I Can Copy Curses

72  72. The Final Battle - 2

Orion immediately lowered his weight and appeared in front of the Quent once again with his sword engulfed in flames, striking straight at his heart.

This time, he used the full strength of Unbridled Fury and Shattered Precision. Also combined with his increased weight with the help of Burdened Gravity, this attack on paper was one of his strongest attacks.

Quent also sensed the strength of the attack as he once again transformed his hand into a claw-like structure with the help of his black flames. But this time transformation happened at both of his hands.

As the transformation was complete, he reached out to catch Orion's sword once again.

"Boom!" n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

But this time, the result didn't go in his favor, as they both retreated back the moment they collided.

Almost instantly, Orion used his flying swords and let them attack Quent the moment he retreated back.

That meant Quent hadn't had enough time to dodge Orion's three flying swords, as he still hadn't stabilized himself from the retreat. Therefore, he could only place his claw-like hands in a cross position to block the attack.

"Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!"

The collision of Quent's claws and the swords produced a loud noise of metal hitting metal, along with bursts of sparks that lit up the disorder on the battlefield.

But the three swords didn't do much damage to Quent, as his claw-like hands absorbed most of the strength behind the three swords and deflected the swords not long after.

"You are good." Quent commented on Orion's battle instinct, looking at him.

"Don't be happy too early," Orion sneered at him.

Quent didn't understand what Orion seemed to be referring to. However, at that moment, he sensed that the temperature behind him seemed to be increasing at a rapid pace, causing him to quickly turn around when he saw a flaming red spherical ball the size of his head hurtling its way towards him.

It was too fast and was almost at him, so he couldn't react at all and could only watch as the spherical ball of flame touched him.

"BOOM!"

A mushroom cloud of red flames erupted, causing an intense explosion when the flaming spherical ball came into contact with Quent.

The ground around Quent became charred in black, and trees in the distance caught fire as a result of the explosion.

As for Quent, his body got blasted back like a broken kite, crashing against trees upon trees before he gradually came to a halt.

He got up from the debris of dust and broken trees while patting his clothes to remove the dust. He appeared to not have any injuries or burn marks on him at all. It was as if Orion's attack did nothing to him.

Orion, who was looking at Quent, felt shocked that he didn't suffer any injuries. It was a well-planned attack from his end, and it yielded nothing.

"Damn it."

He felt frustrated as a result of it.

"It's time to end the battle," Quent said, looking at Orion. "Your attacks are simply too weak to have any effect on me. I might as well kill you and done with this."

He said this as his body began to release black flames all around him. A moment later, these flames started to gather around him in a spherical shape until all the flames surrounded and enveloped him in a cocoon, burning with black flames.

At that moment, three flying swords burning in flames flew towards the cocoon and attacked it.

"Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!"

But all three swords got deflected as they came in contact with the cocoon.

'It seems I can't break it.'

Orion, who witnessed all of that, understood that Quent would use his full strength next time; otherwise, he wouldn't be exposing himself like that.

'It's time to test those new curses.'

So he also activated his curse of Equilibrium and Energy Overload.

On the surface, it didn't have any effect, but Orion speculated that these two curses were best suited for each other.

Energy Overload itself didn't have any uses if he couldn't store energy inside him to release it. There came the curse of Equilibrium. This curse worked in such a way that every time he attacked his opponent, an equal and opposite force of energy would wreck chaos inside him.

This energy wouldn't harm him because of his original curse—Null Body but if this energy wasn't used wisely, then it would be a waste to have this curse on him. This way, the curse of Energy Overload came in. With the use of this curse, he could effectively use that extra energy he would be getting from Equilibrium in the battle.

As for the curse of Unyielding Encasement, he had some ideas on how to use it, and he felt that it could become his strongest trump card if it worked as he thought it would.

At that moment, Orion heard some cracking sounds, like eggs breaking, coming from Quent's cocoon.

'He is about to come out.'

He thought as he looked at the cocoon intently, ready to attack.

At that moment, the cocoon burst into pieces, and a figure came out of it.

Orion already knew that the figure belonged to Quent, but seeing that figure come out of the cocoon, he was a little shocked.

As for the reason for his shock, it was the transformation that Quent went through inside the cocoon.

Quent didn't look like how he previously looked. His two horns that were on his head previously became long and curved down to the back of his head. His face only had white flames burning and nothing else.

Meanwhile, his hands became claws, but it was different from before. This time his hands stooped as low as his legs and looked quite eerie to Orion. The same thing happened to his legs, which, to Orion, resembled those of a goat. Last but not least, there appeared to be two black flaming wings behind his back, which were previously missing from his body. The most striking thing about Quent was that all of his body burned in black flames—all but his claws, legs, and horns. They were a deep red color.

Looking at that figure in front of him, Orion wondered if that figure belonged to a devil, because to him, this new transformation of Quent appeared more devillike than godlike.

At that moment, Quent, with his devil-like figure, turned to look at Orion.

"You know what? I am going to enjoy my time killing you," he said, voices coming out of his face burning with white flames. "After that, I will use my godly powers to trap all of your souls here for eternity so that I won't be spending my time alone in this place."

Orion laughed inwardly as he heard that. Although he felt that the new transformation of Quent was quite striking to the eye, that didn't mean Quent would be able to kill him in one move. Also, he could sense that the strength of Quent had increased quite a bit after the transformation, but he believed he would still win.

Most importantly, he still hadn't used many of his curses that could catch Quent off-guard. He didn't get a chance to use them. He understood that some curses could only be used effectively if the opponent had no idea about them; otherwise, he believed the surprise factor of those curses would be gone and his opponent could react to them accordingly if they knew what would happen.

Therefore, he had been waiting for the right opportunities to use those curses, and it appeared the time had come.
