Odyssey of the Blind God
Chapter 381 I don't care

"Enough of that. We don't have time for internal conflicts…" Princess Evalyne said, not sounding confident at all.

Nial could tell that his revelation caused various conflicting emotions to rise within her and it was only obvious that she began to doubt him.

He possessed the power of the most terrifying enemy the Elves had encountered in the entire history of their existence. Even if he was not yet as strong as the God of Darkness, it was obvious that Nial possessed the necessary talent.

'How did I not notice anything earlier? And what about Crevian? Didn't he feel odd about his power at all?' Evalyne was confused, more than anyone else at that.

However, she also knew that it was necessary for her to keep her calm and control the situation, otherwise, it would escalate.

"What will you do now?" Nial asked calmly, trying to figure out the plan of the Royal Princess.

His question had multiple meanings but Evalyne didn't have an answer to any of them.

"Yggdrasil was willing to link to you, which means that the Sacred tree knows about your power and its origin. The Fairy Queen gave you the Fairies' Blessing as well, meaning that both trust you enough," She said resignedly before she shrugged her shoulders.

Nial answered her questions quite honestly without trying to hide the facts that could turn them against him. He knew that Elves disliked destructive powers, and the powers of the God of Darkness had been the most dangerous and destructive.

That was why she regarded his honesty highly.

"Let's just see what the future awaits. I don't want to fight you as long as you don't act up against my people. Harming each other wouldn't help either of us. So…let's just work together!" Princess Evalyne said, slowly getting to a point where she could reach a conclusion about what had happened in the last few minutes.

She extended her hand to make sure that Nial understood what she wanted to do. After shaking their hands, both chose to work together, one way or another.

"What are you going to do against the Heligav? Their leader will probably attack you and every other human now that you've provoked him," Evalyne asked Nial after she let go of his hand.

Nial shrugged his shoulders, not really worried about the oncoming threats.

"I don't care…not anymore. I will kill them…all of them!" He declared, clearly knowing that the extent to which he could go to make it happen was jarringly clear to the Elves especially now that they found out whose powers he possessed.

However, Nial couldn't care anymore.

He had lost everything, and the Heligav were partially at fault for this. Thus, Nial was ready to eradicate the Heligav race from Jundra. There was no mercy left in his heart.

He knew a way to become strong enough to fight most Heligav as long as he advanced to the Prometheus rank and he finished the Odyssey seed's evolution!

Nial would then be able to wield Tier-2 Runic armaments properly, which would increase his strength even further.

But runic armaments wouldn't be the most essential portion of his true power, that was something Nial knew for sure.

He was ready to do everything that was necessary to become stronger and take revenge, EVERYTHING!

There was no scope for mercy, even if it was Mathias, Master Crevian or anyone else who would dare cross his path.

"You will die fighting the Heligav all by yourself…you should know that!" Princess Evalyne exclaimed, trying to convince Nial that he shouldn't act recklessly and that it was more important for him to calm down and think rationally.

But rationality was the last thing one could expect from Nial just now.

His eyes were pitch-black as he turned in Evalyne's direction. She felt a sudden pressure coming from Nial and a crimson red dot manifested in his eyes in the center where his pupils ought to be.

The crimson red dot enlarged and it covered the black that had engulfed his eyes before. His eyes turned crimson red in their entirety before they started to glow brightly as a devilish smile formed on Nial's face.

"Who said that I will be alone?" He asked quietly, while the Royal Princess felt bewitched as she stared deep into Nial's crimson eyes.

The High Elves and the Sacred Elves felt a sudden pressure weighing on them. Meanwhile, the ordinary Elves, who had also come to spectate the battle were unable to endure the suffocating pressure Nial released.

Their legs gave in and they ended up kneeling on the ground, using every ounce of strength within their body to prevent themselves from getting pushed into the ground.

Nial's devilish smile widened when he visualized this. However, even before the stronger High Elves could react and obstruct Nial, he retracted his pressure.

His eyes turned lifeless and milky white once again and his devilish smile turned kind once again.

"Or do you think the Elves should continue to shy away from fighting their nemesis?" Nial asked calmly when he saw that everyone's attention was upon him.

"How many Elves died because the Heligav race was left alive? Hundreds of thousands? Millions?" He asked out loud making all the Elves around him think hard about the answers before he continued to speak,

"Now the opportunity to take revenge has come forward. The time is ripe to attack the Heligav on Jundra. Their numbers are much less and there is a lot less powerful Heligav at the Keltia rank. The only question is how long will the Heligav be at a disadvantage? How long will they need to increase their numbers, become stronger, and actively oppose the Elves' progress on Jundra? Whether it is weeks, months or years doesn't matter.

If you start to overwhelm them right now, the Elves and humans will be able to dominate them on Jundra until the end of time! Is that not what you want? A place where your youngest won't have to be scared of any dangers, a place where they can grow without any restrictions?!?"

Nial had a lot more to say but he chose to quiet down after he finished his short speech. He allowed the Elves to make their own conclusion, to reconsider his words, and reflect on their life choices and future path.

The Nightshadow Elves and the Dark Elves were evidently on his side. Their loyalty seemed to have increased after they got to know that he possessed the power of the God of Darkness because the High Elves and Sacred Elves had shown signs of discriminating against him because of that power.

And that was even though Yggdrasil and the Fairy Queen had accepted Nial's power without hesitation. This just showed that the prejudice of most Elven races was wrong, which was why they felt much closer to Nial than before.

It was a bit weird that the Nightshadow Elves and Dark Elves felt much closer to him all of a sudden, but it was certainly advantageous, and Nial wanted to make use of this!

"I'm just waiting for the permission to wage an all-out war from the Empress, and the other Elven Lords to gain control over their people. Afterward, I would have initiated warfare against the Heligav, either way!" Princess Evalyne said before she sighed deeply.

She could tell that Nial had become increasingly impatient and had nothing but death on his mind. It was kind of frustrating but also understanding if one knew about his circumstances.

"Are two weeks enough?" Nial asked straightforwardly and the Princess nodded her head after pondering about it.

"Two weeks should be more than enough," She answered in affirmative, while her mind wandered off.

Evalyne thought about Nial's power and the fact that it was basically the same power the God of Darkness possessed. Telling her mother and the Elven Lords about this was something she ought to do but the Princess hesitated for a moment.

"Just tell them about the origin of my power," Nial suggested as if he knew what the Royal Princess was bothered about.

"Huh? What did you say?" Evalyne asked, not sure if she understood properly. Her eyes widened and she stared absentmindedly at Nial.

"You can tell your mother about the origin of my power. I don't really care," Nial repeated himself, not mentioning that he was pretty sure that the Elven Empress could already guess where his powers stemmed from.

It would be weird for the Elven Empress not to know what was going on in her own place, and it was not as if he had been particularly careful with the use of his dark energy.

Whether that was a mistake or not was up for debate and the answer would unveil itself in the future. As for now, Nial had to become much stronger in the following two weeks.

There was no time to waste, which was why he left behind the baffled Royal Princess as he dashed in the direction of the Forest of Life.

Most Dungeons were located in that direction, which was where his targets were located as well; hundreds of dungeon portals that were waiting to be conquered and devoured from within!

Meanwhile, as Nial left quickly, the Nightshadow Elves and Dark Elves wondered what they were supposed to do. In the end, they didn't follow Nial because they were certain that he was sure what he was doing.

However, they couldn't help but feel a little bit weird as well. It was hard to imagine that Nial's power was related to the God of Darkness.

"Is it really possible to procure the Innate ability of an Ancient God? I mean…the God of Darkness is said to have disappeared tens of thousands of years ago. Usually when Gods disappear that means they died and their body couldn't be found…how is it possible for an Innate ability to be found on the sealed away Origin…" One of the Nightshadow Elves asked, voicing out his confusion.

Many others intended to answer instinctively but they didn't open their mouth to spout nonsense because they didn't know the exact answer.

"I just know that the prophecy shouldn't be wrong…and that Nial might be the answer…though, his power seems to be something we should pay more attention to…" Princess Evalyne said, not exactly sure what they should do with Nial either.

It was obvious that the Nightshadow Elves and the Dark Elves were drawn toward him, for various reasons at that, but that didn't mean they were narrow-minded, let alone subjects that followed their master blindly.

They asked the same questions others had in mind, and if not for their violent attitude and destructive powers, they would have been accepted by every single Elven race a long time ago.

"Princess…are you sure that we should attack the Heligav? Will the Empress really give you permission to attack them on Jundra? This will probably lead to an all-out war, within and outside Jundra….is that really acceptable?" A High Elf asked the question many Elves wondered about and the Princess could only smile bitterly.

"We will see whether the Empress accepts it or not, but I am certain that it won't matter whether we attack the Heligav race or not because Nial will do whatever it takes to eradicate them, and the Nightshadow Elves will follow him…" Evalyne answered, looking over to the Nightshadow Elves, who were overflowing with the intention to kill the Heligav.

The Heligav race had been a nuisance to the Elven races for a long time, and it was only now that the perfect opportunity had unveiled itself in front of them.

How could the Nightshadow Elves not take it?

Whether it was for Nial or for themselves, they would let their blades do the talking and the killing!
