Hero of Darkness

Chapter 1065  Tai Tai No Sen

After Omega had taken out Kagura, the centerpiece of their teamʼs battle formation with swift and precise attack, the teamʼs overall prowess diminished by a huge margin.

Isshinʼs isolation barrier started cracking while Doshoʼs Buddha palms started disappearing, leaving them at half of their previous strength.

All of their hearts sank because now, they were drastically restricted in terms of the use of their skills.

”Good. Stand there like obedient children,” spoke Omega menacingly and his image flickered.

Woosh!

Next, Omegaʼs dreary figure, releasing an intense murderous aura appeared in the middle of the sky which was already filled with dark clouds and violent lightning bolts.

ROAARRR!!

Omega let out an ear-deafening roar that shook the nearby 5-kilometer radius while two sets of massive red eyes appeared above him.

As a result… the entire hero of spaceʼs party was paralyzed with shock and fear for their life.

[System, what ability is that?] asked Kahn.

[The subordinate Omegaʼs awakened Fenrir bloodline has allowed him to merge the Lycan Tyrantʼs Roar and the Bloodlust skill to form a new Legendary Rank skill unique only to himself.

This ability is called Fenrirʼs Bloodlust.] reported the system.

[So he has unlocked his bloodline and evolved in a sense that even you could not allow him?

Looks like Omega has been training really hard during my absence.] thought Kahn to himself.

Meanwhile, even Ryuken felt a sense of threat as the tattoos of the divine tiger spirit on his hands started growling, raring to fight Omega.

Yet, whether in the sky or ground, his allies were frozen and paralyzed in their respective spots, unable to move even an inch due to sheer terror running amok their minds.

Rumble!

The sky rumbled like a terrifying beast going berserk as Omega/Raiden raised both his katanas upwards.

Soon, dozens of lightning bolts fell from the sky and an equal amount of tornados formed around the battlefield, dispelling all the poisonous smoke, the blizzard, and the isolation barrier.

Omega soon started absorbing that monstrous amount of power from the lightning bolts and tornadoes from the blade of Raijin while a massive burst of scorching red Dragonfire arose from Kyojin.

As if this sight was not disastrous enough…

Right in front of everyoneʼs eyes… Omega started fusing Lightning and Wind elements from Raijin and the Dragonfire from Kyojin into a single 500-meter-long Katana that arose in the middle of the sky.

This was the technique taught to him by Miyamoto Musashi which merged the 3 different elements with different characteristics, power output, and destructive range perfectly. If compared to the most powerful skill of any other 5th-stage saint just similar to Omega/Raiden… even the Hero of Space could tell that this one combined attack was at least 3 times stronger. In simple words, Omegaʼs attack move carried the strength of a proper 6th-stage saint at the bare minimum, if not more.

The name of this technique taught to him by Miyamoto Musashi, the Sword Saint was…

Ichimonji.

The name translated to ʼStraight line through the path of harmonyʼ. But it wasnʼt just the elements used by the user that needed to form a perfect harmonious or synchronous relationship with each other, but it was also the mind and body of the wielder.

Even among Miyamoto Musashiʼs descendants, only 2 people had learned and mastered this skill in the past 500 years after being taught by the sword saint himself.

The sight was so horrifying that even Ryuken felt like interfering and stopping him from attacking.

And right then… Omega made his move.

”Ichimonji… Heavenly Strike!” shouted Omega and made a quick vertical slash.

BOOM!!!!

Rumble!

Crumble!

Shatter!

As if a nuclear bomb had dropped, Omegaʼs 500-meter-long katana, carrying the immense destructive force of lightning, wind, and dragonfire… destroyed the nearby 10 kilometers of radius.

All the mountains and rivers were razed to smithereens. All the trees were burnt to the point that not even their ashes were left and all that remained was a sea of fire, blazing the ground while the black smoke rising from it turned the sky even darker.

If this was done in a populated place or even a battlefield in Vantrea… tens of millions of people would have lost their lives in a single moment, not even letting them realize how they died.

In this radius, the party members were heavily injured and most of their bodies were charred black as the entire team was devastated from the attack.

Were they not high-ranking saints themselves with armors and attires with defensive powers, all of them would be facing a very dire fate.

Omega then spoke in a grim tone…

”Is that it? Just because I stopped you all from using your most powerful skills, you lot are already at the brink of defeat?

I even reduced the power of my dragonfire by two-thirds of its original strength.” spoke Omega, seemingly disappointed.

”Let me tell you something… this is one of my most basic attack skills. I havenʼt even gotten serious yet.” he declared in a kingly voice.

His cold tone sent chills in their minds and body.

Even Ryuken was having a hard time accepting the fact that this wasnʼt Omegaʼs strongest skill but one of the most basic ones.

What Omega did just now was implement the 3rd strategy/method of forestalling the enemy taught to him by his master, Miyamoto Musashi… Tai Tai No Sen :

ʼWhen the enemy makes a quick attack, you must attack strongly and calmly, aim for his weak point as he draws near, and strongly defeat him. Or, if the enemy attacks calmly, you must observe his movements and, with your body rather floating, join in with his movements as he draws near. Move quickly and cut him strongly.ʼ

In these three ways of forestalling, you must judge the situation. This does not mean that you always attack first; but if the enemy attacks first you can lead him around. From the start to this point, Omega had been leading his opponents around by their noses.

As the battle continued…

”Fine… I shall give you another handicap.” said Omega in a playful tone.

Snap!

With the snap of his fingers, he dissolved the Howl of Chaos skill, and the 30-kilometer-wide radius was now filled with World Energy again, lifting the restriction on all of their bodies.

Now the Heroʼs Party was back at their full strength. Not only did they regain their original strength, but they also started healing very quickly, recovering from those fatal wounds at a visible pace.

However… this was not going to be the end of their nightmare.

Omega pointed Raijin at the fallen members of the Heroʼs Party as he spoke in a domineering as well as excited tone…

”Now, entertain me.”
