"Heh." Orion smiled as he sensed the power of the Stormcaller curse swirling in the air high above the ground.
"You're too slow." He grinned, looking back at the killer before using his Tornado Sweep to strike.
"Don't underestimate me, kid!" The killer snarled, punching through the tornado and dispersing it with ease.
Orion sneered and spread his hands wide, creating three tornadoes that converged from different directions, trapping the killer in their swirling winds.
"Now, off you go. Don't come back." Orion waved his hand as the three tornadoes carried the killer away, slowly vanishing into the distance.
The killer's physical strength and speed were his greatest assets, but in the air, he couldn't use them to their full potential, which made him easy prey for Orion.
Orion knew that sending him away was all he could do for now. This would aid in their escape at the moment. Also killing him would take more time, and he wasn't sure if he could finish him off even with his increase in strength in the air, so he opted for this approach. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let him escape so easily.
"Let's head out as well," Orion said to Mark. He also wanted to escape fast now that the killer was blown away by his attack who knew when he would return and blocked their path again.
Mark nodded, and they flew down toward the Hunter Association headquarters in Masturi City.
**** Your next chapter awaits on мѵʟ
An hour later, at the headquarters of the Hunter Association in Masturi City, many luxury cars—and even a few flying cars—landed outside the building.
A crowd of thousands stood outside the Association, many reporters with microphones plugged in, while drones hovered in the air, broadcasting live footage of the event.
"We've just received news that some of the geniuses at the party hosted by the Hunter Association were attacked by unknown killers. Though the identities of the assailants are unclear, they were strong enough to pose a deadly threat. However, a few brave geniuses managed to fight back and escape. We'll bring you more details as they come in. Stay tuned."
"But you can't escape responsibility, Zemiri. Because of your guild members, two of my geniuses are dead." Kelly's voice was thick with rage.
"I understand, and I take responsibility," Zemiri responded solemnly. "But according to Erza, Mark, and the others, the killer mentioned seeking revenge." She paused before adding, "Do any of you have any idea who they are or where they're from? Someone must be pulling the strings behind Lucas."
"I have no idea," Billy said after a light cough. "I searched the database, but I couldn't find any trace of them in our city."
"The kids said one of the killers was at the 9th level of Platinum rank, while the other was in the early Platinum ranks. They claimed these killers wanted to overthrow the Hunter Association's rule and spread chaos across Planet Nios," Kelly said, having calmed down.
"Hmm." Zemiri nodded. "I gathered as much, but we still don't know who they are."
"Well, I've found something interesting." A voice interrupted their conversation. It was a man in his forties with milk-white hair and a playful smile always hanging on his face.
"Cody, what did you find?" Billy asked as he noticed the man.
"Hehe, I had a suspicion when Victor mentioned the killers seeking revenge, so I left quickly, saying I'd be back in an hour." Cody glanced at Zemiri, Kelly, and Billy. "And guess what I found?"
"Spit it out, Cody. I'm not in the mood for games," Kelly said, his frustration evident.
Cody chuckled lightly before adopting a more serious tone. "When I heard about the revenge angle, I decided to check if guilds in other cities had suffered the same fate. And guess what I found? Two squads of geniuses from two other guilds were killed just hours ago."
