Odyssey of the Blind God

Chapter 141 Ambition



After having breakfast with everyone in the dorm\'s canteen, the group of three walked through the military camp.

Bella and Mathias told him about many things Nial had missed out on when he was gone for almost five days. His earlier calculation had been a little bit off because he had missed out on considering that all Originals were supposed to gather up on the evening of the 6th day.

As he had missed out on taking this into consideration, Nial didn\'t have an entire day left to explore the camp, but only half a day to do so.

But that was more than fine because it wouldn\'t make much of a difference to him.

Thus, the three friends spent their time in a rather relaxed manner, and hours flew by in the blink of an eye.

In these few hours, Nial found out many things that were bound to be useful to him in the long run. This included information about places that possessed specific rooms with runic arrays.

These specific arrays ought to allow everyone inside to improve their control with mana and to make it feasible to absorb more mana in a short period of time.

It was quite useful for people to make use of such rooms, even more so if one was slower in terms of absorbing mana.

Nial was, by no means, slow in absorbing mana. If one had to compare him to the other participants of the Teradan military camp, he was in the Top 5, at the very least!

The only downside was that Nial\'s mana core had undergone only two enlargings, while the required mana for a third enlarging was comparable to the amount of mana other Originals required for their sixth enlarging!

This was due to the fact that his mana core had increased in size after being nurtured by the Lesser Titan youngling\'s heart!

Nial required more mana than anyone else in the Teradan military camp to enlarge his mana core.

As such, he considered using the Master Mana proficiency room to test out its efficiency.

But before doing so Bella and Mathias led Nial to a dojo that felt eerily similar to Master Junades\' home.

Numerous shelves with all kinds of martial art manuals were lined across the walls of the entire dojo, and the grade of the available manuals increased the higher one went.

The best techniques were on the highest floor, but Nial could sense that he wouldn\'t be able to reach this place because the security measurements were way too high.

In order to reach the higher floors, one required special permission, while entry to the highest floor was restricted only to the camp leader and a few more unique authorities.

When they kept looking for other places, Nial realized that there was not only one Dojo that belonged to the military, but that there were many places that belonged to specific organizations.

In exchange for signing a part-time contract, or even a permanent contract with one of the said organizations it would be possible to learn certain techniques.

However, the contracts bound the Original to the said organization in most cases, and only some techniques were allowed to be made use of by the different types of Originals that were ranked according to their future growth potential.

Nial didn\'t like being bound to an organization for an indefinite period, which was why he didn\'t even think of signing a contract.

He wasn\'t one to be easily fooled which was why Nial didn\'t think of entering the building complexes that belonged to any organization.

Bella and Mathias thought that Nial was being unnecessarily cautious but it was not as if they really cared.

After all, they didn\'t want to sign binding contracts as well!

While Bella could already be said to belong to a certain place, Mathias was not sure what exactly he wanted to do in the future.

After reincarnating he felt as if there was a need for him to do something big, something with a certain purpose.

There had to be a reason for him to have been reincarnated on Jundra, after all.

Even if he was timid and shy as a result of his past life\'s events, he still had a certain pride within himself.

He had reincarnated and received a second chance, which meant that the Universe had big plans for him!

That was at least what Mathias told himself from a young age, only to start gaining confidence much later.

Mathias was pretty sure that his bad mental condition had begun to improve from the fateful day when he encountered Nial for the first time in the basement of the pub.

Since that day he felt as if he was gaining more confidence in his power, and that it was not necessary to change himself as long as he was around the right people!

With that in mind, gaining the strength to overcome the hurdles, that living on Jundra posed could be said to have become the most important for Mathias.

And these hurdles were certainly not something one could overcome by being lazy, or overly timid.

This was even more apparent in Mathias\' case after everything he had witnessed on the nameless island.

The first five days after leaving the basement and trying to find a way to the island had been the most fearsome days in his entire life, and this even included his past life!

As such, it was great to have powerful friends by his side.

Mathias wanted to know their secrets, but in order to achieve this, he would have to be ready to reveal his own secret!

But that was not something he was ready to do yet.

After they passed by the shopping district, they came across the district for the three basic auxiliary occupations as well as out of the box occupations.

Most Originals simply called this district \'the business and craftsmen\' district, while others called it the \'Lair of ferocious Beasts.\'

The second name was something that originated from the fact that Miranda\'s abode was situated within this district!

However, the Old and slightly crazy woman was not the only reason for the Liar of ferocious Beasts to be called such.

There were only a handful of people that were like Miranda, with the sole difference that they were not as strong as her.

But even then their strength and ingenuity had caused way too many issues, even more so after the information about the existence of unique runic armaments surfaced.

Too many blacksmiths, runic inscribers, and even alchemists were trying to find out the synergy of the runic armaments, how they were created and how they actually worked, allowing the use of elemental affinities without the need to actually possess the said affinity!

This was something that was not ought to be possible. In fact, even after researching the runic armaments for several days, the information they had been able to procure was far less than they could hope for.

As such, everyone in the business and craftsmen district was eager to send out Originals, who would enter the ancient ruins dungeon in exchange for receiving special resources.

Bella and Mathias had been approached by many craftsmen to purchase their runic armaments, but they didn\'t do so.

After all, their runic armaments were enough to possibly allow them to survive a dangerous fight.

The runic armaments might not look like much in the first place, but they were actually quite powerful, and good to use in a versatile fighting style.

When Bella and Mathias told him about the business and craftsmen district, Nial got an idea which was why he was quite eager to reach it.

Thus, without any hesitation, he went into the abode of the Old Healer, whom he had been planning on visiting either way.

Nial had now gained control over his dark energy, which was why he felt as if it would be for the best to gain another mentor!

The teaching and memories of the Darkness God were helpful, but it was not as if the Darkness God was actually trying to hone his skills and polish him to become a flawless diamond.

That was mostly owed to the fact that the Darkness Domain was one of the only places where the late God of Darkness was able to speak to him.

He had been astonished that Nial received some of his memories so early as well!

This only indicated that the Darkness God was unable to see everything Nial was doing. Merely a few pieces of information seemed to seep through and reach his mind.

However, that was not an issue because the little help of the Darkness God was more than enough for Nial.

It made him feel more reassured as well, which was also great.

With that in mind, Nial wanted to discuss the Old Medic\'s offer again, and request her to accept him as her disciple or something like that.

If Nial were to be honest, he had already forgotten the details of Miranda\'s offer.

The entire day after he defeated the Lesser Titan youngling was riddled with blurred memories and times he didn\'t remember anything that had happened.

Nial understood that this was because he was simply too distracted by the fright he had about the intentions of the Odyssey seed, and the dark energy\'s influence.

Now Nial was not afraid anymore, and it was as if he had received a major boost in his confidence. One could actually say that he became an entirely new human.

His strength was also much higher than before, while his motivation to become stronger had increased even more!

Earlier, Nial was not even sure if his ambition could grow further.

However, after he obtained some of the Darkness God\'s memories, everything changed.

The dangers Jundra faced were far more threatening than he had initially expected.

Mankind would have to encounter situations that were beyond any kind of mortal reasoning.

After all, Gods were on their way toward Jundra because of whatever reason they had.

And the worst was that Nial was not even able to tell others about his secrets because he believed that there were spies hidden in mankind\'s rows.

If anyone were to get wind of the powers he was inheriting, the threats he and everyone around him would have to face were bound to increase manifold.

As such, he should be careful about who he would trust to divulge the secret of his dark energy as well because if an incarnation of a God would descend on Jundra to conquer the planet at a much faster pace, his identity would be exposed as well!

This was not something Nial could accept, which was why he entered the Old Medic\'s abode with a determined expression.

The moment he encountered the Old Medic, whom he had sensed from far away, the corners of his lips curled upwards while Miranda could only say,

"So…you are finally here?"
