Cursed Immortality

In front of Jacob, a huge glob of blood was swirling, and the corpses of the fox and the wolf were now like dry trees, completely unrecognizable. Blood suction was another ability he had created with blood manipulation.

Looking at the glob was blood swirling in the water, Jacob could feel the rich blood vitality within.

He mused, 'Although I never tried to absorb blood vitality before, since Immortika told me it's possible with the cursed heart, I shouldn't be any problem. The thing is, how should I inject it? Should I drink it directly or try absorbing it by using blood manipulation? Let's try using the blood manipulation since it would be more convenient if I succeeded.'

The next moment, Jacob manipulated the blood glob, and blood threads started to shoot out from it and drilled into his chest, directly towards the cursed heart.

Thereafter, Jacob suddenly felt his dormant cursed heart become active the moment the blood entered his body. The next moment, without doing anything, the cursed heart pulsed as the blood started to course through his heart.

The blood absorption speed also increased as the glob of blood started to shrink at a terrifying speed, and at this moment, Jacob finally felt the cursed heart release a drop of blood into his body.

But he was flabbergasted because around 3% of the blood glob was gone, and the cursed heart only created a single drop of cursed blood. As the glob vanished within a few seconds, Jacob's expression was dark because he only got around 90 drops of cursed blood before the cursed heart became static again.

'This was the blood of beyond unique magic beasts, yet I only got this much blood!! It's far from enough even to create a single runic line. I need at least five times greater than this amount. I really shot myself on foot this time around…' Jacob sighed ruefully as he finally understood just how difficult the Cursed Bone Marrow Amalgamation was going to be.

After lamenting at this fate, his eyes flashed with killing intent, 'I better get started then, and the ocean races just happen to be overly populated. They also didn't know about me, and neither would they think a land dweller would dare to start something like this. Furthermore, the more powerful species I hunt, the more powerful blood vitality I will get. I guess the same rules apply with the descendants of the legendary rank…'

Jacob then collected his arrays, and using the water lightning whale, he told Autarch to lead him towards a remote city in the sturgeon region.

With Autarch's knowledge, he quickly led him toward his destination, a small city with glowing buildings and a population of around 100,000.

"Go, and turn the most powerful people here into his puppets, and then we'll start the harvest!" Jacob coldly ordered while sitting on the water lightning whale as he coldly looked towards the peaceful city.

The next moment, from Jacob's chest, Autarch appeared and turned into a dark streak before vanishing in the center area of the city.

Jacob knew this was going to take a little while, so he again paid attention to his bone hand and forearm.

'Although this arm might turn into a skeleton, I can still feel everything perfectly. Not only that, but I can also tell this arm is far stronger than the rest of my body. Besides this transformation, these runic lines also made my body stronger. I wonder if the complete transformation will bring me to quasi-legend rank or even the fable legendary state…' Jacob's lips rose slightly as he started to accept his new appearance.

After half an hour, Jacob suddenly noticed that armored sturgeon guards had suddenly appeared from the center of the city, followed by a sturgeon in black full-body armor with a 'Whale' symbol engraved on his armor.

The people of the city present were surprised when they saw the city guards, and even the lord of the city appeared like they were going to start a war, and they wondered if the city was going to be under attack.

"I'm ready!" Autarch's stoic voice rang in Jacob's head at this moment.

Jacob's eyes went cold as he ordered, "Start the killing; spare no one. I'll take care of anyone who escapes this place!"

The next moment, the city lord in full body armor issued a loud roar, and over 900 city guards suddenly rushed toward the innocent citizen with killing intent; the massacre began!

Jacob emotionlessly watched the scene of carnage as the city turned into a battlefield, and those who were being massacred had no idea what was happening. Some fought back, some wailed and questioned why the city guards and city lord were doing it, and some quickly tried to escape.

However, Autarch, with his puppet magic, had already turned the most powerful force in this city into his puppets, and escaping them was a pipe dream.

But there were still over 100,000 people present in the city, so there were bound to be some who escaped the encirclement, especially since the sturgeons were all born rare, and when they reached adulthood, they became epic. So, they know how to use magic.

However, those who were lucky enough to escape the city met with Jacob and died horribly.

The water started to turn crimson as the killing continued, and powerful magic ripples spread.

'Blood Suction!' Jacob didn't let the blood dilute, so he quickly used blood manipulation to separate the blood from the water and gathered it in front of him.

Jacob didn't know the full range of blood manipulation, but he knew that if there were blood, the blood manipulation would work on it.

Just as he used his ability, his cursed heart raced, and the blood in the water started to gather in front of him. This created a scene of horror as the blood from the city rose, gathering into a glob of blood. It was as if a crimson sun had descended!

Furthermore, Jacob noticed that as he used the blood manipulation, he could sense the blood in the living beings below him. This was like another ability that provided him with a sense that no one with even an ounce of blood could escape from.

As the city was being massacred by Autarch, Jacob was gathering blood, and after the blood glob became over five hundred meters large, Jacob started to absorb it.

But at this moment, Jacob suddenly discovered that now that he was using two blood manipulation abilities together, his hex mana suddenly activated. Not only that but when his hex mana appeared, his blood manipulation suddenly became stronger!

'T-this!' Jacob was shocked and slightly overwhelmed by this discovery and by all the blood being greedily absorbed by the cursed heart.

The blood suction became so strong that not just the blood in the water but also from the corpses began to be sucked in, turning those corpses into dry leaves. Those who were still alive to witness this scene were absolutely horrified, but they didn't get to live to tell the tale!

This was the beginning of a horrible nightmare, a legend of the deep ocean that will soon be known by the ocean races as the 'Blood Carnage Calamity'!
