Odyssey of the Blind God

"You piece of shit! you fucking peasant! You rotten piece of human trash! Die!!!" Jilas shouted out in wrath as he saw that his flawlessly fair and perfect body had been touched by an impure and rotten being such as the human being in front of him.

Even the silk shirt he had been rewarded with by the Royal Princess was now tainted.

Jilas was fuming as a golden light emerged inside his iris. Nial was not able to see but he could clearly perceive that something bad was going to happen.

All of his senses told him that something was wrong the moment the Elf\'s hair flitted through the swirls of air Jilas\'s body released.

Nial tried to retreat, and figure out what was happening but he noticed that he couldn\'t move.

\'What?!\' Nial was stupefied as he realized that vines shot out of the ground. They coiled around his legs and tightened their hold upon him just moments later.

Pain spread through his skin, flesh, and bones as he noticed that thorns began to dig into his body as the grip of the vines tightened even further.

Nial paled and his expression grew even worse because he realized that he couldn\'t even feel his feet anymore.

\'Poison?!\' He concluded almost instantaneously. The entire situation was slowly spiraling out of hand, and all of that was just because the young Elf had attacked him without a reason.

He had not even received the chance to introduce himself, let alone clear the misunderstanding that he had probably been teleported somewhere he was never supposed to land?!

It was frustrating and it would certainly be easier to accept defeat, at least before he enraged the young Elf. Now he would be beaten to a pulp or even killed the moment he accepted defeat.

The young Elf wouldn\'t calm down that easily!

Nial was not someone who allowed others to look down on him, not anymore. He may not be able to move because the vines around his legs were strong enough to stop even the Mutant Prometheus Minotaur and lock him in place, but who said that he needed his legs?

Nial unleashed his dark energy and the Darkness Essence from within the Odyssey seed.

His Ancient Origin rings rotated rapidly as his Mana circulated through them. Nial moved his mana through his entire body while focusing on the fortification of his upper body.

Kaeldur was released, tightly enveloping Nial\'s body. His grimace spread over Nial\'s face and his second claw engulfed the remaining arm.

Gloomy and dark energy oozed out of Nial which was far intenser than the dark energy he had unleashed until now.

Nial\'s senses were overwhelmed with the desire to defeat the young Elf and emerge victorious. He was ready to give his all, and Nial was subconsciously even ready to accept the young Elf\'s death at his hands.

There was no need for him to hold back because he was much weaker than his opponent, to begin with. This was why he took the young Elf seriously, irrespective of whether he was just a youngling or a fully matured Elf as it didn\'t matter anymore.

Nial wanted to win and he knew that it was necessary to take the fight seriously if he didn\'t want to lose miserably!

His body began to writhe in pain because the potency of the energy that swirled through his body and invigorated his senses was not something he could handle, not yet.

The highly potent Mana strengthened his Darkness Essence in an unrestrained manner, reinforcing the power Nial was able to unleash with Kaeldur.

However, Nial accepted all the pain, and he embraced it tightly. From the deepest parts of his entire being, a monstrous roar emerged that shook the huge hall.

Nial\'s roar was accompanied by a shockwave of dark energy. Jilas was the closest to the shockwave which was why he faced the brunt of the attack. He was pushed back several steps before he skidded to a halt.

His eyes widened in shock, and dark red blood began to trickle down the right corner of his lip when he realized what had just happened.

Jilas\' head flicked to the spot Nial had been standing but the blind human had disappeared, while the highly endurable and poisonous Viran vines had wilted.

"What?!" Jilas uttered in shock, just to sense something above him as a devilish smiling grimace covered in darkness appeared above him.

"Never lose your cool during a fight, kiddo!" Nial advised in an eerily cold voice that didn\'t sound like him, at all.

His left claw lashed out at the petrified elf and gripped the struggling Jilas by, holding tightly onto his neck. Jilas made a choking sound as he tried to wriggle out of Nial\'s grasp. His right claw launched a high-velocity punch at the young Elf\'s face, almost breaking his nose.

\'Who cares how old you are?! Don\'t fuck with me, bitch!\' Nial thought in anger, led by the emotions of Kaeldur, the first being that had sworn allegiance to the one and only Lord of Darkness!

Kaeldur roared out in anger because its master had been attacked and humiliated. This was not something Kaeldur could accept by any means and Nial\'s body responded accordingly, channeling the anger of the being he was supposed to control.

However, just when Nial\'s punch was inches away from Jilas\' face, the young Elf\'s Body turned blurry. Tremendous energy currents were released from him as the young Elf disappeared from within his grasp.

Jilas appeared several meters away, his expressions were filled with rage and his voice was furious as he touched his neck lightly.

"YOUUU!!!!" He screamed out in hatred as his silver hair turned golden. His iris was dyed in golden color as well as he unleashed everything he had been holding back at once.

Jilas had never wanted to use all of his strength at once but the blind human was too annoying. He had to be taken out, and his existence obliterated at once, and forever!

A golden disc manifested in Jilas\' hand in a matter of seconds, followed by a second and third not long after.

When the Elves around the leading Elf saw this, their eyes widened and their expressions began to change.

"Shouldn\'t we intervene now…or do you want the human to die?" One of the Elves asked, looking at their leader with an uncertain expression.

Their leader hadn\'t wanted them to intervene before because he didn\'t want to enrage Yggdrasil or the Empress, but it was not like the death of the blind human would make things better. In fact, it might even be worse, especially since everyone realized that Yggdrasil didn\'t act against Nial despite him being a Destroyer!

"Not yet," their leader answered in a clipped tone before he ignored them again. He was more focused on the fight and the final outcome than bothering about intervening.

They had yet to reach the climax of the fight and he wanted to witness it, for the sake of his disciple and his own curiosity!

"Not yet?... If we don\'t act right now, the Spatial distorting discs will kill this human…" A different Elf cried in an alarmed tone. She had observed the fight with great interest but she was certain that the blind human had lost the battle when the golden discs manifested in Jilas\' hands.

The blind human fought valiantly and it was already astonishing enough that he had forced Jilas to release the golden discs. It was one of his strongest attacks created out of his spatial and wind affinity using a special ability, however, it was over now.

\'Spatial affinity\' Nial realized the moment the young Elf disappeared from within his grasp. He also understood that the golden discs were not something he could block, evade or survive.

The moment they locked onto him, Nial was almost certain of his death.

He didn\'t want to accept this, which left him with only one choice; to make use of his surroundings!

If he couldn\'t survive or block the attack, something or someone else would have to do that.

Nial didn\'t feel his feet anymore but he forced them to move according to his will using mana and his dark energy.

,m Within a second, Dilan had moved back dozens of meters while his dark energy covered a part of the ground inside the Holy Hall.

His black miasma was dispersed in all directions from using it over and over right from the beginning of the battle.

Dispersed didn\'t mean that the black miasma had been destroyed. As a steady and large amount of black miasma was continually being released, the entire Holy Hall was about to be shrouded in it. Due to this simple means, everyone\'s focus was slowly averted from the ground. There was nothing special to stare at the floor, after all!

Nial smiled when he visualized that not even the other Elves seemed to pay much heed to the thin line of dark energy that was slowly spreading over the ground in their direction.

"You are not only dead meat but also a coward. Fight me head-on if you dare to!" Jilas screamed out in the direction of the black miasma that was everywhere.

Jilas was not very good at multitasking and his anger was driving him insane. Adding the fact that he had to concentrate on controlling the three golden discs, it was impossible for him to perceive Nial in the black miasma. He had to speak so that Jilas\' could know the direction in which he could attack him! Or else the fight would get boring.

"Fighting someone like you, head on? No thanks! Search for some buddies your age, maybe you will find some peers in the kindergarten?" Nial\'s voice reverberated through the Holy Hall, which caused Jilas\' to smile brightly.

"Fool!" he laughed out like a maniac as he took the bait. His face was red with fury and he was ready to kill Nial, even if it might result in severe consequences.

"We\'ll see who\'s the fool," Nial replied with a sneer, chuckling as he realized that Jilas\' had already fired the golden discs, directly at his position!

\'Too bad that your brethren are right in front of me, idiot,\' Nial just thought as he visualized the Elves\' sorry fate.

He had used the dark energy and his Darkness Essence to appear behind the Elves using the thin line of dark energy that covered the ground. It drained every single bit of Nial\'s dark energy and the remaining Darkness Essence but Nial was pretty sure that it was worth it.

The Elves had been too focused on the golden discs because they were something a young Elf was usually not able to manifest, let alone control properly. Because of that distraction and their blocked sight, Nial\'s appearance behind them was something they realized only now when it was already too late.

The golden discs were already flying in their direction and evading them would hardly be possible because they were standing only a few meters in front of the portal they had emerged a few minutes earlier from.

"We have to block it…otherwise, all of us will be in trouble…the portal cannot be touched by the golden discs, not if we don\'t want the Empress to behead us," the female Elf uttered, feeling a bit distressed about the sudden change in the situation before she turned her head in Nial\'s direction.

She wore a faint smile and it looked like she was not the slightest bit distressed. Her words and her actions were the complete opposite, which confused Nial a bit. However, he had better things to do than wondering what the female Elf wanted from him.

It looked like she wanted to say something only to decide against it at the last minute.

\'He is a sly one, I see,\' She thought, assuming that Nial knew about the trouble they would face if the golden discs were to collide with the portal behind them.

Little did she know that Nial had no idea that the golden discs could destroy the portal, or at least damage it. Nial only knew that he wanted to use the Elves to destroy the golden discs so that he might be able to launch a counterattack.

He could easily tell that the Elves would evade the golden discs with simple yet highly effective movements because the discs were not exactly fast but Nial had hoped for the best.

Nial sighed in relief when the situation ended up much better than he had expected. A loud explosion resounded through the Holy Hall when the golden discs imploded within the wind spheres the Elves had manifested around them, minimizing the damage to the surrounding area.

However, what nobody, not even the stronger Elves would have expected to happen when the black miasma dispersed and revealed the Holy Hall and the hall\'s entrance, was to see the most beautiful Elf standing right in the center of it. She was seething in anger and if stares could kill, everyone in the room would be dead by now.

"Royal Princess?!?"
