Orion appeared in front of one of the demons; his left hand transformed into frozen icicles stabbing towards the demon's chest.
The demon could barely react to Orion's sudden appearance but he was still able to put his sword in front of him.
Bam!
Orion's icicle was completely destroyed but the demon's sword too was swept away by the attack, leaving him completely defenseless.
Seeing that opportunity, Orion swiftly punched him and he too exploded into pieces like the previous demon.
He then turned his attention to the remaining three demons. They were trembling in fear, seeing how effortlessly he was killing them.
"No! Don't come near me!"
One of the demons shouted, retreating, wanting to escape from here.
However, to his horror, Orion appeared in front of him.
Seeing the masked kid with blood all over him appear in front of him filled him with fear. The gaze from those emotionless eyes sent tremors through his entire body. It was as if the masked kid possessed an aura of pure menace, radiating a chilling presence that froze him in place.
The sight of the bloodied mask and the remnants of his comrades clinging to him only intensified the feeling of dread that gripped him.
In that moment, he panicked so much that he forgot to even put up his defense. His mind overwhelmed with fear and shock, he stood frozen and vulnerable, unable to react or protect himself against the impending threat.
Without encountering any type of resistance, Orion simply punched him and that sacred demon ended just like his two friends, turning into nothing but blood and pieces scattered all over Orion and the ground.
However, Orion didn't even flinch after killing him nor did he feel anything when all the blood and body pieces of the demon rained down on him.
It was as though he had become nothing but a killing machine whose task was only to eradicate the demons.
But in reality, only Orion knew the truth. Fighting in Curse Transformation mode with two curses activated subjected him to a constant wave of negative emotions, which overwhelmed all other feelings within him.
As a result, he could feel no other emotions aside from negativity.
"You! You are a devil!"
One of the remaining two demons spoke, his voice trembling with fear.
"I am a devil?" Orion smiled eerily upon hearing the demon call him a devil. "Hehe, for you demons, I sure am."
The demon felt as if the god of death himself smiled at him when he saw Orion's smile. Everything about Orion exuded an aura of bone-chilling fear.
'It seems the demons above saw everything.'
He thought and only a moment later, the spear covered in dark flames arrived in front of him.
'But they are too naive to think that this can kill me.'
Orion smiled, disappeared from his location using the curse of Fractured Reality and appeared at a little distance from his original position.
BOOM!
Almost instantly, the spear collided with the spot where Orion had stood just a moment earlier, causing the area around the spear to turn into nothing but ashes.
The intense heat and force of the impact obliterated everything in its vicinity, leaving a smouldering crater. The remains of the demons scattered around the area also turned into ashes and disappeared into thin air.
A moment later, the dust settled down and everyone was shocked to see that the spear had caused such levels of destruction.
Meanwhile, Orion's attention was above. He saw that Mike had appeared and was fighting some demons in the air.
Seeing him, he quickly searched the whole area but found no trace of his friends or anyone from the void shuttle. This made Orion sighed in relief.
However, at that moment, all the humans, including Orion, felt an imaginable pressure descending upon them.
"What happened?"
Loren suddenly felt as if his breathing had become labored. His chest tightened, and each breath he took felt shallow and strained.
And not just him—all the humans felt the same. It was as if some invisible force was constricting their chests, making it difficult to breathe. Panic spread among them as they struggled for air, their fear amplifying the sensation.
Orion, too, wasn't feeling well. He thought that if this continued, then they would all die at this rate.
"Enough!"
At that moment, a loud voice sounded before them, and the oppressive pressure they were feeling suddenly lifted. They could breathe freely without any problems; the invisible force that had been constricting them was dissipating as if it had never been there.
Orion, feeling that the strange sensation was gone, looked up and saw two new faces above.
One was a demon whose menacing presence suggested he was responsible for the suffocating pressure they had just experienced. The other was, surprisingly, a human—a figure from Orion's not-so-distant past whom he hadn't expected to see again.
'How could it be him?'
Orion's eyes widened in recognition and surprise as he took in the sight of the familiar face.
