Odyssey of the Blind God

Nial got to know Alliance City in its entirety after Elder Walin finished teaching the Dojo students.

This required a few hours but Nial had more than enough time, which was why he studied a small guide about the major races that had created the Alliance City.

The 10 races were called Divons because there were mostly 10 Gods, who had been working together to make sure that everything involving the alliance would be without a problem once Jundra, the planet that was also called the Origin, would reawaken.

The Valxian was one of the 10 Divon races, and apart from them, there was also a human race from a rather small population with only a few remarkable figures in their race, and eight other unique races.

Amongst the races were the Keril, a small human-like race with gray skin and few hair that was known for being powerful Runiciers rather than combatants, the Alcam race, a very old race that had found the secrets of Alchemy and the creation of youth potions, which had turned them into one of the few races not many dared to offend due to their ability to create youth potions.

Their only strength could be considered to create mythical potions due to their unique racial traits but that was already more than enough to make up for their small population and weak combat talent.

After all, nobody wanted to offend someone, who had a strong network of allies throughout the thousands of years by handing out mythical potions such as youth potions, temporary mana aptitude increasing potions, and much more.

Each of the other six Divon races had a special characteristic and only three were truly strong in terms of fighting power.

One was technologically advanced, one was very knowledgeable in all possible fields, one race was mostly known for their numbers, one had great assassins and others were considered natural Elementalists.

All-in-all, one could find basically everything in Alliance City, even proper tamers or treasure hunters.

Nial was pretty impressed by all of this and the most astonishing was probably the fact that there were more than just the 10 Divon races in Alliance City.

After his range of perception and [Mana sense] had had enough time to perceive everything around him, Nial even figured that some Heligav were trying to build their own small place in the Alliance city.

There were more than enough empty buildings in the huge city that kept expanding because everyone was working hard to make sure that more and more races and people would decide to live in neutral territory.

"The Divons want to create a neutral city nobody would ever dare to attack, or am I missing something?" Nial asked when he was sure that he understood the intentions of the 10 Divons properly.

There weren't even 100,000 residents in Alliance City as of now but the more races would emerge on Jundra, the faster the city would grow.

He could already imagine that the city would end up becoming the most versatile place all over Jundra, which turned it into a near-indestructible fortress.

Only those, who didn't fear the rage of dozens of Gods would dare to attack and annihilate Alliance city if they were even strong enough to think of achieving this.

"An indestructible fortress and an undefeatable army consisting of numerous races that can utilize their strengths perfectly…so basically what you said, yeah," Elder Walin answered him with a nod.

The answer she gave was pretty interesting because it highlighted one particular fact; a bunch of races making up for the weakness of other races!

The Keril race could create powerful runic armaments and the Alcam race could create wonderful mythical potions. This would enhance the prowess of the combat forces drastically, providing all the support they could give as races that were more of a burden than being helpful on the battlefield.

A small group of well-trained and extraordinarily armed Originals with racial traits that were especially great for combat was certainly stronger than thousands of Originals that were not made for combat.

"That's quite smart…but many races won't be bothered about that. The neutrality of the Alliance City will face problems if mortal enemies clash against each other in the city," Nial said in a serious tone as his mind drifted toward the thought of eradicating the Heligav.

He had already killed everyone who was responsible for his mother's death but the Heart of Darkness thudded wildly whenever he thought about the Heligav.

It made him angry, angry enough to make him feel like he was getting devoured by his own emotions.

Nial knew that this was very dangerous and he ended up sighing in frustration whenever he felt his emotion overcome him. Somehow, the deep sighs allowed him to release portions of his treacherous emotions.

However, little did he know that darkness had begun to subconsciously ooze out of him at this moment, causing Elder Walin to halt in her tracks.

"The Divons will create rules to solve this problem when it occurs. They're already prepared for lots of trouble…and they expect a lot…like a lot of trouble to happen in the future," Elder Walin said in a mysterious tone as if she wanted to highlight what she had said.

Nial considered her words as a warning because he realized too late that his emotions had been about to overtake him…once again, and he began to smile weirdly.

"Let's go back. You can visit everything later, and there shouldn't be too much trouble with your Insignia as a student of the Thousand Bodies Refinements Dojo!" Elder Walin declared before she turned around, leaving Nial with no other option but to follow her.

The Alliance city was very interesting. It was a really big city, spanning more than a hundred kilometers. It was still being expanded, rapidly at that and Nial was getting curious how exactly the city would develop in the future.

"As a student of the Thousand Bodies Refinements Dojo, I'm probably not allowed to join some other group such as the Keril to study runic constellations under their tutelage, right?" Nial asked with a faint smile on his lips.

Elder Walin gave him a long piercing stare before answering,

"Even if someone were to forbid you to do something, I doubt that anyone can actually stop you from doing anything. If the Dojo Master didn't say anything to you, you can do anything you want…as long as you keep the image of the Dojo in mind. Don't ruin our reputation!" Elder Walin declared, staring deeply into the eyes of the small human next to her.

"Well, that's okay then. I'll have to take a look at the Keril then…after I started fixing and refining my body!" Nial said hurriedly and they returned back to the Dojo.

Nial returned to his room where he found an old-looking scroll and a small metal plate that manifested a holographic image of the Dojo master when Nial touched it.

"I found a scroll that might be of use for you. I'll be sending over a basin, medical solutions, nutrition serums, and some Origin crystals for you to start practicing with the [10,000 Refinements of Imperfectia] body refinement technique. It is a technique that requires the practitioner to have a messed-up body with wounds that are pretty weird, but the final result should be in your favor.

The technique turns the imperfect body or vessel into something that is as perfect as possible, meaning that your messy body will be fixed properly!" The Dojo Master said through the holographic message before he added,

"Once you feel that your body has been fixed to a large extent, you can search Elder Walin or me to seek access to the martial art library's first floor. You can learn one technique for free before you will have to earn contribution points to be eligible to learn another technique!"

Nial was glad that the Dojo Master found a proper body refinement technique and he would have started practicing it immediately if he had all the necessary things by his side.

However, he was missing nearly everything, which was why he waited patiently.

Ryu was by his side and he chirped cheerfully, demanding to be petted just like always.

Nial caressed Ryu for quite some time while simultaneously visualizing the content of the 10,000 Refinements of Imperfectia body refinement technique in his mind.

It was a huge scroll and the words were written in an extremely small font. Thus, a small shred of the technique was already enough for Nial to understand what he had to do in order to undergo the first 10 Refinements of Imperfectia.

"This will be darn painful…"
