Nial adjusted to the changes within his body while talking to Melheim. He would receive the newest reports tomorrow because Nial\'s sudden appearance interrupted the workflow, however, that was more than fine.

The Draco Leader had yet to return with the Greater Forest Dragon egg, which meant that he had more than enough time to adapt to the changes and regain control of his body so as to ensure that the Army of Dracos would never want to leave his side ever again.

Melheim\'s information was as useful as ever. The pieces of information he received were detailed enough to tell Nial everything he had to know, but they were also succinctly summarized so as to not drag things out.

That way, Nial found out everything necessary and could leave Melheim\'s office just an hour later.

He tried to expand his Mana Sense with the use of dark energy but it didn\'t work out as planned.

\'Looks like my Innate Ability has changed quite a bit as well…it seems as if I have to change a few things…\'

Nial didn\'t think too much about the change in his Innate ability and he gave Ryu a heads-up about his return via their soul link.

The Darkness Gryphon responded in excitement and it was only seconds later that Ryu landed in the middle of their plot of land before rushing toward his master.

Ryu chirped in excitement as he threw himself onto Nial, who didn\'t resist. He fell to the ground with a thud but it didn\'t really hurt. Nonetheless, the Darkness Gryphon stared at his master in confusion and tilted his head from left to right when he registered that many things about Nial had changed.

He chirped out over and over again and Nial nodded his head.

"Yes, many things changed, but I\'m back now!" Nial responded after listening intently to his monster companion.

There were a few things he wanted to test out but the first thing he did was to make sure that his father was doing fine. Storing the excessive dark energy he had subconsciously created and absorbed inside his Heart of Darkness allowed him to move without issues. It was not easy to control his dark energy right now but the suctioning force of his Heart of Darkness was quite powerful, which made things much easier.

The Sea of Darkness and the darkness veins had yet to completely fuse and become an integral part of his body but that didn\'t mean he couldn\'t use his Heart of Darkness.

Once he reached the wooden hut inside the Forest of Life, Nial immediately noticed that his senses had changed a little bit. To be precise, Nial could sense the life force of the entire Forest of Life with much more clarity than before. The change was drastic and it was something he didn\'t expect to encounter, especially since his Mana Sea had become a Sea of Darkness.

The Fairies\' Blessing that had been engraved on his Mana Core should have been somewhere in his Mana Sea before it had been altered. That was also why Nial expected the Fairies\' Blessing to be altered as well, which was precisely what happened.

The Fairies\' Blessing had changed but not in the way Nial expected. Rather than becoming the opposite of what it was right now, the Blessing was reinforced manyfold. It felt almost as if the Blessing had evolved to the next stage and that it enhanced his connection to the essence of life itself.

\'Damn…That is insane…\'

Nial\'s mind went blank for a while as he closed his eyes while standing in the middle of the Forest of Life. Life force surged inside him, invigorating every single cell within Nial\'s body that began to absorb more and more mana from the surrounding area, devouring it hungrily.

His body\'s functions were enhanced drastically due to the life force and the mana that entered his body could only be considered a huge mass. It was altered and turned into dark energy which Nial was trying to control but failed miserably.

\'Even when I awoke my Origin, I never went through so much trouble…that\'s so annoying!\'

Nial continued to use his Heart of Darkness to absorb every bit of dark energy within his body. He wouldn\'t lose it and could just use it when he got a better hang of everything.

He could spend some quality time with his father who seemed busier than every single other origin human in the Halheim shelter but he was finally at home. Nial wouldn\'t waste the precious time he could spend with his father in doing some trivial task. His father was the only family he had around, apart from his sister who was busy carving out a path for herself.

Neither the tie against Dilan, which felt more like a shameful defeat, if Nial were to be honest with himself nor the fact that Damian had told him about his family, precisely that they were all dead and that his eyes had been special before they were taken from him.

Unfortunately, his father didn\'t have much time to spend with him because he was on a secret mission. Nial was not sure what Princess Evalyne was doing with his father, but nowadays Miles was always on missions outside the shelters, traveling around doing something.

He didn\'t even answer Nial about what he was doing when Nial tried to ask about his well-being and remained extremely mysterious. It was frustrating in a certain way but it was not as if Nial didn\'t keep any secrets from his father.

Nial wanted to know more about the race he hailed from, and what happened to it. Considering that he was already alive at that time because his vision was forcefully snatched away, his race must have been massacred less than 30 years ago.

That gave Nial a good starting point to find out more about the race he came from.

However, before he would do his research, he spent the days after Miles departed to make sure that his body, darkness veins, and his Sea of Darkness would be fully fused.

Controlling dark energy through his darkness veins became much easier, and easy enough for him to regain his old strength and enough control to start inscribing runic constellations once again.

Nial was eager to do so because he learned about many runic constellations from Damian\'s memories. The runic constellations belonged to a time and era where Runiciers were rare.

Damian created many runic constellations with his own knowledge of the Universe\'s Law but never bothered to write down his comprehension of the runic constellations. He never passed on his knowledge of a Runicier to anyone, which meant that Nial was the only one to know about the most crucial information that was directly related to Damian\'s memories and creations.

It was hard to replicate the runic constellations without the said knowledge, which turned Nial into the only tutor the Dracos could find. Nial exploited this opportunity to the extreme and found new ways to make sure to turn them into his \'underlings\' by promising them to teach more about the runic constellations he would soon reveal.

Others might try to copy his runic constellations but that was not even possible during Damian\'s era either.

Thus, Nial was quite confident to have found great leverage over the curious Draco race.

The only thing he had to do to make sure that the Dracos Leader would reconsider staying in the Halheim shelter, or anywhere Nial would go, which meant that he had to show off his knowledge and power.

\'When you come back, things will have changed, Dracos Leader!\'
