I Can Copy Curses

75  75. The Final Battle - 5

The transformation, unlike last time, didn't take much longer and was completed only a moment later.

Orion witnessed the whole thing and saw that, after the transformation, Quent became muscular and a little taller than last time. Besides that, he couldn't tell much difference.

As Orion watched Quent, he also prepared himself for the final confrontation, but at that moment, something tugged at his legs and held on to them.

Looking down, he saw vines coiled around his legs, but unlike the ones he had seen on the pond, this one appeared to be shining in white light.

Just as Orion was about to free his legs, he sensed more white vines approaching him.

Using his flying swords, he intercepted them and cut them all. But at that moment, he saw the whole white dome releasing white vines towards him, intending to capture him.

"Damn!"

He used his flying swords to cut down those vines that were coming towards him, while he used his heavy sword to cut down the ones that bound his legs.

However, he saw that no matter how many he cut down, the number of vines continued to increase.

"Die!"

Suddenly, Orion heard a voice in front of him and was shocked to see Quent appear in front of him, his scythe coming straight for his waist, intending to rip him in two.

Despite being preoccupied with the vines, he had maintained his focus on Quent the entire time. Thus, he found it perplexing how Quent suddenly appeared in front of him. It seemed as though Quent had teleported himself, recognizing that his attention was solely on him. There appeared to be no other plausible explanation for Quent's sudden appearance without him even noticing his movement.

Therefore, because of the unexpected arrival of Quent, Orion wasn't prepared at all. In the end, he could only bring his sword in front of him and hoped that his sword would be able to take the attack head-on.

"BOOM!"

Quent's scythe clashed with Orion's sword, and in the ensuing collision, Orion's grip on the sword loosened, causing blood to gush suddenly from both his wrists. The excruciating pain shot through his body, leaving him momentarily stunned.

He swiftly activated the Curse of Sacrificial Renewal, finding relief from the pain coursing through his body. However, in that moment, he felt a rush of wind against his back, and before he could react, his body was hurtling uncontrollably towards the ground. Each impact with the ground caused destruction, leaving him unable to regain control.

Orion snapped back to his senses and acted swiftly. He plunged his heavy sword into the ground, using it as an anchor to slow himself down. As his body dragged along, the sword severed the ground wherever it went, gradually bringing him to a stop.

After he stabilized himself, he quickly activated the curse of Energy Overload and became prepared to release all that energy he had stored within himself all this time.

A while ago, he activated the curse of Equilibrium which had been storing the energy all this time inside his body, ready to be released at any moment.

At that moment, Quent once again teleported himself in front of him, and seeing him appear this time, Orion was sure that he could teleport anywhere in his domain.

But this time, as Quent appeared, he was also prepared and swung his sword straight at him.

However, as Quent's scythe and Orion's sword were about to make contact with each other's bodies, Orion's sword suddenly disappeared, and the scythe that was about to hit his body passed right through his body.

In that split second, Quent's eyes became wide and round as a ball. He couldn't believe how his scythe passed right through Orion.

Meanwhile, Orion quickly used this opportunity to move, passing right through the body of Quent and appearing behind him.

At that moment, he also summoned his sword from the pocket dimension and swung at the back of Quent, who was shocked to see Orion pass right through his body.

"Release."

He also released the stored energy inside his body with the help of Energy Overload. This made his sword strike, which was already powerful with all the buffs he got from his other curses, super powerful.

The strike became so strong that the sword Orion was swinging started to tremble all of a sudden and became uncontrollable for a moment.

But he didn't let the sword have its way and held the sword tightly as he completed his swing.

"Splash!"

A sound similar to vegetables being cut sounded before Orion's body got showered with blood and his sword, which he had been controlling with all his might, finally left his grip and flew away.

"Is it over?"

Orion murmured to himself as he wiped the blood off his face. He felt a little odd because of the blood splashing on him, but he had also become somewhat oblivious to it. With all that he had been through since he transmigrated, this was the least that gave him any problems.

Looking around, he found the two parts of Quent's body scattered a little far from him.

He moved towards the one with the head part—the upper torso—while he summoned his heavy sword back to him.

A moment later, he arrived in front of Quent, who looked to be looking at the sky. The domain he had formed was destroyed the moment his body got split in two.

Noticing Orion coming his way, instead of cowering in fear of death, he started laughing like a madman.

"Hahahahaha, I have never thought that I would be this vulnerable in front of a mortal," he laughed at himself as he looked at Orion. "Your name, Orion, was it? You have indeed won against me, but I never thought of leaving this dungeon ever because the exit portal is linked to my death, and I will not die here."

Orion frowned upon hearing Quent. He was already in this state, and it would only take a strike to finish him off once and for all, so he wondered what he meant when he said he wouldn't die.

"You are already dying, and it will take me one move to finish you off," he sneered at him.

"Try as you might," Quent laughed. "But be prepared to face disappointment."

Hearing him, Orion didn't hesitate and swung his sword, severing the head of Quent from his body.

A moment later, his body and his head started to glow a red color.

"No, no, no..." Quent became flustered seeing that. "I can't die. I shouldn't die. How is this possible? This is against the law. A mortal can't kill a god. This is a fact—a law. Then why am I dying? Wh—"

As he said his last words, his body disintegrated into red particles before disappearing into thin air.

Orion slumped into the ground, seeing that it was finally over, as a feeling of relaxation washed over him.

Since the time he transmigrated here, there had never been a moment when he felt so relieved. All the time, he had been fighting, training, and trying hard to survive, which took its toll, leaving him mentally drained and exhausted.

Now that it was all over and they could finally leave this dungeon, Orion felt relaxed and excited at the same time. He was excited to finally see the new world with his own eyes. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
