Nial turned back to his friends when he was done giving Yves a short glimpse of his might.

Intimidating the young Original was not further difficult, which was why Nial could subdue him easily.

Afterward, he walked toward the ancient ruins with the others.

Yves was left behind with a dumbfounded expression but nobody truly cared about this.

The way he had insulted them after they denied his offer had left a sour taste in their mouth, especially in the case of Nial, which made the usually calm blind youth react.

There was something he had left out in his offer because it was certain that he didn't need their help.

Every participant of the Teradan military camp was strong in their own respective way.

As such, Yves ought to have more than enough capable Originals by his side.

He was someone who attracted many people, and his connections were no joke.

Nial had no idea about Yves' lineage or family background but it made no difference to him.

In his opinion, connections were not important enough to make friends with someone, whose ideals and thoughts didn't match his own.

There was only a small number of people that Nial didn't like, and Yves had made to the list due to his behavior in the short talk they had just moments ago.

Shaking his head, Nial tried to free his mind of the frustration, while both Bella and Mathias looked displeased as well.

Nial clearly sensed their mana fluctuations but instead of feeling even more frustrated than before, he began to smile faintly.

'It's good to see that we're on the same page in that regard!'

"Shall we start plundering now?" He thus asked his heart and mind at ease.

"Yeah, let's go!" Mathias replied followed by Bella who nodded her head.

She averted her entire focus on the surrounding which was important because they entered the area of the ancient ruins dungeon that was not thoroughly explored.

Nial was able to perceive everything, including the Originals in his range of perception, the monsters, and every single plant in his surrounding area followed by the rough outlines and structure of huge ruins.

While the area the dungeon portal was located at was a plain, they were now inside a jungle. The ancient ruins were well hidden under the cover of the huge jungle trees that could be perceived everywhere around him.

It was not difficult to see the dilapidated condition of the ancient ruins. Vines had grown inside the now broken walls of the once tall structures that had crumpled partially.

If one were to keep looking at the ruins, it would be possible to perceive that they were not even that 'old'.

At the first glance, one might think that they were several centuries old and that nature had slowly overtaken the plot that had once belonged to a thriving society.

But the more one paid attention to the details, the exact opposite would come to one's notice, with the sole common factor being that nature took back what had once belonged to it.

While Nial tried to perceive everything down to the finest detail, Bella and Mathias couldn't help themselves anymore.

They were overwhelmed by the ginormous structure of the ancient ruins.

Not only did it feel like they were about to enter a ginormous palace in the deepest parts of an even larger jungle, but there were numerous rather small, villa-sized structures that surrounded the palace, forming a loose circle around it.

"Let's take a look inside the villa, or whatever this is first!" Bella said with a faint glint in her eyes.

Her interest in the 'small' structures was quite obvious. This was even more so when they could see that many monsters were crowded around the villa.

"We can do that. There are Goblins inside, by the way." Nial's voice was quite calm.

He could control his excitement quite well for now because he was able to tell that the towers, breadth and length were the same as the size of a villa, and were incomparable to the palace in terms of the materials used to construct it.

The rather big and large towers were in a far worse condition than the palace itself.

But even then, the Goblins around the tower interested him. Thus, he quickly circulated mana through his body before pushing his feet off the ground.

With a single stride, Nial was able to cross several meters.

He then outstretched his hand, and the Viper Spear manifested in it a moment later.

Afterward, Nial coated the Viper Spear in the dark energy that he manifested in an instant.

Moments later the dark energy that had enveloped his spear detached itself under Nial's control.

Several blades of darkness formed around the Viper spear. They revolved around the weapon's blade and could be shot out at an instant.

However, releasing the darkness blade was not what Nial was planning to do.

Blasting ahead, he crossed the distance of 500 meters in no time and emerged close to the huge tower.

Only then was Nial able to sense the number of Goblins that resided outside and inside the tower.

There were far more Goblins than he had expected, but that did not make him want to back off.

Rather, most Goblins were only at the 6th Origin rank, and only a handful of those was stronger. There were quite a few Lesser Shaman Goblins as well.

But even that was not something that could make Nial hesitate.

He was calm and composed as he emerged behind the first Goblin. They barely heard him near them as he had moved with cat-like grace and speed, letting them not even realize that he was slowly advancing towards them.

A simple and well targeted stab was enough to kill the first Goblin before he continued to advance.

His movement seemed slow from an outsider's perspective, but for the one receiving the spear thrust, it was as if a bullet train was shoved right into their face.

And the worst was that the Goblin couldn't even deflect the attack properly.

One of the next Goblins tried to deflect his spear thrust. However, the moment their blades collided, the blades of darkness pierced out like extending claws.

The sight of six darkness blades piercing the body of their comrade scared most Goblins.

However, they were incapable of thinking of retreating and leaving their stronghold.

Instead of backing off, they attempted to push forward, and overwhelm Nial with all their might.

Yet, the moment Nila perceived the number of attackers, he changed the form of the Viper spear.

Not only did he release the glaive form of the Viper spear but the darkness blades changed as well.

They enlarged, making it seem as if the Viper spear was comparable to a cross between a glaive and a scythe.

Some darkness blades were curved like a scythe, while others were simply an extended glaive blade.

The weapon's structure looked somewhat crude, but it would do fine for now.

He brandished the Viper spear through the air. Gusts of wind splashed in everyone's face, just for Nial's expression to turn solemn as he brandished the weapon at the dozens of Goblins that had entered the range of the spear.

Slicing through the hide, blood, bones, and organs of his opponents, the Viper spear never seemed to stop.

The manifested blades that had been made out of dark energy were razor-sharp just as Nial imagined them to be.

Morphing into his desired shape, the dark energy he controlled was close to perfection.

But that was only normal. After all, his control over the dark energy had forcefully been enhanced during the Trial of the Gods.

At the same time, the dark energy had been powerful enough to kill the Lesser Titan youngling and that was even before he gained a better proficiency with the dark energy!

Thus, the opponents he faced right now were not even close to being strong enough to block his advance.

Even if they were to be stronger, Nial was not scared to face more powerful opponents.

Rather, this would turn into a perfect opportunity because he had yet to test out his new strength!!

While Nial was massacring his way through the rows of Goblins, Bella and Mathias stared at him with widened eyes.

"I could tell that his control over his dark energy had improved, but…isn't that a little bit too much?!" Mathias asked quietly, feeling a little bit conflicted.

Nial was only at the 3rd Origin rank, but it almost looked like 7th Origin rank monsters were merely ants in the face of his dark energy.

But even without dark energy, Mathias was pretty sure that Nial's movements were smoother than ever before.

There was not the slightest flaw in his movement that made him wonder if Nial was in a simulation, or if there was some divine intervention.

After all, Nial moved before his opponent did, reading their body language to tell where they would be turning to next.

That allowed Nial to be at the correct position at the right timing to brandish his cruel-looking self-made weapon at his opponents.

"We…have to grow stronger…much stronger as quickly as possible…" Bella declared, not expecting any kind of answer from Mathias.

While Mathias was baffled by Nial's strength, Bella's heart was beating wildly at the sight of the dark energy.

Earlier she hadn't given this feeling much importance, but ever since Nial had returned from his Innate ability's trial, his dark energy was starting to worry her a little bit.

Or rather than her being worried in her entirety, it was more than her own Innate trait was telling her that the dark energy was dangerous and that she should retreat, or kill Nial as long as he was still weak!

Bella had never felt like this before, but neither did she want to retreat, nor kill Nial.

Even if her Innate ability was telling her the truth, Nial was a good person. He was a much better human than she thought about herself.

As such, Bella could not even imagine doing something to Nial, whether it was in the present or the future.

How could Bella know that her path and that of Nial's were tightly intertwined, that the fine line between being on the same side, and being mortal enemies could be crossed with one mistake…or misstep.

How could she know that their future would be far more devastating than she could ever imagine?
