I Can Copy Curses

"Before you do that, I will make sure your head rolls first."

Orion tightened the grip on his lightning sword, causing some burn marks to appear on her neck.

"You?! Let go of me."

Elyn screamed, feeling the pain in her neck.

"You should think before you open your damn mouth."

Orion eerily whispered into her ear.

"Orion, let go of her."

Erick and Princess Luma came running to Elyn's rescue.

Seeing them coming, he pushed her away by saying,

"Be mindful of your words in the future."

Princess Luma caught her and glared at him, while Erick sighed in relief. This was the only student of their big brother; if anything were to happen to her, he would surely turn the whole kingdom upside-down.

Orion didn't waste his time and turned his attention to the black sun that was coming their way.

'Damn, that's just too big.'

He only had a few moves he could use in this situation but he doubted they would solve their current predicament.

He needed something big and powerful to neutralise something like that or he would have to use some other ways to get out of the situation.

'Maybe I would have to use that.'

He switched the curses of Velocity Burst with Devouring Abyss and Frozen Torment with Energy Overload, respectively.

He then immediately used the curse of Devouring Abyss on the black sun that was coming their way, holding his hands high.

As he did that, little by little, the flames of the black sun began to drop towards Orion like clouds of water before being devoured inside him.

Seeing that he could really devour the flames, he immediately increased his devouring speed and the flames began to enter inside him fast.

Erick, Elyn, and the others were surprised to see that slowly by slowly, the size of the black sun began to decrease as clouds of flames released from it continued to enter Orion's body.

Orion continued to devour the flames of the black sun for quite some time until he noticed he couldn't devour anymore. His body had reached its limits; if he were to devour any more of those black flames, maybe he would explode with all that energy inside of him.

He immediately used the curse of energy overload, and all that energy quickly became tamed for his own use.

He didn't immediately use that energy and kept it inside of him. Turning his attention to the black sun, he could see that its size had shrunk and become much smaller compared to before.

'Two or three times and I can fully devour the whole sun.'

Orion thought and activated the Devouring Abyss once again. In the past, he had reached his limits when using this curse but because all those energies had become tamed, he could once again use it.

Soon, the flames of the black sun once again began to drop, being devoured by him and like that, he continued to devour the black sun for quite some time.

Grey Orion didn't say anything and watched quietly. His task was to exhaust Orion and this was the best method he could think of. He knew what curse Orion had and what he would do, so he came up with this method specifically.

He could immediately increase the falling speed of the sun but he didn't do so. If he were to do that, Orion would probably not care about others and would escape through teleportation, which he didn't want. Hence, he deliberately made the sun fall at a very slow pace. He wanted him to use his curses; he wanted him to work hard.

Soon, the black sun in the sky fully disappeared from everyone's view.

"He did it."

Erick and others exclaimed as they saw that the black sun was gone but they also saw that after Orion devoured the flames, he immediately sat down and took breaths.

'That was close.'

At the end, he was also close to reaching the limits of his body with the curse of energy overload, but he pulled it off. If he had reached his limits, then there would be some problems, but not serious enough that others couldn't handle them.

The sun had become very small in size in the end so others would definitely survive that compared to the one from before, which was the size of the whole island.

But he still had all those energies inside of him, waiting for him to use them.

Turning to look at his clone, he was watching him smile, which irked him a little.

"Why did you make the sun fall slowly, deliberately?"

Orion was sure that the falling speed of the sun was very slow and he believed that his clone would definitely increase that speed if he wanted but for reasons unknown, he didn't do so.

This made him feel very uneasy, not knowing what his clone had been planning.

Grey Orion shrugged at his question.

"Oh, you noticed that. As for the reason? I am just playing with you."

Orion frowned even more, feeling increasingly suspicious of his clone's behaviour.

Standing up, he said to him:

"You know what I am going to do now, right?"

Grey Orion laughed.

"Come on and show me how much power you have devoured."

Orion didn't waste any time and immediately teleported in front of him, his fist blasting towards him.

Grey Orion crazily laughed as he also blasted with his own fist.

As their fists were about to collide, Orion muttered to himself.

'Energy Overload: Release.'

But the impact between the two fists didn't happen; their fists remained just an inch apart. The reason was simple: whether it was Orion and his clone or everyone else in the grey lands, they had all stopped moving altogether.

It was also at that moment that the red door in the mountain range hung open, and a figure could be seen walking from inside the door.

The figure was walking very slowly, almost limping but it was steadily making its way towards the grey world.

As it came closer to the door, various chains could be seen binding it from all sides, shackling it in place. These chains were also restricting its movement.

Despite the chains, it continued to walk towards the door until it was just a step away from entering the grey world.

It was a man in ragged clothes—almost reassembling a begger—who came near the door.

Without any hesitation, he took one step out of the door and another just a moment later.

However, even though he was outside the door, he was still shackled by the chains coming from inside the doors.

It was then that he turned his attention to Orion and his clone, who were still frozen in time and seeing them, a very wide grin appeared on his face.

"They thought the Celestial God killed me and I thought that too until I found myself shackled in this place. But why did he not kill me when I almost destroyed the whole Montreux universe?"

The ragged-clothed man muttered to himself and walked towards Orion and his clone.

"Celestial God... Celestial God, what are you plotting this time?"

Looking at Orion and his clone, he continued:

"Are you worried about that? But that was just a myth and there wasn't even concrete evidence that it existed. However, I have to say you have planned very well by bringing this kid in here."
