Odyssey of the Blind God

Chapter 584 Elementalist

"So you finally found her?" Nial asked impatiently, tapping his finger against the wooden armrest of the chair he was sitting on.

"We found three origin humans of which one suits the description of Bella Morningstar. But there is one weird thing…" The Scout of the Selivart race trailed off, unsure how to report his findings.

The Selivart race was one of the many races whose refugees chose to find a place to live in the Orion Shelter. They were exceptional at finding people which was mostly owed to their sixth sense. One could compare it to an extraordinary ability, a means to find exactly who or what one was looking for.

"What was weird?...Wait, did you just say three origin humans? Tell me more about it" Nial asked while his eyebrows creased. He was pretty sure that he had misunderstood something.

"The weird thing is related to the three origin humans. One of them, the woman who fits the description of Bella Morningstar, fought side by side with the Angels, against the two other origin humans, who're oddly powerful for origin humans. Our senses told us that they're origin humans, which means that we're unlikely to be wrong.

But that is weird, isn't it? There shouldn't be an origin human at the Keltia rank yet, let alone someone at the Mythician rank!" The Selivart voiced out his confusion and Nial was beginning to feel confused as well.

"An origin human at the Keltia rank and one at the Mythician rank…? That's unexpected," Nial affirmed, squinting his eyes.

He was pretty sure that the stronger origin human he met had less than 20% of his Mana Sea liquefied. There was still a long way to go before they would be able to advance to the Keltia rank.

But even then, it was possible to reach the Keltia rank if one encountered a bunch of fruitful events, or was talented enough to make use of cultivation resources in the most efficient way.

Unfortunately, the same couldn't be said about reaching the Mythician rank. It wasn't easy to reach the Mythician rank while being a origin human.

Jundra awakened its origin not even two decades ago, and the strongest beings had been at the Mid Prometheus rank at that time. There was no way that someone advanced to the Mythician rank so quickly. Even Nial was not capable of achieving something like that.

Though even if it was not possible under normal means, Nial knew that it was still possible. After all, he had been to the Realm of the Forgotten Time himself.

If he were to be allowed to stay there for a few hundred years, he could easily advance to the Mythician rank and possibly even create multiple Darkness Temples in the meantime. Meanwhile, only one day would pass in the outside world for every year that elapsed in the Realm of the Forgotten Time.

"I wonder if he found a way to a similar place where time could be twisted," Nial mumbled but Selivat promptly corrected him.

"It is a woman!" The Selivat said, which snapped Nial out of his thoughts.

"Who is a woman?"

"...the origin human reaching the Mythician rank, of course. The Mythician Original is a woman, and the Keltia Original is a man. Though the man can fight a bunch of Keltia Angels at the same time, he is not even close to reaching the same combat prowess as the female Mythician Original. Though something about her is a little bit weird, she is extremely powerful!"

? Nial's lifeless, milky white eyes stared unfocused in the direction of the Selivat's Scouts before a heavy sigh escaped his lips.

"What exactly is so weird about her?"

The Selivat thought about it for a moment before he answered Nial's question.

"While the man makes use of his powers as an Elementalist, the woman didn't seem to be able to use any abilities. Her Mana is very pure and her raw strength is terrific and strong enough to tear apart a Mythician Elite Angel with her bare hands, but she cannot, or doesn't use any abilities!"

Nial's heart skipped a beat when he heard what the Selivat said. His mind went blank and he jumped up from his chair.

"Alright, thanks. Good job. Tell Melheim that I instructed him to reward you handsomely. I will leave now, share your reports with Melheim as well when you talk about your reward," Nial said hurriedly before he disappeared from his position.

He re-emerged in his Mansion where Ryu and a few of Nial's Devils were currently sleeping.

Clearing his throat, Nial woke up his sleepy companions who sensed the tension within Nial's body almost immediately.

"We're going out to hunt some Angels. Is everyone ready?" Nial asked without expecting an answer. The Devils would have to follow him whether they wanted or not.

Over two years had passed since Nial sent out Scouts to search for Bella, and now that they found her it was about time for him to get his revenge. However, that was not the reason why he was rushing things.

Nial's gut feeling told him that there was something about the two other origin humans that was far more important than Bella, whom he was already regarding as a dead person.

He was currently only making assumptions and wild theories but that was more than enough for him to feel a little excited!

The Devils stared at him for a second before they disappeared in the darkness that shrouded them all of a sudden. They returned to the Heart of Darkness where they were kept securely.

Ruy merged with the darkness as well. However, instead of entering the Heart of Darkness, the emblem of a Gryphon was engraved all over his right arm. The emblem was black in color and it further fortified Nial's right arm.

He was not sure since when the Darkness Gryphon was able to fuse with Nial's body but they found out about it one day when Nial was caressing Ryu like usual.

It was a great gain, but not something worth mulling over right now. He was more focused on collecting his Devils to depart as soon as possible. Less than half an hour passed before every Devil was back where they belonged, inside Nial.

Meanwhile, Nial was standing in front of the Royal Princess with a bright smile on his face.

"Can you take me into the midst of the Angel Kingdom? High in the air above the Angel Kingdom is also fine. Preferably I would like to be on the western border of the Angel Kingdom. Fighting my way through the Angel Kingdom's main entrance is a nuisance!"

The Royal Princess stared at Nial for a second before she nodded her head. It had been quite some time since she had returned to the Orion Shelter. As for her current mission, it was to get her hands on more Forgotten Runic Armaments, preferably mechanisms such as the Forgotten Runic Cannon.

"If you give me three Forgotten Runic Armaments, I will do—...." She stopped as Nial lifted his hand.

"Fine, just teleport me!"

It was obvious that Nial was impatient, but who wouldn't be in his position?

After all, he knew only one Elementalist of the origin human race with the capabilities to reach the Keltia rank and he wanted her blood!
