Odyssey of the Blind God



It was over.

That was what Nial thought when he felt Damian's guidance.

He couldn't hear his Master and neither was he able to perceive his existence. However, what Nial was able to feel was clearly Damian, his mastery of the Spear, and the Ancestral techniques he had used to defeat the other Advocates.

"Finally…" He mumbled, taking a deep breath in the midst of the sea of flames.

The Advocate of the Pryard stared at the sea of flames with satisfaction. Nial had been buried in it and it was only a matter of time before his energy was drained and his screams resounded in the divine hall.

It was at this moment.

Nial shot out of the flames, which were seemingly devouring him.

Oddly enough, the flames didn't harm him anymore. On the contrary, it looked like the devouring flames were being devoured!

Was that even possible?!

The Advocate stared at Nial in shock. He was able to devour the devouring flames using his Cursed Divine Ability. Using his Heart of Gluttony, he could even turn it into a different type of reinforced dark energy.

This type of dark energy could be used by Nial. After all, the Divine Realm only restricted the usage of Mana and energies that had been created by mana!

His nutrition and the devouring flames weren't created from mana!

The Advocate snorted. As far as she was concerned, Nial was struggling to stay alive. He was desperately hanging onto the last trace of hope. There was no way he would be able to escape after his arms and legs had been charged in the devouring flames.

He was already severely injured, his arms and legs half burned, and a big hole in his left shoulder.

The devouring flames were still hanging onto him, burning Nial. He was not able to devour all-devouring flames because they were also devouring Nial in return. It was a desperate struggle between two beings that could devour each other.

Nial's body began to shake wildly as he emerged out of the sea of flames. The flames enveloping him were still bothersome but Nial released a bit of his nutrition to regrow Goldy's golden scales all over his body, followed up by darkness to push the devouring flames away from him.

The flames were not able to touch his body anymore, and with a swing of the Eternal Darkness Spear, Nial ended up destroying the devouring flames. They vanished into thin air.

Some of the devouring flames of the sea of flames pursued him but Nial twisted his body, evading the flames before he cut them in half.

Nial continued to escape the devouring flames that lost their target.

The flames crashed into each other and they devoured one another until there was only one flame left.

Nial didn't stop even after that., not even for a fraction of a second.

He changed direction once the sea of flames was of no danger anymore and changed altitude with a simple move of his legs. Meanwhile, he began to release reinforced dark energy blade with the Eternal Darkness Spear.

'How much energy do you have left? Didn't you go overboard by releasing your Divinity after summoning the two Divine Orbs?'

Nial was not too sure how much energy the creation of the sun-like sphere required. However, it disappeared after manifesting the sea of devouring flames. That usually meant the consumption of energy was too high to keep the sun-like sphere manifested.

Adding the consumption of energy originating from her fully unleashed Divinity, the Advocate of the Pryard should slowly be at her limit.

Her physical limit was already crossed by transforming too often, but the limit of her being as Divine God hadn't been reached yet.

Nial figured that by recalling Damian's memories. The Late God of Darkness fought against far more Advocates than Nial. Thus, Damian was fully aware when an Advocate was at his limit and when it was time to strike.

His body shook constantly and a faint smile formed on his lips.

The surroundings' searing heat dispersed and the sky of the divine realm regained its former color. At the same time, Nial felt joy and sorrow blossoming inside his heart.

'Sorrow? Why would I feel like that? No…that's not my feeling…that's what the Advocate feels right now!'

He landed on the ground and grasped the Eternal Darkness Spear tightly. No matter what the Advocate felt, Nial should ignore it. He had to defeat the Advocate and kill her for good if he wanted the Universe to have some more time.

The Eternal Darkness Spear vibrated violently. 

'Is that you, master?' Nial wondered, not really believing his own words. The Late God of Darkness was certainly not stored inside the Eternal Darkness Spear. That would be weird and nonsensical.

Nial diverted his focus back to the Advocate after a moment.

He heard her rough breathing and the weak flapping of her wings. It was proof that she had pushed herself to execute the last attack.

"Good, very good. You are much better than I expected. Even Damian wouldn't have been able to affect me like you are doing, not while you're not at the same rank as a Divine God, at least," The Advocate of the Pryard said, her voice rough and heavy.

'Not even Damian would be capable of that? What nonsense are you spouting? I know that he beat the shit out of you before the other Divine Gods arrived…' 

"With the release of your final trump card, both sides have used up their remaining trump cards. Isn't that exciting?" 

'Trump Cards? I am not done yet though?'

The Advocate of the Pryard must have used up most of her divinity with the last attack. Meanwhile, Nial activated the Power of the True Golden Dragon God. That was pretty big news.

However, Nial was clearly at an advantage. The Advocate's attack was already over, yet the Power of the True Golden Dragon God was still active.

At the same time, there was Psy's stored Power. Nial had yet to use Dominion on the Advocate as well. That meant, the Advocate probably forgot about this power of his. She wouldn't be thinking about his Dominion ability, if she knows about it, in the first place.

Nial held the initiative, though he had to keep his guard up. There was no way that the Advocate would allow herself to be killed just like that.

The thought of the battle's end caused Nial to tense up.

His life was standing on the line, and he knew that perfectly well. 

The battle wouldn't end until one of the two sides was obliterated. Meanwhile, the other side wouldn't be unscathed either.

However, Nial was not scared anymore. He was not afraid of what awaited him. The despair he had felt before disappeared. 

The battle would end soon, and he was fully prepared for it!
