Novel Bin Chapter 383 Prometheus
By advancing to the Prometheus rank, the fifth and last ability could be bound to human Originals from Jundra.
While being at the Prometheus rank the Origin rings would combine and they would form a crystal around the Mana core that would slowly turn into a seed called the Origin seed.
The moment the Origin seed was created, one would reach the peak of the Prometheus rank.
However until Nial would reach the Peak of the Prometheus rank quite some time would have to pass.
For now, it was necessary for him to create the first part of the Origin seed while combining his nine Ancient Origin Rings.
The former was not difficult because Nial\'s entire body was overflowing with the energy he had accumulated. Simultaneously, the Fairies\' Blessing, and the Heart of Darkness pulled mana from anywhere his range of perception could perceive.
The Heart of Darkness was the evolved product of Nial\'s Essence of Darkness, his dark energy, the Ankh, the Odyssey seed and the trace of Cursed Divine energy he had deprived from Sylvian before he had killed him.
It had the same functions as the Odyssey seed and the Ankh had before, just that the Heart of Darkness enhanced the functions and that it provided Nial with even more options to choose from.
Nial had yet to figure out what each of these functions could do but one thing he knew for sure was that the Heart of Darkness pulled tremendous amounts of mana in his direction.
He absorbed them readily and constructed a bridge between the nine Ancient Origin rings that would create a crystal around the Mana core in the future.
Time passed slowly, while Nial progressed rapidly. After the evolution of the Odyssey seed had been completed, it was only a matter of little effort and time before he would finish advancing to the Prometheus rank.
It may not seem like a lot but creating a tiny fraction of the Origin seed within his Mana core and connecting the nine Ancient Origin rings enhanced his strength tremendously.
Nial could clearly feel that the nine Ancient Origin rings had begun to resonate with each other. They augmented one another while the tiny fraction of the Origin seed within him enhanced the strength of his mana.
Being directly connected to one another, the Heart of Darkness and the Mana core strengthened one another.
Upon sensing this, Nial was extremely satisfied with the result he had gained from staying awake for two weeks, conquering and destroying far more than a thousand dungeons and devouring their energy.
\'It was definitely worth it…\' Nial thought before he fell into a deep slumber.
He slept for 24 hours straight and woke up confused and without a single clue to where he was. Only when Nial recalled what had happened the day before did he take a deep breath and slowly got up from the ground.
"Let\'s go back!" He told the Nightshadow Elf, who had been guarding Nial for the whole time.
Stifling a yawn, Nial stretched his body a bit, and prepared himself to dash in the direction of the Forest of Life. He was too late for his meet-up with the Royal Princess but that hardly bothered Nial.
After all, he could feel tremendous powers surging up from within him, powers that were clearly far more higher than any newly advanced being at the Prometheus rank should be able to attain!
Even without his unique power, advancing to the Prometheus rank with nine Ancient Origin rings, Origin rings that were even more powerful than Superior Origin rings was a feat in itself.
His strength was bound to be higher than other Originals at the same rank, to begin with. And the limits of his strength were something he wanted to find out right now.
Dashing through the wilderness, Nial crossed a kilometer in the blink of an eye. In less than twenty minutes, he reached the Forest of life, where a huge crowd of Elves was already waiting for him.
"Looks like I\'m a little bit too late," Nial muttered weakly as he appeared next to the Royal Princess.
Evalyne had already seen Nial from farther away. This allowed her to tell that his physical strength had increased quite a bit. She could tell that he had advanced to the Prometheus rank, but it was still astonishing to notice the changes in him when she perceived a few things as Nial arrived.
"You…what did you do in the last two weeks?" Evalyne couldn\'t help but ask while frowning deeply at him.
Many Elves had looked over at Nial when he arrived and various emotions were displayed on their faces.
Most were neutral toward Nial because they knew that Yggdrasil and the Fairy Queen wouldn\'t blindly give him their blessings and support to just any random stranger. Thus, the fact that he possessed the same power as the God of Darkness was something they could accept somehow. Their trust in the Sacred tree and the Fairy Queen was high enough for them to do so.
As for the others, they either liked him for being honest with them, despite being fully aware that the God of Darkness was not someone the Elves liked in any way, and for being in a situation where he was not at fault, or Nial was hated by a bunch of Elves.
The vast majority of the few Elves who hated him were High Elves and Sacred Elves. They were annoying, whether they disliked him or not. Ignoring them was something Nial was very good at.
"I devoured a few dungeon cores, gave birth to a second heart and I advanced to the Prometheus rank. What about you?" Nial explained nonchalantly while smiling innocently as he expanded his range of perception to figure out the number and strength of the Elves around him.
There were six different Elven races present and it looked like all of them would pay heed to Evalyne\'s command. The Elven Lords of the other Elven races had acknowledged the attack of the Heligav race on Jundra. They\'d given their permission!
They wanted to eliminate the monster-like race once and for all, which was why they accepted the Royal Princess\' proposal to unite and fight together, to begin with.
In the end, there had been a few smaller issues, including the fact that a human with an Essence of Darkness, possessing some powers of the God of Darkness had appeared in their midst.
However, that was quickly pushed aside because the Elven Empress prevented the situation from escalating. Evalyne was not sure what her mother said but from what she heard the Lord of the Nightshadow Elves and their King supported the Elven Empress in her efforts.
Whether this was because of Nial\'s existence or not was up for debate but it didn\'t really matter right now.
At this very moment, the only important factor was that they combined their forces of close to 3000 Elves to attack the Heligav race\'s settlement.
More than enough Elves would be left behind in the Forest of Life to make sure that nobody could attack their territory all of a sudden.
3000 Elves were more than enough in Nial\'s opinion. He was ready to eradicate the Heligav, the beings who had tested his patience that was wearing thin.
Nial was still angry, and he needed only a single spark for numerous emotions to erupt from deep within him, emotions that would allow him to become stronger, to go berserk, and destroy everything and everyone around him.
However, before Nial could go ahead, it looked like he had to endure the Royal Princess\' stare.
She didn\'t believe what Nial had said so nonchalantly and she gave him a disapproving look before she released her mana to scan Nial\'s body.
The first thing she noticed was the clear sound of two heartbeats instead of one from within Nial. This was enough for her eyes to widen. One of the heartbeats released dark energy and it was extremely weak, almost untraceable.
Afterward, her mind seemed to have fallen into a trance. It was hardly possible for her to regain her senses but when she did, a frown appeared on her face
\'I cannot sense his strength anymore?\' She concluded with a grunt.
Her rank would soon reach the Mid of the Deux rank, yet, she was not even able to sense the extent of a newly advanced Prometheus Original\'s strength. That didn\'t make any sense!
Princess Evalyne took a few seconds before she gave a few orders to the Elves around her.
"Finally after thousands of years, it is time for us to initiate a war against the Heligav race! Now it is US, who is in control. WE hold the reins of our fate, and we will be the doom of the Heligav, who once overwhelmed and dominated us!!" Princess Evalyne suddenly said in an imposing tone as her fingers curled into fists.
Nial smiled lightly while listening to her speech that continued after Evalyne took a deep breath. He quickly noticed that Princess Evalyne was a little bit distracted by his presence.
She looked over at him, unsure how to feel and what exactly she should do about the information Nial had shared with her just a minute ago.
Evalyne was pretty sure that Nial didn\'t lie to her but his words seemed like gibberish.
But the exact same could be said about a few sentences the Princess said in her speech.
Nial didn\'t say anything but it was obvious that this was Evalyne\'s first time waging a war against another race. She had yet to experience an all-out war against another race or to oversee a war with other races and ensure victory.
The most she had ever done so far was to fight a few beings of another race or spar with some beings of another race.
It was only obvious for her to be nervous. Nial understood that it was normal for many Elves to be nervous. They would be fighting against one of their few arch enemies in a few hours.
That should wreak havoc with their mind, make them nervous but also make them anticipate their future on Jundra. It was an unknown future, but also a bright one as long as all obstacles were removed on time!
The faster they took care of the Heligav on Jundra, the quicker they would gain the opportunity to expand their territory on Jundra.
Only humans, Elves, and Heligavs had their habitat in proximity to the Heligav.
Sooner or later, they would have fought and it was today that the war would start.
Nial and the Nightshadow Elves and Dark Elves were probably the only ones looking forward to the battle. They had various emotions to unload and the Heligav were their target as the Heligav race was a big reason for the misery they faced in the past.
After the Royal Princess had finally finished her speech, they started to travel toward the settlement of the Heligav race. They ran slow enough to preserve their stamina and energy.
But even then, it took them only eight hours before they finally saw the gigantic blue dome that was erected around the Heligav race\'s settlement.
"Is everyone ready?" Nial asked after throwing a glance around while stretching his body one last time before the battle would start.
Princess Evalyne looked over to Nial, not sure what exactly she should say, just to realize that the blind Original was not even listening anymore.
Darkness oozed out of his body, his eyes turned pitch-black and huge wings protruded out of his back.
"What does it matter if I\'m ready when you don\'t even listen…"
