Odyssey of the Blind God Chapter 271 Kaeldur

Chapter 271 Kaeldur

"My name is Nial Orin, you bitch!"
Nial was not sure why Silvian realized only now that he was not the God of Darkness he knew from the past. In his opinion, he was completely different, after all.
However, what Nial didn't realize was one particular fact; the influence of the dark energy he controlled was completely different from how Damian would usually be influenced by it!
Nial was still able to think rationally. He could think and act without an issue, controlling Kaeldur however he wanted to.
As for the way Damian was influenced whenever he controlled more dark energy than he could handle…he would go berserk.
His mind would blank out and he could no longer think rationally, he would turn into a mindless beast. Damian's wild instincts would allow him to exhibit far more power than one could fathom.
The destruction he would cause whenever he controlled more dark energy than he could handle was devastating. Entire planets ruled by powerful races were reduced to ruins the moment Damian unleashed the beast that was sealed within his memories.
However, all of this was Damian's racial trait to a certain extent. He had never been a human, to begin with. In fact, one could say that he was more of a beast than anything else.
But that was also what allowed him to survive and overcome everything that had happened to him.
Nial was a special case, and his reaction to the highly influential and dangerous dark energy was different…it was unique.
The dark energy didn't control him. He didn't lose his reasoning and could still react to the events that occurred around him.
And that was still the case after Nial summoned Kaeldur, thereby releasing the Darkness Essence within his body.
Damian would have never been able to survive the after-effects of summoning Kaeldur at the 1st Mirae rank. Even with all the knowledge of Kaeldur's power, and while being at the Prometheus rank, it would have been suicidal for Damian to summon Kaeldur. He would have lost his reasoning and been consumed with the mad desire to destroy everything.
"Should I just kill you, or do you want me to crush your soul as well? I wonder how your Cursed Godly body would react if a big part of your soul were to be destroyed," Nial's voice was laced with anger that bounced off the entire cavern all of a sudden.
He spoke quietly, but every single word reached Silvian's ears. Involuntarily, his body began to tremble as he looked ahead at Kaeldur's grimace that was less than 20 centimeters ahead of him.
"I wonder if you will become a cripple," Nial mumbled when he thought of something.
"Would you even remember something that happened on Jundra? Imagine you don't remember anything and your main body returned with another Incarnation. Wouldn't that be funny?" Nial spoke in a manner that didn't allow anyone to laugh. His voice was eerily cold and void of any emotions.
He lifted his free hand and lightly caressed Silvian's wrinkled face.
"Isn't it funny? You used this place to resurrect your powers, to regain your strength, to fight and kill me. However, the tides have turned, and your actions even allowed me to regain some of this old geezer's powers.
You will be killed by a blind youth, who is barely 19 years old. My origin awoke not too long ago, and I'm barely at the 1st Mirae rank," Nial began to smile craftily which was replicated on Kaeldur's face.
The claws that had pierced into Silvian's chest began to tremble, and it looked like tiny tidal waves of darkness flooded in Silvian's direction.
Nial filled Silvian's body with his dark energy, slowly killing him from the inside. Kaeldur's claws had a unique effect, and Nial was just experimenting with them.
"I wonder if I can devour your Cursed Divine energy," Nial spoke in a light voice when he pierced Kaeldur's claws deeper into Silvian's chest.
It was possible for him to absorb the mana of the beings he pierced with Kaeldur. However, Nial didn't do so with Silvian's death attributed mana. It would only harm Nial's body if he did so.
But the Cursed Divine energy that had forcefully been put to a halt was a different matter altogether.
"You…monster!!" Silvian screamed at the top of his lungs, only to feel as if his lips had been sealed the moment Kaeldur moved his tiny claws.
"Shhh," Nial quietly said with a devilish smile as he lifted his index finger in front of his mouth.
"I have no idea what exactly you planned with the Empresses' manifested Divinity fragment, or the Dryx you summoned. I don't care about that actually either.
With my current power, I could take everything I need, but it looks like I won't be able to control it for long anymore. My body is still too weak," Nial shared with an air of indifference, ignoring the confused and horrified expression on Silvian's face.
'Why the hell is he telling me that now?! Are you trying to make me suffer longer???' Silvian thought, trying to scream at Nial. However, that was impossible because he couldn't speak anymore. His mouth was covered with dark energy, just like the rest of his body.
Only Silvian's eye had yet to be devoured by his dark energy.
"You might wonder, why am I telling you this, right? To be honest, there is no special reason. Talking with you about the past is not really helpful either because I don't remember every single thing about Damian's life. It was a mess but that is something you know best, don't you?" Nial kept smiling while speaking.
He walked through the dark miasma that filled the entire cave by now. Not a tiny speck of light could be perceived.
There was only darkness. However, Nial felt great. Having unparalleled powers was oddly addictive and Nial would love to retain the power.
Unfortunately, the power he felt, including Kaeldur's might and the dark energy around him would kill him if he were to use them repetitively with the strength he currently had.
Nial was not even able to summon them again the moment he would release them. It was too straining and the energy required was not something even Prometheus Originals could possess.
"You schemed too much, and that's why you die," Nial said, ending the 'conversation' with Silvian.
Dark energy began to cover Silvian's entire body just a moment later. At the same time, a flood of dark energy entered Silvian's body. It engulfed the tiny trace of Cursed Divine energy that began to tremble violently when Nial's dark energy touched it.
His dark energy swept through every nook and cranny of Silvian's body, preventing anything from moving the slightest bit.
Silvian's body grew weaker and weaker. He couldn't breathe, it was impossible to circulate mana through his body to keep him alive. Even the blood in his veins couldn't move the slightest bit anymore.
Silvian was at Nial's mercy, and he knew that he would die the moment Nial made his killing move.
'Is that really how I die?' He wondered. Silvian didn't accept, but even while trying to use the trace of Cursed Divine energy within his body, the only thing he achieved was to destroy some of Nial's dark energy.
However, for every bit of dark energy Nial destroyed, thrice the amount of dark energy flooded Silvian's body.
The entire cave was filled with Nial's dark energy, his dark miasma, and the energy devouring crystals.
'Is it unwilling to be subdued to me?' Nial thought with a smile on his face. His dark energy was obliterated the moment it came close to the Cursed Divine energy.
This reaction caused Nial's smile to widen the less willing the Cursed Divine energy was. The Odyssey seed was trembling in anticipation.
The thought of gaining a trace of Cursed Divine energy while being at the 1st Mirae rank was something that should have never been possible. However, now the opportunity had unveiled itself in front of the Odyssey seed and it had to get it by all means even if all the dark energy in Nial's possession were to be destroyed.
Precisely controlling the dark energy, he destroyed the energy devouring crystals one after another. The mana that was released nourished his dark energy. It flooded straight to him and was destroyed in an attempt to tame the Cursed Divine energy that wreaked havoc.
Silvian lost control over the Cursed Divine energy while his mind and body began to feel heavier. He was almost unable to perceive anything. But one thing he could tell for sure; he was actually dying, and the trace Cursed Divine energy that ought to be his soul's savior had abandoned him.
It destroyed his body from the inside more than Nial's dark energy could.
"Let's finish this for good," Nial suddenly said, destroying every single energy devouring crystal inside the cave.
The entire cave began to tremble. It began to collapse, and only the last dark energy seemed to prevent the cave from falling on Nial, burying him underground.
However, it was also the dark energy that began to expand rapidly, putting enormous pressure on the cavern walls, the ceiling, and the ground below.
It looked like the entire cave was growing in size as a shocking amount of mana was released at once. It was devoured by the dark energy which used the mana to produce more and more dark energy.
Nial used this dark energy to flood Silvian's body with it. He targeted the Cursed Divine energy with it, which destroyed Nial's dark energy.
At first, it looked like Nial's actions were wasted. But the more time passed, the weaker the resistance of the trace of Cursed Divine energy became. Within an hour, Nial's dark energy engulfed the trace of Cursed Divine energy.
Merely three hours later, Nial gained a bit of control over the Cursed Divine energy. It seemed to have sentience and abandoned Silvian, whose body was nothing more than a shell.
There was not the slightest trace of life left behind within Silvian and he slumped to the ground.
Nonetheless, Nial hadn't been expelled from the Dimension rift amulet, and the reason for this was quite simple.
Silvian was dead, but his soul had yet to be freed from his body.
Kaeldur was tightly holding onto Silvian's soul, preventing him from returning to the main body. The God of Saints and Devils had used a big portion of his soul to incarnate on Jundra. He had even been forced to use his Divinity to incarnate on the planet that had yet to awaken its mana.
Thus, he had numerous safety measurements that were supposed to protect his soul from being injured. Yet, all of these safety measures had been destroyed, and the part of the Soul belonging to the God of Saints and Devils in Nial's hand was already showing signs of cracking.
Silvian's future was in Nial's hand and he could destroy it whenever he wanted to.
This was another function of Kaeldur, one that required a tremendous amount of dark energy to be initiated and maintained.
Kaeldur was able to grasp the anchor of life of all kinds of living beings as long as the conditions were met!
Nial had a faint smile on his lips as he controlled the Cursed Divinity energy within the remains of Silvian's body. He didn't care about the God of Saints and Devils anymore.
Silvian received what he deserved. Everything he did in the past had come back to him, just like a boomerang. Life was unpredictable, but there were certain events one could predict beforehand to an extent.
The God of Saints and Devils wanted too much. He desired everything, and acted rashly, without showing any mercy.
Silvian was narrow-minded and incorrigible. His life was bound to end in a gruesome manner, whether it was today or far ahead in the future.
Nial may only have a part of Silvian's main soul, but that did not matter. The insignificance of Nial's next action mattered most.
Today's event was more than enough to show that insatiable greed would only backfire. Today was the day when the first God of Jundra was defeated.
However, whether he would return or not was something only the future could tell.
