"Come on, dogs," Barion laughed provocatively. He had known about Orion's plan before coming here since Orion had specifically told them where to stand in the hall if things took a turn for the worse.
He didn't ask what the plan was, nor did he suspect anything. This time, he simply trusted his son. Besides, he was clueless about how to escape from this situation, so he could only let his mysterious son handle it.
He would be a fool not to notice that his son had changed. He also had suspicions about the deaths of Carl's group being Orion's doing, but he only suspected it because of the circumstances. It was too much of a coincidence. However, he didn't dig into the matter.
And now that his son had taken charge of their escape, the least he could do was protect the family until then.
"Barion, it's been a while since we fought," Munro laughed as his figure was engulfed in silver flames. Meanwhile, Varen summoned a dark wolf.
Barion sneered and activated his talent, causing his skin to change color to black. At the same time, patterned markings appeared all over his body—patterns that usually etched onto wood.
As the name suggested, the Darkwood family had the talent to control wood elements, but only direct descendants received this talent in each generation, and this generation's wood talent was obtained by Aron Darkwood.
Wood also had many varieties in terms of power, and because of this, Aron's wood talent had some elements of earth, while Barion's wood talent had elements of hardness. He could make his body as hard as possible.
Seeing Barion's transformation, both Varen and Munro attacked him, and Barion eagerly received their attack and fought back.
Orion noticed his father's fight and didn't worry about him. His father might be ranked 90th in the celestial ranking, but the other two weren't even in the top 100.
Witnessing the two leaders of the Magus Kingdom leading the attack on the Darkwood family, the others hesitated no longer and joined in the assault.
Even though she tried her hardest, the enemy continued to attack relentlessly, pushing her earth defenses to their limits with each wave of aggression.
Seeing that his mother was struggling, Orion activated the Curse of Supreme Gravity on the enemies who were attacking them. The gravitational force in the area around their attackers intensified exponentially, creating an overwhelming pressure that bore down on them.
Platinum rank experts and those of lower levels suddenly found themselves struggling to stand. The force was so powerful that many were forced to their knees, their bodies buckling under the unexpected weight. The weaker enemies, unprepared for such a sudden shift in gravity, were completely overwhelmed. They were slammed to the ground with bone-crushing force, unable to resist the immense pressure.
But at that moment, Orion noticed from the corner of his eye that Luna, along with everyone from the Archons, was making their way towards them.
However, Orion didn't seem worried; a slight smile even appeared on his face when he saw them coming.
There was a reason he hadn't been actively attacking the enemies with his arsenal of curses, using them only for support purposes. It was because all his energy had been focused on reality manipulation this entire time, and now it was complete.
Orion could, if he wanted, teleport his family out of this place to a distant planet at any moment.
Therefore, he wasn't worried about his family now that he had a way to save them all.
Also, he could finally use the other three curses that had been active in Curse Transformation mode since last night. He had been preparing something big, and now it was time to unleash it.
