Chapter 1063 Awakened Bloodline
And now… it was an imitation of none other than the Godbeast Fenrir\'s unique ability that made it fearsome even among other Godbeasts, Elder Dragons, and Archangels.
Although it was a basic and entry-level version of the World Devourer ability, something that inspired the creation of Kahn\'s Ability Absorption Divine Ability… it was still so unfathomable.
At this moment, the skill that was engulfed by the Fenrir apparition didn\'t just swallow the attack, it destroyed and dissembled it thoroughly on a molecular level.
Kahn had a similar ability called Energy Plunderer which he acquired from the Mythical Rank Guardian Dragon in the Forbidden Zone of Verlassen Fiefdom many years ago.
This skill could not be given to any of Kahn\'s subordinates because it required the Dragon bloodline to work.
But now, Omega had invoked a similar ability all by himself just by awakening his Fenrir bloodline. Meanwhile, after realizing that the Fenrir head above Raiden/Omega wasn\'t just limited to that howl… the seven members of the Hero\'s Party suddenly telepathically conversed within themselves. [What the hell is up with this guy? If he\'s so strong, why haven\'t we heard about someone like him in the past century or so?] questioned Kensei.
[Not only is he freakishly strong but also has this rare bloodline that wasn\'t seen in our empire before. Besides, I\'m certain that the first skill he used has made us all significantly weaker.] iterated Isshin as he took a defensive stance while dozens of talismans with archaic runes engraved on them, swirled around his figure.
[If we\'re outmatched, then we bridge the gap with our numbers.
I know it is dishonorable for someone like us to gang up on a single opponent but we would face a greater shame if we lost to him at this rate.] said Kagura, the nine-tailed fox as a wave of pink haze made up of Sakura petals swirled behind her. Kagura was the first to react and soon, summoned a Sensu (wooden foldable hand fan) with intricate image of a moon and a pristine sakura tree painted on it.
Swirl!
Swirl!
Soon, she waved the fan and a countless number of sakura petals surrounded the nearby 5 kilometers radius including the sky in a dome-like structure.
In mere moments, a type of illusion barrier was cast that changed the atmosphere of the battlefield to a tranquil mountaintop where a massive sakura tree bloomed, making one reject all feelings of animosity or resistance.
This was one of Kagura\'s bloodline abilities as a fox demon… to enchant the opponent and make them drop their guard by using a bewitchment spell.
She had many powerful spells even deadlier than it. But Omega\'s Howl of Chaos had bound their ability to use such attacks, forcing them to resort to these 2nd rate skills.
[Now!], commanded Kagura.
Swoosh!
Woosh! Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn
Without wasting a single moment, Kensei and Shingen attacked with their naginata and kanobo from Omega\'s right and left side respectively.
At this moment, Omega was in a trance and had stopped moving because of the effect of Kagura\'s spell.
Swing!
Swing!
In a microsecond, both the powerful saints attacked Omega/Raiden with all their might, their weapons just a few inches away from his body.
BOOM!!
Crack!
Shatter!
An immense silver aura burst and shook the surrounding environment, cracking and shattering Kagura\'s dome-like spell.
As the light finally dimmed, Shingen and Kensei had their eyes wide open.
Crackle!
Sizzle!
Because both of their weapons with immense might were blocked by the mere flat side of Omega\'s katanas.
Raijin and Kyojin stopped those momentous attacks that should have sent him hurling a few kilometers away with just mere movements of his hands.
He had blocked Shingen\'s kanobo with Raijin in his right hand while guarding his front… and diverted Kensei\'s naginata spear with Kyojin in his left hand while protecting his back.
All of this done was in a picosecond, something that should be impossible while the enemy\'s weapon was just an inch away from hitting him.
19:49
But instead of acknowledging these two warriors, Omega gave a lifeless and dismissive side-eye to Kagura.
"Genjutsu of that level doesn\'t work on me."
Omega declared and forcefully kicked Kensei and Shingen with his right leg, shoving them after a few hundred meters.
Meanwhile, Kagura\'s special bloodline spell had completely crumbled to bits.
"Compared to the ability of that snake, your bewitching spell feels very… juvenile." said Omega and quickly dashed towards Kagura, leaving a few afterimages.
His immediate attention was now set on the nine-tailed fox who had a large AoE range and could disrupt him later. This was in every sense, a strategic move.
Swoosh!
Omega took only a second to reach Kagura and raised his katanas to attack the fox demon.
"Futsu no Tenohira!" Right then, dozens of golden palms, each being at least 20 meters tall, appeared in front of Kagura.
"Apologies, but violence isn\'t the best way to achieve victory." spoke Dosho, the buddhist monk as he slowly descended from the sky.
"Yet it is what we resort to first because it is the most effective." responded Omega with a slight smirk on his face.
The golden Buddha palms summoned by Dosho had created an impregnable wall around Kagura.
[They are protecting her as a priority. Then she must have the best team buff skills in their group.
The old Omega just punched his way through all of his enemies and wouldn\'t take a different approach unless I ordered him to. But now, he is making logical assumptions and prioritizing on the most effective way to dismantle an entire enemy group without my orders or guidance.
He surely has developed good battle instincts of his own, taking down the biggest support class should always be the priority.] spoke Kahn to himself as he watched from afar.
On his right, stood Ryuken with a serious countenance.
[On the surface, Kagura only appears like she can do some enchantment spells similar to that of a Mage or a Summoner at best.
But how did he know that her mere presence creates a synergy between skills and attacks of all the party members as well as gives them all an elemental buff to their respective skills and abilities?
Is this a mere coincidence or is it because of his developed senses from immense battle experience?] asked Ryuken to himself and he skeptically looked at Raiden.
Meanwhile, Omega was now surrounded by the opposite side from all directions after Dosho, the monk created a net made of those golden buddha palms.
[Looks like I walked into an inescapable formation. Well, even so… Sensei taught me exactly how to break free from such a situation.] thought Omega.
[It\'s time for the 2nd battle strategy…] he murmured to himself.
[Tai no Sen!]
