Chapter 276 Mysterious Little Bastard



Spreading rumors that could be believed easily without creating a mass panic was much harder than they could have expected.

That was also why they said that they would hold some meetings to make sure what they would reveal the rumors including the details of what would be too scary for the public.

In the end, Nial had to leave the others before his body warned him that he was not yet ready to move around freely. Blood trickled out of his nose, attracting everyone\'s attention.

"We will talk later, you should rest first!" Miranda suggested, and everyone else agreed. Just a moment later, Nial was pulled back by one of the Elves, who were still inside the wooden hut, trying to tend to Nial\'s injuries.

"Okayyy…just do whatever you guys want. I will be back in no time," Nial\'s voice came out as a croak while he was taken away and forced to rest by being put to bed again.

"Please stay in bed for the next two weeks. Your body seems to heal much faster than we expected but your condition is unique. If you don\'t heal properly, you might suffer from permanent damages." The Elf, who spoke to him was serious and he was in no mood for listening to his grumbling.

Nial just nodded his head upon seeing his reaction and smiled faintly. He could tell that the Elf meant it well, and Nial felt that his body truly needed a break.

In the last few weeks, and even months, Nial had never really taken a break, so it was fine if he were to rest now that it was really necessary.

He closed his eyes and fell asleep in seconds. Meanwhile, the others left the wooden hut. They met up somewhere else to have their first meeting.

"First, we have to figure out who we can trust. If we reveal some rumors to an Incarnation of a God the situation might escalate and it could become very dangerous very quickly," Miranda suggested, her fingers nervously tapping on the large wooden table in front of her.

"So we need to figure out who we can trust, what information we should reveal when we should reveal them, and how we can twist the truth to reveal everything necessary so as to motivate the people to work hard instead of falling into a state of mass panic…great, if it\'s only that…" Kirlia spoke sarcastically and gave a mirthless chuckle.

Right now, trusting any Prometheus Original felt like a mistake to her.

Each of them could be an Incarnated God, who was scheming and trying to reach an advantageous state, where they could continue to grow and allow their race to teleport to Jundra.

Incarnated Gods could also be at a lower rank than the Prometheus rank. However, it was more likely that Incarnated Gods were the strongest because their knowledge and experiences would allow them to advance much faster.

The body they incarnated in would have tremendous potential as well. This would make it much easier to advance in the ranks.

Thus, all Prometheus Originals were excluded from the list of trusted aids, for the time being.

Time passed quickly, and the first meeting ended, without any fruitful result.

But none of them was disappointed. They talked a lot and based on the information at their hands, they made a list of possible rumors they could spread.

In the following days, they held a meeting every single day. They slowly progressed but it would take a while until they would reach a final result.

Nial slept a lot, and he got completely bored of resting and recuperating from his injuries for an entire week.

The Ankh was still healing him. Nial supplied it with a bit of his mana every now and then.

However, after an entire week had passed he began to absorb the surrounding mana. Nial was too bored and irritated to sit idle and do nothing.

He created mana droplets and used them to create the outlines of the second Ancient Origin ring. The second Ancient Origin ring was much harder to create than the first one, even though the framework was almost the exact same. It took only 30% more mana drops to be created.

But Nial wouldn\'t even notice the increase of 30% because his affinity to mana had increased by much more than 30% after he advanced to the 1st Ancient Mirae rank.

For Nial, it wouldn\'t be a problem to finish the framework of the second Ancient Origin ring. As for the runic constellations, he would have to inscribe, they were a completely different matter altogether.

Nial was sure that he was capable of inscribing the correct runic constellations in a perfect manner. The only downside was that it would require lots of time, and even more practice on armaments or papers to make sure that everything would be fine.

The creation of the primary Ancient Origin ring was already quite difficult. Combining all the runic constellations to form a giant one was not easy and sometimes Nial himself wondered how he had done it.

His memories were fuzzy whenever he tried to remember the last few minutes before he finished creating the primary Ancient Origin ring.

According to the information stated in the Control of the Ancient Monarch technique, this was quite normal. Apparently, the creator\'s memories would be blurred to prevent the technique\'s hidden pages from being revealed to the public.

To prevent the knowledge of the technique from spreading, blurring one\'s memories was a necessary evil. However, Nial didn\'t like it because it made things more difficult for him.

If he couldn\'t remember what exactly he did to give the finishing touches to the primary Ancient Origin ring, it was not possible for him to know whether he repeated the correct process when he would work on the second Ancient Origin ring.

\'With enough practice, I will be fine,\' Nial ended up telling himself before he returned his focus to staying inside the bed and absorbing mana from his surroundings.

He was still not sure who the new Elves were, but there were roughly 30 Elves, who had come as reinforcement for the 300 Elves, who had survived the attack of the Dryx.

The entire fight against the Dryx was a disaster, but if one had to find one positive point, it was probably the bond between the human and Elven race that had been created.

The Elves were still a bit judgemental, and it was obvious that the human Originals wanted to gain benefits in exchange for the help they\'d provided, but one could tell that the relationship between the two races was slowly but steadily improving.

Nial talked a bit to the Elvingar Elves, which was what they called themselves, but they were rather difficult to approach.

Their entire body language told Nial that they were difficult to get close to. However, that was fine with him. Nial didn\'t want to become their best friend either.

He just wanted to figure out what the meaning of the prefix "Elvingar" in their name meant.

But even that was not something they told him.

\'Mysterious little bastards,\' Nial could only think, smiling faintly. He didn\'t mean to insult them seriously. Yet, sometimes, he wished to tell them off for acting shrewd.

All the Elves were way too tense, acting as if the entire world might break apart at any moment.

After a total of three weeks passed, Nial\'s body was fully recuperated, and a small portion of the secondary Ancient Origin ring\'s framework had been created as well.

Nial felt perfectly fine with circulating mana through his body. He released some dark energy as well to make sure that it wouldn\'t damage his body.

"After summoning Kaeldur, I can even sense the Essence of Darkness within the Odyssey seed. So all the pain I went through provided more advantages than Silvian\'s death and taking away the trace of Cursed Divine energy," Nial spoke lightly to himself while testing out a few things.

He couldn\'t control the Essence of Darkness, let alone the Cursed Divine energy. Both were energies that exceeded his capabilities by far. The fight against Silvian revealed the Essence of Darkness to Nial. It was the first and also the last time the Odyssey seed would let loose the Essence of Darkness before Nial was ready for it.

If not for his unbending willpower and the fact that he was a lot stronger mentally than physically, Nial would have gone insane with the amount of dark energy he had controlled.

The Essence of Darkness, and even more so Kaeldur, amplified the influence of dark energy.

It was a wonder that Nial didn\'t show any signs of after-effects from the dark energy\'s influence.

One could truly say that it was a miracle, or one could simply acknowledge the fact that the Symbol of Life was far more powerful than anyone expected.

It worked in the shadows without gaining much acknowledgment. However, the Ankh\'s use was tremendous, and Nial was fond of its exceptional use. He was only alive thanks to the Symbol of Life, after all!

\'How about I take a look to see how Mathias and the others are doing?\' Nial thought, jumping down the wooden hut when he washed up and changed into a new set of clothes.

Nial landed softly on the ground and stretched his body, that felt extremely rusty because of not moving much for three entire weeks.

He smiled lightly before picking up a bit of pace and changing to a slow jog. There was no need to dash through the Forest of Life as his life was not endangered.

At a slow pace, he left the Forest of Life and approached the small place that had been constructed near it. Humans and Elves could be perceived everywhere. Some of them looked at him with interest but Nial simply ignored them.

He wanted to find his friends and their master. This was his mission. However, it didn\'t look like he would receive what he wanted because he couldn\'t sense their mana fluctuations.

\'Weird, where are they?\' Nial wondered, feeling slightly confused. It was just a moment later when Nial\'s ears perked up as he heard something from his right side.

"Did you hear about the rumors? Do you believe them?" Someone asked, only for a man to answer extremely seriously.

"You mean that Jundra will awaken its mana sooner or later and that more races will infiltrate Jundra? Yes, I believe them. In fact, if the Elves could already enter Jundra, why shouldn\'t others be unable to do the same?"
