I Can Copy Curses

Chapter 146: 146. Attack of the Demon Race - 3

The moment the demons came running towards them, Orion turned to look at every human who was prepared to fight the demons.

"Stepped back for a moment!"

He shouted at them and used the curse of Velocity Burst in Curse Transformation mode. It caused his right arm to completely turn lava red as flames danced along it.

Everyone instinctively retreated upon hearing Orion's shout. It was a reflexive reaction to the authoritative command of someone clearly stronger than them.

Only Fixen and Loren were the only ones fighting against the silver-rank demons that came first towards them. The five golden ranks demons were just behind them but they seemed to take their time coming, enjoying the look on the humans's fearful faces.

Seeing that almost everyone had backed down, Orion conjured a spherical ball the size of him, causing almost the whole disc to get illuminated by the brilliance of his miniature sun.

Looking at the silver-rank demons, Orion smiled and sneered at them.

"Ten Thousand Burning Swords."

The miniature sun atop his hand suddenly began to release hundreds of flaming swords towards the silver-rank demons.

These demons saw the swords coming towards them and moved left and right to dodge them and they did successfully dodge them; however, the number of burning swords were too much. They were unexpectedly outnumbered by the burning swords raining down upon them.

As a result, the burning swords rained down on them and they died tragically. Even those lucky ones who managed to survive by sheer luck met their end with the continuous barrage of burning swords falling upon them.

A moment passed, and his miniature sun died down but so did the silver rank and iron rank demons. Only the gold-rank demons were left, their faces aghast with shock.

Not only them, but all the humans were also shocked by the masked kid's strength. Their mouths hanged down by what they witnessed. It was a one-sided massacre.

To be able to annihilate so many silver rank and iron rank demons so effortlessly wasn't everyone's cup of tea.

Moreover, what shocked them most was the rank of the masked kid. Earlier, when he killed the iron rank demons, they couldn't see through his strength because he didn't use much strength at that time but now that he released that attack, they could finally see that his strength was only at the iron rank and even that was only at the early stage.

On the other side, Fixen and Loren sighed in relief that they swiftly retreated when Orion's attack came; otherwise, they could imagine their fate looking at the burning corpses of demons spread across the disc.

Their charred corpses, releasing the smell of burning meat, reminded them that they were just a hair away from getting injured.

As for their shock, it was even greater than that of the other humans. They understood that jumping ranks to fight demons wasn't everyone's thing and only a rare few could ever accomplish that feat but what Orion did was unthinkable.

He, who had just arrived at the iron rank, killed almost thirty, if not more, peak silver rank demons as if killing ants.

That was the realm of strength they wanted to achieve in their dreams, but they always fell short, no matter how much they practiced with their skills. It was as though that realm of strength was just an illusory, unattainable goal. They could see it in their minds's eye, but grasping it felt impossible.

But seeing Orion's strength with their own eyes made them believe that such strength was indeed possible; they just hadn't reached that level of strength yet.

As for the five gold-rank demons, they were flabbergasted. One moment, they were smiling at the fearful faces of the humans, taking pleasure in watching the humans suffer. But in the next moment, everything turned upside down for them.

Their faces became black and the silver-rank demons they were so proud of turned into nothing but piles of ashes.

The sudden turn of events made them angrier and somewhat afraid of that human but realising that the masked human was only at the iron rank made them sighed in relief.

"Attack and kill them all. Especially that kid."

One of the gold-rank demons commanded the other four and they nodded in unison to him.

Seeing the gold rank demons were ready to attack, Orion frowned. He felt that things would definitely get harder at this rate and knowing his luck, it could get even worse.

Thinking of a plan, he quickly turned his attention to the duo of Magi kids here, who were also looking at him.

"Can you two handle a gold-rank demon each?" He asked.

They looked at each other and nodded. Even though it would be hard for them to kill the gold-rank demons, they could still fight against them.

"Okay, you two handle two of the demons," Orion said, then turned his attention to the group of humans who retreated fat because of his warning earlier. "Can you all handle one?"

The group of humans looked at each other and silently nodded.

"Alright, try to hold them as long as you can," Orion said, seeing them nod. He then looked at Fixen and Loren. "I will hold the last two off and wait for the reinforcements."

They nodded and prepared to attack.

"Alright, let's attack them."

Orion shouted and moved towards two of the gold-rank demons.

On his way, he activated the curse of Frozen Torment in the Curse Transformation mode, causing his entire left arm to turn into a frozen arm and white mists to release from that arm when the transformation was completed.

At the same time, he felt a wave of negative emotions hit him in the head, causing him to doubt their chances of survival against the gold-rank demons but he gritted his teeth and bit his lips, causing blood to trickle down his lips. However, that sense of pain also gave Orion some relief from those negative emotions.

'Get a hold on Orion!'

He shouted to himself, trying to control his emotions and fend off the negative influences, but it wasn't enough. The pain from biting his lips didn't help much either.

So, he decided to fight, hoping the distraction of battle would help him cope with the discomfort caused by the negative emotions.

Turning his head ahead, he saw that the two demons were ready to attack him.

'It's all because of them.'

He thought as he conjured five big ice spears double the size of him and threw them towards the one coming from his left side.

Meanwhile, he waved his burning hand towards the one coming from his right side. It caused a wall of flames to form between them.

Using that opportunity, Orion turned his head towards the demon coming from his left side and disappeared from his location using the curse of Fractured Reality.

Almost instantly, the five ice spears he threw earlier arrived at the left demon, who only swung his big sword to destroy them all into ice crystals.

However, at that moment, Orion, who had vanished earlier, reappeared behind the left demon that had just destroyed his ice spears. In his hand, he held a miniature sun the size of a football and thrust it towards the demon, who suddenly felt an intense heat behind him.
