Odyssey of the Blind God Chapter 605 Crystal

Chapter 605 Crystal

Nial was giving the Demihumans' healers enough time and space to check on their unconscious people.
The healers arrived in front of him not long after he had stepped back. Nial was still eyed vigilantly but the healers' priority was to tend to the wounds of their brethren. With that in mind, he was mostly ignored after it was clear that he didn't intend to attack anymore.
Of course, only the healers began to ignore him, not the remaining hundreds of Demihumans that had gone out of the city to fight against the infiltrator or check up on the condition of their brethren.
Nial remained silent while the Demihumans all around him started to gossip with each other. He couldn't understand what they were saying but Nial was trying to listen to the words they said, nonetheless. He analyzed their words in an attempt to learn their language as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, it was not that easy to learn a new language, even if his brain could process most things rather easily at his cultivation rank. Being at the Mythician rank helped him quite a lot when it came to learning new things and conducting something, but it didn't mean that a new language was learned after listening to the language for a few minutes.
That didn't really make any sense.
It became even more difficult to study the unknown language of the Demihumans when a Lizard Demihuman with a height of more than 2.5 meters began to shout at him loudly.
He was amongst the strongest in the batch of Demihumans that had appeared and Nial presumed him to be at the Trixor Rank. Nial was not too sure how strong a Trixor Original was, but considering that the combat prowess of the Mythician Demihumans hadn't been too high, Nial began to hope that the Trixor Demihuman would attack him.
Defeating the Trixor Demihuman without killing him would inevitably mean that he was strong enough to obliterate everyone around him but that he didn't intend to do so.
However, even before Nial could finish his thoughts, a much smaller and older Demihuman emerged behind the tall Lizard Demihuman. It was a Mouse Demihuman the height of a Dwarf, walking around with a cane. Despite looking frail and extremely weak in his visualization, Nial knew that the old Demihuman was even stronger than the Lizard Demihuman. The old mouse demihuman had appeared out of nowhere and he calmly walked toward the unconscious Mythician Demihumans whom Nial had defeated.
The old Demihuman took a proper look at the unconscious Demihumans before he stepped closer to Nial.
"Kiralam, sheria'knasa melviandro mel'ratila," The old Demihumans said calmly. Nial tilted his head and began to scratch the back of his head in confusion.
"I am sorry, but I cannot understand your language…" He mumbled in response. The old Demihuman stopped in his tracks and he looked at Nial, analyzing his facial expression where one could clearly see his frustration. He nodded his head, accessed his storage device, and retrieved a small crystal which he threw toward Nial.
? Nial caught it easily and he perceived it to the finest detail with his range of perception, only to end up not knowing what exactly the crystal could do. The old Demihumans released his mana outside his body and formed a replication of the crystal while slowly inserting his mana inside the replication.
"Ah," Nial blurted out, inserting his dark energy inside the crystal. The old Demihuman was a little astonished about what seemed to happen to the crystal with his dark energy inserted. It turned black instead of showing signs of turning azure. The change in the crystal's color was certainly not normal and it was something that could hardly be explained by normal means.
However, the crystal's color was not important as long as it was able to function properly.
"Mekas Kiluam?" The old Demihuman asked and Nial was just about to say that he couldn't understand the old Demihuman when he froze in his tracks.
"Did you just ask me if I can understand you now?" Nial asked, still holding onto the crystal.
"Yes, that's exactly what I've asked. Looks like the translation crystal works even though your energy is foreign to us," The old Demihuman said calmly. Nial didn't understand the words when the old Demihuman said them but the translation entered his mind just a moment later.
"This crystal is indeed pretty useful," Nial nodded while trying to perceive the changes that occurred to the crystal after he injected his dark energy into it. But what he found out was not exactly to his liking. He didn't sense any changes, which meant that he had no idea how the crystal translated the words spoken by the old Demihuman.
On the same note, it seemed like the crystal translated the words he said as well, otherwise, the old Demihuman wouldn't have been able to understand him.
"Putting aside the usefulness of the translation crystal, what are you doing here? How did you pass through the defensive system of the Ingarn Stellar System? You were only detected by the radars when you approached Polax… and who the hell are you?" The Old Demihumans asked many questions but Nial didn't think that it was odd. In fact, it was rather normal for him to be asked all those questions.
However, Nial had to think about the best possible answer for a second or two. In the end, he figured that there was no perfect answer and that he could only say what he had to say.
"My name is Nial Orin, and for the last few decades, I was having difficulties escaping from an isolated stellar system. I used one of my creations to reinforce my spatial-type movement technique with which I can just through darkness and shadows. That way, I was probably able to pass through your stellar system's defensive system without getting caught," Nial started calmly, before thinking that it was better to add a few details.
He was pretty sure that he would be able to get his hands on a handful of useful information with those details, "While I was pursuing someone through a spatial portal created by a Spectran who lost control of his power as he was ejected from the Origin for the use of his Divinity, I and someone else ended up in the isolated stellar system. As for what I'm doing here, I am actually just trying to get back to the Origin and found this civilization that way."
There were quite a few things Nial left out but that was for everyone's best. It was not exactly helpful if he were to reveal everything that had happened to him in the last thirty years. He had already revealed quite a few details, possibly more than necessary.
Nonetheless, Nial's plan worked out and he received a bunch of pieces of information in return.
"Who are the Spectran you're talking about? And what's the Origin? Is that some sort of stellar system, or a planet? Though, I can roughly grasp what you mean when you say Divinity," The Old Demihuman said, "I presume that you were thrown to some place by accident and that you and this other person had quite a hard time coming here."
It looked almost as if the Old Demihuman believed every single word said by Nial. That was pretty good, even if it was a little unexpected. However, Nial wouldn't complain about something like that. He rather embraced the trust he received.
"By the way, what happened to the other person?"
