The Martial art technique [Weaponry of Ten Thousand Nights], the Movement technique [Grasp of Eclipse], and the customized Cultivation technique [Vortex of Abyss] were immediately given to Nial as soon as he demanded them.

A massive amount of detailed information flooded his mind, giving him a brief overview of the technique and what it would take to deepen his understanding of it. Nial was not too sure how long it took to digest the provided information but what he could tell was that his combat prowess and progress were bound to improve drastically.

As long as his Mana Sea would be altered and become the Sea of Darkness, it wouldn\'t be difficult for his cultivation progress to increase fourfold. The only thing he had to work on was to get more proficient with exerting the cultivation technique, Vortex of Abyss.

That was good to know and it provided enough motivation for him to feel like starting the alteration of his Mana Sea right off the bat.

However, instead of doing it immediately, Nial would return to the Halheim shelter first. He had to check out his home, figure out if the Dracos were being mistreated, and take a look at a few more things.

Nial felt that this was more important than rushing his advancement. It might be necessary for him to increase his strength as quickly as possible but it was also a fact that he had no idea what was going on back home.

But even if he wanted to rush to his home, he readied himself to be bombarded with the memories of the Late God of Darkness. Nial knew that he would only be given a portion of memories, not all of them, but that was probably for the best.

Receiving a ton of memories that summarized the life of an existence who had lived for eons and experienced much more than most beings would ever do was not exactly what Nial was looking forward to. He could tell that Damian\'s life hadn\'t been easy and that most of his memories were bad or filled with war.

Accepting this fact and preparing his mind for it made things a lot easier for Nial as the memories began to surge in his mind. At first, the memories felt like a tidal wave of blazing flames that were forcing their way through the barricades of Nial\'s mental defenses. However, this feeling changed quickly. The blazing flames turned into a soothing feeling that caused his brain to relax enough to accept and welcome the memories that entered his mind.

The memories belonged to different eras and it felt like they were focused on the creation process of the three techniques Nial had obtained what felt like minutes ago.

\'To prevent my brain from going into a breakdown, the memories are imprinted in my mind but they will only slowly surface to let me have a look at them when I need them the most, or when I have the necessary time to do so…and what is that knowledge?\'

Nial was astonished by what he felt. It was almost like the memories of Damian\'s life belonged to him, as if he was the rightful owner. The knowledge that had been acquired by the late God of Darkness entered his mind and the pieces of information were devoured in an instant.

Nial was not sure how much time passed but he felt much better when he was done digesting the information. His mind was overflowing with interesting information and he wanted to decode it all right away but it was about time for Nial to return to the shelter.

There was no need to waste his precious time in the domain of the Late God of Darkness. He could return to Damian in order to alter his Mana Sea at any time, either way.

With that thought in mind, Nial was thrown out of the Late God of Darkness\' realm. He returned to the Forest of Life as a fragrant smell entered his nostrils, and the familiar noises of the fauna residing there reached his ears.

Taking a deep breath, he spread out his range of perception and Mana Sense to figure out where everyone was and what the current situation looked like.

Nial spend two minutes analyzing his surroundings and ensuring that everything was fine. Once he was reassured he headed towards his organizations where Master Crevian and a few other Elves were currently holding their lectures. A bunch of Dracos had also been assigned to hold lectures which they seemed to be doing quite well.

Overall, Nial visualized a rather pleasant situation. But that may only be what he visualized and not what everyone actually thought.

That was also why he was briefed about everything that had happened in the few days he had been away, including the reaction of the citizens.

Melheim Zorn gave him a rough summary of the current turn of events which was very helpful for Nial.

"So basically, most citizens are skeptical due to the trauma caused by the Linaton race\'s ambassadors that left a deep scar of distrust on the minds of beings of other races? However, they\'re not openly saying anything because the Dracos are backed up by our organizations…which means that the citizens are either afraid, or they trust us.

And the government stopped trying to find ways how to push the Dracos away once they realized that every single member of the Dracos Army is an exceptional working force.

That leaves the human organizations and the hidden organizations created by other races. They don\'t want a hundred thousand Dracos to intercept their plans, which is kind of obvious. Thus, they\'re trying to sabotage us." Nial concluded which was affirmed by Melheim Zorn, who carefully added,

"The rebels of the Shelturion race heard about the Dracos as well and they\'re showing interest in the Dracos\' products, saying that they could accelerate their own manufacturing capacity manyfold as long as they received a few devices created by the master smiths of the Draco race!"

Melheim was speaking in a careful tone because Nial seemed to be on the edge ever since he had returned. Even if Melheim didn\'t intend to attack Nial, it felt like his leader was ready to enter some war at any moment.

Nial seemed to be ready to wage war but there was no opponent to fight. Something about Nial had changed during the last few days, which Melheim noticed first as one of the few people who was often around Nial.

However, the change didn\'t seem to be unwelcome. In fact, Melheim was pretty sure that the change in Nial\'s attitude was something good.

Nial may act a little bit hasty if something didn\'t go according to his plan, but the result of his actions had always been positive. That was also why Nial believed that his plans would always work out. He didn\'t even think about reconsidering most of his plans in the past simply because he had been too confident in his own capabilities.

This unwavering confidence was still present but something about it seemed to have changed, in a good way.

Nial was much calmer than before and he reconsidered different options rather than choosing a single way to solve any given predicament.

"To sum up the situation, what do you think should we do?" Nial even asked Melheim, despite having a rough plan in mind.

"...how about we build our own shelter?"
