Cursed Immortality



Today, the sky was covered in black rainy clouds as thunder rumbled, making the beasts in the magic beast forest restless.

At this moment, in a particular area of the inner magic beast forest, the ground suddenly started to shake. The booming sounds reverberated in the vicinity as if someone was trying to tear apart the earth.

"Bommm…"

A piece of ground blasted in the air with some trees, revealing an underground passage. Jacob walked out of this passage looking the same as usual.

"This door took three punches for me to break it. Not bad," Jacob muttered, looking at the broken, hidden doors of Lucas's hidden base.

In the end, he shook his head. He can't remain here any longer, and this place will likely become someone else's property or some magic beast will occupy it.

Anyway, he took anything worth taking, so he didn't care much about this place anymore, and he had already achieved what he wanted to by coming here.

'I managed to process all the plutonium two days prior to my estimate. Well, I hope the Dark Earl won't mind if I come to visit two days earlier.' Jacob thought before he moved, turning into a blur in the direction of the dark city.

This time, Jacob's journey was quite smooth as no one was there to obstruct his way, and he guessed those corpses probably spooked those annoying guys away.

'Tip… tip…'

Raindrops suddenly started to fall at this moment, and within a few seconds, they started to pour.

Although Jacob wasn't bothered by the rain, it still obstructed his hearing sense. But for him, this was just like a casual rain, so he continued making his way toward the dark city, which was now over ten miles away.

However, when Jacob was only two miles away from reaching the waterfall canyon, Jacob suddenly felt a strange unease for no reason.

With a deep frown, Jacob slowed down and focused on his surroundings, but except for that rain, everything was perfectly normal.

However, that strange, uneasy feeling got intensified the closer he got to the canyon and just won't go away.

"Cursed Immortality!" Jacob decided to summon Cursed Immortality instated of taking more risks.

He was saving this summons when he entered the Dark City's Noble Circle. However, he had never felt like this before, so he just wanted to confirm if this feeling was just a false alarm or if there was some sort of danger hidden near the dark city.

It was better to be careful than sorry.

However, just when he summoned Cursed Immortality, all the surrounding rain stopped, which made Jacob bewildered since it was simply too sudden, and when he looked up, his heart sank.

Because he saw the rain wasn't stopped, instated it was obstructed by invisible doom, and this doom was fifty-meter-high and probably five hundred meters wide. Not only that, but Jacob felt he was deaf as all sounds were cut off.

Almost instantly, Jacob's entire body trembled as he felt goosebumps rising, and the fine hair on his body stood in alarm.

However, without sound, Jacob's balance systems were greatly effective, which was clearly the scheme here, and the other party wanted to take full advantage of it as well.

But Jacob wasn't so easy to subdue either. Within that instant, his two swords appeared in his hand while he twisted his body to the right.

Just when Jacob started to twist his body, a red streak appeared right where his chest was a moment ago. However, Jacob was far from out of danger. He only managed to avoid the blow to his chest.

Because at that same time, Jacob felt something sharp with a force of at least over ten kilotons land over his shoulder, which should be supposed to be for his neck.

The windbreaker he was wearing had at least a basic-type-2 defensive capability, and he was wearing a shirt made with the same type of material, so that blade didn't manage to wound him.

However, after the second attack in succession, another came, which was headed toward his head!

But now he also got enough time to move his sword, and he used it as a shield to protect his head without hesitation.

'Bang…'

Although he managed to block that dark blue streak, Jacob instantly received a terrible impact on his head, which wasn't any lower than ten kilotons.

All happened in one second in slow motion, and the moment that second passed, 'Swish…'

Jacob's body blasted in the right direction crushing many trees in its path.

Jacob felt his head ringing, but he knew if he succumbed to this pain and didn't recover fast, he would be dead since this three-way attack was perfectly coordinated.

This time, his enemy was extremely sneaky that even he didn't see them coming, nor they gave him any chance to even look at Cursed Immortality which was hovering in front of him.

He simply summoned it too late!

His heart entered 10X acceleration at this moment, and Jacob regained his sense and maneuvered in the air to stabilize himself on the ground.

However, his enemy seemed to be even faster than him as he could now sense another deadly attack coming right behind his neck and another one from the air!

Without hesitation, the sword in his hand rotated backward, and he stabbed it to the back without even looking while his second sword rotated upward and he thrust it toward the air.

"Cling…"

Eerie sounds of metal clinging together rank almost instantly, and Jacob felt pressure behind those two attacks. Although they weren't equivalent to Epic rank, they were not far either.

But this action also exposed all of Jacob's body, and when Jacob sensed two more attacks were coming from right up ahead, he knew there were more than three attackers, and his eyes went deadly grim!

Using his superior physical strength, he slashed the sword, which was blocking the attacker in the air, down with the attacker itself.

Those two attackers' attacks were instantly disrupted by this action.

At this moment, Jacob finally got a glimpse of Immortika, who had written something, and his heart sank when he saw the very first line.

"There are five legendary descendants!"

Right at this moment, Jacob saw a sharp edge appear out of nowhere, and it was only an inch away from his left eye!
