Odyssey of the Blind God

[Master…what is that Power?] The Tyrant of Destruction was sure that he had never seen anything like Nial had shown.

Even Kaeldur was baffled, unsure of what must have happened to Nial, and wondering how he was suddenly able to kill the Dungeon Boss of a Deux-ranked Dungeon as if it was nothing but a mere plaything.

"This is the ability I gained from absorbing the Swirl of Chaos ability crystal. I think that I was granted the control of Chaos, but I'm not sure. I've never been in contact with Chaos, after all," Nial tried to explain and he briefly summarized what was going on with himself.

"It's like the Vengeance of Chaos ability listens to my desires and acts accordingly. When I want someone's heart to burst open I can do that as long as I use enough energy to do so. The mana consumption increases according to various factors and its extremely painful to keep the ability activated. It feels like my heart will burst open."

The Vengeance of Chaos ability was linked to Nial's Mana core and the Heart of Darkness. Yet, the highly destructive ability did not harm either of them, it was like the ability released chaos inside his body whenever it was getting activated.

Upon getting activated, the Vengeance of Chaos ability would start hurting his body. That fact was a clear indicator showing that his body was not yet ready for the full potential of the Vengeance of Chaos ability.

Nonetheless, what he could unleash with the ability was already quite a lot, and not something he should underestimate!

It allowed him to kill a Deux-ranked Dungeon Boss, after all!

He might have to use some of his Darkness Essence to make it possible but he was not even tired.

Thus he terminated the use of his newest ability, calmed his heart, and chose to focus on getting back to his peak state before continuing to test his new ability.

There was a lot to learn and Nial had yet to feel the urge to return to Halheim or the Forest of Life!

"You guys start collecting everything of value, including the corpses and dungeon loot, while I will get a few more helping hands," Nial said all of a sudden before he flew outside the dungeon.

He was trying to sort his thoughts but that was quite difficult. Too many different subjects tormented his mind and each of them wanted to become his highest priority.

That was obviously not possible, which was also why Dilan ended up in front of another Dungeon Portal just a few minutes later.

He didn't intend to enter it immediately because there were enough dungeon beasts around the dungeon. There were Trolls, Orcs, and smaller monsters such as Kobolds and rats.

"You guys are mine now! Follow my commands for a while and you can live, deny my supremacy, and die a painless death!" He thundered, activating Dominion with the amplification of the Blood Eclipse Moon's power.

There was no need for Nial to hold back with the usage of Mana. He was in possession of too many abilities and traits that allowed him to hoard energy, in seemingly infinite amounts at that.

The Blood Eclipse Moon accumulated the moonlight's energy and sucked it inside it. This type of energy was used as a means of support for other abilities and types of energies.

As for his Mana Core, it was much larger than the mana core of any Original Nial had encountered until now. Mana Cores were only present in beings until the Deux rank as the Mana Core would dissolve and transform into a Sea of Mana beyond that rank.

However, even then, Nial had never seen someone with a larger Mana Core than his own. Thus, the amount of mana he could store within it was more than anyone else!

And that was not even everything because he possessed another means to store energy, and his storage seemed like a blackhole. Nial had no idea how much dark energy or Dark Essence he could store inside the Heart of Darkness because he had never encountered a time when his Heart of Darkness was filled to the brim.

–

Even when the Tyrant of Destruction entered his Heart of Darkness and the Tyrant's dark energy was fully unleashed, Nial merely felt as if a single droplet had been put inside the endless storage of the Heart of Darkness.

It was a weird feeling and Nial couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by the Heart of Darkness and everything related to the Late God of Darkness.

However, he hadn't been influenced by the Heart of Darkness for a long time. The last time he recollected feeling that was when he had been at his most vulnerable. His mother had just been killed by a friend of his, and his mental state had been extremely bad.

But that was in the past. He had overcome the influence, or so he thought, at least.

What he didn't know was whether the influence had permanently tampered with his mind, or if he was the same as before.

That was not something Nial could figure out even if he wanted to. After all, it felt like everything was perfectly normal, so how could he find out whether something was amiss or not?

**

The beasts below him submitted to Nial when they sensed the power that resided within him. They might be able to tell that he was merely at the Prometheus rank but Nial didn't even think about hiding the massive amount of dark energy his body possessed.

Under normal circumstances, one wouldn't be able to sense the energy within his Heart of Darkness, whether they wanted to or not. However, Nial made his stance clear by showing the dungeon beasts who the boss was!

"Let's go. We have a few dungeons to clear!" Nial announced, flying back to the entrance portal of the frozen mountain.

Kaeldur, Tyrant and the leashed dungeon beasts emerged from the portal not long after. At the sight of more than a hundred new leashed dungeon beasts, Tyrant's darkness shroud fluctuated slightly.

The Tyrant of Destruction looked over to Nial, without saying a word. However, one could clearly tell that the thoughts in his mind were wreaking havoc in his brain.

[You do realize that this is nothing? Tyrant, you really missed out on the glorious feats our Master has achieved at such a young age. You better act more docile in front of him, or you might actually get exiled if you stir too much trouble!] Kaeldur's voice resounded in Nial's mind and he began to smile.

His Devils would communicate inside his mind, and they quarreled a lot. At first, it had been a little bit disruptive to have a bunch of voices in his head, but Nial quickly became accustomed to it.

This was necessary, especially since it was only a matter of time before more and more of Damian's Devils would join his army.

"You two lead them to a bunch of dungeons, conquer them and collect everything of value. But this time, you should also harvest rare plants, and other natural resources…and don't be too lazy or too stingy in picking up stuff. I know that you guys are accustomed to getting your hands on Godly artifacts or whatever stuff Damian gave you, but I am only at the Prometheus rank, and I need lots of nutrition, mana, and resources to earn a huge fortune, okay?" Nial clarified.

He felt a little bit stupid thinking that it was necessary to clarify that his Mana Core was merely at the Prometheus rank. However, when he visualized both Kaeldur and Tyrant, Nial quickly figured that it had been far from a useless comment.

'They wouldn't have picked up anything in a Deux-ranked Dungeon despite knowing that it was bullshit, wouldn't they?'

Nial sighed inwardly, but he calmed down in the blink of an eye. He threw a bunch of spatial rings toward the two Devils and let them lose.

Using Dominion to alter the minds of the leashed dungeon beasts was not difficult and the rest of the beasts followed the two Devils without further delay.

The Devils didn't even ask what Nial would do while they conquered the dungeon. They merely followed the commands they had been given and moved on with that.

Nial could sense the confusion of the Tyrant of Destruction, but he didn't say anything.

Kaeldur could tell Tyrant what he had done in the past.

"Finally I am at ease…now let's sort these annoying thoughts and start testing my new power!"
