I Can Copy Curses

"What the hell!"

Orion cursed when he suddenly found himself falling through the air.

'Everyone else also got dragged here.'

And not just them in Erick's void shuttle but everyone who came to the cursed tree for fruits was falling with them.

It appeared as though a colourful mass of balls were falling in a grey landscape. It was a surreal scene.

As they reached near the surface, they found that they were landing and falling inside a forest.

'They could fly!'

Orion then noticed that all the people who were in the gold ranks suddenly stopped midway in the air and started floating.

"Help me!"

"I can't fly!"

"Someone help me!"

However, it was at that moment that he heard the desperate shouts of people falling through the air, their cries reverberating throughout the grey lands. These people were only at the silver rank and couldn't fly because of it. They yelled and begged for help.

'My team!'

Hearing them, Orion was reminded of his team. He quickly searched through the individuals falling through the air and caught sight of Dustin, Lucy, and Tray. Like him, they were plummeting at a very fast pace.

'I will help to help them.'

He quickly activated the curse of electrostatic disruption and flew through the air towards his team.

Arriving before them, he immediately used the ability of electrostatic disruption on their bodies, causing them to float in the air like he would control his swords.

He soon controlled them in the air as he slowly made his way onto the ground.

"Everyone! Help those who are falling."

At that moment, a loud shout reached everyone's ears.

Orion turned to see that it was Crown Prince Erick who had spoken just now.

Hearing his words, those gold-ranking experts began helping those who were falling as much as they could. Some carried 3–4 silver ranks and were falling, while others could only take 2.

Seeing them, Orion sighed and decided to help them as well.

'I might as well do it.'

He extended the radius of his ability to those around him who were falling and just like that, they suddenly stopped and floated down slowly.

However, there were still casualties. Almost two-thirds of the people who had come to the cursed tree for its fruits were silver ranks and the rest were gold ranks. So, even if the gold rank experts saved as many as they could, there were still many humans who were unlucky and died due to falling.

Erick's eyes were bloodshot as he witnessed almost half the people from the outside end up dead through falling.

"Evans!"

He yelled, looking at Evans, who was floating away somewhere.

"Your Valen Family... will face extreme punishment... for that."

Erick spat these words one by one.

However, Evans didn't even bother to turn around to reply and he disappeared from sight.

"Damn it!"

At the moment, Erick couldn't do anything as he was carrying three silver-rank experts himself. He could only watch as Evans flew away.

'Tubbo was left behind intentionally?'

He didn't see his platinum-rank servant. Why was he left behind? Most importantly, was what Evans said about the tree wanting them to be brought here true, so it could summon them to this world? But why leave Tubbo behind? Was he too strong? And what did the tree want from them?

There were so many questions in his head but no one answered them.

"Look! What are those?"

At that moment, someone shouted and pointed down to the forest, which attracted everyone's attention.

Orion also looked down. He had been busy saving as many people as he could. Unlike others, he didn't require hands to carry them so he was able to save much more people than average. He also used Curse Transformation, making the electrostatic disruption even more powerful and with that, he alone was able to save around 20–30 people.

As he looked down, he saw something big moving through the forest, like a snake, but a huge one.

'That was...!'

An unforgettable memory resurfaced in his mind as his eyes looked at the moving bushes and trembling trees in the forest.

"That's a centipede!" Princess Luma shouted.

Everyone's face turned dark upon witnessing such a long centipede.

Especially for Orion, but the good thing was that it was smaller than the one that attacked them in the ocean.

"It's looking towards us."

Everyone was shocked to see that the centipede had crawled up like a snake in the middle of the forest and was looking at them.

Its huge body was as tall as tower and the tallest tree in the forests couldn't reach 30% of its height.

"Everyone stop and don't go down." Erick shouted.

There wasn't a need for that, as nobody moved when they saw the huge centipede in the forest.

"Brother, what should we do?" Princess Luma asked. "We couldn't attack the centipede while carrying people."

Erick was also thinking about that. From what he could tell, the strength of the centipede wasn't much, only around the peak of gold rank, which they could handle easily. However, since they were carrying so many people with them, it was almost impossible to attack the centipede.

"Send them to me!" Orion shouted.

Erick looked at him and was surprised to see so many people floating beside him.

"You can handle more?" He asked in surprise. He felt that controlling so many people would already be the limit of his talent but it seemed he underestimated him.

"Just send them in." Orion nodded.

Erick nodded and was about to go and leave the people he carried to Orion when he noticed someone else had arrived before him.

It was Elyn. She stood before Orion and looked at him in the eyes.

"Take them." Elyn left the people she carried and they started to fall suddenly.

"Damn, at least warn me before you do that." Orion cursed as he immediately went down, caught these people under his ability and floated above.

"It's all because of you." Elyn only said those words before she floated down like a rocket and arrived in front of the centipede.

"It's all because of me? What does she mean by that? Is she meant it's my fault because this happened on one of the planets owned by the Darkwood family?" Orion couldn't understand her at all.

At that moment, Erick appeared in front of him with Astral, Princess Luma, and the others.

"Don't fret over her words. She is like this with all of us." Erick said to him:.

Orion nodded. "She is very strange."

"And your sister is not? Emily and she are best friends and they both are like that. I have tried so many times to be friends with them but they just ignored me. Humph!" Princess Luma pouted with dissatisfaction.

"My sister too?" Orion frowned. He had indeed noticed some changes in his sister but he didn't know it was as big as they said.

"You didn't know?" Astral asked.

Orion shook his head.

"Well, I know your sister very well," Astral said, remembering his past. "When she was in gold rank, she used to be rank 1 in the elite rankings and I was rank 2. I was very strong even at that time but I couldn't withstand even a move from her. She was just too powerful. However, it was her behaviour that stood out to me the most. She was too silent.

I never saw her talk to anyone on her own accord, and even if she did, it was always greetings to seniors as a form of respect. Overall, I find her very strange, just like Elyn."
