I Can Copy Curses

At this moment, it was fighting toe-to-toe with the red bear, even though the rock golem appeared half the size of the red bear.

Every attack of the bear was met with an equally strong, if not stronger, strike by the rock golem.

Sometimes, when the huge paw of the red bear and the rock-like fist of the golem collided, it would create shockwaves that shook the entire forest.

They had been at it for almost an hour now, and it seemed like they could go for another hour or so.

But at that moment, the huge body of the red bear began to grow even bigger before it suddenly burst into a cacophony of red flames.

"Roar!"

The bear roared at the rock golem and lunged towards it, its body blazing with red flames. However, the rock golem just moved its right hand in front of itself.

And... Boom!

The red bear\'s gigantic body was blown away by an unseen force before it could even come close to the rock golem. It collided with a tree, breaking it apart before it came to a stop.

At that moment, the ground beneath the rock golem suddenly shattered, as if some huge force had been applied beneath its legs, propelling it towards the red bear.

But it couldn\'t control the sudden thrust of its own body and flew past the red bear before it too collided with a tree and came to a stop.

"Damn, it\'s very difficult to control the thrusts from the curse of Cursed Pulse when I am fully covered in rock armor."

Orion muttered to himself as he stood up after the collision.

Turning his head forward, he saw that the red bear was taking its time to attack him.

\'Has it reached its limits?\' Orion smiled. He had been fighting this red bear for almost an hour now, but no matter how they attacked each other, they would always come out in a draw.

\'I didn\'t use the curse of Berserk Body, but my strength has almost reached the same stage as this red bear by only using the curse of Rock Blockade.\'

He was very satisfied with his strength and the new curses at the moment.

After spending almost a day here, he had reached his peak in all his stats, and all that remained was to absorb five mutagens before upgrading himself to silver rank.

But before he could leave the forest, this red bear decided to visit him.

At first, Orion didn\'t plan on wasting time with this monster, but then he thought he should get accustomed to his new curses, and what better way to do that than by fighting a peak gold rank monster?

And hence the current situation.

Looking at the sun that was almost down, Orion decided to finish this up quickly.

Therefore, instead of using the curse of Cursed Pulse, he directly teleported in front of the bear and punched. His fist, full of rocks, hit the red bear straight in its stomach, catching it off-guard by Orion\'s sudden appearance and causing it to tumble back a step or two.

The bear growled, trying to fight back, but another punch greeted it from behind at that moment, causing its gigantic body to almost fall face-first. But the bear managed to stabilize itself and withstood the ground.

However, Orion didn\'t plan to waste any more time on it and rained down fists after fists on it, causing it to ultimately fall to the ground.

Using that opportunity, Orion jumped in the air and punched down on the bear while falling.

He also used the curse of Cursed Pulse at that moment. This curse released a burst of shockwave every time it was used.

Therefore, the moment Orion\'s rock-filled fist landed on top of the bear, it not only crushed its belly, but the ground below the bear also shattered into pieces.

\'Finally, dead.\'

Orion deactivated the curse of Rock Blockade, and his body soon returned to normal.

He had been using the curses of Rock Blockade and Cursed Pulse in Curse Transformation mode, so it wasn\'t difficult to kill a peak gold rank monster with these new curses.

After that, he went to the corpse of the red bear and took out its core before he left the forest.

Along the way to his hotel, he saw many people of various ages in the vicinity of the forest. Some were leaving the forests like him, while others were just starting.

\'Everyone wants to become stronger.\'

He understood that.

Picking up his pace, he soon returned to his hotel when he ran into Elyn.

A surprised expression graced her face before it returned to normal. "I was going to look for you," she said.

"Is Big Sis calling me?" Orion asked.

Elyn nodded.

Orion said, "Okay, I will meet her first then." He then ignored Elyn and walked past her.

"You have become stronger," Elyn said as Orion passed her.

Orion chuckled, "Reach the platinum rank fast, otherwise I might leave you in the dust." He appeared in the door located beside Elyn.

"That won\'t happen," Elyn said, her face becoming solemn all of a sudden.

Orion looked at her seriously and said, "You know what? If you could just laugh a little, you would really be the most beautiful woman." But he shook his head in pity. "But you don\'t. You always have the same boring and irritated look plastered on your face."

With those words, he didn\'t wait for her to reply before he opened the door in front of him and walked inside.

Elyn stood there in wonder, deep in thought about the words Orion had said to her.
