Chapter 367 367. Too Confident...
"So, what do you want? To eliminate me?" Orion asked, smiling.
The blue-haired man sneered. "You're right. I'm here to kill you. Our boss has given you and Mark a special status and ordered us to kill you both at any cost, and that's exactly what I'm going to do." His body began to glow with a bright blue aura.
Orion smiled at his confidence. "Alright, then show me what you've got," he said, beckoning him with his hand.
"Hehe," the blue-haired man chuckled before he shot towards Orion, transforming into six blue swords flying at an insane speed.
Orion's grin widened as he activated Blinding Speed, vanishing from his spot in an instant. His figure reappeared right in front of the six incoming swords, moving so fast that only a blur could be seen. With a swift thrust of his own blade, he countered the assault.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The clash of metal reverberated through the air as each of the six swords was deflected effortlessly. His strikes were precise, sending the blades spinning off into the distance, leaving them tumbling helplessly through the air.
"If that's all you've got, you're sorely mistaken if you think you can kill me," Orion chuckled.
"Oh, this is just the beginning," a voice came from one of the six swords. Suddenly, the swords shimmered and multiplied. One became two, two became four, and soon the air was filled with swords. They kept replicating, their numbers doubling over and over until 128 glowing blue swords hovered around Orion, encircling him completely.
The swords hummed with power, their blue light casting an eerie glow across the battlefield. Each sword pointed directly at him, leaving no room for escape, and the pressure in the air grew heavier as the swords prepared to strike.
"How is it? Do you like it?" A smirk sounded from one of the swords.
Orion glanced around, realizing he was surrounded. There was no gap for escape.
"Haha, after I eliminate you, I'll get the reward, and then... Hehehe," the voice from one of the swords said.
"Don't be happy too soon," Orion smiled as he stored his sword and clapped his hands.
A moment later, he opened them, revealing a small swirling tornado in his palm.
"Do you know what this is?" Orion asked, pointing at the small tornado.
"You think that wind can stop me? You're wrong! Nothing can stop me!" the voice laughed. "Here I come!"
All the swords surrounding Orion descended on him from every side.
Orion smiled confidently as he unleashed the true power of his technique. The small swirling vortex in his hand expanded with a roar, instantly transforming into a massive grey tornado that shot up toward the sky like a column of destruction.
The sheer force of the tornado pulled everything in its path—grass, dirt, stones—all were swept up in the raging winds. The 128 glowing swords were no exception. One by one, they were drawn into the storm, helpless against the sheer might of the tornado. They swirled chaotically within it, their blue light dimming as they clashed and collided with the debris.
"No! How can a wind control me?"
A fierce shout echoed from within the tornado, cutting through the howling winds. Suddenly, all 128 swords were expelled from the vortex, flying out in every direction. Some soared far into the distant forest, disappearing among the trees, while others crashed into the ground, shattering into fragments on impact.
But amid the chaos, one sword defied the storm's pull. It flew straight toward Orion, and with a swift movement, he caught it effortlessly mid-air. The blue glow of the sword pulsed faintly in his grip as he examined it, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips.
"What are you holding me for? Let me go!" The sword trembled as the voice echoed from it.
Orion chuckled and drew his own sword. "Let's see how strong your sword really is." He raised his sword high with his right hand, holding the transformed enemy sword in his left.

"Hmph! Are you trying to destroy me? What a fool! I'm a living weapon, one of the most durable in the world," the sword boasted proudly.
"Is that so?" Orion smiled, thinking the sword had far too much confidence. "I've heard my sword is unbreakable, so let's see which one is stronger."
"Go ahead and try, but don't blame me when your sword is the one that shatters!" the sword warned.
Orion smiled and swung his sword down onto the one in his left hand.
*Clang!*
With a flash of bright blue light, the sword in his left hand shattered into pieces, leaving nothing but fragments on the ground.
"No! How? No sword of the same level could break mine! How?!"
A panicked voice escaped from the sword before it glowed and vanished from Orion's sight.
"That guy had too much confidence in his strength and durability," Orion shook his head.
'Zeref, was it? I'll deal with you after the other two trials. Until then, eliminate as many as you can for me,' he thought with a smile as he flew towards the direction marked by the blue circle.

Elsewhere in Dreamshore, a woman with long white hair walked slowly around an amusement park, releasing white smoke. The park had all the attractions one would expect from a massive amusement park.
At this moment, many people were hiding in the Ferris wheel, the pirate ship, and other rides, their faces filled with panic as they held their breath, trying to remain undetected.
"You can't run from me," the white-haired woman chuckled. Her pale face was strikingly beautiful.
As she moved through the park, a wave of ice followed her. Wherever she stepped, the area froze over, turning rides and balloons into frozen sculptures.
The people hiding in the amusement park were also frozen in place as she slowly made her way from one end to the other.
"Oh," the white-haired woman suddenly stopped, and with her pause, the spreading ice halted as well.
