Odyssey of the Blind God Chapter 575 Approaching New Era

Chapter 575 Approaching New Era

As the storm of elemental shards continued to spread all over the plateau region's northern part, a heavy downpour of elemental spears began.
Nial visualized the display of different types of mana as they slowly morphed into drop-sized spears that rained down on the ground where hell turned reality.
Everyone's eyes were subconsciously drawn to the dazzling display in the sky and they watched how hell descended onto the battlefield. Millions of dungeon beasts were pierced by the Elemental spears that unleashed their true terror the moment they collided with other sources of mana. They exploded and released their entire power within the body of their designated target.
No dungeon beast was spared from the onslaught of elemental spears that kept on materializing in the sky before they poured down onto the earth, accurately hitting their targets. Every single being in the proximity was killed within the following minutes before the last bits of mana were used up. No trace of mana was left behind and the few dungeon beasts that seemed to have escaped the attack succumbed to the sudden darkness needles that emerged out of nowhere.
"Can you control all Shadows at the same time and store them for a certain period, or do you have to materialize the Shadows every now and then?" Nial asked once all beasts in his range of perception had been killed. He smiled in satisfaction, knowing deep down that the first real practical experiment of the Forgotten Runic Cannon and the Broken Runic Rocket had been a great success.
In fact, the experiment had not only been a great success but it exceeded the threshold of expectations by far and large.
"I can store them…" Shadowmancer Dexter responded after a while before he expanded his range of control as far as possible. He pulled the Shadows of the deceased inside his body which expanded the more Shadows were stored inside him. Without Nial's supply of dark energy, he couldn't materialize a thousand Shadow Monsters with every interval of his special trait, but that was not an issue since he could summon a bit more than two hundred with every interval using his own energy.
However, instead of focusing on materializing the Shadow Monsters, Shadowmancer Dexter observed Nial for a while.
He sensed that Nial's entire body was overflowing with dark energy once again. All of a sudden, Nial's entire energy seemed to disappear at once while his presence changed.
It felt like he was able to sense everything and everyone, and as if he was able to unveil the deepest secrets about anyone as long as he desired to find them out.
Yet, instead of doing something like that, Nial ended up expanding his range of perception to the limits with his Mana Sense. This devoured a tremendous amount of dark energy, including the rest of his stored energy that was used up at once as he engulfed every single lifeless corpse in his range of perception to store them inside his spatial ring.
That way, Nial ended up storing every single dungeon beast corpse in his spatial ring, clearing up the battlefield at once.
Dexter looked at this situation with slight surprise before he diverted his focus back to Nial.
"Are you really just at the Keltia rank?" He wondered for a moment, earning an amused smile from Nial.
"Of course. I only created a single Darkness Pillar!" Nial responded, while roughly guessing what his newest summoned Devil had on his mind.
"...kay."
While Nial smiled lightly, Shadowmancer Dexter returned his focus back to materializing Shadow Monsters. It would take a while before Millions of Shadows would find their way back to life, after all, he couldn't summon them all at once. Dexter had yet to unseal the powers to do so, though he would eventually get back to the peak of his prowess.
As for the male and female Originals standing on top of the Orion shelter's walls, they couldn't help but stare at the aftermath of the battle with complicated expressions.
"...That's not funny…" Royal Princess Evalyne mumbled mostly to herself as she looked at the battlefield. Her expression continued to change, from confusion to worry, only for her to find some relief at the sight of the Greater Forest Dragon youngling who was flying all over the Orion Shelter.
The Dragon youngling didn't seem to be too affected by the scene she had witnessed, but that couldn't be said about the others.
Their minds were blank as they recollected the memories of the things that had just happened. It was quite frightening to have witnessed it, and the sensation got even worse the more they thought about it.
Everything felt like a dream, a Nightmare that should be forgotten and never reappear in their minds.
The Elves, Dracos, and Shelturion looked at each other and the people who were partially responsible for the manufacturing of the Forgotten Tier-3 Runic Cannon and the Broken Tier-3 Runic Rocket, and what they saw was a clear reflection of their own feelings.
Nobody could smile at the sight of the destruction and fatalities caused by the combination of the Forgotten Runic Cannon and the Broken Runic Rocket because it showed one thing for sure; things were about to change drastically in the future, fearing it would be for the worst.
":..Damn…if that would have been a fire-based rocket, launched at the Forest of Life…the entire Forest of Life would have been decimated to ash…" One of the High Elves at the Mythician rank blurted out. He was glared at for his words but it was not as if anyone would counter him because everyone knew that they were true.
The Royal Princess had come to the Orion Shelter because the Greater Forest Dragon youngling wished to play with Ryu, but what she witnessed was something much much more terrifying.
"Let's not think about it…" Michael Ignis said at this moment. His relationship with the Elves had improved drastically after he had lived with them for a few years. It was only obvious but initially, there had been a few misunderstandings between the Draco race and the Elves. Those misunderstandings were mostly cleared by now, at least for Michael, and he even made a few Elven friends.
Thus, he couldn't help but agree with the Elves when he saw the destruction caused by a single rocket. The rocket was only at the third Tier, yet it was strong enough to kill millions of beasts. The beasts may only be at the Deux rank, but everyone knew deep down that the attack could have killed Keltia-ranked dungeon beasts as well.
"...I suddenly feel like we're about to dive into a new Era…" Michael added, just to be glared at as well, "...Just saying…"
The Royal Princess looked over to Michael Ignis who was standing next to his sister Ophelia, and she gave him a disgruntled look.
"What do you think about your creation, Miss Ignis?" Evalyne asked Ophelia, who smiled lightly as she stared back at the Princess.
"I can only say the same thing as my brother, Princess…things are going to change, though I am not sure if it will be for the better or worse." Ophelia said quickly and calmly before she gave the Forgotten Runic Cannon a slap.
"Either way, I want to see what will happen in the future!
