I Can Copy Curses

Chapter  61. Escape - 1

Orion arrived in front of them and cut the vines holding them. However, unlike Miira, they didn't open their eyes.

He frowned seeing that.

'This will be difficult.'

If they wanted to escape this place, then these three would have to be conscious; otherwise, he couldn't just carry three of them.

At that moment, seeing Orion's troubled expression, Miira offered her help to him.

"I can forcefully wake them," she whispered. "But they will have to rest for a long period of time, like a day or two, if I do that, because it doesn't look like they are in good condition."

Orion pondered her words and thought that escaping this place was most important for them. As for these three, they could rest outside if they wanted to when they escaped successfully, but not in this place.

"Alright," he said to her. "Do it."

Miira nodded and moved closer to Famir. After that, she touched him in the head, and a moment later, Famir suddenly sat up.

Orion had his index finger on his own lip as he looked at Famir, who had just woken up.

Seeing Orion, Famir felt a little confused for a moment because he couldn't recall how he got here.

Most importantly, he remembered that they and Orion had separated from each other so how did Orion come here?

At that moment, he heard Orion whisper to him.

"I will explain outside," Orion said. "Just stay silent and don't talk."

This time Orion came out of the other dimension because he didn't want to take risks scaring any of the three; otherwise, if they were to scream, then they should forget about leaving this place.

After Famir calmed down, Orion and Miira did the same to the other two.

A while later, the other two also woke up, and Orion briefly explained to them their situation.

After hearing Orion, they finally remembered what had happened that led them to this place.

"Alright," Famir said after he contemplated the situation. "Now how do we leave this place? These vines are too fast for us to react, so we should forget about running."

Orion smiled as he heard him. He already had a plan for escaping this place; that's why he wanted them to stay conscious earlier.

"With these," he said as he took out his three flying swords. "Miira, you take a hold of one of the swords and remember to grip it tightly as if your very life depended on it."

He gave Miira one of his swords and turned to the other three.

"I only have two swords left," he said while looking at them. "So, two of you three have to share one."

"But remember to grip it very tightly," he once again warned them.

"You aren't going to..." Famir said as he understood something.

But before he could complete his sentence, Orion interrupted him.

"You are right," Orion smiled at them. "I will control the swords to fly at very high speed, so holding them tightly will do you guys good."

"What about you?" Asked Ryfin.

"Me?" Orion smiled like a kid. "I have this."

He took out the new sword he got from killing the third guardian.

Looking at the heavy sword in Orion's hand, Ryfin's eyes twinkle with stars and, at the same time, burn with jealousy. He felt that Orion's sword was way cooler than anything he had ever seen.

"Where did you get this sword?" Ryfin asked as he moved closer to Orion to touch his sword.

"I will tell you later," Orion said as he put the sword away from him.

After that, he focused his attention on the goddess trapped in the trunk of the tree.

As Orion looked there, everyone also turned their heads upward in that direction and saw a lady with white hair who was also trapped like them on the trunk of the tree. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Who is that? She looks so beautiful!" Ryfin exclaimed upon seeing her.

Orion ignored Ryfin and moved one of his flying swords towards the vines coiling around her, but as soon as his sword came near the area where Isis was trapped, a large number of vines suddenly attacked his sword.

He controlled his sword to cut down those vines as quickly as possible, but the number of vines continued to increase.

"You can't save me. Just run away from this tree."

However, he heard a voice in his head at that moment, and hearing it, he was pretty sure that it belonged to Isis.

But for some reason, her voice sounded anxious. Just as he thought about it, his eyes caught sight of something moving towards them from behind the sides of the tree.

"Damn, we need to escape now."

It was at that moment that he finally knew the reason behind the anxiousness in Isis's voice.

He saw that a large number of trees full of vines, exactly like the one beside them, came running towards them. These trees used their roots as their legs and moved forward, but it was their speed that caused Orion to curse.

They were moving so fast that dust seemed to gather around them, masking their presence.

Turning to the four of them, he quickly gave his flying swords to them.

"Hold it tightly," he said in an urgent manner.

They nodded as Ryfin and Famir held one sword tightly while the other two were held by the unknown person and Miira.

Seeing that they were, Orion let his swords fly into the air, carrying them with it.

Meanwhile, he himself jumped on his heavy sword and fly away from the tree.

However, just as they appeared in the vision of these vines, and the trees behind them, they sent a number of vines flying towards them.

And a moment later, these vines were just behind them.

Seeing that, Orion quickly controlled his sword and the others flying in it in such a way that all of their swords moved in different directions but towards the same location—the pond.

But the vines moved too fast, and they once again appeared behind them.

"Damn!"

He increased their speed even more, and a moment later, they appeared near the pond.

Seeing the pond so close and the vines just behind them, Orion controlled the swords to move around in a small arc in the air as they moved towards the pond.

This caused a small distance to be created between them, as the vines could only move straight and couldn't move around in an arc like those swords in the air.

Taking this opportunity, Orion conjured a flaming sphere in his hand and threw it down towards the pond instead of throwing it towards the vines.

"Boom!"

The flaming sphere exploded upon coming into contact with the surface, causing an explosion that, as a result, caused dust to gather all around the pond.

Seeing that, he quickly controlled the swords and went into the cloud of dust.

As they flew into an area full of dust, the vines lost sight of them temporarily, and Orion used that opportunity to quickly dive into the pond.

At that moment, one of the thick vines moved itself like a whip in the air around the dust, causing all the dust to fly away.

But seeing their target was nowhere around the area, the vines quickly dived into the pond.
