Cursed Immortality

Chapter 456 Witch Palace (1)

”Congratulations on completing the requirement to be my successor!” Witch Queen Margretʼs projection stated impassively, ”I never expected anyone to overcome these trials. But if someone did appear, then this could only mean its fate, and we were meant to be fated.

”I made this recording while being persuaded by the three hegemonies because they wonʼt like Iʼm in possession of all the plain shares of Epic Plains. It would be quite ironic if my successor is affiliated with one of the three hegemonies. Heh, at least they couldʼve sent Uniques if they wanted to give me at least some challenge.

”Well, Iʼm not someone who holds a grudge against insignificant ants. So, Iʼve sold the shares to the three hegemonies for a special item. Now, Iʼm going to leave the Epic Plains since Iʼve gotten everything I wanted, and now itʼs time for me to take revenge.

”I donʼt know if Iʼll be alive when you, my successor, would appear or just how much time wouldʼve passed by. But if I died while taking revenge, I donʼt want my legacy and years of research to go to waste, so Iʼm leaving everything in this place.

”I hope youʼll inherit everything and even surpass me. I wonʼt ask for anything in return. I hope for us to meet one day if Iʼm alive and you want to meet or ever contact me; my Star ID is…! Farewell, my one and only student!” The projection vanished thereafter.

Jacob frowned since he just felt the hatred when Margret talked about revenge while at the same time sincere hope for whoever got her legacy. Furthermore, Margret clearly left the epic plains on her own. She wasnʼt killed.

Moreover, from her arrogant tone, it was quite clear she didnʼt dread Unique Ranks at all, and that was what made Jacob even more perplexed about just how strong Margret was and how in the world she was here and on whom she was seeking revenge.

ʼSo, all those stories are fake, or did the three hegemonies create them to hide the fact about Margret being so powerful they canʼt do anything to her? This entire thing is too strange. She clearly knew about Unique Rank, but it should be impossible for her to hear if she was from Unique Plains, just like those pirates.

ʼUnless she was like me…ʼ Jacobʼs heart raced just thinking about the possibility of another inheritor of the Universal Godly Scripture appearing.

If he considered someone the biggest threat in his path, it was definitely the other inheritors of the remaining eight Universal Godly Scriptures!

Although he didnʼt know what the other eight Universal Godly Scriptures could do, since Cursed Immortality can grant immortality, they should have their own insane, unique feathers as well.

Furthermore, Jacob was pretty sure if those Universal Godly Scriptures had inheritors, they would be as careful and discreet as him.

Now, Margret appeared to be too strange, and he wondered if she was like him, who could enter the plains while ignoring the rules.

”Do you think she has a Universal Godly Scripture?” Jacob could only turn to one thing that could know the exact answer to this question; Cursed Immortality.

”Hehehehe… who knows, she may have or may not. But if youʼre reaching this conclusion by simply suspecting the fact that she was a Unique Rank and was living in the Epic Plains, then youʼre thinking too much.

”What if she had a treasure that could help her suppress her real rank or other treasures like magic scrolls with unique rank magic store in them or unique rank armor? Or she has a way to regress her rank or was wounded by an enemy that her power had greatly affected.

”Only true Unique Ranks canʼt break past the plains restrictions, not former or almost Unique. And Iʼm even bothering to correct your mistake because youʼre thinking about Universal Godly Scriptures like they are mere books.

”If youʼre not careful enough, your location can be discovered because a Universal Godly Scripture is very sensitive towards someone who knows its existence, especially their names!

”If you speak their names, they can directly look at you! So, it will be my first and last warning to never casually speak about Universal Godly Scriptures again, at least not out loud. Or youʼll be calling calamity upon yourself. Well, itʼs not like Iʼm against it or anything…hahahaha!”

Jacobʼs heart palpitated when he read Immortikaʼs first serious writing. He never thought Universal Godly Scriptures had such power, and he knew his mistake. He jumped the gun too soon, and despite Immortikaʼs last remark, it was clear it was warning him for his own good.

ʼCuriosity kills the cat…ʼ Jacob thought as he stopped thinking about all sorts of conjectures. He was sure if he ever encountered a Universal Godly Scripture Inheritor, Immortika would be the first one to alert him despite its eccentric personality.

”Palace Master, you may command the Witch Palace now!” The static voice rang at this moment.

Jacob snapped out of his thoughts, ʼYes, who cares if she is a Universal Godly Scripture Inheritor or not? Iʼm not planning on meeting her or anything. I should focus on the rewards at hand.”

”I want to see all the things Witch Queen Margret left here, including her research on curse magic.” Jacob issued his first command.

The next moment, the entire room suddenly shakes faintly, and the next moment, the floor below the stone columns starts to shift, revealing the stairway. Jacob was surprised.

”Please follow this passage and enter the Western Wing of Witch Palace!”

Jacob frowned as he asked, ”Western Witch Palace? Where are we now, and how big is this place?”

”The Witch Palace is divided into Eastern, Western, Southern, Northern, and Central Wings. Southern Wing is where the Death Maze is built. The Western Wing is where both the treasury and library of the Witch Palace are.

”The Eastern Wing is where all the research facilities are located. The Northern Wing is the training hub of the Witch Palace. Lastly, the Central Wing is the Central Command Unit of the Witch Palace and also where the Palace Masterʼs living quarters are located.

”The entire witch palace is connected with a massive underground maze, and without my help and Palace Masterʼs permission, no one can escape alive!”
