Odyssey of the Blind God

Chapter 429 Laying Out The Foundation



This was quite interesting, especially since it looked like quite a few battlezones had been created all around the Forest of Life.

When Nial heard about that for the first time, he had been quite a bit worried. However, his father had told him that it was not necessary for him to hastily return all of a sudden. Miles asked him to just focus on whatever he was currently doing.

Nial did as asked and focused on his runic armaments but the thought of the wellbeing of his father worried him quite a bit.

He hadn\'t expected thousands of races to emerge on Jundra. The Origin was a place that easily accepted world bridges and all kinds of dungeon portals.

This was something Nial had gotten to know quite well, especially when it came to dungeon portals.

In all the missions he solved using his Monster army, the beasts had conquered thousands of dungeon portals by now. He was not sure how many Origin crystals they had collected for him but each of the secondary leaders of each Beast Unit had one or more storage rings.

Nial had prepared everything to make sure that they would be able to collect as many resources as possible.

His investments were more than worth it because they were basically making him rich even without him doing much. The only thing he had to do was use [Dominion] once a day to make sure that his Monster Army consisted of tens of thousand of dungeon beasts that would heed his commands.

Sometimes there were dungeon beasts with anomalies in his group or mutating beasts that became immune to the alteration of their mind, but that was not something Nial was truly affected with.

He could just kill these mutating beasts, or order his dungeon beasts to eradicate the beasts that won\'t listen to him anymore.

In the end, Nial was prepared to get rid of his entire Monster army, to begin with. They were useless to him after a certain period because he would have to return to Alliance city at one point and the dungeon beasts wouldn\'t be controlled by him anymore afterward.

Thus, by controlling many Prometheus dungeon beasts right now, he was basically preparing the beasts he would soon order to kill each other.

"What types of runic armaments do you want to create…Sir?" The old blacksmith asked with a trace of fear in his eyes.

He knew that Nial could kill him at any time and there was nothing he could do against it. If something were to happen to him, he would inevitably end up dead and nobody would blame Nial for it.

That was the old blacksmith\'s biggest worry even though it didn\'t look like Nial would do anything to him. Nial was planning something big but the blacksmith had no idea what exactly it was.

"What are the most popular Peak Tier-2 runic armaments?" Nial asked in return, not exactly sure about the correct answer.

He had a few runic armaments in his mind, especially those he could mass produce but he wanted to gain as much as he could in the shortest possible time.

​ With that in mind, he decided to enquire with the blacksmith.

"Swords are always high in demand because there are many Swordsmanship techniques, but all types of melee-combat armaments are rather popular. As for armors, chest plates and pants are the most popular.

And then there are accessories with unique life-saving functions engraved on them. These are the most sought items if we\'re going to ignore runic armaments with the function to store items.

Spatial rings are basically THE most expensive runic armaments, which is only obvious because it is pretty hard to create them, and the materials are already more expensive than ordinary Tier-2 runic armaments," the old blacksmith explained.

He had a lot of knowledge when it came to business related to runic armaments. Nial was missing that, which is why the old blacksmith was pretty helpful in terms of business transactions.

"Would life-saving accessories that can only be used once but protect you from a barrage of attacks equivalent to the peak of the Deux rank, or one attack of a being at the Keltia rank be worth a lot more than ordinary life-saving accessories?" Nial asked. If the theory he had in mind was correct, it would be pretty easy to earn a huge fortune in an extremely short time.

A combination of advanced, intermediate, and basic runic constellations was forming in his mind and he was ready to create a bunch of life-saving runic accessories at once.

His mind was really weird. After combining his thoughts with his perception and the [Mana Sense], Nial could easily visualize all the runic constellations he wanted to engrave.

After applying this visualization to the materialized object, he could easily engrave all the runic armaments in a shockingly short period.

This was also why Nial was so good at mass-producing runic armaments.

"Life-saving runic accessories that can only be used once, but with tremendous defensive power won\'t fetch you a lot of money. They shouldn\'t be worth much if you cannot use them at an extremely low rank," the blacksmith answered after he recalled a few particular experiments that had failed miserably.

"What about Mid Mirae rank being able to use one or two of such accessories before their mana would be used up?" Nial asked curiously.

"That…if you can actually use two such accessories while being at the Mid Advanced Mirae rank all big families would be after such runic accessories for the price of high-quality Tier-3 runic armaments!" The blacksmith exclaimed as he took a guess.

He was not actually sure about the actual price influential families would pay if it was truly possible to create the runic armament Nial was talking about.

"Very good. In that case, we\'re going to create a few Peak Tier-2 runic accessories with life-saving skills and an Intermediate Mana storage directly connected to the combo of miniature runic constellations," Nial mumbled and he began to smile lightly.

"Okay…" The blacksmith just said before a huge portable smithy and workplace for Nial appeared in front of them.

They started to work and several weeks passed in the blink of an eye. After these weeks, the blacksmith\'s attitude toward Nial changed quite a lot. Instead of being careful and afraid of the Monster Army and Nial, there was reverence glistening in his eyes. He was shocked about all the things that had happened in the last few weeks even though they had mostly remained inside the portable smithy.

However, that was exactly the place where the old blacksmith had been shocked to the core. For the first two days, Nial focused on conducting a lot of experiments but sadly these experiments didn\'t work out very well at first.

That was why the blacksmith had been quite relaxed in the beginning, thinking that Nial was just a nutjob for experimenting around with expensive materials and so on.

Yet, the more time passed, the bigger the shock of the old blacksmith. He witnessed the creation of the craziest runic armaments and they broke the moment they\'d been used once.

Nial wasted materials worth millions of contribution points in his experiments, not caring about the costs, at all. The old blacksmith felt that Nial was just joking around or that he was some nouveau riche, who was trying out something new.

However, the more time passed, the more interesting the situation became.

Nial showed his great ambition and after several weeks, he showed the capability to engrave a wide combination of miniature runic constellations on a tight-knotted metal chain bracelet that had more than 15 runic constellations combined on it.

Being able to create such a highly complicated runic accessory was already extremely difficult for ordinary Runiciers, and even Master Runiciers didn\'t have such capabilities.

That simply meant Nial had already advanced to a Grandmaster Runicier according to his knowledge and expertise. He was only 24 years old, yet, had the capabilities not many were even capable of attaining below the age of 100.

It was even rare to become a Master Runicier below the age of 100, yet Nial had already become a Grandmaster Runicier at the age of 24.

That was amazing, but it was just the tip of the iceberg with respect to Nial\'s capabilities.

It was just one of many things, and Nial had a long road in front of him before he would end everything!
