Odyssey of the Blind God

Chapter 266 Swear In The Name Of...



Others might believe that Nial was insane for attacking someone an entire rank above his strength. Under normal circumstances, Silvian would be several times stronger than Nial, and there was no way for him to defeat him.

Even the Prometheus Dryx should have been much easier to defeat because it had already been on the verge of death.

However, attacking Silvian, while his mana was unstable and his entire body was on the verge of collapsing was the most logical thing he could do.

Valvian was caught in some sort of spell, and he felt as if it was impossible for him to do anything.

That was why Nial knew that he had to intervene in the fight. He might be much weaker under normal circumstances but the situation they were in right now was far from ordinary.

The darkness spears Nial had created shot out at Silvian with a rapid speed. Simultaneously, Nial\'s Dragonflame spear pierced out as well.

The blade of his spear was engulfed in searing hot dark flames that were lethal enough to pierce through the body of existences at the Mirae rank easily.

Just when the darkness spears and the Dragonflame spear were about to pierce Silvian\'s body, the Sacred Knights leader activated [Holy Guard] using his last remnants of mana.

\'This bastard....why did he appear here all of a sudden?! It makes no sense for him to attack me, he is so weak!!\' Silvian thought in annoyance. He felt as if the entire world was collapsing above his head. The entire situation made no sense to him.

Nial was extremely weak, yet, even after using his highly potent mana to activate the [Holy Guard], it looked like his ability\'s strength was progressively getting weaker.

While the dozen darkness spears pierced inside the Holy Guard, the Dragonflame spear cut through it without hesitation.

Silvian was not hit by the attack because it was not possible for Nial to destroy the Holy Guard completely. Nonetheless, Silvian could tell that his mana was not enough to face another attack of such high strength.

\'Why? Why?! Just Why?!?\' Silvian groaned in frustration and felt as if his entire world was being turned upside down. He was so close to his goal, yet, everything seemed to crumble right in front of him.

Silvian didn\'t want to accept this. Never in his life had it been so important for a plan he created to succeed. It didn\'t matter what sacrifices he had to make, as long as his plan succeeded, everything would be fine!

Endless hatred ignited from the depths of his heart, a hatred that he had been seething in for eons. Right now, Silvian didn\'t even hide his wrath and hatred toward Damian anymore.

It didn\'t matter whether Nial and Damian were the same or not. Silvian hated both and because they were so similar, it was not even necessary for him to differentiate them from each other. His mind blanked out as Nial retracted the Dragonflame spear.

The young Original was ready to pierce out his razor-sharp weapon once again. Nial was going for the kill, clearly understanding that Silvian was too dangerous to be left alive.

Pushing his feet off the wet ground of the Forest of Life\'s open center, he blasted forward. Using his weight as a leverage to further increase the strength of his attack, Nial was certain that the Holy Guard would break.

\'You don\'t have much mana left anymore, am I right?\' Nial asked in his mind as a confident smile appeared on his face. He knew that Silvian had pushed his limits way too much.

Whether he was at the Prometheus rank or at a much higher rank, once he would have used up his entire mana, the condition of his body would worsen! If he was already in a bad condition, Silvian would be in a near-death state the moment he would start using his last mana reserve to create a second Holy Guard.

Nial knew that he was at an advantage and he intended to make use of it. The dark flame around the Dragonflame spear flared up the moment the tip collided with the weakened Holy Guard.

Nial\'s dark energy slowly wore off the holy energy within the Holy Guard. After the first attack, the holy energy within the Holy Guard had already grown much weaker.

Thus, when the second attack followed, the blade pierced much deeper into the Holy Guard. Dark energy was released at a rapid pace and Nial roared out as he enlarged the dark flame further.

The dark flames engulfed every nook and cranny within the Holy Guard\'s range of protection. Silvian\'s scream could be heard from inside, which was enough reason for Nial\'s smile to broaden.

\'His body won\'t be able to handle it!\' Nial was certain that Silvian had grown even weaker. The God of Saints and Devil\'s incarnation had to be killed, and today was the first time the opportunity had unveiled itself.

Wanting to make use of the opportunity, Nial retracted the Dragonflame spear for the second time. He intended to pierce out again, destroy the Holy Guard and penetrate Silvian\'s heart, thereby ending his miserable life.

However, just when he intended to pierce out for the third time in the last few seconds, two things happened simultaneously.

Valvian regained his senses. The minuscule remnants of the Chaos Divine energy had been expelled from his body, allowing the Midnight Elf to return to the place he belonged to.

He was still standing in the middle of the Forest of Life, his arm and weapon were missing, but not much time seemed to have passed since the Chaos Divine energy had entered his body.

Valvian was still alive, after all! But what he saw only a few meters in front of him caused the Midnight Elf to be shocked to the core.

"Nial?!" He muttered in utter dumbfounding, wondering if he was seeing things correctly. Yet, even after he rubbed his eyes in confusion, the fact remained that Nial was still fighting Silvian.

\'Impossible...he is not only fighting Silvian, but Nial is the one attacking actively... Silvian is defending!\' Valvian was shocked to see the tremendous dark energy Nial\'s entire body released. If he were to target the Forest of Life with the dark energy, it would be destroyed.

The dark energy felt much more deadly than ever before but when Valvian understood why this was the case, he felt like collapsing on the ground.

\'The Forest of Life is helping him???\' The excessive energy of the Forest of Life was directly transferred to Nial, instead of the Midnight Elf, who actually had the necessary special trait to use the Forest of Life\'s energy and vigor.

It was said to be impossible for other Elves, let alone other existences, to use the Elven powers of nature. Yet, not only was Nial using the Forest of Life\'s energy but he instinctively turned the highly potent mana into the dark energy released by his body.

Every single bit of dark energy targeted Silvian. The Sacred Knights leader was still shrouded in the Holy Guard that burned brightly. His screams had disappeared, and Valvian could only see how Nial pierced out for the third time.

Killing intent merged with his dark energy that stiffened for a moment. It was a mere second later that the entire dark energy changed its form, blasting straight into the Holy Guard that broke under the tremendous force.

\'Can he actually do it??\' Valvian thought in shock, not believing what he was seeing.

However, just when Valvian was about to feel happy, he could see that Nial stiffened visibly.

\'Why? What is going on?\'

At first, he was confused but after a moment passed, Valvian understood what was going on.

Silvian\'s mana and his entire existence seemed to have disappeared from within the Holy Guard. It was as if the Sacred Knights leader had never entered the Forest of Life, to begin with.

This was not something that was supposed to be possible. Despite that, it had just happened in front of Nial and Valvian. Silvian had disappeared into thin air!

Upon seeing this, Valvian\'s entire body turned cold. All of a sudden, his entire existence was shrouded in something that prevented him from moving and thinking.

He felt as if he had been turned into a statue, and only when he felt something eerily cold touching his hand did he feel that someone had appeared by his side.

"May you and your race cease to exist...in the future when I return to take what belongs to me." A weak and pained voice resounded in Valvian\'s ear. His body intended to flinch but Valvian was still not able to move.

Only his eyes darted to the side when the being next to him moving. What he saw was a burned face that revealed his cheekbone.

\'Silvian!!\' Valvian screamed out internally. Silvian had appeared behind Valvian without letting anyone notice, just to disappear once again.

His condition was worse than ever before, and Silvian was the person who knew the best about this. He had underestimated the power of Valvian from the moment they had begun to fight.

Because he had already been in a weakened state, it had been a necessity for Silvian to go all in. But to think that this was the biggest mistake he could have made...

If the Midnight Elf\'s power was a variable he had miscalculated, then Nial\'s sudden interference was an unpredictable variable; the worst thing that could have happened!

He was angered and fueled with hatred toward the existence that was wielding the grotesque and disgustingly powerful dark energy. Silvian had already forgotten about the manifested Divinity fragment. His entire mind was solely directed at one task; one thing he had to solve by all means.

\'I want him dead. Damian has to die, for good!!\' Silvian appeared next to Nial without anyone realizing it. He didn\'t use even a tiny bit of mana to achieve this feat, just the special trait he had received as a God.

Nial merely noticed Silvian when he appeared next to his body, and the moment he visualized the Incarnation of the God of Saints and Devils, Nial was not sure whether a living person had appeared next to him, or a badly tortured dead being.

"Even if I have to die, I will return!! Meanwhile, your soul will cease to exist...that I swear in the name I was given by the Origin itself!" Silvian screamed out and blood spilled out of his mouth as his decaying hand reached out for Nial\'s neck.

"But first of all, we will have some fun!"

Silvian\'s voice echoed through the Forest of Life, and a creepy smile formed on his burned face as he lifted his other hand that was tightly grasping an amulet.

The amulet began to glow, shrouding both Nial and Silvian.

"Let\'s fight for life and death, once and for all... my friend, it is time for our paths to separate!"
