I Can Copy Curses

Chapter 39: 39. Apologize

'Why are they coming here?'

Orion frowned, looking at them coming towards him.

'Can't one get a moment of peace alone here?'

He let out a sigh, his eyes narrowing as he focused on them.

"What do you guys want?"

Hearing his words, Liira glared at him.

"What's with that look and that irritated voice? It's as if you don't even want to see us."

Orion nodded hurriedly at her as he chuckled.

"Indeed, I don't want to see you guys. Just go away."

He dismissively waved his hand at them.

Seeing this, Liira stomped her foot and was about to yell at him when she recalled what they came here for.

'Calm down.'

Taking deep breaths, she forced herself to calm down because of that.

Observing the tension between them, Rina stepped forward, facing Orion directly.

"Hey, we didn't come here for a fight."

Orion turned toward her upon hearing her voice.

"Then what are you here for?"

At that moment, unexpectedly, Rina bowed down to him.

"I am sorry for what Runo did to you."

Orion was taken aback by her action. Most importantly, he felt embarrassed that he had made a girl bow down to him.

"It's not your fault, so you don't have to do this."

He hurriedly shook both of his hands at her. Meanwhile, he wondered why that self-proclaimed bastard of a guy had such good teammates.

After bowing down and seeing that Orion didn't seem to care about what Runo did to him, Rina sighed in relief and nodded at him.

At that moment, Orion turned to look at everyone on Runo's team.

"So, I suppose you guys aren't here just to witness what happened now, right?"

Although he hated Runo to the core, he really didn't care about his teammates. Excluding Liina and Dion, who betrayed him, but even that was something he had already speculated on.

Most importantly, he understood now that whatever they did previously was something even he would do if he were in their place, so he really didn't feel anything towards them.

But there was always an exception, and in Orion's case, it was the skeleton controlling guy. He hated this kid to the core.

At that moment, Jarth wanted to say something to Orion, but before he could, the portal from which Runo had vanished vibrated with a low hum as Runo appeared from that portal.

Seeing him come out so fast, everyone felt surprised.

Even Runo's team members had not thought that he would come back so fast.

"Did you successfully kill the first guardian?"

Agnar asked, his face appearing red at the thought of how someone could defeat a guardian so quickly.

Although it was just the first guardian, nobody had ever defeated it that fast.

Runo nodded at him as he also turned to face him, his expression filled with doubt.

"The first guardian was so easy that I can't believe the third one would be as much stronger as you people thought it out to be."

Walric on the side shook his head with a wry smile.

"That's what we thought first. According to what we know, the level of the first guardian seems average at bronze rank, the second one is at the peak of bronze rank, and the third one is at iron rank. And not just an average iron rank, but an elite one at that."

Runo frowned. He thought that if the third guardian were really an elite at the iron rank, then it would not be an easy task to defeat him.

"Alright, I will keep that in mind."

Saying that, he went towards his team.

Meanwhile, Orion distanced himself from Runo's team as he closed his eyes and rested.

Like that, three hours passed.

"Clap!"

At that moment, a clapping of hands sounded.

Orion and the others turned to see that it was Feran who came to the middle of the rectangular hall and just clapped.

"Now, those who want to learn the Three Divine Ways come here."

Orion stood up and approached him, noticing as he did so that not everyone from Runo's team had come.

'The big guy can't fight, or is he only a meat shield?'

He wondered. A moment later, he arrived in front of Feran.

Seeing everyone had arrived, Feran nodded in satisfaction.

"Before I tell you about the Three Divine Ways, let me tell you about us old people in the temple."

He appeared to be lost in thought as he continued.

"The truth is, we were like you kids when we came here, but unfortunately, we have been trapped here for about fifty years now. During this time, many people came to this temple, but none succeeded in defeating the third guardian, ultimately becoming like us."

He sighed, thinking about it.

"But we didn't lose hope and thought about how we could help those who came later in the future. That's when we thought about the Three Divine Ways. Although it's difficult to learn the Three Divine Ways in bronze rank because of the low amount of mana we have, it's not impossible either."

As he finished those words, a gust of wind released from his position in all directions, blowing away the dust around his feet.

Not long after, everyone in the hall felt a heavy pressure descending upon them; even Runo, who was at the peak of bronze rank, felt that pressure.

"This...this..."

Witnessing this, Runo couldn't believe his eyes.

However, this was far from over.

A moment later, Feran's form began to release hues of green glow all around him as he bathed himself in the gentle green light, illuminating the whole hall inside the temple.

Before long, all these hues of green glow around his body flowed towards his back and started to gather together at a point to form a glowing green ball that hovered quietly behind his back.

As this transformation was completed, the pressure everyone felt doubled.

Runo, who witnessed the whole thing with his own eyes, felt his worldview shaken. He knew how difficult it was to learn the Three Divine Ways in bronze rank, but seeing someone do it in front of him left him speechless.

Not just Runo, but everyone on his team felt the same shock as him. Even Orion felt surprised by this amazing display of power.

Earlier, he had thought that the Three Divine Ways would let one use the power of mana, so he wasn't interested since he didn't possess mana, but seeing this transformation and the power behind it made him think otherwise.
