Odyssey of the Blind God

Chapter 755 Fated Fight (2/10)

?

Even if Nial was not fully prepared for this encounter, it looked like the Divine Goddess was totally dumbfounded.

She was not mentally prepared to encounter Nial, the Crown Prince of the Lacardia Empyren Void, the baby whose eyes she stole, and the person who stole her divine energy, all in one person as Dark Successor.

This had to be a joke! 

She had always been prepared for everything. Her network across the Universe was impeccable. Nobody could rival it.

Her intelligence was unfathomable and so was her talent to scheme complex plans that required tens of years to come into effect. 

That was the person she was. The Advocate of the Pryard. 

Even though she was a traitor of the Universe, what did it matter? The Universe was one of the youngest existing Universes. Their power was insignificant. 

She wanted more, and the only ones who could give her what she wanted were the Pryards. What did it matter whether she betrayed her Universe?

However, even after being thorough with everything she did, making sure that nobody would be able to make out that she was the Advocate, the traitor of the universe, she could have never expected that Nial Lacardia had become the Dark Successor.

This had to be a big joke?!

Just as she was about to say something, her mouth already wide open, she noticed that something was off.

Her body tilted to the right and her mouth shut closed in an instant. 

It was at that moment a black spear shot past her face, grazing it lightly. 

Droplets of dark red blood trickled down to the ground and her eyes widened in terror. 

The Advocate's mind was in complete chaos. She was still able to use divine energy in this domain, but to restrict Nial's power she had erupted a special device that blocked of all mana, and cultivation energies related to mana.

This should have been enough to shock Nial and decrease his combat prowess drastically. 

So why was he unaffected, attacking her with a flurry of attacks that came flying at her with deadly precision?

Was he still able to use his mana to detect her presence?

This would be the worst possible situation if it was actually true!

"Wha…"

"All you know is how to spout nonsense…do you think I need to rely on my reinforced dark energy to kill someone like you? Do you think I need Damian's powers to get rid of you?" An eerily cold voice rang in her ears.

"You entrapped yourself by pulling me into this space with you. How funny." 

An explosion resounded and Nial's attacks accelerated. They became even deadlier.

The Advocate turned her head at the sudden explosion, her cheeks burning from the cut she received. 

Her expression changed drastically. Immense fury could be seen in it.

However, there was not much she could do right now. The Advocate knew that she had to regain her balance first and that it was necessary to remain calm and composed.

But was that easy while evading a furry of rapid and precise attacks? Not really.

Although she was not skilled in close-range combat, she was a powerful Divine Goddess with full access to her divine energy. Even if her enemy was strong enough to split entire plants, he would not be able to do anything against her. 

At that moment, she erupted a protection barrier that coated her body like a second layer of skin. It was just a little stronger than ordinary skin.

In fact, as long as she had some Divine energy reserves, the protection barrier was invincible. She was confident in the invincibility of her protection barrier.

However, even then, she fell backward in shock when Nial's Spear of Eternal Darkness slashed downward toward her head.

The blade narrowly brushed past her face and soon enough, from the forehead to her chin, a thin line was drawn on the 'invincible' protection barrier.

Nial's lips curled upward, and crimson chaos began to coat him as golden scales grew out of his skin.

'I can do the same as you, bitch!'

"How?!" The Advocate blinked while muttering aghast. Next, Nial clicked his tongue in disappointment.

When she looked around in shock, she quickly found the crimson-silver colored hue around the tip of Nial's spear. The naturally exuded darkness of the Eternal Darkness Spear hid most of the crimson chaos but it was impossible to hide all of it.

The crimson chaos spread across the entire blade of the Eternal Darkness Spear, powering up the weapon of death that was coming for the Advocate's Head.

Feeling a sense of urgency at the sight of Nial's attack, the Advocate gathered her divine energy at the point of impact. She blocked one of Nial's spear thrusts and successfully escaped the encirclement by flying away.

It was only then that Nial noticed something was odd.

'She has wings?' 

He heard the flapping of her wings.

This was news to Nial. He didn't expect the Advocate of the Pryard to be in possession of wings.

'Is that what Damian's memories meant? The Power all Advocates possessed…shapeshifting…'

The Advocates of the Pryard had all been in possession of the same unique power. They were able to shapeshift. However, that didn't mean they could turn into wolves or some other monsters. No, they could literally change the shape of their body by shifting it however they'd like. 

It was easier to call the Advocates' power "Transformation", or something along those lines, but the name of the power didn't matter. It was only important to know that he may be facing an opponent with 10 or more arms, hundreds of wings, and tens of heads, and not a normal 'human being'.

Nial never expected that the fight against the Advocate of the Pryard would be easy. He had to gear up a little.

Nial's golden scales were enveloped in crimson chaos.

Feeling the energy surging up from the bottom of his feet up to the strands of hair he breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to get pushed back little by little, so he had to keep increasing his strength to hold the ground.

The Advocate of the Pryard stared at Nial, whose strength quickly increased.

She should have made sure that Nial was not able to use any kind of energy rather than restricting his reinforced dark energy only.

Only then would she have a chance of success. 

However, she failed to realize this.

She couldn't blame anyone else. After all, she was all by herself and didn't realize the vast versatility of Nial's power.

"I just want to make sure," Nial said all of a sudden, "You never even considered surrendering, or did you?"

The Advocate twitched. She didn't say anything, but the heavy pressure that permeated the air was more than enough for Nial to understand what she meant.

Soon, she slowly tilted her head and stared far behind Nial. However, there was nothing to see.

Nial could hear her rough breathing, which made it easy to locate her. But he didn't attack even then.

Fighting against an opponent in the air while being unable to perceive her entire figure was not the smartest move.

"Are you already tired?" Nial mocked but he didn't receive an answer.

Instead, the Advocate of the Pryard began to speak about something else.

"Looks like your side is winning. The Divine Gods, Primordials, and Ancients are slowly surrendering. These fucking idiots!!" She said in contempt.

Nial, on the other hand, smiled lightly. 

"In that case, how big do you think are your chances of survival?" Nial asked, ready to keep mocking her, hoping that the provocation would lead to mistakes on the Advocate's side.

However, the Advocate answered calmly.

"I will probably die today."

'Huh?'

If Nial was not completely mistaken, the Advocate of the Pryard was relaxed and tranquil.

"You might not understand me but let me tell you about myself," A calm voice rang in Nial's ears.

"My life was filled with survival. I had to fight from the moment I was born. I was born a divine being with exceptional potential and no protection. I was easy prey. I never questioned my existence and simply fought. For hundreds of thousands of years, I fought, fought, and fought… Before I noticed, I had several galaxies beneath my feat.

Of course, that process wasn't honorable. It was bloody and filled with desperate moments."

"I hate this Universe. It makes me remind the times I had to beg for my life, the moment I turned into a filthy whore just to survive, the days when I escaped with my life hanging on a tiny hair-breadth thread. 

But none of that actually matters now. I was granted immense power and opportunities you cannot even fathom. I changed my identity numerous times while causing death and destruction. But that is not the most important."

The Advocate of the Pryard turned over to Nial.

"I am still standing here and now. I obliterated my enemies no matter who it was…and I will most likely continue to do so. Even in my death, I will never surrender."

"I will be standing here even after today passes. Just like I always have!"

Nial shuddered when he felt the absolute confidence in her voice. He was pretty sure that the Advocate knew that at this point, her army was destroyed and that she would be the next to fall.

So what was the reason behind her confidence? 

'What is her secret?'

He didn't feel that he had come out victorious yet. That was only obvious because the Advocate was still alive. However, something bothered him.

Just why was she still so confident even after everything that happened in the last few days?
