Odyssey of the Blind God
Chapter 482 Entrance

Of course, Nial had created the small runic armament by himself.

It was not a big feat as long as one knew how to engrave overlapping miniature runic constellations. Nial could do that as long as the overlapping runic constellations were not all Advanced Runic constellations.

However, the Royal Princess was oblivious to this. She still thought of him as a rather new Runicier, though with exceptional talent, unable to create something even Grandmaster Runicier had a hard time creating.

Nial was fortunate enough to be a unique Grandmaster Runicier, with a terrific mana affinity, decent knowledge as a Runicier, and the ability to visualize everything in his mind.

The details of the things he visualized varied a lot according to his focus, his memories, and the distance to the object. If he wanted to engrave runic constellations on something, he would use his memories and visualize everything down to the finest details before adjusting it according to the leveling, edges, and surface of the object he wanted to engrave the runic constellations on, in his mind.

He ignored how baffled the Royal Princess seemed while looking at the emblem and focused on the teleportation. It didn't take the High Elf long to move them to the wilderness where a large spatial portal had manifested. They appeared next to a huge mountain range that was located near a cliff, which was also where the entrance of their designated target was located.

Nial activated his camouflage the instant they appeared in the wilderness and the others followed suit just seconds later.

"We will attack from all sides, you guys using spatial portals to obstruct them from using the exits, while I will have fun barging through the front door?" Nial smiled lightly at the thought of playing the ruffian, who was more muscles than brain.

With the proper use of his abilities and his two lovely Devils, there wouldn't be a problem. There shouldn't be, at least, in his opinion!

"Will you be fine at the main entrance? We planned to split up equally, and not leave you all alone!" The Royal Princess asked before realizing that everyone would focus on Nial rather than the emergency exits.

For a moment the Royal Princess wondered why Nial's summary of the plan didn't mention anything about the details of the attack and it was only now that she realized what he was trying to do.

'He's revising our plan to his liking…that…'

Princess Evalyne was not sure what to think of this, but it was a first. In fact, Nial was the reason for many firsts whether it was pleasant or not.

He was the first human she met, the first human to have entered Yggdrasil, the first human to receive the Fairies' Blessing, the first human to be acknowledged by Yggdrasil, the first human who dared to retort to her…in fact, other than her mother, nobody dared to talk back to her.

He didn't use formal language while conversing with her, treated her like a friend rather than the Royal Princess of the Elven, and didn't really care about much when it was not related to his family, friends, or ways to become stronger.

The latter could be achieved in numerous ways, including the proper utilization of runic armaments, earning a fortune as Runicier to pay for his own development, and so on.

But no matter how weird Nial was as an Original, his persona was still that of a good and confident young man.

There were only a few times when the Royal Princess recalled that Nial was in possession of the Late God of Darkness' Powers…and during these times…she was truly afraid of him.

This was also a first for her…being afraid of someone, or rather the power they could unleash the moment they lost their calm.

"I will be fine. In fact, it will make things a lot easier for me if I can fight all by myself. You guys don't like my dark energy either way. You replace it disgusting, don't you?" Nial chuckled as he spread wings manifested of dark energy out of his back.

He could weave them in an instant, which was what he did to sense the reaction of the Royal Princess' cohort. While the Princess just flinched, the others' reactions varied a lot.

The High Elves, and the Sacred Elves changed their stance in an instant. They switched to combat mode and were ready to tear Nial apart, if necessary.

Nial just shook his head, while his attention switched to the Nightshadow Elves. There were a few Nightshadow Elves, who had chosen to join the raid. To be precise, Nightingale had been told to join the raid because the Royal Nightshadow Elf was not willing to give up that easily.

"Well, except you guys, everyone else would obstruct me once they release their mana and abilities," Nial corrected his earlier statement and a faint smile appeared on his face. Nightingale swallowed nervously before he cursed himself in his mind.

'I know that he has the power of the Late God of Darkness…but why the hell am I scared? I'm two fucking ranks above him!!'

Nightingale couldn't understand the reason for his unease. His subconscious told him not to mess with Nial, and he didn't dare to act against his intuition, not after the incident in the wooden hut.

He had messed up in the first meeting with Nial and Nightingale was sure of one thing; he never wanted to feel like that ever again!

Only once in his life had he felt like this before, terrified and unable to move a single inch even though he was not physically restricted? The pressure weighing on him, pressing down on him, prevented his body and mind from functioning properly.

It was the day he met his father, the Monarch of the Nightshadow Elves, the only person who deserved the utmost respect from all Nightshadow Elves…Yet, his encounter with Nial felt exactly the same…or had it been worse?

Nightingale had too many questions that required answers, and Nial was the answer to all of them. He didn't like encountering Nial, let alone being near him but it was a necessity to get the answers he wanted!

"In that case, let us accompany you. We will just obstruct each other if our Shadow Energy collides with the other energies!" Nightingale suggested and Nial just nodded his head. It was not as if Nial had a reason to reject Nightingale.

The 7th Heir of the Nightshadow Elves' royalty seemed to have changed a little bit, and Nial wanted to replace out how much the young Nightshadow Elf had changed.

'I can observe them and figure out how strong they're…and scare them a little!'

A few minutes passed before everyone began to move. Nial and the Nightshadow Elves would go first. Their task was to attract the attention of the guards. While the Guards would attack them, the Shelturion Alchemists inside the laboratory were likely to panic given that their race mostly consisted of cowards rather than brave warriors.

The High Elves, the Sacred Elves, and the other Elves would block all emergency exits before moving closer to the center, catching everyone.

As long as the majority of their plans would work out, everything would be fine.

Nial and the Nightshadow Elves charged toward the cliff and jumped down. There was a huge ravine in the ground, covered by large bushes, and the branches of twisted trees that spread out haphazardly. The ravine was well-hidden thanks to the natural cover nature provided, but it was not enough to fool someone like Nial.

He charged through the thicket and landed on the ravine's base which was quite deep. The Nightshadow Elves followed him without hesitation, and they landed next to him.

"There is no need to continue hiding our presence. The Shelturion probably has other means to tell when someone without authorization enters the ravine," Nial informed before he manifested a large spear of darkness in his right hand.

He pulled his arm back a little and fired the darkness spear upward. The spear crashed into the upper area of the ravine's walls, which resulted in it bursting apart into fragments. Rubble and dirt rained down on the ground of the ravine, followed by a bunch of runic devices.

"How did you sense them? I couldn't perceive…anything…" Nightingale blurted out just to see that Nial was smiling.

"My senses are simply more advanced than yours. I can see better than you even though I have eyes like these," Nial said, the corners of his lips curled upward as he pointed at his eyes.

"You cannot see, don't fool me!" Nightingale grumbled, just to step back when he saw that the corner of Nial's lip twitched.

"Did you say something?" Nial feigned surprise, and Nightingale shook his head.

"N-nope…"
