Cursed Immortality

Chapter 869: The Cursed Necromancer King! (1)

Jacob fell silent when he heard what was in front of him. Although he confirmed that this dark pool in front of him was a curse and how beneficial it was for him, he canʼt be reckless since heʼll lift the curse if he dares to absorb it.

Even though Jacob didnʼt know who couldʼve cast such a terrifying curse, he had a pretty good idea about the ʼidiotʼ who, while trying to lift it, had made it even worse.

ʼSo, if I assumed that this curse was meant for the Cursed Necromancer King and then to lift it, that guy used a sacrifice ritual but ended up making it even worse, which should be the reason for this entire nationʼs fall.

ʼI never imagined the Whammy Poison could turn into something like this. It seemed I still underestimated the power of an Evil Poison Lord, not to mention this Evil Poison Lord even knew about this Voodoo branch of Curse of Temperance that even I was unaware of a few moments ago. ʼIf I summarized all of this, then the reason that Cursed Necromancer King captured Elia should be related to this curse as well. Could it be he still wanted to lift this curse, and Elia is the key?ʼ

The more Jacob thought about it, the more sure he became that this was the only explanation that fit this scenario, especially after he got the entire story from Autarch.

ʼI have to take back Elia and probably get rid of that Cursed Necromancer King before I absorb this curse. Even if the Cursed Necromancer King is unkillable, Iʼll lift the curse and be on my way. What he does afterward is not my headache...ʼ Jacob quickly made up his mind.

After glancing at the dark pool one last time, Jacob walked towards the door on the other side, which was invisible to the naked eye, but the Eyes of Judge quickly saw through it.

However, Jacobʼs footsteps halted because this ancient door seemed to be covered in countless runes, and they were extremely high-level, and with his current runic knowledge, he couldnʼt decipher them.

So, Jacob had no choice but to use the Illusionary Space Symbiont Skinʼs Small Teleportation ability, which was an escape ability that allowed him to teleport between one mile to a thousand miles away from his initial position, and it could only be used once every two hours. The more significant the teleportation difference, the higher the soul force will be used.

Moreover, small teleportation was only restricted under the blockade of a Mythical Rank being or treasures, which means no one can stop Jacob from leaving as long as he wants to unless they can bring out mythical rank space treasures.

At this moment, Jacob only wanted to go on the other, so he chose to use it for a one-mile teleportation distance. The next moment, Jacobʼs figure was wrapped!

The next moment, Jacob appeared in the middle of another large hallway that was going further down. He looked back and instantly saw the sealed door a mile away!

Still, he was a little surprised when he noticed the size of this hallway. Looking around, he noticed more sealed doors that were fairly distant from each other.

However, Jacobʼs target was Autarch, and he could sense Autarch from the other side of this hallway, not in those sealed doors. Still, he was curious about what could be hiding there, so he decided to explore it if he got rid of that Cursed Necromancer King. This place used to be a kingdom under a Legendary King, so they should have a vast amount of treasures.

Jacob moved forward, and after another five hundred meters, he finally reached the end and entered another massive underground hall. In the center of this hall was another dark pool. However, this pool wasnʼt even half the size of that cursed pool he saw under the well. But Jacobʼs heart raced because he instantly sensed terrifying death energy from that pool. It was as if the death law had taken a form, and the death law glyph became restless!

At this moment, Immortikaʼs voice rang, ”Thatʼs Law Essence of Death Law. Hehehe, what luck, there should be more than 10,000 drops in that pool. Who couldʼve thought youʼd find one of the materials for the third phase so soon?

”But the thing is that neither human nor ghost hidden in this pool of Death Law Essence will definitely not agree to share it with you. After all, the only reason that thing doesnʼt succumb to that curse is because of death law essence!”

Jacob was also shocked, as he had already gotten the information about those materials required in the third phase. He needed to collect the law essence of twelve elements, excluding infinity, and the death element was one of them.

But he wasnʼt expecting to encounter law essence in the legendary plains and so soon at that. It was even hidden so close to him. But he quickly became somber when he heard Immortikaʼs subtle warning about the ʼthingʼ hidden in this pool.

At this moment, realization dawned on him as he started channeling soul force in his Eyes of Judge, and the law essence that was obstructing his vision finally couldnʼt obstruct it anymore.

At this moment, Jacob finally saw a silhouette covered with crimson and black smoke at the bottom of this pool. There was no sign of life, but I knew it was definitely alive because of the faint white wisp of soul force hidden in this silhouette.

Furthermore, Jacob also saw a runic diagram etched at the bottom, which seemed to be powered by the law essence and channeling unknown black energy into it. Not only that, but Jacob noticed that dark crimson energy seemed to try eating away this runic diagram. This black energy was constantly fighting it, and they seemed to be in some stalemate.

ʼLetʼs secure those two first before I stir this hornet nest. This Cursed Necromancer King is simply hoarding too many good things alone...ʼ Jacobʼs eyes flickered with a hint of greed before he averted his eyes.

From the dormant soul fluctuations, he knew that the Cursed Necromancer King was in deep slumber and that it was best not to awaken him before he got Elia and Autarch back.

Jacob then sensed Autarchʼs presence again, which was now extremely close. Soon, his eyes landed on the wall on the other side, where two stone statues stood, and a dark shrine was in the middle. But under Jacobʼs eyes, it was nothing but an illusion.

A toothy, eerie smile appeared on his skull face, ʼFound them!ʼ
