Odyssey of the Blind God

"Isn't it obvious that I am not going to tell you what kind of mission Hana and Sabrina will have to complete?" Kristine asked, smiling weirdly at Nial. She felt like Nial was asking for trouble but the innocent look on his face made it hard for her to actually believe that.

Nial seemed like a big headache, especially because he did whatever he wanted. There was nothing he wouldn't do as long as he desired it enough. This was quite troublesome and Nial didn't see that anything was wrong with this.

"If you don't want to tell me about it, that's fine," Nial nodded his head accepting Kristine's answer quite easily. He was seated in a big office, where everyone was currently seated as well. Maline and Miles were talking to Sabrina, who had finally taken off her veil.

It was the first time for Hana to see Sabrina without her veil and her first impression was that her friend looked like a beauty.

Nial paid no attention to her appearance. She had long brown hair, flawless skin just like him and her facial features were beautiful without a doubt but that was just something Nial visualized to figure out that she was unscathed and that there was no scar on her body.

Sabrina's body and the highly-potent mana it executed subconsciously were quite interesting but Nial didn't pay too much attention to it.

His parents had already told him that Sabrina had awoken some sort of special constitution when she awoke her Origin.

"But if something were to go wrong, message me immediately… I will come over to bring them back from wherever you send them …." Nial said in a serious tone. He knew that Kristine didn't really take him seriously but that was not something he could be concerned about. If push came to shove, she would definitely ask him for help…though, Nial hoped that this time would never come.

"Yeah, you won't be able to go there buddy," Kristine laughed lightly, not taking Nial seriously just as he had expected.

"Oh, believe me, I can and I will, even if I have to break into the dimensions where Trials of the Gods are held," Nial said with determination that attracted some attention from all the people around him when he spoke about some 'Trials of the Gods'.

None of them knew what the Trials of the Gods, which Nial was talking about, were. This was also why Kristine could only smile lightly as she gave him a final answer after she looked at the time.

"That's weird but whatever. Just use the next half an hour to speak with your sister. I don't really care what kind of plan you and your family are hatching but keep in mind that I want Sabrina's identity to remain a secret. If you cannot give me that reassurance, I will take her away again!"

Nial felt that Kristine was the weird one and not him but it was not as if he could just beat her up and flee with Sabrina and his parents. There was no need to do that, to begin with, and it would only cause more harm than good.

Because of that, he got up and went over to his family, where he began to spend the next half an hour by lightly sharing what he had gone through. He asked Sabrina, how she had been and what exactly her special constitution was.

With these light questions, Nial was able to get small details out of Sabrina, which made things much easier for him to understand. Damian's memories were apparent in his mind and Nial went through them to figure out if her constitution was something the Late God of Darkness had known about, if it was something dangerous Nial had to pay attention to, or if the constitution was actually something completely different.

In most cases, humans compared special constitutions to Innate abilities because both would awaken with the Origin, however, in reality, it was not the same.

Constitutions were more like Special traits the body possessed such as superhuman strength, or an extraordinary Stamina regeneration. As for Innate abilities, they were special powers that could be passive but also actively used.

Both Special traits and Innate abilities would become stronger as long as the wielder advanced in the ranks but Special traits would never hold memories. On the other hand, Innate abilities were something mysterious and had the possibility to store the memories of their previous wielders!

The more time passed, the easier it was for Nial to find out what was going on. Damian's memories were of exceptional use, and they calmed Nial quite a bit.

When half an hour had elapsed, a golden portal manifested in front of Sabrina. It appeared out of nowhere and didn't require the slightest bit of mana to be sustained. Miles and Maline jumped up the moment the portal appeared in front of them.

They were frightened and thought that a dungeon portal was forming right in front of them. However, after seeing that Nial and the others were extremely calm, they were stupefied.

"What is going on here?!" Miles asked when he returned to his senses. He could clearly tell that a golden portal had manifested in front of his dear daughter, while a dark-purplish portal had manifested in front of Hana.

"That's interesting…these portals don't belong to some Innate ability's traits…fascinating…" Nial mumbled as he reached through the golden light of the golden portal. With his precise range of perception and his [Mana Sense] fully focused on the golden and the purple portal, Nial attempted to get his hands on a few pieces of information.

It was not easy but thanks to Damian's memories, he was capable of forming a few theories in his mind.

"Yuu won't be able to figure out what exactly these portals are, so don't even try, Nial," Kristine advised him in a mocking tone while a prideful expression formed on her face. However, her expression froze when she noticed that Nial didn't really seem impressed by her words.

"Is that so? Okay then," He merely said, wiping away the triumphant smile from Kristine's face.

'I wonder how they were able to activate their Legacy…' Nial wondered when he found out what exactly Hana and Sabrina were doing.

'This is definitely the Legacy portal created by a special existence that can only be entered by those with the same special condition….Thanks for showing that to me directly, smartass,' He shook his head, thinking that Kristine was a bit too arrogant but he didn't say his thoughts out loud.

After all, he was not suicidal enough to insult a Prometheus Original, not directly at least, and it was not necessary for him to reveal that he actually knew where Sabrina was going and what she was going to do.

"She will become a lot stronger when she returns… that is more than enough for me to know!" Nial replied before he turned his attention back to his sister, whom he hugged tightly.

He looked at Hana and instead of leaving her hanging, Nial went over to her to give her a hug as well. Since he heard her sad remark when she spoke about how nice it must be to have a family, Nial felt a bit sorry for her. After all, it felt almost as if they were showing off their family bond.

That was one of the reasons why he went over to hug Hana. Another one was the simple fact that he was the only one, who could hug her without worries.

"Get your Charm under control, otherwise, you will be stuck with me…haha," Nial said jokingly before he turned serious and added,

"But seriously, don't die and take care of yourself if you don't want your friends and your master to get sad!"

Everyone looked weirdly at Nial when he hugged Hana. Miles looked at his son pridefully while Maline could only remember that nobody dared to touch Hana without hesitation and after taking a lot of precautions.

Hana was the only one who was still fully covered by her veil and the mana isolation robe, but even that was usually not enough for others to be able to hug her.

Kirlia knew this very well, which was also the reason why her eyes widened when she realized that Nial was totally unaffected by Hana's Charm.

Hana stiffened for a moment because she thought that her condition would be activated and that Nial would be affected by it but when she recalled that Nial didn't face any issues with her condition, she lightly hugged him back.

"Okay…I will take care of myself…" She reassured Nial before letting go of him. Hana was embarrassed when she saw the cheeky smile on Sabrina's face, which was why she forgot to wave to everyone and quickly rushed inside the purple portal.

"I didn't even know that you became a gigolo, Nial," Sabrina teased crudely before she giggled lightly when she saw the confused expression on her brother's face.

"Whatever, just pay attention to yourself as well. If you get injured, mom and dad will be sad…and I will lecture you enough so that you will never dare to do something foolish again!" Nial warned her and gave her a small smile.

"Let's have a spar when you're back. I want to show you how impressive your big brother is!" He declared before he jokingly flexed his biceps.

Sabrina giggled again, while everyone else could only frown lightly. Nial was very childish when he was around his sister but that was exactly what created the firm bond between the brother-sister duo.

"I will go now, see ya!" She said while trying hard not to giggle before she disappeared into the golden portal that vanished not long after she entered it.

Both the golden and the purple portal disappeared, and Maline began to sob quietly because her daughter had been taken from her once again.

'Mom, you will have to get accustomed to that. We are adults now and we want to become stronger,' Nial thought weakly, wondering how his mother would react when he would leave in 13 months.

He didn't even know how long he would be away from Jundra. But the same applied to Sabrina's Legacy. Nial did not have the slightest clue of how long Sabrina would take before she returned and the same applied to Hana.

"How about we go back to business now that we have time?" Kristine suddenly asked, pulling Nial out of his train of thoughts. He turned back to the table where Kristine was seated.

She looked quite calm and was not actually bothered, let alone worried that something bad may happen to Sabrina. Legacies were definitely not something one could take lightly and Nial was pretty sure that Kristine knew about that.

'Does the Heaven's Gates organization have connections to some Gods? Were they able to activate Sabrina and Hana's Legacies because of that…or were they just lucky and found some special items or books with the knowledge about how Legacies are activated?'

Nial was a bit bothered because he didn't know from where the Heaven's Gates got to know about Legacies but he chose not to mind it for the time being.

Sabrina was not there anymore and Nial was pretty sure that there wouldn't be a problem for him to reunite with her again.

That was why he could easily remain calm as he nodded his head.

"Alright, let's get back to our business then!"
