Odyssey of the Blind God Chapter 675 My Home

Chapter 675 My Home

Because he never expected to meet anyone from the Creatoran race, let alone his actual parents, Nial ended up living a rather ordinary life.
As a newborn baby, there was not much for him to do, either way. He had lost all of his power and had great problems moving as well. Even crawling took an eternity to learn.
He couldn't speak either. It was actually already quite surprising that he could understand the language of the beings in the Lacardian Empyrean Void.
Nial began to learn a few interesting facts about the Creatoran race over the course of the following weeks. He learned how to crawl and tried to find out whether he was caught in a dream, illusion, or something similar to a split dimension where a snippet of reality had been sealed to be witnessed by other beings.
The latter would mean that history would repeat itself soon and that the Creatoran would cease to exist. They would be slaughtered mindlessly and his eyes would be taken away. This was bound to happen according to history.
Nial didn't like it but he couldn't speak either to warn anyone. Was it the right thing to warn the Creatoran, in the first place? Wasn't he just supposed to be a witness to reality? Or was he supposed to do something else?
Was he supposed to do anything, in the first place?
What did the Advocate of the Pryard plan by sending him here? Did she hope that reality would twist and that she could kill him now instead of merely taking his eyes?
There were too many unanswered questions that flashed through Nial's mind, and none of them could be answered with the information Nial possessed.
He only knew that he was thrown back in time, that he could see with eyes that were much more unique than he first expected., and that he sustained injuries in this place.
Nial learned about the uniqueness of his eyes when he played with Rex, the Blaze Dragon, who had intentionally shrunk in size to fit into the palace. The Blaze Dragon didn't show anyone his miniature form except the royal family. To others, the Blaze Dragon was a hundred-meter-long dragon whose blazing flames burned even gods.
Either way, Nial got to know that his eyes had two different unique traits. One of the unique traits was the ability to actually see the mana in the surrounding area, rather than merely feeling it. He could see the mana inside other beings as well. That way, nobody could hide their cultivation rank from him, or when someone used mana.
Nial felt like he might as well be able to learn what exactly the mana inside others was used according to the way the mana was circulated and other interesting factors. Rex could only spit out flames as long as the blaze dragon's swirling mana was circulated to a specific gland at the higher regions of its head.
Something was also going on in the blaze dragon's lungs when he spits flames, which was something Nial would love to experiment with. However, he also knew that this reality would soon break and that he would be pulled back into reality. At least that was what Nial felt clear. He was pretty sure about this.
After all…After all…After all, he was supposed to…supposed to do what?
As time passed, Nial started to forget things about his life on the Origin, his family there, and the friends he made…all memories he made slowly ceased to exist in his mind. That was how it felt to Nial, who was way too calm for someone who knew that he was forgetting about the unimportant, as well as the important things that had happened to him.
He knew about the things that were happening to his memories, but he didn't really care too much about it. He was not too sure why he didn't care about the memories that dispersed in his mind, yet, that was the case.
Nial couldn't care less about the memories he lost as his interest in the unique power of the Creatoran increased gradually.
That was also where his eyes' second unique trait came into effect. Creatoran were known for summoning familiars to fight by their side. Upon summoning a familiar, their soul would be bound to the Summoner's soul. That way, Soulbound Monsters, also called Familiars, came into existence.
Being bound to one another, Familiar would increase the Summoner's strength with a specific percentage of their strength. The stronger the soul link, the higher the percentage. To put it simply, if a familiar possessed a combat power of 100 units, and its soul link was newly formed, the Summoner was likely to receive a share of 1 combat power unit from the familiar. Once their soul link grew stronger, the Summoner might even get up to 10 combat power units from the same familiar. Every familiar possessed a different soulbound strength share, but most of them revolved around a maximum of 15%.
Rex, the Blaze Dragon, was an exception, increasing the Empress' strength by 25%. The Empress was granted an amplification of strength equivalent to a quarter of the power wielded by the Blaze Dragon. Not only was that terrifying, but it was also such a high amplification in strength that the Empress' other familiars couldn't enhance her strength by much, otherwise, they may hurt the Empress.
After all, it was not helpful if too much pressure was put on the Empress' vessel, potentially cracking, or even worse, breaking her vessel.
Nial found out many things about Summoners, Familiars, their Soul Links, and so on.
However, what he was the most curious about was the special trait of his golden eye. His silver eye allowed him to see mana everywhere in his field of vision. Meanwhile, his golden eye saw the potential of monsters, and roughly how high their Soulbound strength share could reach.
'Maybe, I can make use of that, once I have to decide what monster to summon. I should only summon a monster after careful consideration!'
'Wait…why am I even thinking about summoning a monster. I have to return! I need to go back and….and do what?'
'What was I supposed to do? Isn't this my home, the place I ought to be?'
