Odyssey of the Blind God

Chapter 264 Dimension Rift: Battle Mode

The Dimension rift amulet in the Battle mode was something extraordinary.

It was extremely difficult to produce it, and the resources and knowledge required were vast.

For such a runic armament to have been brought to Jundra, it had to be one of the Elves' few trumps.

By activating it, two individuals, the user, and the designated target would be teleported to an isolated space that existed within the amulet.

Afterward, both would fight a life and death battle until the end. Only when a single individual was left behind would the Dimension rift: Battle mode amulet release the survivors, and the corpse of the defeated being outside its isolated space.

Nial was oblivious to the amulet's functions but he was smart enough to understand that the amulet was important and that Valvian's reaction to it was more than enough to give him a bit of reassurance.

'Valvian will definitely be fine with this amulet!' He thought while trying to imprint the runic constellations on it in his mind. Nial wanted to compare them to the runic constellation he had learned.

With fast steps, Nial had rushed in the direction of the Forest of Life the moment Crevian and Valvian had been occupied.

Even if Nial knew that he was not very helpful against a Prometheus Original, at least not with his current strength, he knew that even the slightest help would be hugely appreciated by Valvian.

His heart was beating wildly and the Odyssey seed reacted to the brightly glowing Ankh. The Odyssey seed was beating as well, converting Nial's mana into dark energy, while simultaneously pulling more mana inside his body.

Nial had just ended the life of a severely weakened Prometheus Dryx, but the entire mana he had used up was replenished the moment he stepped through the Dome of War and entered the Forest of Life.

Loud sounds of explosions could be heard when he was inside the Forest of Life, but even before Nial could close the distance to the forest's center, a strong gust of wind brushed past him.

A green flash had surpassed him, fueled by anger and seemingly unlimited power.

"He can do it." Nial mumbled in confidence. Silvian's mana didn't seem stable and it was as if he was facing a weird condition right now. Something had happened to the Incarnation of the God of Saints and Devils, and Nial had no idea what it was.

He could only tell that his combat prowess was hugely restricted because the chaotic mana in Silvian's body prevented him from using it the way he wanted to.

'Oh!!'

The moment Nial's [Mana Sense] detected that both Valvian and Silvian were not far from each other anymore, Nial exclaimed in his mind.

Dozens of wind blades had been created by Valvian. He shot them out while making use of his movement technique to the limits to appear right in front of Silvian a moment later.

Valvian leaned forward by evading the Holy Spear Silvian had created and blasted toward him.

Several trees behind Valvian were pierced and destroyed in the process. They fell over, while the remaining life force oozed out of them.

"You!!!" Valvian screamed out in anger, knowing very well that Silvian was trying to provoke him. He seemed to take the bait, very well at that. Valvian had witnessed the death of dozens of Elves since the battle against the Dryx had begun.

The population of Elves may not be small but that was solely due to the fact that they had always been careful to nurture all lives. Elves lived a long life, even if they wouldn't increase their rank. Due to their long lifespan and their strong lifeforce, their fertility rate was much lower than that of humans.

Thus, every single life that had been lost in the fight against the Dryx was a terrifying loss to their race.

Valvian's mana seemed to change, it became more powerful and the wind blades that had been blasted in the forest shot toward Silvian from different directions.

"It won't be that easy for you to survive, little one. You're underestimating the strength of a God." Silvian's voice was eerily calm as he looked at the wind blades around him. Valvian had also approached him with a rapid speed, and both the wind blades and Valvian's spear were advancing towards Silvian and would pierce through his body a moment later.

However, just when Silvian was supposed to start bleeding like a pig, he began to smile brightly. The atmosphere in the surrounding changed instantly. Silvian's body was shrouded in a holy light as a white glowing mantle manifested around his body.

It was a runic armament, one that enhanced the holy aura Silvian unleashed to the fullest at this moment.

A moment later [Holy Guard] was activated. Silvian's entire body was engulfed in the Holy Guard, protecting him from the wind blades.

Meanwhile, Valvian's spear thrust impacted on the [Holy Guard]. It was stuck!

Valvian's eyes widened at this moment but instead of panicking, he send a blast of wind through the wind spear, creating a second impact on the Holy Guard.

'I can get through it!' He screamed internally when he felt that the Holy Guard wavered. And it was merely a moment later that the Holy Guard stopped resisting. It began to flutter and allowed Valvian to keep advancing and to attack Silvian.

However, the moment the Holy Guard was pierced through by Valvian, the Midnight Elf realized that Silvian had already disappeared from his earlier location.

Silvian actively used [Saintly Devil], his Innate ability, and [Holy Blessing] his third ability while activating his movement technique [The Devil's Saintly steps].

He disappeared from Valvian's eyes and emerged behind him. Yet, even before Valvian could react, he saw something behind the [Holy Guard] that seemed to disappear.

Silvian had activated his Second ability [Holy Spear] combined with his fourth ability [Tarnished Saint]. The holy attack that was supposed to purify the evil turned into something vile. It became an attack that would devour and destroy everything in its path.

Everything and everyone, who would touch it would be decayed....all life would cease to exist in the face of the Tarnished Saint's Holy Spear!

Valvian sensed that something was wrong with the Holy Spear that had turned into a greenish dark attack. It was vile, and something far more evil than Nial's dark energy.

'What the hell?!' Valvian felt like screaming out. However, there was no time for him to take a breath and release his frustration.

In front of him was an attack he had to deflect and destroy because then it would destroy the Forest of Life otherwise. But Silvian was behind him, piercing out with the longsword he wielded.

He had created another Holy spear, right above his body, and it was only a matter of the perfect timing before Silvian would use the third attack to further worsen the situation Valvian faced.

A bright smile emerged on the exhausted face of Silvian. He knew that after he defeated the Midnight Elf everything would be over.

A Midnight Elf was not just the leader of the Elves in an exploration team. It was much more than that. Some said that it would be considered the heart of the group, and the only existence who could control the territory of the Elves in new and unexplored lands. While others believed that the Empress blessed Midnight Elves and allowed them to become stronger than the others.

All of this was correct, yet also not, and Valvian was about to show Silvian everything he had up his sleeves.

'I cannot hold back anymore. Even if it will delay our plan, and even if I die...the Forest and the other Elves will survive. Silvian is not allowed to leave the Forest of Life, not alive!' Valvian's thoughts were a mess but he could tell that Silvian was the pest he had to eradicate at any cost.

Earlier, he had been oblivious to the fact that Silvian was the God of Saints and Devils. Master Crevian didn't tell him about it because he knew that Valvian would feel burdened by the thought of being forced to fight a God's Incarnation so soon after they recently descended on Jundra.

However, Nial's revelation had explained everything. Silvian controlled the Dryx, and he had both holy and evil abilities.

The existence of Silvian's powers clubbed in one was a miracle. Holy energies and the energies used by Devils were not supposed to exist in one body, let alone thrive and fuse.

But Silvian was a being who was able to do it. He was powerful, scheming, and knew how to utilize plans well.

His only issue was the variables that were unpredictable and out of his control. Several times before, his plans had been shattered because of unpredictable variables at the hands of existences, who did whatever they wanted without a plan.

They advanced without fear, without a thought of hesitation, and they overcame all struggles by crushing their opposite forces with all their might.

And exactly such an unpredictable variable had appeared in front of him just now.

The veins all over Valvian's body were brimming with life force. Every cell in his body was vitalized and endless streams of power seemed to increase Valvian's strength gradually.

His nature ability was fully unleashed, and the Forest of Life supported Valvian with every bit of power it could relinquish. Valvian's power was without a limit, and his eyes began to turn whitish-blue as the Midnight Elf's special trait was activated.

The excessive vigor in Valvian's power was turned into mana, which Valvian could make use of immediately.

Mana created from the life force of the body and the surrounding nature was far more powerful than ordinary Mana. This elevated Valvian's strength even further, allowing him to use the advanced stage of the movement technique which he usually used.

His body turned into a gust of wind, and powerful winds manifested around the Tarnished Saint's Holy Spear, forcing its trajectory to change the moment it was fired at Valvian.

It flew straight through the air without piercing through a single leaf. Simultaneously after the seemingly simple deflection of Silvian's terrifying attack, Valvian appeared right behind Silvian.

Silvian had attacked Valvian, but his current speed barely met the standards of a Prometheus Original, even after he had utilized his movement technique.

After Valvian used his own movement technique, it was near-impossible for Silvian to face the Midnight Elf.

However, Silvian had predicted the encounter with unpredictable variables this time.

After all, he had seen the least predictable variable of his life already which were; Damian, the Ruler of Darkness, and the man who brings chaos; the God of Darkness!

But what Silvian didn't expect was that the unpredictable variable was someone who he had presumed to know everything about.

'To think that I'll have to use this on the Midnight Elf...what a shame...'
