Odyssey of the Blind God

After a long time had already elapsed since their battle had begun, Dilan changed his strategic advance.

A thousand tiny needles manifested out of compressed winds emerged around Dilan.

He released them with tremendous acceleration while exerting the movement technique, which he had already used before. It created winds within and outside his feet, creating ways to burst forward with a horrifyingly high velocity.

It was the third week after their battle had commenced and both opponents had figured a few things about each other.

Dilan was pretty sure that Nial's dark energy supply was almost infinite, which couldn't be said about his two Devil subordinates, Tyrant and Kaeldur. They had to use it judiciously, otherwise, they were bound to lose more than just a few limbs.

However, Nial was not too worried about that. He was more focused on Dilan and finding out a way to restrict the Undying. Winning the battle by killing the Undying in the battle within the arena of the Colosseum was extremely unlikely. Restricting Dilan's movement and draining both his mana and life force seemed more feasible in comparison.

The Undying's use of the Power of Destruction didn't make things easier for him. That was also why Nial was glad when Kaeldur had regenerated the arm that Dilan had cut off. The Devil used a tremendous amount of mana, dark energy, and time to do so. And, in exchange for being able to heal his arm, Kaeldur had entered a short weakened state.

In the weakened state, the Devil was not able to put up a fight against Dilan as he had before. Kaeldur ended up becoming slower and weaker than the Undying.

Nial wanted to help Kaeldur when he was fighting the Undying but he had grossly underestimated his opponent. He had a hard time adjusting to the Undying's overpowered abilities, which is why he was too focused on Dilan to realize that Kaeldur was regenerating his arm.

The Devils of Damian had a very high natural regeneration, and they could enhance it further with the use of dark energy. That was exactly what Kaeldur had to do in order to regenerate his arm. However, to do that, lots of precious reserves would have to be used. Through the lack of dark energy, their combat prowess would decrease for a short time as the dark energy would be fully utilized in the regeneration of their wounds.

Unfortunately, the Undying made use of this very easily. He cut off Kaeldur's other arm while the first Devil was focused on regenerating his other arm.

Kaeldur attempted to turn his arm into darkness currents and dematerialize them before they could be cut off by Dilan's slash, but the Devil was a few milliseconds too late.

The Undying had dispelled Nial's darkness domain in a range of two meters by releasing his Power of Destruction into his surrounding.

He summoned his own domain, the Domain of Destruction, thereby preventing Kaeldur from changing his shape for a short moment. That moment was everything the Undying needed to use the 72 Slashes of Destruction Sword Style and his Immortality Aura to cut off Kaeldur's other arm.

In exchange for the cut-off arm, Dilan had to face death yet again by getting his head burst open as a huge darkness mace smashed against the back of his head.

Tyrant had crushed Dilan's head but he had been too late to prevent Kaeldur's loss. As for Nial, he was forced to face other attacks by the Undying, including the compressed wind needles.

Nial created needles of darkness to counter the wind needles which was more than enough to face and destroy them. Unfortunately, facing the needles of compressed wind and the preparations he had to focus on restricted him from helping his Devils as well as he wanted to.

Thus, Dilan moved around, headlessly, by activating his Astral Projection with near perfect mastery. The Undying was killed so often by getting his head severed or smashed that it seemed to be a blessing in disguise. The more often he got killed in this way, the higher his mastery of the technique became. It was much higher than anyone could fathom.

Tyrant's attacks were burdensome to Dilan, nonetheless. The second Devil was fast, physically extremely powerful, and he could use his dark energy to further reinforce his attacks. It was also possible for Tyrant to access Nial's domain of darkness, which was how the Tyrant of Destruction and Kaeldur could accelerate the time it took to replenish their dark energy.

As for Dilan, he was often overwhelmed because of the darkness domain before. Now, he was a little bit better adapted to it.

That was extremely bothersome for Nial, who had hoped to make use of the darkness domain to defeat Dilan by restricting him. And, whenever Dilan was restricted, he would forcibly tear apart his body just to nullify the restriction.

Whenever Dilan failed, the Grim Reaper almost came for him, but he would heal just a moment later. He could rinse and repeat that until his own attack would finally land on the designated target. He could fail as many times as he wanted provided that he improved and got better.

That was also why Dilan ended up changing his strategy and attacked Nial with the thousand compressed wind needles. While Nial's control of mana was already extremely high for someone at his rank, or even for someone one or two ranks above him, Dilan's mana control was just as terrifying, if not several times more terrific!

Dilan had 10,000 years of practice, how could Nial compare to that in any way?!

Nial might be more talented than Dilan, but the Undying was not someone who was too bothered about something as mundane as talent.

In the end, the only thing that mattered was who emerged victorious and who lost.

That was why both parties gave their utmost efforts. Dilan used his own tactics that were perfectly adjusted to fit the special traits he was able to use right now.

As for Nial, he concentrated most mana in the air above the Colosseum. Nial wanted to make use of the mana to create an ultimate attack against Dilan to restrict him once and for all. That would be the best way to counter him.

As long as Nial was stronger than Dilan, it would be possible to restrict him. Making use of that was the only thing Nial could do.

That was also why he created a huge wall of darkness to block the thousand compressed wind needles. The wall of darkness separated the entire Colosseum's arena into two sections.

Dilan and Tyrant were left alone, which caused a smile to appear on the faces of the two parties.

"Finally alone, right?" Dilan asked, just for Tyrant to roar out loud while bashing his huge darkness mace into the ground. The Tyrant of Destruction burst forward while summoning two walls of darkness a few meters to Dilan's left and right. Large blades shot out of the walls of darkness, preventing Dilan from moving anywhere but straight ahead.

However, that was exactly what Dilan wanted to do, to begin with.

There was no need to be afraid of Tyrant, no matter how huge, or physically strong the Devil was. Tyrant was just a subordinate of Nial, with a different set of skills, and weaknesses!

Dilan conjured the Immortality Aura as he slashed his sword to the side. Yet, instead of weaving the Destruction Domain, or shrouding his blade in the Power of Destruction, Dilan came up with an entirely different attack for the Tyrant.

As for Nial, his plan was slowly setting off as well!
