I Can Copy Curses

Chapter 144: 144. Attack of the Demon Race - 1

Orion stopped thinking about being a student of Sword Sage and looked around at the chaos that suddenly took place.

He saw people running here and there, panic evident in their faces as they tried to find safety amidst the chaos. The explosion had thrown the entire hall into disarray, with tables overturned, cards and chips scattered, and the once lively atmosphere now filled with fear and confusion.

BOOM!

Yet another explosion took place, and because of it, the ceiling of the hall began to crack and fall down. Large chunks of debris rained down, causing even more panic among the people scrambling to escape.

'What happened?'

Orion also started running through the hall like all the other people, intending to escape this place.

"Help me!"

At that moment, he suddenly heard a shout, prompting him to look towards its source. He noticed a man trapped under debris that had fallen from the broken ceiling.

The man's face contorted in pain as he struggled to free himself, his cries for help barely audible over the noise of the ongoing chaos.

'Damn.'

Orion quickly changed his direction and went towards him.

Upon arriving in front of him, he quickly lifted the chunk of debris that trapped the man, setting him free. Without a word or even a glance back, the man ran off, disappearing into the chaotic crowd.

Orion didn't mind that, as he too ran off and disappeared into the crowd.

***

After pushing through the crowds, Orion finally exited the tower and arrived at the half-disc-like structure.

However, what he saw outside shocked him to the core.

He saw a dragon—not just any dragon but a three-headed one. It was covered in dark purple and bluish scales all over its body. Its six eyes shone with deadly red light and its size was almost the size of him when he transformed into a colossal titan in Aethelgard City.

The three heads of the dragon released black flames continuously atop the tower.

"Demon race! They are from the demon race!"

At that moment, Orion suddenly heard a shout from behind and turned to see that it was Loren Grimwolf, followed by Fixen Silverflame.

'Demon race?'

He frowned, looking around, when his eyes caught sight of what was happening at the adjacent disc.

His frown turned into horror as he witnessed that.

He saw human-like creatures attacking humans and killing them and so were the humans. They also attacked and killed the demons without any mercy.

The average size of demons appeared to be around eight feet, and they had four arms, two on each side of their bodies. Likewise, they also had four eyes.

Their skins appeared a mix of dark blue and purple, and they had scales covering all over their bodies. Aside from that, they also had two horns atop their heads.

Orion was surprised to see how different they looked from humans.

"Let's go and kill them all."

Loren shouted and urged his wolf to go towards the other disc.

"Wait, I am coming too."

Fixen followed him from behind.

Orion thought for a moment and decided to help as well. Since he couldn't help with the three-headed dragon, he would go and slay those demon races first.

Thinking of that, he activated the curse of Electrostatic Disruption and flew towards the other disc.

Chaos was in full swing on the other side. Demon races were ruthlessly killing humans, and humans were fighting back with equal ferocity. Screams of terror and pain filled the air as both sides clashed violently, each trying to gain the upper hand.

Orion, Loren, and Fixen soon arrived at the scene.

"Let's see how many demons we can kill." Loren looked at Fixen with a playful smile. "Loser would have to listen to do one thing the winner wishes them to do."

Fixen smiled sarcastically. He felt that this guy always lost, and each time, he came back with harsher punishments for the loser, which he ended up administering himself every time. It was a predictable and exhausting cycle that Fixen had grown accustomed to, yet it never failed to irritate him.

"Hehe, I will accept your challenge," Fixen sneered at Loren. "But don't run like last time."

"We will see," Fixen said with a black face and he rode his wolf in the midst of the battle.

Fixen smiled and he too conjured a silver flame and threw it towards the group of demons.

Orion looked at the two of them and thought that these two were indeed competitive.

'Let's kill them all.'

He activated the curse of Burdened Gravity and Berserk Body, along with Unbridled Fury and Shattered Precision.

A gust of wind released from his body and shades of red appeared on his skin and hair due to Unbridled Fury.

Taking out his huge sword, he ran towards a demon and hacked his weapon at him.

SHAP!

The demon was cut into two, and only a moment later, its body turned into a pool of blood and fell to the manmade floor atop the disc.

After killing the first one, he went towards the second demon and swung his sword at him.

SHAP!

That demon, too, faced the same result as the last one.

'Most of them are at the iron rank, while some are at the silver rank.'

Orion thought as he swung his sword to clean off the dark blue blood staining its blade.

'Let's kill them fast.'

He swiftly moved towards another demon and killed him, then quickly advanced to the next one. His movements were fluid and precise; each strike was deadly and efficient. He continued this relentless assault, cutting down demons one after another, until everyone on the disc noticed him.

"Hey, look at that guy. He is killing the demons so easily."

"Yeah, I noticed him, and looking at his build, he appears quite young."

"Is he someone from the seven Magi families?"

"Maybe or maybe not. This kid is wearing a mask so I think he didn't want anyone to know about his identity."

"I know him! He is the one who wanted to try the Lottery of Fortune and Misfortunes. What did he say his name was? Curse Lord. Yeah, he said his name was Curse Lord."

"Curse Lord. Using an alias. This kid sure is not leaving any traces of his identity."

They were surprised by how easily he was killing them. It gave them a feeling as if Orion weren't cutting demons but vegetables.

Fixen and Loren, too, noticed him, and they looked at each other in surprise. They knew almost every young generation of kid who could have this level of strength but to their surprise, they didn't know him at all. It was as if he appeared out of nowhere.

"Fixen, do you know this guy?" Loren asked.

"No, I don't know him," Fixen said, shaking his head. "It's my first time seeing him."

Loren frowned. It was also his first time seeing him and as far as he could remember, there wasn't anyone in the elite ranks like him. If there was, he would have known about him.

"Let's kill the demons first," Fixen said seriously. "We will come to this Curse Lord, later."

Loren nodded and was about to continue killing the demons when a terrifying roar sounded.

"ROOOAAARR!"
