Hero of Darkness

Chapter 1064  Tai No Sen

Omega kept floating steadily in the sky as he was now surrounded by hundreds of 5-meter-tall golden buddha palms. In contrast, his opponents had surrounded him by different sides with their own offensive abilities.

On the left side, Kensei had summoned 3 massive 50-meter-tall naginatas that let out a greenish hue, its light falling off on the summoned weapons and skills of his other companions, providing them additional buff in their respective attack skills.

RAWR!

Shingen, the twin-headed red ogre, roared and put Omega in a dizzy state, the former's warcry disturbing his senses and causing dissonance between the mind and body.

Soon, his own size almost doubled as all his muscles and veins became vividly visible, indicating the fact that he had entered his bloodline-related berserk state.

At the same moment…

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Hundreds of yellow talismans with Kanji symbols flew in the sky and surrounded Omega, creating a 2-kilometer radius inescapable net made of fire and lightning that was a saint-rank version of an isolation barrier.

SCREECH!

Sizzle!

But soon, the air started screeching, filled with a monstrous cry as a massive eight-legged spider apparition appeared in the sky, standing 50 meters tall despite its insectoid figure.

Momoko, the spider-demon member of the Hero's Party had acted for the first time.

Psooosh!!

The humongous spider didn't waste a moment and spewed out a massive smoke of emerald poison, filling and covering the entirety of this newly formed battlefield against Omega.

But that was not the end of it…

Woosh!

Rumble!

Soon, the sky also turned dark and the clouds crackled with lightning bolts.

The temperature around the battlefield dropped drastically to -30 degrees in mere seconds as Tomoe, the Yuki-Onna also used her blizzard-causing ability.

Had not been for Omega being a saint rank… he would have instantly frozen and crumbled like a sandcastle if he were a mortal.

"This is effective," spoke Omega as he noticed a few things about his own body.

Dosho and Isshin had stopped his escape route with their barrier-like abilities.

Shingen and Kensei had raised the entire party's overall damage output by using their buff skills of warriors, usually found in Knights, Tanks, and Paladins.

Momoko and Tomoe, both of whom belonged to unique races and used massive AoE skills, had blocked his sight with the poison fog and hindered his physical movements with the bone-biting blizzard respectively.

Even with Kagura's ability failing to enchant Omega/Raiden, the passive synergy between skills and teamwork she provided amongst her party members was ever so complementing to such an amazing formation.

[Had I not used the Howl of Chaos in the very beginning, they would have used skills and abilities many times more powerful and life-threatening than this in such team formation.

It's enough to rival our Pendagron Formation even if it doesn't work on massive attack and magic boost.

Such a scenario would be a nightmare even to an enemy who was 2 stages higher than them.

I guess not all Hero's Party members are incompetent morons. Challenging them so early on was indeed a good decision.] thought Omega to himself.

The current Omega was far calmer and more composed than before he trained under Miyamoto Musashi. Because the old Omega would have already made very strong and flashy attacks to overwhelm his opponents without even thinking of the consequences, like a rabid dog.

"Urrgghhhh!" groaned Omega and his figure slumped, his eyes started twitching while a visible layer of crystalline ice encompassed his arms and legs.

[Everyone, it's working! He will soon lose all his motor functions.] spoke Kagura with a visibly excited countenance as she looked at Omega becoming weaker with each passing second.

 Suddenly, Omega's arms started shaking as his senses were dramatically going out of his control.

As soon they noticed Omega's arms shaking, all of the Hero of Space's party members knew it was the moment to act.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Kensei and Shingen, the main damage dealers and the strongest warriors of the group, quickly made movements.

[Be wary, he could be acting again.] forewarned Kagura.

And just as she suspected… the moment Shingen's kanobo was about to touch Omega/Raiden, the latter quickly tilted to his left and tried to jump and evade the attack.

[No, you don't!] thought Kensei to himself and launched a vertical somersault slashing attack.

Bang!

A massive shockwave spread across the battlefield as his naginata hit something hard.

Rumble!

Even the ground rumbled from shockwaves while the dark clouds in the sky were pushed off just from the shockwaves emerging from the impact.

[Did we hit him?] questioned Isshin with an anticipating gaze.

[We definitely did.] thought Momoko.

But as soon as the cloud of smoke dissipated, all of their gleeful expressions turned gloomy.

"Urgh… you damn idiot." said a massive red figure, laying in a crater, devastated by his own friend's powerful attack.

The one Kensei hit hard with all his might was none other than Shingen. Meanwhile, the original target of the attack was missing…

"Where the hell is he?!" bellowed Momoko, bewildered and distraught at the same time.

Crackle!

Suddenly, crackling noises resounded from the back of their team formation.

"Kaminari Surrashu!"

BOOM!!

However, before anyone could react… a massive explosion arose from the back of their formation, flinging all of them a few kilometers away.

A massive pillar of wind and lightning shook the surroundings, causing devastation like a heavenly tribulation to fall from the sky.

"No!" screamed Tomoe as she noticed the aftermath.

Kagura, the fox demon, was taken out in a swift and precise attack while they were distracted.

No one even saw how Omega evaded Kensei's attack or how Shingen was brought in his place, leading the latter to bear the brunt of the naginata's powerful attack.

And before they could even notice where he was… Omega had already taken out Kagura, the best buff team member in a single shot.

The battle tactic Omega performed in mere seconds was taught to him by the Sword Saint, developed by his years of experience in dueling skilled samurais.

'When the enemy attacks, remain undisturbed but feign weakness. As the enemy reaches you, suddenly move away indicating that you intend to jump aside, then dash in attacking strongly as soon as you see the enemy relax. This is one way. Or, as the enemy attacks, attack still more strongly, taking advantage of the resulting disorder in his timing to win.' This is the Tai No Sen principle that Omega used.

First, he pretended to be weak after their team formation skill surrounded him. When Shingen's kanobo nearly hit him, he pretended to jump to the left, leading Kensei to act and make him instinctively attack Omega knowing he would be in his attack range.

But right at the last moment, Omega used his Gravity Law skill called Attraction to pull the red oni in his place while he himself dashed towards a gap in the formation, slashed it apart, and appeared right behind Kagura while everyone was taken aback from the impact at the center of the battlefield.

Now, without anyone to protect her, Kagura fell victim to his Kaminari Surrasshu skill, the massive 120-meter-long lightning katana.

And now her burned fur from her tails became the bed as the fox demon lay unconscious.

The entire atmosphere turned grim as soon as they realized that their party's most vital member was taken out by a single opponent before they even noticed anything.

As for their fate, they were all on the verge of falling… Like the domino effect.
