Odyssey of the Blind God

Without Nial actually realizing several years passed in the blink of an eye. Compared to the time he spent on Jundra, the concept of time in the unknown parts of the Universe felt completely different. It was almost as if time ran slower on Jundra because he had so many different tasks to do.

However, that didn't really make sense because Nial actually did much more in the unknown parts of the Universe than anywhere else. He spent lots of time collecting a vast amount of different resources that could come in handy in the future. At the same time, he cultivated, his darkness domain unleashed to the fullest. His Vortex of Abyss cultivation technique was unleashed, absorbing a tremendous amount of mana through the Meteorfield's outskirts. That was where Nial was most of the time, spending his time doing various things.

A thing Nial had also focused on a lot was learning how to fight without the use of an ounce of dark energy. In fact, he used the information about the huge box to replicate a small device that could actually seal all his dark energy and prevent him from even sensing it. This left him a little helpless for quite a while. However, it was a necessity as he had to learn how to rely on his other senses to fight. He couldn't just continue to rely on his dark energy and expect that none of his opponents would create countermeasures while facing him.

Nial was blind and it was quite obvious how he could still move around as if his blindness didn't affect him in the slightest. It was obviously his perception of the surroundings and the visualization of things with the use of his cultivated energy that allowed him to move like this. Cutting off the utility of his cultivated energy would inevitably cripple his combat prowess. It was smart to do this against him, and it was actually quite a surprise that no one had ever done this while fighting him to death.

The only times he couldn't perceive his surrounding area was in the basement of Yggdrasil when he entered the territory of the Fairy Queen, and not too long ago as the Demihumans caught him in the huge box within space.

Nial spent close to ten years traveling through the Meteorfield, facing all kinds of monsters head-on while relying only on his other senses. They were extremely sensitive but that was hardly useful when it came to traveling through space. Nonetheless, it was a good type of training he underwent while spending his time in space, searching for more resources. Nial released his dark energy only to search for resources in his surrounding area every now and then. If he wouldn't do that, Nial would waste too much time, after all.

After a bit more than ten years had passed, he had researched quite a lot about the unknown parts of the Universe, the way they invented space traveling, how their devices work, what exactly the huge box and their weapons were and how to upgrade them, and his runic armaments, by combining his knowledge.

At the end of the day, Nial knew that it was worth spending his time in the territory of the Demihumans. He didn't know much about the other races in this part of the Universe but his interest was not exactly focused on that either.

Right now, he was more interested in something entirely different thing, to begin with.

'Is that a Shadow Flood Dragon traveling through space?' He wondered when he heard a desperate roar resounding through the empty space. It was rare to hear something through space, just like it was rare to feel, touch, and smell something in space.

Thus, Nial didn't think twice before he removed the energy seal from his body. He unleashed his range of perception and Mana Sense to the peak and visualized everything around him in great detail.

What attracted his interest almost immediately was a serpentine existence whose body stretched for two to three kilometers. Something dark and eerie oozed out of its body. However, rather than thinking badly about that, Nial felt oddly intrigued about it. He was pretty sure that the being he visualized was a natural talent when it came to the Shadow affinity. The being's body was serpentine, with a triangular head and a wide, gaping mouth filled with rows of razor-sharp teeth. Its eyes were large and round, with its irises glowing in the same dark Shadows that oozed out all over its body.

However, interestingly enough, its body was covered in thick, armored plates that seemed sheer unbreakable, if not for the huge gapping holes all over its body. Its fins were massive and powerful, capable of propelling the creature through space at incredible speeds. It winded through the masses of Meteors with its humongous body as if it was nothing, despite being severely injured.

The cause of this was likely to be its tail that swung left and right seemingly as if it could bend space to maneuver through it easily.

'What is it?' Nial wondered at this moment. He could feel something weird about the humongous serpentine beast that might be a flood dragon, or something entirely different, something Nial had never seen before.

No matter what it was, Nial was interested. He could sense that the beast was severely injured and that it was fleeing from something. The thing, or rather horde of beasts, it fled was even more terrifying than the serpentine-like beast.

'Space Piranhas? These fuckers can devour entire planets…' Nial nearly shouted out loud, while visualizing thousands of Space Piranhas that followed closely behind the armored serpentine beast. If not for the armored serpentine beast being at the Keltia rank, it would have a good chance to fight against the Space Piranhas that were all at the Mythician rank, some even at the Peak of the Mythician rank.

Encountering those beasts at the Keltia rank was already rare because they were hunted with the intention to annihilate every single Space Piranha in existence. Thus, the horde of Space Piranhas was a big problem, especially since none of them was at the Keltia rank.

Of course, Nial didn't really care about the Space Piranhas. His entire interest lay on the armored serpentine beast that had something unique about it, something that made him feel like the beast was oddly familiar to the Grasp of Eclipse Movement technique.
