Odyssey of the Blind God

Chapter 536 The Undying Vs The Eternal Darkness (9)



Tens of chains, created from Nial's Essence of Darkness, the Power of Chaos he was granted due to the influence of the Vengeance of Chaos ability and reinforced by the crimson moonlight of the Blood Eclipse moon, shot out of the ground with a loud, earth-shaking eruption.

The Chaos Darkness Essence Chains were massive, with the widest being as thick as an oakwood tree trunk, and etched with Ancient runic constellations. Connected to other runic constellations, the Ancient Runic constellations that had been created under the direct influx of Chaos and crimson moonlight created powerful effects such as the blood that was drained from the Undying's body the moment they touched him.

Creating the runic constellations required time and dedication. It was the major reason why Tyrant had to fight the Undying all by himself for more than ten minutes so as to allow Nial to focus on creating them. Nial had to use an exorbitant amount of energy to create the Chaos Darkness Essence Chains but the result was certainly worth it.

Their ends were buried deep in the darkness domain where they anchored themselves firmly in place. The Undying struggled and he roared out loudly in a fit of anger and surprise. He was thrashing against the chains that held him down and throwing himself on the ground without a care for the injuries he sustained, but it was of no use.

The Chaos Darkness Essence Chains simply did not budge. They were too strong and imbued with energies and runic constellations that prevented the Undying from moving fast enough to tear apart his body!

As the Undying threw himself against the chains in an attempt to free himself before it was already too late, the chains began to glow in an ominously dark light before they tightened around his body. They pulled the Undying to the ground before a large quantity of smaller Chaos Darkness Essence chains erupted out of the ground.

They pierced inside the Undying's body where they drained more of his Life force. His movements were further restricted and so were the use and control of his mana. It was hardly possible for the Undying to use mana, let alone move his body.

Dilan shuddered at this realization, yet, he didn't want to accept his fate. The muscles underneath his skin were bulging and flexing while his veins almost popped out. However, it was all to no avail.

"Even if I cannot kill you, I can still hold you down until the battle is over!" Nial mumbled, blood flowing down his mouth nose, and ears. Droplets of blood trickled down his ear as well. His chest heaved and his hands were clenched tightly.

If Dilan was a monstrosity due to his Origin ability and his willingness to sacrifice his body, Nial was a force that should be reckoned with, as well.

The Undying was growing exhausted, not only because the crimson moonlight of the Blood Eclipse Moon affected him severely but more because both the insides and outside of his body were tied down by thousands of metal chains that continued to steadily drain his life force.

Dilan Cier might not be able to die, but Nial was not taking this fight lightly either. He would receive better benefits from winning against Dilan in an overwhelming manner, if that was possible, to begin with. Now that he had realized that it was futile to try to defeat the Undying, Nial chose to restrict him until the end of the 100 day long battle.

The Undying's Life force was drained whenever it reached a certain threshold. That threshold was not high, which was also why Dilan went through a cycle of feeling unbearable pain spreading through his entire body every single day…for tens of days at a stretch.

At least that was how much time Dilan presumed to have passed. He couldn't be sure how much time passed because he couldn't see the countdown from his position. He was pinned to the ground, his head facing the sand and all of his traits severely restricted.

As for Nial, he was growing more satisfied upon perceiving the remaining time on the countdown. But even if he was satisfied with the current situation, Nial could not risk falling at ease.

Dilan was not someone who gave up easily. Nial chose to prepare himself against the highly likely breakout of the Undying. He was not sure how Dilan was supposed to escape but Nial still prepared himself.

He had a sheer infinite amount of mana at his disposal because the City of Trials was overflowing with highly purified and dense mana. Pulling the mana inside the darkness domain made it easy for Nial to devour and annex it almost subconsciously.

This task required a little bit of attention, but it was not tiresome enough to decrease his combat prowess in the slightest. In fact, he could use the mana to increase his combat prowess in the long run!

Nial chose to continue with his preparations, continue to supply the Chaos Darkness Essence Chains with what they needed to be maintained properly, and put aside the remaining mana to use later.

After all, he believed that the Undying would get back to him…and that couldn't be more true!

'I really have had e enough of this bastard…everything is trying to push me down, prevent me from getting stronger… I will fucking kill him!!' The Undying thought as wrath began to flow through his veins.

Dilan needed strength the most. He couldn't care less about others because they could achieve everything they wanted to as long as they possessed the necessary prowess to do so.

Every Lesser God he faced until now was supposed to be able to defeat him, crush his spirit, and leave the City of Trials with their memories intact. However, in the end, Dilan's unbreakable will and tenacity allowed him to emerge victorious.

But that was not all.

His fighting spirit and his sheer ability to ignore unbearable pain were important factors that ensured his survival up to today. He had survived numerous incidents that would have killed others or pushed them to the brink of insanity.

Most would have turned insane in his situation, after facing countless obstacles and the unimaginable amount of pain he had to go through in the last few dozen years and in his entire lifetime.

From the day he was born it felt like he was accompanied by pain. It embraced him tightly and showed clearly what it meant to be alive.

For Dilan, the pain was not something bad anymore. It was just a most important indicator, showing him that he was still alive!

While that may be the case, Nial, his opponent, seemed to have figured that by now as well. Nial could tell that Dilan was not easy to defeat and that he was actually getting stronger with every single death and defeat.

The Eternal Darkness could tell that his fellow Fate Changer was not someone, who would give up just like that. As a fellow Fate Changer, this was something nice to hear, but as enemies, it was the worst one could be faced against…an Undying being, who would never give up, no matter what happened!

That became even clearer when Dilan scattered Nial's darkness domain in a radius of one meter around him.

He manifested his Domain of Destruction that shrouded his entire body like a membrane, and he unleashed the real power of his True Undying Essence!
