Odyssey of the Blind God

"What the hell did you do to us?!?" The strongest of the six Valxians shouted while pointing at him with one of his many broken fingers.

Nial smiled in the direction of the six badly beaten-up Valxians without saying anything. There was no need for him to give them an explanation because they should be very well aware of what had happened.

Even if the alteration in their mind was subtle and barely perceptible, one only needed a keen eye and an acute sense of observation to sense it. Meanwhile, the other five Valxians remained silent. They tried to avoid meeting the attention of the spectators from all around because they were ashamed of what had happened.

Only one of them had been able to have any sense of what had happened while the others were still trying to figure out what was happening.

The Dojo Master looked at the six Valxians while trying to hide how satisfied he was about the given situation. He cleared his throat and attracted enough attention from the people around him to start speaking without too many disturbances around him.

"So what are you guys planning to do now? Do you want to pay or become the Thousand Bodies Refinement Dojo's servants?" The Dojo Master asked before he added, "Please remember that it will be more expensive to buy yourself out of the servant service because you guys wanted me to be your judge!"

The Dojo Master could have increased the charges by a lot more than he had actually planned because the six Valxians had fought Nial at the same time but he knew that the failure of the entrance test was already humiliating enough.

Nial had worked hard to humiliate the six Valxians and it was not necessary for the Dojo Master to worsen the situation further. It would only make things more uncomfortable for all parties involved.

The strongest of the Valxians wanted to say something to the Dojo Master, but the youngest of the small group quickly intervened. He stepped forward, cleared his throat, and prevented the strongest and oldest of them from doing something he would definitely regret.

"We will pay everything in a lump sum. Please don't worry about this, esteemed Dojo Master!" The youngest of the six Valxians said after doing the traditional greeting of their race to show his utmost respect for the Dojo Master.

As of now, the Dojo Master was one of the most respected Valxians in Alliance City. His achievements were great and he had already attained more at his age than most Valxians would be able to achieve in their entire lifetime.

It was obvious that the Dojo Master would become a true powerhouse in the future, and the young Valxian could clearly tell that they had gone too far with their earlier behavior.

The situation was troublesome and the young Valxian would rather avoid more trouble. Fortunately, the Dojo Master didn't reprimand them for their behavior openly and he merely gave them a precious lesson by sending out Nial to fight all of them at once.

As long as they would calm down and thought about their situation, the six Valxians would realize that the Dojo Master had already been pretty nice to them. He could have been far crueler but he had decided to hold back.

"Elder Walin will prepare the bill and I will take the remaining entrance tests of the other students. Nial is exempted from his responsibility to accept everyone's challenge and the other members of the Thousand Bodies Refinements Dojo will replace him," The Dojo Master announced in a loud voice.

He allowed Nial to leave, which was quite nice as it gave him the time to think about all the pieces of information he had received from the Dojo Master minutes ago.

'Beings foreign to our universe…Swirl of Chaos ability crystal with harsh binding requirements… what else is there for me to get to know… am I not way too weak to face all of these troublesome things?!' Nial didn't like the current situation but it was not as if he could do anything against it.

The situation was quite confusing…once again…as if he didn't have enough trouble, to begin with.

Nial gestured at the Dojo Master and he went his way. He received many curious stares from the people, who had spectated his 'fight' against the six Valxians but Nial ignored the attention they gave him.

It was most important for him to arrange his thoughts and to figure out if the Swirl of Chaos ability crystal was actually useful for him. He wanted to get the best possible foundation before advancing to the Deux rank. This was rather important, especially since the God of Darkness had had many enemies when he was alive.

It wouldn't be weird for tens of races to attack him the moment they would find out that he was somehow related to Damian. He might only be in possession of a Fragment of the Darkness God but that was already troublesome enough.

'I will start accumulating contribution points with [Dominion] while studying more about runic armaments. That way I should be able to work more efficiently and attain the theoretical knowledge to create Tier-3 runic armaments. The moment I learn to create Tier-3 runic armaments, I can hasten up the process, earn a huge fortune, work on my Refinements of Imperfectia, search and find another ability to bind to myself and then take a look at the ability crystal for Swirl of Chaos…somehow' Nial thought as he tried to come up with a plan.

It was certainly not easy to come up with a plan on how to earn a fortune that could rival the wealth of Gods but Nial had to give it a try. The goal seemed impossible to achieve but that was exactly what Nial looked forward to.

Wasn't it better to strive to achieve the impossible and go beyond his mortal body's limits? Nial was pretty sure that it would be near impossible to achieve what he was trying to do, but there was still a tiny little chance!

He wanted to reach out for that tiny little chance and make use of it.

With that in mind, Nial came up with a plan on how to use his current fortune in the best possible way.

He bought a Guild hall messenger, which was a unique Tier-2 runic communication device. It was quite expensive but one could access the mission board, look at missions and even accept them. At the same time, he wanted to make use of Ryu to send him back and forth between the places where all the missions would lead him to the Alliance city.

Ryu was already considered to be one with Nial in the records of the Guild hall, which meant that the wingless Gryphon could complete his missions as long as he brought the goods that were asked for.

This would make things a lot easier for everyone. Having Ryu as his 'porter', and with the communication device, the only things he was missing were the necessary resources to continue practicing the 10,000 Refinements of Imperfectia body refinement technique and tons of books that recorded the best ways to learn about Superior and Ancient Runic armaments.

Nial felt the need to learn more about materials, including types of wood, metals, farn, cloth, and so on as well. Not only was it important to be knowledgeable about runic constellations, but runic solutions and the materials one wanted to engrave something on were just as important.

A notepad runic armament could store the content of thousands of books so Nial bought all the books he needed as the content got stored in the Notepad. He didn't buy the physical book but just the data format which made things a lot cheaper as well.

This allowed him to buy a lot more runic armaments and to end up with much more contribution points to distribute them differently.

Instead of buying anything that was only of little value, Nial purchased Darkness attributed Origin crystals, and Onyx stones that were filled with the darkness element. Ryu would be able to make great use of them and improve the control of his darkness affinity much faster as well.

Other than the gifts for the hard-working wingless Gryphon, Nial bought more resources to practice his body refinement technique. He hoped that it was possible to finish the 10,000 Refinements of Imperfectia before the Swirl of Chaos ability crystal would be sold off.

"Gods shouldn't really be impatient…so they won't rush to sell off the Swirl of Chaos ability crystal…maybe they'll announce that an auction will be held for it and invite various races to make the most out of the given situation…that should be the most logical move…I guess," Nial mumbled to himself when he left the Alliance city once again.

It was time for him to get his hands on billions of contribution points. There was no time to slack off. The feeling of being busy was something Nial had missed for a while now and he smiled foolishly.

"Let's go!"
