Odyssey of the Blind God
Chapter 621 Arcania Realm

Over a distance of more than five kilometers everything in the way of the pyromantic blast had been molten and destroyed. It was only thanks to the walls made with adamariatite that the pyromantic blast didn't do more damage.

Adamariatite was an extremely precious metal that couldn't even be destroyed with a full power blow at the Trixor rank. However, even a concentrated attack that focused on a single tiny spot caused slight damage. A burn mark was found on the Adamariatite wall.

Nobody died but that was the Grand Elder's fortune. After all, the Grand Elder didn't listen to his good-meant advice. It was not his fault that the Grand Elder used the Blazing Ruby Orb just like that. Nial would have never used that much energy to empower the Blazing Ruby Orb either. A test is supposed to be only that, not a mean to obliterate a bunch of innocent Demihumans.

"I want it!" The Grand Elder announced, his voice shaking in excitement. He sensed an opportunity, which was exactly what Nial intended to reveal.

The Grand Elder understood Nial's scheming to a certain extent but he couldn't be bothered about it at this moment. He needed Nial's knowledge and more of those Blazing Ruby Orbs!

Runic constellations were not something his people knew about and Nial was also pretty clear that the forgotten runic constellations could only be engraved by him. As for the reason why only he was able to engrave forgotten runic constellations, Nial didn't go into detail.

He didn't think that it was necessary to do so.

"I can give it to you," Nial said, "I can give you more Blazing Ruby Orbs, possibly even better ones as this one as long as you provide me with better materials and Godsly's entire attention!"

Nial was currently playing out his trump cards. He was trying to achieve something that was much more valuable than the meat he wanted for Shadow. In fact, the meat was just a small thing in comparison to what he actually wanted!

"I want you to make me 500 of those as soon as possible. How long do you need to finish them?" The Grand Elder announced, staring at Nial with greed in his eyes.

"500…?" Nial had initially planned to create a hundred of those runic armaments at most. Requesting five times the number of runic armaments he had in mind also meant that he would have to spend a lot more time finishing the product.

It would allow him to get more proficient in the creation process and to learn a bunch of things but it would simply take too long.

He began to frown deeply. His frown was genuine and so was the displeasure that followed suit not long after.

"Do you even know how long it takes to finish each of them, and how draining it is to engrave runic constellations?" Nial complained, playing the 'miserable'-card out.

The Grand Elder looked at him, tapping his fingers against the Blazing Ruby Orb.

"What do you want? I can give you everything you need!" The Grand Elder said, taking his chance on an opportunity that may allow him to become the Supreme Elder.

With 500 Blazing Ruby Orbs, attached and altered to fit into spaceships and the defensive artillery of the settlements on various different planets, millions of casualties, the loss of precious resources, and the destruction of tens of large-scale Space Ships could be prevented.

If that was not enough to change the public view's opinion of him, improving his image drastically, the Grand Elder didn't know what it would take for him to take the lead in the voting.

"Everything?" Nial asked, his attitude changing slightly. He was intrigued now that the Grand Elder offered 'everything'.

However, the Grand Elder noticed a slight change in Nial's attitude. He squinted his eyes and hesitated for a moment.

"What do you want?!" He asked.

Nial just smiled in return, trying to act as nonchalant as possible, "I want everything like before. An unlimited supply of the food specialist's Waikyura Meat, the required resources for Shadow to mature into a wonderful ginormous existence, Godsly….AND one Slot for Arcania Realm!"

The Grand Elder could easily agree with the first demands. However, the last demand was something that caused him to freeze in his tracks.

The Arcania Realm was an unknown place where nothing corporeal existed. Some people guessed that it was a destroyed universe, or that it was the empty space of a Universe before it was born. One way or another, the most important was that the Demihumans had a total of 25 Slots every decade to transport someone into the Arcania Realm where they could stay for a total of ten years.

Nial wanted one of the two slots the Grand Elder was given in order to enter the Arcania Realm for ten years. The next cycle of transportation was in two years which would roughly fit into his schedule. He would have completed 500 Blazing Ruby Orbs. He would gain proficiency while completing one Blazing Ruby Orb after another. That way, Nial would inevitably get a little faster in the production process which would then mean that everything would fit into the schedule.

Of course, he would have to leave the Devil Roc and Shadow outside because the Arcania Realm was able to sense any kind of organism but that was something he could live with.

In two years, they were strong enough to take care of themself and have a nice time eating great meals until their stomach would explode.

The most important reason for Nial to desire to enter the Arcania Realm was that Shadow would definitely need more than ten years to grow strong enough to bring him through the Meteorfield and that the Arcania Realm was, quite literally, the best place to cultivate Nial had ever heard about.

As for why it was the best place to Cultivate, it was pretty simple.

It had a type of energy that rarely existed anywhere else.

The Arcania Realm was filled with this energy. It was overflowing with it, to be precise.

It was Origin Mana!
