Odyssey of the Blind God
Chapter 499 Revenge

Standing in front of the ten Otherworldly Residencies a total of 400 masked humans, divided in ten groups, could be seen.

They wore identical outfits and crow masks that covered only the upper part of their face. The ruby-like eyes of the mask started ominously at the Otherworldly Residencies while one masked man from each of the ten groups stepped forward.

The natural mana of an Original at the Prometheus rank emerged from each of the ten men, clearly showing everyone in the surroundings that humans had appeared to get rid of the Linaton Investigators and the Otherworldly Residencies in their entirety.

The mana fluctuations of the ten men were distorted, but only to a certain extent. One could still perceive the familiar fluctuations, that every human from Jundra, also called Origin human, possessed.

Humans really came to the rescue of their own race, even if they were only at the Prometheus rank.

The corners of Nial's lip curled upward when he visualized that the Linaton Investigators in every Otherworldly Residency seemed to have frozen in place.

'You guys didn't expect my Masked Shadows to be able to deflect your Energy blasts…what a big mistake! Never underestimate humans, even less, me!'

With a proud smile, Nial witnessed how the ten Masked Men spun their spears over their heads while adjusting their stance. Every masked man in front of the Otherworldly Residency was doing the exact same motion and Nial's smile widened automatically.

This was even better than he had expected, especially since raging flames shrouded the tip of the spears held in the hands of each Masked man. They were standing alone in front of their group as if they were asking to be attacked by the Linaton Investigators, but not a single trace of hesitation could be seen in their movements.

More mana was inserted in the spears whose shaft and blade began to glow brightly, flames engulfed the spears in their entirety, yet, no injuries were inflicted upon the wielders.

The wielders continued to insert their mana, which resulted in raging flames bursting forth from the spears' blades. A booming noise echoed when the flames burst, sounding like a humongous bird was crying out loud.

Yet, instead of seeing a phoenix appearing from the raging flames that were hot enough to melt the ground, it looked like the color of the flames was slowly transforming, turning bright blue.

Bright blue wings manifested from bright blue flames that emerged at the tip of the shaft, just below the start of the spear's blade. The wings flapped once and then another time as if they wanted to escape the restriction of their wielder.

However, the masked men were probably the last people who would want to restrict the Broken Runic Spears. As if the masked men heard a signal they began to move nearly at the same time. They pulled their right arms back, twisted their back and they took  two rapid, yet smooth steps forward to accumulate enough momentum to throw the Broken Runic Spears with all their might.

When the masked men threw their spears toward the center of the Otherworldly Residencies, the winged spear accelerated drastically.

A single swing of the large blue flames was enough to reach a terrific velocity that made it impossible for most Originals to see the trajectory of the Broken Runic Spears.

Most were only able to see a blue streak that passed through their line of sight before a huge explosion occurred. A ring-shaped blast reverberated through the surrounding area just before the blue flames of the Broken Runic Spear were unleashed explosively.

Everything in the immediate surrounding was destroyed, including 90% of the Otherworldly Residencies whose remaining construction collapsed due to the impact. Bright blue flames spread through the surrounding area. The flames leeched on the mana it found in the air, the ground, and the materials of the otherworldly residencies, or what was left of them, and they expanded.

Large raging flames were licking the air and they ate away everything they could. Muffled screams and shrill cries of pain reverberated through the surrounding area but the masked men didn't even pay any attention to the aftermath of their attack.

With no weapons in their hands, they turned around and stepped back into the group of 39 masked men and women. The masked men merged into their group, without showing a sign of exhaustion.

Meanwhile, a masked woman stepped forward. Ten masked women attracted the attention of all spectators who happened to be near the Otherworldly Residencies of the ten shelters when the open assault occurred.

One masked woman appeared in front of the group in each human shelter. These women held a bow in one of their hands and a single arrow in another hand.

Moving their hands in unison, the masked women nocked the arrow on the bowstring before they pulled the bowstring back. All ten women moved at the same time and they aimed high in the air.

Mana circulated through the masked women, and the arrows were filled to the brim not long after. The arrows began to glow brightly and it was not long after that the masked women released the arrow high into the air, almost simultaneously once again.

When the arrows were released their runic constellations were activated as well. Thus, upon reaching the highest point in the air the arrows released a bright light that dazzled the spectators in the surrounding area.

The dazzling light dispersed not long after, but what filled their sight was not a single arrow, but close to a hundred glowing arrows!!

The arrows released by the masked women had split up into 100 mana arrows each and they rained down on the Otherworldly Residencies, or what was left of them.

The blue flames were extinguished the moment the arrows impacted, while more pained screams filled the air around the Otherworldly Residencies.

Everyone present knew the origin of the stifled screams that were overflowing with seemingly endless pain, which is why nobody showed pity. On the contrary, most spectators began to smile, while some even began to cry in joy.

The Linaton Investigators, who had killed members of their families, or their beloved friends, were currently writhing in pain, their skin was scorched and severely burned while several mana arrows had found their target, more or less.

Nial visualized this and he nodded his head in satisfaction.

It was a great relief that the other ambassadors had chosen to keep a distance from the Linaton Investigators. They released an official statement that they had nothing to do with the Linaton race's doing, which was also why they chose to leave the Otherworldly Residencies the moment the Linaton Investigators entered the building.

Nobody could say for sure whether their official statements were merely a farce or if they were being sincere, but that was something one could think about later. It didn't really matter for now…after all, the chaos created by the Linaton race had to be cleaned up first!

"Did you record everything?" The voice of a spectator could be heard, followed by his female friend, whose hands were shaking.

"...Yes..I..I got it all…"

Many spectators thought the same. They were either uncertain about what they had just witnessed, were crying in joy because they had finally gotten the revenge they sought, or they stared at the masked men and women with complex expressions.

Nobody had ever heard of a group of crow-masked men and women before, yet, they were strong enough to destroy the Otherworldly Residency with a single attack and almost kill a Keltia-ranked Original with only two attacks.

However, it looked like the masked archers were not yet done. To be precise, they retrieved another arrow from their spatial rings. These arrows were different in color and length than the previous ones.

They were too long to be used with an ordinary bow, or so it looked at the first glance.

Yet, what happened only seconds later was enough for everyone's eyes to widen in shock.

The moment the large arrow was released a huge tiger manifested around the arrow and it pounced toward the remains of the Otherworldly Residency, precisely the area near the Linaton race's Investigators.

"...Spirit Manifestation…"
