I Can Copy Curses

But if the demon thought that he could stop his attack just by doing that, then either he was a little too naive or he underestimated Orion's attack too much.

'Nuclear Sun.'

Orion let the sun in his hand explode with a blinding burst of light and energy, momentarily stunning the demons around him. Taking advantage of the chaos, he vanished from their midst, shifting seamlessly into his dimensional realm.

His attack drew everyone's attention but since they were fighting themselves, they hadn't had time to watch his fight.

But the demons felt anger that one of them was caught in such a devastating attack.

The area where his sun exploded turned into nothing but flaming clouds, engulfing the demon Orion, who attacked with his sun within it.

A moment later, the explosion died down, leaving only swirling dust and smoke to fill the immediate area.

"Aggghhh! I am going to kill you!"

But at that moment, a very piercing scream emanated from within the swirling dust.

Orion, hearing the voice of the demon, had already expected that the demon wouldn't die from his attack when he attacked him earlier. So, he wasn't surprised that he survived.

Soon, the dust was blown away by something, revealing the demon within it.

He appeared even more terrifying than he had previously. His back was fully burned and smoke was released from there. Meanwhile, his front side also got slightly burned. His right side of the face was fully burned to the point that his right eye was gone.

His body also had some other burning marks but the damage dealt to those parts wasn't significant.

Seeing the damage done to the demon, Orion was surprised and felt that he had underestimated his own strength too much.

In that attack earlier, he didn't even use his full strength but the demon almost died from his attack. This led him to believe that he might have underestimated his strength or overestimated the strength of these gold-rank demons.

'Maybe I can also kill him.'

A plan began to form in his mind as he thought that his strength was enough to kill these gold-rank demons.

'Let's do that.'

He quickly switched the curse of Velocity Burst with Berserk Body in the Curse Transformation mode and the moment he did that, Orion felt unimaginable strength coursing through his body. He felt like he could kill the demon in front of him with just a mere fist.

Almost instantly, his frame became a little robust and nerves pulsated with his every breath.

'If I use my infinite energy well, then I can really kill the demon.'

He thought carefully about it. Last time he used his infinite energy, he suffered a backlash because he used too much energy beyond the limit of his body, causing his body to have some internal damage. But now he thought that since he knew the limit of his body, he would just use the amount of energy below his limit.

'Let's try that.'

Orion thought and revealed himself to the berserk demon, who was searching for him like a hungry wolf. Meanwhile, he also activated the curse of Malevolent Gaze.

"I will kill you."

He swiftly arrived in front of Orion and hacked his huge sword at him.

Orion remained, stood on his spot and caught the sword with his left hand. But as he did so, the ground below him was completely destroyed.

Even he himself felt that it was too much for the current him to catch the attack of someone from the gold rank but he knew that for his plan to work, he would need to make the demon lose his weapon.

Seeing that it was becoming increasingly difficult for him to hold the sword, he quickly used the frozen torment to cover the whole sword in frost and because of that, the demon quickly let go of the sword, fearing the frost would cover his hand too.

Orion smiled as he saw that and used the curse of Fractured Reality to disappear from the demon's vision. He soon appeared in front of him, his right hand clenched into a fist, and met the stomach of the demon who was caught off-guard.

He had used his infinite energy on that fist, just below his body's limit. He was gathering the energy on that fist since he revealed himself to the demon; that's why he was having a hard time holding the sword of the demon with his left hand since he only used about ten percent of energy to catch that sword.

If he had gathered the infinite energy on his whole body, he wouldn't be able to gauge if the energy he was gathering had reached the limits of his body or not, but if he were to concentrate that amount of energy solely on one part, then it would be feasible for him to sense that.

Almost instantly, Orion's fist was making contact with the stomach of the demon, and he felt a chilling sensation all over his body. The demon felt the looming of death wash over him as he realised that he would die in the next second.

'I shouldn't have decided to come here.'

That was his last thought before his body exploded into pieces.

Blood and body parts of the demon rained down on Orion but he appeared too calm for all of that.

On the other hand, all the people who were fighting, be they humans or demons, suddenly stopped. They were shocked. They couldn't comprehend how someone at the iron rank could kill a gold rank demon in one move. It sounded too bizarre to be true but they had seen that happen with their own eyes.

Although they were busy with their own fights, Orion's fight with the demon was too eye-catching. That was why, whether it was the humans or the demons, both of them were secretly observing the fight, knowing that the outcome of the battle between them may influence the result of the whole demon attack.

But they hadn't expected that the battle would be too one-sided.

Meanwhile, as they looked at the masked kid whose body was filled with black blood and body parts of the demon, for some reason they felt a chill run down their spine.

That cold look and that emotionless face made them feel a fear that was buried deep within their hearts—a fear they hadn't known existed in them.

Fixen and Loren trembled when they saw that. They felt that they were at the bottom of the well all this time to not have seen someone so strong in their generation.

But for some reason, they felt a sense of dread looking at the masked kid.

It wasn't just them; everyone else felt the same.

At that moment, Orion turned his attention to the other demons, which caused the demons to involuntarily take a step back. They felt fear—fear of facing someone who could kill them with just a single move—fear of losing their lives here.

'Time to finish this.'

Orion thought and teleported in front of one of the remaining four demons.
