Odyssey of the Blind God

Chapter 440 City Brawl

'I didn't want the situation to escalate like this...but it's fine... I guess,' Nial thought as he rushed outside the Colosseum.

He was still wearing the Crow Mask but he didn't care about hiding his identity anymore. The black cloak hid his appearance very well but it was also a hindrance to his movements.

Thus, Nial abandoned it before he charged inside the Guild hall.

"I had placed an order for Origin crystals worth more than 14 billion contribution points. Are they ready?" He asked in a hurried voice. His appearance began to change drastically as black, leathery skin seemed to grow out of his fair human skin.

The receptionist stared at Nial for a few seconds with blank face. He swallowed his saliva and was unable to say a single word.

"Are they ready or not?" Nial thundered when the receptionist simply stared at him for five seconds. His voice reverberated through the guild hall, and most Adventurers turned to his direction as they felt a tingling sensation spreading through their bodies.

Nial had subconsciously used his Dominion ability to influence the mind of the beings he spoke to. As a result, the receptionist nodded his head in response and he began to move without even realizing it.

"The Guild hall provided a mass purchase discount. Have a nice day," The receptionist's voice was monotonous as he handed Nial a seemingly ordinary spatial ring.

Nial accessed the spatial ring and he began to smile brightly. A humongous mountain made of countless Origin crystals had been stored inside the spatial ring that was much bigger in size than most spatial rings in Nial's possession.

The young Original smiled lightly, he nodded his head and disappeared once again.

Countless Adventurers stared at the retreating figure of the Crow Mask, and both the wingless Gryphon and his rider, the little girl, who followed him for every single step.

"Isn't the wingless Gryphon the companion of the human Original from the Thousand Bodies Refinements Dojo?" One of the stronger Adventurers asked in curiosity and others nodded their heads, agreeing to the former's guess.

Nial knew that his identity was being exposed but that didn't matter. He could either be considered a wealthy tycoon or an individual with unimaginable potential in the business world but Nial's focus was somewhere else.

It was time to leave Alliance City and make his way back to the Forest of Life. Troublesome days awaited him there but Nial was fine with that.

His hard work and planning had paid off and allowed him to bind two new ability crystals to his Mana Core. Now, it was time for him to make use of his new and old abilities to get his hand on his fifth and last ability crystal, the Swirl of Chaos!

Nial rushed through Alliance City while spreading out his range of perception and his Mana Sense. This allowed him to perceive everything that happened in a range of close to 100 kilometers.

'The Heligav are trying to get back to their headquarters....but the others are pulling them to the least populated outskirts of the city...seems like the Overlords of Alliance City are not as united as everyone says they are!' Nial was amused by what he saw.

The creation of the Alliance City was something exceptional because it was the first neutral city created with the help of 10 races. More races joined the City and yet another Overlord had gotten his way through the rows of the Devons as well. Alliance City was flourishing and it was obvious that the city would grow exponentially and so would the wealth of everyone with the capability to grasp opportunities when they were unveiled in front of them.

And that was exactly what could be considered the biggest problem. Too many races had sensed the opportunity to get their hands on the Swirl of Chaos right now.

They might have failed to procure the ability crystal with the use of their contribution points, but that didn't mean they couldn't get their hands on the Swirl of Chaos now that the Keltia Heligav had left the Colosseum.

Fighting might be prohibited in Alliance City but it would be near-impossible to enforce this law and control the crowd of thousands of powerful Originals if they were to initiate a brawl all of a sudden.

It was even less likely for the protectors of Alliance City to do anything because a bunch of Divon races was trying to reach out their grasp to the Swirl of Chaos ability crystal.

"Considering that it's not possible to store the Swirl of Chaos ability crystal in any kind of storage it's only obvious that many are trying to get their hands on the ability crystal...but even then...I didn't expect the Divon races to be willing to sacrifice their peace for a mere ability crystal. They cannot even use it, to begin with!" Nial blurted out his thoughts and both Ryu and the little Oracle nodded their heads as they reached one of the deserted districts in Alliance City that had no inhabitants.

It was a newly constructed district and exactly what Nial required.

Thus, he released more than half of the Origin crystals he had just purchased, meaning Origin crystals were worth more than seven billion contribution points.

His high mana aptitude allowed him to expand his Mana sense and access every single one of the Origin crystals he had just retrieved.

"Let's go!!" Nial shouted at the top of his lungs all of a sudden as he unleashed all his Mana, Essence of Darkness, and Dark energy at the same time.

He used every bit of energy within his body to control the pure Mana within the Origin crystals.

The pure Mana from the Origin crystals was inserted inside his body, which allowed Nial to activate [Awakening of the Prymal].

"Come forth, Tyrant of Destruction!" Nial shouted as he inserted the tremendous amount of mana that was unleashed from millions of high-quality Origin crystals to activate the ability that had evolved from the Summoning ability crystal.

His entire being screamed that the only way to attain whatever he wanted was to activate [Awakening of the Prymal] and to shout out what he had just screamed hoarsely.

There was no way that Nial knew what exactly was going on but he trusted his gut feeling and the sensation he felt from the Heart of Darkness.

Thus, he kept forwarding all the pure Mana that swept through his Mana. The black stigma of the Awakening of the Prymal ability was shining in a gloomy dark color and a chilling cold spread out from Nial's body all of a sudden.

Darkness oozed out of his body and it slowly began spreading in the direction of the dark alley. Nial might not be able to see anything but he could clearly perceive the darkness that shrouded the walls of the alley and the humongous Gate that was slowly forming out of the darkness Nial unleashed.

Hot, stinging pain manifested in his Mana Core and Nial clutched his chest with a pained expression, making him spit out blood all of a sudden.

However, instead of panicking, or trying to do something against the sudden change of the situation, Nial began to smile brightly.

"Heed the commands of your Essence, the Fraction of your Soul, and the Darkness within your Heart, and come to me, your new Master and the Source of your life!" Nial's voice boomed through the surroundings. His breath was accompanied by the purest Essence of Darkness within Nial's body and his voice was amplified to such an extent that it was terrific enough to cause the surrounding ground to tremble wildly, the glass windows to shatter, and the building constructions all around him to shake wildly.

Nial's smiled kept widening as he felt tremendous power surging through the humongous Gate he was manifesting. Huge cracks formed on the walls that were crumbling due to the force he exerted but Nial couldn't care less about that. He was just smiling brightly as he visualized what was happening around him right now.

The Awakening of the Prymal ability had worked out, one of its functions had been unleashed and a terrifying existence was about to emerge from the Gate the moment it would be fully constructed.

'This is exactly what I need. Come on!!' Nial exclaimed triumphantly, his excitement overwhelming him as both his heart and his Heart of Darkness started to beat erratically.

There was no holding back anymore as all the pure mana from the Origin crystals worth seven billion contribution points swept through his body, just to keep empowering the Awakening of the Prymal ability.

Meanwhile, Nial retracted the Dark energy, Essence of Darkness, and the Mana he had used to control the Origin crystals' Mana.

He needed all of this for later.

After all, there was a Keltia ranked Heligav to defeat and a City Brawl to overcome!
