Hero of Darkness
chapter-567

The sudden revelation of Omega being a third stage saint had taken the entire hero's party by surprise including the hero of fire himself. And unlike their previous approach to this matter… Kahn's right-hand man wasn't holding back at all.

The normal crowd on the site was spared of his insurmountable aura so they could only be shocked just like the rest.

Omega, who was level 372 when Kahn evolved him using Skoll & Hati's bodies 2 months ago had now successfully crossed level 400 and became a being comparable to a 3rd stage saint.

The main share of his quick succession in levels went to the Energy Plunderer skill that Kahn got from the guardian dragon.

This was a skill that helped him absorb mana and world energy directly from various sources like ores, cores and energy reserves and not eat or absorb them one by one.

And like a habit, he had imparted this godsend skill to all of his subordinates who had met the 100% loyalty condition.

Aside from Rudra, everyone else had it and now… thanks to this skill and the resources they already had at hand… Omega successfully raised his strength and made a breakthrough inside the Table of Arcana after Kahn and Rathnaar gave him access to the Chamber of Exaltation to make a breakthrough without gathering anyone's attention.

This was another function of the Chamber of Exaltation but Kahn intentionally didn't use it last time because he would've been sensed by the gods after his breakthrough to the saint realm anyway.

And he needed to throw them off by sending the signal in No Man's Land which gave him a window to escape and also created a diversion between two empires who served the gods.

After this rank-up, all of Omega's skills and abilities had a massive boost in efficiency and range and now… he was 5 times stronger than before. And now… he could even stand evenly against the Hero and the fireborne with a black trident who stood behind him.

[Master, the Hero of Fire is a 3rd stage saint himself. But the fireborne behind him is a 4th stage saint… but the dense aura I sense from him… he's someone who is about to become a 5th stage saint soon.] informed Omega.

[I see. Means fighting here isn't an option. Not only will we die, but too many people inside the company building will get killed as collateral damage if a fight breaks out.

Well, just stick to the plan.] responded Kahn.

"Behave or you will be thrown out of here." said Omega and firmly warned them without any hesitation despite the two members of the opposition being strong themselves.

"You… Do you understand who you're talking with disrespectfully?

Do you know how big my reputation is?" said Axel as he gave an intense stare to Omega.

"Do you?" asked Omega in return.

"If it was that important… then neither you nor your allies would be behaving so rudely in front of all these people.

Or are you under the impression that just because the church treats you like a prince… you do think of yourself as one?" retorted Omega.

"You!... How dare you speak to lord Axel like that?!

Do you have a deathwish?!" suddenly, the 4th stage saint fireborne donned in black and red armor from head to toe spoke as he released his pressure and threw off the one released by Omega on his party members.

"You're the one who tried to cause trouble here.

Hero's party?... What a joke.

It looks like a bunch of rich brats who got recommended in the group only because of hefty donations.

They're only 1st stage saints and yet behave like they own the world." replied Omega fearlessly and kept roasting the opposite side.

"You… who do you think you are to slander us?!" shouted Edna with a furious gaze. Her other teammates were no different because this was the first time anyone badmouthed them openly ever since they formed the Hero's Party.

"Tch! Why are you yapping?

The only ones here who can stand against me are the Hero and the guy behind him.

The rest of you won't even notice how you died. So show some manners when you speak of master Oakenshield, you weak losers!" he kept insulting the whole team again.

"Hey! Which force are you from? To speak to us so rudely…

Don't you know we're from church?" said the 4th stage saint as he too released his saint pressure and killing intent on Omega while tightening his grip on the trident.

"Unlike you imbeciles… I don't need to rely on someone's name or a backing.

So stop wasting my time and get lost!

None of you are welcomed here." said Omega while folding his arms as if he wasn't slightly affected by the oppressive saint pressure of the fireborne at all.

"Daring words. You're not even the strongest person here. And on top of it… You're just one guy." said the fireborne who was ready to take an attacking stance and so did the rest of the team members of the hero's party.

Axel on the other hand, had a carefree expression as he was trying to see what this hybrid saint could do in front of his team members.

Yawn!

Instead of getting alerted or feeling threatened by the 7 saints from the opponent team, Omega yawned and stretched his arms and shoulders.

The dual sword samurai was acting like he still didn't care despite all of them directing their bloodlust at him.

The next second, he let out a wicked grin and spoke with a confident voice…

"Am I?"

BOOM!!

BOOM!!

One after another, many other sources of intense and heavy world energy signatures revealed themselves from inside the Oakenshield company building.

One, two, three, four and five!... Five different saint pressures suddenly erupted from the building and directed their collective saint pressure and murderous auras at the members of the hero's party.

Stunned!

Even Axel and the fireborne trident warrior were too stunned to speak and felt a sense of dread this time. Because Omega alone was enough to subjugate 75% of their team. And now… there were 6 more saints who suddenly revealed themselves.

As soon as they let their presence known… every member of the opposite side felt like they were the ones who had to fear for their lives this time.

The onlookers, however… gasped in surprise.

Because the majority of them were the workers and employees of the company and they had no idea that there were mighty saints who roamed in the same building as them.

"What the hell! How are there so many saints?!" questioned Tamak who too felt like they mistakenly entered a dragon's lair.

This was not mentioned in the intel they received at all.

BOOM!!

This time… another burst of chaotic saint pressure suddenly erupted right in front of them and the temperature of the surroundings rose in a matter of seconds.

A man donned in fiery red armor and with giantsword on his back who was forced to kneel in front of them suddenly stood up and brandished his weapon as he casually lifted it off and placed the weapon over his right shoulder.

"This human as well?!" shouted Mikaela as they were flabbergasted on the spot.

Because the one to stand tall and release his chaotic saint pressure that gave them the foreboding of certain death was the very human they oppressed as soon as they got here.

Jugram… the Hellblazer general stood beside Omega and smirked as if he too was toying with them all this time and finally revealed his real strength.

Axel had a complicated expression. Because this was completely exceeding their expectations as told by the church.

At best… they expected one to two saints to protect this place even if they had the backing from the imperial heirs. But seven… This was more than triple their highest expected count.

[Lord Axel, this is bad! Although no one except that hybrid in front of us is above second stage saint rank… the aura they all are emitting is extremely dense and of high caliber.

If we push it and a fight breaks out… apart from me and you… I can't guarantee that others will make it out of here alive.] warned the fireborne through some sort of telepathic link to Axel that couldn't be detected by anyone.

[What kind of trap did we walk into? And why is that giant human a saint as well?!

The last time I heard, I was the only human saint in this empire.] he replied to the fireborne.

[That's not the issue here… if seven saints are protecting this company and the old dwarf saint blacksmith… this is already a very grave matter.

We can not afford to let things escalate more than they already have.] said the 4th stage saint as he saw Omega placing his hands on the hilt of his katanas.

The way things looked… they were on verge of a bloody battle, all because they underestimated the opposite side.

But right before anyone drew the first blood… a loud voice reached their ears as a human in a black longcoat appeared in front of the entrance door.

"Please stop! You can't fight here!"
