Odyssey of the Blind God

Fighting the Veilures was much more helpful than Nial could have expected.

He had to comprehend Chaos in its entirety which meant that analyzing it with his dark energy and mana perception alone was not enough.

That was also why he used the energy distortion device he had manufactured in the territory of the Demihumans to seal his dark energy and make it near impossible to use his energy. He could still fly and move freely in space but that was already it.

Fighting against the Veilures without a trace of dark energy was what he had planned to do to comprehend more about the Chaos. After all, he could still use the Chaos that had accumulated inside his body, even though his dark energy was sealed.

Furthermore, he needed to use his other senses to fight the Veilures with their decayed Chaos.

The Veilures he first faced weren\'t weak. He joined a group of ten Gods who safeguarded a large Veil and waited for the first batch of more than a hundred Veilures to emerge from them.

When they appeared, Nial was one of the first to react. He jumped from Shadow\'s back to reach the Veilures in an instant. Wilding a Spear with a long and pointed blade, he pierced to the front in an instant.

His attack hit the target with a loud thump, but no pained sound rang through the surrounding as a response. Nial frowned, pulled his body down, and ducked. Razor–sharp claws whizzed past his head, barely missing his head. Twisting the blade at the target, Nial tried something just to end up pulling the spear tip out of the Veilure. He pushed his feet from the Veilure\'s stomach to shoot further downward in space.

Two Veilures were already waiting there for him. Nial knew that which was also why he gained the necessary momentum to pierce the spear in the head of one of the Veilures.

While his arm lunged forward, he twisted the spear a little as well. A whitish-silver membrane coated the tip of the spear as it was twisted and pierced into the head of the Veilure Nial had targeted.

The Veilure couldn\'t react in time. Its body collapsed and it began to float through space, unmoving.

\'Was that only a Veilure at the Keltia rank?\' Nial wondered at this moment. However, he didn\'t have enough time to make sure that his opponent had actually been weaker than expected when his ears perked up. He pushed to the side while continuing to grip the spear tightly.

The dead Veilure was still attached to the spear\'s tip and it was hurtled around when Nial moved.

The body was in front of him, seemingly as if it was a meat shield…thought a useless one.

A blast of decayed chaos shot toward Nial, easily piercing the dead Veilure in the process. Nial twisted his body but he miscalculated the velocity of the decayed Chaos blast and his reaction speed a little.

The side of his abdomen was hit by the blast and burned. Decayed Chaos spread over to him, entering his body through the burned Skin.

Nial used his own Chaos to restrict the decayed chaos. They began their own fight inside Nial\'s body. This restricted his usage of Chaos quite a bit. The Vengeance of Chaos had to remove the decayed chaos that attempted to spread through his entire body to decay him from within.

Left with nothing but his physical strength and senses, Nial took a deep breath. In space, his senses were extremely restricted. Sounds didn\'t travel wide, and the exact same was the case for smells and vibrations.

In fact, he couldn\'t really sense vibrations at all. The only advantage he had was the Veilure\'s body being composed of Chaos. He could instinctively tell where decayed chaos was located and perceive the fluctuations of chaos that reached him. These fluctuations were just like vibrations, giving him a rough estimation of his opponents\' position and what they were going to do.

Of course, it was not perfect, but it was a pretty decent way to fight the Veilures and learn more about himself, the Veilures, the Vengeance of Chaos, and decayed Chaos.

That was everything Nial wanted to achieve, in the first place. Thus, he continued to fight valiantly.

His body twisted and turned, evading the incoming attacks. Four more decayed chaos blasts were shot at him before the Veilures realized that he could depict and evade them easily. The first time seemed to have hit only because Nial didn\'t expect a blast to be released at him.

With that in mind, close to ten Veilures encircled him. They attacked from every side, restricting his space of evasion drastically while attacking strategically. That caused Nial to feel a big headache.

He was sweating buckets, evading every attack while impatiently searching for an opening to attack. However, that was not easy.

But while it was not easy, it was not exactly impossible either. His physical strength was much higher than the Veilures, who were only at the Keltia and Mythician rank.

Nial had restricted his combat prowess drastically by sealing his dark energy in space, but his physical strength was definitely not less impressive. In fact, using his instincts, experiences, and the combat styles he studied for a long time, Nial created the opening he desired slowly.

It took a while but the Veilures around him were slowly falling to the high-velocity thrusts he issued every now and then.

From a defensive position, Nial changed rapidly, lunging out. He killed one Veilure before turning back to his defensive stance, evading and blocking all incoming attacks before another opportunity unveiled itself.

That way, Nail was slowly growing more accustomed to fighting the Veilures without his dark energy.

Even though he had fought without dark energy for more than ten years, things were still a little bit different in the known parts of the Universe.

He still had to train because he was not yet close to perfection when it came to fighting energyless.

In fact, Nial was not sure if it was possible to become perfect at something like that.

But one could still try.

That was all it took!"
