I Can Copy Curses

"Hehe, who would have thought there'd be such a condition just to enter the Trial of Mind?" the rose-pink-haired lady chuckled lightly.

"Only one of us can enter the Trial of Mind," the heavy-built man said as he untied the broadsword from his back. "That means the rest of you can just die." He held his massive sword in both hands, releasing a heavy pressure.

"Sigh... I wanted to avoid fighting as much as possible, but the situation forces me to," the yellow-haired man sighed in defeat. His expression quickly darkened as he pulled out a dagger and disappeared from sight, surprising everyone.

The only other woman, besides the pink-haired lady, flew into the air as wings appeared on her back, trying to gain an advantage in the fight while staying alert for the yellow-haired man.

"Seriously, guys?!" The young man, who had been seated on the ground, stood up and dusted off his clothes. "Instead of fighting each other, we should eliminate him first. Otherwise, all this will be for nothing if he takes advantage of us." He pointed at Orion, who stood calmly on the boat.

Everyone turned their attention to Orion, considering the situation. Even if one of them won the fight, it would likely be a hard-fought victory. At that point, Orion could easily eliminate the last remaining person like crushing an ant.

This realization made the other four participants frown as they looked at Orion.

Orion smiled, noticing their hesitation, and said, "Don't worry. I won't do what you're thinking. I'll just watch your fight and leave once I see who the victor is."

"Hehe, come to me, and I'll protect you if you don't want to fight," the pink-haired lady called out to Orion, amused by his words.

"I already have someone in my heart, so I'll have to decline your offer," Orion sighed, shaking his head.

"I see, what a pity," the pink-haired lady sighed in response.

"It doesn't matter who I kill first," the heavy-built man said, glancing at each of them. "Since I'm planning to kill all of you anyway."

As soon as he finished speaking, he swung his sword down at the bored-looking man who had suggested attacking Orion first.

"Damn, you really think with your muscles!" The bored-looking guy waved his hand, creating a wall of concrete from the earth.

Bang!

The massive broadsword smashed through the wall, but the bored-looking man had already retreated, successfully blocking the attack.

"Mr. Bodybuilder, we should attack that guy on the boat first, or it'll be a disadvantage for us in the end," the girl flying in the air suggested.

"Don't order me around!" The heavy-built man swung his sword in the air toward the girl, releasing a wave of wind in her direction.

The girl quickly flapped her wings and moved aside, barely dodging the attack in time.

Suddenly, a white liquid-like substance flowed out from the bored-looking man and slammed into the heavy-built man.

Before the heavy-built man could react, the white liquid solidified, encasing him like a statue.

"Heh, that's the consequence of attacking me—" the bored-looking guy couldn't finish his sentence before the statue exploded, and the heavy-built man emerged.

"Die!" he roared, swinging his sword at the bored-looking guy.

"Damn!"

The bored-looking man quickly waved his hands, releasing more white liquid that touched the surface of the broadsword, creating another wall.

Bang!

But the heavy sword shattered the wall easily, sending debris flying in all directions.

"That was close," the bored-looking man muttered as he retreated.

At that moment, pink rose petals began falling around him. The petals were strangely beautiful, but knowing it was an attack, the bored-looking man quickly waved his hands in a circular motion, creating a dome of white.

Boom!

The petals exploded with a bright pink light, engulfing the area in a frenzied blast of color as explosions echoed all around.

After some time, the explosions died down, leaving a pink mist in the air.

Suddenly, a heavy sound echoed as something slammed into the ground, releasing a gust of wind that blew the mist away.

The heavy-built man had swung his sword to clear the mist. His clothes were singed in places, but his expression remained as serious as ever.

Meanwhile, cracks had appeared on the surface of the dome that the bored-looking man had created, but it hadn't fully broken when the petals exploded.

"Damn, all of you are crazy!"

The dome crumbled, revealing the bored-looking guy, who glared at the pink-haired lady, who was giggling with her hand over her mouth.

"You survived that, and even the big guy doesn't seem hurt," the pink-haired lady chuckled, clearly amused that both of them had survived her attack.

"You people are insane! I said we should attack that guy on the boat first, but instead, you started fighting me!" the bored-looking guy shouted.

The pink-haired lady shrugged. "It's not my fault. I saw you all busy and thought it was a good opportunity for a surprise attack, so I took it. Simple, really."

"No!"

A scream suddenly drew everyone's attention back to the boat.

They were shocked by the scene in front of them—Orion was holding the yellow-haired man by the neck.

"Guys, continue what you were doing," Orion said, smiling. "Don't worry about him. I'll take care of this one." He clenched the man's neck tighter.

"No! Let me go! I don't want to go to the Trial of Mind! Just let me go, and I'll run away!" the yellow-haired man begged, struggling in Orion's grip.

Orion smiled. "Okay." With that, he applied more pressure to his hand.

Crack!

A sickening crack sounded as Orion broke the yellow-haired man's neck, and a moment later, his body disappeared.
