I Can Copy Curses

Chapter 110: 110. Scorplings

"Let's go," the masked girl said, looking at everyone. "But be careful of those corpses."

Orion and the others nodded as they carefully walked along the cave.

As they walked, they noticed the cave had traces of fighting everywhere. Some parts of the cave were burning with fire, while others were frozen blue. Weapons lay scattered across the ground, evidence of the intense battle that had taken place.

However, it seemed there hadn't been any casualties among General Dray's group, as they hadn't come across any human corpses along the way. Only the corpses of scorplings were scattered throughout the cave.

Like that, they continued to move forward slowly, and an hour passed in this manner.

Surprisingly, they hadn't encountered any obstacles or anything worth mentioning, so they reached the end of the path very quickly.

But just as everyone sighed in relief at reaching the end of the path easily, Orion heard something.

"Shhh!"

He put his finger on his lips, indicating everyone to remain silent. Concentrating on the sound, his expression changed greatly a moment later.

"Something is moving in large numbers towards us," he warned everyone. "Be ready."

Everyone's faces changed as they heard Orion. They quickly took out their weapons and gripped them tightly to face whatever was coming towards them.

A moment later, they could hear the sound of some creatures running towards them at the end of the path.

"Look!"

Lisa shouted, pointing at the distance where they could see a small cloud of dust making its way towards them.

"Something is coming!" Orion shouted, seeing that.

As the mass of clouds came closer, they could hear the running sound more clearly, and not only that, but they could finally see what it was that was approaching them like a storm.

To their shock, the approaching creatures weren't just one or two, but an entire pack of scorplings heading toward them at breakneck speed. Their numbers ranged around a hundred, and they moved like hungry wolves, their eyes glinting with feral intensity.

The ground seemed to tremble beneath their onslaught, and the air filled with the sound of their rapid, relentless approach.

Most importantly, the control over ice elements seemed to increase a lot. When it was mentioned in the description of the Curse Transformation, he had thought the increase would only be around 2-3%, but the actual increase was around 10%.

The unexpected boost in his ability to manipulate ice was a pleasant surprise, opening up new possibilities and strategies in combat that he had yet to explore.

Turning to Ryfin and the others, who were looking at him like a monster, Orion smiled wryly.

"It's my new sub ability I unlocked when I reached the iron rank," he said, scratching his head.

At the same time, he also deactivated the Curse Transformation causing his left hand to return to normal.

"Let's continue to move forward," he said, trying to divert their attention to the task at hand.

They nodded as they moved forward, and Orion also followed them from behind as he thought about his new ability.

'This Curse Transformation ability is too strong, even if I only use one curse. What would happen if I were to use two at the same time or all the curses I have at the same time?'

He believed that his strength would soar to new heights if he were to use more curses in the Curse Transformation mode, but that would also bring more negative emotions to his mind, which would ultimately do more harm than good.

The temptation to tap into the power of all the curses in the Curse Transformation was strong, but he knew that the price of giving in to that temptation would also be too high.

"Look! There are only mirrors ahead."

As he was thinking deeply about his ability, someone's shout brought him back to reality.

Turning his head forward, he was surprised to see mirrors of various sizes scattered throughout the front area. Not a single trace of ground or walls in the cave could be seen, as the entire area appeared to be surrounded by mirrors only.

The reflections from all these mirrors created an eerie and disorienting effect, making it difficult to discern what was real and what was merely a reflection.

"Why are there so many mirrors in the middle of a cave?" The masked girl thought out loud as she looked at an area full of mirrors.

"It should be a trap," Orion said, looking at everyone. "Think about it. There are so many mirrors in the middle of a cave. How often do you see them?"

"But who would build a trap here?" Lisa asked this time. "Even if this is a trap, General Dray's team has already passed this area, so this trap should have been broken, but why does it appear that it's still in effect?"

The questions Lisa asked caused everyone to ponder about the mirrors surrounding their path in front of them.
