The blue-haired lady grunted her teeth at the situation. She really didn't want to ask him of all people considering what had happened between them last time but she also understood she must do what she had been told by her father.
"Can I ask the three individuals a few questions about the killer?" She asked with difficulty; her voice sounded low; she even trembled a little when she said those words. It was clear she didn't want to do that.
"Hmm, let me think for a sec." Kane acted as if he was thinking hard.
The blue-haired lady trembled even more. She felt humiliated at this moment. She was sure that every guest had their eyes on them at the moment and being treated like that in front of so many people made her really angry and humiliated, especially since she was from the Archons.
And it was just as she thought. Everyone could tell there was something going on between them, and Kane was intentionally making things difficult for her.
Orion also watched the scene with interest. He also hoped that Sword Sage would reject her.
"Now that I think about it," Kane said at the moment. "I'm also very interested in that killer." The way he is able to bypass the rank requirement in the dungeon is intriguing to me."
He looked at the blue haired lady and added, "Luna, I will give you my permission to ask you questions, but remember, only questions. My precious disciple and her best friend are also among those you want to interrogate."
"Ah, that kid too," Kane added, as if remembering something. "In simple terms, you can only ask questions and nothing else."
Luna felt like she was being ordered around and she hated this feeling but she understood she could only do as she was told for the moment.
Taking a deep breath, she turned towards Elyn first.
"Elyn, right?"
Elyn nodded.
"Tell me everything that happened inside the dungeon from your point of view," Luna asked.
Elyn began recounting the events of the dungeon without missing a single detail, and when she got to the part where the man in a mask appeared and killed Carl's group, Luna's face turned dark.
After she told her everything, Luna nodded and then began to ask her questions.
"Do you have any information about the killer?" About who he is?" Luna asked.
"I heard you beat one of our servants." Luna asked.
"Oh, that dog was your servant?" Orion acted as if he didn't know. "I thought he was just a random wild dog. He began barking when he saw me."
Luna's veins popped on her forehead. She really wanted to beat this kid but controlled herself.
"He was not mine, but he belonged to a certain member," she corrected Orion with a forced smile.
"Anyway, tell me your side of the story," she enquired.
Orion nodded and began recounting his side of the story, which was almost basically the same as Elyn. At the end, he added how he had to leave the dungeon because of the blue wolf's surprise attack.
His story came to an end this way—a very different ending compared to others.
Luna nodded and narrowed her eyes at the moment. She looked suspiciously at Orion and asked, "Tell me, what is your talent?"
"My talent?" Orion understood she was suspicious of him. "My talent is called Essence Condensation."
"What does it do?" She inquired about the specifics.
Orion explained. "Basically, I can condense any form of element if I am given a period of time to learn how that element works."
"Show me," Luna asked.
Orion nodded and held his left hand forward. A moment later, it began to burn in red flames. He did the same to his right hand and it began to release frost around his right arm.
Luna looked at his flames suspiciously.
"A month ago, a figure was seen on one of the space stations of the Magus Kingdom. I believe that station was called Starforge. When demons attacked that place, a figure wearing the exact same mask as the one who killed appeared there. Tell me, was that person you?" She asked.
Orion had already speculated that his mask of Curse Lord would be suspected to be him someday considering they both used the same set of powers and therefore he had already prepared for moments like this.
"Yes, it was indeed me," he agreed with Luna. "The mask individual in the Starforge."
