"You really killed him?" Morkel exclaimed in shock as he saw the lifeless eyes of Merlin before his corpse fell to the ground.
Even after all the threats, he still couldn't believe Orion had actually killed him.
The others were equally stunned by what they witnessed.
Rosaline covered her mouth, shocked that Orion didn't hesitate to kill Merlin. She understood the trouble that would follow, and Orion clearly understood it too, yet he still did it.
She was both shocked and fearful of Orion's actions—shocked by his boldness and fearful of the potential he possessed. They were destined to be enemies, so she feared the potential Orion held.
"Sigh, the unthinkable has happened," Pyro shook his head in disappointment, though it wasn't clear what exactly disappointed him.
Armin's face darkened, while Suzan shook her head in pity as they processed what had just occurred.
Kane's expression was equally grim as he looked at Orion with solemn eyes.
Kitsuri closed her eyes at the sight of Orion killing Merlin. "One's deeds shape their fate. Since you killed him, be ready to face the wrath of the Ten Seats."
She swung her sword at Orion as she spoke.
Sensing the intense danger from the sword, Orion immediately moved into his dimension, but not before making a bold declaration.
"You can never kill Orion Darkwood. Never."
With those words, he vanished, causing Kitsuri's sword to miss completely.
"Hahahaha."
At that moment, Grey Orion's laughter echoed throughout the pit.
"You people are hopeless. Imagine, six of the Ten Seats came to save one person, yet that person still ended up dead. I worry for the future of humanity in your hands."
Kitsuri turned her attention to Grey Orion after hearing him. "You cannot escape the Ten Seats. You've doomed yourself."
She swung her sword horizontally in a sweeping motion.
An arc of golden light flew toward Grey Orion, aiming to split him in half.
Boom!
The entire planet trembled from Grey Orion's punch, and the shockwave alone was enough to deter the attacks of the six Ten Seats.
Rosaline and Suzan, being weaker, were blown away by the shockwave, while the others were pushed back, their attacks completely nullified.
Moreover, the pit was once again destroyed, creating an even larger crater from Grey Orion's strike.
But at that moment, Grey Orion felt the ground beneath him turn hot. Looking down, he saw it had transformed into molten lava, and he began to sink.
He quickly used the curse of Frozen Torment to freeze the entire lava pool and emerged.
Though he was burned by the lava, the curse of Sacrificial Renewal prevented him from feeling pain, and the curse of Light Body healed his injuries faster than he was burning.
But just as he recovered, another attack came—this time from Morkel's fist.
Caught off guard by the lava, Grey Orion couldn't dodge or block in time.
As a result, the attack hit him directly in the chest, creating a web of cracks in the space behind him before he suddenly disappeared and reappeared beside Morkel, punching him with near-infinite strength.
Morkel reacted quickly, counterattacking with his fist.
Their fists collided, but Grey Orion stood firm like a boulder, while Morkel was blown away into the distance.
Buzz!
At that moment, an overwhelming amount of energy caught Grey Orion's attention. He saw not one, not two, but ten Kitsuris coming toward him simultaneously, each with the same attack in their swords.
Grey Orion narrowed his eyes, recognizing the technique. The duplicates weren't real, but Kitsuri was moving so fast in different positions that she was creating speed mirages of herself.
