Orion only hoped that, aside from the sniper in the tower, there were no more killers hiding in the shadows.
However, one thing that made Orion's heart turn cold was the fact that even though they hadn't caused much injury to the killer with their strength, they had created enough explosions and light shows that should have been visible to others—or at the very least, soone should have heard the commotion. But no one ca to check.
This situation made Orion feel like sothing was wrong.
At that mont, Orion realized sothing. 'Could this be a restricted space?'
Only in such a situation would others passing by the highway be unable to notice them. If that was indeed the case, then Orion had sothing that might help them escape.
"What happened?" Mark asked when he noticed Orion's expression suddenly change.
"Give a sec," Orion said and activated the Curse of Dinsional Dissonance, trying to move into his own dinsion, but he couldn't.
"We're inside a restricted space," Orion exclaid to Mark.
"Restricted space?" Mark frowned. He understood the precariousness of their situation. If what Orion said was true, then no one was coming to save them.
"I have Space Tear with . It can create a restricted space, so it should also be able to break one," Orion said, taking out a blue teardrop-shaped object.
"Let's regroup, then," Mark said, moving towards Erza and the others. Orion followed him.
At that mont, Erza and the others were blocking attacks from the killer in the distant tower, who was shooting at them with golden lights. He hadn't stopped attacking.
Luckily, the sniper wasn't a 9th-level Platinum rank; otherwise, they'd be dood facing a ranged attack from soone of that level.
Orion and Mark appeared in front of them, surprising the group.
"What happened to the killer?" Victor asked.
"We don't have ti for that. Erza, take this. It's a cosmic treasure called Space Tear. It can easily form a restricted space, but I need you to put all your energy into breaking this one," Orion said, handing her the Space Tear.
Erza didn't question him. Hearing the urgency in Orion's voice was enough. She channeled all her mana into the Space Tear, causing it to glow with blinding blue light.
"Look! The space around us is distorting!" Shuna shouted, drawing everyone's attention. They saw a rippling scene in the sky, and even the ground seed to have a bubble-like effect, as if it were made of rubber instead of solid earth.
Orion saw this and urged, "Erza, use more mana!"
"I'm giving it my all!" Erza shouted, red aura pouring into the Space Tear, but it only caused the space to fluctuate, not break.
"Space Tear? I'll kill you all before you escape!" the killer's shout echoed across the battlefield. The group turned to see him, covered in burn marks but standing tall, unaffected by his injuries.
He readied himself and punched forward, obliterating everything in his path as the punch headed toward Orion's group.
Orion grew anxious as the attack approached.
"Hurry, Erza!" he urged.
"I'm giving it everything I've got!" she said, drenched in sweat.
But the killer's attack reached them before she could finish.
Just as Orion was about to use his reserve mana around the Fate Core, Mark placed his hand on the Space Tear, and the space around them shattered like glass.
"We're falling!" soone in the group yelled.
Wind whipped through Orion's hair as they plumted. He had thought they were in a restricted space, but now it seed otherwise. Restricted spaces usually constrained an area, but they were clearly falling from a great height. As he looked down at the city lights far below, Orion realized they were high in the sky.
He glanced back up, searching for the source of their altitude, but instead saw the killer falling with them, heading straight for them. Discover more content at мѵʟ
"Don't think you can escape !" the killer shouted.
Orion frowned and turned to the others. "Everyone, split up and head to the Hunter Association. Mark and I will give this killer one last greeting."
Mark nodded in agreent.
The others nodded as well and flew off in different directions, descending towards the ground.
"Take care of yourself," Erza said before flying away.
Tracy gave Orion a look filled with concern before following the others.
Now, only Orion, Mark, and the killer remained, all still falling.
"So, tell , who are you?" Orion asked the killer.
The killer didn't answer. He glanced in the directions the others had escaped before focusing back on Orion and Mark.
"I never expected to fail my mission because of two Gold rank brats," the killer said darkly. "But it's good that you two didn't run with the others. At least I'll have sothing to bring back to my group." He sneered sinisterly.
"Hey Mark, isn't this the sa useless killer who failed to take out a bunch of Gold rank kids?" Orion asked mockingly.
Mark chuckled. "Now that you ntion it, I do rember soone who got his ass handed to him by two Gold rank experts just a mont ago."
Orion laughed. "But he's threatening us again. That's starting to make mad. You know what happens when I get angry, right?"
Mark sneered. "I've heard gods themselves tremble when that happens. What's this guy gonna do?"
"ENOUGH!" The killer flew towards them, but he was slower in the air than he had been on the ground.
"Did you forget? You're in my domain up here," Orion said with a smirk. "I can call the storm with a wave of my hand, summon lightning at my command. You're nothing in the face of that power."
With a wave of his hand, Orion summoned a tornado that ford so quickly even he was surprised. He knew his Stormcaller Curse would be more powerful in the sky than on the ground, but this was on a whole new level.
