Odyssey of the Blind God-Chapter 527 Nemesis

Nial perceived his surrounding clearly. That was how he could tell that they were in a colosseum that was almost as big as a village. It was ridiculously huge but so was the arena in which they were already standing right now.

As he used his range of perception and Mana Sense to sense the entire City of Trials, Nial figured that he couldn't perceive everything. However, what he perceived was more than enough to be deeply impressed.

'The Soul Shards of those Gods are not to be taken lightly. They're pretty strong, though that's kind of obvious,' Nial figured before he heard the introduction of the Undying.

"My name is Dilan Cier, but you can call me Undying. Do whatever you want. Nice meeting you, Nial Orin, the Eternal Darkness!" The Undying, Dilan Cier, greeted him in a voice that was somewhat excited but also holding a tinge of frustration.

However, Nial was pretty sure that the frustration was not related to him.

'Did she tell him my name?' Nial wondered all of a sudden as he lifted his head as if he wanted to look over to the Oracle.

"She spoke way too much about you, this hypocr–..." Dialn nearly cursed out before he shut his mouth.

The Oracle blushed for a moment, while the corners of Nial's lips curled upward. He wanted to tease her a little about that. It would distract him from thinking about other things rather than the news he had gotten from Damian not too long ago. Dilan, on the other hand, could only pinch the bridge of his nose, trying not to feel like beating the shit out of everyone.

"Either way, how about you reveal the rules of our little fight, so that we don't misunderstand anything? It would be annoying if someone were to make a mistake because they didn't understand the rules properly," Dilan interrupted before Nial could say anything else.

The Oracle seemed a little bit baffled by the sudden interruption but she had to quickly regain her composure.

"Huh? Oh yeah, I can do that…" She said a little bit helplessly, while Nial had begun to investigate the Undying in a little bit more detail.

He restricted his range of perception to focus solely on Dilan in order to see how strong he was.

Nial was still smiling but he turned over to Dilan Cier, whose head turned in his direction as well.

'Does my gaze make him uncomfortable, or can he sense that I'm 'looking' at him through my range of perception?' Nial wondered the longer he perceived Dilan Cier. He was getting a little excited to fight someone like the Undying, especially since their fight shouldn't be too boring.

The Oracle cleared her throat to attract the attention of the two Fate Changers before she started to reveal the rules of the fights.

"To put it simply, your mission and trial are pretty much the same. To unseal the second Godly Sea, Nial Orin has to defeat Cier, or survive for the next 100 Days. Meanwhile, Dilan Cier has to defeat Nial Orin or survive the next 100 Days to complete his advancement to the fourth Tier, and to receive the evaluation of the Universe to determine the degree of the gift he'll receive.

Nobody will actually die in this place, no matter who it is or what happens, so both of you can go all out without the need to hold back.

As for what happens given the minuscule possibility that one of the Fate Changers fails his mission...it's quite simple. You will have to achieve something grand to unseal the second Godly Seal…"

The Oracle took a pause to look in Nial's direction for a moment before she averted her attention. Both Fate Changers noticed this and a faint smile appeared on Dilan's face while Nial was trying to keep a straight face.

'She spoke only about the Godly Seal…that means she thinks that I'm the only one who can fail this mission?' Nial asked himself as he tried to not let his worries reflect in his expression.

Dilan, on the other hand, was pleased with himself.

In the Oracle's opinion, Nial was unlikely to fail the mission. However, Dilan was the Undying. The name was enough to suggest that he wouldn't really die, whether it was impossible to actually die during this fight or not.

"There is not much else to add, except that Dilan Cier won't be able to use any of his bound abilities during the battle. He will only be able to use his Special Traits, Origin ability, and the techniques he learned. The reason for this is quite simple.

He spent 10,000 years in the City of Trials, where one year is equivalent to one day outside the Forgotten Time Realm," The oracle added and it was only after that when Nial's poke face finally crumbled.

Nial already had a fair idea about the special terms of the fight but it was still a little annoying if he were to be honest with himself.

He was vexed that Dilan was given so many disadvantages especially since he picked on the subtle hint that the Undying wouldn't actually be able to fail his trail! fr𝚎e𝙬𝚎𝚋𝚗૦ν𝚎𝒍.c૦m

This was more than enough reason for Nial to feel agitated and think it was great that he didn't have to hold back while fighting the Undying.

The Oracle's explanation was over and it was only a matter of time before the Undying and the Eternal Darkness ended up standing opposite each other.

Two Fate Changers prepared themselves to fight against their respective opponent with the intention to defeat them. The rewards for both would be better the higher their evaluation score was…and both wanted to become as strong as possible.

Nial took a spear from the wall of weapons that was located inside the arena and he spun it around his body. The spear had a long pinpointed blade and he circulated mana into it, while testing the weapon's balance, mana conductivity, and so on.

"No runic constellations…" Nial ended up mumbling before he shrugged once.

After experimenting the limit of mana input as well as other things a bit, Nial chose a weapon that satisfied him to some extent. However, he couldn't help but feel that it was a waste of great materials not to turn it into a mighty runic armament.

'He is staring at me differently now…well, whatever, it won't change anything when we fight!'

Nial wouldn't show mercy to Dilan, and he could also tell that Dilan wouldn't hold back either. But that was not something Nial wanted either way.

Nial considered Dilan as his enemy, for the time being.

They might be fellow Fate Changers but that didn't change anything.

He tightened his grip over his spear and changed his stance while visualizing how Dilan did exactly the same as they waited for the countdown for their battle to begin.
