Cursed Immortality

Chapter 107 Mutant Heart Essence!

The strange thing about this person was while he was moving, there wasnʼt any sound of breathing or his movement on the ground. His heartbeat was almost none exist!

ʼWhat a strange breed. First, he goes to the bank and then to Potion Town before he locked himself in the inn for two days. Now, he bought so much meat and exited the city. Just what the hell is he doing, and why did I even mission to follow this oddity?ʼ The stalker thought in vexation.

However, when they were just a few hundred meters away from the river, he saw Jacob suddenly start to dig between trees, and thereupon he noticed Jacob taking out two large bags from the ground!

His gray eyes dilated with a hint of astonishment, ʼSo, he has something to hide! Could it be that; heʼs one of those thieves who robbed some prominent clans and then escaped here with treasures?

ʼIt has to be the case, and the geezer just happened to notice it, and thatʼs why he told me to tail him and report if he has done anything suspicious.

ʼHowever, if he really has stolen wealth that can even incite that cynicism geezer, then I should consider my option more carefully. Iʼm not a wanted criminal like him. If I had wealth, I might be able to pay my way out of that mess. Which also means I can return from this shithole!ʼ His purple eyes shone with ambivalence.

He knew double-crossing his current boss would be hazardous, but he didnʼt want to stay here forever.

ʼFirst, Iʼll kill that guy and take his things, and if thereʼs really something worth risking my position in this shithole, then I should take that risk. But if I got nothing worth buying my freedom, then Iʼll take it back.

ʼBesides, that geezer canʼt tell if he was killed by me or some random beast or I can simply say he was leaving and I had no choice but take action.ʼ His purple eyes suddenly flashed with killing intent, ʼThat guy seemed weak. This should be easy. I just had to strike when he least expected it!ʼ

Jacob had no idea that he was being shadowed right now. and the other person had already decided to kill him for his treasures.

While healing four large bags, he still moved swiftly deep into the mountains.

ʼHow can he move so fast while carrying those large bags? He canʼt be an agility type, right?ʼ The stalker wondered, as he was now more careful of Jacob and didnʼt dare to underestimate him.

As they moved deeper and deeper into the mountains, the stalker became warier before a hint of shock surfaced in his eyes. ʼHe had stamina and agility? He canʼt be from the rarer region, right?ʼ

He suddenly has second thoughts about attacking Jacob now. Furthermore, he was extremely careful and sneaky, and he survived to this day because of his astute mind.

Although Jacob looked weak, he had shown agility and stamina, which only a top-tier species of the rare region can have. Or someone from the rarer region.

Although he was strong and can kill rare species with his sneaky abilities, even he dreads those peak races of the rare region and any species of the rarer region.

Jacob moved for an entire day before he found an empty cave beside a small pond. After scouting the area, he decided to remain here until he was done absorbing the heart essences.

Furthermore, he can also practice his water meditation. He was very close to two hours mark, and he hadnʼt practiced it ever since he left the lionheart city.

Just to make sure no one intruded or some strange animal or beast attacked him while he was absorbing the heart essence, he found a large boulder to cover the mouth of the cave.

After he was done blocking the entrance, he calmly sat bare chest. He took out the heart essence of the mutant!

He decided to absorb this essence first because according to Immortika, the chance of awakening an ability was much higher with this mutantʼs heart essence.

Secondly, he didnʼt want to cross the thirty percent limit without having his body completely acclimated to twenty percent. He didnʼt know he would even survive that kind of hunger or simply blow himself up by eating.

After taking a deep breath, he pierced his chest with a newly filled injection.

The moment the mutantʼs heart essence entered his heart, Jacobʼs entire body quivered before he felt like lave has entered his bloodstream. Black vines started to appear on his entire body, and he felt like he would explode at any moment.

This pain was far worse than he had felt before as his heart was beating like an engine, and his blood circulated at a crazy speed.

The vague dark mark inside his heart was now suddenly gleaming in red as it suddenly started to become apparent.

Jacob could feel something rising within him like a raging tide, and he was very close to losing his conciseness because of the sheer pain and temperature he was feeling.

”Donʼt lose consciousness. Youʼre awakening an ability. If you lose consciousness, youʼll regret it. hahahaha…”

An eerie voice reverberated in his head, which was none other than Immortikaʼs!

He can never forget that eerie, overlapping voice.

Although he didnʼt know how it could speak right now. He didnʼt have time to mull over it because he now had to do everything to stay awake.

He even bit his tongue to not fall unconscious while he had to endure the feeling of his heart being slowly ripped apart.

Outside,

The starker didnʼt have any idea Jacob was in his most vulnerable state as he looked at the closed save with complicated emotions.

He had long thrown the idea of attacking Jacob after he saw him lifting that over thousand KG boulder like it was nothing. He now felt extremely glad that he didnʼt attack Jacob or he might donʼt have a life to regret it right now.

Now, he understood why he was only given the mission to just tail him, but not act against him.

ʼWell, geezer, Iʼll report about treasure and his location. But I wonʼt tell you about his strength. If you two battle, youʼll probably destroy each other, and then I can easily reap huge benefits.ʼ His scheming eyes shone with coldness, ʼBut I have to make sure that geezer leaves his cave, or if he didnʼt come, it would be for nothing, and he might sense something and turn hostile to me.ʼ

With that in mind, he took out a small divide. If Jacob were here, he would instantly recognize this because it was a pager.

ʼFuck, there is no single in this shithole. I have to be close to the Dark City to use it. Well, since he put such a huge bolder around that cave. He wonʼt leave anytime soon, and it would be easier to draw the geezer out if I sound desperate and led him here!ʼ After taking another glimpse, he left quickly toward the dark city.

He was over eighty miles away and it would take him two days to come back with help if things go smoothly.

Inside the cave,

Jacob was groaning and whimpering on the ground as he was on the verge of going insane with that extreme pain running amok in his entire being.

His entire body was in the shade of deep red as his cutaneous veins could be seen clearly, while traces of black blood were on his orifices.

The dark mark inside his heart was now quite apparent, as it was covered in a dark sheen at this moment. It was the symbol of infinity (∞) as his infinity pendant.

Furthermore, the gap between this infinity symbol wasnʼt empty, but they were still quite hazy to see for the moment.

Suddenly, dark roots started to spread from this infinity symbol before they covered the entirety of Jacobʼs heart, making it pitch black.

Outside, Jacob suddenly felt like something just exploded in his heart, and all of a sudden it stopped beating!

No matter how strong will Jacob was, he canʼt stay awake while his heart got stopped suddenly, while he was mentally and physically tortured and exhausted.

His eyes rolled upward, and he fell to the ground without breathing.

Half an hour passed since Jacobʼs heart stopped, and he was virtually dead.

Suddenly, the darkness covering his heart started to disappear before only the vague infinity mark was left.

His heart suddenly trembled before it beat unexpectedly, and slowly it started to beat in a particular rhythm while a strange chill was released in Jacobʼs body. He started breathing again, but he was still unconscious.

At this time, a white book appeared from thin air as it hovered on top of Jacob.

Immortikaʼs eerie voice sounded at this moment, filled with delight. ”Hahahaha… I donʼt know if heʼs lucky to awake this ability or unlucky. At least I wonʼt be bored anytime soon… hahaha…”
