Chapter 559 Announcing White Flame's Death

CRACCKLLEEE!! SWWISSSHHH!!

As Orion swung his wrist forward, eighteen blunt, lightning-forged arrows shot forward, striking and electrocuting every last member of the Luminaris Clan, except one.

Anna scrunched her face in pain as she looked at her slightly electrocuted leg. Surprisingly, the blunt lightning arrow had only landed a few inches away from her legs, leaving a barely visible and slightly charred spot. 

She then shifted her gaze backwards to observe everyone's current situation, from her mother to the Luminaris Clan members who had attended the main engagement banquet, all lying charred on the ground, writhing and twitching as they gritted their teeth in pain. Her attention then turned to her already injured father, who seemed to have fainted from being hit once more. 

If she hadn't been able to feel his pulse, she would have thought that he was dead.

As Anna turned her head forward and locked eyes with Orion's calm gaze, an involuntary shiver ran down her spine.

"As the only one remaining, what decision do you want to make, or do you want me to make it for you?" Orion's voice echoed through the tense silence as he continued to fix his gaze on Maya's and Merida's youngest sister. 

She appeared frozen, fear evident in her eyes.

The sole reason he had spared her was that he didn't want to give her severe punishment, considering she seemed to be loved by both of her elder sisters.

Anna turned to look behind her once more, recalling that she was the sole survivor spared from Orion's vicious onslaught. Though she had an idea of why Orion had chosen to spare her life, she recognized that, as the only person left to make a decision, she needed to choose wisely in this pressing moment. 

Slowly rising from the floor, disregarding the stinging sensation in her legs, she sighed deeply in her heart, silently apologizing to her father.

"The Luminaris Clan, at this moment, steps down from their position of power and relinquishes every authority they own to the Crystalforge Clan," Anna declared, gritting her teeth in frustration. 

She then took a deep breath, understanding that she could do nothing more than ensure that the Luminaris Clan did not suffer the same fate as the Gemheart Clan.

Orion nodded in response.

As Anna realized she was now safe, her legs quickly gave up strength, forcing her to collapse back on the ground.

Orion then shifted his attention back toward Garnet and the rest of the Gemheart Clan, whose foreheads were now filled with sweat beads, before redirecting his gaze to everyone else. "And there's one more thing that I would like to say," Orion said seriously, his words resonating across the room.

All ears in the room, from the royal family to the former Major Clans, down to the smaller clans and families, perked up in uncertainty. The serious expression on Orion's face indicated the importance of what he was about to say, and everyone listened attentively.

Orion drew in a deep breath and spoke audibly, ensuring that every person in the room could hear him clearly.

"White Flame is dead!"

BOOOM!

As Orion's words reverberated, a collective explosion of shock echoed through their minds.

From the battered Garnet to Crystalia, Flintor, Elysia, Zephyrion, Elara, Olivia, Jadues, the Quartzwraith clan heirs, Ralais, Anna, and even the Luminaris Clan members who managed to stay conscious, gritting their teeth in anger upon hearing Anna's words, along with the other members of the former Major Clans and the smaller clans and families, everyone froze. 

They stared at Orion with wide eyes, a mix of shock, dumbfoundedness, and disbelief etched across their faces as they processed Orion's statement.

"White Flame is dead!"

"...Mr. Orion, what did you just say?" Ralais Prismaflow's voice trembled as he stared at Orion in shock and disbelief. 

"Is… Is White Flame really dead?" His hands shook with excitement as he awaited Orion's response.

If it were any other person delivering such a statement, they wouldn't have entertained the idea and might have punished someone attempting to make a joke out of such a claim. However, considering it was Orion who spoke, they not only dared not to doubt him but also understood that he had no reason to lie, especially in such a tense situation. 

Regardless, if Orion wasn't lying, then—

Orion nodded in response, "Yes, I killed him by myself, so I can say without a doubt that White Flame is dead," he affirmed.

"White Flame is dead," Ralias muttered under his breath, repeating it once more. 

He strangely felt as though these were the sweetest words he had ever tasted, and curiously, the sensation only intensified with each passing moment as he processed Orion's words.

He and everybody within the main engagement hall were experiencing the same sensation. Some felt their brains were short-circuited, struggling to comprehend the words they had just heard. 

It was as if they couldn't come to terms with the fact that the bloodthirsty entity that had loomed over them for longer than even their ancestors could remember, inflicting them with a curse they thought was unbreakable, was now... dead!

Olivia's lips trembled as she opened her mouth and asked, "...How?" posing the current question on everybody's mind.

Even if White Flame was significantly weaker than when he was a god, that didn't change the fact that he was still a god. No matter how strong Orion and the warriors he had brought were, doubts lingered about their ability to easily kill a god, especially considering their ancestors' failed attempts during the 'Three Great Slaughters.'

Understandably, after hearing Orion's words, they all wanted to know how he was able to accomplish the feat of killing White Flame by himself.

Orion immediately summoned the four-meter-long crimson greatsword.

BANGG!

As the four-meter-long crimson greatsword penetrated the ground, it caused spiderwebbed cracks to spread around it. All eyes were directed toward the four-meter-long crimson greatsword that seemed to possess an unnatural sharpness, glistening like a drop of blood with an otherworldly beauty.
