Odyssey of the Blind God Chapter 304 Suicidale Idea

Chapter 304 Suicidale Idea

"That is amazing!" Nial mumbled when he visualized the list of all the reported ability crystals in his mind. The Log of Ability crystals was much longer than he expected and the use of many abilities was clearly described.
There were many abilities, whose name and the monster that dropped the ability crystals were the only things mentioned but that was also very interesting in Nial's opinion.
He was hoping that his Odyssey seed would react when he looked through the information of the Log of abilities but that didn't happen.
Nial was a bit disappointed about that but it was not as if he expected a lot.
'I will have to touch the real deal to see whether or not the Odyssey seed will react to it. Though, I doubt that I will have an easy time finding the correct ability crystals,' Nial thought as he stretched his body.
He was currently on his way to the teleportation circle that would bring them to the Hall of teleportation. His parents had packed their stuff within minutes and left with him without another thought.
Kristine told them that Sabrina would probably join the Heaven's Gates branch in the new shelter after she returned. This was not for her family's sake but precisely because Sabrina was one of the most talented members of the Heaven's Gates.
She had to be nourished in the best possible way, and the easiest way to do so was precisely by staying near, or inside the Forest of Life.
"Well...it is amazing but are you sure that it's fine for you to share this with us?" Maline asked worriedly, thinking that Nial would get into trouble for copying and sharing the file about the Log of all ability crystals.
"Don't worry so much, mom," Nial tried to reassure her before reminding her about the treasures she had received, "You and dad have to use the potential increasing treasures once we return to our wooden hut, okay?"
Both Miles and Maline could only nod their heads in response. They were still overwhelmed with everything that had happened in the last 24 hours. Not only had they reunited with Nial after what felt like an eternity but they would also move to the place that was ruled by Elves.
Maline was overjoyed but her nature as someone, who was easily worried, overwhelmed her quickly. She thought about all kinds of possible things that could happen to them inside the Foret of Life while forgetting about the fact that she and Miles hadn't even been allowed to leave the Heaven's Gates organization on their own.
After a while, they reached the building where they could teleport to the Hall of teleportations. Nial paid the fee for the three of them and it was their turn a while later.
They appeared in the underground hall not long after. Both Miles and Maline were nauseous but they didn't puke yet. Only when the second teleportation was completed did they start puking.
It was impossible for the two adults to take a look around and to see the magnificent sight around them as they kept throwing up.
The mana-dense surrounding overwhelmed them as they had never felt pure mana in such high quantities. Several minutes passed before Maline regained control over her body. Miles felt just as miserable as his wife but he had stopped retching a minute before her.
Yet, just when he took in a deep breath of fresh air, he went down on all fours for another round.
"I think your stomachs are now empty...." Nial gave them a weak smile while both his ears and nose were covered in mana. Being able to hear and smell much more than anyone else was certainly not to his advantage right now, and the only advantage he had was that he didn't actually see what his parents had released.
Nial shuddered but he tended to his parents nonetheless. They threw the buckets with their vomit inside their spatial ring once they were certain that it was over before Nial was finally able to lead them to the Forest of Life.
Nial supported his parents a little bit because they were still overwhelmed and he quickly noticed that people were still looking at him. Both humans and elves were staring at him and his parents in interest while trying to figure out what was going on.
Everyone was curious but Nial didn't pay them any heed. He went straight to his wooden hut inside the Forest of Life.
"I'm missing a double bed for the two of you to sleep on but I can buy one real quick. If you need anything just tell me," Nial said when he realized that there was only his small bed in the wooden hut. There was not much furniture either and his wardrobe was more decoration than anything else.
His wardrobe was empty and so was everything else in the room. After all, Nial had everything he needed inside his spatial ring.
Maline took a look at the entire hut before she looked at Nial in suspicion. Not a single word escaped her mouth but Nial felt that she threw him a scrutinizing look.
He felt uneasy under her intense stare but it was not as if he could do anything against it.
A few minutes passed in which Miles and Maline got more comfortable with the surroundings as a bunch of people charged up the stairway to reach his wooden hut that was located high up one of the biggest trees.
"Nial!!! You're already back...help meeee!!" Mathias appeared in the doorframe, followed by Meryl, whose expression was bad.
Miranda rushed after Meryl while trying to calm the young Elf, but that was hardly possible.
"Mathias, you dumb piece of bread!! How can you still repeat the same mistake over and over again?! After an entire month, you're still making the same fucking mistake!! Don't you want to improve??!" Meryl screamed at the top of her lungs as she barged inside the wooden hut.
The sudden arrival of his friends and Miranda didn't surprise Nial at all. He had perceived them thanks to his range of perception already and knew that Mathias had sensed him as well.
All three of them seemed quite energetic, considering that it hadn't even been 48 hours since he had left the Forest of Life.
He returned much faster than he would have expected and that was mostly because of the fact that he had been a bit overbearing.
Now that he thought about it, Nial felt that it might not have been the best idea to confront the Heaven's Gates organization. However, he was also fully aware that he couldn't have waited even a minute longer to reunite with his parents and his sister.
The changes in his sister were still a bit weird and Nial knew that he had to pay it more attention but other than that, Nial was happy.
Even Meryl's shouting was something that caused Nial to smile.
"Niall....helpp..." Mathias let out a shriek when he appeared behind his best friend to seek asylum. Nial's parents smiled as they looked at the situation in front of them.
They understood that Nial hadn't been alone in the two years they had been away from him. Their little boy had grown up and he was not as antisocial as he had been when they were forcefully separated.
When Miranda saw Nial's parents, her eyes gleamed lightly. She took a closer look at the wooden hut but didn't see Nial's sister. This wiped away Miranda's smile because she had expected the worst.
However, Nial was smiling, which meant that everything had to be fine. Miranda approached Nial's parents, allowing the youngsters to play around a bit.
"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Orin, my name is Miranda, the Witch of the South. I'm glad to finally be able to meet you two. Nial has told me a lot about you," Miranda smiled gently at Maline and Miles, who were stupefied that Nial's master took note of their existence. They smiled in return and introduced themselves.
In the following minutes, the three adults began to chat with each other. Their discussion was mostly about Nial and his parents asking Miranda about their son and how he would usually behave with others around him.
Maline and Miles had seen various sides of Nial's personality since they had reunited with him and they wanted to know what he was usually like.
Meanwhile, Nial was trying his best to protect Mathias from Meryl. The young Elf was oddly enraged that Mathias was still not able to engrave a 100% perfection grade [Sharpness] runic constellation.
Because her talent was high, she never really ran into a lot of issues with fixing her bad habits, not when it came to Basic runic constellations, at least.
Not everyone was as talented as she was and Mathias had just begun to properly learn under a real teacher. Nial could understand where Mathias was coming from and was just as frustrated as Meryl about his bad habit.
Several minutes passed before Meryl had calmed a bit. With Nial in front of Mathias, it was near-impossible for her to get him in her grasp. The timing was simply not good.
"You're lucky. If not for Nial, I would use my fists to punch some sense into you!" She screamed out, while Nial lifted his eyebrow in return.
'What a vicious woman...' He thought when everything seemed to be over.
Mathias breathed in relief after he realized that Meryl stepped back and for the first time, he noticed Nial's parents were standing next to Miranda.
"Wait, you actually brought your parents over? Maybe I should force my father to close down his shop in Katu, and to open one near the Forest of Life!?" Mathias exclaimed all of a sudden as he realized that he had not even messaged his father during the last few months.
"You want him to open a shop that sells Cursed Crystals near the Forest of Life...near the Elves? If you don't hate your father, don't tell him to open such a shop here..." Nial was appalled but he tried his best not to blame Mathias for nearly proposing his father do something that would certainly kill him.
"Your father has such a vile shop?! No wonder I have a hard time taking a liking to you! Everyone who has business with Cursed Crystals is evil!" Meryl suddenly shouted, baffling everyone in the room.
"You...don't have to cause him so much emotional damage, Meryl..." Nial said in a lecturing tone as he sensed Mathias clench his fists. He could already imagine that his friend would start crying soon.
"Furthermore, what you're talking about is nonsense. I don't see the connection between his father's business to how much you like Mathias. I literally bound a Curse to my mana core, and Elves still like me...I guess!" Nial declared, only to realize that he made another big mistake.
'Fuck, I forgot that they're still here...' He could only grumble as he forced a smile on his face when his head turned in the direction of his parents.
"You...did what?" Maline asked in an eerily silent voice.
'How the hell can I be so dumb? I made two big mistakes in such a short time...well, maybe they'll forget asking why Crevian needs me...' Nial could only hope for the best as he cleared his throat.
"Mom...dad...let me explain!...I...well....it's just a curse that enhances my senses in exchange for taking my blindness...this is nothing serious...after all I am blind either way, right?" Nial tried to find excuses to justify his actions but both Maline and Miles stared down at Nial as if they were ready to whoop his ass.
Meryl turned quiet all of a sudden. She had just realized that Nial had guests and looked at them in confusion.
"Are you sure that they're your parents? Your hair is so different and your talent is so much higher than theirs...this is weird..." Meryl could only ask as she stared at Nial's parents, who looked so different to Nial.
They flinched upon hearing Meryl's question and looked at each other uncomfortably.
"Eh..." Nial struggled to find the right words before he added, "...my sis looks more like my parents, she inherited their best genes in terms of looks, while I only got their personality!"
Yet, when both Maline and Miles heard this, they simultaneously exclaimed.
"None of us is as reckless as you're!!"
"Son, your personality is nothing like mine!"
