I Can Copy Curses

Chapter 249: 249. Banquet of Blood - 1

"No! Why are you after my family? I was the one who killed them, not my family!" Orion shouted at Merlin, his voice a mixture of despair, panic, and anxiety.

Merlin sneered. "Just because I want to."

Many guests in the hall felt a chill when they heard Merlin's reasoning. Just because he wanted to, he would kill the entire Darkwood Family? Their hearts grew cold as they realized the twisted nature of the Archons.

"You!" Orion was left speechless. He finally understood why everyone in the world feared the Archons so much.

"This is the way of the Archons? The rule of anarchy? Kill anyone you want? Is the Celestial Court doing anything?" he raged, cursing Merlin.

"Only strength matters," Merlin grinned, turning to the others. "What are you all waiting for? Kill every single one of the Darkwood Family, and you will be heavily rewarded by the Archons. If you hesitate, you will follow the same path as the Darkwood Family."

Threatened by Merlin, the other guests in the hall began slowly advancing towards the Darkwood Family. They were helpless. They didn't want to die, and if killing the Darkwood Family would allow them to return home, they would do it. At this point, they just wanted to stay as far away from the Magus Kingdom as possible.

While some felt no pity and were even excited about the annihilation of the Darkwood Family, there were still a few powers that hadn't acted against them, such as Estor's Ravenclaw Family, Runo's family, and major families from the Martial Domain and Human Federation Realm.

Only the third-level powers moved against the Darkwood Family, and surprisingly, the Silverflame Family and Grimwolf Family were among them.

"Damn it!" Orion quickly teleported in front of his family. Since Merlin had only restricted the space around him where he was previously standing, Orion didn't feel any restrictions when he teleported to his family's side.

"Oh, you can teleport too," Merlin remarked, slightly surprised. He then turned to his daughter. "Capture Orion and his father, and kill the rest of his family."

Luna nodded but didn't act immediately. By now, the other guests in the hall were already closing in on the Darkwood Family.

"Are you done?" Kane asked.

Merlin nodded.

"Then come to the sky," Kane said, flying upward and breaking through the roof of the palace, appearing in the sky.

Merlin also flew up, facing Kane.

Orion looked around and saw nearly half the people in the hall approaching his family. Their faces looked helpless, but they were still coming to kill his family.

"Father, I'll explain everything later, but first, protect the family," he said to his father.

Barion nodded solemnly. "I know."

"Mother, look after Ella," Orion said to his mother.

Olivia nodded with a serious expression.

Orion looked at Emily, and she nodded in understanding.

He then turned his attention to the people coming to kill his family. There were many of them, and most were experts beyond the platinum rank.

'This is worse!'

Before coming here, he had prepared for many things, but it never occurred to him that the Archons would want to murder his family in broad daylight, in front of so many people.

'Damn this Merlin guy!'

Everything had happened because of him. Orion still couldn't believe that this man, ranked 3rd in the celestial ranking, wanted them dead. If not for Kane, he was certain Merlin would have killed his family with his own hands.

But one thing he was fortunate about was that the situation wasn't completely hopeless. Last time when he had left his room through the window, he had prepared something.

'Looks like I can only use that.'

Orion turned around and saw that all his family members were standing in the positions he had asked them to before coming here.

'But the energy isn't enough to teleport so many people.'

He frowned. Since last night, four of his curses had been active in Curse Transformation mode, and one of them was the Curse of Reality Fracture. When he first activated it, he discovered he could do much more advanced things than simple teleportation, one of which was altering reality.

But that required a huge amount of energy. He had been supplying energy to the positions where his family members were standing since last night, but it still wasn't enough to do what he wanted.

He could feel he was close to completion, and only a little more time was needed, but at the moment, he didn't even have a moment to spare.

'It seems like I'll have to buy some time.'

Orion thought and looked at the guests surrounding his family.

"You don't have to do this. The Sword Sage won't let you guys die in his dome," he tried to persuade them, invoking the name of the Sword Sage.

"Sword Sage?" One of the guests, who seemed to be only at the diamond rank, gave a hollow laugh. "He wants to start a war among all three domains. He's a madman who acts on whims. I can't rely on him to save my life." He took out a bow and aimed it at Orion's family.

Orion's expression darkened. "So, you're going to kill my family for this?"

"Haha," the guest laughed cruelly. "If I can survive the banquet, then why not?"

Orion took a deep breath. "Then don't blame me or my family when you, or any of you, die here." He spoke each word with ruthless determination.

If they wanted to kill his family, he wouldn't hesitate to kill them either.

"Killing us?" Munro, the head of the Silverflame Family, mocked. "You should focus on how to survive. With so many people coming to kill you, you're still thinking of killing us? What a fool!"

"They're just trash, but it's good anyway. After tonight, another magi family will disappear from the Magus Kingdom," added Varen Grimwolf, the head of the Grimwolf Family.

"Munro, Varen, you two dogs, come here and fight!" Barion shouted provocatively at this moment.

"Huh, Varen, let's go and kill Barion first. He looks like he's begging for death," Munro laughed.

Varen nodded, and they both headed towards Barion.
