Odyssey of the Blind God

Both Devils, Kaeldur and Tyrant were far from ordinary Originals at the Deux rank. They were much stronger and faster than ordinary Deux-rank Originals.  At the same time, they had more experience than God-like existences because they had been on par with Gods in the past.

In their prime, the two Devils had fought by Damian's side against countless powerful opponents. Thus, defeating someone at the Deux rank was supposed to be an easy task for them.

However, that was not the case against all kinds of Originals even if they were in possession of powers that could hardly be countered by beings at the Deux rank.

That was why it shouldn't have been a problem for Kaeldur and Tyrant to defeat Michael Ignis by themself, let alone in a four versus one battle with someone like Nial by their side who made use of his tremendous powers and even Broken Runic Armaments.

Neither Nial nor the three others on his side had unleashed their full power in the fight against the Draco. It hadn't been necessary to fight desperately against Michael Ignis given that they had too many advantages to begin with.

Despite that, Nial was pretty sure that Michael Ignis was one of the most talented prodigies in the Draco race. Even the Royal Princess, whose inherited powers and potential were extraordinary, wasn't able to rival Michael Ignis in terms of strength.

That was something the Royal Princess had been able to tell instinctively, which was the reason for her choosing Nial as the representative of the Elven race.

She was overjoyed that Nial had won, but her bright smile faltered when Nial approached her with a sly smile.

"You better give me a good reward, otherwise, I will snatch the Greater Forest Dragon egg!"

This comment was more than enough to nearly destroy the moment for her.

She rolled her eyes and felt like giving Nial a good punch. However, after recalling how Nial had defeated Michael Ignis, she frowned.

"Your runic armaments are really frightening…" Princess Evalyne responded without bothering to answer Nial's question.

"Oi…that's not the point right now.." Nial interrupted and explained why the silverish-white beam was so powerful, "Furthermore, I used the Power of Chaos to enhance the strength of the broken runic spear. Others won't be able to achieve the same result even if I create the exact same broken runic spear again!"

"...but let's get back to the more important point. I saved you lots of trouble by preventing the Dracos from invading the Forest of Life. No matter how much you prepared while stalling time, half of the Forest of Life and your forces would have ended up as casualties if not for me!" He said while holding out his palm open in front of her as if he demanded to be paid right off the bat.

However, the Royal Princess merely smiled in response before she swatted his hand away. She smiled cheekily which Nial visualized in frustration.

"Teasing me won't help you. I'm serious…I will take the Greater Forest Dragon and turn him into a Devil…" Nial grumbled which caused the Royal Princess to chuckle. "Yes, yes, you can just try it!"

It was obvious that she didn't take his threat seriously. Thus, Nial ended up turning around with a sigh.

He heard the Dracos mumbling to each other, gossiping whether it was fair that the Elven used a representative of another race, that their representative summoned two Devils all of a sudden, or that he used this weird runic spear to defeat their candidate.

Some were also wondering what type of spear he had used to create such tremendous strength, and that was where Nial chose to intervene.

"I started to create Broken Runic Armaments that can be used by Originals of a lower rank to release a much higher attack power than their rank allowed them to. The Broken Runic Armaments break after you use them at full power just once but the effect is pretty good as you could see for yourselves.

My Broken Tier-2 Runic spear was strong enough to destroy a defensive type Tier-2 runic shield and pierce through the shoulder of a Peak Deux-rank Draco after he used his Draconic Transformation and blue flames to increase his already high endurance."

Nial spoke in a calm and composed manner as he explained the existence of Broken Runic Armaments to the Dracos. He was not sure if they knew that something like that existed or even could be created or not. Maybe they thought that it was a sin to create runic armaments that would break after a single use.

The Dracos were very prideful which Nial was aware of. He knew that his words might hurt their pride in multiple ways at that, but it was necessary to attract their attention!

As he had already expected the situation to escalate a little, he was not even surprised when the tension in the surroundings intensified all of a sudden.

"Do you want to pick a fight?" A Draco at the Keltia rank asked sharply. His voice was ice-cold but his eyes burned fiercely. It was evident that he was ready to fight Nial right at this instance and put him in his place.

"Of course not. I just want to make sure that you guys pay more attention to what I have to say, and given that you are so darn proud of your race and achievements, I had to rub a little bit of salt on your wounds," Nial responded and realized a bit late that he might have simply aggravated them more. Thus, he fixed his earlier comment.

"I wanted your attention to talk about business while your leader is getting hold of the Greater Forest Dragon egg!"

The Dracos Leader had yet to leave to get the Greater Forest Dragon egg from their native planet, or wherever the egg was currently located, but that would take a while. It was a waste of precious time to idle around in the meantime.

"Are you fucking kidding me, right now? Why the hell would you insult us and then talk about business?" The same Keltia-ranked Draco snapped at him, his voice was still sharp and cold.

"I got your attention, and the others are paying more attention to me now as well. I think my plan worked out pretty well," Nial responded calmly, appearing satisfied with himself.

The Keltia-ranked Draco didn't like Nial's attitude but that was something Nial couldn't care less about.

"You!!...How about I beat the shit out of you then?!" He cried while stepping closer to Nial, who didn't move a single inch.

He just smiled at the Draco while gathering his Mana, dark energy and Essence of Darkness. He amplified the words he was about to say with a mixture of these three energies while using the majority of it to activate Dominion.

"Kneel!"

His voice boomed through the surroundings and most Dracos and even Elves who heard Nial almost went down on their knees almost instantly.

Yet, only the Keltia-ranked Draco ended up on his knees without realizing it at first. He was the only target of Dominion but Nial was not yet done.

He targeted Vengeance of Chaos around the top of his right foot as he spun around to execute a roundhouse kick against the head of the Draco, whose head flung due to the impact before he collapsed on the ground.

"Thanks for making sure that I got everyone's attention…idiot."
