Odyssey of the Blind God

Nial's entire body was shrouded in darkness as he rushed forward.

He released some of his Darkness Essence as well, enveloping it to enhance the Elvensword even more than his dark energy was capable of.

Kaeldur was not manifested because Nial didn't see a use in allowing him to manifest. It would just drain him of the dark energy and Darkness Essence he had accumulated painstakingly.

The Elvensword shot forward when Nial jumped high in the air the moment he reached the Lava Golem.

It was extremely slow, giving Nial and Sabrina the opportunity to jump up in the air at eye-level with the dungeon beast.

Nial locked eyes with the Golem and with a wicked smile thrust the Elvensword through the chest of the Laval Golem. It reacted by flaring up the flames that shrouded its entire body.

The flames and Lava which the Golem was made of were lurching after Nial, whose expression changed drastically.

In response to the counterattack, Nial used up more of his dark energy to protect his body and create a defensive shell around himself.

His thrust seemed to have been blocked rather easily, and both the dark energy and the Darkness Essence he had used to mantle the Elvensword seemed to be drained swiftly.

Thus Nial released the dark energy in a burst to injure the Lava Golem while he retracted the Darkness Essence the moment he retracted the Elvensword.

He felt the extreme heat coming off of the Elvensword and began to frown.

'The Elvensword is definitely not the right choice to kill this annoying beast…the runic solution I used is not highly resistant to heat and flames. It will burn and destroy the runic constellations if I prolong the fight with the Lava Golem!' Nial concluded, his expression turning sour.

The Elvensword would melt moments after the runic constellations would get destroyed. This was quite frustrating, especially since Nial knew that he hadn't thought of engraving even e a single runic armament with highly fire-resistant runic solutions yet.

The materials he used were also quite commonly found and had a relatively low melting point. Lava was more than hot enough to melt them in a moment.

Nial frowned because the Lava Golem seemed to be more problematic than he had expected.

However, when he saw what his little sister was doing, Nial realized that they wouldn't have to fight much longer before the Lava Golem would die.

Sabrina released a huge amount of compressed mana through the Runic Mace, which began to glow brightly as the [Gravitation] runic constellation was used to its limit.

Smashing the Runic Mace downward, Sabrina rammed it hard into the Lava Golem's head.

The Lava Golem staggered backward and swayed dangerously while Sabrina maintained an iron grip on the runic Mace and pushed it further down as the ball of the mace tore through its head, sinking down before getting stuck in the Lava Golem's chest.

Nial was astonished when he visualized the situation in front of him and grew concerned when he saw the excited smile on her face.

'She is about to do something stupid!' He could tell at once. Instinctively, he unleashed Kaeldur. He shrouded Nial's body at once as he shot forward.

He jumped upward, and reached out for Sabrina, the little sister, who had released all the mana she had compressed within her.

[Mana Compression] was fully activated and released through the Mace. Sabrina had forcefully overclocked the broken runic constellation [Gravitation].

This ought to be impossible, with the materials that had been used to forge the weapon and the runic solution used to engrave the runic constellation. But somehow it happened.

Thousands of tiny cracks formed on the now melting Mace, and Nial barely reached Sabrina, who instinctively let go of the Mace.

She smiled brightly at her doing, while Nial could only use all his dark energy to supply Kaeldur with it.

Both Nial and Kaeldur had become one, but they had different mana vessels nonetheless. With the dark energy, Nial had instinctively transferred to Kaeldur, huge wings of darkness sprouted from their back.

They shrouded Sabrina tightly, protecting her from the destruction her actions were bound to cause.

Overclocking the broken runic constellation caused the Mace to get heavier and heavier. Simultaneously, the Mace's material was unable to hold the pressure from all the weight and heat at the same time.

It burst open and exploded, causing a devastating shockwave to fling Nial and his sister through the air.

Nial didn't even think of opening his wings. His back ached heavily and he could tell that some of the Lava Golem's core essence, which was the hottest part of the beast, had splattered on him.

He grit his teeth and silently cursed his sister for fighting so recklessly.

'If you don't know what your weapon does when you use too much pure mana, think before you act!!' Nial shouted inwardly just before they smashed into the ground.

He embraced his sister tightly, protecting her while Kaeldur's wings had to endure most of the impact.

They rolled over the searing hot lava spread on the ground, only for Nial to flap his wings when he sensed that they were rolling in the direction of the lava riverbank.

Nial had never flown through the air before, which made it extremely difficult for Nial to control himself and find balance when not on solid ground.

It was even more difficult because of his momentum but to avoid getting drowned in lava, Nial gave his best.

In the end, it took him quite some effort to halt in the air before he descended to the ground.

"I never knew that you could fly as well!" Sabrina said before a playful "Ouch!" followed suit.

Nial lightly tapped her head as he sat down on the ground.

"I didn't either," He simply said truthfully. He never even knew that Kaeldur had wings. This was news to him just like it was surprising for Sabrina.

"Why did you have to overclock the [Gravitation] runic constellation? You understand that this could have killed you, right?" Nial asked in anger.

Sabrina was still in awe as she looked at Nial's appearance. He looked like a Devil from various fairy tales, which excited her.

However, she could only try to hide her excitement as she understood how angry Nial was at her.

"Well, I didn't expect your runic armament to be so weak…I trusted you, brother!" Sabrina replied with puppy eyes. Nial's lips twitched and he felt like smacking Sabrina really hard. Maybe that would help her be more rational.

However, hearing her call him brother, calmed Nial, which was exactly what Sabrina intended to do.

"Brother, I will be more careful next time…or you should just create a much much much better runic armament for me. A set of customized weapons would be great…." Sabrina mumbled quietly, which caused Nial's lips to twitch once again.

He wanted to say something but Nial knew that he would just regret it afterward.

His sister was not the type of person he could handle. She was just too…unique in her own ways.

Nial nodded his head, and retracted the remaining Darkness Essence and Dark energy after he made sure that no lava was left on his body before he tapped on Sabrina's head once again.

"If you provide me with the necessary materials, I can create whatever runic armament you want," He offered while ruffling her hair.

Sabrina tried to defend against him but she stopped when she noticed that her brother had gone extremely pale.

His mana fluctuations were weak and he looked exhausted. Sabrina's excitement was replaced with worry and guilt.

However, before she could say anything, her gaze darted to the Lava Golem's Lava Essence that was not yet destroyed.

Its mana core was located within the Lava Essence and it would be able to regenerate as long as the core was still intact.

With that in mind, Sabrina shot in the direction of the Lava Golem's mana core. A huge fist of mana manifested around her hand and she pounced out, smashing the Mana core into smithereens.

Nial could only faintly perceive the compressed mana around Sabrina's hand and that she had launched it like a rocket.

The impact created a huge hole in the searing hot red stone ground, which caused Nial to swallow his saliva.

"She is really powerful now… That's great!" Nial was happy that his sister had such a high strength, but her reckless behavior worried him a lot.

'I will have to surpass my limits to make her a set of armor and weapons that can bring the best out of her…that way, nothing she encounters can harm this little monster!' He concluded in his mind, clenching his fist.

But before he would be able to create a set of runic armaments for his sister, he would have to learn more about specific runic constellations, and Sabrina would have to bring him the necessary materials.

'I should create a few runic armaments with elemental resistance spells as well,' Nial recalled, feeling sad that so much dark energy had burned to protect him from turning into a mass of molten human flesh and bones.

It was only fortunate that the Darkness Essence was not damaged. Regenerating Darkness Essence was a lengthy task, something Nial wanted to avoid if possible.

Rather, he would love to accumulate more Darkness Essence, as much as possible.

Now that Sabrina had killed the Lava Golem, she collected the Lava Essence to sell it later. The Lava Essence could be altered and used in the forging process of various metals.

It was a great fuel, and Sabrina knew that.

She came back to Nial, just to see that he had several dangerous-looking burns and angry scars on his back.

Sabrina bit the inside of her cheek in guilt as she quickly approached him.

"Let's go back home…you need some rest. You just returned from Ximatra, after all!" She said hurriedly while pulling him outside.

Nial was glad when they left the Underworld Plain dungeon. A cool wave of air hit them the moment they stepped outside, a stark difference from the boiling temperature instantaneously.

However, Sabrina didn't care about that. She dragged Nial to one of the many infirmaries in the shelter to make sure that her brother wouldn't get an infection or permanent damage from the injury.

The Medics surveyed his injuries as the pain was slowly starting to bother Nial after the adrenaline rush had worn off. Luckily, Nial's body seemed to be overflowing with energy and he was already healing but the Medics felt that something was odd.

"We can heal him, but if he has some other issues, he should visit the Elves…" The oldest Medic said carefully, fully aware of Nial's identity.

Sabrina nodded her head and looked at Nial in worry.

"Why didn't you say that you have other problems?! I would have never gone into the dungeon with you!" Sabrina was upset but Nial just brushed off her concern.

"I don't have an issue, I wouldn't call it such…" Nial gave her a short answer before he got up from the infirmary's bed.

He knew his condition much better than anyone else.

However, that didn't make things better because he was currently facing a simple condition.

"And what is your problem then?!"
