Odyssey of the Blind God
Chapter 610 Minotaur? Demihuman? Both?

What Nial didn't expect to happen when he left the building was that some Demihuman would be trying to stir trouble.

The Demihuman was at the Peak of the Mythician rank, with a great physical build that was enhanced through his traits as Half Bull, Half Human. If Nial didn't know that the three-meter-tall Demihuman was a Demihuman, he would have guessed him to be a Minotaur because the Demihuman looked just like one.

The only thing of interest was that the Minotaur Demihuman was in possession of a darkness elemental affinity, one that was pretty strong at that.

Nial was pretty impressed about that, even though he was treated badly by the Minotaur Demihuman, for no apparent reason at that.

"You bastard!" He shouted out loudly the moment Nial left the large building next to the Grand Elder. They had been about to do something rather important, go to spaceship harbor and travel to the planets that were the closest to the Meteorfield when the Minotaur Demihuman appeared seemingly out of nowhere.

Nial tilted his head at the arrival of the Minotaur Demihuman.

"Do you know him?" Nial asked the Grand Elder, who nodded his head slightly hesitant. He had some work to do near the Meteorfield, which was also his reason to invite Nial to come with him. After all, as the saying said, one should keep friends closer but enemies even closer!

Nial may not be an opponent but his existence and sudden arrival made many Demihumans feel uncomfortable and question if it may not have been a bad omen that someone with powers like Nial's unique traits, powers, and abilities had arrived. Not many beings from outside their known Universe came to visit them during the last 10,000 years, but all of them created enough trouble and permanent marks in the proximity they had passed through to make sure that the Demihumans would be reminded of them every now and then.

Nial didn't know any of that, but he could tell the slightly hostile gazes he had received since he was allowed to enter the city. He was not someone to bother about their gazes because most of those Demihumans would never be important to him, in the first place. It wouldn't even take a day before he would have forgotten how they looked like. How important could their thoughts and opinion be to him?

"I know him, and I don't think you will be able to avoid fighting him," The Grand Elder said, his chest heaving in the seething anger he tried to suppress. To the Grand Elder, it was quite obvious that the Minotaur Demihuman's master had ordered him to make trouble to Nial, possibly to enrage Nial and make sure that the foreigner would destroy parts of the city while throwing a fit.

"If you fight Milo, please do that in the arena or somewhere outside the city. I think one of the Grand Elders wants to use you to harm my reputation. After all, I used my authority to allow you inside the city. If something were to happen, I would be implicated…You are my responsibility, after all," The Grand Elder sighed heavily, which caused Nial to smile lightly.

He perceived everything clearly and nodded his head.

"I will take care of it. I would like to avoid causing too much trouble for the time being either way. After all, I still need your help to return home," Nial replied honestly before turning over to Milo, the Minotaur Demihuman, who was in possession of a darkness elemental affinity.

"So your name is Milo, fatass?" He asked with ridicule and contempt in his voice. The corners of Nial's lips curled upward as the expression on Milo's face grew worse by the moment.

'Someone is not really good at hiding his emotions, that makes it much easier,' Nial just thought while his head moved back to the Grand Elder.

"Can I inflict some injuries while fighting him, or would that be troublesome as well?" He asked to make sure what would cause trouble and what he could still do.

"As long as you don't cripple him, I will make sure that no trouble awaits you. I'm sorry that you have to go through this man, the Grand Elders are getting impatient because the Seat of the Supreme Elder is void right now. Everyone wants to be elected as the next Supreme Elder, and they use all means to gain advantages over others."

Nial understood what the Grand Elder was talking about even though he didn't really care much about it. There were always treacherous ways to make oneself look better than others, rather than using other means to get to the good side of their people. Nial was not too sure how the next Supreme Elder was elected or what exactly a Supreme Elder was, but he could imagine that it was one of the highest, if not the highest position in the Demihuman's society.

Thus, he used the Grasp of Eclipse technique to appear behind the Minotaur Demihuman in an instant. Darkness oozed out of his body, transforming into thorny vines that coiled around the waist, legs, and arms of the opponent in front of him. Some darkness vines even coiled around Milo's long horns. They pulled his neck down just like the tight bondage demanded.

Afterward, Nial's ice-cold voice rang through the ears of the Minotaur Demihuman, which made him see red.

"Follow me if you can, little fat cow!"

The moment Milo heard Nial's voice, he threw his body around. He used all means to tear apart the darkness vines while his body began to smoke all of a sudden. His physique enlarged all of a sudden and his eyes turned into a ruby glow that hid everything one ought to see beneath. The glow was too bright to see the white of his eye, or anything else.

Milo's physical strength had increased drastically and he was just about to tear apart Nial by reaching out behind him when he noticed that Nial had already disappeared. The blind Original was already flying above the city with long dark feathered wings jutting from his shoulder blades.

He and the Devil Roc underwent an Ancient Devilization to fuse parts of their bodies.

Nial's strength and most importantly, his speed, increased drastically through the Ancient Devilization. The Devil Roc was a powerful mythical creature that had been devilized by Damian a long time ago. It was loyal to the Late God of Darkness after he had rescued it from hunters and tended to its mortal wounds by devilizing it.

The Devil Roc's loyalty had been forwarded to Nial, who had been accepted by Damian as his successor. Thus, trusting Nial and feeling unbreakable loyalty toward him, their compatibility during an Ancient Devilization was extremely high.

Nial could transform every part of his body into that of the Devil Roc, and he could add additional body parts however he pleased as well.

Nial smiled down to the ground where the Minotaur Demihuman stared at him with a fearsome expression.

Milo had already lost it. The Demihuman couldn't accept that he had been overwhelmed so easily. If Nial had wanted to, he could have pierced a blade through his back, killing Milo in an instant after utilizing the Grasp of Eclipse movement technique all of a sudden.

However, instead of killing Milo, Nial chose to use some darkness vines to tie him down and make him look ridiculous in front of another Grand Elder and more than thirty other Demihumans who had been present by chance.

"Die, you fucking bastard!!" He bellowed and charged high up into the air.

"Sorry, I won't!"
