care about you, Princess," The Nightshadow Elf answered bluntly before he reached out for her hand to place it in the center of Nial\'s chest.

"I care about what I feel within this young man!"
