Cursed Immortality

Chapter 279 The Walking Disaster (3)

(Present)

Nighttime, under the starry sky, between the canyon, around a massive waterfall.

The fifty-cubic meter, glistering black block, which was the entrance of the Dark City, revealed an opening on its one side, and a tall hooded figure clad in black walked out.

Jacob saw the night sky filled with stars, and down below was the raging water stream from the massive waterfall.

”Goodbye, Sir Faceless Ancient. The Dark City hopes your stay here was pleasant, and Dark City will always welcome you anytime!” Dark Roseʼs electric voice rang at this moment.

”Glad to hear that.” Jacob impassively commented with a chuck before he glanced back at the closing door, and an icy smile appeared on his face.

Without wasting more time, he walked to the edge of the platform, and without hesitation, he dived into the water stream.

Just five minutes passed after Jacob exited the dark city. The small opening appeared again, and this time, there were many figures appearing one after another.

Some of them used their star watches before they also dived, and this kind of scene was being played for almost an hour as today many people were leaving the dark city, which hadnʼt happened for a long time.

At this moment, Jacob was calmly running into the dense magic beast forest, slowly making his way toward the inner region. But his speed was only average as he ran between trees.

ʼJust how many people are after my life? Donʼt tell me the entire mercenary agency was put on the task to kill me? Or are there more hidden enemies that I was unaware of? Well, let them come then. Iʼll get rid of them in one fell swoop.ʼ Jacob thought maliciously.

Although it looked like he wasnʼt paying attention and was going on his merry way, in truth, Jacob was on full-time high alert. From the moment he exited the canyon, he knew he was being watched.

After he entered the forest, those guys who were lying waiting in the forest started following him, and slowly but surely, their numbers started to climb as time went by.

Jacob guessed that those guys who were present in the beast forest before he left the dark city were only scouts, and the true force was the guys joining them, and they most likely came from the dark city.

But Jacob was still quite astounded when he found that the numbers of his pursuers kept increasing, and not only that, but it was more than one group.

He didnʼt know if those guys were together or knew about each other existence, but he was pretty sure that they all had one common goal, him!

If he wanted, he could start acting right away, but he didnʼt do so because he wanted to see just how many guys were after him and get rid of them all at once.

Although this action of his was dangerous and filled with uncertainties, Jacob was quite confident in preserving his life unless there were epic beings present among those guys or they had type-2 treasures, which was nigh impossible in his knowledge!

Even if, by some bad luck, any of those possible scenarios came true, Jacob wasnʼt like twenty months ago. He was as ready as he could get to start the voyage to the epic plains.

The Rare Plains were now just like a backyard to him, which he could leave on a whim nobody could stop him.

Jacob then thought of something as he thought, ʼCursed Immortality!ʼ

Cursed Immortality instantly appeared, hovering in front of him as the pages started to turn and he read words written by Immortika.

”You finally decided to summon me after two years. I was getting bored out of my mind!” Those words were filled with resentment.

But Jacob wasnʼt the one to fall for them, ”If youʼre doing wailing, then help me find if there is anyone here with a heart worth of Cursed Blood Condensing.”

Jacob knew it was almost impossible to find another wyvern-like existence in this place again, but this didnʼt mean he wonʼt find someone with a faint trace of some legendary bloodline.

According to Immortika, as long as he eats the heart of someone with legendary potential, his Cursed Blood Condensing would increase. And the bloodline plays the biggest part in having a potential of legendary rank.

But it wasnʼt important to have a true legendary bloodline. Thatʼs where descendants came into the picture. Even if someone had a faint trace of their legendary bloodline, they would be considered a descendant of a legendary being.

Even if there was a 000.1% bloodline present in that person, Jacob was willing to take their hearts since it was better than nothing. The chances of that blood density getting higher would be increased when he starts his hunt in the epic plains.

Right now, he had hundreds of chicks following him, and he could slaughter them as he wished, so he didnʼt want to waste any potential heart. Thatʼs why he summoned Cursed Immortality to identify those hearts.

Even if the result turned out to be disappointing, he was also hoping to use it for scouting. But of course, he wonʼt admit that out loud.

”Hehehe… do you think legendary rankʼs descendants would play house in a place like…” Immortika suddenly stopped writing, which was quite a surprise to Jacob as it never had happened before.

Which made his heart palpitate, ”Do you found something?” He asked in disbelief as he instantly became vigilant of his surroundings. He can ignore anything but cursed immortality.

”Hahahaha…” The very next moment, Immortikaʼs maniacal laughter filled the page, which only made Jacob more uneasy.

”Just out with it!” He sternly declared.

”You really have Devilʼs Luck! There are two hidden existences within your pursuers who matched the requirement for Cursed Blood Condensing. Although they are not direct descendants, but they are only far from six generations!”

Jacobʼs eyes shimmered intensely as he felt more at ease since it wasnʼt some danger, ”Itʼs quite rare that Iʼm glad that I summoned you. So, where are they!?”
