Odyssey of the Blind God

Chapter 299 Heaven's Gates Headquarters



\'Why does she know so much?\' Nial was a bit shocked. He didn\'t have much to add to Gianna\'s storytelling, which made him feel as if she had been present at almost every event involving him.

"So you joined one of the deadliest military camps after we separated, you broke your arm, you were injured numerous times, the Witch of the South accepted you as her disciple, you started to learn about runic weapons, the Dryx attacked the military camp, and you came to Liondra afterward…. are you insane? Why would you join the deadliest military camp, to begin with?!

And then you were drafted to join the reclamation of the third shelter…where the Elves appeared all of a sudden. You approached them as if you were going to meet an old colleague, you befriended them and then you nearly died to save the Elves and the Forest of Life…like seriously…are you insane?" Maline screamed out loudly and was ready to beat some sense into her son. Nial had been in a coma for an entire month and had been rendered incapable of moving for a few additional weeks.

How could he endanger his life so often…didn\'t he think about his parents\' mental well-being at all?

Maline was fuming in anger, but in the end, she also understood that Nial had done everything to become stronger and be capable enough to find them as quickly as possible. Thus, guilt and regret filled her. She had forced her son to endure so much pain and to work tirelessly while it had been impossible for her and Miles to find the slightest clue about Nial\'s whereabouts.

Nial felt that his mother\'s mana fluctuations were in a mess right now. Her visualized expression was also distorted, which was why he tried to avert his focus somewhere else. His attention was on Gianna as goosebumps sprang up all over his body.

"How the hell do you know all of that? You are not stalking me, right?!" Nial blurted out, quickly covering his body with his hands. Gianna\'s lips twitched when she saw what Nial did,

"Don\'t be ridiculous, honey. Gianna is a good girl!" Maline suddenly remarked and lectured her son.

Nial just nodded his head before he felt Maline\'s fingers tightly grasping his earlobe.

"...and don\'t even think that you can escape my questions just because you feel uncomfortable answering them! Why did you do so many dangerous things?!" Maline was fully aware that her grilling session was useless. She knew the answer but couldn\'t accept it in the slightest.

Nial could tell that answering her question would make her mother even sadder. Thus, he remained silent for a few seconds before he recalled something else.

"Okay, Gianna is a good girl, just don\'t blame me for being suspicious," Nial laughed lightly before he turned more serious as a few seconds passed.

"By the way, mom, dad, do you want to come to the Forest of Life? Sabrina can come with us as well. That is if she wants to…but she might feel comfortable in the Heaven\'s Gates. That is if they treat her well. She may like her mentor or so…" He asked while his eyes were trained on his parents.

Nial was pretty sure that the Heaven\'s Gates organization would \'exchange\' his parents with Tier-0 runic armaments in the blink of an eye. Maline and Miles were not actually of any value to the Heaven\'s Gates organization and they were only \'protected\' and restricted because Kristine wanted to make sure that Sabrina\'s identity would remain a secret.

This had been a big downside for Nial because it had been impossible for him to contact his family but it was not as if he felt only hate toward the Heaven\'s Gates organization.

Even now, he was not sure how Sabrina\'s terminal illness had been cured. He was thankful to the Heaven\'s Gates organization for curing her, even though he hated the fact that they had kidnapped her and his family.

His life hadn\'t been easy but his family was more important to him than the inconvenience he had faced. As long as his parents and his sister were fine, Nial could even face genuine Gods!

"If it won\'t burden you, or be an inconvenience to you or Sabrina, we would love to follow you to the Forest of Life. We\'ve heard a bit about the Elves inside the Forest of Life and thought that it would be quite relaxing to live there…but I don\'t know what Sabrina will think about this…" Miles revealed his honest thoughts and Maline nodded her head. Maline remained silent but it was obvious that she worried a lot about her beloved daughter.

Sabrina might have been cured but life would never be easy, even less if all the rumors that spread through the shelters were to be believed.

"That\'s another reason why I want to see her. I will invite her to the Forest of Life as well, and she can come there whenever she doesn\'t have some important missions to participate in. The Forest of Life is the best place to absorb mana and conquer resourceful dungeons. I genuinely doubt that the Heaven\'s Gates organization doesn\'t plan to expand to the nearby shelter that is going to be built," Nial explained before he continued to speak with a smirk,

"I was rewarded some land in the new shelters which means that Sabrina, and both of you, mom and dad, can build your own comfortable place to live there as well. I can provide the funds for that as well."

Nial was quite nonchalant about money, especially since he could earn more than enough in an extremely short period. Creating Tier-0 runic armaments was not exactly difficult for him anymore and Nial\'s only issue was the lack of runic constellations.

Master Crevian demanded from Nial to be perfect with every new runic constellation he learned, and put a condition that he wouldn\'t be taught a new one unless he perfected the previous one. This was quite strict in his opinion but also somewhat understandable because Nial\'s foundation would be perfect as long as every runic constellation he learned was at a perfect grade, literally!

"So…we will be able to stay with both of you?" Maline asked with teary eyes. Her voice was shaking and Nial felt that he had said something wrong even though he knew he hadn\'t.

The entire situation was a bit weird but Nial could only nod his head.

"As long as neither Sabrina nor I have something to take care of, we will be with you…and dad, of course," Nial answered with a faint smile.

\'I cannot really tell them that I need to focus on becoming a full-fledged Runicier in the next 13 months and that I will leave Jundra for an unknown amount of time afterward, can I?\' He thought while feeling a bit conflicted.

Nial had just reunited with his family and considering his mother\'s mental state, it was definitely not the best move to tell her that he would leave soon, or that he didn\'t have much time to spend with them.

In the end, It was all for their good but that was not something Nial would tell them, not now.

He chose to work hard and become strong enough to allow the entire human race to grow and survive. With their survival, it was more likely for his family to be able to survive as well.

However, advancing mankind\'s overall strength was not enough for him because Nial needed to be powerful as an individual to protect his family from every calamity that would unleash itself on the planet the moment Jundra\'s planetary mana core would awaken!

They kept talking non-stop and it was not long before Nail began to relax. Since he had been separated from his family, life had been extremely hard for him. However, now that he had reunited with his parents, everything seemed to have become much easier.

The tension in his entire body was released and he was finally able to breathe in relief. There was no need for him to pressure himself anymore because he could tell that his family was doing fine. They were healthy and Nial didn\'t think that it would be a problem for them to move to the Forest of Life.

When Kirlia sent him a message, Nial tensed up for a second before he calmed down moments after he visualized the message in his mind.

[Your sister is still in the headquarters. Come over, if you want to see her. You can bring your parents as well. They can do whatever they want according to my superior. If you want to, you can bring them to the Forest of Life. The Heaven\'s Gates organization has nothing against this.]

Nial smiled when he read the message and he got up from the comfortable chair.

"Kirlia messaged me. We can go over to see Sabrina," He said calmly and Maline jumped up from the chair at once.

"Finally, I can see my baby girl again!" Maline clenched her fist with a bright smile on her face. Miles smiled as well when he got up from the chair.

\'Looks like they weren\'t able to see Sabrina often\' Nial thought, not trying to hide that he was a bit sad about that. If the Heaven\'s Gates kidnapped his entire family, they should have the decency to let them stay together, at the very least.

But it was not as if Nial knew how his family had been treated by the Heaven\'s Gates organization. He was just biased against them, which was why his mind was running wild whenever he picked up something new.

Leaving Gianna behind, they left Miranda\'s mansion and got into a shuttle that brought them in front of the Heaven\'s Gates headquarters.

The entire building was isolated with the use of various unique isolation arrays. They were quite powerful but none of them was perfect. Their potency was much lower than the most ordinary runic constellations as well. However, this was advantageous for Nial because it allowed him to perceive everything nonetheless.

As long as he used bits of mana to activate and sustain his innate ability [Mana Sense], Nial was able to perceive and visualize everything in his surroundings.

The Heaven\'s Gates organization was a huge skyscraper whose outer walls were made of darkened glass. The darkened glass had a very high mana conductivity which was how the entire headquarter was able to block off most surveillance abilities that were used by nosy Originals or spies.

"Nial, you\'re finally here!" Kirlia said impatiently as she stepped out of the building. She rushed over to him and wanted to pull him inside but Nial just stepped aside when she reached for him.

His entire focus was directed at the entrance of the Heaven\'s Gates organization, where two veiled women were standing.

One was Hana, whom Nial recognized immediately and the other one caused Nial to smile brightly.

When the second veiled woman saw Nial\'s smile she froze for a second before she turned into a flash.

The veiled woman smashed straight into Nial, nearly knocking him over as her terrifyingly high physical strength impacted on him like a cannonball.

"Looks like you became a tad stronger, sis,"
