Cursed Immortality

"Cursed immortality!

"Tell me, what is this species and where is his position?"

Jacob quickly questioned while dodging the incoming spikes with difficulty. But he was spooked because he didn't know what kind of trick the other party had since now magic was involved.

"It's a Rare-Tier-5 Earth Goblin with 1-Star Initial-level Earth Element Affinity and Power! He's at your 7 o'clock hiding underground, ten meters deep. You have hit a jackpot if you could acquire its heart! Hahahaha…"

Jacob ignored the last line and pointed his rifle when Immortika pointed and pulled the trigger!

"How…" A panicked voice sounded when Jacob pointed his gun in the same direction, and before he could react, the bullet was already fired.

Jacob felt the entire titan sniper boiling, and without even thinking, he threw it away…

"Booommmm…."

With the gunshot sound, the sniper rifle also blasted apart, and Jacob was naturally within the blasting range as well, but he threw it before it was blasted so he only suffered with shockwave and some metal debris piercing his skin which wasn't a big deal.

But he also lost his balance and was sent flying and landed between trees.

However, Jacob didn't have time to lie down since his heart was already at the 3x stage of acceleration, and he still didn't know if that goblin was dead. But when he saw the ground stop shaking, and no more spikes came out, he sighed in relief but made sure he looked toward Immortika.

But he was shocked when he saw…

"Idiot, what are you looking for? Go and dig that goblin out. He had the material you needed for the last level of Cursed Heart Emergence. If you leave him underground for half an hour, you'll lose that material!"

Jacob was startled and didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly sprang into action before drinking a mouthful of titan tears. He quickly discovered the bullet hole in the ground and quickly dug along the bullet line.

Digging wasn't hard for him with his current prowess, so it didn't take long before he was ten-meter-deep into the group and suddenly dug into a small opening in the ground.

He saw a small figure laying there in its own blood and gore as the bullet blasted apart its entire right chest as well as he spotted a small beanpole in its mutilated right hand.

Jacob didn't have time before he took a heart box and started filling it with its blood, and he thanked his luck that the heart was intact, so he quickly placed the heart in the box as well.

Only then, "Now, what is this material you spoke of?" he questioned impatiently.

There were three more bodies he required to collect hearts and blood from, laying outside, and if he was late, the blood might run out or go bad, so he was in a hurry.

"Relax, just this heart is enough to let you complete the 100% cursed mark, so you need no more hearts. Just eat them all to quench your hunger. As for the material I'm talking about, just open its stomach, and you'll know what I'm talking about."

Jacob was ecstatic when he heard he didn't need to collect those damn hearts anymore, so he was more relaxed, but he was still under 3X acceleration, so he needed to calm himself down.

Afterward, Jacob cut open the earth goblin, who looks just like a typical gibing with a sharp long nose, long ears, and long teeth. The difference was there was a green mark between his eyebrows.

The moment he opened the goblin's stomach, Jacob was shocked because something was glowing in the greenish light, and he instantly understood what he was looking for.

Without caring about the mess, he took out the glowing thing from Earth Goblin's stomach. It was connected with a strange green membrane, but the moment Jacob touched it the membrane burst like a bubble, and a two-inches shining green stone appeared in Jacob's bloody hand.

"What is this?" Jacob was astonished as he looked at the shining stone, which was smooth and warm to the touch.

"Hehehe, it's a 1-Star Initial Earth Element Core, or you can call it a magic core. Once you complete the cursed mark, I'll give a proper explanation of Magic and what this core is used for. Just store it in the infinity pendant for now, or it'll evaporate in the air in a few minutes, and you have no place to cry."

'A magic core?' Jacob was shocked and didn't dare to be careless with this thing and store it away.

Afterward, Jacob collected the small staff, which was probably a magic wand in his eyes, and stored it away as well. He was going to check it later. He then picked up the goblin's body, which was his nutrition, and headed toward the other three to pick up their bodies and equipment as well.

When he reached where A-9999 had died, he looked at Harrison, who was probably choked to death in that red liquid and didn't care about him, and picked up A-9999's headless body as well.

He quickly collected the other two bodies and stored small pieces of equipment in his pendant.

From Immortika, he found that the other two deceased were a 'Rare-Tier-2 Orc and a Rare-Tier-4 Troll.'

Jacob then left the area, leaving behind the mess for others. He was going back to his man cave to start the distillation and grilling process as soon as possible.

After encountering a magic user, he knew just how dangerous they were, and even with his powerful body, it wasn't certain that he could win against them. If not for the newly built titan iron, he would have never been able to kill all four of them.

Especially the Earth Goblin who only died because of Immortika's help, and without it, Jacob would be forced to flee.

Since it's going to be his last injection, Jacob put all three bodies of 'nutrition' on three skewers and finally has the time to deal with the 3X acceleration.

He had already lost the little bit of meat he had put on the other day and returned to being skinny again. He drank another mouthful of titian tears before he closed his eyes and starts meditating to calm his heart rate.

After half an hour, Jacob finally managed to make his heart rate calm and break the meditation. He looked at bonny limbs and smiled wryly. 'I still have a long way to go before I will be able to exit 3X acceleration without going into a mediation state. The energy consumption is just too great.'

After lamenting about his ability, Jacob finally looked at the small pile of equipment he collected from those four and moved toward them.

There was only two intact full-body armor, one was from the troll while one was a female armor from A-9999. These armors were made with special materials and were much stronger than anything Jacob had seen in this place.

But his friction-killer bullet still pierced these armors, the armors worn by Earth Goblin and Orc were proof of it.

Nevertheless, these armors were still better than what Jacob currently had, and he could wear the troll's armor under his long jacket.

Then there were two more of the red liquid explosives he got from A-9999, and there was also a device that was some kind of scanner and radar.

She was also caring a pair of silver guns, which were clearly far more advanced than common plains guns.

Then there was a dark green energy shield belt which was much stronger than Jacob's.

The troll and orc were carrying cold weapons, a long sword, two battle axes, and two automatic guns. Everything was high quality.

Jacob also found some explosives and flash grenades. He also got two more scanners that had the same functions as the one A-9999 was carrying.

But when he fiddles with those two scanners, he found a virtual map of the uncommon region, there were two marked places on them.

'Could it be their hideouts? Where they stored their other equipment as well as the research data from mutants? It's quite possible since they weren't carrying any large firearms, and they were only here to capture me.

'If they had come prepared and wanted to just kill me, I don't think they didn't have sniper rifles in their place. Or these could be just their labs. Nevertheless, I should check them. I might find something useful,' Jacob mused as he stowed away the scanners.

Even without this map, just their other functions made them priceless in Jacob's eyes.

Strangely, there were four palm size white cubes which Jacob discovered within everyone's pocket, and by the looks of it, they were a set.

But he didn't dare to fiddle with them since he didn't know what these cubes were for and stored them away until he found out.

Lastly, there were four Star Watches he got from each person, and all of them seemed quite high quality. At least compared to the one he has!
