Odyssey of the Blind God
Chapter 463 Vengeance Of Chaos

The frozen mountain's Boss Beast was a four-meter-tall Yeti.

White fur covered the dungeon beast's entire body, and it towered above Nial. It was holding a huge blunt bat made of stones in its ridiculously long limbs.

Nial visualized the situation that occurred far away from him with little interest as he saw the Tyrant of Destruction getting beaten into a pulp.

[I don't know why he is trying so hard to overwhelm his opponents with nothing but brute force. It is exactly the same as in the past, though he got a lot weaker.]

Kaeldur's voice resounded in Nial's mind as he spent some time analyzing the fight between Tyrant and the Yeti. The Tyrant of Destruction didn't make use of any mana. He had fought the Dungeon Boss with nothing but brute force, just like Kaeldur had said before.

'We should just let him suffer then. Maybe he will get to his senses after the Yeti crushes his head and body!'

[If only that would be enough…]

While Nial and Kaeldur conversed through telepathy and shared their opinions of the opponents, the Tyrant of Destruction was giving his everything to fight the Yeti head-on.

However, this was rather difficult because the Yeti was at an environmental advantage, and it was not forced to restrict its own power by not using its abilities and mana.

The Dungeon Boss was in possession of a special trait that strengthened its fur the colder the surrounding area was. In the frozen mountain dungeon, this meant that its power was naturally higher than anywhere else. This was even more true when it came to the tip of the mountain where the freezing wind caused chills to spread all over the Tyrant's black shadow hide.

The Yeti and Tyrant delivered one strike after another on the head of their opponent. Their weapons were blunt but the might behind each strike was not to be underestimated.

'I would definitely die facing the attacks of these maniacs head-on…'

Blood spurted all over the tip of the mountain, but Nial wasn't worried about Tyrant. They thought Devil would survive, even if he were to leave the dungeon with a few bruises and a concussion.

As for the leashed dungeon beasts, Nial paid little attention to them. They were doing a good job on their own by tearing apart the residents of the frozen mountain.

Even the residents at the Deux rank were not strong enough to face a combined attack of a handful of ferocious beasts that joined hands with Kaeldur, who merged with the shadows of the dungeon beasts to attack them whenever the opportunity presented itself.

Nial, on the other hand, was not doing much. He tried to access the Vengeance of Chaos ability, but that was not as easy as it seemed.

He felt the ability and he could tell that he met the requirements to activate it. However, something seemed to hold him back from unleashing the power of his fifth and final ability.

'Is it because I'm confused about my family's situation? I know that it will take a long time for me to unravel my emotions and sort the mess…'

Nial hoped that the reason behind it was not his confused mind. Thus, he changed his way to approach the situation. He focused on a small pebble on the ground by visualizing it to the finest detail to drown out every other thought bothering him

The pebble became the highest priority for Nial's existence all of a sudden, and he subconsciously lifted his hand and pointed at the pebble with his flat hand.

Tremendous power surged through his arm all of a sudden, his muscles bulged all over his arm and his veins seemed to protrude through his skin when he squeezed his hand due to the horrifying pain.

All of a sudden, Kaeldur and Tyrant stopped in their tracks. Tyrant released a tremendous amount of dark energy to fling the Dungeon Boss hundreds of meters away, just to be able to turn his head in Nial's direction.

Kaeldur had also turned toward their Master and what he saw caused a devious grin overflowing with ecstasy to appear on his face.

The arm Nial had stretched out was enveloped in faint grayish currents. The grayish currents reached his hand, just to form a small ball in his palm moments before Nial clutched his hand to a fist.

The grayish ball burst open and it formed back to the gray currents that circulated around Nial's hand.

Yet, just when Kaeldur and Tyrant had expected something grand to happen, they realized that their master's action had already been completed.

A trace of the grayish currents had dispersed in order to twist, compress and burst open the tiny pebble that Nial had found not even five meters away from him.

However, Nial was not yet done with his experiments.

Wings sprouted out of his back and he shot high in the air before he burst in the direction of the closest Deux Dungeon Beast. There weren't many left in the frozen mountain dungeon but Nial found one with a few injuries.

It looked up at the flying Nial when it felt a horrifying strong presence from above, but even before it could do something the Dungeon Beast's sight blurred.

The Dungeon Beast looked down at its chest, where it felt an unbearable sting spreading out, affecting its body all over. Yet, what it saw when looking down was nothing unusual. It was still completely unscathed.

But then…why did it feel so weak all of a sudden…so tired, that it felt that it would never be able to wake up again?

The answer was Nial or the Vengeance of Chaos ability that had been unleashed through the wielder's right arm.

Grayish currents still shrouded his arm, but the amount had decreased once again. Meanwhile, a smile had formed on Nial's face as he was slowly getting an understanding of the ability.

'This ability doesn't really have a form but it will do whatever I want with it…that's pretty neat!'

The ability's name was grand, being called [Vengeance of Chaos] and all that, but its final use seemed to be much simpler than expected.

Nial had desired to twist, compress, and burst apart both the pebble and the heart of the Dungeon Beast at the Deux rank, and his wish had been granted not once but twice.

Testing out Vengeance of Chaos for the third time, just with a target further away for a change, Nial noticed a few things.

'So it's like this?'

He smiled when he noticed that more of the grayish currents were used up the moment he desired to slash through the throat of a beast further away from him.

In a fourth attempt, he tried to make use of the same slash on a nearby dungeon beast. This provided Nial with more information that he could make use of very easily.

The further his designated target was from him, the higher the consumption of currents. As for the exact extent of the wish, it would demand more or less of the power that had been accumulated in the Vengeance of Chaos ability.

Vengeance of Chaos could be activated with any type of energy but Nial noticed a few differences upon using the Blood Eclipse Moon's crimson power, mana, dark energy, and the Essence of Darkness.

The traits of every type of energy were clearly noticeable when used through the Vengeance of Chaos. The power he could unleash varied a lot, and so did the wishes he could grant by using different types of energy.

Calling it 'granting wishes' was a little bit exaggerated because he couldn't create miracles as of now but Nial couldn't think of a different way to think of his ability.

'A flexible power with a uselessly imposing name? A powerful all-rounder ability? Well…who cares…except me?'

Nial discarded those thoughts and ended up flying to the Yeti to use the Dungeon Boss as his guinea pig. There were lots of things to test out, with one of them being the limit his power held.

Thus, Nial ended up using a large amount of his Essence of Darkness to create new currents around his right arm. The grayish tone slowly changed into a dark, nearly pitch-black color as Nial tested out the thing he was the most curious about.

-Can I kill a Mid-range Deux rank Dungeon Boss with a single attack?-

"Burst!" Nial shouted at the top of his lungs, twisting his right hand while the abyss-black currents dispersed.

The Yeti looked at Nial in confusion for a moment before it bent down. Its arms were hanging down and barely brushed the ground for a moment before it blasted high into the air.

The Dungeon Boss reached Nial in the blink of an eye but Nial just smiled as he visualized what was going on in the beast's mind.

"It's over," He said in a quiet and confident voice and it was merely a second later that the Yeti's eyes began to bulge before its head burst open.
