"I won't let you do that."
A calm yet indifferent voice sounded in the chaotic hall at that mont.
Orion turned and saw Kane looking at him with an ice-cold expression.
"Forget about her. If you even so much as lay a finger on her, my sword will slice through the dinsion you're hiding in, kid."
Orion's eyes narrowed with a calm expression, but inside, storms were raging. He had thought his ability to hide in his dinsion was a perfect concealing ability, yet soone existed who knew about it.
"What? Surprised?" Kane smiled. "Last night, I sensed many spatial distortions in the palace, but strangely, I couldn't find their source. I could feel sothing was wrong with the hall—the spatial distortions there were the highest—but again, I didn't find anything."
He then added, "However, I now understand everything. It was one of your many wonderful abilities, and seeing no trace of your family here, I bet you sent them to your hidden dinsion, right?"
Orion didn't say anything and looked away from Kane, turning his attention to Luna, bathed in golden light. Though his expression remained calm, he was shocked beyond disbelief. He hadn't expected Kane to figure out so much just from the spatial distortions caused by his dinsion. It made him realize his powers weren't absolute, and if he wasn't cautious, it would cost him dearly one day.
But he remained silent the whole ti, focusing only on Luna.
He understood that anything he said now would only solidify Kane's speculations and suspicions, so by remaining silent, he let him guess. At least this way, he wouldn't reveal anything he shouldn't.
"That dallion is helping her, right? What if I take it away?" he asked, turning to Kane.
Kane narrowed his eyes at Orion. He was surprised that Orion didn't reveal much after being exposed. He comnded his calmness, but that also made him a terrifying enemy.
"You can try," he shrugged at Orion's last question.
On the other hand, rlin was pissed. He couldn't understand why Orion was still fixated on her, even after killing her.
"What more do you want, kid? Aren't you satisfied that you killed her?" he raged.
Orion looked at her and asked curiously, "What would you do if you saw one day after this event?"
rlin's expression turned ferocious when he heard that. There was only one answer to that question—kill!
"See, you also understand. Just as you can't wait to kill , I can't wait to kill you and everyone you love. It was decided the mont you sentenced my family to death," Orion said, his voice laced with ruthlessness.
The ground beneath rlin trembled as he struggled to control his rage. He wished he could kill Orion right here and now, but he couldn't.
'Damn it!'
He also understood the potential Orion had. His various powers and secrets alone made him one of the most powerful geniuses of the three domains, and now that person was his enemy.
He regretted not killing Orion right away when he had sealed the space around him last ti. Orion wasn't in his intangible form—it was a perfect opportunity—but he let it slip away, creating potentially the most terrifying enemy for his family.
But there was still a chance for him... He only had to wait now...
"Heh," Orion sneered and turned his attention to the dallion hovering over Luna's head.
Using the enigmatic powers of the Reality Fracture in Curse Transformation mode, he created a teleportation circle at the base of the dallion, with its other end connected to his hand.
Kane and rlin both sensed sothing when the dallion hovering atop Luna's head disappeared and reappeared in Orion's hand.
"You!" rlin almost choked with anger when he saw Orion do exactly what he had said a mont ago—he took away the dallion.
Only Kane calmly observed everything.
"It looks good, not gonna lie," Orion observed the dallion in his hand and turned to look at Luna, wondering if this might interfere with her revival.
But he was bound to be disappointed, as he saw the process of her revival continue even after he had taken the dallion away.
And a mont later, to Orion's surprise, the dallion disappeared from his hand and returned to where it had been previously—hovering quietly atop Luna's head.
"The current owner of the War dallion is Luna, so it doesn't change anything if you take it away from her—it will return to her soon regardless of the distance between them," Kane said, sweeping away Orion's confusion about the dallion.
But it was also at that mont Orion felt sothing, and before he could react, he was shocked to find that his body had been tied by a glittering, luminous white rope.
He couldn't understand how sothing could even touch him in his intangible form, but he could see and feel a rope coiled around his body, rendering him immobile.
"No!"
A sense of dread washed over him as he realized the dangerous situation he was in. Activating the curse of Berserk Body in Curse Transformation mode, he used every bit of strength he could muster, but he failed to break the bindings of the rope.
"Damn!"
Realizing strength wasn't working, he tried a different thod and imdiately undid the intangible mode, only to feel a chill all over.
He couldn't return to his normal form.
He tried again.
But the sa result—he couldn't switch back to his normal form.
"Hahaha, don't sweat it, boy."
At that mont, a chuckle sounded, and a woman revealed herself in front of Orion.
She appeared to be in her thirties. Her hair cascaded like pure silk, a flawless shade of white that shimred with an ethereal glow. Her face exuded a mature charm, every feature perfectly sculpted to convey both grace and wisdom.
Yet, there was a hint of seductiveness in her eyes, a captivating allure that added an irresistible depth to her beauty.
She looked at Orion's panicked expression and smiled.
"Although this Luminous Rope isn't one of the eight Primordial Cosmic Wonders, it is still a treasure of cosmic wonders. It can't be broken so easily."
Looking down on Orion, she continued, "I've had this treasure for a while, but it's useless most of the ti since it doesn't work on anything with a materialistic form. But I also heard it's a bane for those with intangible abilities, and it seems correct. You can't change to your physical form, can you?"
Orion gritted his teeth as he tried again and again, but he failed every ti.
'Damn it!'
Neither could he change back to his physical form, nor could he break the rope binding him.
In other words, he was trapped.
"Hahahaha, Orion, how do you like this? Being trapped and powerless to do anything?"
rlin's wild laughter echoed as he appeared before him.
