Chapter 316: 316. I can call the storm with a wave of my hand, summon lightning at my command
Orion only hoped that, aside from the sniper in the tower, there were no more killers hiding in the shadows.
However, one thing that made Orion's heart turn cold was the fact that even though they hadn't caused much injury to the killer with their strength, they had created enough explosions and light shows that should have been visible to others—or at the very least, someone should have heard the commotion. But no one came to check.
This situation made Orion feel like something was wrong.
At that moment, Orion realized something. 'Could this be a restricted space?'
Only in such a situation would others passing by the highway be unable to notice them. If that was indeed the case, then Orion had something that might help them escape.
"What happened?" Mark asked when he noticed Orion's expression suddenly change.
"Give me a sec," Orion said and activated the Curse of Dimensional Dissonance, trying to move into his own dimension, but he couldn't.
"We're inside a restricted space," Orion exclaimed to Mark.
"Restricted space?" Mark frowned. He understood the precariousness of their situation. If what Orion said was true, then no one was coming to save them.
"I have Space Tear with me. It can create a restricted space, so it should also be able to break one," Orion said, taking out a blue teardrop-shaped object.
"Let's regroup, then," Mark said, moving towards Erza and the others. Orion followed him.
At that moment, Erza and the others were blocking attacks from the killer in the distant tower, who was shooting at them with golden lights. He hadn't stopped attacking.
Luckily, the sniper wasn't a 9th-level Platinum rank; otherwise, they'd be doomed facing a ranged attack from someone of that level.
Orion and Mark appeared in front of them, surprising the group.
"What happened to the killer?" Victor asked.
"We don't have time for that. Erza, take this. It's a cosmic treasure called Space Tear. It can easily form a restricted space, but I need you to put all your energy into breaking this one," Orion said, handing her the Space Tear.
The others nodded as well and flew off in different directions, descending towards the ground.
"Take care of yourself," Erza said before flying away.
Tracy gave Orion a look filled with concern before following the others.
Now, only Orion, Mark, and the killer remained, all still falling.
"So, tell me, who are you?" Orion asked the killer.
The killer didn't answer. He glanced in the directions the others had escaped before focusing back on Orion and Mark.
"I never expected to fail my mission because of two Gold rank brats," the killer said darkly. "But it's good that you two didn't run with the others. At least I'll have something to bring back to my group." He sneered sinisterly.
"Hey Mark, isn't this the same useless killer who failed to take out a bunch of Gold rank kids?" Orion asked mockingly.
Mark chuckled. "Now that you mention it, I do remember someone who got his ass handed to him by two Gold rank experts just a moment ago."
Orion laughed. "But he's threatening us again. That's starting to make me mad. You know what happens when I get angry, right?"
Mark sneered. "I've heard gods themselves tremble when that happens. What's this guy gonna do?"
"ENOUGH!" The killer flew towards them, but he was slower in the air than he had been on the ground.
"Did you forget? You're in my domain up here," Orion said with a smirk. "I can call the storm with a wave of my hand, summon lightning at my command. You're nothing in the face of that power."
With a wave of his hand, Orion summoned a tornado that formed so quickly even he was surprised. He knew his Stormcaller Curse would be more powerful in the sky than on the ground, but this was on a whole new level.
