Odyssey of the Blind God-Chapter 531 The Undying Vs The Eternal Darkness (4)

Unfortunately, it was quite hard for Nial to find a drawback in Dilan's Origin ability.

It looked like a drawback didn't exist, especially since it had already been several days since their fight had begun and Nial was yet to find one.

Under normal circumstances, both Nial and the Undying should be dead tired by now. However, Nial used the mana he had absorbed from the surrounding area to keep himself fresh.

His darkness domain continue to expand and he used it in a very precise manner so that Dilan wouldn't take note of anything. That may not be necessary because Dialn was too focused on his battle with Nial, to begin with, but it was better to be safe than sorry.

'He is still as strong as he had been in the beginning…' Nial figured quickly, unable to comprehend where the Origin of his powers came from. It was impossible to regenerate out of nowhere. The Undying had to have a source of energy that allowed him to heal at such a monstrous speed.

Yet, even after spending a lot of time searching for it, Nial couldn't find it. That made no sense, but it happened right in front of him.

The amount of blood Dilan had lost in the last few hours was more than enough to prepare enough conserves of blood for Vampiric dungeon beasts to quench their thirst for several weeks, if not months.

That was unbelievable, yet, it was the bitter truth that Nial had to accept, otherwise, he would end up on the losing side!

"What the hell are you?!?" Nial's rather calm and composed expression finally crumbled.

All the confidence he had gained throughout the last few years seemed to disappear into thin air while facing the abomination that had appeared in front of him.

Dilan was certainly not the type of being Nial would face if he could avoid it. It was simply too much of a hassle to fight someone like Dilan, especially since he was not even that weak. His physical strength might only be on par with someone at the Peak of the Prometheus rank who was built with the strongest possible foundation, but he was certainly stronger than most Keltia-ranked Originals Nial had fought in the past. f𝐫ee𝘄ℯ𝚋no𝐯𝐞l.c𝘰m

That was ridiculous but it happened right in front of him!

If Dilan was not an abomination, Nial didn't know what or who could be considered one. Even in the memories of Damian, Nial rarely saw someone with a similarly dangerous and monstrous ability such as Dilan's regeneration.

It was horrifying, and Nial was certain that Dilan was the most terrifying opponent he ever faced.

He was not even sure what he was supposed to do against someone like Dilan.

"It's funny that you ask me that because I have the same question!" Dilan shouted out loud all of a sudden, his eyes shining a deep crimson in color while he grinned from ear to ear.

His appearance made it seem as if he lost his sanity as his sky-blue eyes had turned crimson not too long ago, but that was just Dilan's way to cope with endless pain that rushed at him in tidal waves. And then…there was also the repetitive loop of dying and regenerating.

Nial didn't even dare to imagine how strong Dilan's willpower had to be in order to get accustomed to feeling pain over and over, to die hundreds of times…was it even possible to get accustomed to something like that?

Nila was not sure about that but Dilan looked like he was doing quite well while enduring the physical pain. His psyche was doing fine as well, or so it looked.

Every single time he died within a specific period, it was like a switch was turned on in his head. From that moment onward, he would turn into the greatest Maniac until the brief period in which he wouldn't sustain an injury.

Nial had changed his tactic and hadn't landed a killing blow on Dilan for quite a while now as he was trying to restrict the Undying rather than killing him over and over again. Killing him repetitively was not actually that helpful while fighting the Undying.

However, that was how he got to understand that the Undying compensated his pain and suffering by turning into a maniac when he was killed over and over again.

That was some type of 'tic' he got from getting killed in various ways, repeatedly.

However, even then, it was not as if his brain stopped working just because he turned into a 'maniac.' On the contrary, his brain worked much faster than at any other time.

Thus, it was even more terrifying for Dilan to understand that Nial had still not run out of dark energy, or mana despite fighting non-stop for such a long time.

They had been fighting for almost a week by now…without a single break, and Nial didn't even show signs of being out of mana!

Dilan was also constantly replenishing his mana to make sure that his Origin ability would always be filled to the brim, but there was a big difference between his combat style that focused on the preservation of mana and subtle attacks in order to fight a battle of attrition rather than Nial's combat style that seemed to be the complete opposite.

The Undying issued some 'ultimate' attacks every now and then, while Nial didn't seem to possess something like that. He didn't have a 'one hit to kill' martial art technique. Nial focused more on the constant release of powerful attacks to obliterate his opponents as quickly as possible.

However, that made it quite difficult for Nial to finish off someone like Dilan.

The Undying wasn't going to be defeated that easily.

But even then, it was as if Nial was a bottomless pit of mana.

Was it even possible to fight a battle of attrition with someone like Nial?

Dilan was not so sure about that but the same could be said about the other way around.

Both Fate Changers were monstrosities at their respective rank and Tier. They were strong enough to defeat opponents that were at a much higher rank than them. It was even possible to attract the interest of Gods thanks to their unique powers.

They were both talented, but whether it was the Undying or the Eternal Darkness, both were hard-working and they never took long breaks, if they ever took them in the first place.

Their goals and dedication allowed them to strive toward more power and it was only a matter of time before they would turn into even more terrifying monstrosities.

Right now, they were just younglings and far from reaching the might of truly powerful existences. The Universe was vast and many parts of the Universe had yet to be discovered. 𝐟r𝒆ℯ𝘄𝑒𝒃𝚗𝒐𝘃e𝗹.c𝘰𝐦

However, the encounter between the two Fate Changers left a huge impact on the two of them. Both realized that they were not without flaws and that there were times when they would face stronger opponents.

But it was exactly those encounters that had to be faced head-on. Neither Nial nor Dilan should ever run away from their fights.

There was always room for improvement as nobody was perfect. They were supposed to fight with all their might and learn from the mistakes they made. Even if they were to lose, the Fate Changers would become stronger as long as they gave their utmost!

As long as they got up from the ground, failing could never be something bad!
