Odyssey of the Blind God

Nial rode on Ryu and they marched toward the thunderous noises that resounded through the entire City.

The City Brawl had already begun and Nial was interested to find out who was going to get their hands on the Swirl of Chaos ability crystal.

He was pretty sure that the Divon races were doing a big mistake by accepting that their members had attacked the Keltia Heligav, but it was not something he should be concerned about.

It was more to his advantage, either way.

"Little Oracle, will you be fine, or should I drop you off somewhere safe around this area?" Nial asked, while lightly stroking the little Oracle's silky silver hair.

Nial didn't treat Oracle like a little child because she was not human and was completely different from the oblivious, playful, and naive human children.

He could tell that she was more mature, that her powers were already developed to a certain extent, and that she could make certain decisions for herself.

"I won't be in danger, don't worry," Oracle answered, which was enough for Nial to nod his head and divert his focus.

Her confidence reassured him to not worry about the Little Oracle, so he started patting Ryu, who was currently undergoing a drastic change.

Ever since he had consumed the Darkness Myphelia, the wingless Gryphon had become increasingly restless. Ryu's body was twitching violently every now and then, and it was quite obvious that he was undergoing some changes.

Nial could clearly sense that thanks to their connection and his precise control of Mana.

'Maybe he will evolve and grow a pair of wings?' Nial thought, hoping for the best for Ryu.

After all, it would mean a lot if his companion would become stronger. The stronger his allies, the less trouble awaited them when fighting enemies that would overpower them if they were on their own.

A faint smile appeared on his lips as he patted both the Little Oracle and Ryu at the same time.

Along with Kaeldur now even the Tyrant of Destruction had taken up residence inside his Heart of Darkness, which was beating wildly as dark energy and the Essence of Darkness swirled inside it violently.

His dark energy was expanding while his Essence of Darkness' quality improved by a large margin.

When Nial breathed out, he exhaled black fog.

The black fog spread in all directions, reaching out to the citizens he passed by.

However, the citizens didn't even look at Nial. Their whole attention was somewhere else, in the direction Nial was headed to.

"They're holding back from killing anyone, that makes it…easier, I guess?" Nial mumbled when he sensed the thousands of Originals that had begun to fight.

There was a lot of bloodsheds but nobody was on the verge of getting crippled, let alone killed. The amount of severe injuries Nial perceived all over the battlefield was laughable low. It almost looked as if the Originals of the Divon races were just playing around.

Their attempts to get their hands on the Swirl of Chaos ability crystal were miserable in Nial's opinion, especially since he was ready to kill to procure what he deemed his.

His hatred for the Heligav race was more than enough for him to be completely unbothered about the fate of their entire race. He would not give a damn if they would be annihilated or if they would keep existing. The only thing that mattered was the Swirl of Chaos and nothing else!

With that thought in mind, he released more energy and drew Kaeldur out of the Heart of Darkness. He used the Ancient Devilization to fuse with Kaeldur. His skin turned into a hide that was as black as the abyss, his eyes turned into red glowing crystals and two large horns grew out of his forehead.

His hands were slowly transforming into large claws that were sharp enough to cut through metal and the defenses of a Heavy-armored Rhinoceros at the Deux rank.

"I'm ready. What about you, Tyrant?" Nial asked out loud, and just a moment later, received a signal from within the Heart of Darkness.

Tyrant was ready, his strength was fortifying from being able to sense the pure Essence of Darkness once again and he was ready to risk his life to fight alongside his master.

Nial perceived all of this and extended his hand forward as a large glaive with a length of more than two meters manifested in it. He grasped it tightly and inserted mana inside the weapon, thereby activating a bunch of runic constellations at the same time.

"Do you want some help? I can separate the holder of the Swirl of Chaos from everyone else!" The Little Oracle, watching him intently, offered all of a sudden.

Nial turned his head to the little girl curiously.

He was not sure what to make of the Little Oracle's words. She might be powerful in a certain way but that didn't necessarily mean that she was strong enough to make sure that Nial and his allies would be able to fight the Keltia Heligav without a disturbance.

"Are you sure that you can handle it?" He thus asked, just to be glared at by the little Oracle. Nial visualized her expression quite clearly which made him frown. He didn't know the little Oracle well enough to determine whether she was capable of doing what she declared confidently.

"Just trust me!" The Little Oracle insisted.

Nial's frown turned deeper but the little Oracle didn't seem to be too bothered about this anymore.

"I can give you five minutes. If that's not enough time for you to deal with the Keltia ranked Heligav, it's not my fault!" The Little Oracle spoke provokingly.

"Alright, just go ahead and prove yourself!" Nial gave in while coming up with a different plan in his mind.

'Even without the Little Oracle's help, I would have to attack the holder of the Swirl of Chaos ability crystal. Stealing it with the use of force will be of much more help than trying to act stealthily,' He thought, knowing deep down that he was the worst at trying to be silent and running around in stealth.

Nial perceived close to ten thousand beings that were clashing with less than 300 Heligav. They were trying to overpower the Heligav using their numerical advantage. However, that didn't seem to work out because the Heligav were using the narrow alleys and streets all around them to prevent the large numbers of opponents from reaching them at the same time.

The Heligav race could be considered both, stealthy Assassins and a race with the perfect build to become Cavaliers. Their physical strength and racial traits were simply too advantageous, which made it difficult for other beings to face them in close combat.

Some of the Heligav had the special trait to turn invisible, and they made use of that very well. The Keltia Heligav who held the Swirl of Chaos ability crystal was also invisible right now. Nonetheless, one could still sense the power of the Swirl of Chaos; the Chaos that resided deep inside the crystal, and gauge his location.

Nial and everyone else knew very well where the Swirl of Chaos was located so he led Ryu through the masses of people. Huge wings manifested out of darkness spread out of Ryu's back and they ascended in the air.

Within the following minute, they crossed the large distance to the invisible Keltia Heligav, who was deep inside a narrow alley, fighting a Valxian while simultaneously trying to evade more than a dozen long-range attacks.

Nial smiled when he perceived that the Keltia Heligav had already sustained a bunch of injuries. The wounds he had sustained were not yet serious but the body parts they affected restricted the Heligav a little bit.

"Can you locate him from here amidst all the chaos, or do you have to see him clearly?" Nial asked the Little Oracle at this moment.

"You need to be within a range of five meters of the target, and I need to be able to perceive his Mana clearly," The Little Oracle answered shortly.

Nial understood what he had to do, which was why he inserted more mana inside the Broken Tier-2 runic Glaive. A huge hawk manifested out of bolts of lightning emerged at the tip of the Glaive.

The bolts of lightning spread along the Glaive's shaft and it was only a matter of time before the entire runic weapon was fully engulfed in them.

It was only at this point that Nial inserted bits of dark energy into the Broken runic armament which he threw in the direction of the invisible Keltia Heligav a mere moment later.

"That should be enough…" Nial mumbled as the Broken runic Glaive smashed down on the invisible Heligav, releasing a thunderstorm as the thunder hawk was unleashed.
