Odyssey of the Blind God Chapter 137 Life Lesson
Chapter 137 Life Lesson
The battle was not over yet!
Nial was trying his utmost to worsen the injury of the Darkness Doppelganger.
It didn't affect his opponent much, but that was not important because Nial's only goal was to reach its heart.
Using all his might into advancing with the Viper spear that had once again taken on the form of a glaive, Nial could clearly perceive that his use of the dark miasma was nearly perfect in the given situation.
His dark miasma restricted the jumps through the darkness, while simultaneously coating the Viper spear's blades.
The coat of dark miasma made many things easier, including worsening the injury Nial had inflicted.
It decayed the Darkness Doppelganger from within, weakening it simultaneously.
This made things much easier for Nial, but on the downside, he was restricted, and his body had begun to decay as well!
Like Nial, the Darkness Doppelganger used the same tactic and coated the blade of the darkness spear with dark miasma.
The only difference was that the darkness spear seemed to accelerate the speed at which the dark miasma spread out.
Nial had not expected this to happen, and it forced him to try doing the same because he could clearly sense that the Viper spear wouldn't reach the Darkness Doppelganger early enough.
Releasing all his strength, mana, and the mixed dark miasma at once, it was possible for Nial to further push his weapon into the Darkness Doppelganger's chest, only to halt a few centimeters away from its heart.
The Darkness Doppelganger's heart was like a vessel that stored all of its energies. Even the black miasma was not excluded as it was also stored in the vessels of Nial's opponent.
For Nial, it was not difficult to sense that owing to his high Mana perception. However, that made things even more frustrating because it seemed as if the heart of the Darkness Doppelganger was its only weakness.
Nial had to destroy it, by all means, otherwise, it would be impossible for him to return.
Thus, he even attempted to move forward in order to use his bare hand to pierce out.
He believed that coating it with dark miasma should be enough to pierce through the semi-solid body of the Darkness Doppelganger.
However, it was not possible for Nial to even move because his chest had been pierced by the darkness spear, while dark miasma restricted his movements.
Because both sides had used the same tactic right now, they were in a stalemate, and neither party could move.
They could only use their strength and the dark miasma to see who was going to die first.
This would needlessly drain him of his energy which was why Nial decided to try out something different!
Retracting a trace of his dark energy, Nial concentrated it right in front of his chest.
Gathering it with all his focus, he began to shape it into a paper-thin needle.
Under normal circumstances, long-range attacks were nothing Nial would use.
His blindness simply prevented him from creating truly powerful long-range attacks that hit their target over a long distance.
But right now, both of them were in a deadlock, unmoving, and had run out of energy.
Nial noticed that his own body would soon succumb to the injury he had sustained, and its aftermath.
As such, his final attack was to try out something that even the Darkness Doppelganger hadn't done yet; creating a projectile with dark energy to fire at his opponents!
The final product was rather crude, but Nial felt that it was decent for the efforts of someone with no experience in doing something like this with the dark energy.
He presumed that adding mana to the dark energy needle would give it more stability, but he did not have the time to test his theory.
With that in mind, Nial shot out the crude construct of the dark energy needle.
It was easy to perceive that the dark energy needle shot towards the right location.
His mana perception told him so. Through everything he sensed, Nial couldn't help but smile faintly, only to witness something that caused his bright expression to turn gloomy all of a sudden.
Out of nowhere, three dark energy needles manifested in front of the Darkness Doppelganger.
It took the Doppelganger only a fraction of a second to manifest them.
As if that was not frustrating enough, one of the needles shot straight at Nial's crude construct of a dark energy needle.
Nial's dark energy needle shattered in an instant but that of the Doppelganger kept advancing.
Followed by that, the remaining two needles advanced through the short distance between the Darkness Doppelganger and Nial.
Never would Nial have expected that it would be possible for the Darkness Doppelganger to block off his attack.
After all, it didn't take him that long to manifest it, and the needle's speed was not that slow either.
But at the end of the day, Nial had just witnessed that the Darkness Doppelganger was able to do far more than he could have hoped for.
Blood trickled out of the corners of Nial's mouth, followed by the unbearable pain of his chest being punctured thrice.
The pain had reached him only a second after the impact of the dark energy needles.
However, that made it even worse for Nial because he had still hoped for the Viper spear to penetrate through the heart of the Darkness Doppelganger.
His eyes blurred and his legs grew weak in an instant.
'This fucking bullshit!!!' He cursed in his mind.
Nial simply wanted to kill this resilient and complex type of opponent, but this achievement appeared to be near impossible.
But this time he had made considerable progress ad knew that it was not impossible to defeat the Darkness Doppelganger.
And that was all that counted!
What did it matter, whether he died once more or less within the darkness domain of the God of Darkness if he could achieve his goal?
Nial simply accepted the pain, while trying to force his mind to keep thinking, and create an attack with the help of everything he had understood during the last 30 seconds!
Time passed slowly, and Nial died, just to heal once again.
However, instead of getting up from the ground, Nial focused his attention on creating a plan of attack.
His mind came up with several plans on how to defeat the Darkness Doppelganger.
As such, a slow smile formed on his lips.
He wanted to try using the dark energy needles more often, and add another layer to his attacks with the Viper spear.
This would provide him with the chance to defeat the Darkness Doppelganger in no time.
But that was only under the condition that it would be possible for him to gain a higher proficiency with the dark energy.
Otherwise, it would be a hassle to start multitasking in a fight where he was usually overwhelmed.
Wielding the Viper spear in a swift and powerful manner, while controlling the dark miasma followed by long-range attacks that were conjured around his body was certainly not easy.
Nial thought about the given situation a lot. However, in the end, he simply accepted the fact that he had 10 more days left before he had to go back. That meant the Darkness doppelganger had to be defeated until then!
His former plan was slightly different, and Nial would have loved to be outside the darkness domain right now.
However, not everything would go according to his plan in the future. This was something Nial understood, which was why he simply accepted the current situation.
In the end, it wouldn't even be devastating if he were to take longer than 10 days before he could defeat the Darkness Doppelganger.
The only issue was that the Military was likely to ask him where he was, and if his excuse was not valid enough, he would receive a harsher punishment for being too late.
But that was something Nial accepted without hesitation.
He didn't think that the Odyssey seed would be able to eradicate his soul and reincarnate the God of Darkness within him.
This was simply something that would not happen because too many factors spoke against this.
First of all, there was the fact that he hadn't heard the voice of the Darkness God after day 1.
Adding the fact that the influence of the dark energy had decreased drastically, and that Nial barely noticed it now, he was able to remain quite calm at the thought of staying longer in the darkness domain.
The darkness domain allowed him to improve at a rapid pace. Each minute was extremely valuable for Nial, which was why he wanted to make use of it.
Clenching his hand, Nial grasped the Viper spear's shaft tightly before getting up from the ground.
The Darkness Doppelganger hadn't attacked despite him resting longer than five minutes.
This was the first instance ever since they started fighting against each other 20 days ago.
As such, Nial kept his attention on his mana perception and the noises which the Darkness Doppelganger made.
It was a little bit odd, but the Darkness Doppelganger didn't even move towards him.
Moving sideways, it was as if the Darkness Doppelganger was thinking about something, and contemplating about itself.
This was a little bit weird because Nial had presumed that the Darkness Doppelganger was an unintelligent existence that had been created by the Fragment of God.
He thought that it had just gained all of Nial's traits, combat awareness, and a few more traits that were necessary to exhibit the highest combat prowess.
As such, perceiving the state of the Darkness Doppelganger was quite weird for Nial.
Nial spent half a minute thinking about the most efficient plan before utilizing it.
Releasing three crude dark energy needles at once, they were manifested in a single second before Nial shot them out.
Their speed was slower than the previous dark energy needle, but that was perfectly fine.
With a blinding speed, Nial shot up from the ground.
Lots of mana circulated through his body, enhancing his physique drastically as he reached a terrifically high speed.
Shooting forward like a flying arrow, Nial emerged on the Darkness Doppelganger's side.
The Darkness Doppelganger had noticed the three dark energy needles that shot towards it.
Evading and blocking them was quite easy for his opponent, who perceived Nial's presence next to it a moment later.
Nial thrust the Viper spear in his hand forward.
Dark energy coated the spear's blade, while black miasma oozed out of him, enveloping the Darkness Doppelganger at once.
Just a moment later, Nial made use of his entire energy as he manifested a total of five crude darkness needles next to him.
One was manifested above Nial's head, and two on each side of him.
Without hesitation, Nial released them, each targeting the Darkness Doppelganger's heart, while the Viper spear was gleaming in a faint green light.
He had activated the Viper spear's poison crystal, to add a poisonous trait to the blade.
The poison was forcefully merged with the dark miasma, giving it a faint green touch.
Due to this, it didn't even matter, whether Nial thrust the Viper spear in the Darkness Doppelganger's chest or not.
However, the Viper spear still pierced into the left side of the Darkness Doppelganger, while two of the five crude dark energy needles penetrated directly through its heart.
The moment Nial sensed that the heart was pierced through, the corners of his lips moved upward.
'Never be distracted in a fight, if you can only die once!!' Nial could only think, understanding that even the last second of the Darkness Doppelganger's life served as a crucial lesson for him.
