Odyssey of the Blind God

The Shadowmancer kept materializing more and more Shadow Monsters and it was only a matter of time before more than a hundred thousand seemingly immortal monsters had been materialized. Dexter could easily control them and he ordered them to kill every single hostile being in the proximity.

The Shadow Monsters turned into the Orion Shelter\'s first line of defense while Ryu, Tyrant, Kaeldur, and Erio were wreaking havoc in the midst of the enemy troops. Nial clearly perceived what his Devils were doing and he couldn\'t help but smile proudly upon seeing how they were fighting together as a team.

His Devils and Ryu were doing an exceptional job in eliminating the millions of monsters that were charging at the Orion shelter.

Of course, it was not possible to restrict every single monster from passing through the lines of defense but hundreds, if not thousands of dungeon beasts were dying every second, but that was not necessary, to begin with.

The Orion Shelter was not only a beautiful place that held the charm of the most glamorous and impressive constructions of several races, in addition to the technology of the Shelturion race but it was also a terrific fortress that was equipped with the means to obliterate even Demi-Gods.

That was what the Royal Princess told him after she found out about the newest creations that had been manufactured with the combined efforts of Nial and Ophelia. They gave their utmost efforts to invent something new, but only managed to create a Forgotten Tier-3 Runic Cannon that could endure the pressure of a Broken Tier-3 Runic rocket.

Consumable items couldn\'t be used more than once either way. Thus, there was even less of a problem for Nial since he chose to create a rocket that was empowered with runic constellations which the raw material of the rocket couldn\'t endure properly. It required some effort and lots of experimenting but the Broken Tier-3 Runic rockets he created were exceptional, and even more so unique!

Nial perceived that the highly technologically advanced cannon had emerged from the inner walls of the Orion shelter. The muzzle of the cannon pointed high into the air as it was loaded with the Broken Tier-3 Runic rocket before both were empowered with a tremendous amount of energy.

The number of high-quality Origin crystals needed to empower both the rocket and the cannon was tremendous and it was not actually worth using it against a mere wave of Deux-ranked dungeon beasts. However, Nial and everyone else was willing and excited to witness the prowess of the Broken Tier-3 runic rocket.

Thus, Nial\'s lips uptilted when he perceived that both cannon and rocket had been fully empowered.

"I hope your Shadows can endure some explosions, otherwise, your hard work of the last few minutes will go to waste!" Nial couldn\'t help but tell the Shadowmancer, whose ruby-like eyes blinked at him from his shapeless body. The Devil looked straight at Nial, whose expression showed quite clearly that he was excited.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Dexter shot back, without a single clue why his new master was excited all of a sudden.

They hadn\'t done anything special until now, which meant that there was no actual need for him to be excited right now.

How could the Shadowmancer know that something big was about to happen when he couldn\'t even sense his surrounding area properly right now?

Dexter was currently in a state where his senses were still dulled due to the remaining effect of the everlasting ice. He only noticed that something big was about to happen when a bright blue star shot high in the air above the battlefield of the plateau region.

The streak of the star led straight to the Orion Shelter, which Dexter noticed as well. He diverted his focus for a second and stared at Nial, who was smiling eerily calmly as he closed his eyes.

"Witness the destruction of my newest creation, and accept me as your new master!" Nial ordered, knowing deep down that Shadowmancer Dexter was not willing to accept another master.

In fact, Dexter was not willing to accept any Master since he had been forced into the devilization, to begin with. Master Damian used the devilization as a means of punishment for all the misdeeds Dexter had done when he was still an Undead Ancient God.

Nial had seen something flash through his mind and he recalled a few minuscule pieces of information about Damian and why the God of Darkness had created the technique behind the Devilization, to begin with.

For some, the Devilization was a curse because the only thing they could perceive was that they were bound to obey their master until the end of time itself. They would die with their master, under normal circumstances, and it was not possible to harm him in any way, even if they tried, they would face severe repercussions. Disobeying their master was not possible when the Devilization was used properly, which was also the reason why Shadowmancer Dexter had always considered himself to be a Slave rather than a Devil.

However, there were also others, beings such as Kaeldur, Tyrant, and Erio, who were happy to have undergone the Devilization. It might be true that they had to obey their master\'s commands and that they couldn\'t do whatever they wanted since it was necessary to stay in a certain range around their master if not given a command to do something far away, but they had survived thanks to the Devilization.

Driven by the desperation to survive and to be granted a chance to attain true power, revenge, and everything they could only dream about, they accepted the Devilization willingly, even though they knew what would happen to them the moment they became artificially created Devils.

Nial visualized the rocket that had been launched, and he waited for it to reach the highest point in the air before inertia would inevitably pull down the rocket, under normal circumstances.

The moment the rocket reached its annex, the rocket seemed to disappear into nothingness.

However, it was just a moment later that the power inside the rocket was unleashed, creating a storm of elemental shards that exploded, crossing hundreds of kilometers in an instant, covering parts of the sky before it started to rain…elemental spears.
