Chapter 555 Facing Intimidation (3)

Orion focused his attention on the injured Luminaris Clan Head before shifting his gaze back to King Garnet.

"You still haven't answered my question. Is the Prismerian Kingdom ready to make the necessary sacrifices to stop me from interfering?" he said.

King Garnet felt his cheeks flush with anger as he gritted his teeth together. "ATTACK HIM!" he ordered. However, contrary to his expectations, they all stood still, afraid of making a move.

And even if they weren't, who were they kidding?

After what they had just witnessed, even if they were presented with the opportunity to become the next royal family of the Prismerian Kingdom, there was no way they would risk their lives and fight against Orion and the two warriors beside him, who were capable of taking down one of the Four Major Clan Heads with just a kick.

Witnessing this scene, King Garnet fumed even more in anger, barely able to hold himself back as he turned his attention towards the Gemheart Clan guards. n)-OveLb1n

"WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? KILL THEM!" he roared, pointing a finger at Orion and the others.

He would rather fight to his last breath than lose everything he had worked so hard for, even if it meant going against opponents he had no chance of defeating. He had done it with the same Queen and won, so he was sure he could go against the odds and win again, no matter the cost.

The guards hesitated, not knowing what to do before burying their fear deep within their hearts and immediately charging forward.

lightsnοvεl Seeing this, Orion smiled. Although he had already considered another way to deal with this situation, it would be a shame if all he had to do was talk it out with them.

After all, given everything he had heard and seen, he wasn't planning on being peaceful until he had given them a piece of his mind.

"Don't worry, stay back and protect them. I can handle this," Orion said to Seth and Gemma, who were about to take a step forward.

He instantly released his Vylkr energy from both containers and charged forward, straight towards the charging guards.

CRACCKLLEEE!!

He activated his gift as he met one of the soldiers head-on, wielding a sword toward him. The moment his lightning-coated fist came in contact with the guard's head...

BAAMM!! POPP!!

Before he could react, his head exploded into a gruesome pile of blood and various torched chunks of flesh.

Even before his body could hit the ground, Orion immediately dashed towards the next guard. He used his right arm to clench the guard's arm, charring and ripping it off before he ran his lightning-coated fist towards his head, causing it to explode and burst into another gruesome charred chunk of flesh and blood. Before he quickly went towards his next victim.

Within three breaths, four of the eleven guards had been killed by Orion with a single attack, without even having the chance to react, without much effort.

Meanwhile, the crowds all looked dumbfounded, their eyes not missing the scene as the guards dropped dead heedlessly to the ground within a few breaths.

They immediately cursed under their breaths before turning around and heading towards the door. As long as they got out of there first, they could think of a way to deal with the massive water lightning barrier.

Even King Garnet knew this wasn't a battle he could win alone, so he instantly turned around, using the opportunity behind him to escape from this mess and figure out how to deal with it later.

"COVER ME!!" He roared at the rest of the guards around him to protect him as he channelled all of his magical energy and raced towards the door.

Orion saw this after he had just beheaded all eleven guards. He was about to order Seth and Gemma to handle the situation before he noticed two figures rush past him. In the next moment, several chilling bone-cracking sounds rang deeply within the ears of everyone present, before various screams began resonating loudly in the air.

"AHH! MY LEGS!!"

"HELP ME!! I CAN'T FEEL MY LEGS!!"

Every single person who had attempted to escape lay on the floor with one of their legs broken, screaming out in pain, experiencing a level of agony they had never felt since they had ascended.

King Garnet was among those unable to move, barely holding in his guttural screams before he immediately felt a tight grip around his neck, causing his eyes to widen in fear as he saw the owner of the hand who slowly dragged him upwards.

Seeing this scene, everyone held their breath as their screams immediately ceased, afraid of suddenly becoming the centre of attention.

"It seems that the Prismerian Kingdom isn't ready to make the necessary sacrifice to stop me," Orion said, tightening his grip as he narrowed his eyes at King Garnet.

King Garnet's eyes widened, "... Don't kill me! If you kill me, I promise you that you..." Before he could even complete his sentence, the grip around his throat tightened, causing him to choke out the rest of his words.

Deciding not to waste any more time, Orion used a fraction of his strength and slammed it into King Garnet's gut. King Garnet took a sharp breath, still choking as Orion held onto his throat.

However, before he could even begin to plea for his life, another punch slammed straight into his gut, causing a mouthful of blood to pour out of his mouth.

A few more punches followed, causing him to almost fall unconscious before slipping back into consciousness.

Although Orion could have ended his life here and now, he still felt it wouldn't be satisfying enough, which he instantly understood was only because of their vast disparity in strength.

Staring at the half-lidded eyes of the weakened and battered King Garnet, Orion shifted his attention to the rest of the guests whose legs had been broken, causing them to flinch backwards in fright.

Then he shifted his attention toward the others, who directed their eyes to the side, some even staring downward, not daring to make eye contact, except for the Luminaris Clan, who were all staring daggers at him.
