I Can Copy Curses

Chapter 387 387. Zeref's Goal

Zeref's face grew serious as Orion asked the question. She had been waiting for this moment, waiting for Orion to ask her.

"I want revenge. I want the Archons dead. I want them all dead," she spat, trembling in anger and rage. "This godlike page, all this power means nothing to me if I can't take my revenge. So, please take this page and help me enact my revenge. Help me kill some Archons."

Orion's expression darkened. Revenge against the Archons? Killing Archons? So far, only one person had done that: Orion Darkwood.

"What are you talking about? Are you mad?" Mark shouted. Revenge against Archons, killing Archons—he couldn't even imagine it. To him, Archons were the epitome of power in this world, and going against them meant inevitable death.

Orion didn't seem to hear Mark and looked at Zeref coldly. "How did you know?" he asked.

Zeref replied calmly, "I suspected when I saw Ray was already dead, and someone was impersonating him. I thought, why would someone impersonate a dead guy? That's when your face came to mind. Only someone who didn't want to be seen would use this method, but I wasn't sure at the time."

She continued, "However, after seeing your strength at the assessment, I was almost certain it could only be you. And now, when you clutched my neck in the blink of an eye and brought me to the brink of death, I was one hundred percent sure it could only be you."

Her expression turned to one of hatred. "Help me. I want revenge. They killed my mother, and my father committed suicide after failing to save her. My brother is dead because of them, and I want revenge for all of them. I want to watch the Archons die slowly before my eyes.

Only then will I be able to live—or die—in peace," she said, her voice laced with intense hatred.

Orion closed his eyes and pondered. He knew that having one more ally would benefit him, but could he trust her? He frowned. He didn't want to be stabbed in the back at the last moment, so he had to be sure her desire for revenge was genuine.

'Ah, I can do that.'

He looked at the table, picked up the pen, and wrote:

"What happened to Zeref's parents?"

As soon as he finished, a paragraph appeared before him.

Orion read the entire paragraph, his expression turning solemn as he reached the end. It mentioned that her mother was killed by four officials from the Archons when she refused to comply with their explicit demands.

"I am Orion Darkwood," Orion confirmed, adding, "But you should know my sister didn't kill Ray. For some reason, she was there when he died, and I want to know why. I can't contact her at the moment, but I should be able to when we're in the academy. Some of my friends will also be attending, so I'll have answers then."

Mark gritted his teeth, unsure what to believe. He trusted the page—it had never been wrong—and what it said about Ray's death was likely true. But he also knew Ray rarely used his talent because it was weak.

He was torn between what was right and wrong.

"We'll talk at my place," Orion said, seeing Mark's solemn expression. "I'm sure you want answers about the things you're curious about. I have some clues."

Mark nodded slightly, lost in thought. He wondered about Orion's goals. He likely wanted revenge, just like Zeref—but what about him? What did he want?

"Wait a minute," Zeref said, writing something on the page.

"Done. I've made your halowatch untraceable. No one can see our messages," she said.

Orion checked his halowatch but noticed no difference. 'Good,' he thought. If there was no visible change, no one would notice the subtle alteration.

"So, how do you plan to do it?" Zeref asked.

Orion considered for a moment. "Do you know where the Dollas Academy is located?"

"It should be in the same domain as the Archons," Zeref replied thoughtfully. "Actually, no one knows how to enter the Archons' domain from the three domains. I believe only a select few know.

But now that the Archons are willing to train humans from the three domains in preparation for the war against the three races, I doubt they'll care about privacy when the extinction of the entire race is at stake."
