I traveled through the canyon to the safe spot. On the way there I tried my best to always fight with 'Eyes of the Void' active, to get a better grip on how to move while being blind. I adapted rather quickly and reached my destination, just to resume the hunting immediately. Now I didn't have to care if it was dark outside, or not.
Fighting large groups with the skill turned on was way more difficult than the smaller packs. I made few mistakes, that actually allowed me to learn how tough I became. Even a clean cut from the regular orc could barely scratch me now. I also didn't bleed that much. Combined with the healing it made me kinda invincible, but I still focused on avoiding hits, to not become lazy.
Ki'rei also returned and tried to convince me to go with her to her masters, but I declined again. She became upset, but I calmed her down claiming that I'm keeping enough crystals to go with her sometime after I'm done with hunting in the canyon.
