Odyssey of the Blind God Chapter 602 Weapon

Chapter 602 Weapon

Nial continued to twist his body and move rapidly around while making specific movements to evade every single incoming attack. The movements he issued made it seem as if he was a dancing ballerina. It looked quite intricate from the outside, but it also enraged the Demihumans.
That was a good sign, Nial thought with certainty, happy that the Demihumans were getting a little bit angry as well. He couldn't be the only one feeling extremely uncomfortable in the given situation. If he was the only one uncomfortable one may actually say that Nial was getting bullied. Of course, Nial didn't like the feeling of thinking of himself as the bullied. If someone had to be the bully and someone else had to be bullied, Nial would rather choose to be the bad guy!
He was not sure how much time had passed since the huge box had been thrown out to catch him and the Demihumans in a unique space that seemed to follow other laws. Nial had merely been able to knock out a bunch of Demihumans, not enough to be noteworthy. It was quite a hassle if he were to be honest with himself.
Never had he been so slow in defeating his opponents. It was ridiculous, no matter how rusty Nial had become after cultivation and making his research for a total of close to thirty years. His Grasp of Eclipse movement technique was what he was best at, but he couldn't even think of using it. The same applied to the dark energy that didn't heed his commands, at all.
Chaos was the power he could control the least, and it didn't exactly help that he could reinforce the Power of Chaos with the crimson moonlight. It created a bunch of complications, no matter how effective the result was.
While Nial's mind was rattling, questioning how he should approach the given situation in order to come out victorious, without sustaining a multitude of severe injuries at best.
That was what he had in mind, but reality looked a little different. Nial had a hard time knocking out one person after another. How was he supposed to pay enough attention to evade several attacks, including mana-based long-distance attacks, at the same time?
Without the subtle movements he issued with every single step he took, Nial would have been dead by now. That was something he was certain about.
In fact, he didn't recall a time when he had to move like this. It was a first, and Nial didn't really feel like acting that way ever again. He couldn't even access his spatial rings because his dark energy usage was restricted. He could hardly take a deep breath before more than five new attacks were thrown at him once again.
Nial knocked out the Demihuman who had sliced the back of his hand with his knee. His hand instinctively reached out for the longsword which he got hold of just a moment later.
The moment his fingers coiled around the handle of the longsword, he injected a tremendous amount of dark energy inside them. Nial didn't want to give up the opportunity he was given. It was necessary for him to us the longsword in order to be able to use his dark energy. That was, if the longsword was able to handle the pressure of his dark energy, or if it was only constructed to wield bits of mana.
Nial quickly noticed that more than three-quarters of the inserted dark energy were forcefully ejected. No matter how much dark energy Nial inserted into the blade, three-quarters always dispersed.
That was unexpected but it also meant that Nial could, basically, insert his entire dark energy into the blade. Only a quarter of the inserted dark energy would remain but it was not as if Nial was able to use his dark energy differently right now, to begin with.
'These weapons are different than mine,' Nial quickly understood as he perceived the weapon in its entirety. Since he was able to spread his dark energy through the blade, he could visualize it in a crystal clear manner.
It was a double-edged longsword with a pointed tip. At first, Nial was pretty sure that the weapon was nothing special and that certain configurations of the huge box must have been the reason for being able to inject mana and other energies inside weapons.
However, Nial quickly noticed that this guess was not correct. He understood that the hieroglyphic runes engraved on the weapon's blade were the reason for being partially excluded from the influence of the huge box's highly potent effect. The hieroglyphic runes were not able to block off the influence of the box but it was possible to retain a quarter of the energy inserted into the objects that had been engraved with the hieroglyphic runes.
That was pretty interesting since it allowed the Demihumans to gain a humongous advantage. Being the only combatants with the capability to wield energy while their opponents were restricted drastically was certainly an advantage for them. Of course, this advantage only remained as long as they were able to refrain their opponents from finding out the truth.
To their misfortune, Nial found out the secret quite quickly. He was in possession of much more energy than anyone else as well. Using a tremendous amount of dar energy to insert it inside the blade, it turned black from the inside out. Mantled and inserting crimson chaos to further enhance the blade, Nial quickly realized that the materials of the weapons were pretty interesting as well.
But rather than paying attention to something that he could research later as well, Nial sliced the longsword through the air in front of him. He collided with a bunch of weapons that were about to reach him, desiring to pierce his skin and dig deep into his flesh, ending his life once and for all.
The brute force of his slash and the sheer power behind the injected energy and chaos within and around the blade was more than enough to push the attackers away. They were forced to retreat, otherwise, they would have sustained various injuries.
Nial didn't intend to kill his opponents which was also why he used the mantle of crimson chaos to dull the edges of the weapon and create a second impact by releasing bursts of crimson chaos whenever his sword impacted.
He began his counterattack, slashing, slicing, and thrusting the blade in the direction he heard heavy breathing, the sound of the weapon handles rubbing in the Demihumans hands and more subtle noises that indicated the presence of opponents in his surrounding area.
His senses seemed to be growing even more sensible after he got his hands on the longsword. That was not actually the case, and it was just that Nial was finally able to focus on counterattacking and his senses rather than evading attacks all the time. It was pretty interesting how his senses were affected by virtually anything that was going on.
Nial was ready to rumble and he did so by using his dulled weapon to beat the shit out of a bunch of Mythician Demuhumans, who had attacked him without even trying to converse with him.
Of course, he was a foreign existence that had appeared in front of their home, all of a sudden, at that, but there were still more ways to react.
That was also why Nial didn't feel bad for beating the shit out of the Demihumans he faced.
A small lecture was what they deserved!
