Odyssey of the Blind God
Chapter 500 Warning

The last arrow that manifested the spirit of an animal, a tiger to be precise, was larger than ordinary arrows because of a simple reason; Nial couldn't properly engrave ancient runic constellations in a miniature formation.

He was not some God, or a genius, who could engrave all kinds of runic constellations just because he knew what they looked like. It was still necessary for him to get both theoretical knowledge and practical experience.

Furthermore, there was a big difference between engraving runic constellations on a flat surface and doing the same around an edge, or a round object.

Arrows were especially tricky because their shaft was usually extremely thin. Engraving anything complicated on the shaft of an arrow was extremely difficult, which was also why Nial ended up using much larger and thicker arrows for the spirit manifestation arrows.

He would improve them in the future but Nial just wanted to show off his capabilities and instill fear in the minds of their opponents. He wanted to make sure that everyone understood that the Masked Shadows were not to be underestimated.

Nial was pretty sure that the plan he had come up with was perfect, or near-perfect, at the bare minimum.

Thus, he visualized the ten Spirit Tigers wreaking havoc by destroying everything in the immediate surrounding. The streets were destroyed and so were the remnants of the fence surrounding the Otherworldly Residencies.

The large arrow lodged itself into the ground merely centimeters away from the shivering Linaton Investigators.

When the large arrow dug into the ground next to the Linaton Investigator, the Spirit Tigers ended up digging their claws through the frail bodies of the Linaton Investigators before they disappeared in the ground.

The Spirit Manifestations dispersed just like that, merely leaving behind scared Linaton Investigators who were on the verge of death. Only a thin thread held them alive, and they were more likely to die the moment they would try getting up from the ground.

As for the humans in the shelters, nobody would even think about helping them.

However, it was just at this moment that a third arrow came flying in a large arc.

The same archers as before had released the third arrow that dug into the ground on the left side of the dying Linaton Investigators.

A small orange sphere formed around the dying Original and currents of healing mana rained down on them. The deep wounds of the Linaton Investigators were healing slowly, and the bleeding had stopped meaning that the Original would survive.

Nial would have rather killed the Linaton Investigators but he was pretty sure that his demonstration was much better if forwarded by the severely injured Linaton Investigators rather than origin humans speaking about it.

However, Nial's plan was far from over. His smile did not falter as he awaited the cringe-worthy lines and movements of his Masked Shadows.

The ten archeresses took a step back, and their bows returned inside the spatial rings. One of the Masked Shadows located in the center of each group activated the runic constellation engraved on a black ring as he raised his arm high in the air.

Darkness oozed out of the black ring and an emblem formed right above the ring. It was the same emblem that had appeared on the letter and everyone recognized it.

"The mysterious murderer was a human?" One spectator mumbled, just for another one to intervene.

"That's impossible…we don't have anyone capable of killing ten Linaton Ambassadors without leaving behind any clues…within less than a day at that…"

"According to the logs of the teleportation station, no one used the teleportation stations of the ten shelters more than two times on that day. Can he jump through space or what?" A third one intervened, his voice quivering in excitement.

Many spectators were excited, while others were afraid.

What would happen now that the Linaton race would replace out that the mysterious murderer was related to the human race? Were the Masked Shadows really on their side or were they just trying to spread their influence through the ten shelters? Was the mysterious killer human or did he belong to another race? If he was from another race…did he just exploit the masked men and women, or were they treated nicely…not like slaves?

What was the plan of that new organization, or group that had emerged out of nowhere?

Hundreds of questions flashed through the minds of the spectators, while everything was recorded from more than 30 angles as many passersby used their bracelets or phones to record everything neatly.

No question was directly answered because the masked men and women went deathly still. Then suddenly a loud mechanical voice resounded from amidst the ten groups that were spread through the ten shelters.

[Mankind will never surrender. This is the first, and last warning. We won't hold back in the future.]

The voice rang loudly through all the shelters and everything turned silent for a few seconds, just for five more words to follow suit.

[Try us if you dare!]

The silence that followed up was stifling and the breaths of the people who had spectated the fight, if one could even label it such, hitched in their throats.

It had been a massacre caused by humans, for humans…and the mechanical voice clearly said that this was just a warning. The destruction of ten Otherworldly Residencies and the near-death state of ten Keltia-ranked Linaton Investigators was merely a warning!!

The question was just for whom the warning was. It was obvious that the warning encompassed the entire Linaton race, but was that really everything?

Was the warning really just for them? Nobody thought that this was the case. In fact, everyone was certain that there was a bigger meaning behind the warning that spread through the ten shelters, and was heard by everyone!

Some stupidly brave spectators came out of their hiding. They wanted to approach the Masked Shadows and ask them a few questions with the intention to make it big on WeTube.

However, before anyone could get closer to the Masked Shadows, darkness shrouded them. They seemed to merge with the darkness that dispersed only seconds later.

As for the Masked Shadows, they dispersed as well. It was almost as if they had never been present.

"Did you get–..." The same young spectator from before asked but his female friend answered even before he could finish speaking, "I got everything!"

In the span of a few hours, hundreds of videos were uploaded from the ten shelters. TV shows spread the news about the attack on the ten Otherworldly Residencies as well and they showed clips from the uploaded videos.

The most popular WeTube videos with the best video quality got millions of clicks within the first 24 hours of their upload and everyone began to speak about the Masked Shadows and their warning.

Nial, on the other hand, was smiling brightly as he watched the return of his people. He had to ask the Royal Princess to lend him a bunch of High Elves with powerful spatial ability control because he didn't want to use the official route of teleportation for his Masked Shadows.

Everything that was recorded, whether it was in the form of a video or a log could be considered quite dangerous.

Of course, Nial had planned everything accordingly.

This even included the fact that his Broken Runic Armaments were clearly visible, and that he would be suspected to have an affiliation with the mysterious murderer and his Masked Shadows.

Everything went according to his plan!
