ORION

ORION
2 Enemies and Poison


Hiding in silence. Orion at least hopes for today alone to be a quiet day.


But, uh,


Geck, tok!


There was a knock on the door at this bar. Orion begins to hide behind the bartender's desk. Not long after the door of the bar opened slowly and two men who were dressed closed.


Orion put his index finger in front of his lips, hinting at the bartender not to tell his whereabouts to those who just entered.


It was a pretty cold situation they all felt. Especially the customers who could be counted on the fingers, they felt a strong threat once the two men came politely.


“Karura, can't you do something to me? Blurry view. I'm afraid she can't see because of this poison,” Orion pinta in her mind to Karura to do something about her poison.


“Which way I could, stupid. The foreign liquid was also strange. Hold on first,” replied Karura which made Orion very disappointed.


Finally Orion tried to focus himself, by listening to the sound of footsteps approaching.


A few seconds later, the sound of footsteps stopped. The two of them sat down in front of the bartender's table and stared intently at the bartender.


“Uncle! Have you ever seen someone just come in here? He's a man whose right arm is covered in a black robe.” One of them asked.


Before replying, the bartender glanced down and looked back at the two with worried faces.


“Ti-no.” Nervous as he shook his head.


“Hah!? That right? I smell lies here. Just say!”


“True. No customer has just arrived except the two of you,” said Bartender bowing his head.


There was a sense of worry as well as fear when facing two mysterious men. Of course for ordinary people will not be able to withstand inner pressure like this. It was like wanting to strangle their own necks, the cold weather was as if making their bodies freeze.


“Do not lie, uncle!”


“Eh! Nah! I am not lying. I am very honest!” the bartender squealed even more.


The customers seem to be about to leave this place. There were whispers commenting on what they saw today. However, their legs are difficult to move. It was as if they would vanish if they moved just a little.


Brak!


One of them hit the table. He got up and pulled the collar of the bartender's clothes violently.


“Tell me the truth! Where is he! Or you and everyone here will die!” threatened with rough behavior.


After a buzz from him, this place became shaken. The strong vibration even caused all the broken drink bottles to fall down spilling all their contents.


Orion flinched, he was still in his position to hide longer. However, the lives of everyone in this place are in danger. Orion can't keep hiding behind the bartender's desk.


“Come! Say it! Where is he!?”


“Hey, relax a little. Your power could knock this place down in an instant.” Then his friend patted him on the shoulder, trying to calm him down.


“Argh! You're the one who doesn't work hard. I know it's here!” his rampage hit the table once more.


“If you're looking for him just ask this guy, obviously he doesn't know. Could have been him hiding near here.”


The man who looked very relaxed showed his fingers sparkling. Like something was sticking up.


“Wait, what are you doing?” The rude man asked.


“What else if not to lure it. I heard he was more concerned with the lives of others than himself.”


“A-what? Then why did he just run into a place that there are many people?”


“Because his sight is reduced, you think he'll know where he's going to hide?”


The rude man was surprised. And when his friend lifted his chin forward, he understood that the person they were looking for was in plain sight.


“Wait, I'm the one being targeted, right?”


Orion appeared without a care. Because he had already been caught by them before even entering this place.


“Wah, she actually appeared.”


“It looks like you guys are not proficient in close combat?” chirps Orion.


Dak!


Orion stomped his feet firmly to the floor. He pulled out a robe and deliberately exposed his fiery right arm.


Everyone was so surprised when they saw it. They were fixated on sparks and lava flowing down Orion's right arm.


“She went!?”


Orion walked to the right side, leaving behind the robe. Then it turned towards the two of them.


They reacted too late to Orion's speed of motion. They could only avoid the daggers that kept on pointing at the two of them.


Crick!


One of those with a flat face crossed both arms to the front of the chest. Unlock all his fingers with some threads that appear.


“What is it?”


Surprised, Orion's reflexes stepped back to back. Watch for an attack coming.


“Don't be too surprised. It's not deadly for us.”


Auraaaakkk!!!


A collection of threads extending from all sides are attached to each corner of this place. It looks a luminous color purplish sparkling, and there is something sticky liquid on the threads.


“Don't say poison?” he thought as he pointed the dagger at the thread.


“Do not touch, Orion!” Suddenly Karura's voice roared in his head. Orion stopped his movements in surprise.


“That's the same liquid. Even if you touch it with a weapon, the liquid will still enter your body again.”


“But the poison effect is very slow,” muttered Orion as he waved his hand before his eyes. Making sure he can still see the rest of the movement even though it is blurry.


“Wah, he's still good despite your poison. It's worth it he's hard to catch.”


The double!


The man in the battle violently stomped one leg. And made this place shake strongly once again. A very strong vibration was felt by all of them.


“What is this?”


“Collect of criminals? Robber?”


“Composed!”


“Forge?”


All the customers fell off their benches. Sitting curled up while holding his head with increasing fear.


“I'll be your eyes, Orion. Now, attack them from a straight direction. Remember, just use the tip of your weapon!” Karura gave Orion instructions directly.


Orion moved both legs. It sped straight quickly as it cut all the obstructing threads with the tip of the fire-burning dagger.


“Truly hard to fight!” screech while shaking this place again. This time stronger than before.


Orion was unafraid of them. That can't even be compared to a peer or Chameleon himself.


A slash!


One incision long enough from the floor to touch the ceiling. His red sword was smoldering with red flames with a hint of the power of the Eternal Flame.


Slashing the bodies of the two men who can not wart. Orion's sword incision scorched a bit of their outer skin.


“Argh! Very hot!”


Both of them continued to groan in pain but they continued to issue attacks and even dodged from Orion.
