"Wait!"
Orion's hand halted mid-strike, the blade's tip slightly piercing White Fla's forehead while his lightning flickered violently around his body.
"What is it?" Orion asked with a raised brow, wondering what else White Fla wanted to say.
White Fla tightened his lips, enduring the pain of the lightning current wrecking through his being and the crimson blade that could easily cut through his current form, and said, "I have a request."
Before Orion could respond, Aerialia's voice sounded beside him, "A god devoid of remorse like thee deserves no plea and should be dispatched without rcy," Aerialia said, looking at White Fla with a sharp, emotionless glint.
Orion, however, shook his head with a sigh escaping his lips, naturally understanding Aerialia's thought process. Regardless, he was willing to hear White Fla as long as it wasn't anything too preposterous.
"What is it?" Orion asked.
Before White Fla could speak, Aerialia's voice sounded again, "What thinkest thou art doing?" she asked, staring angrily at Orion. "Dost thou an to tell thou dost plan on granting his requests?"
Orion turned to the side to look at Aerialia's furious, trembling gaze. A deep sigh escaped his lips as he nodded in response, "I am, as long as it isn't anything too outrageous."
"You!" Aerialia felt her words quivering out of her lips.
At this point, she felt as though she was going to explode in anger from the fact that Orion planned to listen to the request of the god that had killed her and her children.
It didn't matter what he had to say because any kind of request he wanted to make was unacceptable to her.
"Kill him!" Aerialia said, with an icy tone as she tried to regain her composure.
Exhaling deeply, Orion shook his head and withdrew his gaze away from Aerialia's icy glare, focusing it on White Fla.
Although he didn't want to be on Aerialia's wrong side because of the four-ter-long crimson greatsword currently within his grasp, he still wanted to listen to what White Fla's request was.
"Go ahead and speak."
White Fla suppressed the urge to grunt out in pain as he opened his mouth.
"I have been trapped in this mountain for a long ti, far longer than I can rember, and I have lost sense of what the outside looks like." He paused before he sighed and continued, "So, I hope that you could grant my last request to see what the world looks like now before you proceed to kill ."
Their surroundings beca silent as Orion pondered for a mont.
As though he could understand what Orion was thinking about, White Fla said, "Just as the Crimson blade was about to pierce , I could feel the restrictions placed on to trap in this mountain begin to loosen up gradually. Although it was too faint that I couldn't notice it when you first attacked the first two tis, now I can feel it."
"Dost thou truly intend to grant his request?" Aerialia said, her voice carrying a cold and emotionless tone.
"His request isn't anything too outrageous. Besides, if he tries to do anything else, I will imdiately stab him to death," Orion said, instead of responding directly.
"Fine," Aerialia responded.
However, when her voice sounded out in the air, the weight of the four-ter-long crimson greatsword within Orion's grasp suddenly increased.
Orion instantly channelled all of his strength into his grasp and tightened his grip around it, quickly stabilizing the situation and preventing it from falling.
A loud snort echoed from beside him.
"Although I would like to grant your request, considering it's an easy one, I don't think that it would be possible considering where we are currently," Orion spoke as he withdrew his gaze from White Fla and focused on the black, empty void around him.
White Fla nodded imdiately, understanding what he ant, and dispelled the independent space. The black, empty void began to distort gradually before the rocky cavern walls slowly erged. Even the partly ruined grassy plain beneath their feet scattered from existence as they reappeared within the mountain's wide rocky walls.
"ORION!!" Fifi's voice imdiately sounded behind him.
Orion turned around to see Fifi racing towards his direction, with the rest of the warriors and the Crystalforge warriors at a distance behind her.
Fifi arrived in front of him within a few short breaths and instantly enveloped him with her arms. Feeling her tight, bulking muscles alongside her voluptuous breasts that seed as though they might squeeze out of her tulga at any mont, Orion allowed himself to relax for a few seconds within them before freeing himself from her grasp.
As soon as Orion was out of her hold, Fifi observed the battered White Fla flickering on the rocky floor beside them and promptly positioned Orion behind her, shielding him warily as she assessed the injured White Fla. Fortunately, she couldn't spot Aerialia.
Orion imdiately halted her from doing anything rash, causing her to furrow her brows in confusion and worry.
"Don't worry, I'm okay. Just wait here for with the others, and I will be back within a few minutes," Orion said as he gently stroked her back.
He focused his attention on White Fla and nodded at him.
Despite his injuries, White Fla turned around and began crawling forward with his one remaining arm.
"I can sense the closest cave out of here," his voice echoed within the cave, reaching the ears of Fifi and the others.
They all stopped as they arrived at Fifi's position, wondering what was happening. They witnessed Orion walking calmly behind the crawling humanoid White Fla.
However, after Fifi had conveyed Orion's ssage to them, they decided to wait, understanding that Orion probably knew what he was doing.
Seth frowned as he watched Orion and the humanoid White Fla slowly disappear from his view.
He wanted to rush over there since they couldn't waste any more ti. Still, considering that Orion was the current mission leader and had already proven himself capable of the role, he could only wait until he returned.
