Cursed Immortality

Chapter 515 Final Condition

Jacobʼs heart raced on its own for the first time in many years after he heard about the lifespan part. This concept was completely mythical and straight out of stories and even sounded like a scam. But if it was true…

ʼDidnʼt this mean as long as this thing continues to devour others, my lifespan would never run out?ʼ Jacob thought as he was really tempted now.

But he didnʼt let the momentary greed cloud his judgment. Because as good as it sounds, it was still risky to let something unknown into his mind and create this Dreamscape Nightmare Realm.

At least not until he confirmed it is absolutely safe.

So, controlling his emotions, he asked, ”Sorry, but I canʼt agree to this yet. What is the second way?”

”Oh, come on, you still doubt me?” Nyxʼs sounded perplexed, ”Youʼre overly cautious, my master. Sometimes, you have to take a leap of faith.”

”I know, but you should understand it is too risky, and Iʼm pretty sure you wonʼt let something unknown enter your mind, right? I canʼt just take your word for it. Iʼve known you for what, five minutes?” Jacob sneered as he found Nyxʼs protest incredibly ridiculous.

He already had the cursed immortality, so being overly greedy would be a fatal flaw.

”Hmph, up to you. The second way depends on you. It should probably have the same effect if you can isolate me from this space. But it all comes down to whether you have a way to achieve the impossible.

”Because if you canʼt, then you have to wait until Iʼm born, and Iʼm pretty sure once Iʼm out, the restriction on me might become powerful, and then you donʼt even have to lift a finger, for Iʼll die for attacking you. So, decided quickly, Iʼm getting closer to it!” Nyx told anxiously.

Jacob fell into silence and frowned, ʼIsolate it from this space? Will Infinity Pendant work? Or should I try to store this in the solar plexus like Autarch? But do I even know how? This thing is very different from Autarch, but I definitely canʼt get it into my mind without being certain. Letʼs try first.ʼ

”Alright, I have a storage space that can keep you, but Iʼm not sure if it works or not. Or if you have a way to enter my solar plexus, this might work as well.” Jacob proposed his plan.

If this doesnʼt work, he would have no choice but to find the exit from this trial and then ask Immortika and come back for Nyx. This was the only way he could think of to take Nyx away.

”What is solar plexus?” Nyx asked curiously, as its knowledge about the living was quite limited. She was relying on her inherited memories and intellect to devise this plan.

Jacob then shared his limited knowledge about the solar plexus. He also wasnʼt sure if it was feasible.

”Interesting. So, you think I can enter this space within you because Iʼm now contracted to you?” Nyx asked with a hint of uncertainty.

Jacob nodded, ”This is how it should work, at least. Letʼs try to put you in the storage space first. I need you to put out those flames first. If thatʼs not work, Iʼll try this method.”

”Youʼre not going to attack me, are you?” Nyx asked suspiciously. She clearly understands Jacobʼs character now; this guy was too ruthless and cynical.

Jacob replied impassively, ”As long as you wonʼt give me a reason to.”

”I guess one of us has to be trustful,” Nyx said before the nightmare flames around started to vanish, and what was left was a pristine dark egg.

Jacob then moved forward with anticipation in his eyes. Truth be told, he wanted this to work because storing Nyx in his body was still too dangerous. At least the infinity pendant was a place where Cursed Immortality was, so it was much safer.

Jacob hesitated for a moment as he could feel strange warmth from the egg as he got closer to it and finally touched it.

The moment his skin touched the eggʼs icy surface, he instantly tried to send it into the infinity pendant, and the next moment, it vanished!

Jacob became anxious as he looked around in the cold space, ready to throw the egg out if something happened.

But to his relief, nothing happened, and the egg was now lying in his pendant.

The column suddenly started to shake as cracks began to appear, and the isolated space started to crack.

”I feel my connection to that strange power completely gone. I think it worked!” Nyxʼs delightful voice sounded in his head again.

Jacob was pleasantly surprised, but what was happening to the surrounding space?

ʼCould it be that this place loses its purpose now that the Nyx is gone?ʼ Jacob thought with scrutiny. But he still wasnʼt clear, at least not until something confirmed it.

At this moment, the voice that Jacob was desperately waiting for finally rang.

”Congratulations, Faceless Ancient, for clearing the Final Trial Condition!”

His eyes shimmered in excitement, ʼIt really worked!ʼ

He quickly looked at the star watch,

”Congratulations on Subduing the Beast of Necropolis: Unknown Nightmare!

”Your glorious deeds have been spread far and wide!

”You have achieved something impossible!

”You have been rewarded with full Hunterʼs Legacy!

”Hunterʼs Legacy (Unique Rank): Night Hunterʼs Aura & Spirit (Universal Scripture)”

Jacob was astounded when he saw this notification, ʼSo subduing was an option from the start, but was it impossible to achieve? Cutting the connection with the trial plains resulted in subjugation, and maybe thatʼs why it was impossible to achieve. After all, no brainwash being would be like Nyx.ʼ

At this moment, a black vortex appeared in front of Jacob, and he knew it was time to reap his rewards and entered without hesitation.

Outside the trial plains, Nelsen was sitting in his luminous room chatting happily with Ellie, who had a clear, annoyed expression as she was tired of his bragging.

Suddenly, Nelsen eyes flashed with surprise when his star watch vibrated, and before he could check, a black vortex appeared behind him, making Ellie jump in fright.

Nelsenʼs eyes widened when he looked back, but he didnʼt seem alarmed at all; instead, his eyes shone with killing intent.

”He really cleared it in neck-breaking time. I guess itʼs time to meet the troublemaker!”
