Odyssey of the Blind God

Chapter 530 The Undying Vs The Eternal Darkness (3)



At the third Tier, an Ascender was roughly as strong as an Original at the Prometheus rank, or so it was supposed to be. However, the Undying turned the tables and was giving not one, but three of his opponents a tough time with the use of the unique God rank techniques he had learned to utilize.

One of the techniques was the 72 Slashes of Destruction Sword Style which was utilized with Dilan\'s sword. The Undying shrouded the sword in a membrane that was created with the Power of Destruction, and an Aura called Immortality Aura.

The Undying\'s Immortality Aura was manifested by draining his own life force. The Life force he had used, turned into the Immortality Aura that was as strong as the amount of Life force he used. Being the Undying, Dilan could use as much Life force as he wanted in an extremely short period.

And he exploited it to his benefit in order to reinforce the power of the 72 Slashes of Destruction Sword Style\'s first slash. With the first slash, Dilan cut off Kaeldur\'s arm and he found out the weaknesses and special traits of the two Devils.

Nial could tell that quite easily by visualizing the battle against the Undying in the finest detail.

While the Tyrant of Destruction was able to destroy and actually absorb the layers of Destruction that had been created with low affinity toward the Power of Destruction, it was very harmful to Kaeldur.

On the other hand, it was possible for Dilan to cut through dark energy using the Power of Destruction. It was the first time Nial had met someone who could cut through his dark energy. Thus, Nial was greatly surprised every now and then while facing the Undying who was a nuisance of an opponent.

Fortunately, Nial was able to make use of his own special traits, which was how the amount of dark energy inside his Heart of Darkness never decreased.

\'Spread out even further, and absorb more mana… I need more!!\' He shouted in his mind while his dark energy continued to expand its range through the ground.

Even if he wanted to, he was not able to continuously use the Vengeance of Chaos ability as his body was not able to handle the highly potent energy. Chaos was lethal and potent which could be used to his advantage, but it was also a double-edged sword. That made things very difficult, especially when he had to face an opponent whose odds of survival were extremely high.

Nial had to preserve his power and he couldn\'t sustain any injuries, otherwise, he would end up facing the biggest disadvantage. The injuries would restrict his movement and combat prowess, and they would get worse because Dilan would certainly force him to move around, which would tear open the wounds before they got the time to heal. He did not have an exceptional regeneration ability like Dilan.

This clearly showed the difference in the two Fate Changers\' goals. Both weren\'t in a hurry to win against each other, but that didn\'t change the most important fact.

While Nial had to be careful not to die, and survive, for at least, 100 days while fighting the Undying, Dilan couldn\'t actually die. Dilan had to utilize the battlefield and turn it into his greatest show to demonstrate to the Universe\'s Fate that he was more than worthy to receive the things he wished for.

But even after Dilan worked hard to create the most entertaining and climatic show, he was only able to injure Kaeldur, one of Nial\'s subordinates.

This feat shouldn\'t be underestimated but it was also something that Dilan could do after dying hundreds of times.

However, that was more than enough for Nial to be alarmed. If dying hundreds of times was already enough to cut off Kaeldur\'s arm, dying a thousand times, or more than that, should be enough to eliminate, Kaeldur, Tyrant, and last but not least, Nial, the Eternal Darkness.

"Stop!" Nial shouted out loud, issuing a command to Dilan with the use of Dominion. He didn\'t apply any Chaos to release the strongest version of Dominion but that was not necessary, fortunately.

Dilan\'s body froze in place for a moment, and it was easily perceptible that it took the Undying tremendous effort to be able to move again.

Droplets of blood trickled out of his mouth while the corners of his lips curled upward. The droplets of blood soon turned into a small river as a massive amount of blood began to stream down the corners of his lips.

\'Did he bit his tongue to release himself from Dominion\'s effect?\' Nial realized with a start. He was slowly starting to understand that it would be hard to use Dominion against the Undying as well. The Undying\'s mind might not be fortified through his unique regeneration Origin ability, but it was quite obvious that Dilan knew how to free himself from the manipulation of the mind.

However, that could only be possible if the Undying\'s mind was already extremely strong. If that were to be the case, it meant that Dilan might have learned some techniques that could be used against abilities similar to Dominion, rather than his Origin ability being able to block most mental attacks.

\'I should never underestimate someone who has been trained by Gods for 10,000 years…\' Nial reminded himself sternly.

He could tell how determined Dilan was based on the way he fought. The Undying didn\'t really pay much attention to his safety. Taking that into consideration, it was not hard to imagine that Dilan might have trained relentlessly under the guidance of the God Soul Shards for the last 10,000 years.

That would, obviously, result in great achievements, which was something Nial witnessed firsthand.

Nonetheless, Nial could issue subtle commands with Dominion, as a superior mind-controlling ability, and force Dilan to listen to them to a certain extent. That was why Dilan ended up stopping in his tracks for a quarter of a second until the sharp pain arising from his bitten tongue pulled him back to reality.

That quarter of a second was enough for Nial to make use of it.

Thorny vines made out of darkness shot out of the ground all of a sudden. They winded around Dilan\'s feet and legs and restricted his movements while the thorns pierced deep into his skin. Their tips had sunken deep into his flesh and cut into Dilan\'s flesh when he tried to move.

It was only little damage but it was not as if Nial was trying to actually finish off Dilan with the use of the thorny vines.

He was trying to figure out where the limitation of Dilan\'s Origin ability lay.

It was hard to believe that an Origin ability as powerful as Dilan\'s existed without any apparent drawbacks.

There should be a limit…a flaw…something that could be used against the Undying.

Anything, no matter how trivial, would be fine…
