Chapter 1060 The Blade

Masamune Byakuya's sudden provocative response, implying that he was stronger than everyone else present here, without even a shroud of respect laced in his tone, triggered the united wrath of the entire Hero of Space's party.

BOOM!!

One after another, heavily suffocating saint pressures erupted, following along with the killing intent full of rage and bloodlust.

"You insolent bastard! How dare you speak such hubris and disrespect Ryuken-sama?!" shouted Shingen, standing up from his seat and grabbing his Kanobo, the mace-like club with spikes, his body ready to jump and attack Kahn.

The same reaction came from Kensei, Kagura, and Tomoe. This blatant disregard for Ryuken's authority and honor being the fuel of their outburst.

However... Kahn/Byakuya remained unfazed, gently sipping his tea as their auras did not even touch his clothes or move even a strand of his hair.

"I'm not disrespecting him... I'm just disrespecting all of you." he spoke with a benign smile.

Right then...

"All of you! Retract your auras!" bellowed the Hero of Space in a hurry.

The sudden order bewildered all of them but they quickly suppressed their killing intent.

Huff!

Huff!

And as they looked around, they all saw the servants and the soldiers almost plastered on the floor and ground.

Had it not been for Ryuken's own saint pressure of a 6th-stage saint, enveloping and protecting them at the quickest second, all these innocent people would've already died.

Protecting the weak was Ryuken's first priority instead of responding with anger in accordance with Byakuya's insult.

But the fact remained ever since these two new arrivals came, many thought-provoking moments led to such confrontations.

"Do you dare to take responsibility for such words?" asked Ryuken.

This time, even the coolheaded Hero of Space was exasperated and also offended by those claims despite showing great restraint.

"Is it a sin to speak the absolute truth, Ryuken-dono?" asked Byakuya with a devious smile.

Clench! n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"So not even an hour since we made acquaintance and you have already disrespected the entirety of the Hero's Party twice.

I hope you have what it takes to back up those grand claims... Alas, there shall be consequence." spoke Ryuken, intently locking his gaze with Byakuya.

Sigh!

"Phew! Looks like a faceoff is inevitable since matters have progressed to this extent; all for merely standing the facts." replied Byakuya.

But before he could continue...

"If we are going to clash blades... Allow me this opportunity, my Lord." said Raiden/Omega in a composed demeanor.

Omega willingly took on the offer without any hesitation.

"You! Who are you to interfere?! A mere vassal is acting like a champion?" asked Isshin, the young Onmyoji.

This haughty and prideful attitude shan't be welcomed under my leadership." he said in a firm voice.

"So do you dare to accept the bet?" he asked in a taunting tone.

Byakuya in return, let out a mischievous smirk and replied...

"I wouldn't have it otherwise. However... what if your 'friends' cannot defeat my samurai?

What then?"

"Then you and your samurai will have full autonomy in this party. And you will always have the free will to defy my command.

That I promise, in my name as the 10th Hero of Space." declared Ryuken confidently.

"This is preposterous and unacceptable!" said Kagura, her tails wiggling behind her back due to anxiety.

"This is unheard of, Ryuken-sama." said Dosho, the monk.

"I'm against such an arrangement as well, Hero-sama." said Isshin, the Onmyoji.

Because that would greatly affect the chain of command in the future.

"This is a rightful price to barter. Besides, are you not confident in your own skills?" asked Ryuken in a stern voice, indicating his resolve.

[This is a good opportunity for them to learn and grow. They have never fought or trained at their full strength against me because of my role and status.

But in front of these two, who have insulted their pride... they will gain good experience.

I cannot allow what happened during the Conclave of Heroes ever again.] thought the Hero of Space to himself.

Instead of getting offended, he was putting an act and using this encounter to help his allies and show them their shortcomings.

10 minutes later...

They entered a training facility that sent them all into a separate realm, arranged specifically for duels between saints.

"Who do you want to face first, you dog-bastard?" asked Shingen with a contemptuous and vengeful smirk, cajoling Raiden to choose him first.

"It would be unfair to all of you if I fought you in the conventional one against one duel." declared Omega haughtily.

"So come at me, all at once!" his voice sent a chill in everyone's body.

"Heed my words..."

Clink!

Clang!

Omega brandished both Raijin and Kyojin.

"I am Raiden. Blade of Lord Byakuya." he declared in a tyrannical voice.

Omega's indomitable and impregnable will resonated in the surroundings as he pointed his blade at the members of the hero's party.

"And I have never known defeat."
