I Can Copy Curses

Chapter  93. True Perfection

Orion was standing in the other dimension, wondering why his body hadn't become tangible at that time.

At the time of the battle, he hadn't paid too much attention to that, but now that he had some time, he pondered about it.

'Let's try again then.'

He used the curse of Dimensional Dissonance to make his body intangible, but again ended up in failure.

However, this time he noticed something shining around his right thigh.

'What's that?' n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He looked closely and saw that it was a square-shaped, thin metal box the size of his nails.

Picking it up, he observed it carefully and came to a shocking conclusion.

'This is a technological device. How could it appear in the Magus Kingdom? I haven't seen a single thing related to science here on Planet Sadola at all.'

He wondered as he looked at the device carefully.

'It must be that little girl who attached this to me when she hugged me.'

Orion was sure that it was that girl who did this. Other than her, he hadn't gotten close to anyone who could have done this.

'It seems all of that was a facade to put this device on me. The assassin only saw me using my intangibility ability once, and he came up with a countermeasure.'

He felt even more glad that he didn't showcase his ability to vanish into thin air; otherwise, he feared the next time they would meet, the assassin would definitely have the counter to his move.

Also, he felt pity for the lady and her kid. Because of him, they were swept into all of this.

'I hope they are fine.'

He thought as he headed to the mining area.

Arriving at the entrances of the countless tunnels just below Market Street, Orion chose one tunnel randomly and walked inside.

'I need to have all my attributes at max in a week.'

He thought as he headed deep into the cave.

***

A week passed by as Orion was busy maxing out his attributes.

In the cave where he was hunting monsters for their cores, only the corpses of monsters and blood could be seen all around.

At this moment, Orion was sitting on a rock nearby, drinking water, as he observed his stats.

'All my attributes have finally reached their maximum potential, and even my mastery of talent has reached 10%. Now all I need is some high-ranking cores for mutagens.'

He thought as he happily looked at his status.

Ghh!—

'What was that?'

He suddenly heard a monster cry. He had become accustomed to these cries lately, as he had been doing nothing but hunting for a whole week.

Standing up, he silently moved towards the area where the cry came from and saw a two-headed snake lying there.

He was surprised to see this monster because the aura it released made Orion believe that the monster was at the silver rank.

Moreover, the two-headed snake appeared heavily injured as it lay on the ground.

'Looks like it's going to die soon.'

A very devilish idea came to Orion's mind at the moment. He thought that he should steal its core and ran away before the one who damaged the two-headed snake could arrive.

The temptations of a silver rank core were just too great, and because of this, once the idea of stealing came to his mind, he couldn't let it go.

'It's not stealing if no one sees it.'

He thought as he quickly took out his heavy sword and severed the two heads of the snake with a swing.

He then quickly dug out its core and ran away.

However, he didn't go far when a golden beam of light came straight at him.

'It seems I am too late.'

He thought as he took out his heavy sword and blocked the golden light.

At that moment, he saw whose prey he had stolen. He saw that it was a golden haired lady, but he couldn't see her face as she appeared to be wearing a rabbit-style mask on her face.

"You!" She yelled at him. "Return my silver rank core."

"What core?" Orion feigned ignorance. "I don't know what you are talking about."

"Shameless!" She once again yelled at him. "It was you who stole the core from the two-headed snake that I painstakingly injured."

Orion felt a little bad for her, but he didn't want to give her such a precious treasure after he had gotten his hands on it.

Moreover, from the aura she was releasing, he could tell she was at iron rank, so there wasn't any need to fear her. He could just escape from her if he needed to.

He also wanted to check his strength after he maxed out all his attributes. He felt that he was significantly stronger than before, but he couldn't tell how much, and she just happened to come at the right time.

"You mean this?" He asked, taking out the core he had dug out of the two-headed snake.

"You really are the one who stole it!" She said, her eyes wide. "Now, give it back to me."

Orion smiled as he put his sword down.

"You want this?" He said it, smiling. "Then take it."

The girl in the rabbit mask felt irritated as she heard him.

"You will regret it," she said angrily as she held her right hand toward him. As if casting a spell, five mini golden light swords materialized, revolving around her hand.

These five golden swords then flew towards Orion like five golden rays of light.

But Orion neither activated his absolute defense nor made his body tangible. He just stared closely at the five swords moving toward him.

A moment later, these golden swords arrived before him.

It was then that Orion took action. He flicked his finger at the first sword, causing it to get deflected and crash into the wall of the cave. He then moved both his hands in quick succession, causing the remaining four swords to get deflected as they crashed into the walls.

The masked girl who witnessed all of that was shocked to the core. She couldn't believe a person in bronze rank just deflected all her swords so effectively.

She herself knew how lethal those golden swords were. She believed that even those in iron rank would have a hard time facing those swords. But the one in front of him handled those swords as if they weren't lethal attacks but mere toys.

Meanwhile, Orion nodded in satisfaction. He felt that it was an overall increase in strength, stamina, perception, agility, and constitution that gave him this overwhelming power. His senses were sharper, his movements more fluid, and his endurance seemingly limitless. All these enhancements made him feel invincible, as if there were no challenge too great or enemy too formidable.

By maxing out all his attributes, he had achieved perfection in bronze rank—true perfection that no one had ever achieved—and no one had ever thought of achieving that.
