Odyssey of the Blind God

The moment Nial joined the large-scale battle, chaos ensued.

While there had only been two opponents fighting the Angels, those two origin humans had been powerful enough to survive until now. They had only entered small skirmishes until today, which had at the most turned into a longer but not so dangerous battle.

Nial could clearly perceive the ravaging torrents of the Elements that were released more than ten kilometers away from him. There was an Inferno on one side of the battlefield and a Blizzard on the other. Both were natural catastrophes that were strong enough to bother even the Angels and Elite Angels at the Keltia rank, and that was exactly what they were doing.

The chaos the two catastrophes caused was already hard to fathom. Yet, the appearance of more than a hundred thousand opponents elevated the small crisis of the Angels into a catastrophe.

The numerical advantage of Nial's Army was close to a hundred to one. That was definitely more than enough to obliterate the Angels on the battlefield.

And that was why Nial didn't join the battlefield immediately. He perceived everything neatly, shrouding his body in darkness that had been reinforced by the influx of Chaos, crimson moonlight, and the Essence of Darkness.

The shroud of darkness had crimson and silver veins spreading through it, reinforcing the darkness' endurance and power output drastically. Nial felt much stronger than before but he didn't even think of using ordinary means to fight against the Angels all around him.

On the contrary, he shot to the center of the battlefield where he remained hovering high in the air and observing things. He fused his Chaos, crimson moonlight, and bits of the Essence of Darkness as he unleashed the strengthened version of Dominion. f𝘳ℯℯ𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oν𝑒Ɩ.c𝑜𝙢

"Angels, freeze in place!" Nial shouted out loud, his vocal cords and the words that escaped his lips amplified to the extreme.

He amplified his vocal cords and his words with the fused energy and simultaneously activated the Dominion ability with it.

Because of those amplifications, his throat and mouth began to ache in near-unbearable pain. The potency of the reinforced Chaos was still beyond his capacity and he was struggling to use it to his liking.

That was a little discouraging but not something that could dampen Nial's spirits. Ever since he had fought against Dilan, his mindset had changed a little. Was it truly an inconvenience to feel a little bit of pain if that was necessary to eliminate all of his problems in an instant? Nial didn't think so. He was fine with pain as long as the cause of his pain brought him closer to his goal.

His pain was doing exactly that right now as the vast majority of Angels stopped moving all of a sudden. The effect of his Dominion ability wore off after a second or two for the majority of them but that was more than enough for the Army of Shadow Monsters to wreak havoc and tear apart dozens, if not hundreds of Angels.

Nial was satisfied with the result that unfolded in front of him. He noticed that his sudden interference in the battle of the two parties attracted some attention but he couldn't really be bothered about that. Nial shot to the ground where he merged with some shadows while exerting the Grasp of Eclipse technique.

He intended to reappear behind the Elementalist at the Keltia rank but changed his target under the influence of his dark energy that went on a rampage, exuding more darkness from within his body.

There was only one Devil inside his Heart of Darkness and Nial didn't hesitate to undergo an Ancient Devilization with that Devil. Instead of joining the battle, the Devilized Roc had returned to Nial's Heart of Darkness.

Nial fused with it, causing huge feathered wings to grow out of his shoulder blades, followed by his fingers turning into large claws. As he re-emerged from the shadows, his appearance changed drastically, and the same could be said about his strength.

The Devilized Roc was extremely powerful, and the Ancient Devilization fused their bodies temporarily, combining their strength to a certain extent. ƒ𝘳𝗲𝑒𝒘𝐞𝚋𝚗𝐨v𝘦l.𝒄o𝐦

Thus, the moment Nial emerged behind the golden-haired woman, whose entire being seemed to exude a sense of purity and holiness, he slashed at her, digging his claws deep inside her shoulder.

It was the first time that Nial got his hands on Bella's blood since she killed his mother, and it was about time that she would pay for what she did in the past, reliving every torturous pain his mother had gone through.

"Die, bitch!" Nial thundered as he made a somersault in the air while tightly holding onto Bella's shoulders. The Saintess of the Angels didn't even get time to react as she was already flung to the ground. Her golden eyes glowed brightly and time around her seemed to slow down in response just for a being overflowing with darkness to manifest in front of her.

It was not difficult for Bella to determine who the being of darkness was, especially since that harrowing figure haunted her in her dreams at least once a month.

Goosebumps spread all over her body as Nial inched closer with a velocity she couldn't counter. Even fighting against the Mythician Origin Human was not even as dangerous as encountering Nial, whose entire being seemed to be consumed by the dark energy that occupied every single cell in his body, flooding him with rage and wrath.

Nial knew that he was slowly being devoured but he didn't care about that at this moment. His claws dug deep inside her flesh once again before he propelled her to the ground with a shocking velocity.

The force of their impact was enough to obliterate parts of their surrounding area. Of course, none of them could be bothered about this as Nial continued to slash at the Saintess of the Angels.

He only stopped attacking Bella when he noticed that she was smiling faintly.

"Reflection!" She screamed all of a sudden and a tremendous amount of holy light was released toward Nial explosively. It destroyed the darkness that oozed out of him and flung him high into the air.

All of a sudden his upper body and left shoulder were riddled with claw wounds, the same wounds as Bella had been inflicted by him.

'So that's how it is?' Nial thought to himself while using the dark energy within him to temporarily stop his bleeding.

Bella was just about to get up from the crater her impact had caused when the earth around her seemed to consume her. A bubble of water formed around her head while her arms and legs were slowly getting buried in the earth that seemed to cling to her. At the same time, an icicle the size of a small car had formed hundreds of meters above Bella's head.

Nial perceived blazing flames within the icicle and a faint smile formed on his lips as he witnessed how a very familiar person finished his last attack on the young woman who had caused lots of trouble.

Bella had been both of their friends in the past. However, she was their opponent right now. That was something the Elementalist understood very well. Many things changed in recent years, including his understanding of the relationship between people who were supposed to be friends forever just for a single incident to tear them apart, forever.

He sighed deeply as he waved his arm downward. The icicle that mantled blazing flames shot downward with a horrifying velocity and it crashed onto the Saintess of the Angels, whose golden eyes widened even further.
