Odyssey of the Blind God

Chapter 566 Mythician Dungeon

When Nial returned to the shelter, everything was back to normal.

The enslaved men and women returned to where they came from. Their mission had been to figure out what happened to the poacher unit and to return home afterward. The group of enslaved humans was not supposed to get their hands on the Phoenix Fire Lion cubs if they were still alive since their equipment was not customized for the hunt of a bunch of Phoenix Fire Lions.

The human poachers had been equipped with all kinds of runic armaments, which were probably more valuable to the Demon race than the human poachers' lives.

Nial didn't even bother collecting the runic armaments wielded by the human poachers since he could create better runic armaments, to begin with. There was no need for him to collect any trash.

Once he was back in the shelter, Nial focused on his tasks once again and a long time passed in which more Dracos, all kinds of Elves and other races were slowly heading towards the Origin Shelter. The shelter continued to expand and the Shelturion rebels chose to move in as well. They were still worried about other races attacking them all of a sudden or being found out by the Shelturion race's government but their worry dispersed knowing that Nial was in charge here.

While the Orion shelter started to flourish, Nial finished creating his first Darkness Pillar. The surge of power he felt when he completed the Darkness Pillar was expected but it was still a little more intense than anticipated. He placed the Curse Hodur's Heir upon the Darkness Pillar in order to reinforce the lethality of the Curse.

His senses underwent a drastic change. They became more sharper and sensitive than before, which was why Nial had to spend several days just trying to regulate the sensation he felt from the enhanced Curse. He was already blind and could hardly get 'even blinder'. That left him with the benefits of the Curse rather than the disadvantages.

Once Nial had gotten a hang of his senses, he noticed that his mana perception had increased drastically as well. That was to be expected but Nial realized something he couldn't have guessed to have occurred.

'Can I sense the impurities and attributes within the mana around me? That's pretty useful…' Nial thought, immediately trying to put this to test. He wanted to make use of the new gains he made but that was a little bit hard since the happenings in the surrounding regions affected him quite a bit.

The Orion shelter started to flourish, various origin humans began to flood the shelter and it was only a matter of time before the first sparks of conflicts would occur. Smaller disputes had happened before but it had been possible for the assigned guards of the Orion shelter to intervene before things spiraled out of control.

However, those small conflicts were not exactly troublesome since everyone was busy increasing their fortune to accumulate enough wealth in order to purchase Cultivation pills, different runic armaments, and various other high-quality goods that didn't exist anywhere else.

Cultivation pills existed, but only for Demi Gods, Gods, and Ancient Gods to make use of since most of them were filled with Divine energy. It was possible for beings below the Trixor rank to consume these Divine Cultivation Pills but the aftereffects of the act would leave serious repercussions on their bodies and minds. Not even Nial would consume Divine Cultivation Pills, not even after he reached the Mythician rank.

He had more than enough time to collect high-quality Origin crystals if he was willing to spend a fortune just to accelerate his cultivation progress a tiny bit.

But that didn't seem necessary anymore either since he could perceive the attribute within Mana. Nial could even perceive the mana streams that were void of impurities which was also something he could and would make use of.

The amplification of Hodur's Heir felt like an evolution of the ability. It was quite exciting and it made Nial anticipate the changes in his other four linked abilities after his Sea of Darkness finished constructing more Darkness Pillars.

"The first Mythician-ranked dungeon portal was found in the midst of the mountain-range region!" Melheim Zorn shouted out loudly as he rushed over to Nial.

"Did it finally manifest? I thought we would never have a Mythician-ranked dungeon. Lucky us," Nial's voice held a trace of excitement, just for Melheim to shake his head wildly.

"That's not good, at all! I don't know what is happening but all dungeons in the mountain-range region are showing signs of breaking out all of a sudden!" Melheim Zorn responded in a grave voice, his expression was ghastly pale.

The mountain-range region had roughly ten times more dungeon portals than any other region adjacent to the plateau. In fact, the entire plateau didn't have a single dungeon portal, which made it seem as if the mountain range deprived the plateau of its dungeon portals.

"Every single dungeon is about to breakout? That…is indeed weird…" Nial mumbled as a few more words tumbled out of his mouth, "Could it be related to the Mythician dungeon? I heard that some of those dungeons influence their surroundings…the stronger they are the higher their influence of the surrounding area…"

Nial quickly figured the root cause of their problem but that didn't mean he could solve it easily. If every dungeon in the mountain-range region were to breakout, millions of powerful dungeon beasts would emerge of it in and lay waste on the plateau. That was not necessarily bad, if not for more than ten Keltia and 30 Deux-ranked dungeon portals to be situated in the mountain-range region.

? Sooner or later a few Mythician dungeon beasts would emerge from the newly materialized dungeon, which would probably lead to the strongest beast marking and creating its new territory. The weaker dungeon beasts would automatically be pushed away, or they would flee on their own accord creating a horde of dungeon beasts charging at the Orion Shelter.

Of course, that was just one of the things that could happen. It was not unlikely that the dungeon beasts would tear each other apart and that there was not actually a need to be worried about anything.

Nonetheless, Nial couldn't help but feel that the Mythician Dungeon was not to be taken lightly. Fighting a Mythician Dungeon Beast with Erio by his side shouldn't be that difficult, however, conquering a High Mythician Dungeon was a completely different matter altogether. Entire civilizations might be inhabiting the Mythician Dungeon, after all!

Nial was pretty sure that he had already enough on his plate since the mana density all over Jundra had increased tremendously during the last few years. The last few months had been the most intense and it was only a matter of time before more Mythician dungeons would finally materialize.

It was also quite obvious that more and more Mythician-ranked Originals were finding their way to Milarn. The Elves had close to 10 Mythician-ranked High Elves in the Forest of Life by now, and they were the fastest in that regard. Their Divinity Fragment portal provided the least complicated transport between worlds, which gave Nial a rough indicator of how fast he would have to improve his strength to deal with all the nuisances that may or may not emerge around him. It was always better to be safe than sorry.

"Conquering the Mythician Dungeon is not possible right now…so let's make use of this and obliterate the dungeon beasts that will emerge in the mountain-range region!" Nial proposed in a simple manner as a plan formed in his mind.
