Odyssey of the Blind God

Upon sensing the four corpses, Nial couldn't help but knit his brows.

He was not familiar with any of them and had maybe just seen them in the basement while having lunch, but the death of his peers made him understand that nobody would save them here.

The Instructors wouldn't help them in a tricky situation, and they would just die upon making mistakes.

This was something that caused Nial to feel that the reason behind the creation of the Teradan military camp was wrong.

Every single participant was a human being with enough potential to become powerful.

Nial was pretty sure that everyone had the necessary talent to support mankind in their fight against the ever-increasing number of dungeon beasts and manifesting dungeons.

As such, he couldn't help but feel that the Instructors made a big mistake right now by letting potential prodigies just die.

'They are probably just understaffed,' Nial tried to convince himself.

However, even while trying to tell himself that the behavior of the government was different than it looked, the situation in front of him didn't change.

With that in mind, he pushed ahead, sending dust and sand around as his feet catapulted him towards the Armored Giant.

Dense mana currents circulated through his body, allowing him to further accelerate his speed.

At this very moment, the Armored Giant noticed the small team of three advancing towards itself.

Yet, instead of worrying about them, it picked up one of the other Originals before smashing him into the ground.

The Armored Giant was barely fifty meters away from them, which caused the scene ahead to look extremely cruel.

Mathias instinctively swallowed his saliva as he stared at the mangled corpse that had been smashed into the ground.

'Are we really doing the right thing?!'

While Mathias felt chills spreading all over his skin at the sight of the easily killed Original, Bella geared up her speed.

She had fully recuperated from her overly exhausted state and was ready to go all-in once again.

There was no need for her to hesitate, even less because Nial was charging toward the Armored Giant without any hesitation.

If she were to know that Nial's entire being was screaming at him that it was a necessity to kill the Armored Giant, Bella would feel utterly confused.

Nial might feel like saving the others, but he was well aware of his shortcomings and knew that his individual strength was not enough to make this happen…not without the help of something that was hidden deep within him.

He had no idea what exactly the Odyssey seed was, and the same could be said about the Curse.

Being connected, they had some sort of synergy but Nial was still oblivious to the true powers or potency of both the Curse and Odyssey seed.

At this moment, the Armored Giant turned towards the newcomers, while emitting an ear-splitting roar.

Pounding its huge fists on its inflated chest, it tried to display its dominance and strength much like a huge Ape.

As his senses were much more refined and sharper than others, it was no wonder that Nial's ears began to bleed, while his face scrunched in discomfort.

It was as if severe pain spread through him, without him being actually injured.

But all of this was not something Nial was able to clearly notice.

Somehow, it felt as if his heart skipped a beat the moment the ear-piercing roar reverberated through his entire being.

He was not sure what was happening, but the moment the Armored Giant's roar fell on his ears, Nial felt as if a series of memories reached him.

They were certainly not his memories because he was able to see vivid images of something he had never seen before.

Even in his dreams of the divine palace, he was never able to see more than the clouds, a marble staircase, the divine palace, and the Goddess seated on her throne.

As such, he could ascertain that the memory of him standing on top of a ginormous rock, and looking down at a raging storm certainly did not belong to him.

Below the raging storm that hindered his sight, he was able to sense the life force of millions of bloodthirsty beings that were fighting against each other in a war that lasted longer than a millennia.

On both sides, ginormous beings towering several hundred meters above others could be seen squashing their opponents under their feet, while other, smaller beasts scurried over the ground in the blink of an eye.

A fierce battle was being fought with opponents tearing each other apart mercilessly, and even sacrificing themselves for the sake of gaining an advantage in the war they had started for the sake of the existence they swore allegiance to.

Moments turned into hours, seconds into weeks, and before Nial knew what was going on, the images that had flashed through his mind disappeared as abruptly as they had appeared.

It was almost if they had never existed, leaving behind only the memories and flood of information that now ravaged his mind.

"Lesser Titan youngling…" Nial blurted out without realizing.

He was still running towards the Armored Giant that seemed to be a Lesser Titan youngling in reality.

It was as if time had stopped when the memories, images and information that didn't belong to him had flashed through his mind.

And what Nial didn't notice was that his body was shrouded in a faint membrane that gleamed in dark color.

His speed had accelerated further, and his Odyssey seed had pulsated twice in a row, the moment his mind had been bombarded with the memories.

Right now, Nail's mind felt like a mess as it was trying to make sense of all the provided information and digest it at once.

Thus, instead of inducing a headache caused due to the strain, Nial decided to avert his attention to the suction force his Odyssey seed was issuing.

The surrounding mana was quickly pulled towards him, only to be annexed by the Odyssey seed that absorbed everything, without distinguishing between impure and low density of mana.

Moments that felt like minutes passed, before the Odyssey seed began to tremble, releasing currents of darkness.

Not knowing what was going on, or why, Nial could only sense instinctively that he was able to control the currents of dark energy.

At the same time, he was still continuing to charge toward the Lesser Titan youngling that looked at Nial in anger.

However, there was also a trace of something in the large, nearly pitch-black eyes of the Titan youngling, that the others hadn't seen before- fear!

But this fear was not something Nial could either detect or even be bothered about!

After all, the dark energy currents he released were overflowing with vigor, causing great pain to his entire body.

His constitution might have been strengthened already, but he was still too weak to withstand the pressure of the dark energy currents.

This made him realize that he was not yet ready for whatever was going to happen.

Yet the desire to devour the living beings around him, prevented him from thinking straight as the dark energy currents continued to influence his mind.

He was not sure whether it was intentional or his subconscious that acted, but Nial inserted the vast majority of mana that was left in his mana core to activate the Curse [Hodur's Heir]

The sudden activation of his curse caused his mana core to react in a familiar way as it began to faintly tremble.

It was just like the Odyssey seed would tremble, almost as if something exciting was happening.

Black miasma was released from his mana core only a moment later as the inserted mana was enough to activate the Curse.

The moment the black miasma was released from his body, he felt that he regained control over himself.

His mind was not influenced by the desires of the dark energy currents anymore.

This gave him the moment he required to perceive the situation ahead, with the Titan youngling roaring out once again.

The distance between him and the Titan youngling was now less than ten meters which were enough for the Titan to reach him with one pounce.

Yet, that was not what the beast did.

Rather than focusing solely on Nial to eliminate the biggest threat ahead, the Titan released the vast majority of mana that was residing within it in order to deflate its body.

A moment later, it looked like the Titan disappeared from its position as its body deflated, decreasing to a size of five meters.

It took only a second for the Titan youngling's appearance to change drastically, and it was a mere moment after the change that it began to move.

In a single stride, it appeared in front of another Original.

Punching its fist into him, the Titan youngling blasted away the upper body of the Original, causing blood, flesh, organs, and bones to splatter through the surroundings.

Yet, instead of being delighted at the sight of its opponent's blood, the Titan youngling threw a mere glance at Nial before disappearing from the sight once again.

The acceleration of the Titan youngling was shocking, and even before Nial was able to reach it, another two Originals had died at its hand.

Only then did Nial finally reach the Titan.

When he enveloped the Viper spear in a mixture of both the black miasma and the dark energy currents, it hummed loudly before Nial thrust it forward.

Swirling the blade of the Viper spear around, he allowed the black miasma and dark energy currents to merge, only to turn into an additional layer of enhancement.

This allowed Nial, whose strength was lower than that of the other Originals to pierce through the abdomen of the Titan youngling, whose eyes widened at the sight.

Nobody on the nameless island had been able to even scratch its armor.

Yet, Nial, the being that had made it feel fear despite his evident weakness, was able to pierce through its armor, skin and flesh without much resistance.

Angered by this, it reached for the Viper spear to shatter it into pieces before tearing apart the dwarf-like existence ahead of itself.

But the moment the table-sized hands of the youngling reached out for the shaft of the spear, the dark energy currents and black miasma lunged out for its hand.

,m Like ferocious serpents, they shot out towards the youngling's hand and tightly coiled around it at once.

This astonished Nial as he was not controlling either of the energies right now.

In fact, Nial's plan had been to retract the Viper spear a moment after piercing through the armor of the Titan.

His gut feeling had told him that the Viper spear and the enhancing effect of both the black miasma and the dark energy currents would be more than enough to penetrate the high defense of the Titan.

But somehow, everything seemed to go on differently than first expected.

None of the Originals, including the group of three, could have assumed that the fight against the Titan youngling would result in such chaos and confusion.

And Nial was, by far, the most confused about the given situation.

After all, he was the one to have been bombarded by memories in the middle of the fight coupled with the fact that his Odyssey seed suddenly went on a riot upon encountering the Lesser Titan youngling ahead of him.

But even the Titan was utterly dumbfounded about the situation.

It had been thrown in an unknown world, at an unknown place, with the sole order to grow, cause destruction,, and become stronger…

As such, getting defeated was not on the list of tasks that the Titan was allowed to pursue.

Recalling its task, it ignored the pain that spread through its abdomen and the right hand as it roared at Nial.

Interestingly, while everyone else could only hear an ear-piercing roar that caused the overly exhausted Originals to slump to the ground, the roar felt different to Nial.

It was almost as if he could understand the intent behind the roar.

However, this caused him to knit his eyebrows even further as it made him feel even more crazed than the situation had already been before!

"I am the King of the Hill!!!"
