As Luna and the other mbers of the Archons made their way toward Orion's family, all the guests who had been attacking them halted and stepped aside.
"I'm really curious, why did you kill them?" Luna asked Orion.
Orion shrugged. "They were eyesores, just like you, so I thought they'd be better off dead."
"And your strength at the Diamond rank? What's the secret behind it?" Luna asked, a sly expression on her face.
Orion looked at her seriously. "If I told you my secrets, would you let my family go?"
Luna laughed lightly and nodded. "If your answer is satisfactory, I'll consider it."
Orion nodded and said, "I'm the most handso man in this world, so the gods gave an extra boost of power that I can switch on whenever I want." He said this with a completely serious expression.
"You! How dare you mock ?!" Luna felt insulted by Orion's joke. "Don't you want to save your family?" she demanded. "Beg , reveal your secrets, and I'll spare them," she added, still lusting after his secrets.
"Trash like the Archons always act this way," Orion sneered, shaking his head as he observed her.
Luna fud, feeling mocked. "Start killing his family mbers and let him feel true despair," she ordered the Archons.
As soon as the words left her mouth, a man from the group stepped forward. He was the one who previously targeted Orion with his killing intent, and threatened him with a killing gesture.
"Let handle this."
Luna nodded. "Aster, kill those old n first, then move on to his father and mother. Let him feel hopeless, helpless, and full of despair." Her cruel words echoed throughout the hall, and no one dared to refute her.
Aster grinned sinisterly and nodded. "How about I start with that little girl?"
Luna frowned for a mont, then shrugged. "Do as you wish."
"Hehehe," Aster laughed cruelly, having received permission, and began walking toward Orion.
Orion heard them clearly, and a savage expression clouded his face. He loved his family deeply, and he had already sentenced the guests who attacked his family to death. Hearing soone targeting his little sister filled him with unimaginable rage.
However, that didn't cloud his judgnt. He understood that his family's safety ca first.
"Father, I'll send you all away," Orion said, turning to his father.
Barion, who had been fighting Varen and Munro, stopped and ca to his family's side, looking at his son with a solemn expression. He gritted his teeth, sadness clouding his face. "Are you sure about this?" he asked, his voice trembling.
Although Orion had already shown his ability to beco invisible and walk through walls to him and his family, Barion still felt guilty and, more importantly, fearful of leaving him alone in a den full of lions.
Orion smiled. "Don't worry, Father, these Archon trash won't even be able to touch a hair on my head."
Luna's veins bulged when she heard this. "Aster, do it."
"As you wish," Aster smiled and appeared in front of Orion, intending to beat him before killing his family mbers.
But Orion seed unfazed, his attention still on his family. "Father, Mother, you can rest assured I'll be fine."
Tears welled up in Olivia's eyes before she nodded. Barion also nodded lightly.
"Big Sis, I'll see you later," Orion said to Emily.
Emily nodded. "I'll wait for you."
Orion smiled and snapped his fingers.
Snap!—
With that snap, his entire family disappeared from the hall.
Everyone was shocked when they noticed it. The guests were astonished by the scene. For a mont, they thought they were seeing things, so they closed their eyes and reopened them, but the result was the sa. The Darkwood family was gone without a trace.
Emperor Maximus, Adam Voidwalker, Estor Ravenclaw, and other powerful individuals looked at each other, seeing the shock in one another's eyes. Even they couldn't sense anything before Orion's family disappeared.
Aster suddenly halted when he realized only Orion was standing there. All his family mbers were gone. Disbelief etched onto his face as he pondered how they had vanished from the hall.
Luna was the most shocked of all. Her mouth hung open as she stared at the empty spots where Orion's family had been. They had been right in front of her eyes, but they had disappeared in an instant.
"What did you do?" Luna asked Orion, her expression filled with shock.
Orion smirked. "I sent them away."
"You!" She was furious. She understood why her father had ordered the death of the Darkwood family—it was for the betternt of the Carl family—but they had failed. The Darkwood family had escaped before their very eyes.
"I will kill you!" Aster snapped out of his shock, his fists igniting with black flas as he punched Orion with all his strength, enraged that they had escaped. The death of the Darkwood family was essential for his family's survival, and they had missed the perfect opportunity, even letting them escape.
"Die!" he roared, bringing his fist down on Orion.
But to his shock, his fist passed through Orion like air.
"I don't believe it!" Aster punched again, but the result was the sa. His fist went right through Orion's body as if touching air.
"No!" Disbelief clouded his eyes as he barraged Orion with punches, but none landed.
"You're too weak," Orion muttered and snapped his fingers.
No sooner did he snap his fingers than Aster was engulfed in a purple sphere raging with golden lightning inside it.
"Aggghhhh! What is this?" Aster scread in agony, electrocuted by the lightning inside the purple sphere.
"It's your death," Orion said.
Almost instantly, the purple sphere exploded in a flash of light.
Boom!—
An explosion echoed through the hall, followed by a shockwave that rippled outward.
"NO!" Luna scread, but it was already too late.
As the smoke and dust cleared, it revealed Orion standing in his place, but there was no trace of Aster. He was gone—dead, disintegrated into ashes.
