Odyssey of the Blind God - Chapter 760: Fated Fight (7/10)

His sole target was the Advocate of the Pryard, defeating her was all that counted right now.

He released more darkness, which resulted in another cough full of blood, but Nial ignored that.

The force of his Darkness rang out explosively, flinging the Advocate of the Pryard across the battlefield.

She hit the last standing wall of the Divine Hall and she encountered Nial toppling above her when she lifted her head.

‘…’

Her golden and silver eye trembled.

The darkness in Nial’s dead eyes desired to devour her.

She furrowed her brows.

A vision unfolded in front of her.

No…she wasn’t mistaken.

She saw a possible future unfolding right in front of her.

Her Divinity was already unleashed but she couldn’t see Nial’s movements. What was going on?

She saw her own death.

What was going on?

Though almost inconspicuous, a sore feeling and heat haze rose from parts all over her body. It was a sign that her body was nearing its physical limit. That she had already exceeded her limit a long time ago.

However, it made sense. It was only natural.

She had used too much of her divine energy at once, not realizing that her divine eyes and transformation were still draining her.

The damage from Nial’s attack could not be ignored either. The Dark Successor had yet to inflict serious injuries on her, but the attacks he delivered over the course of the last few hours were not to be underestimated.

He was clearly at his limits as well. However, Nial didn’t look like he would falter, not anytime soon, never.

The future she saw was grim. She fought and fought until she finally collapsed, just like the other Advocates did.

Was that what would happen soon?

Because as she saw it, no matter how long this war lasted, the result would be the same.

The commotion outside was slowly dying down as more and more Gods realized that they were on the losing side.

Well…

It was to be expected. The Army of Devils, the Asuras, and the Infernal Ancients had combined their forces.

And that was not even everything.

Some Divine Gods fought on the Dark Successor’s side as well. They changed sides…or maybe they had never been on her side, in the first place.

Were her scheming skills that bad? She thought that all Divine Gods would believe her and that they would fight for her, or their Universe at least.

The Advocate of the Pryard lifted her head and looked up at the sky.

…

She suddenly felt empty and tired.

The Advocate of the Pryard sighed as she diverted her gaze to Nial.

She had always retorted to the most beneficial decision whenever she encountered a crisis.

Although the outcome was not always the best she was still alive…and she wouldn’t die today either.

She could change her appearance and start anew. As long as she was alive, everything could be rebuilt!

But first, she would give her utmost to crush the enemy in front of her with absolute force.

If she was to fail, she could always flee…probably…

According to her calculations, the divine orbs should have been strong enough to turn Nial into a half-dead God, but they weren’t. Nial ended up less injured than the lowest calculation she had come up with.

So this time, she chose to accept her mistake and learn. It was time to be a bit more attentive.

Thinking so, The Advocate shot forward.

Suddenly, the cloud-like ground sank, forming a deep crater around her.

She raised her chin with arms wide open and released her Divinity while staring high into the air.

Then she screamed loudly.

Her voice, full of unsettling energy, spread far and wide.

The ear-splitting shriek seemed to inform the divine realm of her position as its Overlord.

It was then.

A sphere the size of a small star burst the ground open as it soared into the air.

The sphere was searing hot, made of flames that melted even space itself.

It was almost as if the sphere was the sun.

‘What…’

Nial had been preparing himself for the next attack. However, he had been pushed back and widened his eyes.

He retreated earlier in preparations to possibly execute the final blow, killing the Advocate.

Unfortunately, that wouldn’t work anymore.

He felt a sudden change in the surrounding. Even without being able to see, Nial could tell that his surrounding was different.

The divine realm turned white.

The sky and the earth flipped.

But that was not everything.

It was then.

As soon as Nial’s darkness perceived his surroundings, he doubted the truth of the information he received.

The blazing flames of the sphere spread across the entire divine realm. The flames flickered and traveled slowly in one direction.

A searing hot gale brushed past Nail’s face.

‘Fuck’

The sun-like sphere and its flames were all heading to one place.

With that, Nial finally realized that this battle was about to grow even more difficult, and painful.

Flames blocked his way of escaping before he could do anything. His darkness was burned to a crisp as well.

Only the darkness inside his body remained.

His mind blanked out for a moment and he began to move even before a single straight thought formed in his head.

His entire body emitted a golden light. Silverish-Crimson streams spread through the golden light, fortifying the golden light.

He didn’t really want to make use of this power, but there was no other way around it.

Nial sensed the danger that approached him and automatically used the True Golden Dragon God’s Power…Goldy’s power.

Everywhere he turned, he sensed the searing hot flames. It was almost as if he was in a sea of fire.

Pillars of fire rose into the air like erupting volcanoes.

Ragings winds cut through the divine realm.

All the fire in the world seemed to engulf Nial.

It was almost as if the sun itself trapped him.

‘Shit…’

Nial tried everything he could.

He tried to find a way out but not even Grasp of Eclipse seemed to work.

The Power of the True Golden Dragon God was not something Nial had ever used. In fact, he was pretty sure that the aftermath of using this power would be quite severe.

However, he had to do it, no matter what fate he would face at the end of the day.

He had yet to gain full control of Goldy’s power, and it was because of this that he was not able to escape the sea of flames.

The range of the flames was so wide that there was simply no way out.

Panicking a little, Nial tried to force himself through the fire.

The golden light around him fortified and sparks crackled as they collided with the flames.

The flames and golden light began to clash.

But even that wasn’t enough to overturn the situation.

The fire destroyed the golden light as fast as the golden light destroyed the flames.

They would exterminate each other, resulting in no change of the current situation.

The problem was just that Nial’s energy was slowly decreasing. He was already injured and his usage of the reinforced dark energy was still restricted. If not for that, the Advocate of the Pryard would be dead by now.

She knew that, but she couldn’t care at this moment.

Her Divinity overpowered Nial’s Cursed Divinity right now. That was all that counted!

Nial was drenched in sweat and a scorching smell flooded his nostrils.

He was being burned, devoured by the flames that engulfed him.

‘Am I going to die?’

This was the first time he thought that death approached him.

His mouth was wide open but no sound came out.

There was not much he could do at this point.

The vast majority of the divine realm was flooded with devouring flames.

He merely perceived the fire’s advance.

‘Can I really end it like that?’

Strangely enough, he didn’t feel like ending it here.

His body would turn into a cinder soon but he didn’t want to accept that.

Who would accept a fate like that in the first place?

He closed his eyes and sighed deeply

And then…

‘What happened?’

After a moment of utter silence, Nial flinched.

Did he just die?

No

He could still feel the heat surrounding him.

However, something had changed.

Memories flashed through his mind. It made him feel as if he was living three different lifetimes in a matter of seconds.

First, his life as Nial Lacardia flashed through his mind.

Then Nial Orin reappeared.

And last but not least…Damian reappeared.

The life of Damian, the God of Darkness, flashed through his mind.

‘He is still here?’

It felt like Damian had returned to him.

At this moment, the intensity of the fire engulfing him had decreased noticeably.

He could also hear some new sounds.

His body began to move not long after.

‘What took you so long?’ Nial murmured to himself, then tightened his grip around the Eternal Darkness Spear.

Slowly, his stance changed and he felt the return of control over his body.

It was as if Damian guided him.

It was comfortable.

Just a moment ago, he thought everything was over, but now he felt secure.

All his fears disappeared, and his entire being began to fill with indestructible confidence.

His left eye radiated pitch-black darkness and his right eye was overflowing with golden light.

And at that moment…
