Odyssey of the Blind God

"Die!!" Valvian could already visualize the tip of his spear piercing through Silvian. Not even higher-ranked Prometheus Elves would be able to face him right now.

As a Midnight Elf, he was currently in a state, where the surrounding nature gave him all the power he needed to defeat every opponent around him.

Having activated this ability would force both Valvian and the Forest of Life to enter a weakened state for a short period but that was something mandatory to defeat Silvian.

'We can do it! I can do it!!!' Valvian's mind was fueled by anger. He could clearly perceive that more Elves were dying outside on the battlefield. They were fighting with their life on the line, but the powers of the Dryx were simply too strong.

They might be unevolved and common Dryx at the beginning, but given their ridiculously high numbers, it had only been a matter of time before they evolved and grew stronger.

If it was possible to fight several Dryx at once after the battle against them had begun, even facing two evolved Dryx simultaneously was quite difficult.

Hundreds of Dryx had evolved, and more were bound to follow suit. Their numbers were constantly decreasing but this only provided an opportunity for the Dryx that were alive to become stronger. The pressure on the human Originals and the Elves increased with every passing minute.

Silvian had to die, otherwise, the Dryx would continue to become stronger. Without the commands of their God and leader that had been burned into their minds to guide them, the Dryx would enter a state of utter confusion for several moments.

Even if there were to be some Dryx leaders, it would take a while before they would regain control over the seemingly brainless Dryx!

'I have to do it!!' Valvian screamed out as an enormous amount of mana circulated through his body, further accelerating his movement speed. His speed had already gone past what his body was supposed to endure.

Valvian's flawless skin had already burst open, and blood was oozing out of the wounds his rapid actions had created.

However, Valvian was incapable of thinking about his body's well-being right now. His entire mind was focused on the spear thrust he had issued while going beyond his limits.

The emerald spear pierced out with a rapid speed that was invisible to the eyes of most existences. Strong wind currents shrouded the spear. They accelerated the spear's speed, and its power before further pushing the weapon's strength beyond its limit.

Valvian's eyes were serious and killing intent continued to leak from him. He was ready to take on Silvian.

Yet, just when he thought that he got Silvian and that he could kill him effortlessly, the Sacred Knights leader turned around.

One of his eyes gleamed in a holy white light. It was completely shrouded in the white light and one couldn't see past it but that was not necessary to gauge Silvian's might.

While one of his eyes was shrouded in white holy light, his other eye was shrouded in something that was crimson in color. Valvian had no idea what it was, and he didn't allow his mind to be influenced either.

Without hesitation, he charged forward and launched his attack before he pierced through the white glowing mantle.

The mantle was dyed crimson, making the corners of Valvian's mouth curl upward. It almost looked like everything was going according to Valvian's plan.

However, just when Valvian thought this, he could see the smile on Silvian's face. He looked at Valvian in a ridiculing manner before opening his mouth slightly.

"I told you... you should never underestimate a God!"

Silvian's voice was eerily cold, and Valvian felt shivers running down his spine. He wanted to turn his head away from Silvian's glowing eyes, retreat, and think of a new plan to attack. All Valvian wanted to do was to run, run for his life!

Many emotions flashed through his mind, but not a single one consisted of the thought of continuing to fight Silvian and attempting to kill him.

Such thoughts were just ridiculous and not something Valvian dared to think anymore.

Nonetheless, his body reacted differently. His subconscious knew what was on the line. Thus, he dug the spear deeper inside Silvian without realizing it.

But instead of showing signs of pain, Silvian simply smiled.

"You are much stronger than I expected. It was a good idea to lose the last bits of my Chaotic Divine energy for you. Be grateful that I used this energy to fight you, not many can say that they fought against me like this...and even less can claim to have survived.

Will you be one of them? Probably not. After all, you've already lost your weapon and you're missing your arm." A devilish smile appeared on Silvian's face, and as if he had been ordered to do so, Valvian looked at his arm that had been holding the emerald spear.

At least, his arm and the emerald spear were supposed to be there. However, the only thing he saw was a fountain of blood that was spurting on the ground.

'My arm...has been cut off?' It took Valvian a few moments to realize what had happened.

However, upon understanding that his arm had been cut off and that both his cut-off arm and his weapon had been flung through the Forest of Life, his eyes widened in terror.

Valvian hadn't even sensed anything and he had no idea when Silvian had attacked him.

"ARGGHHH!!!" Unbearable pain spread through Valvian's body all of a sudden. His protruding veins looked a little blackish all of a sudden, and his eyes turned foggy for several seconds.

It was as if he had been caught somewhere and despite feeling unbearable pain, Valvian had quieted down.

His expression was rigid and his body froze in place. Even the bleeding stump that had now replaced his once well-functioning arm had stopped.

However, this was due to the Midnight Elf's rapid healing and the fact that the Forest of Life provided him with enough vigor to let him regenerate quickly.

The Forest of Life demanded Valvian to continue to fight, to give his all, and to never succumb to the forces of Silvian.

It was obvious that Valvian was on the losing side. He had been caught red-handed. Silvian had deviously tricked the Midnight Elf before he could even do something to retaliate.

"This was fun, but it's over now," Silvian concluded before his eyes widened the moment the white and crimson glowing eyes had reverted to their original appearance.

His body felt as if it had been paralyzed. Blood trickled out of his nose, his mouth, and his eyes.

Silvian could only see that everything was a bit blurry, that everything turned red because of all the blood that filled his eyes, while his body began to crack all of a sudden.

'My Mana core?!' Silvian was shocked when he noticed that his mana core showed signs of cracking.

He knew that it was dangerous to use the partially Cursed God transformation as it used up the last remnants of Chaos Divine energy.

Everything had been made use of and directed into his counterattack to prevent Valvian from killing him.

However, the sudden improvement in strength and the fact that he used a power his body was not able to handle were clearly visible in accordance with his body's condition.

'I shouldn't have used this power...I already used powers this body cannot handle when I created this annoying Dryx leader. The 400,000 Dryx were also a hassle to bring over... I need the Empress' manifested divinity fragment!!' Silvian forced his head to turn in the direction of the divinity fragment.

It was only a few hundred meters away from him, and once he got his hands on it, Silvian would tweak its parameters to suit him. He couldn't devour it, let alone create his own Divinity out of the divinity fragment of someone else.

This was impossible at his body's rank.

But what he could do was to change the location of the teleportation of the manifested portal back to his homeplace. Once he had accumulated enough energy, more Dryx could come over. It would even be possible to bring over various resources, and goods that he needed to regain his strength.

Silvian knew that he needed more trump cards in the fight over Jundra's supremacy. It wouldn't be easy as everything had just started but he had to try.

However, Silvian wanted a head-start, which was why he needed the Empress' manifested divinity fragment by all means!

'Just a few moments, I need just a few moments before I can move again, I will kill this Midnight Elf, take the portal and leave. My little babies should be evolving by now. Everything is going according to my plan, well most of it!' Silvian felt like he had won already.

Except for the fight against Valvian, the entire situation was going according to his plan. Everything was perfect which was why a satisfied smile emerged on his face.

'I just need to leave without encountering anyone and heal for a few months, or a year, at most!'

But what Silvian hadn't expected was that the nightmare of his dream would resurface.

Damian, the Ruler of Darkness, the only unpredictable variable, whom he had encountered thousands of times, in places the God of Darkness was never supposed to be, appeared right in front of him, once again.

He was in the body of a young blind man called Nial and didn't go by the name Damian, or Ruler of Darkness.

Nonetheless, Silvian was sure that Nial Orin, the young Original, who had barely advanced to the 1st Mirae rank was Damian, the same person, who had caused so much pain and struggle to Silvian.

Silvian may call him a friend if one were to ask him about his relationship with the God of Darkness, but he never felt like that.

Damian had been a nuisance and the worst enemy he had ever faced. And even now, with both of them residing in a body that couldn't be further away from attaining Godhood than ever before, Nial Orin, or Damian the Ruler of Darkness, appeared right in front of him.

"Surprise!" Nial exclaimed and his expression turned icy as he growled out, "...you piece of shit."

Right from the moment Nial had perceived Silvian's partial Cursed God transformation, he knew that Valvian would likely die.

It was odd that Nial used his Cursed Divine energy to cut through Valvian's arm using his finger. After all, Silvian could have cut through Valvian's entire body easily.

But when Nial realized that Silvian hadn't been able to bend his body, let alone do more than just a simple vertical motion with his hand, it was clear that Silvian could not do more than he already did.

His partial Cursed God transformation was something that went against the laws of Jundra. Despite that, Silvian had been able to do it, only to face the punishment a moment later.

While Valvian was in a state of oblivion and was tangled in the Chaos Divine energy, whose fragments had entered his body when his arm had been cut off, Silvian's current strength was barely at the 3rd Advanced Mirae rank.

Even that was already a generous guess, considering that Silvian was not able to move and that his body was on the verge of breaking apart.

This was why Nial had prepared an attack with the use of some of the accumulated dark energy he had amassed. The Forest of Life reacted to his Ankh. It provided him with vigor, and the necessary energy to rescue Valvian, the Midnight Elf, who was responsible for the Forest of Life.

Nial was the only one who could rescue Valvian because everybody else was already fighting for their life outside the Forest of Life. Everyone trusted that Valvian would defeat Silvian, who had already been injured before he arrived in the Forest of Life.

However, nobody could have expected Silvian to be able to use the partial Cursed God transformation. Most didn't even know what that was, to begin with.

But to everyone's fortune, Nial was present to handle the situation. He blasted toward Silvian, the only one, who cursed Nial's entire existence as more than a dozen darkness spears manifested around the Dragonflame spear.

"Die for me, bitch!!"
