I Can Copy Curses

Just as Orion passed through the barrier, he saw that everyone had taken their positions around the golden wolf, preparing to attack.

The platinum rank experts led the formation, followed by peak gold rank experts and other gold rank experts. Behind them were individuals with shields and energy barriers, ready to use their talents for defense. At the rear were healers and those like Orion, whose strength lay in the iron rank, seemingly useless in this scenario.

He also saw Alice, mingling with the group of low gold rank experts and preparing to fight. Before coming to the dungeon, he had asked her not to do anything that would draw attention from Carl's group. It seemed she was good at concealing herself among others. There were many brave iron rank experts among the low gold rank experts, so her presence didn't draw any attention.

Seeing the golden wolf cautiously staring at them, Orion also prepared himself. He activated the curses of Berserk Body, Velocity Burst, and Detonating Flesh in Curse Transformation Mode. Instantly, his right hand caught fire and turned into a flaming hand while a touch of purple appeared around his stomach.

'I hope they do their work fine,' he thought, waiting at the side for the battle to start.

At that moment, Carl's group also entered the boss arena.

Orion didn't say anything to them upon their arrival, focusing his attention on the golden wolf.

He overheard their conversation as they approached the front of the golden wolf.

"I will attack from the middle while Damian and Ogos will coordinate with others to attack from the sides," Ethan explained.

"What about me?" Carl asked.

"You will handle the back end. The wolves in this dungeon are fast, so the golden wolf in front of us may be as fast as the others. If it bypasses us and appears at the edge of the arena, it will be your responsibility to handle it, understand?" Ethan said to Carl.

Carl nodded, catching Ethan's meaningful glance. "Leave the back to me," he said with a smile.

As they passed by Orion, Carl muttered, "Hehe, prepare to die."

Orion heard the low words but only sneered back at him.

"WOOO!"

Suddenly, the roar of the golden wolf echoed, and Orion saw it start attacking them after cautiously moving around for a while.

"Let's go," Ethan, Damian, and Ogos picked up their pace and soon arrived at their positions in the front.

Orion watched the battle from a distance. He didn't want to take part in the battle and would have preferred to kill Carl's group instantly, but he understood that he had to let things unfold naturally. He couldn't force the situation if he wanted to leave no evidence behind.

Moreover, he had a plan in mind for accomplishing the difficult task of leaving the barrier region and the arrival of the Cursed Lord without causing suspicion of him being the Cursed Lord. There were many things he had to consider before taking each step, so he wouldn't rush.

"Wow!" Orion was surprised when he saw the golden wolf use lightning and fire attacks simultaneously.

'It can use more than one element?' He thought, focusing on the battle.

***

The golden wolf growled aggressively, its eyes shining with wild fierceness. With a powerful roar, it released a flaming fireball from its mouth, flying towards the assailants. The air crackled with warmth as the blazing orb zoomed towards the attackers.

A shimmering shield erupted in front of the defenders just in time to block the fireball from reaching its target. Individuals skilled in defense had created an impassable obstacle, causing the fireball to break into harmless sparks upon hitting it. As soon as the flames disappeared, a synchronized attack began.

Platinum rank experts moved rapidly with a sudden burst of speed. Swords sliced in accurate angles, creating sparks as they hit the wolf's dense fur. From afar, others shot energy bolts resembling enchanted bullets, with each strike targeting a vulnerable spot.

Ethan and Emily, along with the grey-haired man and the middle-aged man from earlier, were part of the attackers leading the charge, applying their combined strength on the golden beast.

However, the wolf's tough hide was able to endure their assaults, leading to just minor injuries. Even with the attack against it, the wolf fought back fiercely, showing no signs of being weakened by its wounds.

It changed its approach with a deep growl. Frost formed around its mouth as it released a cold breath of ice. The assailants hurried to adapt, skilled at deflecting bullets but finding it difficult to withstand the abrupt chill. Sounds of distress were everywhere as their defenses were covered in ice, causing some to stumble in the sudden attack.

Before they had a chance to come together again, the wolf's eyes lit up with electric power. Its fur lit up with lightning, as a thunderous bolt shot out, zigzagging in their direction. The collision of substances turned the battleground into a frenzied mix of flames, frost, and electricity.

The wolf continued to alternate between using ice, lightning, and wind blade attacks, making the battle complex and complicated. They had to block each type of elemental attack with corresponding talents.

As Orion watched, a frown appeared on his face. He noticed something strange.

'Why isn't big sis using her time-related talent?'

He couldn't understand why she would hide her talent. With it, the fight would be much easier. But he didn't complain. For his plan to work, the fight needed to be prolonged.

As for his sister not using her talent, he didn't think too much about it. If she decided not to use it, there must be a reason.

At that moment, Elyn's attack caught his attention. She was swiftly attacking in between the attacks of the platinum rank experts.

'She is strong, very strong,' Orion nodded. 'But she is also very strange. If only she were a nice girl.' He shook his head in pity, thinking her beauty was wasted on her terrible personality.

Sometime later, the battle neared its end. The wolf suffered too many injuries and was bleeding heavily. Even though most of the injuries were light, their sheer number made it difficult for it to stand properly.

Thinking of escaping from the blockade and finding relief, it dashed towards the edge of the arena, appearing before the iron rank experts.

"OOWOOO!!!"

'It's here,' Orion smiled as he saw the wolf manage to get past all the attackers. He turned to look at Carl, who was also in this area. Carl was responsible for handling the wolf if it attacked this region.

Carl smiled cruelly at Orion and moved to confront the wolf. Now that it was exhausted and nearing death, its strength had fallen from peak platinum rank to mid or low platinum rank. Handling the wolf should be easy for Carl if he didn't mess it up.

"Die!" Carl immediately attacked the wolf with his large transformed black flaming hands. At this moment, his hands were bigger than the ones he had used against Alice.

However, nobody noticed a syringe in those big black flaming hands that soon landed on the wolf.

BOOM!

The wolf was blown away by the attack, leaving trails of blood in the air and slamming onto the barrier of the boss arena.
