As everyone's eyes shook in disbelief, the supposed target of this inescapable battle formation was now freed from the invisible cage. [While using Moonlight Amror, now subordinate Omega's speed and dexterity stats have increased by 1000%.] informed the system to Kahn. [What?! Wasn't that just 3 times before?] asked Kahn in disbelief. [The additional effect is caused because of the awakened Fenrir bloodline by the subordinate Omega.] reported the system. [Means his present speed and agility stat was no different than that of a 2nd stage saint. Previously, due to his unawakened fenrir bloodline, he could use the armor to increase his speed by 300% at most. But now, instead of 3 times, it was 10 times. In other words, a beginner 5th-stage saint like Omega would be able to match the speed and agility of a peak 7th-stage saint since each rank was 5 times stronger than the previous one. So his overall speed was now on par with a peak 3rd stage saint.] thought Kahn as he paid attention to the battlefield intently. [This power does come at a cost. The problem is that his physical defense is now nonexistent. If an attack skill managed to destroy the moonlight armor and hurt the subordinate Omega, he would die on the spot regardless of his rank. To put it simply, subordinate Omega is no different than a Glass Cannon at this moment.] summarized the system. But what both system and Kahn didn't know… The Omega before being trained by Miyamoto Musashi would have failed to overcome this drawback in this particular situation since he was reduced to the level of a 1st stage saint. However, being the disciple of the sword saint, he had learned skills of his own that even Kahn could not help him acquire. Crackle! Crackle! The previously encompassing sanguine red aura that caused dozens of lacerations on Omega's body was now completely gone. Omega also regenerated very quickly due to his Fenrir bloodline becoming fully active. "Although I'm still 2 ranks below my original strength, with Sensei's teachings and techniques, it should be enough. After all… all of them can help me fight those who are 2 ranks above me." spoke Omega softly and with determined eyes as he clutched Raijin and Kyojin tightly in his hands. But on the other side at the same moment… [What the hell is happening?! How come he has broken through the Blood Extraction circle?! All the time we used this before, not even a mythical rank monster was able to break free from it. On top of it, he did it in mere seconds.] said Kagura to her companions with a contorted face because of the backlash they received due to their skill breaking. [Hey, is that what you're worried about? None of us can move outside of these gigantic constructs when using the formation. His transformed state has clearly given him room to move freely. Even if he's now reduced to a 1st stage saint, he can still attack us with no interruptions.] replied Isshin, analyzing the situation quickly as the magic expert of the team. [So what? The weakest member of our team is a 4th stage saint. No mere 1st stage saint can even touch us much less harm us. His strongest attacks won't even scratch us.] responded Shingen. [Enemy. Terrifying.] said Tomoe, the yuki-onna. [She's stammering… means he's dangerous. Her senses have never been wrong before. Every time her innate bloodline tells her that the enemy is powerful, she starts stammering her words.] spoke Momoko with an incredulous countenance. [Let's see what happens now. Although we can't move anymore… we can still use our respective attacks and defensive skills without a problem.] suggested Kensei. The nigh-powerful Sanguine Formation of Death was a sure-shot killing artifact, worthy of its namesake. However, it came with restrictions of its own. Apart from the detrimental conditions Ryuken told Kahn… the use of this battle formation using the artifact also sealed the multiple users who sacrificed their blood, life force, and world energy for it to seal and kill a single powerful target. And with this rearrangement of roles… the battle restarted. Swoosh! Omega raised Raijin and diverted his gaze towards the mountain-tall apparition of Dosho, the buddhist monk. The reason why he targeted the monk this time was due to him having the most defensive skills and could be considered as the main Tank class member of the hero's party. Rumble! Soon, the sky darkened and rumbled as a tornado formed around his body and a massive lightning bolt dropped on him. However, it neither clashed nor hurt Omega, rather the entire lightning bolt and the high wind pressure tornado were both absorbed by Raijin in a single second. Omega took a deep breath and focused his sight on the monk. He then slowly made a vertical slashing movement with his right hand. Lunar Fang Strike! Omega used his signature attack skill that could be activated only while using the Moonlight Armor. Bang! Without even realizing how it happened… The titanic form of Dosho was hit with an invisible force and soon, the place of impact crackled with lightning bolts and wind blades. Crack! Crack! The 1-kilometer-tall monolithic apparition was struck so hard that it got pushed away 100 meters despite being so heavy and enormous. Hundreds of cracks formed on its structure as if an invisible blade almost split it in half. Blergh! Blood sprouted forth from Dosho's body over the torso region as he too suffered visible damage and a massive wound appeared on his stomach. It was exactly the place where Omega's Lunar Fang Strike attack struck the gigantic apparition. It meant two things… the user of the orb suffered the same damage as the titanic apparition and the massive target could be damaged from any physical as well as ranged attack skill. [Although my agility and dexterity have increased by 10 times, my attack stats are the same as the 1st stage saint. Even with the Lunar Fang Strike, I can't defeat one opponent in a single strike because of my diminished rank. However… it doesn't mean that I can't keep attacking them with the same skill again and again.] thought Omega with a vicious smile. Woosh! Just right then, something unbelievable happened. One after another, Omega's image appeared in front of all 7 members of the Hero's Party as Omega started targeting them. Slash! BOOM!! Bang! And before any of them could grasp the situation… Omega, who was covering a circumference of 35 kilometers, was attacking all the humongous structures dozens of times with the Lunar Fang Strike from different directions and angles. Despite his rank as a 1st stage saint, his combination of 10 times the speed, his consecutive attacks, and the combined strength of lightning and wind elements overwhelm his opponents. Shing! Shing! All of them started using their respective defensive skills and barriers to protect themselves while throwing up blood because of Omega's deadly attacks. Because their life force and world energy were being sucked by the Orb artifacts which helped them maintain the Sanguine Formation of Death, the energy they expended to protect themselves and heal their injuries was doubled. It had been just 1 minute since Omega used the Moonlight Armor but they were already on the brink of being mortally wounded, all of them profusely bleeding. "Brought down to your knees by a warrior who is many times weaker than all of you… If it was me… I would commit Seppuku." declared Omega, openly mocking his opponents. The rank, the levels, the stats, and the difference between the ranks of saints seemed to no longer apply as things beyond logic were occurring in front of them. "Half the job is done. Now time to finish the rest." said Omega and this time, a scarlet red aura arose from his body. BOOM!! The massive pillar of aura spread forth and incinerated the battlefield in a 5-kilometer radius. The following second, Omega's entire body was covered in black and red flames. Unlike before, there was a hint of chaotic aura filled with bloodlust emitting from him. The surroundings were suddenly filled with an oppressive force that made everyone feel like they were drowning underwater. And finally, his personage appeared from within the massive pillar of fire. Omega now donned in black and red armor, silver hair, and a black wolf mask with white fangs on it was revealed to them. On his left shoulder, was a head of a black wolf while the other one was covered in black fur. Raijin had also gone through another transformation as the white and blue blade had turned black and fiery red in this new form. This time it was the left arm and leg that was on scarlet red fire around the corners while Kyojin emitted intense flames as the entire blade itself looked as hot as magma. And contrast to the previous form, his eyes glowed dark red, even more menacing than his human form. This was his 2nd and most destructive form. The Twilight Armor.
