Odyssey of the Blind God

The crimson bolts of lightning were discharged and the power that ought to be wielded only by the strongest Gods was released at once.

Both Dilan and Kaeldur were burned to a crisp and the Devil, who had never voiced out his discomfort, let alone a sign that he was in pain, not even when his arms had been cut off, let out a soul-screeching scream that rang through the ears of the two Fate Changers.

'How the hell is it possible for him to unleash such an attack?' Nial thought in shock while lifting his arm in response to the unbearable scream of his trusted companion. Currents of Chaos covered both of his arms and he released his chaos, ignoring the pain that spread through his body upon using powers he was not supposed to be able to wield yet.

'If you go all-out, I shouldn't hold back either!' He thought as the pain steadily increased, and he too let out a blood-curdling scream.

"If you can use the powers of Gods, I might as well endure the Chaos that spreads through me!!"

He released the Chaos that was supposed to stop the discharge of crimson bolts of lightning. The pain made his veins convulse which resulted in his arms cramping as the currents of Chaos were freed. Wave upon wave of pain hit his nerves but he held his ground and gave his all to end the suffering of his loyal comrade. Sadly, it was to no avail.

The crimson bolts of lightning never stopped unleashing their tremendous power, not even when they crushed into the ground where its destructive force was unveiled.

The air around the Colosseum was charged with electricity and the ground shook as the crimson bolts of lightning struck, tearing apart fragments of the arena that couldn't even be damaged by the Lesser Gods which Dilan had fought before.

The arena looked as if a hundred landmines had exploded in one go, leaving Nial who witnessed everything through his visualization in shock at the raw power unleashed right before him.

'What the…' Nial could only think as he burst forward while maintaining steady control over the vines of darkness around him. He ordered them to pierce into the mass of crimson bolts of lightning and pull Kaeldur out of it.

For a moment, Nial forgot about the Undying, which was also why he didn't realize that Dilan was not even in the mass of crimson bolts of lightning anymore, not technically.

Quite a while had already passed since the Undying first discharged the bolts of lightning and the remnants of his mortal body could be seen scattered in the mass.

However, what nobody had realized was that Dilan's head, heart, and soul had long since left the chaotic mess of the crimson bolts of lightning when they shot toward the ground.

"Sorry to trouble you, but this moon is fucking annoying!" Dilan snarled as his entire body fully regenerated.

He was standing on top of the humongous Blood Eclipse Moon and was staring down at the pitiful mass that had once been his body. There were also the remains of Kaeldur's body but Dilan was not too focused on that.

'That screech was fucking loud…well, whatever…'

Dilan shrugged his shoulders and he used his mana and the Power of Destruction to form a mana blade that was shrouded in several layers of his Destruction Power. He had lost his weapon earlier but that issue was easily solved since he was surrounded by a tremendous amount of mana. Nial had gathered everything to make use of it himself, without realizing that Dilan was able to control the mass of Mana as well!

What followed the creation of a blade created with highly compressed Mana, layered by the Power of Destruction was the manifestation of the Immortality Aura and a mighty thrust into the moon. The mana blade pierced deep inside the Blood Eclipse Moon, which ended up creating mere superficial damage to the large construction.

Dilan expected that, which was also why he took a deep breath before he discharged his entire mana and life force inside the mana blade and his attack.

"1st Thrust of the Destruction Sword Style, Hole in One!" He screamed at the top of his lungs while grimacing in pain as the Blood Eclipse Moon Burst open, unleashing all the crimson moonlight that had been hoarded inside it.

As the Blood Eclipse Moon crumbled to pieces, a tremendous explosion occurred. Shards of rocks and debris shot in all directions. The surface of the Blood Eclipse Moon was ripped apart along the area of impact with fissures and craters opening up as Nial's beloved creation was shattered and pulverized.

The sky was painted crimson as a dazzling display of varying shades of red that shone brightly.

Nial couldn't help but curse in his mind as the Grain belonging to the Blood Eclipse Moon ability was the only thing that was left unscathed.

Dilan stared at the tiny grain that looked just like a miniature version of the Blood Eclipse Moon while the hoarded crimson moonlight shot in all directions.

It seeped into him with a tremendous force and every single cell in his body was affected by the crimson moonlight. The moonlight spread all over the City of Trials, shrouding the entire City in crimson light. This display only lasted for a few seconds until the crimson moonlight dispersed.

But what was unveiled after the red hue cleared were destroyed buildings outside the City of Trials and inside the Colosseum. Not a single structure stood intact as the debris and stone fragments had reduced the entire City to a pit of rubble.

"Another mess removed. Two subordinates down, one ability terminated, and only one exhausted young man left to defeat!" Dilan summarized in a steady voice, his eyes gleaming brightly as he spent a few seconds replenishing his mana as he was still surrounded by the mass of mana that hovered above the Colosseum's arena.

'Come on…show me some emotions, Nial Orin!!!' Dilan shouted in his mind as he dived down, head first. He used his Green Magic to control the winds around him and summon new winds. His control was back to its Peak since the crimson moonlight didn't affect him anymore after it had dispersed and he could deactivate the True Undying Essence once again, allowing it to recharge for later use.

Taking a deep breath, he felt excitement thrumming through his body once again. Considering the current situation of the battle between the two Fate Changers, Dilan was certain that he would get a good overall rating in his trial. He might have been imprisoned for several weeks, killed over and over again, and forced to control his power in a manner that allowed him to use it even while his life force was so low that he could barely be considered alive, but he had emerged victorious and how!.

It had been extremely hard, but he had managed to turn the tables and escaped the imprisonment of Nial Orin, the Eternal Darkness.

On the other hand, Nial was not feeling great anymore. His chest heaved heavily and darkness exuded all over his body. His eyes had turned crimson and the pressure he emanated while turning his head to Dilan was completely different from before.

"Fuck off, bastard!" Nial shouted as a humongous amount of mana, dark energy, and the Essence of Darkness erupted from within his body all of a sudden.

Kaeldur's remains turned into darkness currents that merged with Nial's body, but that was not something the young Fate Changer was able to sense anymore.

His eyes had turned crimson in color and a humongous structure was being created and rising up behind Nial.

'What the hell is that?'
