Chapter 540 Pierce His Heart!

Nial's heart was empty and his mind was blank. He had no idea what was actually going on and the only thing he felt was uncontrollable anger.

Something had snatched the reins from him, but it was neither the Late God of Darkness nor the dark energy.

A being he had never encountered before had found him within the City of Trials, the only place where the void borders of the Universes were ruled by different laws.

It forcefully created a link to him and it had waited until the very moment when Nial's mind was the most vulnerable.

This moment occurred when he rushed to Kaeldur fearing that his trusted ally had actually died, not just in the City of Trials, but a true death.

Only then did it strike, overthrowing Nial and forcefully making him release a tremendous amount of mana while unleashing his [Awakening of the Prymal] ability.

What happened afterward was history. With the seemingly infinite amount of mana he was supplied with, Nial summoned a humongous and terrific Gate. It was black in color, tens of meters wide, and taller than a few hundred meters.

Yet, that was not even the most terrifying part. The most fearsome was the tremendous pressure which the Gate unleashed. The entire City of Trials began to shake for the first time since its creation as the ominous and terrifying existence that lay behind the Gates was unleashed and it unveiled its welcome gifts.

It revealed a fraction of its power to show what it was capable of, while impatiently waiting for the young Fate Changer to keep supplying his power to the Gate that creaked open.

The moment the Gate opened, even if it was just a tiny slit, everyone in the City of Trials froze in their place. Every Soul Shard turned in the direction of the Colosseum and they began to shake violently.

Even if they had no idea what was going on, their heads and hearts, and guts told them that they should run, as far as possible and as quickly as the winds could carry them.

They were Gods, some even the Soul Shards of True Gods, extremely powerful True Gods that were feared and renowned in the vast Universe.

Yet, even then, they felt nothing but uncontrollable fear when they felt the pressure of the being that resided behind the Gate.

[Pierce his Heart!]

Dilan had been in a trance while looking at the Gate in front of him.

The Trial of Power had ended and the Soul Weapon, Oricalm, had appeared in his hand. At least, that was what the System notification told him.

It had been around ten thousand years since he last saw a system notification, but that was probably his smallest problem right now. A monster with the strength to eradicate his existence was about to emerge in the City of Trials after being summoned by Nial. Dilan was also not sure if Nial did this intentionally or not, but he presumed that it was the latter. His gut told him so.

[Pierce his Heart, The Heart of Darkness!]

The voice appeared in his head once again, and Dilan could clearly tell who it belonged to.

However, that was quite confusing because he was pretty sure that the Oracle could pierce Nial's Heart of Darkness by herself.

Why was he, a weak mortal, supposed to do the dirty work for the Oracle?

'But…thinking about it, I do not really want to die…'

A muscle in Dilan's jaw twitched and he accepted his fate. It was not as if it would make a big difference to him either way. If the Oracle was not able to do the deed, then he would be more than happy to pierce Nial's Heart of Darkness!

Wielding the soul weapon, Oricalm, Dilan felt an odd familiarity with it. He closed his eyes for a second, inserted his mana in the weapon and he sensed something amazing.

He could adjust the shape of the weapon to his desire. With that in mind, Dilan turned Oricalm into a longsword with a paper-thin and flexible blade. It looked similar to a fencer's saber, but there were still a few differences.

In the end, it didn't really matter, one way or another as long as the weapon he wielded could pierce deep inside his designated target.

Given that it was the Oracle who told him to pierce Nial's Heart of Darkness, Dilan presumed that his wounds would be tended to afterward.

There was no need for him to worry about Nial in that case.

This gave Dilan enough assurance to close his eyes and summon the Destruction Domain that spread out in a radius of two meters. That was the largest Destruction Domain he could create with his ridiculously low talent toward the Power of Destruction, but that was more than enough to make things work.

By weaving several layers of Destruction around Oricalm's blade, and shrouding it with the Immortality Aura that was fully empowered with the help of the True Undying Essence, Dilan combined his strongest forms of attacks.

His skin burst open, blood gushed out of his body and his face turned into an ugly mass of flesh as dark red, almost black skin burst out of his eyes, mouth, nose, and ears.

His physique was too weak to endure the potent powers he unleashed. However, that was nothing new for Dilan so he could endure everything with ease.

With the Zephyr Step movement technique activated, Dilan burst to the ground. The moment his foot touched the ground, strong winds circulated around him. They allowed him to change his trajectory faster and shoot forward, straight to the tragic figure of his fellow fate changer.

Nial's skin had burst open as well but dark energy oozed out of him instead of blood. Dark energy spread out of every single pore in his body. It was difficult to see Nial behind the curtain of darkness that seemed to have the mission to hide and protect Nial from the influence of beings from the outside.

Unfortunately, all the darkness was useless in the face of the Power of Destruction!

Dilan emerged in front of Nial just a moment later. The immense pressure originating from the humongous Gate weighed on Dilan and it destroyed his body one layer at a time.

His Origin ability's effects were drastically weakened in the presence of the ginormous monster that was well hidden behind the Gate, but Dilan tried to ignore the influence it tried to weigh down on him.

He took a deep breath, looked at the pained persona of the Eternal Darkness, and smiled lightly.

"This might sting a little, buddy!" Dilan declared while piercing into Nial's flesh with all his might.

There was no hesitation in Dilan's movement, his silver eyes stared straight at a particular position in the center of Nial's chest. A faint smile emerged on his face when Oricalm's razor-sharp blade dug deep inside Nial Orin, desiring to devour his blood and cut through his heart!

And Dilan made exactly that possible!
