Hero of Darkness

Chapter 1106 Farewell Gift

A couple more days passed and Kahn as well as Omega were already rediscovering themselves as samurai-class warriors. Without the use of any skills or powers, new ideas to adapt during battle, integrating the sword styles while furnishing their techniques kept coming each day.

The occasional beatings to death from Miyamoto Musashi also alleviated their progress further.

"This should be more than enough. I can confidently say you're both ready for the upcoming war against the Demon Empire.

However, I would suggest you two restrain your skills to the most degree and use them only against the types of enemies where none of your other powers don't work for any reason." spoke the sword saint.

"Yes, yes. We know sensei. To be honest... I don't think we'd need to use them 99.99% of our enemies at all.

You do know that both Omega and I can kill hundreds of millions of people without even unsheathing our katana, right?" asked Kahn tauntingly.

"Yes, sensei. I can just use the Anarchy Howl to destroy even thousands of warships in a 40-kilometer radius.

An opponent would need our acknowledgment first to even draw our blade." replied Omega cordially.

"And I don't even need to summon my katana. I can just think and millions of space force blades will shred enemy forces or even a 5th-stage saint from the True Dimension without giving them even a chance to defend," spoke Kahn, gloating shamelessly.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Sigh!

"That is the biggest curse of having powerful disciples. All I can hope is that you two don't become complacent and give up on your training.

Even if it takes centuries... just try to keep getting better. I have taught you everything, stuff that wasn't even part of our previous arrangement.

So I hope that when the time comes, you help out the Erdve Empire. Consider that as the last request from your master." said Miyamoto Musashi.

Both Omega and Kahn made a 90-degree bow and replied in an earnest tone.

"Disciples will keep their promise." spoke both Kahn and Omega in unison.

There was no hesitation in their voice. It didn't feel unnatural to them either because of various factors.

There was already a secret allegiance within them whether it came through their shared goals or the will of God of Space. Kahn already had a reasonable understanding of Emperor Sakamoto Hideyoshi.

Also, he also had a good impression of the Hero of Space.

Although many things were kept under wraps for now... there was no harm in supporting the Erdve Empire in times of crisis.

Even if Kahn couldn't officially get involved as Hero of Darkness... he still had the identity of Masamune Byakuya already prepared for him to use in such a predicament.

Rustle!

Strong gusts of flow within the dojo situated in the sword saint's created realm.

Miyamoto Musashi, the dual sword samurai revealed a content smile as he uttered his last words to both his disciples.

"Then I hope you both are lucky in your future adventures."

******************

At the same time, in a pristine white and dark brown castle. There was a golden pagoda where the Hero of Space currently resided.

"We asked around. Nobody knows where they currently reside." replied the fox demon, her voice filled with dissatisfaction.

"It's as if they appeared into thin air." said the snow demon with her usual cold tone.

"How arrogant.

I acknowledge that they won against us but didn't the match between that snake bastard Masamune Byakuya and our lord Hero end in a draw?" suddenly, Shingen retorted in a displeased tone.

"I give them the honor to admire their skills but social decorum should be followed since they're also part of the Hero's party now." said Isshin, the onmyoji saint.

It was right then, that a voice rang into Ryuken's head, an isolated speech message sent by the Emperor himself.

"He has left for a very important mission of his own."

Ryuken was baffled at first but then maintained his composure.

Sakamoto Hideyoshi, the emperor also knew how big a part Kahn played in Ryuken's new milestone.

"He did leave something though." iterated the Emperor.

He summoned an ornate golden box from his space ring and passed it along to Ryuken using his world energy.

Many people noticed this subtle exchange between the Emperor and the Hero of Space.

"Is His Majesty, giving Hero-sama a sort of gift for his achievement?" wondered the princess who had a demonic horn on the left side of her head.

"Well, father must have been waiting for Ryuken-dono's advancement for quite some time as well.

It's given that he would reward the Hero." spoke the eldest prince.

Clink!

Ryuken opened the lid of the box and gazed at the contents within.

Everyone else also had their gazes locked on the Hero of Space, waiting for his reaction.

"Hah!"

Ryuken chuckled, his expression filled with amusement as he looked at the gift left by Kahn.

"What a showoff." said Ryuken.

Because inside the box... was Masamune Byakuya's black headband.

Only Ryuken understood why Kahn/Byakuya left him that headband.

Because it hid his left eye that could use the World Creation ability.

Continue your adventure with empire

In a way, even as he bade farewell, Kahn was simply saying...

'I'm still stronger than you.'
