A deep frown appeared on Orion's face as he realized it was the old man's plan.
'Damn this old man. He really called for soone when he saw he couldn't do anything to .'
Cursing the old man, Orion focused his attention on the curse of Reality Fracture. Since he couldn't move into his dinsion in intangible form, he could only resort to teleportation now.
However, as if reading his thoughts, rlin sneered, "Don't bother teleporting. It's useless."
Orion's mind went blank when he heard him, but he still tried, believing rlin's words were nothing more than bluffs.
He looked at a part of the ruined hall and used teleportation.
In an instant, he appeared at the position he was looking at.
'It worked!'
Relief surged through him when he found that his teleportation had worked, but only a mont later, his heart turned cold when he felt the sensation of the binding rope still on his body.
Looking down, he was horrified to see that the white luminous rope was still attached to him. He was still tied to it.
'How is this possible?!'
Orion was shocked when he saw that.
The white-haired woman approached him at that mont.
"I told you before. The Luminous Rope is a bane for those with intangible abilities. So, it doesn't matter what you do from now on. It will always be attached to you like a parasite and will prevent you from reverting to your normal form."
Orion's face darkened when he heard her.
'It seems I'm really trapped.'
He sighed but didn't give up. His mind processed all his curses and considered the best course of action from here.
As he pondered a solution, he looked at the woman in front of him.
"Who are you?" he asked, frowning. He understood that her strength must be on the sa level as Kane and rlin, which was why he couldn't sense her when she got close until she revealed herself.
But that didn't an no one was able to sense her. Kane and rlin should have sensed her presence, but they didn't say anything. He understood the reason for rlin but not for Kane—or maybe he did.
"I am the 9th Seat of the Ten Seats from the Celestial Court—Seat of Honour—Rosaline Drax. You may call Miss Rose."
The woman introduced herself gracefully, but Orion didn't see even a hint of grace in her.
"Seat of Honour? Are you kidding ?" he said with a mocking smile. "The way you ca to and trapped is very fitting for your title."
A seductive smile appeared on Rosaline's face when she heard Orion.
"I know I'm well-deserved. All the people who have ever t told that."
Orion ignored her narcissistic reply and focused on sothing that truly mattered.
"You're from the Celestial Court, right? Why are you helping that old man who wants to murder my family?" he asked her directly.
"Huh," rlin appeared in front of him with Kane at that mont. "Kid, now let's see how you get out of this," rlin sneered at Orion with a cruel expression. He had already imagined what he would do to Orion once this was all over.
Orion's attention remained entirely on Rosaline, as if he didn't hear rlin's sneer or as if rlin didn't exist to him.
Rosaline felt amused when she noticed that.
"It's true that I don't know the whole story. I only ca here when rlin told about you—a person with complete intangibility. So, I would like to know what really happened here."
Orion frowned. He didn't like this woman at all. Just so she could use her treasure, she ca and bound him with her rope as if he were so kind of prize.
As Orion cursed her internally, rlin imdiately stepped forward, intending to explain.
"Let handle this."
However, Rosaline shook her head at him.
"You can't. Your answer will be biased."
She then turned her attention to Kane, who had been quietly observing everything.
For so reason, she ignored him after looking at him for a mont and then turned to the crowd at the other end of the ruined palace.
"Reynold Maximus, co here."
She directly called the Emperor of the Magus Kingdom by his na.
Orion was surprised when he heard soone calling Emperor Maximus by his real na but then he understood she had the power and authority to do that.
Emperor Maximus hastily ca forward after being called by Rosaline.
"You didn't co forward to greet when I arrived. Reynold, it seems you're becoming very negligent."
Rosaline imdiately berated Emperor Maximus upon his arrival.
A flattering smile appeared on Reynold's face when he heard her.
"How could I show myself there? I would only be in their and your way if I did that."
Rosaline looked at Reynold with disdain. "You really haven't changed." She sighed and got to the point.
"Tell , what led to all of this? Don't skip anything."
Reynold eyed Orion from the corner of his eye before he began to explain.
"This kid nad Orion killed so mbers of the Archons in a dungeon but he used an alias of a masked figure so when he killed them nobody knew it was Orion but since he killed people from Archons..."
He told Rosaline everything he had seen without holding anything back.
A troubled expression slowly appeared on Rosaline's face after Reynold explained everything to her.
"A ss, a complete ss," she sighed and turned her attention to Orion. "Tell , why did you kill them?"
Orion frowned for a mont before deciding to tell the truth. It was already revealed that he killed them, so there was no need to hide the reason behind it.
"There was a person nad Carl Rollins in the group of four I killed. I overheard them saying that his family would cease to exist in one year unless my family was completely destroyed."
Rosaline raised an eyebrow. "So you killed them?"
Orion nodded. "Yes, I killed them. I know the Archons are an existence beyond any Magi families in the Magus Kingdom, so I also understood that if a war were to break out between our two families, mine would be the first to lose, and losing here ans complete extermination."
He added, "That's why I ca up with a plan to kill them right away so that the Archons would be busy finding the killer, giving my family so ti to prepare for their inevitable arrival. As for the mysterious relation between our two families, you can ask that old man about it."
Rosaline nodded slightly and turned to rlin.
"It's related to the case of the Elven Family," rlin said.
Rosaline beca intrigued when the Elven Family was ntioned. "Go on."
