Odyssey of the Blind God

Chapter 567 Another Summon?



It was quite obvious that Nial and his Devils wouldn't be enough to deal with all Dungeon breakouts at the same time. There were simply too many dungeons in the mountain-range region to control and conquer. It would be hard to cover the distance and fly around all obstacles while conquering the dungeons, to begin with.

However, Nial was not discouraged by this. On the contrary, he was ready to test out a few things that piqued his curiosity. One thing in particular that attracted his curiosity was how strong the Curse Hodur's Heir had become.

It was considered a linked ability since the strength of the Curse increased proportionally with the cultivation progress of Nial. Nial hadn't used the black miasma of his Curse for quite a while. Hence he thought that it was about time to figure out how powerful it had become.

With that in mind, Nial found himself in the center of the mountain-range region not long after. He was surrounded by his three Devils and Ryu who stayed around him idly. They observed him as he spread out his domain of darkness while exerting the Vortex of Abyss cultivation technique.

Nial gathered a tremendous amount of mana from the surroundings to convert it into dark energy which would then be used to create dark miasma. Because Nial didn't possess an ounce of mana inside his body he couldn't create ordinary black miasma anymore. Dark miasma was already the weakest form of miasma he could manifest through Hodur's Heir.

Thus, Nial concentrated on his task and accumulated dark energy for close to an hour, and made the necessary preparations. Nial unleashed the dark miasma that had amassed inside his body and waited to perceive the influence the dark miasma had on the surrounding area.

The dark miasma burst out of Nial's body violently and it expanded uncontrollably in all directions. It was all around Nail in an instant, blanketing in a cloud of smoke and continuing to spread rapidly for dozens of kilometers until the expansion speed slowed down a little.

After a radius of close to 200 kilometers was covered by his dark miasma around him evenly, it stopped spreading further. The dungeon beasts and dungeons engulfed in his dark miasma were going wild. The beasts' senses had gone numb and the dungeon portals seemed to be crumbling to pieces. It was almost as if it was too difficult for the dungeon portals to stay in a stable state.

The longer they were exposed to the dark miasma the more jarring effects it seemed to have on them. It was very interesting for Nial to perceive all of this in great detail. His Mana Sense spread out along the dark miasma, which made it quite easy for him to sense the immediate as well as the long-term influence dark miasma had on its surroundings.

In the end, figuring out everything about the changes caused by the dark miasma was his primary goal. His dark miasma was not some lethal poison that could kill everything it touched.

It may affect everyone drastically by numbing their senses to an extent where beasts were extremely easy to kill but that was not equal to being dead, obviously.

'Should I send out an army of submissive beasts to tackle the dungeon beasts?' Nial thought at this moment. He shook his head after a moment, understanding very well that his dark miasma wouldn't last much longer if he wouldn't use some dark energy to prevent it from dispersing in all directions.

Nial didn't think of doing that, which was also enough reason for him to scratch the back of his head as he continued to hover in the air above the mountain-range region.

[Do you want to use your summoning ability, or are you still not ready?] Kaeldur asked Nial telepathically.

'The Awakening of the Prymal? What are you thinking about?' Nial responded with a question. He was pretty sure that Kaeldur didn't mention his summoning ability without a reason.

[Noo…don't even think of summoning him…] Tyrant intervened all of a sudden, his annoyance and frustration clearly exposed.

Nial knew that his devils could converse in his mind. They seldom talked to each other but that didn't mean they couldn't do it.

[It's just Dexter…] Kaeldur reassured the Tyrant of Destruction before he explained what exactly he proposed to Nial, [I thought that it would be quite helpful to summon another Devil. He is the perfect candidate to take care of a large area of space simultaneously!]

Nial was a little bit suspicious about Tyrant's reaction since this Devil was not exactly someone who complained easily. In fact, it was the first time for Nial to hear him complain about something other than Kaeldur's existence.

This was a slight surprise to Nial, and it made him think about a few things. His expression changed and his mind was set ablaze with the thoughts that rustled through his head.

'Before I give my confirmation, who the hell is Dexter for Tyrant to react like this, and secondly, what is his special trait to be able to control a large area of space?' Nial asked in his mind which was answered by a growl from Tyrant.

It was quite obvious that Nial was intrigued by Kaeldur's explanation and Tyrant could tell that his master would be even more fascinated after Kaeldur finished his explanation of Dexter's powers. After all, those powers were the real deal and not something anyone would be disinterested in!

[Dexter is a Shadowmancer Devil…well, he was a Necromancer who was once an Ancient Demon God. Things went south and Damian ended up devilizing the remnants of his Soul. He is actually pretty weird but his abilities are extremely powerful. I don't really think that anyone here can defeat him after he created his army of materialized Shadows. You would have to deal with tens of thousands of Shadows, if not more, just to get through to him.

He is a petty bastard but he would have to listen to you, either way, so there is not really a problem!]

Kaeldur didn't seem to be fond of Dexter either but that didn't mean he was delusional. He knew that Dexter was powerful and that Nial was in need of someone with Dexter's abilities.

Nial figured the meaning behind Kaeldur's words as well but he felt a little bit conflicted.

'A Shadowmancer who was once an Ancient God…seems like he was a bigshot. Though, I don't know if I can actually summon him since the Awakening of the Prymal ability is a little bit hard to control…and I don't know if I'm confident to use it yet…'  He told his Devils while hating himself for showing his weakness and shattered confidence.

When it came to the Awakening of the Prymal ability, Nial couldn't help but reflect back on the time in the Colosseum of the City of Trials. It was humiliating how easily some other being had been able to infiltrate him and take control of his body even before he realized it. Nial didn't want something like that to repeat itself, didn't want a foreign being inside him without his knowledge or consent. Yet he could never be sure whether some remnants of that being, Hoerst, were still inside him.

He was not even sure how it had entered his body, to begin with.

[Don't worry about that Pryard. He won't be able to reach you anymore. The Realm of the Forgotten Time is a place where the void barriers between the Universes are extremely thin and easy to pass through. The void barriers were also weakened since two living Fate Changers were inside the Realm of the Forgotten Time. That was never supposed to happen in the first place since the City of Trials had been built to train one person at a time. But it looks like the Universe had different plans with you and Dilan, the Undying!

There is no need for you to worry about anything!] Kaeldur said in an extremely calm and composed manner which was more than enough for Nial's lips to twitch.

'You tell me that…only now?!?'
