Chapter 310: 310. Fearing More Than Being Attacked by Platinum Rank Killers

Orion nodded and said, "Well, I also believe the platinum rank killers aren’t that powerful. Since no one is left in the villa, they could have already come and killed us, but they are waiting for us to step outside. This means they’re afraid to fight us when we’re gathered together. I think when we go outside, we’ll be entering their territory, where they’ll be ready to launch a sneak attack.

So, I believe it’s a good opportunity for us to go out there and surprise them."

He looked at the others and added, "We shouldn’t waste any more time. When the battle begins, one of us can slip away and contact the guild. How does that sound?"

"Doable," Erza said, turning to Victor and Henry. "What do you guys think?"

"I’m alright with it," Victor nodded.

Henry gritted his teeth but also nodded. Realizing that waiting would do them no good, he decided to gamble and fight the killers waiting outside.

"Alright, we’ll proceed with the plan when Roman and Rudy get back," Erza said.

Not long after, Roman and Rudy returned with dejected expressions. "There’s no one in the villa. We checked every corner and found no one," Roman said, sounding disheartened.

Erza sighed and said to them, "We have to go outside and fight those two platinum rank killers."

Roman and Rudy were shocked at first, but seeing everyone’s resolute expressions, they helplessly nodded.

"Before we go, let’s arrange a battle formation," Victor suggested. "Since these two platinum rank killers are like a boss to us in a dungeon, we might as well organize ourselves for their attack."

Erza thought for a moment and nodded. "You’re the best strategist here, so you suggest the roles for each of us."

Victor nodded and considered it for a moment. "I need someone fast, who can move from the back of the group to the front in seconds."

"That would be me." Both Orion and Mark stepped forward at the same time, exchanging a sneer.

Victor nodded. "Orion, your role will be at the back of the group. If an attack comes from behind, warn the others and help with your speed."

Turning to Mark, he added, "You’ll be at the front, helping others if they’re attacked or fighting the killers."

"We’ll be fine," Orion replied quietly.

However, as soon as he said that, he spun around and saw a golden beam of light coming from behind.

"We’re being attacked!"

He shouted to warn the others, drawing his sword and moving toward the golden beam of light.

At that moment, the golden beam had come so close that it illuminated the surroundings, catching everyone’s attention.

"Curse Transformation!"

Orion immediately activated his sub-ability, Curse Transformation of the Stormcaller curse, channeling its power into his sword just as the golden beam of light hurtled toward him.

With a swift swing, his blade met the radiant beam, and the impact unleashed a furious storm of wind in every direction. The golden cascade of light crackled and surged, clashing violently with Orion’s storm-infused strike, filling the air with a blinding display of power.

Feeling the golden beam beginning to weaken, Orion acted quickly. He deactivated Curse Transformation in an instant, allowing the force of the attack to propel him backward.

His body shot through the air at high speed, and when he hit the ground, his feet dug into the concrete path, skidding as he slid to a stop. Deep grooves were left in his wake, but he had positioned himself perfectly—right in front of his group as he came to stop.

He did this intentionally, masking his true strength. By letting the force of the attack push him back, he ensured that no one would suspect he could easily withstand the full brunt of a Platinum rank expert’s strike.

To the others, it appeared as though he had been overwhelmed by the sheer power of the beam, retreating just in time to avoid being seriously injured.

In reality, he had gauged the attack perfectly, knowing he could have taken it head-on without issue. But keeping that hidden was all part of his plan.
