Odyssey of the Blind God

Nial didn't like the Heligav race. They were arrogant, selfish and they acted however they pleased.

Thus, he didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt while attacking the Keltia ranked Heligav with all his might.

Tyrant's mace crushed down on the Heligav's head, while Nial's compressed balls of darkness collided with the Original's upper body.

The power of the darkness balls was extreme due to their destructive nature. Nial's Essence of Darkness and his dark energy were extremely powerful and both had several unique features that would be unveiled the moment they came in contact with the wielder's opponents.

But the Keltia Heligav still thought that he had a chance. After all, Nial was merely at the Mid Prometheus rank. His attacks were supposed to be only fast enough to injure beings at the Deux rank.

It was because of Nial's lower rank that the Keltia Heligav didn't sustain severe injuries even if the darkness balls had been fired at the Original with a rapid velocity.

"You're a weakling!!" The Keltia Heligav roared in a seething tone when he regained control of his body. The Tyrant of Destruction was trying hard to prevent the Heligav from moving but his physical strength was not high enough to make this possible.

The Heligav slashed the heavy battle axes at Tyrant, who was too slow to evade the attacks. In an attempt to save himself, the Tyrant of Destruction's physical and solid body turned blurry.

The battle axes swung through the blurred image of the Tyrant, whose body transformed into black fog.

"What?!" A shocked exclamation escaped the lips of the thunderstruck Heligav, but it was not soon after that he was forced to get back to his senses.

Black marks appeared on the upper body of the Heligav, exactly at the location where he had been hit by Nial's darkness balls. The black marks spread out like cobwebs, covering big parts of the Heligav's upper body and a devious smile appeared on Nial's face.

"Looks like Kaeldur's powers became a lot stronger after Tyrant joined us!" Nial mumbled when he perceived the highly contagious power of Kaeldur.

It was not a power that was supposed to destroy his opponent from within, but more a power that weakened the targeted being's defenses. Nial would be granted the possibility to heavily injure the Heligav as the black plague spread.

That was something he had hoped for when using the power Kaeldur had never shown until now. Nial's smile widened even further as he absorbed the black fog, which had previously been the Tyrant of Destruction.

He released an exorbitant amount of bloody red miasma with the combined use of [Hodur's Heir] and [Blood Eclipse Moon]. The power that had accumulated within the Blood Eclipse Moon was tremendous.

The Blood Eclipse Moon had become a humongous power storage, and Nial was ready to make use of all of it today!

"You should have given me the Swirl of Chaos when you still had the chance!" Nial smirked while blood burst out of the black hide that covered his entire body.

He tried to make use of Ancient Devilization with both the Tyrant of Destruction and Kaeldur at the same time. He wanted Kaeldur's unique features and Tyrant's exorbitant strength to overwhelm the Heligav, but he ended up injuring himself severely in the process.

While exhaling, Nial released a tremendous amount of Crimson Dark energy. Hundreds of needles manifested out of crimson dark energy were created, and they were fired in the Keltia ranked Heligav's direction.

The Heligav slashed his battle axes in Nial's direction, creating powerful air currents. The air currents were strong enough to divert the trajectory of the crimson darkness needles.

Nial frowned when he perceived this, but he had more important things to take care of.

He retracted Tyrant's power back to the Heart of Darkness while using only Kaeldur's arms which he had manifested with Ancient Devilization.

The Devil's two arms changed in shape. They now morphed into chainsaws that rotated rapidly. After activating the Blood Eclipse Moon, he empowered his body, including the two chainsaw arms. Crimson-colored veins spread through Nial's black hide and his muscles bulged.

Nial's physical strength increased drastically, making a malicious grin appear on his face as he activated Dominion as well.

"Freeze!" He ordered in a thunderous tone while using a tremendous amount of mana.

A humongous mace manifested in Nial's hand while the Keltia Heligav froze for a quarter of a second. This was not long but more than enough for Nial's arm to expand and for a terrifying amount of Essence of Darkness and dark energy to merge with the mace that smashed down on the Heligav's shoulder.

Nial had targeted the already severely injured shoulder of the Heligav to further worsen the Original's condition. However, what neither Nial nor the Keltia Heligav had expected to happen was to see Kaeldur's mark spread out through the Heligav's shoulder, further weakening his defenses.

Thus, the moment the humongous mace smashed down on the Heligav, Nial was able to inflict hellish injuries on the Original, nearly killing him.

The Heligav's shoulder finally broke, and blood gushed out of his now limply-hanging arm. An expression of utter disbelief and horror swept through the Heligav as he was smashed to the ground.

"I'm not done yet!" Nial shouted at this moment. He created a bunch of attacks with the use of his Essence of Darkness, the Blood Eclipse Moon's crimson power, and the use of more Broken runic armaments.

There was no need to hold back, especially now that he had an upper hand. The situation was in his favor with the Keltia Heligav being heavily injured and lying on the ground.

The mace Nial had held before dispersed and Tyrant was summoned, holding the same mace in his huge hands. The Tyrant of Destruction pulled his arm backward, released a large amount of dark energy, and swung the mace down upon the Heligav.

Meanwhile, Ryu didn't remain idle either. The wingless Gryphon had been preparing his attack from the moment they had entered the isolated space.  A large ball of grayish dark energy was being formed in his wide-open beak.

Ryu had accumulated and compressed the vast majority of power his body harbored in order to initiate an attack.

He unleashed everything at once, creating a large darkness beam that crashed onto the head of the Heligav. The Heligav staggered back due to the unexpected attack. A pained groan left his lips but it was no sooner that the situation got even worse.

Nial had terminated the Ancient Devilization with Kaeldur. He allowed Kaeldur to emerge from the Heart of Darkness and to wreak as much havoc as he desired.

And that was exactly what Kaeldur did by creating a flood of darkness, which he threw straight toward the Keltia rank Heligav.

Kaledur's darkness flood was fully focused on inflicting more lethal damage. Thus, the moment the flood of darkness splashed onto the Heligav, his whole body was covered in the marks of weakness.

The highly durable and tough hide that covered and protected the Heligav was altered and weakened, allowing Ryu, Tyrant, Nial, and even Kaeldur to inflict numerous injuries upon their common enemy.

Ryu's darkness beam ended after a few seconds and he switched his means of attack to using his claws and beak. Meanwhile, Tyrant kept using the humongous and overly heavy mace to smash it onto the Heligav.

As for Kaeldur, the Devil used the dark energy inside his body to initiate all kinds of long-range attacks. After the Heligav's hide had been weakened, it was only a matter of time before his defenses would crumble.

It was already a wonder that the Heligav could evade every other attack of Tyrant, and get up from the ground.

Nial hadn't expected his attacks to slow down his opponent in such a short time, but it was even more obvious that the Heligav was able to overcome all obstacles, get up from the ground, and attack once again.

The Heligav's entire body was covered with marks of weakness, a severe injury had been inflicted on his face, the wounded shoulder was getting worse with time, and the mana that radiated from the Heligav was slowly getting weaker.

However, even then, the Heligav didn't seem to consider giving up. On the contrary, it looked like the Heligav was just getting started.

His eyes were slowly turning red, steam was released through the marks of weakness and the body of the Keltia Heligav began expanding.

The power of the Original continued to increase and the weakening mana fluctuations gained strength once again.

'Seems like it is not yet done!' Nial thought with a grim expression.

'Good that the five minutes are not yet over!'
