Odyssey of the Blind God

Seeing that the young Originals had finally arrived, the soldiers visibly calmed down.

Within seconds, the tightly packed soldiers began to move, creating space between one another to allow some dungeon beasts to pass through.

Though they didn't let all of the beasts trample them and shoot past the four rows of Soldiers, meaning that the number of dungeon beasts that were able to pass through all of them was minuscule.

Besides, most of the stronger beasts were already injured, posing only a little threat to the young Originals.

Once the first row of soldiers holding the defensive line would grow exhausted, the soldiers from the rows behind would take over, letting the front row soldiers catch up on their breaths a little.

Through this, the most exhausted Soldiers would be able to defend the base from the fourth row, while recuperating slowly.

This would distribute the pressure weighing down on everyone tremendously.

But even then, Nial felt that something was wrong.

His mana perception sensed that the beasts ahead were of no real threat.

What he sensed was that the soil all around them would create an issue for them.

"Mathias, do you sense something within the walls around us?" Nial thus asked Mathias.

He had an Earth elemental affinity and should be more than capable enough to sense everything within the soil all around them.

His range of perception might even be higher than Nial's.

This was why he asked Mathias, but sadly his friend only shook his head.

"There is nothing. Why do you ask? Do you sense something?" Mathias was still quite worried, but owing to Nial's rather calm demeanor, he was able to hold his ground as well.

"No idea, I only felt a bit weird, that's it!"

No sooner had he said that the ground below them trembled as tremendous energy waves swept through the tunnels, only to be followed by a thunderous roar that shook humans and dungeon beasts to the core.

Several seconds passed until everything around them stopped rumbling, and Nial regained complete control over his body once again.

His Odyssey seed had begun to vibrate for a moment, but Nial's body quickly subdued this with the use of his mana without noticing it.

He didn't fear the beasts around him, but the Odyssey seed had begun to make him uncomfortable ever since the day it absorbed the Titan's heart.

As such, once he regained his senses, Nial took a few steps forward before wielding the Viper spear, calming him tremendously.

A few powerful dungeon beasts that regained their senses almost as quickly as Nial were able to pass through the defensive line of the Soldiers.

Thus, Nial didn't hesitate to push his feet off the ground as he catapulted himself towards the Foxes that looked eerily bulky.

They were almost a meter tall, and it looked like the vast majority of their body was made out of muscles.

Based on their mana fluctuations, Nial realized that the more than a dozen Bulky Foxes were at the 7th Origin rank.

It was much higher than Nial's original ranking which was just at the 3rd Origin rank.

But that was not something he worried about, at all.

He prepared himself by circulating mana through his enhanced body, and was ready to face the dungeon beasts head-on, alone if necessary.

And this was truly how it looked because the other young Originals were still behind him.

All of them including Captain Clara were yet to move.

However, this was the case owing to the [Berserk Roar] ability that had been issued by the Giganodes just a few moments earlier.

It instilled fear and paralysis that lasted for a few seconds in every being that it reached.

The effect was weaker towards the beings, whose mind and the body was further developed, of higher natural resistance, or simply of higher willpower.

While Nial's body had received a high natural resistance to such effects owing to the Odyssey seed's passive effects, the others didn't have any such advantage.

The required willpower to not let the [Berserk Roar] affect them was not something the rest of the humans had, at least not in the face of Giganodes.

They were also feared as the King-devourer and Giant-eaters.

But that was only the nickname Nial was aware of.

After all, mankind couldn't know this!

However, Nial couldn't care less about the Giganodes right now because he had to face over a dozen Bulky Foxes, alone, at that.

The Soldiers in front of him had started moving again, and from what his mana perception told him, Captain Clara, Belle, and two more Originals were able to move once again as well.

It would take them a moment before they would reach him.

Changing his stance, Nial switched the Viper spear's form to a glaive.

Through this the blade on the side of the spear tip pierced out, allowing him to use more brute force instead of perfect precision.

And that was exactly what Nial needed right now.

Not halting in his advance, he pushed himself ahead, reaching the first Bulky Fox.

It was ready to tear apart the young human in front of it and growled intimidatingly.

Yet, it was just at this moment that Nial's speed accelerated.

He leaned forward and pushed himself ahead, only to halt all of a sudden.

Using the great momentum he had accumulated, Nial brandished the Viper spear in the glaive form, while slashing at the first Bulky Fox.

The sudden change in his moves hit the Fox off-guard, preventing it from deflecting the attack.

It could only try to use its maw to block the advance of the attack in a last-ditch attempt to save itself.

However, this proved to be its doom and gave Nial the perfect opportunity to kill the Fox by cutting off the upper part of its head.

Nial truly hadn't expected the Bulky Fox to be so dumb.

He had predicted it to be sly and intelligent, which was something Foxes as a breed had in common.

But after witnessing the way the Bulky Fox clumsily fought, Nial's opinion about the beasts in front of him changed.

Nial wasn't going to grumble about it as it made him put in fewer efforts to eliminate one of the several threats. The tension that had coiled in his muscles body eased up, providing him with the chance to move with much more confidence.

Using several difficult combat sequences, Nial tested out his body's capabilities after he devoured the Titan's heart to assess the level of enhancements he had received.

Without giving his best, it was difficult for him to do so.

As such, Nial didn't even think of holding back.

He moved around at his highest speed, using every inch of force within his body to fight while circulating mana through his mana vein.

The speed at which the mana circulated through his body allowed him to enhance himself even more than usual.

It even provided him with the opportunity to spread his mana into multiple strands to focus on different body parts at the same time.

This required precise control of mana, which was usually quite difficult to achieve while fighting with his life on the line.

However, the current opponents were rather dumb and posed hardly any threat to him.

Using his highly enhanced physique, the tremendous amount of mana that coursed through his body, and his high control over both his body and mind, Nial's movements became faster and faster.

With shockingly high agility and flexibility, he passed through the crowd of more than a dozen Bulky Foxes effortlessly.

Smoothly switching between the various forms of the Viper spear, Nial switched between thrusting the Viper spear out to end the life of his opponents with a single thrust and slashing at them by using his trusted weapon in its glaive form with which he beheaded a Bulky Fox.

Nial's way of fighting attracted the attention of the young Originals, and even Captain Clara couldn't help but look at him in dumbfounding.

Yet, she didn't stop moving and appeared right next to him with the intention to protect him.

That was not required so she didn't do anything either.

Even if the current situation was a mess, the higher-ups of the military told her not to overdo it.

She was supposed to protect the young Originals from dying in the dungeon breakout, not to babysit them.

And this was exactly what she was doing now, looking over Nial to see if he would need her help.

However, as it was evidently not necessary, Clara swept a glance through the surroundings to assess how the others were faring.

The Soldiers ahead of them had only thrown a short glance behind in order to see if everything was fine.

Seeing Nial, and how easily he defeated the Bulky Foxes they felt visibly relieved which allowed them to return to their task at hand, to defend the Teradan military base from the dungeon breakout.

At the same time, Bella and two more young Originals appeared near Nial. All of them now faced a total of five Bulky Foxes.

The rest had already been killed by Nial, and one of them had even dropped a Mid rank Common grade origin crystal.

Nial didn't even think about picking up the origin crystal as his entire focus was on defeating the other beasts.

He felt surprisingly clear-headed and even forgot to worry about the Odyssey seed.

It was a great feeling for his mind to be at ease, giving him the chance to feel the excitement to fight, once again.

He was way too worried about something that had not even happened yet, and Nial didn't know whether the Odyssey seed was something bad or not, either.

From his past experience, the more he worried about things, the more was the likelihood of his worse fears turning true.

Thus, if he would keep worrying that the Odyssey seed was bad or evil, it was most likely to be the case.

Yet, when seeing fighting everything other than the battlefield in front of him turned negligible.

It was only the moment that counted as every single moment could be your last one or the last one of your opponent.

With that in mind, Nial brandished the Viper spear in the glaive form, slashing it across the battlefield.

Using the tremendous momentum to his advantage, he moved the spear around his body, ending up inflicting several injuries to the beasts around him.

Three Bulky Foxes had nearly reached him, and once their sharp claws would reach him, he would be torn into countless pieces.

Fortunately, Nial's sudden movement pushed them back, preventing them from doing anything to him.

And it was at this moment that Bella activated her [Outburst] ability and reached his side.

Through this, the mana that circulated through her body reached a new height in potency.

Emerging next to one of the subtly injured Bulky Foxes a moment later, Bella lashed out.

Piercing through its neck, Bella killed it as the Bulky Fox could barely squeal once before it succumbed to the deadly injury.

Without hesitation, she left the corpse that slumped to the ground and advanced ahead to kill the next Bulky Fox.

Meanwhile, the other two young Originals were doing the same.

They tried their best to kill at least two Bulky Foxes, as they wanted to be on par with Nial.

However, they quickly understood that the embarrassment of having been affected by the [Berserk Roar] of the mighty beast that the higher-ups of the military were fighting was not as big a deal as they thought.

Nial might have been lucky for his ability to counter the effect of the Beast's ability, or there was something else that allowed him to be unaffected by the ability.

Nonetheless, they wanted to show that they were not useless and that Nial was not the strongest.

Even more so because the young Original was only at the 3rd Origin rank, and, most importantly, blind!!

Yet, his movement sequences and his ability to fight were evident, showing everyone clearly that they shouldn't hold prejudice against Nial.

Nial couldn't care less, and the only thing he sensed after the short skirmish ended with the foxes was that the number of dungeon beasts in front of them was much higher than initially expected.

'Looks like this will be quite bloody, even for us, the last line of defense!'

But instead of feeling bothered, Nial simply waited for the beasts to dare and come fight him.

Right now, he felt that he was ready to face everyone and everything, even Gods if necessary!
