Being able to take control over a beast to the extent that it was not even able to retaliate the slightest bit when ordered to tear apart its own kind meant that the gemstone necklace was no less than a treasure.

Yet, when sensing what was happening, Nial stayed glued to the spot, only to regain his senses as a total of three earth spikes shot past him.

Piercing into the reared up wolf, the sharp ends of the spikes killed it on the spot, while the Goblin Warrior fell to the ground.

Meanwhile, the freed wolf, whose throat had been ripped apart was whimpering pitifully, causing Nial to grit his teeth.

Circulating mana through his body, he ignored the numerous thoughts that flashed through his mind.

Catapulting forward, he jumped over the slippery ground below him in two large strides as he emerged in front of the whimpering wolf.

With a thrust of his Viper spear, he ended its life, and the pain it was feeling quickly.

Averting his attention to the Goblin Warrior, who was slowly getting up from the ground, Nial shot forward once again before he lunged out with the Viper spear held in one hand.

In his other hand, Nial accumulated a little bit of his mana which he compressed, and inserted it inside a small pebble-sized crystal, causing a bright light to emerge in it.

Only a moment later, he threw the crystal that seemed to have appeared in his hand out of nowhere, blinding the Goblin Warrior that had been moving to enter a proper defensive stance.

Not wanting to give the Goblin Warrior a chance to see him, Nial pierced out with the Viper Spear the moment he entered the range of the dazzled beast.

Piercing its throat with the Viper Spear, Nial ended the Goblin Warrior\'s life at once, which turned into an Origin crystal moments later.

\'I thought monsters outside the dungeon cannot turn into an Origin crystal?\'

From the looks of it, he had been misinformed as the intel came from his parents, which caused him to smile lightly, thinking that he had a lot to learn about.

Nial had no issues with learning things on his own, but right now he had to pay attention to the other opponents instead of focusing on the crystal that fell in the mud.

Upon clearly hearing the pained voices of the Goblin Warriors and the Horned wolves they were riding, Nial smiled lightly, thanking Kira and Mara for their extraordinary job in finding a loophole in the list of forbidden items.

\'The Illumination crystal is truly powerful, and when its overclocked it is even more potent!\'

He might not be able to see the bright light he caused, but that was not necessary to notice the effect on his opponents as he was clearly able to hear and feel the efficiency of the Illumination crystal.

Nonetheless, his smile vanished quickly as he understood that there were too many opponents they had to defeat.

Nial and Mathias had worked together to kill a total of two Goblin Wolfriders, with only two were left for them to defeat.

Meanwhile, Bella was fighting eight of them at once, in the light drizzle that was making the ground slippery, while moving on the muddy ground as if it was a solid foundation.

It looked like Bella was proficient in fighting on mud, or every kind of environment, to be precise.

This astonished not only Nial but also Mathias, who clearly understood that he should support Nial first before extending his support to Bella.

Her blonde hair was sticking to her back owing to the drizzle that drenched her hair and clothes, allowing Mathias to see her curvaceous and plump figure clearly.

Nial might be unable to see everything, but he could still sense it.

Yet, rather than being affected by it, he grew worried about Bella because she was fighting against eight Goblin Wolfriders alone.

The thought of her being injured because of his weakness tormented his mind, and he forcefully injected mana inside [Hodur\'s Heir] so as to help her.

Through this, his senses were further enhanced, including his control over mana.

But that was fortunately not everything as by now he had also figured out how to release the Black Miasma, or at least a little portion of it.

Using half of the mana he possessed as a 3rd Origin rank, many things had changed from before.

After having undergone two enlargings, Nial\'s mana core could store more than five times the amount of mana than before when he was still at the 1st Origin rank.

This clearly showed how much of a difference every single grade at the Origin rank meant.

Because of that, the amount of mana Nial was currently used solely for the purpose of releasing a handful of the Black colored Miasma, was truly extravagant.

In fact, it was wasted and could have been used better if his physical strength would have been strong enough for him to fight both the two Goblin Warriors and the two-horned wolves at once.

Without further help, this was impossible, which was why he used [Hodur\'s Heir] to enhance his senses before enveloping the tip of the Viper spear with the black miasma.

This made many things much easier as he could cut through the horned wolf\'s horn and the Goblin Warrior\'s spear without a lot of issues.

His weapon was superior to the two formerly stated objects, to begin with.

As such, only Nial\'s strength was relatively weaker.

But even without higher physical strength, Nial was now able to do everything he pleased as the black color which the binding process of the curse had caused in his eyes seemed to darken further.

It was only for a moment, but his eyes flashed in eternal darkness, causing the four beasts that attacked him simultaneously, to stiffen.

A moment of utter silence passed, only for the beasts to realize that Nial had never stopped moving.

The moment of their negligence led them to their doom as Nial had emerged in front of them, his face a mask of cold fury as he brandished the Viper spear.

Swinging it at the height of the horned wolves\' neck, the Viper spear\'s tip gleamed lightly, enmantled by darkness that nobody was able to see owing to the utter darkness in which the surrounding was suddenly enshrouded.

Even Mathias was unable to see what was going on, which irked him.

He wanted to help Nial but felt incapable of doing so as he didn\'t see anything going on around his blind friend.

This frustrated the rather quiet Mathias as he took a step forward, only to notice that his feet had sunken into the mud below him.

Mathias wanted to free himself of the wet mud and approach the battlefield to be of any help.

Yet, upon hearing the painful noises of the dying horned wolves, which were quickly followed by the shrill cries of the Goblin Warrior, he instinctively halted in his tracks in astonishment.

\'Wait..he did it?\'

Confusion followed Mathias\' astonishment, but even before he could do anything, Mathias\' heard Nial\'s voice clearly, ringing through the night.

"Bella, are you fine? I\'m on my way!!"

Instead of taking a few deep gasps of cold air in order to calm himself from the horror of escaping death by the two spear thrusts the Goblin Warriors had issued as their last resort to end his life, Nial killed them mercilessly the moment he evaded their attack.

And, even then he did not take a break and called out for Bella in between his heavy breaths.

Nial was fully prepared to charge toward her in order to help out, even though he knew that she would not be defeated easily.

In the end, she was not only at the 7th Origin rank but had numerous other advantages that Nial\'s distinct senses had perceived since the battle had begun.

"I can see in the darkness, don\'t worry about me!"  Bella suddenly stated, loud enough for both youths to hear.

She was breathing regularly, and the rattling noise of metal clashing against meta could clearly be heard in addition to her voice, indicating that Bella was not even panting like them while fighting the eight Goblin Wolfriders with ease.

In fact, the Goblin Wolfriders had now been reduced to four, making things much easier for her as she paved her way through all of them.

Nial was not exactly astonished about this because he had already sensed that Bella\'s eyes were unique.

Meanwhile, Mathias had the exact opposite reaction as he nearly shouted out in surprise.

This was unusual of him as he seemed to be a reserved type of guy but he was currently behaving out of character as his mind was trying to digest what kind of monsters he had teamed up with.

\'One of them is able to see in the darkness, has a powerful ability, and certainly an innate ability, and a special trait that might as well stem from her innate ability…\'

Mathias thought while staring in the direction of Bella, only to realize that he was unable to see further than five meters ahead of him.

The moon was hidden behind the large pine trees, preventing the moonlight from illuminating their surroundings.

This made him wonder if it would have been better to bring some lightsticks with him.

Yet, only a moment later his expanded mana perception made him notice a person rushing through the shadows as his eyes subconsciously followed the movements he perceived through his mana.

\'And then there is Nial…Why can\'t I figure out anything about him?? He told us about his Curse, and what it does, but…is that really everything?\'

Even though Mathias was known for being quiet and relatively timid, his behavior changed during combat.

It was something his father had forced upon him, and despite not liking it, Mathias was thankful for his father\'s strict attitude when it came to training.

The same could be said about his analytical skills.

Once he encountered something he didn\'t understand, Mathias wanted to figure out the issue at hand.

That was likely to be another reason for him to sit next to Nial, the first time he had walked in the basement.

After all, it was not normal for a blind youth at the 3rd Origin rank to be able to enter the Teradan military camp, even with the necessary background.

Weirdly enough, he had bound a curse to himself owing to his desperation to become stronger, which had been Nial\'s genuine emotions.

As such, the question if he truly had backing or not was…questionable!

To add to it, Nial had shocked Mathias a little bit just a few seconds ago by displaying his combat prowess.

He had defeated two goblin Wolfriders in a matter of two seconds, despite requiring Mathias\' help with the opponents before!

This was simply too suspicious, and interesting which made Mathias smile without realizing it.

Once again, he felt exhilarated to have chosen to attend the Teradan military camp for that was the reason for him to have stumbled upon this mysterious blind youth.

Mathias was smiling brightly despite his clothes being soaked in water, his feet covered in mud, and him being unable to see his surroundings properly!
