I Can Copy Curses

Chapter 269 : 269. A Fight of Speed



In just a moment, as Grey Orion observed her, one of Kitsuri's mirages appeared in front of him.

Grey Orion immediately condensed a sword of lightning and blocked her strike, but even then, he was sent tumbling across the ground.

And that was just one of her attacks.

A smile appeared on Grey Orion's face as he witnessed her strength, and he immediately unleashed the full potential of Thunder's Wraith. When Kitsuri arrived in front of him again, he swiftly retreated, lightning flashing between his legs.

As Grey Orion stepped back, Kitsuri appeared before him again, her speed almost impossible to track. This time, though, he was ready. His senses were sharp, his reflexes even sharper.

He blocked her strike with a swift, precise movement, the impact of their clash echoing like distant thunder. Almost instinctively, he conjured a lightning sword behind her, its energy humming with deadly intent.

But Kitsuri was faster than even his lightning; she vanished before the blade could land, leaving behind only a flicker of her presence.

Grey Orion wasn't about to let her get away. He surged forward, lightning crackling around him as he pursued her at blinding speed. Every time he closed the gap, he unleashed a flurry of strikes, each one charged with black lightning.

Kitsuri, nimble and relentless, countered whenever she found an opening, their blows sparking bright flashes in the sky.

Their battle became a race across the planet, a whirlwind of motion too fast for the eye to follow. They ripped through mountains, toppled cities, and sent shockwaves across oceans. The world trembled beneath their feet, the air alive with the raw energy of their fight.

Black lightning split the sky as they clashed, each strike like a thunderclap in the storm of their battle. They moved in perfect sync, a relentless dance of speed and power, leaving a path of devastation in their wake as they fought from one end of the world to the other.

However, not long after, Kitsuri's speed suddenly increased, leaving him behind in the dust. Grey Orion pushed his lightning powers to their limit and followed her, eventually arriving in the middle of an ocean where Kitsuri waited patiently.

"You're fast," Grey Orion complimented.

"You're even faster than me," Kitsuri replied, her expression a bit strange. She had always believed herself to be the fastest in the universe, second only to the leader of the Ten Seats, yet here was someone who could match her speed.

She added, "But that won't save you. You sealed your fate the moment you killed Merlin."

"I don't fear you or the Ten Seats," Grey Orion laughed lightly. "But let me ask you something, since I can tell that you and Rosaline are the only ones thinking clearly."

He asked, "Why are you so fixated on Merlin? He wanted to kill me, so I killed him. It's as simple as that. Spare me the talk about his merits or usefulness in war. I'm fed up with it."

Kitsuri was silent for a moment before she answered. "Because Merlin was set to become one of the future members of the Ten Seats, the Seat of Knowledge, before the war."

A look of realization dawned upon Grey Orion when he heard Kitsuri's words. Discover new content at m vl-em,py-r

"Haha, I see. Now I understand why Morkel was so anxious about him, and why you and the others were so concerned. It all makes sense now." He smiled, everything falling into place.

"But doesn't this make you the bad guys?" he added, looking at her. "You're supposed to be the literal laws of the world, yet here you are defending Merlin. I love the irony."

He then said, "Now I'm glad I killed him. I might have regretted it if I hadn't, only for him to become a member of the Ten Seats later."

Kitsuri looked at Grey Orion for a moment and said, "You're an anomaly, you know that? A clone should never have been able to leave the Null Void, and your escape means you're defying the natural laws of the world. Sooner or later, you'll be erased to restore balance."

Grey Orion frowned. "Erased by whom? The gods?"

Kitsuri smiled lightly for the first time. "The gods? You could say that. With your strength, you must feel the danger around you all the time, right? Like someone has been watching you ever since you left the Null Void."

Grey Orion's expression grew serious. She was right. He had felt that nagging sense of being watched since he left the Null Void, but he could never pinpoint where or when it came from. The feeling intensified whenever he used all his curses in Burst Mode, as if the observer was warning him, 'Be aware, I am watching you.'

The sensation was so obvious it made him believe the observer was intentionally making their presence known.

"Is it from Grimshore?" Grey Orion asked.

Kitsuri nodded. "Smart. I can't say much, but I can tell you this—you'll never be able to enter Grimshore, and I even have doubts about your original."

"What about my original?" Grey Orion asked, his tone solemn.

Kitsuri shrugged. "Nothing. You can't expect your enemy to tell you everything, can you?"

Grey Orion nodded lightly, then suddenly looked in a particular direction, a surprised expression crossing his face.

"So, you've been wasting my time here so one of your friends could prepare a lethal attack?" he asked, eyeing her mockingly.

Kitsuri smiled. "You're right."

Grey Orion gave her a strange look. "You should know about my speed. I can dodge any attack at the last moment. So, isn't your friend's attack pointless, or do you have something else planned?"

His eyes narrowed as he surveyed the surroundings, but he didn't find anything that could restrict his movements.

"You don't need to look around," Kitsuri said. "I'll be the one restraining you."

"You?" Grey Orion doubted she had the strength to do so.

"Doubting me, I see." Kitsuri smiled. "Let me show you something rare."

With that, she began to release an immense amount of red aura from her body, as if a volcano had erupted, unleashing a torrent of energy.

Grey Orion was surprised, never imagining she had such energy stored within her.

But the next moment shocked him to his core.

A figure in red armor began to condense behind Kitsuri, and it wasn't just any figure—it was a giant, as tall as a mountain.

Moments later, a colossal woman clad in full red armor stood behind Kitsuri.

Grey Orion was stunned, but before he could make sense of what he was seeing, the gigantic figure vanished.

"Crap!"

He immediately used his lightning to move away, but it was too late—he was held in place by two enormous hands.

Only his shoulders and head remained visible as the gigantic figure restrained him.

Grey Orion was in shock. Kitsuri had truly managed to restrain him.
