Chapter 155: 155. Luke and Monty Darkwood
Orion unconsciously clenched his fists tightly upon seeing the two of them.
They were his nightmares before he left the family.
In the name of training, they had beaten and abused him and nobody in the family stopped them.
Even his father said something like, "This will make him break his limit and maybe he can awaken his talent."
Since the day his father said those words, these two had been constantly abusing him more and more—every day without a care in the world.
Their beating affected Orion so much that he used to have nightmares about them.
Just remembering all of them made him want to kill these two.
Yes, the resentment in his heart had accumulated so much over the years that it had turned into a killing intent now.
Also, now that he had the power to kill them, he entertained the idea of killing them and dumped their bodies somewhere.
'No, I can't do that. They're still my cousins.'
In the end, he controlled his emotions and let go of his clenched fists.
"Luke, Monty, I see you two haven't grown up at all."
Orion sneered at them. Although he couldn't kill them, he would humiliate them very badly. He just needed them to make the first move on him.
"Trash, how dare you talk to us like that?"
Luke shouted and was about to slap Orion but Ella stood in front of him.
"Brother Luke, what are you doing?"
Luke frowned at seeing Ella interfere. Although he could deal with Orion, he couldn't even touch Ella with bad intentions, considering she was the favourite child of the Magi King Barion.
"Orion, have you fallen so low that you now have to be protected by a kid?"
Monty sneered this time, seeing the situation with Ella.

Orion smiled and understood their intentions.
"What do you want?"
A smile appeared on Monty's face after seeing Orion take the bait.
"If you have the guts, then face us in the arena right now. Otherwise, continue to hide behind your little sister for the rest of your life."
He intentionally said those words to make Orion angry and looking at him trembling and clenching his fists, Monty felt that nothing had changed over the years. Orion was still like he was five-six years ago—easy to be controlled and bullied.
"I-I will do it. Let's go."
Orion said, his voice laced with hesitation.
"Big Brother, will you be alright?"
Ella asked worriedly.
Orion turned to her and winked her with his eye.
"Don't worry, Ella, it should be fine."
Ella understood the subtle message Orion wanted to convey and nodded to him.
"Alright, Big Brother, go teach them a lesson."
Seeing that even Ella agreed to their fight, Luke and Monty looked at each other and a fox smile appeared on their faces.
"Let's go to the arena then."
Luke immediately led them towards the arena, fearing Ella might change her decision soon.
Going through twists and turns in the streets of District 1, they finally appeared at a huge arena where two people could be seen fighting each other.
This arena was made for the people living here so that they could still train and have combat practice with each other.
Initially, the arena was created solely for training the younger generation of the army, but over time, it has come to serve various other purposes.
"Amy, go and inform the people here that princes will be fighting here now and also make them clear the arena."
Luke immediately called her servant Amy and gave her some orders.
Amy nodded and disappeared from there.
Like Mike, Amy was the servant responsible for Luke. She was also at the platinum rank, like him.
Soon, they appeared at the registration office responsible for the arena.
There, Amy was waiting for them and the old man responsible for the whole arena bowed to them seeing them coming here.
"Prince Luke, Prince Monty, and Prince Orion, please wait for about 10 minutes, and the arena will become empty for you three to use."
Monty nodded and turned his attention to Orion.
"Orion, you could wait for 5 minutes, right?"
Orion nodded to him.
"Just do it fast."
He added.
Soon, five minutes passed, and the old man looked at them.
"It's your turn, Princes but be careful not to hurt each other."
The old man advised them before he led them through a door where another door was waiting for them.
"The other side of the door was the fighting area."
He pointed at the door in front of them, which was inclined towards a staircase.
Luke nodded and turned to Orion.
"Orion, shall we?"
Orion nodded silently.
Seeing Orion agree to everything made them believe that he was as scared as a little cat and was listening to them so that they could go easy on him.
Soon, the three of them made their way towards the door, opened it, and appeared on the arena.
In the arena, Luke and Monty looked at each other.
"Brother Luke, you are stronger than me, so let me go first."
"As you wish, Brother Monty, but remember not to 'harm' him."
Monty nodded and looked at Orion, who for some reason, was smiling at them. This smile made Monty feel a little uneasy.
'A trash will always be trash.'
He thought and used his talent right away.
Above Orion, dust began swirling around him before it took the shape of a black cloud with lightning wriggling all around it.
Low sounds of thunder began to reverberate throughout the arena, causing the spectators who were watching the fight to shout in excitement.
"I have heard that the talent of Prince Monty is called Storm Summoner and he can summon storms, but looking at this, he seems to be going easy on Orion."
"I have heard that too. There is even a rumour that he could summon a tornado and flood too."
"I don't know about that but it appears Prince Orion is about to lose."
"Yeah, last time I heard, he didn't have any talent but somehow he was able to pass the test. Anyway, he won't last longer again, Prince Monty."
The people watching the fight began analysing the battle and thought Prince Monty would win this battle easily.
"Will Big Brother be alright?"
Ella looked worried as she looked at the black clouds full of lightning above Orion.
Ryfin laughed upon hearing Ella's words and consoled her.
"Don't worry. He will be fine; instead, we should be worried about the other two."
Amy turned to look at Ryfin when he said that. There was one other individual who also looked at Ryfin. He was the servant of Monty.
They thought that Ryfin said this as a sarcasm but looking at his serious face, it didn't look like that.
"Look, Big Brother also made his move."
Ella shouted.
Everyone saw that Orion's body began to glow brightly before a layer of red surrounded his whole body.
Orion could have ended the fight immediately if he wanted to, but he chose not to. He wanted them to experience true fear, to feel hopelessness, and to know despair.
He intended to torment them through this fight, ensuring they would remember not to go against him ever again.
