Odyssey of the Blind God Chapter 411 A Pest-Like Monster

Chapter 411 A Pest-Like Monster

Nial had seen the file of missions that nobody wanted to solve after he visualized the entire building, including the mission boards that showed some of the missions not many desired to complete. The rewards were not worth the effort, especially when it came to G-rank collecting missions.
The three G-rank missions Nial had chosen were all in one Origin-ranked dungeon, the same one at that.
Nial intended to increase his rank as an adventurer quickly enough to get his hands on some well-earning missions.
The female attendant finished his registration and he set off to the permanent Origin dungeon that not many entered.
The entire dungeon was without a source of light, which scared many Origin-ranked Originals. As for the higher-ranked, Originals, they wouldn't enter the dungeon if it was not necessary.
That was why Nial ended up inside it. He had the necessary means to conquer the dungeon and complete all missions rather quickly.
"Ryu, you can just kill the Goblins, while I will collect 15 Firal Flowers. Afterward, we'll collect 300 logs and leave. Let's work hard today!" Nial declared, feeling light-hearted. He was not too worried that anything could happen to Ryu, especially since the Gryphon could see in the darkness.
Nial sent out Ryu while he spread his range of perception and [Mana Sense] to envelop the whole dungeon.
He didn't desire to destroy the permanent dungeon, let alone devour it. Without uncontrollable rage surging through his entire being it was much easier for him to perceive the first Firal Flower and to imprint its mana fluctuations in his mind.
This made it easier for him to find more Firal Flowers when he sensed the same or extremely similar mana fluctuations.
As he rushed through the forest that was filled with darkness, Nial ended up with more than 100 Firal Flowers in fifteen minutes. Ryu had finished his conquest as well, leaving only the Boss monster behind.
It was precisely stated that the Hobgoblin should only be crippled and not killed. Ryu did exactly that, and Nial collected the remaining corpses, which the Gryphon had left behind.
Afterward, it was time to become expert lumberjacks with years of experience.
Ryu created blades of darkness using his affinity before he shot them out to cut down various trees.
At first, Nial wanted to use his dark energy to do the same, just a tad more efficiently when he realized that remnants of his energy would be attached to the area where the logs had been cut.
With that in mind, he changed his plan to create a crescent-shaped blade out of the Crimson Eclipse Moonlight power he had accumulated in the last few months.
It was not even necessary for him to use a lot of his power to harvest the trees, and Nial finished chopping off everything in less than twenty minutes. 300 logs were secured inside his spatial ring and Nial returned from the dungeon.
He was just on his way back to alliance city, which he had left to reach the dungeon portal of his mission when he realized why exactly there had been a Goblin mission at the Guild hall.
"You guys build your settlement outside, it was not a bad decision to do it underground to prevent most powerful Originals from perceiving you guys," Nial acknowledged before his expression changed quickly, "unfortunately, you guys met me…so you'll die!"
With that declaration completed, Nial shot in a specific direction. Small, well-hidden holes could be found at the spot he halted his tracks and a bunch of boxing gloves appeared in Nial's hand.
He put them on, activated their runic constellations and smashed his fist on the ground without hesitation.
The ground in a radius of more than ten meters began to tremble lightly, but Nial didn't move a single inch. On the contrary, he inserted some of his Essence of Darkness inside the gloves to increase the potency of their runic constellations in order to completely break the few small tunnels that were located close to each other.
The tunnel collapsed and a chain reaction was initiated, breaking all the support pillars that had held up the underground settlement.
There were no powerful Goblins underground and one wouldn't usually care about them until they were to come to the surface and wreak havoc after reaching certain unfathomable numbers or evolving to a degree where they would actually become dangerous.
However, Nial was bothered about them, since he knew how terrifying Goblins could become if they were given enough time to adapt and overcome their troubles.
The Goblin Wolfriders they had encountered on the unnamed island during the first trial of the Teradan military camp were already quite dangerous but his experiences with those Goblins were not his reason for attacking the underground basement.
Rather, they were the distinct memories that the God of Darkness had given him pertaining to various races and monsters. Goblins may seem simple due to their lustfulness and their desire to copulate with all kinds of races. This turned their image into the monsters that they were just weak and disgusting monsters with uncontrollable carnal desire and no intelligence, but that was not everything.
As long as they evolved, which was something they could do rather easily under certain circumstances, Goblins could turn into the biggest nightmare of any other race.
The God of Darkness had faced a Goblin God and trillions of his descendants, and saying that it was difficult to defeat them was definitely an understatement.
The memories of the God of Darkness were still apparent in his mind and it was for everyone's good if he prevented the plague called Goblins from establishing a foothold on Jundra.
When the tunnels collapsed and the pillars that held the underground settlement crumbled, stones and soil collapsed on the small huts the Goblins had built with all their dedication and might. But that was their smallest problem because Nial moved to all other locations where tiny and well-hidden holes were located. He destroyed them in a similar manner, blocking all possible escape routes for the Goblins.
Nial could start digging a hole by now and eliminate the Goblins with his brute force, but he didn't do so. He was extremely calm as he turned back to Ryu, who had begun to focus on his joy and fun rather than the things Nial was doing.
"We can go back, buddy!" Nial declared when he finished everything, leaving hundreds, or possibly even thousands of Goblins in the underground settlement where they would slowly but steadily suffocate! That was exactly what Nial had planned to do when he destroyed all holes that reached the surface, cutting off their supply of oxygen, rather than just trapping them there.
Trapping them was not enough to obliterate them, after all!
Ryu chirped out in joy and he created a small pair of darkness wings on his back before he jumped in the air. He was hovering in the air for a few seconds before he slowly descended due to the heavy gravitational force.
"You're learning pretty fast. If you continue to work hard, it will take only a few months until you can fly through the air just like your brethren…probably even better!" Nial praised Ryu when caressing the Gryphon's plumage.
Afterward, he climbed on his back, they rushed back to the Alliance City and the Guild hall.
Nial handed the female receptionist the spare spatial ring which he had prepared for similar situations as the one in front of him.
He could either retrieve all corpses, wooden logs, and Firal Flowers from his spatial ring and throw them right in the female receptionist's face, or hand her a second spatial ring that was not locked.
The latter was evidently easier and less inappropriate, which was why Nial had made the purchase.
"Because you provided everything in a very short time span, more than necessary at that, you don't have to complete two more missions to advance in the ranks. Your rank has been upgraded to a rank Adventurer! Congratulations! It won't be necessary for you to undergo an advancement test yet either," The female receptionist didn't seem impressed that he had taken only an hour to finish three missions, but Nial just smiled at her.
It was not as if he had expected anyone to look at him with a shocked expression just because he completed three G-rank missions in an hour.
"That's great. How many F-rank missions do I have to finish to advance to rank E?" Nial asked calmly, not impressed by his swift progress while ranking up so quickly either.
He was calm, composed, and ready to spend only a few days to reach C-rank or whatever rank he would have to reach to face Deux-ranked monsters.
Only by then would he start earning contributions points, and get to know just how powerful he had become.
"After a total of ten F-rank missions have been completed we will take a look at your score and determine if you are eligible to become an E-rank Adventurer or not!" The receptionist said and Nial thought about it for a while before he opened the mission catalog's holographic screen with the smallest font and zoomed it to its biggest size.
Nial scrolled through everything rapidly and he only stopped when he reached the bottom. Afterward, he thought of something, namely a total of 10 F-rank missions, and smiled innocently at the receptionist.
"I will take these missions!" He said and the female Alcam couldn't help but frown as she accepted his request.
'Does he have some sort of super brain? How could he read all missions and pick those who belong together so perfectly?' She wondered as she saw Nial walk away, leaving behind only a short comment that caused the Alcam's legs to nearly give in.
"I will come back in a few hours!"
