I Can Copy Curses

\'If this body was indeed not born with a talent, then how come I have the talent when I awaken my system?\'

Orion pondered deeply about this and felt that the body he occupied appeared to be full of mysteries, and he had only just scratched the surface of it.

At that moment, he suddenly felt his body sway a little as he noticed the boat start to float in the air, gaining height before it began to drift in the direction Miira pointed.

As the boat soared high and started to move forward, a gust of wind washed over Orion\'s face, causing his messy hair and white tunic, full of dirt, to sway in the wind.

\'I like this world.\'

He thought as he felt that.

Soon, his attention was drawn to the island\'s scenery. He saw lush green forests all over the island, and in the center of them stood a broken wall long enough to be seen from the island\'s coasts.

However, his eyes mostly stayed on the previously empty skull throne, where now sat what appeared to be a man.

Orion couldn\'t discern his features exactly from so high up in the air, but he could tell that it was a man with skin that seemed to be deep blue in color.

\'So, that\'s the boss.\'

He thought, looking at the man sitting on the skull throne.

Before long, the boat passed by the boss monster\'s location and appeared at the top of a small pond.

"That\'s the area where I have sensed three human lives."

At that moment, he heard Miira\'s voice from behind her.

Orion looked at the area but found nothing. Instead, it appeared fully barren. In the center, there was only a pond, and all around it were grasses. Besides that, there appeared to be no trees around the pond.

It appeared as though the pond was situated in the middle of a lush forest, and all around it appeared only grasses on the ground. As for the trees, they were in a circular position on the far sides of the area surrounding the pond.

\'There\'s nothing here, and I don\'t see anyone.\'

He pondered as he looked around the area, but no one was there.

Seeing that, he turned to Ralf.

"Land the boat near the pond," he said. "But not onto the pond."

Ralf did what he was told and landed the boat near the pond.

At that moment, Orion turned to face the group of people in the boat.

"Runo and Ralf, take some strong ones and look around the pond," he said to both of them as he turned his attention to the two sisters. "Miira and… Liira, you two come with me."

They nodded as they began to choose who would go down and look around the pond.

Meanwhile, Orion looked at Rena.

"You are Rena, right?" He said. "Can you keep a close eye on the rest of the people on the boat before we come back?"

"Okay," Rena said. "Just make sure to not take too much time."

Orion nodded as he jumped from the boat and landed on the ground full of grass, followed by the group of sisters.

A moment later, Runo and Ralf also came down from the boat.

Turning to them, Orion pointed at the far sides of the area where trees could be seen.

"Runo, Ralf, you two go look around the trees and see if you can find something," he said to them. "Meanwhile, I will search around the pond."

They nodded as they went to look around the trees.

Seeing that, Orion turned his attention to the pond.

Now that he had observed the pond closely, he could see that it was as clean as a mirror, and because of that, he could see fish of different kinds he hadn\'t seen on Earth moving around.

But as he looked around, he didn\'t see any traces of Famir and Ryfin.

As soon as he saw that, a frown appeared on his face. Turning around, he was about to ask Miira to check again when he noticed the two girls were looking at the pond with sparkling eyes.

"Hey," he called out to them. "What happened?"

"The mana near the pond is so pure and dense that I feel refreshed just by breathing," Miira exclaimed to Orion.

Liira also nodded from the side.

"Mana?" When he heard Miira, Orion\'s frown deepened. Since his body couldn\'t feel mana at all, he couldn\'t sense what they felt.

For him, this pond appeared to be just another pond on Earth, but it was cleaner than the ones he had seen.

But that still made him curious about something.

\'Did Famir and Ryfin also come here sensing the mana?\'

He couldn\'t be sure about that, but he felt that it was most likely true; otherwise, why would they come to this pond in the middle of nowhere?

\'Even if they did come here, then where are they now?\'

Frowning about it, he once again turned to Miira.

"Miira," he said. "Can you check once again and see if they have moved from this place?"

Miira nodded as she once again kneeled on one leg and put her hands on the ground.

A moment later, she frowned as she turned to look at Orion.

"No, they haven\'t moved," she said, appearing puzzled. "I can sense them, and according to that, they should be right here, just beside us."

Orion frowned as he heard her because, as far as he could see, there wasn\'t anyone in the vicinity, excluding their group of people. So, he couldn\'t understand if Miira sensed it wrong or if there was more to the situation that met his eyes.

Therefore, he walked around the pond, searching for any hidden caves, and also went near Runo and Ralf\'s group to search there.

However, at the end, he returned empty-handed. He couldn\'t find anything—not even a clue. It was as if Famir and Ryfin had disappeared after coming to this place.

"There is no one here at all."

As he kicked a stone near his feet into the pond, Orion shouted in frustration.

"Pudong!"

The stone fell into the pond and disappeared within.

When he witnessed this, Orion felt shocked because the water in the pond appeared so transparent that he could see fish moving in there, but the strange thing was that the stone he just kicked away after falling into the pond disappeared.

He didn\'t see the stone sink deeper into the pond through the transparent water. It felt as if the stone vanished when it entered the pond\'s water.

But Orion didn\'t get time to ponder about the pond as he soon saw a dark green tree vine thick as his arms crawled out of the pond like a snake, and the moment it crawled out, it latched onto Miira, who was washing her face by the water, coiling around her body, and then went into the pond.

Because the vine was too fast, Orion couldn\'t react in time to save Miira. He clearly saw the vine emerge from the pond, but when it latched onto Miira and took her into the water, its speed increased to the point that he only saw a green blur before Miira was taken away.

"Miira!"

Liira shouted loudly when she saw this and ran towards the pond, intending to jump on it.

But Orion didn\'t let her go, as he held her hand before she could jump.

"Go to the ship and warn everyone not to come near the pond," he hurriedly said to her. "I will save Miira. Go, now."

As soon as he said that, three swords came out of his pocket dimension, and his body started to glow red in activation of his absolute defense. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

With that, he didn\'t waste any more time and quickly jumped into the pond.
