Odyssey of the Blind God

Nial intended to join the battle once again. However, he quickly noticed that there was not much left for him to do.

In fact, if he were to join the fight between Bella and Sabrina right now, his own sister may unintentionally consider him as a reinforcement of the Angel\'s Saintess. That was obviously nonsense because he was mantled in darkness and the Saintess released a holy aura that repelled his darkness, but it was always better to be safe than sorry.

Sabrina seemed to be faring greatly against Bella Morningstar, either way, much to Nial\'s surprise. Not that he was not happy about it. Even though Bella was in her Divine form, a state that elevated her strength manyfold, she didn\'t seem to be able to overwhelm Sabrina who wielded a mere mace.

Nial was not too sure what exactly had happened to his little sister but she was much stronger than ever before and had even surpassed him in terms of cultivation rank. She had created not one but five more pillars than Nial and had already finished her first Mana Temple as well. Each of these steps ought to take years even if one were to be the fastest Cultivator.

It was only obvious but it didn\'t really make sense for Sabrina to have advanced to the Mythician rank. Oddly enough, Nial thought about the Realm of the Forgotten Time once again. He was pretty sure that Sabrina had been in a place where time and reality were distorted. This must have allowed her to simply fly through the ranks and become a Mythician Original.

As for Mathias, he was already at the Keltia rank as well. He was the fastest origin human to reach the Keltia rank since Nial was not an origin human, in the first place.

While Mathias\' progress and combat prowess astonished Nial a little, he was more intrigued by his sister. Mathias focused on the fight between Sabrina and Bella as well. There was not much else to do since the surroundings had been cleared of the remaining Angels. Bella was all by herself once again, surrounded by more than a hundred thousand Shadow Monsters, including more than a thousand Shadow Angels that had materialized with the great efforts of the Shadowmancer Dexter.

The Shadowmancer was now exhausted but that was only obvious. He had materialized the Shadows of more than a thousand powerful Angels while retaining their consciousness, and parts of their souls before he corroded them, turning the blessed and kind Angels into demonic existences, who danced to his tunes.

Mathias could hardly hide his surprise when faced with the existences that were shrouded in darkness and shadows, just like Nial, but he knew that they were all Nial\'s subordinates or his companions.

That didn\'t mean he was less surprised, though he felt a little bit more reassured to know that they had a numerical advantage. Nonetheless, the Elementalist began to wonder what exactly Nial had done in the last two decades for his strength to improve that much. Not only was it quite obvious that he was already at the Mid Keltia rank but he was also in control of more than a hundred existences at the Mythician rank. If that was not an achievement in itself, Mathias didn\'t know what was.

Maybe it was not possible for Nial to defeat Bella all by himself, but that was not necessary if he could throw thousands of loyal subordinates at her. They would weaken and injure her, slowly and steadily driving her to insanity. Mathias glanced over to Nial, who looked like a Dark Knight shrouded in the darkness that had consumed him.

Nial was observing the fight of Bella and Sabrina with increasing tension. The two were flying through the air while raining fierce blows upon one another. While Sabrina was trying to overwhelm Bella with brute force, fearsome speed, and unique movement patterns, Bella countered most attacks with the use of her light affinity and holy affinity.

It looked like she could predict most of Sabrina\'s next moves which resulted in the creation of a light shield and holy blasts that were unleashed in the direction Sabrina intended to rush a moment later. Bella was still far from analyzing the attack and movement pattern that Sabrina utilized but her radiant golden eyes allowed her to see far more than one could fathom.

\'She predicts the next direction of incoming attacks using the movement of the muscles, eyes, and other indicating factors of Sabrina\'s future movements…looks like this bitch has gotten stronger as well…\' Nial thought while trying to regain control of his rampaging dark energy. Unfortunately, attempting to control his dark energy all over his body made things more complicated for him. The highly volatile dark energy was slowly but steadily spreading through his entire body, affecting and influencing every cell of his body.

More dark energy naturally exuded from his pores, turning into an elastic second layer of his skin, just that this layer of skin seemed alive and writhed like a slime, trying to reach out to Bella with the intention to tear her apart and devour the grotesque existence in her entirety.

Nial was slowly overwhelmed by the desire to join the battle as well. His hands were still claws and his strength was not too far off from Sabrina\'s. There was still a big difference between them but that was a gap he could overcome quite easily with his abilities and the usage of dark energy. Furthermore, he was currently in an Ancient Devilization with the Roc, one of his fastest and strongest Devils.

It didn\'t like fighting all by itself but that was not further problematic since fusing together meant that Nial was still fighting and that the Devil Roc would remain inside his Heart of Darkness.

Nial was merely waiting for the perfect moment to join the battle between the two women when he perceived something that requested his immediate action. He shot into the air the moment a swirl of golden light manifested several kilometers away from the raging battle of the women. Nial was busy visualizing everything down to the finest detail and kept an eye on the possibility of someone from Bella\'s side suddenly interfering in the fight and attacking his sister by surprise.

That was exactly what happened a split second later as a being emerged out of the golden swirl.

The moment Nial perceived the being, chills ran down his spine.

The being looked like golden spirits that were floating in the air. It had a pair of golden semitranslucent wings that hung down its back, unmoving.

Its entire body was golden in color and it even looked like the body was of metal, to begin with. The being\'s face was covered by a mask that looked eerily similar to a holographic screen.

The mask made it impossible to see the being\'s face, even after Nial unleashed the strongest form of his Mana Sense. Around the holographic mask was a unique-looking crown.

It looked like the golden crown was part of the Spectran\'s body. The Spectran Nial perceived had a golden horn protruding from the area right above his mask and the crown seemed to have grown around the crown or from within it.

The lengthy body of the Spectran didn\'t show any signs of hidden muscles. There was no bulge from muscles anywhere on his body and he didn\'t seem to possess the means to reproduce either, or so Nial thought at least.

The humanoid, yet also somewhat mechanical appearance of the Spectran caused various emotions to erupt within Nial.

After all, he knew what kind of existence had just appeared within the golden swirl.

\'What the hell is a Primordial doing here?!?\'
