I Can Copy Curses

\'Let\'s see who these people are and why they did all of this,\' Orion thought as he moved through his dimension in the factory.

Not long after, he found one of the individuals responsible for his kidnapping. The person was searching behind huge machines for something or someone.

\'So, it\'s them!\'

Orion\'s eyes widened when he realized who was behind his kidnapping. It was none other than the Hades Reapers.

The man, who seemed to be searching for something, wore a skull mask—the symbol of the Hades Reapers.

\'Damn, these assassins are too dangerous. How did they find me?... Wait a minute! Have they kidnapped me thinking I\'m Ray Wiser or Orion Darkwood?\'

Orion\'s heartbeat quickened as he considered the possibility that these Hades Reapers assassins might be after Orion Darkwood.

He had been hunted by the Hades Reapers before, so he was certain they came for him knowing he was Orion Darkwood. But he couldn\'t understand how they knew he was Orion Darkwood when he was posing as Ray Wiser.

He was sure he hadn\'t left any clues or anything that would reveal his identity. He had been so cautious these past three months, certain he hadn\'t done anything that might expose the fact that Ray Wiser was a false identity and that he was really Orion Darkwood.

The only person who knew his identity as Ray Wiser was false was Mark, but even he didn\'t know that Ray Wiser was actually Orion Darkwood.

\'Then how did they find me? How did they know it was me?\' Orion thought bitterly. He understood that if this situation escalated, his true identity would inevitably be revealed.

\'Damn these assassins!\'

Orion also realized how these Hades Reapers assassins had tracked him every time he was in Aethelgard City.

He figured today was no different. It didn\'t matter if he was Ray Wiser or someone else—they always found him, no matter what.

Orion deduced that since they were targeting him, they must have some method to track his location. That was the only conclusion he could draw from his encounters with them.

Though he still couldn\'t figure out exactly how they tracked him or why they were targeting him, those questions remained a mystery.

\'They are dangerous. Very dangerous.\'

Orion calmed down and began to think about what to do next. Having acknowledged the danger posed by the Hades Reapers, he knew he had to proceed cautiously.

Looking back into the real world, Orion noticed the assassin in front of him was at platinum rank.

\'It would be difficult to take him down, and if I\'m not careful, I might alert the others,\' Orion reasoned. He didn\'t want to reveal himself to these assassins. Recalling how they had found a way to counter his intangibility back in Aethelgard City, he suspected they might even render his dimension useless if he showed them that ability.

From what he overheard, they seemed to think he had teleported away, and since he was still under the effects of the drugs, they assumed he hadn\'t teleported far, explaining their relentless search in and around the factory.

After thinking for a while, Orion reached a conclusion: he had to kill them all. The longer they stayed in Masturi, the more likely his identity would be exposed. But knowing the assassins were at platinum rank or higher, Orion wouldn\'t fight them directly. That would be suicide.

\'I\'ve never done this before, but let\'s see what happens.\'

Orion appeared just behind the assassin who was searching for him and used the curse of Dimensional Dissonance to drag him into his own dimension.

The moment he did, the assassin felt something pulling him from behind. Slowly but surely, his body began to disappear into the void.

"Agh! What\'s happening?" the assassin shouted, struggling against the force pulling him in. The ground beneath him shattered as he unleashed his full strength, but it was already too late.

Orion watched in horror as the assassin was pulled into his dimension. The man\'s body convulsed, contracted, and expanded violently before suddenly spinning into a swirling vortex and vanishing.

\'That\'s it. That\'s all it takes to kill a platinum rank expert here.\'

Orion was shocked by what he had witnessed, and sweat dripped down his face as he thought about his friends and others. There had been many times where he had considered pulling them into his dimension to save them, but now he was relieved that he hadn\'t—otherwise, he would have killed them instead of saving them.

But why the assassin died?

\'Curse Transformation mode! I\'ve been in Curse Transformation mode this whole time. Now I understand.\'

Orion realized the reason the assassin had died in his dimension was because he had been in Curse Transformation mode.

\'The only way to confirm my theory is to pull in another assassin,\' Orion decided as he moved through his dimension, searching for more assassins.

Before long, he came across another one, who was, like the previous assassin, distracted while searching for something.

\'He\'s distracted—perfect.\'

Orion quickly used his Dimensional Dissonance curse and sucked the assassin into his dimension. It was a slow process, but it happened in a matter of seconds.

"Ah, where am I?" the assassin panicked, looking around cautiously when he noticed Orion standing behind him.

"You! So you\'re hiding here." The assassin sneered as he began to release his energy, preparing to attack.

"Die," Orion muttered softly under his breath.

In an instant, the space around the assassin began to ripple and warp, distorting the very fabric of reality. The assassin froze as his body convulsed uncontrollably. Limbs twisted in unnatural directions, his form stretching and shrinking as if caught in an invisible vice.

The air crackled with raw power, and the distortion intensified, pulling the assassin into a vortex that materialized out of nowhere. His panicked expression was the last thing visible before his body was completely engulfed by the swirling darkness. The vortex spiraled tighter and tighter until it collapsed into itself, leaving nothing behind but a faint shimmer in the air.

The black hole that had swallowed him vanished as suddenly as it had appeared, leaving no trace of the assassin.
