Instead, he fled in desperation, weaving through the beast tide in an attempt to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ridi constantly changed his path, using serpentine movements to evade most of the attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sizzle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thunderhawk's attacks, however, were precise and predictive. A bolt of lightning struck Ridi squarely, leaving him stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion's trident followed immediately, piercing through Ridi's chest and pinning him to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can't kill me! I'm Lord Gareth's trusted aide!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ridi, gravely injured and barely able to fight back, shouted in desperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the sky, Orion retrieved another trident, his expression cold and emotionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trident descended from above, piercing through Ridi's skull and killing him instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion, still mounted on the thunderhawk, didn't leave. Instead, he hovered in the air, waiting for something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, five breaths later, Ridi's body suddenly shot up into the air and began to transform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dragon's head, a serpent's body, dragon claws, and a pair of fleshy wings unfolded—this was Gareth's form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear that Ridi's body was now being controlled by Lord Gareth's will projection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gareth's will projection raised her head, her cold eyes locking onto Orion, filled with murderous intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without saying a word, Gareth's will projection spread her wings and charged directly at Orion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion didn't back down. He raised his trident, Flame of Will, and unleashed his skill: Eightfold Spear Barrage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, a formation of spears surrounded Gareth's will projection, trapping her within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! Boom! Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Energy clashed against energy, spears against dragon claws.

She's coming!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, the thunderhawk was terrified. While it had seen Orion fight will projections of Legendary-level beings before, facing one directly was a completely different experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't be afraid. I'll handle her!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion remained calm, his expression indifferent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Gareth's will projection had attacked without a word, clearly intent on killing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Gareth's will projection reached him, her dragon roar struck first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The roar froze both the thunderhawk and Orion in mid-air, rendering them unable to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The roar continued, its soundwaves relentless, as Gareth's will projection closed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her dragon claws extended, aiming directly for Orion's throat with no intention of holding back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment of crisis, Thunderhawk Rayden was paralyzed with fear, its pupils bloodshot as if it had already accepted its impending death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In contrast, Orion's eyes burned with a cold, murderous light, like a titan filled with rage and killing intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splat! Splat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Gareth's will projection froze mid-air, her movements coming to an abrupt halt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eerie dragon roar ceased, vanishing without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind Gareth's will projection, two figures identical to Orion appeared, each wielding a trident. One pierced her heart, while the other drove a trident through her skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion could almost see the shock in Gareth's expression, but he didn't stop his assault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew this was a rare opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, Orion raised his trident and drove it into Gareth's will projection's chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ridi's body ignited, and Gareth's will projection writhed in the flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roar!
