I Can Copy Curses

Chapter 244: 244. Night of the Banquet - 9

Whispers began to spread among the guests as Orion voiced those questioning words. All the people present in the hall were well-known figures, and they understood the true nature of the 'Archons.'

Therefore, Orion's words were like adding fuel to an already established fact that had been buried deep inside their hearts. Those buried doubts began to resurface as Orion's words echoed through the hall.

The guests started questioning each other and themselves, wondering if Orion's words held any truth. The answers they found made their hearts grow cold.

Luna could hear all the whispers circulating around the hall, and her expression turned cold.

"Shut up!" she shouted.

"If I hear any of you say another word about the Archons, you will be dead."

She threatened them blatantly.

Then, turning to Orion, her eyes burning with rage, she said, "I can kill you for spreading misinformation about the Archons. Do you know that?"

"Kill me?" Orion laughed, but then, as if realizing something, his expression suddenly changed.

"I see..." he murmured, coming to an understanding. "So, when someone doesn't adhere to your tyrannical ways, you kill them. And when your higher-ups ask about the culprit, you simply say you caught them, but they tried to escape, so you had no choice but to kill them. What Archons! What noble people you are!"

His words echoed throughout the hall. Many people gulped when they heard him. Although they chose not to believe all of Orion's words, the possibility that some of them might be true chilled them to the bone.

Orion spoke without fear, once again gambling his life—relying on the Sword Sage, believing that with him present, Luna wouldn't dare to act against him. That was also why he had been acting so arrogantly.

He had no choice but to act this way. He couldn't let her successfully blame him, or everything he had done would be for nothing.

"Enough!" Luna shouted again, silencing the crowd in the hall.

"And you," she then turned to look at Orion, "You are coming with me to the Archons."

"Nope, not gonna happen," Kane interjected before Orion could even reply.

"What do you mean?" Orion asked at that moment.

Luna laughed with a sinister expression. "It means you are under arrest for killing four young masters of the Archons."

"I said not gonna happen," Kane declared, stepping between Luna and Orion.

"Do you really want to interfere?" Luna asked coldly.

Kane nodded lightly. "I don't want to. I really don't want to, but if you're planning on taking Orion, I have no choice but to interfere."

Luna's expression shifted several times before she made a decision.

"Do you know what this is?" She took out a red square-shaped medallion, with a golden phoenix etched onto it.

"The War Medallion!" Kane uttered in shock.

Not only him, but Emperor Maximus and all the guests were equally shocked. They couldn't believe she would use the War Medallion at this time. They understood the significance of the War Medallion and how it could affect the entire three domains if she were to use it.

The strongest powers from both the Human Federation Realm and Martial Domain hadn't come; otherwise, they would have certainly protested this with Emperor Maximus. Only the second-in-command of the two domains had attended the banquet.

Kane's demeanor turned completely serious, his usual playful smile replaced by a somber expression.

"You're willing to go this far just to bring back someone who may or may not be the culprit, just so you can punish him?"

"You leave me with no choice," Luna laughed madly. "Either choose to protect Orion, or prepare for a war between the three domains—or should I say, a war between the Human Federation Realm and Martial Domain versus the Magus Kingdom."

"You know that the other races might start a war with us in five years. If an internal conflict at the domain level were to happen, we would lose the war before it could even begin," Kane said seriously.

Luna sneered. "You think I care?" She laughed crazily.

Kane frowned heavily. He understood many things about the Medallion and knew that only a few chosen could ever hold something like that.

Even if he were to forcefully take it from her, it would automatically return to her.

The War Medallion was no common item, for it was one of the eight cosmic wonders like the Mirror of Black and White, which was created during the dawn of the universe.

Unlike the Mirror of Black and White, the War Medallion was unpredictable, choosing its master frequently and seemingly at random. One day it could be in the possession of a mighty warrior, and the next, it might find its way to a humble farmer. Its selection process remained a mystery, leaving scholars and mystics puzzled for millennia.

What was known, however, was the sheer magnitude of its power. The War Medallion was a relic that could alter the fate of entire worlds. When activated, it had the potential to unleash forces so devastating that they could bring ruin not just to the three domains—realms of existence within the universe—but possibly to the cosmos itself.

Due to this reason, there was another name the War Medallion became famous for—Medallion of Calamity. For one might not know when it reached in the hands of a madman, resulting in a war that would end the entire universe.

"So, what's your choice?" Luna asked at that moment.

As if she thought of something, she added: "Don't think of any tricks here. You should know the one who holds the War Medallion is the real KING of this universe and at the moment, the person is me."
