"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."
