Chapter 554 Facing Intimidation (2)
The citizens wouldn\'t sit idly by and bow their heads to an outsider, especially a foreigner who had slain one of their own.
This would indirectly affect the Crystalforge Clan, bringing even greater shame and humiliation for using external support to harm one of their own and attempt to regain their previous position of power.
Of course, all this wouldn\'t have been a problem if they were not a race imprisoned in a mountain for about 7,000 years, having only known themselves. For a society unaware of the outside world, unless Orion or the Crystalforge had plans to become dictators and eliminate every opposition, it was obviously a bad idea.
For Olivia, the uncertainty of not knowing what the people in front of them were capable of was a source of fear. As for Elara, the mystery of Orion\'s survival, considering his disappearance within the Divine lake essence, raised questions.
If Orion and the warriors he brought had followed him from outside the mountain, did that mean the Crystalforge clan\'s warriors had succeeded in defeating White Flame and were the ones who called for help?
If that were the case, weren\'t they the ones being insane for being unable to properly understand their current situation and the character of the people before them before taking such action?
Nevertheless, the deed had already been done, and what remained was how Orion and the other warriors besides him would respond.
Meanwhile, Orion raised his eyes at the individuals before him.
"Is the Prismerian Kingdom ready to make the necessary sacrifice to stop me from interfering?" he asked.
The various clan and family heads gritted their teeth in anger and frustration.
Elara and Olivia couldn\'t help but feel their hearts almost leap from their chests upon hearing Orion\'s words.
"Do you want an answer to that question?" Owen responded, his teeth gritting against one another as he stared at Orion, his dense magical energy filling the air around him.
Without waiting for Orion\'s response, he instantly vanished from his spot, appearing beside Orion and the others.
Elemental Amplification!
A burst of raging flames mixed with blinding light emanated from Owen\'s fist as he threw it towards Orion\'s head with enough force to cause him to fall unconscious.
He could have used \'Radiant Fusion,\' which was a much higher form of \'Elemental Amplification.\' However, he didn\'t want to kill Orion; he only planned to knock him out with enough force to capture him.
This way, they could use him to deal with the rest of the foreigners and also find out the location of his daughters.
However,
"BAANGG!!"
A firm feminine hand tightened around his fist, stopping the attack and dispersing the flames, halting him in his tracks.
Owen\'s eyes widened. He immediately tried to free himself and protect against the impending blow, but...
It was too late!
"BAMM!!"
A foot crashed into his chest like a boulder, causing him to tear away the rocks and crystals coating the ground, somersaulting through the air four times before coming to a stop with a "BANNGG!" as he landed on the floor, imprinting himself on it and shattering it to the extent that several inches long cracks formed around him.
"FATHER!!"
"HUSBAND!!"
"CLAN HEAD!!!"
Several figures, including his youngest daughter and his wife, rushed forward hysterically to check on his condition. Once they arrived, their faces immediately paled, as they could see that his chest was now bare, revealing the gruesome sight of several broken bones and numerous internal and external injuries.
Even as they tried their best to heal a part of his injuries, they could all tell that it was only because the Clan Head was someone at mid-tier Crystal Sage Rank that he was able to still grasp onto a sliver of his life even after such an attack, because if he wasn\'t—
They felt every hair on their body stand as an uncontrollable shiver passed through their spine.
"Good work, Gemma," Orion nodded in approval at the quick response of the woman beside him.
Gemma was one of the warriors in his Orion\'s sky. Fifi was busy holding up the massive water lightning sphere to ensure nobody escaped the Gemheart Clan manor. At the same time, the rest were busy securing the castle. Alongside the Prismerian kingdom, with the help of Iris and the other Crystalforge clan warriors, she and Seth were the ones he had chosen to accompany him in dealing with the Gemheart Clan.
Of course, it wasn\'t that he trusted Seth or needed his help, as Gemma\'s assistance was already enough. However, he didn\'t want Seth to be anywhere else except within arm\'s reach, where he could monitor his actions until they returned to the village.
Meanwhile, everyone else in the room couldn\'t help but take a deep breath at what they had just witnessed. Not only had the Luminaris Clan Head\'s ferocious attack been completely blocked and dispersed by a single hand, but... One kick!
All it took was one kick from one of the warriors accompanying Orion to injure the Luminaris Clan Head, sending him flying backwards and injuring him to the point that some sections of his bones were completely shattered.
He looked like he was barely grasping onto the last remaining threads of his life.
King Garnet\'s eyes had shrunk to the size of a needle as he felt his heart race several times faster.
