I Can Copy Curses

"It\'s started moving."

The masked girl looked at the giant monster, and her face became ugly. She thought that if what Orion said were true, then they would definitely die if it went to the humongous hole in Market Street.

On the other hand, Orion thought that last time it couldn\'t sense the anomaly but this time it unexpectedly detected whatever anomaly it was searching for.

\'What had changed from last time?\'

Thinking of that, he turned his attention to his friends. If anything had changed between the last time and the present time, then that would be the presence of his friends.

\'One of them is an anomaly? What is an anomaly?\'

He couldn\'t understand what the term \'Anomaly\' meant, but he figured it wouldn\'t be anything good if an Apocalypse-level monster wanted to kill them.

As for who the anomaly was, he had suspicions about one of them but he wasn\'t sure. He would have to wait and see.

"Initiating Extermination."

"Extermination failed due to restrictive movement."

"Initiating combat mode."

The monster uttered some robotic-like words once again but Orion and his friends could understand what it meant and because of it, their faces became ugly.

"Combat mode activated."

As if given some commands, the huge mammoth started trying to slowly turn its head towards Elder Torry.

Even though all its tentacles were being held tightly by the shackles, the monster could still turn its head with its sheer strength.

Elder Torry looked at the monster, trying to turn with a black face. He couldn\'t imagine that even one of the cosmic wonders couldn\'t hold the monster.

Moreover, he felt that whatever the anomaly was, it had somehow provoked the monster. He also couldn\'t understand why the monster talked like a system, but one thing he was sure of: if he let the monster go free right now, it would bring huge trouble for them.

With that in mind, he made a small cloud in front of him and took out all the mana crystals he had and placed them in the cloud while he absorbed them slowly, trying to refill his mana source that had been sucked dry earlier.

At the same time, he continued to supply a small amount of mana to the Space Tear so that it couldn\'t let the monster break the shackles easily.

Meanwhile, Orion and his friends looked at the monster. Well, they could only look at it at this point. They were too weak to participate in anything related to an apocalypse-level monster.

"Difficulty moving. Initiating berserk mode."

"Berserk mode activated."

As these robot-like words escape from the monster\'s mouth, its eyes, which had always been purple, turn red, and its tentacles, which had been restricted by the shackles, start to tremble in protest.

"I won\'t allow it."

Elder Torry shouted, seeing that, and used all of his mana into the Space Tear to make the binding even stronger.

"ROOOOAAAAR!"

Feeling the restraint becoming stronger, the monster screamed loudly, its roar echoing through the air like a thunderclap. The ground trembled under the force of its fury as it struggled against the bindings that held it captive.

"Not good!"

At that moment, Elder Torry suddenly felt that he was losing control over the restraint all of a sudden.

Almost instantly, the monster\'s immense power began to overpower the restraints. The dark chains binding its limbs started to crack and shudder, and the magic woven into them began to struggle against the creature\'s relentless might.

With each passing moment, the bindings weakened, fragments of the enchanted material breaking away and dissipating into the air.

Seeing that, Elder Torry\'s eyes turned red as he quickly supplied all the mana he had without a care in the world.

However, all his efforts turned futile.

"ROOOOAAAAR!"

With a final, deafening roar, the monster summoned every ounce of strength, and the shackles shattered in a burst of energy. The remnants of the binding spell disintegrated, leaving the monster standing tall and unbound.

Freed from its shackles, the monster\'s rage intensified. It turned its gaze towards the old man with a malevolent gleam in its eyes.

"Damn."

Elder Torry trembled a little as he saw its eyes.

However, before he could react, a tentacle whipped out with lightning speed and collided with him.

Poochh!—

However, the force of the impact was too devastating for his body to handle, causing it to burst into pieces of blood and flesh.

In the end, he turned into nothing but a pool of blood and meat paste, which slowly fell to the ground.

The horrific sight left Orion\'s group stunned. They couldn\'t believe the old man died so easily. It only took the monster one hit before he exploded into pieces.

The sheer strength of the monster left them trembling in fear, their minds struggling to comprehend the magnitude of the creature\'s power.

However, they had yet to see the worst.

After taking care of Elder Torry, the monster turned its head towards them.

"Anomaly detected. Initiating Extermination."

Almost instantly, Orion hastily turned to Ryfin and Ron.

"Ryfin, Ron, use teleportation and get away with others, quick."

However, he was too late. Two beams of light zoomed towards them and arrived before them at the exact moment he warned them.

"Sh*t!"

Seeing that, Orion cursed and quickly increased his weight as much as he could with the curse of Burdened Gravity and Constant Pull.

At the same time, he used the curse of Unyielding Encasement in the Curse Transformation mode, causing his body to crystallize into a small, hexagonal-like force field.

He then quickly used its defensive ability to transform his hand into a huge hexagonal red shield, protecting and covering his friends.

Boom!—

The two beams of light collided with the red hexagonal shield, causing cracks to instantly appear on them.

Meanwhile, the pressure on Orion was so great that his legs embedded themselves into the ground.

Gritting his teeth, he turned around.

"Quick, Go!"

A muffled voice escaped from his mouth but Ryfin and Ron heard him clearly.

Ryfin quickly came closer to Famir and Lisa and disappeared with them, while Ron disappeared with the masked girl.

Seeing them get away, Orion instantly activated the curse of Dimensional Dissonance and moved to his dimension, disappearing from the path of the two beams of light.

The two beams of light passed through the area, finding no obstacle before they suddenly changed direction.

Orion, who was in his dimension, saw the direction the beams of light moved and was shocked to see Ron and the masked girl there.

\'Could it be one of them?\'

After seeing the beams of light moving towards them, he suspected the anomaly had to be one of them; otherwise, the beams of light wouldn\'t specifically turn towards them.

Ron, who just teleported with the masked girl, didn\'t even have time to breathe when he sensed the upcoming danger heading towards them.

"Damn, it\'s following us."

He was about to teleport with the masked girl again when she shook her head at him.

"You teleport left and I go right," she said. "That way, we will know who the anomaly is."

Ron nodded at her and disappeared from there. Meanwhile, the masked girl also vanished from there, leaving a trail of golden light.
