A deep frown appeared on Orion's face as he realized it was the old man's plan.
'Damn this old man. He really called for someone when he saw he couldn't do anything to me.'
Cursing the old man, Orion focused his attention on the curse of Reality Fracture. Since he couldn't move into his dimension in intangible form, he could only resort to teleportation now.
However, as if reading his thoughts, Merlin sneered, "Don't bother teleporting. It's useless."
Orion's mind went blank when he heard him, but he still tried, believing Merlin's words were nothing more than bluffs.
He looked at a part of the ruined hall and used teleportation.
In an instant, he appeared at the position he was looking at.
'It worked!'
Relief surged through him when he found that his teleportation had worked, but only a moment later, his heart turned cold when he felt the sensation of the binding rope still on his body.
Looking down, he was horrified to see that the white luminous rope was still attached to him. He was still tied to it.
'How is this possible?!'
Orion was shocked when he saw that.
The white-haired woman approached him at that moment.
"I told you before. The Luminous Rope is a bane for those with intangible abilities. So, it doesn't matter what you do from now on. It will always be attached to you like a parasite and will prevent you from reverting to your normal form."
Orion's face darkened when he heard her.
'It seems I'm really trapped.'
He sighed but didn't give up. His mind processed all his curses and considered the best course of action from here.
As he pondered a solution, he looked at the woman in front of him.
"Who are you?" he asked, frowning. He understood that her strength must be on the same level as Kane and Merlin, which was why he couldn't sense her when she got close until she revealed herself.
But that didn't mean no one was able to sense her. Kane and Merlin should have sensed her presence, but they didn't say anything. He understood the reason for Merlin but not for Kane—or maybe he did.
"I am the 9th Seat of the Ten Seats from the Celestial Court—Seat of Honour—Rosaline Drax. You may call me Miss Rose."
Rosaline immediately berated Emperor Maximus upon his arrival.
A flattering smile appeared on Reynold's face when he heard her.
"How could I show myself there? I would only be in their and your way if I did that."
Rosaline looked at Reynold with disdain. "You really haven't changed." She sighed and got to the point.
"Tell me, what led to all of this? Don't skip anything."
Reynold eyed Orion from the corner of his eye before he began to explain.
"This kid named Orion killed some members of the Archons in a dungeon but he used an alias of a masked figure so when he killed them nobody knew it was Orion but since he killed people from Archons..."
He told Rosaline everything he had seen without holding anything back.
A troubled expression slowly appeared on Rosaline's face after Reynold explained everything to her.
"A mess, a complete mess," she sighed and turned her attention to Orion. "Tell me, why did you kill them?"
Orion frowned for a moment before deciding to tell the truth. It was already revealed that he killed them, so there was no need to hide the reason behind it. Enjoy reading at m v-le-mp-yr
"There was a person named Carl Rollins in the group of four I killed. I overheard them saying that his family would cease to exist in one year unless my family was completely destroyed."
Rosaline raised an eyebrow. "So you killed them?"
Orion nodded. "Yes, I killed them. I know the Archons are an existence beyond any Magi families in the Magus Kingdom, so I also understood that if a war were to break out between our two families, mine would be the first to lose, and losing here means complete extermination."
He added, "That's why I came up with a plan to kill them right away so that the Archons would be busy finding the killer, giving my family some time to prepare for their inevitable arrival. As for the mysterious relation between our two families, you can ask that old man about it."
Rosaline nodded slightly and turned to Merlin.
"It's related to the case of the Elven Family," Merlin said.
Rosaline became intrigued when the Elven Family was mentioned. "Go on."
