Odyssey of the Blind God Chapter 183 Giving Up? Fuck Off!!

Chapter 183 Giving Up? Fuck Off!!

The mysterious energy disappeared the moment the purple portal had been stabilized in its restricted form. This prevented beasts with a combat prowess of eight advanced Origin rings from passing through the portal.
Though it was still harrowing, it was thousands of times better than the situation they would have to face without the interference of the mysterious energy.
Nial presumed that this mysterious energy hailed from the planetary core itself. However, that was merely his assumption and not a proven fact.
In the end, it didn't really matter, to begin with, because the only important fact was that the military camp might not be doomed.
Nial's range of perception was able to perceive every single ally and enemy within the large plaza.
That was why he could deduce that their chances of survival might not be the greatest but also that they might not die as long as they fought desperately.
"The number of Dryx emerging from the portal is stabilizing at one every second." Junades said, more to himself than the people around him.
He was currently thinking of what to do and trying to figure out how to handle the current situation while protecting as many young Originals as possible.
The new generation had to be protected for mankind to live on, otherwise, the entire human race would go extinct in the future.
'I hope that we're the only ones facing problems!' Junades thought worriedly, hoping that none of the other military camps or the other shelters had to face such a horrifying situation.
A moment later, a sapphire-colored longsword manifested in Junades' hand. The moment he touched it, a faint layer of mana shrouded it. The longsword glimmered faintly, which made one believe that it was thirsty for the blood of the opponents it would kill.
He took a deep breath before looking at Nial and the other two diligent Originals he had been training for the last three months.
They were bound to become powerful powerhouses in the future as long as they kept striving for more strength.
Junades couldn't allow them to die, not right here and right now!
He activated his ability [Bravery] that strengthened the morale of the people around him. Everyone in the range of his ability received not only a boost in morale but also an amplification in their strength.
Simultaneously with the activation of his first ability, Junades activated his Innate ability, [Mana touch].
[Mana touch] shrouded everything Junades touched with a thin layer of mana as long as he wanted to.
Junades could regulate the density of the thin mana layer by inserting mana into his Innate ability.
Strengthening the sapphire-blue longsword with [Mana touch], while taking away the fear of his comrades, Junades roared out before he shot towards the Dryx that were about to reach the first unmoving Originals.
The young men and women were unable to move, still feeling as if a spell had been cast on them.
However, the moment Junades reached them, this spell was dispelled in an instant. Junades' [Bravery] had this effect, providing numerous advantages in terms of fortifying one's mentality.
With quick thrusts and slashes, Junades killed the Dryx in front of him. They were as weak as described in the reports.
But Junades could also perceive that their regeneration ability was terrifyingly high, which was why he destroyed both their heart and mana core at the same time.
It was impossible for him to burn the corpse of the Dryx right at this instant, let alone to find ways of decomposing their shattered mana core.
Too many Dryx had emerged from the portal, and an alarmingly high number of them was too powerful. While there had only been Dryx at the Origin rank, in the beginning, this had quickly changed as stronger emerged from the portal.
"Brothers and Sisters, fight by my side to defeat the infiltrators!!!" Junades amplified his vocal cords with the use of mana. Thus, his voice reached every nook and cranny of the Teradan military camp.
The Originals with the strongest will had regained their senses by now, and only those with slightly weaker will needed a slight 'push' that came in the form of Junades' loud voice.
Instinctively sensing the dangers ahead of them, all the Instructors and even the remaining 31 representatives of the various large Organizations and Guilds unsheathed their weapons.
On the other hand, Jase, Yves, and the other young Originals, who had been warned by Nial were slowly waking up from their stupor as well after seeing how both weak and powerful beasts had emerged from the portal.
Swallowing their saliva at the sight of the Dryx that had already created Origin rings, not many dared to move.
Not even Jase dared to move at first as a Prym ranked Dryx with three Advanced Origin rings revolving around its mana core flew over him, flapping its mighty and pathogen-carrying wings.
A large number of Originals were frozen in place. Many didn't even dare to move until the Dryx reached right in front of them, slashing out with their claws that exceeded a length of 30 centimeters.
Their claws were sharp enough to scrap well-forged shields and even the strongest Common grade armors.
Thus, at the sight of the Dryx movements, and the barbaric way in which they tore apart the first few unmoving Originals, a distinct fear was instilled within everyone.
Just at that moment, a 10th Origin rank Dryx landed on the ground right in front of a group of young men and women.
The moment it crashed onto the ground, a small crater was formed. Its hideous purple face that was covered with numerous bacteria-filled greenish-purple pimples glanced over the group of young Originals as its 50-center-meter long tongue licked over a part of its face.
In a slow-motion that could be perceived by everyone, the Dryx lifted its right claw, its long, dirty nails gleaming in the purple light, ready to dig in the flesh of its victims.
No hesitation could be seen in the beast's pitch-black eyes.
Likewise, there was also no sign that it was in a rush to kill its opponents.
The Dryx seemed to enjoy seeing its victim's expressions, to perceive how their expression slowly changed as they realized that they would soon die.
Dragging out the final slash to kill its victim, the Dryx leeched on the young Originals' desperation and lowered its rotten claw a moment later.
Its movements were too fast for the eyes of unawakened humans, and the claw was about to pierce into the first Original, who had already closed her eyes.
She was trembling, and dreaded the unbearable pain of being stabbed by the razor-sharp claws of the Dryx… last but not least, she was afraid of death, she was not willing to die…
Yet, oddly enough, even after ten seconds had passed the young female Original was not able to feel any pain.
Feeling that something was odd she opened her eyes slowly.
Her knees were wobbly and her whole body was shaking yet she could not muster the courage to even move a single inch.
However, upon seeing the corpse of the Dryx, who had just raised its claw to attack her a moment before, the young Original stopped trembling for a moment.
Utter confusion swept through her entire body and she was unable to understand what was going on.
Blinking her eyes slowly, she took a second to realize that she was still alive and that there were two gaping holes in the Dryx's chest. Her eyes then fell on the young Original, who was currently fighting with three Dryx simultaneously.
The young man's spear was dancing through the air, puncturing the Dryx one after another.
Dark red, almost black blood trickled down the wounds of the Dryxs. But instead of slowing down, or acting as if they had been injured, the Dryxs merely laughed.
Their laughter sounded more like a pig's grunting that echoed through the large arena due to their high volume.
It had been a means to intimidate the young man but their trick fell flat on the face. Instead of retreating or growing nervous, the young man began to smile upon hearing their rumbling laughter, making them stop abruptly.
They stiffened and looked down at their chest, where they saw that a black needle had impaled them.
Their mana core broke in half as Nial had aimed perfectly at it, breaking it apart without any difficulties.
In a matter of seconds, he had defeated the fourth Dryx as well, ending their lives with ease.
He released his Mana Sense to keep observing the surrounding area. This allowed him to perceive that Bella and Mathias were currently protecting the other young Originals from getting eaten who were petrified as well.
"If you guys don't move, they'll kill you. Junades, the Soldiers, and everyone else will kill the stronger Dryx, so it is your job to kill the weaker ones! They have a high regeneration, and you will have to destroy both their heart and mana core to kill them for good.
Good luck!"
That being said, Nial jumped right into the fray of flying beasts. He and his friends focused on rescuing the Originals before leading them to start fighting.
Before this entire incident had begun, Nial hadn't been able to warn many Originals. However, it was advantageous that Nial had focused on warning the strongest Originals.
That was also why Jase, Yves, and the others had finally regained their senses. They had been observing Nial for quite some time, only to understand that the young and blind Original had somehow sensed that something big would happen.
He had warned them, and the others with good intentions, which was something the two prideful young men from exceptional backgrounds were grateful for.
There had not been a single reason for Nial to warn them about the dangerous situation that had just occurred, especially after the way they had treated him, but Nial had done so nonetheless.
Even the narrow-minded Yves, who had been humiliated by Nial when the blind young man had carried him to the camp gathering as he was unconscious and injured, couldn't help but feel somewhat thankful to Nial.
Wielding an emerald-colored dagger in each hand, Yves ended the life of a Dryx without hesitation.
After being humiliated by Nial, he became much stronger to take his revenge on the blind youth, who thought too highly of himself.
Yves had sworn to himself that he would put Nial Orin back to the place where he belonged; below him, kneeling and begging for mercy, and apologizing for his mistakes with tears in his lifeless eyes.
Recalling the humiliation, Yves threw Jumandit rootlings through the surroundings while activating both his Innate ability [Nature's Wrath] and [Plant Growth].
While he was slashing at the Dryx all around him, Yves was simultaneously focusing on restricting the other Dryx so as to help the Originals around him, whether they belonged to his group or not.
On the other hand, Jase was wreaking havoc in the midst of more than a dozen Dryx. He used his [Holy aura] Innate ability to restrict the Dryx from utilizing their entire combat prowess.
Similar to the way they stood no chance against Nial's dark energy, Dryxs were weak against the holiness of Jase's [Holy aura].
Jase gained a huge advantage owing to this, which was why it was possible for him to exhibit a much higher combat power than usual.
He had long since reached the 10th Origin rank and went all out, releasing all of his Innate abilities and his ability simultaneously.
The Dryx with a combat prowess equal to the Origin ranks were cut in half without receiving the opportunity to do anything against Jase's powerful slashes.
Other than Jase and Yves, many young Originals were slowly regaining their senses. Junades' [Bravery] ability played the biggest role in preventing a mass panic from occurring.
The mysterious death of five powerhouses, the emergence of the purple crystals, and the fact that the purple crystals had created the purple portal were more than enough for the young Originals to lose their cool.
Not even their rich experience gained by conquering dungeons could give them the confidence to accept and face today's event that was a first in the history of mankind.
That was why even the veteran Soldiers and some Instructors were not able to keep their calm. They were afraid about what was going to happen, fearing the future events that ought to happen sooner or later.
It was frightening, that was for sure. However, it was still a fact that one could only keep on living and overcome the most frightening situations as long as one kept working on becoming stronger.
The moment someone thought about giving up, they had already lost half the battle!
But as of this moment…nobody was thinking about giving up. Everyone might be shocked and found the scenario incomprehensible…but giving up? Fuck of!
Once even the Originals with the weakest will had finally been able to pull themselves out of the spell that had been cast on them, and their eyes, a burly young Original roared out.
"We didn't work our asses off, just to die here! Is this a fucking joke? Come here and let me whip your asses!"
