"Come on, dogs," Barionughed provocatively. He had known about Orion''s n beforeing here since Orion had specifically told them where to stand in the hall if things took a turn for the worse.


    He didn''t ask what the n was, nor did he suspect anything. This time, he simply trusted his son. Besides, he was clueless about how to escape from this situation, so he could only let his mysterious son handle it.


    He would be a fool not to notice that his son had changed. He also had suspicions about the deaths of Carl''s group being Orion''s doing, but he only suspected it because of the circumstances. It was too much of a coincidence. However, he didn''t dig into the matter.


    And now that his son had taken charge of their escape, the least he could do was protect the family until then.


    "Barion, it''s been a while since we fought," Munroughed as his figure was engulfed in silver mes. Meanwhile, Varen summoned a dark wolf.


    Barion sneered and activated his talent, causing his skin to change color to ck. At the same time, patterned markings appeared all over his body—patterns that usually etched onto wood.


    As the name suggested, the Darkwood family had the talent to control wood elements, but only direct descendants received this talent in each generation, and this generation''s wood talent was obtained by Aron Darkwood.


    Wood also had many varieties in terms of power, and because of this, Aron''s wood talent had some elements of earth, while Barion''s wood talent had elements of hardness. He could make his body as hard as possible.


    Seeing Barion''s transformation, both Varen and Munro attacked him, and Barion eagerly received their attack and fought back.


    Orion noticed his father''s fight and didn''t worry about him. His father might be ranked 90th in the celestial ranking, but the other two weren''t even in the top 100.


    Witnessing the two leaders of the Magus Kingdom leading the attack on the Darkwood family, the others hesitated no longer and joined in the assault.


    Every possible elemental skill—fire, water, lightning, earth—was used in a continuous attack on the Darkwood Family. Energy filled the air as the attacksbined, causing the ground to shake intensely.


    When Orion saw the immense force approaching, he knew he had to respond quickly. Utilizing the Curse of the Lord of Darkness in Curse Transformation mode, he invoked a dome of imprable ckness around his entire family.


    The dome of pure, pitch-ck darkness shielded the Darkwood Family like a protective cloak. The dark barrier momentarily halted the iing attacks as they collided with it forcefully. The dome absorbed the first attack, its surface rippling and distorting while enduring the force.


    Yet, the strength of the diamond rank specialists proved overwhelming; their assaults sessfully pierced sections of the dome, forming openings in its otherwise imprable covering.


    However, before they could fully exploit those vulnerabilities, Orion''s mother, Olivia, intervened. With a gesture, she altered the earth below them, causing the ground to shift and create arge, sturdy shield.


    The huge earthen barrier, solid andpact, stood tall against the oing assaults, protecting the family from danger. Olivia''s creation withstood the elemental strikes that breached the dome, as they pounded against the earth shield without breaking through.


    "Elders, I will maintain the defensive dome. You handle the ones you can, and make sure to kill them," Orion requested of the elders who hade to the banquet with them.


    They nodded, stepped out of the dome, and attacked those who were targeting them, engaging in fierce battles.


    Orion dispersed the dome and turned his attention to the Archons. They hadn''t attacked yet, and he was thankful for that, though he didn''t believe they would refrain from attackingter. They were most likely waiting for the others to do the dirty work.


    Then there were also those from Carl''s family who were looking at his family like hunters stalking prey.


    Orion ignored everything else and concentrated solely on the relentless enemy assault. Their attacks were strong and unyielding, forcing his mother to constantly create defensive barriers using the dirt and terrain nearby.


    With every blow, she fashioned tall barriers, sturdy walls, and indestructible shields from the surrounding terrain in an effort to fend off the attack. The earth shook beneath her powerful actions, and wreckage scattered as her creations bore the brunt of the assaults.


    Even though she tried her hardest, the enemy continued to attack relentlessly, pushing her earth defenses to their limits with each wave of aggression.


    Seeing that his mother was struggling, Orion activated the Curse of Supreme Gravity on the enemies who were attacking them. The gravitational force in the area around their attackers intensified exponentially, creating an overwhelming pressure that bore down on them.


    tinum rank experts and those of lower levels suddenly found themselves struggling to stand. The force was so powerful that many were forced to their knees, their bodies buckling under the unexpected weight. The weaker enemies, unprepared for such a sudden shift in gravity, werepletely overwhelmed. They were mmed to the ground with bone-crushing force, unable to resist the immense pressure.


    But at that moment, Orion noticed from the corner of his eye that Luna, along with everyone from the Archons, was making their way towards them.


    However, Orion didn''t seem worried; a slight smile even appeared on his face when he saw theming.


    There was a reason he hadn''t been actively attacking the enemies with his arsenal of curses, using them only for support purposes. It was because all his energy had been focused on reality maniption this entire time, and now it wasplete.


    Orion could, if he wanted, teleport his family out of this ce to a distant at any moment.


    Therefore, he wasn''t worried about his family now that he had a way to save them all.


    Also, he could finally use the other three curses that had been active in Curse Transformation mode sincest night. He had been preparing something big, and now it was time to unleash it.
