Odyssey of the Blind God
Chapter 195 The Most Impatient

Miranda revealed a lot of crucial information to Mathias while they were seated on the couch in the living room.

The information was extremely precious and very detailed, to the extent that even Gianna, who was more knowledgable than any ordinary butler, wasn't aware of most of it before.

Mathias asked a few questions about the information he had just obtained and Miranda answered them calmly.

She had calmed down after seeing that Mathias had accepted that it would take quite a while to finish creating his first Advanced Origin ring.

It was obvious that Mathias didn't want to rely on the protection of others anymore and that he wanted to become strong enough to protect himself best as quickly as possible.

Unfortunately, creating several Origin rings was not something one could do that easily, let alone in a short period.

While the time Mathias needed to create his first Advanced Origin ring was already bothersome to him, he couldn't even imagine how Nial would react when he would replace out about all the intel he had just gotten to know.

"Nial will probably flip out…not that I don't want to see this, but I think he is even less patient than I am when it comes to the topic of getting stronger…"

Mathias didn't hide his opinion from Miranda. She had become their teacher and the information Miranda had shared with them was not only extremely important and precious but partially also extremely dangerous.

Trying to advance in a hasty manner would definitely make them brave dangers, and increase the possibility of making mistakes and it was not likely that things would get even worse by potentially being unable to enter a focused state.

Driven by impatience was certainly not good even if in an odd way, it was extremely helpful if one wanted to get stronger.

The desire to attain more strength provided enough motivation to work harder, strive for more, and to keep advancing without delay as long as one possessed the necessary means.

However, this desire could backfire as well, which was why someone like Nial would have to keep himself under control.

"Why should Nial be even more impatient as you? I know that he wants to become stronger but isn't it for the same reason as you- to protect yourself from the increasing danger of the dungeons? And, of course, to counter the danger that comes along with the mana awakening of the planetary core.

I already know that runic armaments will accelerate the mana awakening of the planetary core, so you guys shouldn't worry too much. Let the elders take care of you for the next few years until you learn to walk on your feet!"

Miranda didn't know everything about Nial. In fact, even Mathias was actually not sure what exactly Nial desired.

He only knew that Nial's expression was both filled with love and a trace of sadness whenever he talked about his family.

Thus, he made up a few theories about what had potentially happened.

But it was not Mathias but Gianna, who explained to Miranda why he was worried about Nial's impatience.

"I'm sorry for interfering, Master, but I think I can answer your question."

Gianna had yet to report what had happened in the Black market, including the incident in the dark alley.

She hadn't received a chance to do so yet. That was why she started speaking the moment Miranda motioned her to start speaking instead of wasting time by asking for permission.

Gianna completed her report of their Black market visit in less than two minutes. Miranda's expression didn't change at all while Mathias was slightly baffled.

'So Nial defeated several Prym ranked Originals while I was sitting here, listening to Miranda?! Even if they had only created Intermediate Origin rings, isn't Nial advancing too fast??'

He clenched his fist as his determination to become stronger than Nial fueled him and he got up from his seat. Miranda looked at him for a moment but she was in deep thoughts and didn't think that it was necessary to say anything else to Mathias.

His expression was firm, revealing his determination to become stronger.

'As long as he doesn't rush it, everything will be fine…but Mathias doesn't seem to be the problem here…'

Miranda never expected Nial to be the impatient one out of the small batch of disciples she had accepted on a whim.

Nial always seemed mature, fully focused, and striving to become stronger.

However, only now did she get a grasp of the situation.

'Eclipse Assassins…kidnapping of families…' She thought in her mind while trying to recall the information about Nial's family background.

'His parents were both Originals. Their potential is extremely low and there is nothing special about them. Compared to them, Nial is a God-like talent…but either way…his sister is more important.

She is two years younger than him and has been announced terminally ill. The doctors the Orin family was able to consult with their non-existent background and wealth were of no help, but that is only obvious…

It looks like there is something unique about his sister, which was why they had been kidnapped by the Eclipse Assassins. They probably brought them to the Heaven's Gates Organization and Nial wants to replace out more information about their whereabouts…

That…is troublesome.'

Miranda didn't really feel much while compiling the facts she got to know with the information she already knew.

After she had come up with a theory of her own that seemed highly plausible, it was not further difficult for her to figure out what Nial's plan was and why he was impatient to become stronger.

His family was the most important to Nial and he wouldn't be able to forgive himself if something were to happen to them.

That was why he had to get to know more intel. He hadn't even been able to hold back for another minute and went straight to the Black market the moment he arrived in Liondra.

'Now everything makes sense. Even before he had been interested in the Eclipse Assassins. I guess he believed that his family was with them.

Now that he found out about the existence of the Heaven's Gates Organization, he will think that his strength has to increase exponentially and that it is necessary for him to save his family before another tragedy like the infiltration of Dryx will befall mankind again.

Nial has, by far, most information about too many things mankind is oblivious to. It is only obvious that he is worried about the future and the intention of the Heaven's Gates Organization when his Innate ability shares various memories with him…'

The more she thought about it, the easier it was to determine that Nial was truly the most worrisome of her disciples.

However, at the same time, time was not working against her, which was why Miranda could keep her calm.

"I get it now. Fortunately, Nial will need a few months before he will enter the 10th Origin rank. His mana core is already larger than the mana core of an ordinary Original at the 10th Origin rank, and he still needs to undergo three additional enlargings.

Let us not even talk about creating a Superior Origin ring for now as reaching the 10th Origin rank itself will take up lots of his time."

Even if Gianna didn't know that Nial's mana core was a lot bigger than that of others, she had already figured that Nial's mana core was everything but normal-sized.

Thus, she was not very surprised about the revelation.

However, there was one point all of them were slightly bothered about; Nial's impatience and the fact that he needed to get stronger, which was a fact.

'With the amount of mana Nial will possess once he reaches the 10th Origin rank, wouldn't he need, at least, 5 years to create his first Superior Origin ring?' Mathias suddenly thought, knowing that the duration was far too long for Nial's liking.

A Superior Origin ring might be manifold stronger and more efficient than an Advanced Origin ring, but the time needed to create a single one was simply way too long.

If things progressed as rapidly for mankind as it was currently the case due to the various incidents that had happened in the last few months, it was unknown what kind of problems mankind would face in five years.

In the worst case, they might even cease to exist because their strength would not allow them to keep up with the dangers dungeon portals posed.

While even Gianna began to worry a little bit about Nial's impatience, simply because it would be a shame for someone with as much potential as the young blind man to ruin his future, the man, who the three were talking about was oblivious to everything.

Worrying about being impatient was not even the last thing on his mind. He had read more than enough information about Originals, who had failed to advance to the Prym rank because they were too impatient.

He knew that it was necessary for him to get much stronger, as quickly as possible but nobody said that it was necessary to focus on one's mana core to get stronger.

The moment he reached the 10th Origin rank, Nial would be stronger than an Original with one Intermediate Origin ring.

As long as he used his Curse [Hodur's Heir], his Innate ability [Mana Sense] and the Odyssey seed properly, it wouldn't even be problematic to defeat someone with one Advanced Origin ring, let alone two Intermediate Origin rings.

It might be possible for Prym-ranked Originals to bind a second ability to their mana core, but Nial was already in possession of multiple abilities if one wanted to put it like that.

That was why it was not really a necessity for him to put unnecessary pressure on himself to advance faster.

Nonetheless, Nial had never planned on spending five years to create his first Origin ring in the first place.

He had other plans and both the Ciran taria and the Control of the Ancient Monarch technique would help him tremendously to prevent wasting his precious time!

After all, he found something within the manual of the Control of the Ancient Monarch technique; hidden pages that were untraceable by the senses and impossible to perceive under normal circumstances!

Nial didn't know when he was able to perceive the seal on the last page of the manual but one day when he was reading through the second stage of the Control of the Ancient Monarch's manual, his Mana Sense imprinted something weird in his mind.

It had been a previously blank page that revealed a goldish, almost invisible seal which he could only unseal by reaching a perfect mastery with the Control of the Ancient Monarch technique.

However…in order to achieve this, Nial would have to advance to the 10th Origin rank simply because the last stage of the technique required a tremendous amount of mana to be utilized at once.

Being at the 10th Origin rank was not even enough to practice the last stage of the technique but with some help, it should be possible.

Nial was certain about that, which was why he was ready to go all-out using the Ciran taria technique!

But then again…Nial couldn't be sure that his wealth was enough to pay up for the Origin crystals he needed to…reach the 10th Origin rank…to reach a perfect mastery with the Control of the Ancient Monarch technique…and to create his first Superior Origin ring!

'Looks like I need to start conquering dungeons again…and to learn how runic armaments are created!'
