643 Are You Sure He Isn't A God?
Witnessing this scene, Orion immediately remembered forgetting to reduce its weight. He looked at Aerialia from the corner of his eyes since she was partly in control of the Crimson greatsword.
Aerialia quickly understood Orion's gaze and snorted loudly before she reduced the weight of the Crimson greatsword.
Orion shifted his attention back to Fifi, "You can carry it; it won't be as heavy as it was before," Orion said.
Though there was a bit of scepticism in his eyes, Fifi nodded in response and bent down to pick up Orion's Crimson greatsword. To her surprise, though she could still feel the incredible weight of the Crimson greatsword in her hands, which she clenched tightly with both hands when compared to before, the greatsword felt incredibly light.
She could also sense power emanating from the Crimson greatsword even without swinging it.
"Since you can wield it, you can use the Crimson greatsword in case of any emergencies," Orion said, looking at the encroaching Vylkr vines, which he had pushed back with the help of the mountain before they had stepped out of the mountain.
Fifi furrowed her brows at Orion's words and shifted her attention towards the approaching Vylkr vines.
Since Orion had confidently brought out this many people outside the mountain, she had thought he already had a plan on how he would protect them.
"However, in the meantime, he will handle things from here," Orion said as he stretched his hands and lightly grazed his knuckles on top of the large box made from rock and crystal.
The large box suddenly trembled.
At first, Fifi was confused about what Orion was talking about. However, as she witnessed the box tremble when he lightly rasped his knuckle against it, the intensity of the trembling increased, attracting the attention of those around them.
Before Fifi could ask Orion what was happening…
WHOOOSSHH!!
An immense divine energy erupted out of the box, spreading in all directions and enveloping everyone within its vicinity.
Feeling the familiar pressure again, Fifi became instantly stunned as she took in her surroundings.
The encroaching Vylkr vines were no longer advancing!
It was as though someone had erected an invisible wall, preventing them from passing through, no matter how much they tried. Everyone was astounded by the scene, from Fifi to the warriors who had prepared to face the encroaching Vylkr vines to the rest of the Prismerions witnessing the Vylkr vines and the desolate world around them.
"This…" Seth stuttered as he struggled to find the right words for the unfolding scene.
Just a few seconds ago, he was waiting for Orion's skies to descend so they could board them. In the next second, an immense pressure, similar to what he had experienced from the god below the garden, suddenly descended on their shoulders. It then spread out, forming a protective shield against the Vylkr vines.
This was the first time Seth had seen something like this. He instantly turned his head towards Orion, focusing on the strange large box beside him.
Seth gulped deeply as he couldn't help but think, 'A god.'
Without a doubt, Seth believed a familiar god was locked up within that strange box.
"Orion, don't tell me that…?" Queen Selene couldn't help but walk up and ask, her eyes firmly glued to the box as she sensed its immense divine energy.
Observing Orion's gaze, Queen Selene gulped down deeply. She had been wondering where the god—the divine being below the garden, responsible for making Flintor and the rest apostles of a foreign god—was as they made their way out of the mountain.
However, who would have thought he was already before her, locked up in a box nonetheless?
Queen Selene now understood why Orion had carried the box from the castle to outside the mountain.
Apart from finding it difficult to stand before the immense divine energy emanating from it, she was unsure if she could even trust her own elite warriors to handle the box properly, especially after learning that there was a god within it.
Orion witnessed Queen Selene's expression and instantly shook his head, a deep sigh escaping his mouth.
"Don't worry, I will handle this. Just focus on your people and make sure that they stay calm and remain in order," Orion said, his eyes fixed on Queen Selene.
Queen Selene nodded immediately in response.
Seeing that everything was taken care of, Orion left the box in Fifi's care before he walked towards the mountain.
The whole area fell into a hushed silence, with everyone's gaze fixed on Orion's location.
As he quietly arrived before the mountain again, their eyes followed his every move.
"What is he trying to do?" Seth said, squinting his eyes at Orion as he tried to scrutinize his actions.
For some reason, he felt Orion was about to do something astounding again.
Meanwhile, as Orion stood before the mountain, he stretched his right hand forward and pressed it on the surface of the mountains. At first, nothing happened; however, within a few minutes, the mountain began to tremble.
Seth's gut feeling proved correct when he witnessed the enormous mountain tremble. Instead of boarding Orion's sky, he decided to stay on the ground and accompany them on their journey, much like Fifi.
Nonetheless, before the already stunned and astounded onlookers, the enormous mountain, once firmly grounded, suddenly uprooted with a resounding rumble and gradually ascended into the air, leaving behind a deep and frightening chasm in the ground.
The previously silent atmosphere suddenly became eerily quiet as everyone witnessed this scene with shock written all over their faces.
"Clan leader, are you seeing this?" one of the Prismaflow elders exclaimed, disbelief etched across their face.
The mountain that had ascended into the sky wasn't just any mountain; it was the same mountain where Naka had imprisoned them. For over 7,000 years, they suffered the ruthless onslaught of White Flame within its confines. And now, that very mountain had been effortlessly uprooted by Orion.
Ralias nodded in response, observing the scene intensely, his face mirroring his profound shock.
At this point, Ralias couldn't help but entertain the thought that maybe... Orion was Naka!
He had to be! It was the only explanation he could fathom for the incredible scene unfolding before him.
