I Can Copy Curses

71  71. The Final Battle - 1

Orion then turned to face the boss monster, who had been patiently waiting for him.

"Alright, let's do this," he said, looking at the boss, his eyes burning with determination.

As he said, Orion jumped from the boat, used his sword to fly away, and landed at a distance from the boat.

He didn't want their battle to have any affect on the boat or the people in it. So, he opted for this approach and distanced himself from the boat.

A moment later, the boss monster also landed not far from him.

"Before we fight, let me introduce myself," the boss monster said. "I am Quent, a servant of the Elysian Council."

Orion didn't say anything and quietly activated all his curses. First, he used absolute defense, causing his body to glow with a red light. Next, he activated his buff curses, like—Unbridled Fury and Shattered Precision.

The formar caused his skin to glow in dark red shades as hues of red started to leak out from his body, while the latter was on standby for Orion to use it at any moment.

He then took out the heavy sword he got after defeating the third guardian and held it tightly with both his hands.

"You are quite strong for a bronze rank. I will give you that," Quent said as he looked at Orion with interest. "But you think that will be enough to defeat a god?"

As he finished his words, a black beam of light released from him, reaching the clouds high up in the sky, which almost caused the sky to turn dark all of a sudden.

The sun in the sky was still there, but it appeared dark because the black beam of light was releasing an intense black glow all around the area, causing the surroundings to turn dim.

Orion, who stood opposite Quent, looked all around and was shocked. He couldn't believe this was a bronze rank level power. He thought that his strength, which was buffed from all of his curses, stood at the pinnacle of the bronze rank and even exceeded it. However, witnessing the strength and power of the Quent, he laughed at his ignorance.

'It's good that I got myself a new set of strong curses.'

At this moment, he felt fortunate that he got his hands on those new curses; otherwise, he thought that this battle would have been insanely difficult for him.

"You see, that's called true power." Quent laughed wildly. "Even if I don't have the power of a god right now, it's enough to kill ants like you a thousand times."

"Now, come," he said, then beckoned Orion to start the battle.

Orion wasted no time, activating Burdened Gravity to reduce his weight, and swiftly arrived in front of Quent. With a deft motion, his heavy sword arced towards Quent's waist with deadly intent.

At that moment, Quent smiled slightly as his hands began to release black flames, and when Orion's sword arrived near his waist, he caught the sword with his right hand still releasing black flames.

Orion frowned. He felt that his sword was caught too easily. Although he didn't use his full strength in this strike, that didn't mean his attack could be caught so easily.

Usually, if someone were to catch his sword midway, there would be some resistance and the momentum of his attack would repel both of them. But this time he felt as if his attack met something soft when it came in contact with the flaming hand of Quent and didn't prove effective as it usually would.

He then quickly used Shattered Precision on his sword but the result didn't change as Quent still held his sword in one hand as he looked at him.

"Too weak."

Quent muttered. At that moment, he slashed with his left hand, but midway, it started to release black flames heavily and transformed into a big black claw made of black flames coming straight at Orion.

Noticing that, Orion released one of his swords from his dimensional space from his right side, and as soon as it came, it collided with the incoming black claw.

"Boom!"

Sparks released, and a low explosion sounded as his sword and claw collided.

Almost instantly, Orion used Velocity Burst to cover his own heavy sword in red flames, and as soon as his sword caught fire, an explosion happened at the hand of the Quent holding his sword, forcing him to release the sword.

After that, Orion quickly retreated and made some distance between them.

"You can also control flames," Quent said, appearing surprised as he looked at him. "Then this fight will be even more interesting."

As he finished his words, he flicked his claw-like hand that had been burning with black flames into the sky, causing flames in his hand to shoot at the sky like a black streak of lights.

By doing that, his hand returned to normal, while in the sky, those black streaks of lights came to a stop in the air, floating and starting a transformation among themselves.

Orion saw that those streaks of lights in the air suddenly started to convulse around and form various black flaming eagles flying above him. They were only the size of Orion's arm, but there were around twenty of them.

'Damn!'

He cursed seeing that, and a moment later, the thing that he feared came true.

These black eagles soon descended towards him at breakneck speed.

He didn't know if his absolute defense armor would be able to repel them or not. So, he quickly released his other two swords and engulfed all of his swords in red flames before directing them to engage these eagles in the air. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Damn!"

18:12

In the sky, several explosions happened as red and black hues surrounded the whole sky. His three swords moved in a zigzag pattern, and whenever they changed direction, it destroyed the black eagles in that direction.

However, there were still some eagles that dodged the three swords and came straight at him.

Orion saw that there were four of them coming towards him. He didn't care about these eagles and swung his heavy sword with both hands at the incoming eagles.

They didn't stand a chance and exploded after coming in contact with his sword.

After he destroyed every flaming eagle that approached him, smoke filled the area around him because of the explosion of these flaming eagles.

But the smoke didn't affect his vision too much, as he saw something in the distance that made him curse the shamelessness of the god in front of him.

He saw another flaming eagle making its way towards him, and this was not like others before; this was as big as Orion himself. It flapped its wings as it flew towards him.

"Damn!"

He quickly held his big sword tightly and threw it towards the incoming flaming eagle.

"BOOM!"

An explosion happened the moment his sword struck the flaming eagle, causing the area below the explosion to become scorched black.

Black residues of flames scattered around the area and black glowing particles fell from the air where the explosion happened.

As Orion observed this, he quickly summoned back his heavy sword, which flew back on his command, and thought something about the fight.

'From the fight just now, I can tell his flames have two properties. First, his flames can be as soft as possible and may be hard too and second, whatever projectiles he conjures with his flames explode as soon as it come in contact with anything.'

Although all this time it appeared he had been forced to retreat by Quent, he also observed many things and learned about him.

'It's time I take the initiative.'

He thought as he prepared himself to attack.
