I Can Copy Curses

After two to three minutes of continuously bombarding the monster with thousands of burning swords, his sun began to dim and shrink, its energy nearly depleted from the continuous assault.

Orion watched intently, hoping that the sustained onslaught had somewhat weakened the monster.

As the last few burning swords streaked through the air, his sun finally died down and vanished into thin air.

"Again!"

However, without waiting to see the results of his attack on the monster, he once again began to conjure another miniature sun at the top of his palm. The intense flames swirled and condensed rapidly, forming another blazing sphere hovering before him.

Orion knew he couldn't afford to give the monster any respite. So, he prepared to unleash another devastating wave of burning swords, determined to damage the monster as much as he could.

But before that, he needed to check if the barrage of swords earlier did any damage to the monster or not.

Looking at the position where the monster stood, he could only see smoke rising from the area. There were still some sparks of fire flickering here and there.

Orion's heart pounded as he tried to see through the haze, hoping that his attack had finally done some damage to the monstrous foe.

'If it's still fine with all that attack and sneak attack me with his tentacles, then that would be very depressing.'

He thought to himself as he prepared for any form of sneak attack from the monster. Even as he conjured another miniature sun, he knew he had to remain vigilant, ready for any sign of movement from within the smoke.

As time passed, the smoke began to dissipate, revealing the aftermath of Orion's devastating attack. The scorched ground was littered with remnants of burning debris, and the air was thick with the acrid smell of charred earth.

'Some of my swords reached the ground. I hope no one got injured because of that.'

Slowly, the outline of the monster became visible through the thinning smoke, and Orion's eyes strained to see whether his efforts had been enough to bring any damage to the monster or not.

A moment later, the smoke fully dissipated, and Orion could clearly see the monster.

He noticed that its head appeared completely fine, but its body, made up of earth, had some scratches and burning marks on its surface. Other than that, it was completely fine. The sight filled Orion with a mix of frustration and disappointment.

Deep down, he already knew that no matter how strong he became with all his curses and abilities, he would never be able to deal any significant damage to the monster in front of him because of the huge difference in their base strength.

However, seeing the bitter truth with his own eyes was very disappointing to him.

'I guess it's time for plan B.'

Putting away the depressing thoughts, he looked at the monster and intentionally flew towards it.

But he didn't even fly a few meters in the air when tentacles from the monster came and latched onto his arms and legs, pulling his gigantic form towards itself.

Orion didn't struggle and let the monster drag him. His next course of action depended on how close he could get to the monster in his gigantic form.

The tentacles, though only dragging his colossal body, still managed to deform his arms and legs where they gripped him. The immense pressure twisted and crushed the hexagonal layers of his form, causing them to crack and splinter.

Not long after, he was finally in close range of the monster. However, before he could implement his plan, the monster opened its mouth and unleashed a torrent of searing lava directly at him.

He couldn't dodge the lava at such a close range, so he opted to use the absolute defense this time to withstand the full brunt of the attack.

As the torrent of searing lava surged towards him, he activated his ultimate protective measure, creating layers upon layers of absolute defense only around his stomach region, since that was the region where his original body was enclosed.

He knew that even though he was using Electrostatic Disruption in Curse Transformation mode, it would be very difficult to withstand or repel the attack of the monster in front of him with only the basic absolute defense so he opted to only use this on the part that really matters to him.

Smoke began to emanate from Orion's colossal form as the lava began to pour over his impenetrable barrier. The intense heat caused the hexagonal layers to glow and emit plumes of steam and smoke.

Orion could feel the strain on his defenses; the sheer force of the lava was testing the limits of his absolute defense. Despite the overwhelming heat and pressure, he focused on maintaining the integrity of his absolute defense, determined to withstand the assault and seize the next opportunity to strike back at the monster.

As more time passed, his legs, his hands, and even his spherical head began to show signs of strain.

However, it wasn't long before they finally began to melt under the relentless assault. The intense heat and pressure from the lava caused the hexagonal layers of his colossal form to liquefy and drip away.

But the part where he had put the most focus was still floating in the air, even though it was fully covered in lava. Orion, who was inside that part, couldn't clearly see what was happening so he patiently waited for the attack to die down.

Some time later, the lava stopped flowing from the monster's mouth, and the remaining lava on Orion's colossal form began to slip away.

Orion saw that aside from the part protected with layers of absolute defense, other parts of his body were gone, melted away by the intense heat of the lava.

He had already expected that so he wasn't surprised to see that. What did surprise him, though, was that his absolute defense held on. He was ready to move onto his dimension at any moment if the lava were to break the layers of absolute defense he had placed earlier.

'It seems if I stack upon the layers of absolute defense, it will have greater repelling power.'

He thought as he turned his attention to the monster when the lava on his colossal stomach fully slipped away.

"Prepare for another one of my named techniques, you stupid monster."

He yelled at the monster as he summoned his miniature sun that he had conjured earlier. When he was dragged by the monster earlier, he sent this miniature sun to his dimension.

And now he summoned it back.

"Nuclear Sun!"

A huge sun, twice the size of their heads, appeared between them, casting a brilliant glow that illuminated the battlefield.

Orion quickly used that opportunity to hide away in his dimension. He didn't want to be a part of whatever was about to happen.

Also, he didn't use the Ten Thousand Burning Swords and instead directly used the miniature sun this time.

It was because he had noticed that even though Ten Thousand Burning Swords was a powerful technique, it didn't do much damage to the monster itself.

Hence, he decided to use the raw power of the miniature sun itself this time, hoping it would deal some significant damage to the monster.
