"Well I am the most dangerous human, that\'s correct," Nial announced with a proud smile on his lips.

Gianna rolled her eyes at this sight and she felt like punching him for attacking her and acting like she was a pushover.

"Are you really the same Nial I know?" She asked in doubt, staring straight at Nial\'s face to see if he would flinch or react weirdly.

That was something Gianna had learned from her Spiritual Weapon. They conversed through telepathy and it told her that Nial was weird, that his energy was extremely dangerous, and that the young man knew way too much than he should be compared to mankind\'s collective knowledge and their advancement of technology.

"I\'m still the same but I have changed, that\'s not something I can deny," Nial stated calmly. He didn\'t seem to be bothered by this question, especially after he had noticed that his behavior was changing with time passed.

It was only once that he received memories of the Ankh, but occasionally, the Odyssey seed transferred some memories of the late God of Darkness to him.

Nial accepted the memories and he digested them to learn from them. This was everything he wanted to do with them, but it was not as if he could accept and digest them while remaining the same person.

He started to become more arrogant and his judgmental behavior partially stemmed from Damian\'s memories that influenced him subconsciously.

Nial learned to control how to make use of the God of Darkness\' memories while being the least influenced after some time had passed but that was the most he could do.

But that was not the only reason to influence a change in his behavior. The memories of someone else were one thing and the things he experienced himself were a different ball game altogether.

Nial faced unique situations on a daily basis. He fought against powerful Incarnations of Gods, and other races, entered unique dungeons, got to know other races, learned from them, made friends and enemies, and improved his knowledge whenever possible.

It would be weird if Nial would stay the same after experiencing all of this. Thus, he didn\'t see a problem with being honest about the facts he had already accepted.

"But let\'s go back to the topic," Nial suddenly said as he pointed at the Spiritual Weapon once again.

"I guess you got the weapon from a dungeon. Was it a permanent one, or some unique temporary dungeon?" He asked in interest, hoping for it to be a permanent dungeon.

If it was one, he might be able to get his hands on some precious pieces of information by entering the dungeon.

"It was a temporary one," Gianna immediately answered. Nial responded to this with a sad expression that disappeared not long after. There was no need to be sulky, after all.

"Did it tell you information about what will happen on Jundra in the future, its land of origin or its previous master?" Nial enquired. He had many questions on his mind but Gianna was not able to tell Nial a lot.

This was a bit disappointing but Nial had expected that somehow. He shrugged his shoulders after half an hour had passed before he ended the discussion with a decisive sentence,

"Don\'t trust it too much!"

"O-okay…" Gianna answered hesitantly, not sure what Nial wanted from her. It was not like she would throw her Spiritual Weapon aside just because it may or may not be trustworthy in his eyes. However, she did take note of the fact that Nial had matured a bit.

At first glance, it may look like Nial was a bit childish and nosy, but the more she talked with him the weirder Gianna felt about him.

"Can you help me?" Nial\'s sudden question reached Gianna\'s ears, pulling her out of the train of thoughts she had been caught in.

"Help with what?" Gianna asked without hesitation when she got back to her senses. Miranda had already told her to search for Nial and help him in every possible way. Gianna hadn\'t been sure what exactly Nial needed help with but because Miranda had instructed her, there was no way that she would disobey the Old Witch.

"I just need permission to release my mana through the entire shelter," Nial asked straightforwardly while acting as if his demand was nothing special.

Gianna blinked several times questioning her entire existence before she took a few deep breaths.

"Just…Just?! You are definitely insane…" Gianna exclaimed, failing to control her emotions. Nial was not sure why she overreacted like that but it looked like he had asked something that was supposedly impossible.

However, it was not even ten seconds later that Gianna sprang up from her chair. She remembered something which changed her mood almost instantly.

"You won\'t be considered a terrorist now that you\'ve been promoted to become a nobleman and have that title…so it should be fine…I guess?" She mumbled before turning her attention back to Nial.

"For what reason do you need to release your mana through the entire shelter, though?" Gianna was confused. There shouldn\'t actually be a reason for Nial to feel the need to release his mana through the entire shelter. In fact, the shelter was way too large for anyone to achieve this, to begin with.

"I want to search for my family…" Nial answered but his mind was occupied with something else Gianna said a moment before, "...and what do you mean title and nobility?"

\'Is that why I received those stares all the time? And why did that little boy call me Dark Lord?\' He thought, recalling the civilians\' gazes of admiration.

The young mother\'s fear also now made sense to him. After all, every Original with a title given by the government was considered to be one of their many pillars, and a person with exceptional talent and power.

"Right, Miranda told me that you don\'t know about it yet," Gianna said as she clasped her hands together, smiling faintly. It was always great to deliver good news.

"After you saved the Elves and human Originals in the battle against the Dryx, the battle that we had almost lost, the President rewarded you with a title and the status of a nobleman. I don\'t know why exactly we suddenly added the nobility status after it had been abolished. But that shouldn\'t really matter to you," Gianna explained before adding something that attracted Nial\'s interest a bit,

"You were also rewarded with a small piece of land within the Forest of Life, and also a piece of land in the adjacent shelter that is going to be built. That is amazing isn\'t it?"

Nial was aware of the gift of the land inside the Forest of Life because the Elves had given it to him after the battle against the Dryx. It was the place where his wooden hut was built upon.

As for the land in the adjacent shelter, it was great that he had received something like that but it was not as if he would actually need it. Nial had no idea what he could use it for, right now. After all, he would stay in the Forest of Life to receive most gains until he would leave Jundra to participate in the U21 Runicier tournament.

But that was not something Gianna knew, which was why she was baffled when Nial accepted everything without a change in his expressions.

"That\'s good I guess, but whatever…I just want my family back," Nial commented upon hearing the good news. Gianna needed to take a few more deep breaths to calm down.

\'Nial wants to reunite with his family. He doesn\'t even realize how impressive the news is. Just bear with it!\' She told herself and slowly nodded her head.

"Alright, I will formally request permission to release your mana through the entire shelter. If you\'re lucky that will only take a few hours," Gianna finally said after she tried to start understanding Nial. This was much harder than expected as Gianna had no parents or other family members. Miranda was the closest to having a family for Gianna.

"That\'s great, thanks. Could you also exchange these few runic armaments with the highest quality Origin crystals you can find?" Nial asked after he felt sudden tiredness overwhelming him. The tension in his body was slowly being released and he knew that he had to rest.

Usually, he wouldn\'t ask Gianna for so many favors but Nial was barely able to keep his eyes open.

Gianna just nodded her head, expecting to see a bunch of ordinary ungraded runic armaments. She had already gotten her hands on a few ungraded runic weapons because Miranda had told her to keep herself updated on the progress of other human Runiciers.

However, the human Runiciers, if they could even be labeled as such, were not really great. Most somewhat talented Inscribers converted to become Runiciers and they progressed fast at first. Their progress slowed down after some time until it stagnated completely.

They didn\'t know what to focus practicing on, what to learn and which aspects had to be improved the most.

Without the necessary teachings and knowledge, it was hard to progress. Nial, Mathias, and Miranda had numerous books that replaced the need of having teachers for quite a while. Nonetheless, ever since Master Crevian had decided to teach them things had changed a lot. They improved much faster and that was clearly visible when Gianna ended up with a few of Nial\'s Tier-0 runic armaments in her hand.

"D-did…you create them?" Gianna asked in shock and was unable to hide her surprise as she looked at him in a stupor.

Nial merely nodded his head before he excused himself. He fell asleep on the couch in the living room within seconds, while Gianna still continued to look at him.

"What a monster…" She blurted out while a voice rang in her head out of nowhere,

[I agree…these runic weapons are…exceptional…are you sure that humans only found out about Runiciers and runic weapons a year ago?]

Gianna could only nod her head. She was not able to answer properly and felt like her entire body was covered in goosebumps. If she considered Nial as somewhat abnormal before, he was a total monster now.

"He is not only powerful enough to change the tides on a battlefield where Prometheus ranked Elves and Originals are fighting but he even has the necessary dexterity to create Tier-0 runic weapons…just who is he?!" Gianna was lost but she turned around to fulfill Nial\'s requests nonetheless.

He needed her help and she would help him regardless of who he was. It didn\'t really matter to Gianna because Miranda was the one, who had asked her to support Nial with everything he needed.

However, the Spiritual Weapon was not as unbothered as Gianna as its voice resounded in her head once again,

[Is he really not an Incarnation of a God…am I missing something?]
