Odyssey of the Blind God

Chapter 105 Speaking Monster?



The more he thought about it, the weirder the first test of the Teradan military camp felt.

Too many things made no sense in his opinion, including the fact that there might be hundreds of Goblins with red gemstone necklaces.

However, in order to be sure that they were not mistaken about this, Nial and the others would have to defeat the group of close to 30 Goblins first.

Bella decided to tackle the three strongest goblins of the group and focus on killing them first.

Meanwhile, Nial and Mathias reassured Bella that they would take care of the others.

They had come up with a simple, yet efficient plan, which they initiated after making use of the right momentum.

Their timing was nearly perfect as they had quietly approached the location of the little Goblin camp.

The bright daylight allowed Mathias to see clearly, giving him the confidence to be of great use to his team as he remained hidden within the thicket of a bush.

His distance to the closest Goblin Warrior hovered around 50 meters, which was the closest he could go without being noticed.

Meanwhile, Nial and Bella made a big detour around the settlement, one on the right and the other one on the left side.

They maintained a distance of around 50 meters from the Goblins.

It was only when Mathias saw that everyone had arrived at the position they were supposed to be that he made use of his Innate ability and the Earth elemental affinity.

Using more than half of his accumulated mana at once, his entire body felt drained of energy as two huge pieces pierced out of the ground fifty meters away from him.

With a length of more than 30 meters, a height of six meters, and a breadth of more than a meter, the two walls forcefully separated the group of 30 Goblins.

While Nial was now facing more than 15 Goblin Warriors that were cut off from the others, the Goblin Warriors on the other side of the wall were thoroughly confused.

On the other hand, Bella was facing the three stronger Goblins out of which two were Elite Warriors, with one Lesser Goblin Shaman.

There were also three other Goblin Warriors, but Bella simply ignored them as her focus was on the stronger opponents.

She had quickly realized that the Goblin Shaman was, by far, the strongest of the opponents, which made her eyes linger on that particular beast for the longest.

The six opponents Bella had to face didn't bother about being separated from their group.

Instead, they roared out at the sight of the beautiful woman, and their eyes gleamed in naked desire.

Bella just rolled her eyes in disgust, clearly showing her hatred towards the pathetic Goblins.

A fleeting and distant memory of eyes that were just like that of the Goblins resurfaced in her mind as she grit her teeth and two shortswords manifested in her hands.

Her eyes began to gleam in bright golden light, while her hair fluttered in the air, unveiling faint star-like streams.

If Mathias were to see this, he would be shocked, while Nial only had to sense this in order to understand that Bella was far more powerful than they knew.

Unfortunately, his distance from her was too big, and his mana perception didn't reach her.

Bella knew that Nial was unable to sense her as he had told his group about the limit up to which the radius of his mana perception could reach.

As she knew about this, Bella didn't even think about holding back her strength, even more so because this would mean that she had to endure the Goblins' disgusting gazes longer than necessary.

Without showing any signs of the slightest hesitation, she reached the first Goblin Warrior.

It was the beast that was the closest to her, but as it was unable to react in time, the Goblin died at the hands of Bella.

She had initiated a seemingly simple slash with the two shortswords of hers.

Yet, what nobody knew was that a faint stream of golden light followed her high-velocity attack that not even the Elite Goblins could keep up with.

Bella's physical strength had been enhanced severely, allowing her to break through the limits of an Original at the 7th Origin rank.

The potency of her mana enhanced her speed only further, giving Bella the necessary speed to eliminate all three Goblin Warriors within two seconds.

Her quick and flawless movements had allowed her to stay unscathed.

Thus, only the beasts behind the Earthen wall and the three powerful Goblins were left behind.

However, in the face of Bella's wrath, they were nothing more than lustful beasts that were bound to die at any moment.

Pushing her feet off the ground, Bella shot towards the closer Elite Goblin.

It swung a heavy longsword at Bella, but she didn't even see the need to evade it.

Instead, she twisted her body, while brandishing one of her shortswords, while slashing it at the flat side of the longsword.

Even though the gravitational force increased the impact of the heavy longsword, it barely affected Bella.

Using her entire strength, her Innate ability, and the [Outburst] ability, she inserted a large portion of mana inside her Dagger.

It began to vibrate while releasing golden currents of energy the moment the dagger collided with the heavy longsword.

Barely a moment later, a loud cracking noise resounded through the close surroundings.

Cracks spread all over the heavy longsword's blade which broke apart only moments later, revealing Bella's shortsword to the Elite Goblin.

Its eyes widened in terror as it noticed that Bella was far from done.

Gleaming brightly, the Elite Goblin could clearly see its reflection in the blade, allowing it to see its own fear, and horror just before the dagger pierced through its throat.

Ending the Elite Goblin's life within a second, the dagger penetrated through its throat, only to leave the body of the Goblin.

Blood spurted on Bella's face and trickled down her face without smearing it crimson red.

The blood of the beast was repelled from her flawless face due to a paper-thin semi-translucent membrane covering it tightly similar to how wax would repel water.

However, Bella didn't even notice that as her focus returned to the second Elite Goblin.

It looked at her in fear and was ready to retreat at once.

Yet, before it could even move a single inch, Bella had already vanished from the Goblin's sight.

A fraction of a second later it had already reappeared next to the Goblin with a draft of wind splashing into its face.

It turned its head towards the right side, only to see a glint of Bella's golden eyes.

This was also the last thing the Elite Goblin saw as its sight blurred a moment later while the remnants of its life force quickly drained from its body.

Clutching its chest tightly owing to the unbearable pain, the Elite Goblin succumbed to its injuries as it slumped to the ground, dead.

Bella had pierced her other shortsword in the chest of the Elite Goblin, mercilessly ending its life.

She had defeated her opponents as if they were mere pawns, and unworthy of her attention.

This was a huge contrast to what she had showcased to her team just the day before.

However, it was just a moment later, the temperature in Bella's surroundings seemed to shoot up by several dozen degrees out of nowhere.

Everything lit up brightly, dazzling her.

Forced to close her eyes, only her mana perception allowed her to figure out what was going on around her.

Several balls of fire were flying towards her with a rapid velocity.

However, just before she could prepare herself to evade or destroy them with ease, Bella froze in place as something unprecedented in the history of mankind happened.

A beast…began to speak in the same language humanity used!

"H-ell–loo H-Hchuman!"

**

While Bella had encountered the Lesser Goblin Shaman that seemed to be different to other Goblins, and proficient in the human language, Mathias had overwhelmed the Goblin Warriors that had been trapped between the two Earthen walls.

On the other hand, Nial was facing more than a dozen Goblin Warriors.

Each of them had stronger mana fluctuations and more mana stored in their body.

Their physical condition was also ought to be better than Nial's.

Nevertheless, he faced his opponents fearlessly while wielding the Viper spear with unparalleled confidence.

Even though he was unable to see, Nial's senses and reflexes helped him sense the movements of his opponents at the earliest point.

In some cases, it was not uncommon for him to know where the Goblin Warrior wanted to hit him before they knew it themselves.

This was how powerful his enhanced senses were!

Since a young age, he had been highly sensitive to sounds, vibrations, smell, and his gut feeling.

But right now, his perception was leaps and bounds stronger than ever before. He was able to tell when he was attacked at which exact moment, which was why Nial had a huge advantage in the battle.

He could easily react before the other party could complete his attack, to begin with.

Furthermore, when he added his extremely high affinity to the control and perception of mana, Nial had it even easier to evade the attacks of the Goblin Warriors.

That was even less the case as some of them didn't even wield their weapons.

Nial's group had surprised them, preventing the group of Goblins from recovering from the shock and being fully prepared.

Most of them might be wielding their weapons, but there was a small number of them that were forced to attack him with their claws and the sharp nails that could easily tear through flesh.

Those unarmed Goblin Warriors were overwhelmed by Nial's usage of the Viper spear, and his physical strength that was far higher than it was supposed to be.

Having undergone two enlargements, he was barely at the 3rd Origin rank.

Under normal circumstances, the amount of mana he possessed wouldn't allow his body to reach such a high strength as he possessed.

Yet, his physical strength had been enhanced to a much higher state owing to the Curse he had bound to his mana core.

Through this, the number of opponents that opposed him after a minute was reduced to less than 10 Goblin Warriors.

They were unable to exhibit their entire combat prowess due to their lack of combat experience and proper knowledge of martial arts.

This was something Nial had practiced for the last few weeks, while relentlessly training how to move, whether it was with weapons or without them.

His body had been steeled, and so had his mind!

Being able to move according to his will, Nial's smooth and nearly flawless movements made it seem as if he was dancing through the row of Goblin Warriors.

They had surrounded him, brandishing their weapons in order to slash, thrust or cleave them towards Nial.

Yet, within seconds, Nial took large strides, moving around with the grace of a dancer and eliminating goblins as if he was merely swatting the flies.

Hacking and slashing with the Viper spear, he killed them one after another, retracting the weapon a moment after he lunged at them.

It was almost as if he had turned into a snake that shot out at its opponents delivering one fatal blow after another.

Unbeknownst to Nial, his movements became quicker, the more he moved, and the moment he issued the last attack, the Goblin Warrior that was struck by fear of the being in front of it met its death.

Nial didn't look like a human to the Goblin.

Instead, he appeared to be a monster that was faintly enveloped in darkness that oddly resembled the Grim Reaper.

Or was it the Lord of Death, itself… or something entirely different, something much darker?
