I Can Copy Curses

As the Darkwood family's void shuttle came inside the dome, Orion could clearly see the magnificent royal palace at the center. It shaped like an octagonal castle and had many forts all around it.

And all around the royal palace were many cities, gardens, deserts, and many things people could think of that should exist in Emperor Heaven Palace.

Orion was really liking the view of the palace. He had thought his home was very amazing but when compared to this royal palace, his home appeared as if it were a normal mansion of some low-level family or some place abandoned by someone.

It was quite a bizarre feeling for him knowing his home could also be called a poor place if someone living in this place were to visit his home.

Soon, the shuttle of theirs landed at an area designated for the landing zone but it only included the seven Magi families.

A different place had been assigned to those from the normal families and organisations.

"Welcome, Orion, Emily, Uncle Barion, and Aunt Olivia."

No sooner they came out of the shuttle than Erick welcomed them. It appeared he had been waiting for them for quite a while now.

And he was not alone; Princess Luma was with him.

"Haha, how have you been Crown Prince Erick?" Barion asked with a smile.

"Uncle, I have told you many times; don't call me by like that; just call me by my name," Erick said, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Hahaha, as you say, Nephew Erick," Barion laughed.

"Follow me; I will take you guys to your residence." Erick nodded and led them to their residence.

"Has the other Magi families arrived?" Orion asked along the way.

"Yeah, all of them except one," Erick replied.

Orion didn't need to ask to know which magi family didn't come for there could only be one family and that was the Valen Family.

Erick led them to a spacious hotel-like room and left before long.

This room or one might argue manor, was the Darkwood family's stay of living for the coming two days in the Emperor Heaven Palace.

"Tonight will be the banquet where only the chosen family and organisations are allowed to come so there might be some people from the Human Federation Realm and Martial Domain."

Barion's father sat on a sofa and besides him were many other chairs where other members of the Darkwood family sat.

Orion nodded, hearing his father's words. He understood that this would be the real banquet where many guests from all three domains might come.

As for the one that would be held tomorrow, that was only to entertain the common people of the Magus Kingdom.

"Archons will be there tonight, right?" Orion said, looking at his father.

Barion nodded. "If I am not wrong, then they are already here in the Emperor Heaven Palace and unlike last time where Carl and his group couldn't recognise you two, I believe they will be well prepared this time."

Orion understood that and he even speculated that there might even be two groups of people that should have come this time. The one from the Archons who wanted to find out the killer of their young masters and the one from the Carl family.

But only if they knew that both their source of problem was the same person.

"I will go to my room now," Orion said at this time, surprising everyone. "Tell me an hour before you guys get ready for the banquet."

"What's the hurry?" Emily asked, seeing Orion was planning to leave so fast.

"I have to train," Orion said those words and left for his room.

Everyone looked suspiciously at Orion, feeling there might be something wrong with him.

"What's with him?" Barion asked Olivia, his wife.

Olivia shrugged. She also didn't understand why Orion left so early.

Only Emily kept looking in the direction Orion went; her eyes looked focused and sharp.

"Emily, do you know anything?" Olivia asked her daughter.

Emily nodded lightly. "From what I can tell, he is nervous about something and it seems to be related to Emperor Heaven Palace."

"The tournament or... them?" Barion guessed.

"Maybe both," Emily shook her head. "I am not sure."

In fact, she had some other guesses too about why Orion left so early but she didn't tell them.

After that, they discussed some more things before they took a rest.

***

In his room, Orion pondered for a long time before he came up with something.

'Let me try reality Fracture in Curse Transformation mode.'

He immediately activated the curse of reality fracture in Curse Transformation mode and closed his eyes in concentration.

A while later, he opened them, and a sharp light passed through them.

'This is something I can work with but I have to do some running here...'

He thought and deactivated the curse of reality Fracture and activated the curse of dimensional dissonance in Curse Transformation mode.

He rarely used this curse in Curse Transformation mode but for what he intended to do right now, only Curse Transformation could help him at the moment.

'It all depends on whether or not I can move into my dimension in this place.'

Taking a deep breath, he used his ability and like always, he appeared in his dimension.

'It works!'

There had been many times where he couldn't move into his dimension and many of those had occurred when he was in some restricted space.

And being inside the Emperor Heaven Palace, it was given they were inside a restricted space.

'I guess I never tried moving into my dimension in Curse Transformation mode. Also, combining this curse with reality Fracture makes things way easier for me.'

He then came out of his dimension and opened the window of his room. After that, he went back in his dimension and disappeared out of the window.
