I Can Copy Curses

But Orion didn\'t stop there. He continued to supply energy to the sphere while flying in all directions, dodging the attacks of the shadow eagles.

It wasn\'t until a few minutes later that he finally came to a stop. At this moment, Orion gripped a swirling green sphere—a massive orb of wind pulsing with formidable energy. The sphere, about twice the size of his head, rotated violently, generating an intense gust of wind that surged out in all directions.

The sheer force of the wind from the sphere kept the shadow eagles at bay. Each time they tried to dive toward him, they were met with a powerful blast of air that sent them tumbling through the sky, unable to regain their bearings.

With the sphere in hand, Orion took a deep breath and assessed the situation. The relentless attacks from the shadows continued, but the wind barrier created by the sphere kept them at a distance. This moment of relative calm provided him with a brief respite to focus on his next move.

"It\'s complete. Let\'s see what it does." Orion laughed slightly and dropped the swirling green sphere from his hands.

It fell to the ground and suddenly generated a tornado. The tornado was massive and rotated violently. However, instead of blowing the shadow eagles away, the wind from this tornado began to attract them, pulling them into its swirling vortex.

The shadow eagles, being flying creatures, couldn\'t control themselves when pulled by the tornado\'s suction. They were all drawn into the tornado, which changed its color from green to light gray.

But the suction didn\'t stop there. The tornado raged throughout the entire dome, pulling in even the shadows that made up the dome\'s walls. It left nothing behind and engulfed every shadow it encountered.

A moment later, a crack appeared on the ceiling of the dome due to the tornado\'s continuous suction of shadows. The crack expanded in all directions like a huge spider web, eventually breaking down like a mirror shattering into fragments that disintegrated into nothingness.

When this happened, Orion waved his hand, and the tornado died down. It was at this moment that everyone in the hall could once again see him and Patrick.

"I admit defeat," Patrick said with a deadpan expression, as if the outcome of the battle didn\'t matter to him.

Orion shrugged and also went back. He was one step closer to attaining his goal.

However, as he turned around, he noticed everyone was looking at him with shocked expressions. He didn\'t understand what had surprised them.

"Ray Wiser is so strong. Even with all the shadows surrounding him from all directions, he was able to quickly react and ultimately win in the end."

"And that tornado at the end. It was a game-changer, sucking every shadow into oblivion."

"This battle was awesome. Not only that, but I believe his chances for the final battle have increased."

"He must have been hiding his strength all this time. I\'ve been with him in a few dungeons, and he never showed such strength. It seems he\'s been concealing his power just for this moment."

The members and spectators in the stands began discussing the battle, and Orion was surprised to see that they could still observe the battle while inside the dome.

Looking around, he noticed a hologram screen flickering in the distance. It was a screen that hadn\'t been present before his battle with Patrick.

\'I see. It\'s someone\'s talent combined with technology that resulted in this.\'

Orion thought and walked back.

"Ray Wiser wins," Nathan announced, declaring the winner of the battle.

"Ray, you are very strong!" Shuna said immediately when Orion came back, her voice tinged with jealousy.

Orion nodded slightly. He already knew that Shuna was someone who sought strength and wasn\'t surprised by her jealousy. Everyone in this world aspired to become stronger, and he wasn\'t an exception. Her jealousy was not uncommon.

"Don\'t get too confident. Your next battle will be against me. You\'ll find out your place then," Josh said grumpily.

Orion ignored him and turned to Roman. "You said something about Patrick winning?" He didn\'t forget Roman\'s remark and intended to address it.

"Ah," Roman laughed embarrassingly and chose to remain silent.

Orion smiled and turned his attention towards the opposite end of the hall, where Erza and the higher members of the guild were standing.

He saw the higher members of the guild talking about him, and he could hear them clearly. He also noticed Erza smiling when she saw him. Orion smiled back at her. It was thanks to her that the battle escalated to that level; otherwise, it might have ended sooner. However, it didn\'t matter in the end.

He understood why Erza seemed happy. She was likely thinking she had seen the full strength of Ray Wiser, and Orion didn\'t doubt that. She and everyone else present had indeed witnessed the full strength of Ray Wiser, but not him. They had seen only what he wanted to show them.

"Josh and Shuna, come forward for the battle," Nathan announced, summoning the next contestants.

Josh sneered at Shuna and went ahead. Shuna gritted her teeth and followed. Even if she were to lose, she wouldn\'t give up. When she had heard that Reilly would also be participating in the selection, she had already lost hope of becoming the chosen one.

But a flicker of hope had always burned brightly in her heart, telling her that somehow she might still become the chosen one. That\'s why she decided to participate in the selection. However, it now seemed pointless. She felt delusional for holding onto that hope. Experience tales at m v|l e\'-NovelBin.net
