I Can Copy Curses

Chapter 365 365. Trial of Courage

"How much more can your body withstand?" the young man muttered, feeling curious.

On the other hand, Orion was sweating, thinking hard about the test. He wondered what was expected of him. He was sure it wasn't just surviving the young man's attacks, nor was it simply to be beaten by him. There had to be something else.

But what?

'Think, Orion, think!'

Orion's mind buzzed with various thoughts, but none provided the answer he sought.

"Well, let's try something else then," the young man mused before approaching Orion and tapping him with a finger.

Like a missile launched from a rocket, Orion was sent hurtling backward in a straight line, obliterating everything in his path. Buildings crumbled, construction sites were leveled, and even hospitals were torn apart by the sheer force of his trajectory. Anything that stood in his way was annihilated in an instant.

He flew through the city like a destructive force of nature, unstoppable until he finally reached its outskirts, where the dense cluster of buildings gave way to open spaces, and the dark silhouettes of distant forests came into view.

Orion lay there amidst the debris and wreckage. He couldn't tell if his body was damaged or not. He only felt the scratches from the sudden crash.

'Damn it! What the hell is this test?'

He had no clue. He couldn't defeat the young man, and no hint or clue about the test came to mind.

"Oh, you survived that too. It seems you haven't taken enough damage yet again, which is quite remarkable," the young man remarked, examining Orion.

"What is this test about? Any clue or hint you can give me?" Orion asked, feeling lost.

"Stupid! You're very stupid for someone with such a strong body," the young man sneered. "Think about it. The last test was a test of will. So what could this one be?"

Orion pondered for a moment. 'Test of will, test of strength? Test of intelligence? Test of courage?' He considered various possibilities, trying to make sense of the situation.

Orion frowned. "What do you mean? I didn't do anything unusual. What are you talking about?"

The young man sneered. "You don't need to know." He raised his hand and began to snap his fingers, deliberately slowing down, focusing intently on Orion.

Orion watched silently but didn't react to him. The young man finally snapped his fingers, causing Orion's body to explode into pieces.

When Orion opened his eyes again, he found himself in the same spot where he had exploded, with the young man smiling at him.

"How did you figure it out so quickly?" the young man asked, intrigued.

"Wasn't it obvious?" Orion replied smiling. "The first test was about will, the second about courage, so I guessed the last would test fear or death. Since you're asking, I assume I passed, meaning my guess was right."

The young man nodded. "You were almost correct. This test was about facing death. If you had resisted even a little, you would have failed. But there are other ways to pass this test besides just accepting death."

"Is that so?" Orion said, curious but dismissing the thought. "Well, it doesn't matter now. Just tell me if I can comprehend the true name of my Divine Soul now that I've passed the three tests."

The young man smiled. "To do that, you'll need to pass all three trials. So far, you've only completed the Trial of Heart. The other two—Trial of Mind and Trial of Body—are still ahead of you."

He added, "Check your vision. A new red dot should have appeared by now." Discover hidden tales at empire

Orion looked and saw that there was indeed a new red mark.

"By following that mark, you can track the locations of the other two trials," the young man explained.
