Odyssey of the Blind God

Chapter 622 Protect The Demihumans!

The entire Arcania Realm was overflowing with Origin Mana, the strongest, purest, and most compressed type of energy ever recorded. Nial knew only what Origin Mana was thanks to the memories of the Late God of Darkness.

And the things he recalled about Origin Mana were certainly interesting enough to make sure that he would get one Slot.

"It's only one Slot and only usage. I'm not thinking about taking away your slot permanently. In exchange, you get 500 of those Blazing Ruby Orbs that nobody in the ENTIRE Universe can replicate with the same efficiency and potency!" Nial explained.

His words made sense. He was the only one able to create this type of Blazing Ruby Orb because more than 10 forgotten runic constellations had been combined in the 100+ other runic constellations that had been engraved onto the metal frame and the Blazing Ruby. Even if one were to ignore the forgotten runic constellations, only a handful of Saint Runiciers would be capable enough to recreate a similar Blazing Ruby Orb as he had created.

Of course, they were likely to be able to create upgraded versions, but they would have to spend more time producing a single Blazing Ruby Orb. Furthermore, no Saint Runicier would produce a total of 500 runic armaments for a single individual.

Even Gods had to pay a ginormous fortune just to get hold of a Saint Runicier's time and attention. Even if the Grand Elder didn't know much about Runiciers, he had seen the result of his creation. It was better than any lasers and other types of weapons they had created until now. That simply meant Nial's creation could develop space traveling drastically!

Giving away one Slot for the Arcania Realm, for only ten years, was definitely worth it. That was even something the Grand Elder understood.

"If…only If you finish all Blazing Ruby Orbs by the time the Gates to the Arcanie Realm open, I will allow you to enter the Arcania Realm!" The Grand Elder said, gritting his teeth. He acted as if he was at a disadvantage here, even though Nial was actually the one who made fewer gains.

Maybe he made more gains as an individual, but the Demihumans would gain more overall from his supply of Blazing Ruby Orbs.

Of course, Nial was more focused on himself. He was certain that the Origin Mana in the Arcania Realm would be more than enough to elevate his cultivation rank to the Peak of the Mythician rank, and that was something he was looking forward to.

"In that case, bring me the resources mentioned on the list, including the meat for Shadow, Godsly, his assistants, and the best workshop you have!" Nial said, stretching his body as he was more than ready to start with the creation of the runic armaments as quickly as possible.

In no time, Nial was led to a huge workshop where Godsly and more than a dozen assistants were already waiting for him.

"Kiddo, I heard that your creation will be used for our Space Ships to make sure that our casualties will decrease drastically," Godsly, the Wolf Demihuman, said while his hand reached out with a faint smile on his lips, "I never expected that these creations of yours would be capable of providing any type of help. I've underestimated you and even talked badly behind your back, thinking that you were wasting precious resources. Please accept my apology!"

Nial didn't expect Godsly to apologize. Godsly was one of the best blacksmiths Nial had ever seen. In fact, he was probably the best blacksmith Nial had ever been around, observing his forging process with great interest. Siegfried was probably on par with Godsly but Nial never witnessed Siegfried forging.

Either way, Nial was fully aware of how prideful blacksmiths were. For Godsly to apologize meant that he put aside his pride!

Nial reached out with his hand. He grasped Godsly's thick hand and shook it tightly.

"Let's make sure to protect the Demihumans from further harm!" Nial announced with pride in his voice, while secretly hoping that nobody could discern that he was actually just blabbering nonsense and acting. Even though there were a bunch of nice Demihumans, he couldn't help but think that they were way too discriminative considering that most of them were half-human half-animal/monster. Most of them looked differently, in the first place, yet the moment an ordinary human, or someone who looked human entered their view, they would make weird faces.

Funnily enough, Nial was not even human, so their reaction didn't really make sense, in the first place. But that was the least troublesome because Nial had his ways to deal with everything. He would rather focus on his work and make it seem as if he cared about the Demihumans to make sure that every single one of them would work their ass off to finish every single one of the five hundred Blazing Ruby Orbs in the allocated time.

"Just believe in us!" Godsly said, his voice also filled with pride as his grasp tightened around Nial's hand in excitement, "We will give our best to protect our beloved race!"

Nial was satisfied with the answer and they began their work not long after as the requested resources arrived. Because the resources to produce the Blazing Ruby Orb were rare, collecting everything would require some time. But that was fine since the Grand Elder's special storage had already enough materials to finish half of the demanded goods. Once the Grand Elder's storage was emptied, new resources would reach them.

Meanwhile, the Devil Roc and Shadow were 'training' high above the city, playing around while testing their special traits and the limitations of their strength to the limit.

This was something they would keep doing for the next two years while eating a massive amount of the Waikyura Meat that the Grand Elder provided for both Devils to make sure that Nial was pleased.

After all, Nial created slightly improved Blazing Ruby Orbs rather than the experimental good of the same quality.

The Grand Elder was overjoyed, and he didn't regret that his wallet was bleeding severely.
