Cursed Immortality



At nighttime, Jacob had been at Water Mediation for three hours, and he was quickly approaching the fourth hour.

Not only was he completely fine under 30-G force he wasn't feeling any urge to breathe. On the contrary, when the oxygen starts to enter his body and pours on its own like it usually does, the suffocation of holding his breath no longer irritates him.

Especially when the third hour started, the oxygen's absorption was getting stronger. With his Epic body, Jacob could feel it as clear as day that something was stirring inside him as he performed the Water Mediation.

Furthermore, the water stream no longer even budged him as he was completely attached to the river bed now.

Just like that, 4th-hour passed, and then the 5th, and finally it was the 6th hour, and now Jacob was under 60-G force, and the water was now started to swirl around him as the oxygen absorption was now as clear as day, and even faint cold steam was starting to rose from the river stream.

Now Jacob was finally starting to feel a bit under pressure, but it wasn't at that point where he felt like crushing. As for breathing, while the oxygen absorption increased, he felt like he didn't need to breathe at all, and it was a strange yet wonderful feeling.

At some point, Jacob even forgot about where he was sitting as he got completely engrossed in the Water Meditation like a Monk.

However, in the sky where he was sitting, ten figures were standing over discs, and all of them wore white robes with black hourglass symbols on their chests while their bodies were wrapped in black gauze. They were naturally the 10 Iron Puppet Assassins!

Right at this moment, the ten Iron Puppet Assassins turned their head in the same direction, and the very next moment thereafter, another disc rider stopped a meter away from them.

It wore bronze color robes with the same black hourglass symbol on its chest while its body was also wrapped in black gauze. It was the Bronze Puppet Assassin!

They all seemed to be waiting upon it.

Then a strange scene occurred. The ten Iron Puppet Assassins keep staring at the Bronze Puppet Assassin while the latter is the same. This strange staring contest lasted for about three minutes before they looked down in unison.

Right now, in the middle of the river stream was revolving a small swirl while cold steam was rising from the moving river surface.

The Bronze Puppet Assassin then moved its head and looked at certain Iron Puppet Assassins. That Iron Puppet Assassin then suddenly moved his hand, and suddenly he tore off a small fabric of his sleeve. It was extremely tiny, almost none noticeable.

But the moment that small piece of fabric got torn off by its sleeve, it suddenly trembled before its size and shape started to contort, and the next moment, instead of a tiny piece of fabric, it was holding a dark blue scroll.

Without hesitation, it instantly opened the dark blue scroll, and it started shimmering in dark light before all of a sudden turning into ashes. Thereby, a dark blue streak suddenly emerged right where the scroll had been incinerated, and it directly headed toward the swirl down like a lightning bolt.

All the Puppet Assassins looked down, following the streak direction.

However, something strange happened the very moment that streak came in touch with the water swirl. It turned into dark blue particles and then vanished without a trace while the swirl remained the same.

The Bronze Puppet Assassin's head remained in the same position for a while before it looked up and focused on another Iron Puppet Assassin.

The Iron Puppet Assassin, like the last one, moved, and he also tore off a small fabric from its sleeve, and it turned into a scroll, but this time its color was gray, and it looked worn off a bit.

It opened the gray scroll, and the next moment, the scroll turned into fine gray ashes before a glowing object surfaced in its place.

It was a glowing gray sniper rifle that was three meters in size, and it looked like it was made with lines of gray neon light.

Without wasting a second, the Iron Puppet Assassin moved to grab the light sniper rifle and instantly pointed it in the swirl direction and pressed the light trigger. It happened in one second.

The next moment, a gray light released from the light muzzle and headed toward the swirl. But no sound was generated, and the light sniper started to vanish from the Iron Puppet Assassin's hands.

But no one was paying attention to it as they all looked in the swirl direction where the bullet was heading.

However, like the previous dark blue streak, the moment that gray light bullet touched the swirl, it also turned into light partials and vanished!

Not one knows what kind of reactions those eleven Puppet Assassins were having right now, but they all kept their head in the swirl direction for a long while, and that swirl suddenly became more vigorous.

The Bronze Puppet Assassin then looked up again, and this time, he glanced at three Iron Puppet Assassins.

Those three didn't delay as they tore off two fabrics from their sleeves, and they all turned into a scroll and a weapon.

The next moment, the gray discs under their feet shimmered in ghastly gray light as they all dived toward the swirl while they activated their magic scrolls, and a thick barrier formed around them while they also achieved the stealth function of their discs.

While one of the standing Iron Puppet Assassins also took out another magic scroll, but this was filled with magic runes.

The moment the scroll was opened, it instantly headed into the sky, and an invisible doom-like barrier started to fall off in a hundred-meter radius like an invisible curtain. While they all quickly took out their weapons and more scrolls.

However, the Bronze Puppet Assassin remained the same from start to finish, and now that the attack had finally begun, the bronze color disc under his feet shimmered in black color before the Assassin vanished without a trace!
