Hero of Darkness

Chapter 1061  The Apparition

Omega in his Raiden persona, officially challenged the 7 saints of the Hero's Party, going as far as to proclaim that him fighting them individually would be a handicap… not to him but to all of them.

And after declaring that he has never known defeat… the remainder of the hero's party was provoked beyond measure.

[Master… till now, I have only fought with the skills and abilities you gave me after acquiring them from our enemies. And I have gathered ample battle experience from fighting by your side for all these years.

But after learning directly from Miyamoto Sensei and applying his strategies during practice… I have realized how shortsighted I have been with no true foundation.

I shall no longer fight with instincts or just orders received from you but also the honed skills I've learned after learning from Miyamoto Sensei.] spoke Omega to Kahn before the battle started.

[Learning from a true master can make the difference between the ground and the sky, a distinction that self-taught individuals can rarely achieve in their lifetimes.

So I give you full freedom. Fight the way you see fit.] responded Kahn in an understanding tone.

Because before learning the true ways of warfare and actual fighting techniques and battle strategies from master Romulus, Kahn himself was one such individual who learned through real battle experience.

However, the fact remained that the majority of his skills came from the stolen abilities of other people with fighting classes and monster bloodlines that he acquired over the years.

Although the blessings from the War Deity Kravel had helped Kahn raise his proficiency in all of them with the help of the System, he had seen distinctions and restrictions in trying to surpass his own limits.

During his training under master Romulus, then Sage Vildred, and now the Sword Saint, Kahn had seen the shortcomings of his ways.

Just because you survived the battle and learned from experience, doesn't mean that your abilities were peerless or flawless.

Hence, this sudden revelation by Omega was more than welcomed by Kahn.

Meanwhile, the members of the Hero of Space's party were puzzled as well as irritated.

Because a duel should always be fought honorably and in one-on-one combat. This was part of their tradition as warriors regardless of where they came from.

Even Kahn was informed by Miyamoto Musashi that the Erdve Empire practiced a Code of Honor similar to Bushido even before he was summoned as the Hero of Space.

"That's it! I will not be insulted to such a degree anymore! Face me, Shingen of the Great Red Oni clan!"

It was the infuriated Oni warrior who lost his cool first after being talked down so much.

One challenging all their opponents was seen as the warrior looking down on all of them as if they did not see the opponent on the same level of mastery as them.

BOOM!!

A blood-red aura arose around the four-handed and two-headed horned Oni who charged at Omega with his Kanobo.

Everyone else instinctively moved a few kilometers away in the sky, knowing that the battle between saints was going to obliterate everything in sight just from their saint pressure alone.

Bang!

Ripple!

A massive shockwave rippled through the surroundings and crumbled the ground below, shattering the nearby 1-kilometer radius like an earthquake destroying a mountain.

The environment was filled with rivers and forested mountain ranges so the tremors caused high tides and landslides in quick succession.

"Good. You're brave enough to not pretend to abide by laws and attack your opponent for their insults. I like people who fight with their honest hearts." said Omega as a smirk appeared on his space.

Sizzle!

Sizzle!

Sparks arose from the clash of the kanobo and Raijin as Shingen attacked with two of his upper arms while Omega blocked the powerful swing with just one hand, not even moving an inch behind.

"But you forgot that I have two swords." he said.

Slash!

The very next moment, Omega slashed apart Shingen's left leg with Kyojin using his other hand in a single move.

"Ahh!" wailed the Oni and quickly moved a few hundred meters away in the sky.

Soon, his leg started spraying blood but the stream itself started wriggling and turned into flesh and bones, replacing his lost leg in a short amount of time.

"All of you! Face me together or you will face a dishonorable defeat so terrifying that you will remember it for the rest of your lives!" declared Omega menacingly.

"And if you do not… I shall be the slayer who reminds you of the difference between the prey and the hunter." his overwhelmingly ferocious voice echoed in the pocket dimension. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Without waiting for another moment, Omega used Kyojin and sent a massive 400-meter-wide wave of dragonfire akin to a tsunami, instantly coloring the sky yellow as if a new sun arose from the ground below.

Shingen quickly used his skill and sent a piercing kanobo, made from his world energy that thwarted the coming wave of the fire.

Crackle!

Bang!

However, a massive slash made of lightning bolts emerged from the wave of dragonfire, used by Omega using Raijin, and instantly destroyed the summoned weapon of the opponent.

Woosh!

The twin-headed oni moved from his position and appeared two kilometers away, watching the aftermath…

The position he was previously at, was now filled with a tornado made of dragonfire, lightning and windblades, like a disastrous force of nature.

Even Kahn was surprised and spoke to himself…

[Did he just merge two of his different elemental attacks after performing both of them?] he wondered.

Because merging elements first and then making your attack move was the norm, and once they were delivered, the control of the user on the respective elements was lost on them unless one was a Magic Class warrior.

Omega was a Samurai, a melee class at that. As a semi-saint, it would not be impossible for many but as a saint, the immense control of the world energy would drain down the user drastically.

The tornado itself wasn't disappearing and kept swirling as if it was part of the natural environment while destroying everything within two kilometers of radius.

[Master… I shall show you the basics of combat I've learned from Miyamoto Sensei.] informed Omega.

"Looks like my warning fell on deaf ears. Didn't I tell you all to attack me if you wish to win?

Since you're all so reluctant and think highly of yourself to not even realize that I'm many times stronger than you lot… I shall come to you." he spoke with an exasperated tone.

BOOM!!

Suddenly, even Kahn and Ryuken were taken by Omega's aura something unforeseeable happened.

"AWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!"

An ear-deafening warcry filled the entire dimension and the shockwaves from this beastly roar destroyed the surrounding forest and rivers within a 5-kilometer radius.

"GGGRRRRR!!!" A monstrous roar resonated and shocked the onlookers as a massive body arose in the sky.

Omega, the source of this ominous aura flew in the sky with Raijin and Kyojin. Yet everyone was shocked by what appeared above him.

[Is that what I think it is…] thought Kahn to himself, taken aback by shock.

[Yes… this child has awakened it for the first time.] replied Rathnnar, affirming Kahn's speculation.

[What kind of yokai is he? Why do even I, a chosen hero feel this sense of danger from him?...] thought Sasakibe Ryuken, bewildered by the revelation.

Because right at this moment, a massive 200-meter-tall head of a wolf arose over Omega's figure.

This wolf head apparition had black fur and four eyes. The two on the left crackled and bustled with lightning and wind while the ones on the left were ablaze with red dragonfire.

To those who didn't know… this appeared like some unique skill related to Omega/Raiden's bloodline skills.

But Kahn knew better than anyone else that this wasn't just a mere skill or a spectral form made of world energy. This powerful being Omega conjured was none other than…

The Godbeast Fenrir.
