Odyssey of the Blind God

Fierce, explosive sounds resounded across the divine realm of the Adovcate\'s domain.

Nial was hit by the divine beams, drilling holes into the darkness and golden scales that covered his body. He didn\'t die, and neither did he sustain lethal injuries.

Nonetheless, the result of the attack was terrifying. He was swept away by the aftermath of the explosions and the bullet-like orbs that impacted him shortly after the divine beams hit him.

The divine orbs destroyed most layers of golden scales all over his upper body before they reached his naked skin. Nial twisted his body and he used the Eternal Darkness Spear to pierce them, finally destroying them.

Unfortunately, that didn\'t mean he was left unscathed.

One of the two divine orbs pierced his left shoulder, digging a deep hole into it. He spat out blood and swayed from left to right as the tremendous pain reached his head.

\'Fuck this shit…That\'s not how I wanted to play it down…\' 

Nial\'s expression turned grim. He had planned to sustain minor injuries to lower the Advocate\'s guard…and not end up with a fist-sized hole in his left shoulder. 

That was definitely not what he had planned!

It might have been a different story before but without enough reinforced dark energy to seal his wound, he would have to endure it. Crimson Chaos and Darkness couldn\'t be used to tend to the wound. It was not even enough to stop the bleeding.

The energies\' properties were simply not made for that. The only advantage Nial had was his natural healing. His body had once been enhanced by the Titan Heart he devoured, and he had received the Blessing of the Fairies. To top that, he was also in possession of the Symbol of Life, which had been enhanced by turning into the Heart of Darkness.

The Heart of Darkness then evolved, becoming the Heart of Gluttony, his Divinity. That being said, his natural regeneration was quite tremendous. 

He wouldn\'t die from a mere hole in his shoulder, and he could continue to fight…though it might hurt quite a bit.

\'It is impossible to approach her without sustaining more injuries…this mass-range attack like before is also bullshit…\' Nial cursed in his mind, only glad that it looked like the divine orbs were difficult to create. They required a tremendous amount of divine energy to be created.

\'Should I attack now?\' 

Nial was hesitant.

But so was the Advocate of the Pryard.

She was displeased by the current situation. Her original plan was to inflict severe injuries with the divine beams and finish him directly using the divine orbs. They required more than three-quarters of her accumulated divine energy to be manifested, after all!

She could replenish her divine energy by absorbing the surrounding divine energy but it would take a while. Repeating the same type of attack once again was not possible anytime soon.

Nial had to make use of that. As long as the Advocate grew a little more tired and lowered her guard, he would certainly come out victorious!!

Several pairs of wings unfolded behind the Advocate of the Pryard emitting a strange light that attracted the surrounding divine energy. 

Nial was able to sense it thanks to his darkness, which caused him to frown deeply.

\'She has another dirty trick up to her sleeves?\' 

Nial acted quickly. He used some of his nutrition to recover the destroyed golden scales. After that, he devoured bits of his overflowing nutrition to generate more darkness.

He was able to use Grasp of Eclipse using the darkness. Disappearing from his earlier spot, Nial reappeared above the Advocate of the Pryard. A subtle smile formed on his face as he thrust out.

The Eternal Darkness Spear released a beam of crimson chaos that pierced through the Advocate\'s wings. His attack was aimed at the strange light she emitted. Piercing it, the strange light distorted. It reacted to the crimson chaos whose remnants clung to it.

The distortion of the strange light intensified and it was not difficult to perceive that the light was changing. It turned slightly reddish.

In the following seconds, Nial pierced out several times in succession before he disappeared once again.

His body reappeared in his previous position. Blood oozed out of the regrown scales but he ignored the hole in his left shoulder. Nial couldn\'t do anything about it right now, either way.

Nial\'s Eternal Darkness Spear had pierced through each source of the strange light. He altered them by forcing his crimson chaos onto them. Thus, the following reaction occurred.

First, the strange light was not able to absorb divine energy anymore.

Second, crimson chaos infested the Advocate of the Pryard. She had to use Divine energy to prevent it from reaching her body. Retracting the strange light was out of option either. She didn\'t want to invite the infestation inside her body!

The Adovcate\'s eyes widened in surprise. She expected Nial to grow weaker, not to launch a sudden attack by devouring even more of his already declining life force.

Was he suicidal?

The Dark Successor had to act suicidal and do everything he could. Otherwise, he would lose…and he couldn\'t afford to lose.

Nial\'s Familiars noticed what Nial was doing. They tried to support him in various means but the only thing Goldy could do was to use his full focus to fortify the golden scales Nial summoned, while Psy could only attempt to refine the power that had been stored in his body for centuries.

Nial noticed their attempts to help, but he couldn\'t make use of that for now. He gathered the Darkness at the tip of the Eternal Darkness Spear and pierced it out once again.

The Advocate tried to move to evade the attack, but she found herself momentarily stuck in space. Only now did she realize that darkness ropes tied her wings.

She frowned, but still lowered her center of gravity before she lifted her hands. A tremendous amount of divine energy shot out of her palms, forming a huge shield.

What happened next caused her to frown even more.

The Advocate was pushed back.

The divine energy in her shield was being used up rapidly. 

Nial knew that the more divine energy she used up right now, the easier it would be to destroy the protection barrier coating her body.

Thus, the change of events caused him to smile lightly.

\'Come on. Use your divinity!!\' He shouted in his heart.

The feeling of fighting an unwinnable battle disappeared as if it never existed and the corners of his lips curled upward.

Darkness engulfed the divine realm.

Explosions rang out as Nial released more darkness. He formed needles with it and shot them at the Advocate of the Pryard.

Of course, the needles were not normal.

The darkness he manifested was a creation made by Hodur\'s Heir, the curse that could even devour crimson chaos

As long as the Curse of Hodur\'s Heir were to enter the Advocate\'s body, the plan he had in mind was more likely to succeed.

Hodur\'s Heir decreased the senses of those affected by the dark mist.

Once the darkness faded, a deafening roar filled the air again. Nial\'s needles pierced the protection layer of the Advocate before they fell to the ground uselessly.

Nial clicked his tongue when he heard and sensed that his attack failed but it was fine.

He found something interesting.

\'Looks like your barrier is far from invincible.\'
