Cursed Immortality

Chapter 716: Hunters or Preys? (4)

The flying ship descended at the grand entrance of the barren entrance of the churchʼs mountain, and the people inside disembarked the ship with solemn expressions.

”So, heʼs here?” Sylas asked with a heavy expression as he looked at the church on top of the mountain. He knew things were no longer as simple as he had thought. The temple was really going to take a hit after this blunder.

”Yes, and that hateful thief is coming our way!” Queen Ice Fiend Locust nodded in

affirmative. The locustʼs eye shimmered with hatred, and it started to emit dense killing intent. She was almost at her boiling point.

”Her Majesty is right. I can see him walking down the mountain path. But itʼs quite strange. His silhouette is like fog, so I canʼt see through him or measure his strength. I think he also had a powerful protective treasure, so spiritual attacks might not work on him. Just who is this person? Heʼs giving me very terrible vibes!” Samara, who was using her spirit eye, solemnly stated.

”Hah, who needs a sneaky spirit attack? Iʼll just crush him with my fists. Since heʼs arrogant enough to come out on his own, it seems heʼs very confident in taking us on. Heʼs clearly underestimating us just because we are in the conflict plains!” Vermont disdainfully stated. He took a step forward, and violet lightning began to cackle all over his body, ready to subdue the other party with his tremendous strength.

Samara glanced at Sylas when she noticed he didnʼt stop Vermont this time and asked, knowing what he was thinking, ”So we are directly going to confront him without any talking?”

While listening to their conversation, Diminutive looked towards the empty mountain road as an ethereal glow shimmered in the depth of his eyes. ʼI canʼt sense force on this person, nor can I see through his power or any sign of injuries. It seemed he really did have a treasure that blocks all the probing.

ʼIf he had also started to comprehend the totem, like me, then wounded or not, these guys wouldnʼt be his match if he knew how to use the legendary energy. But itʼs still not completely clear; Iʼll let these cannon folds fight him to see for myself.

ʼIf he has really awakened the legendary energy, I can use this guy in the path of legend. But first, I need to make sure he is in a situation where he has no choice but to accept my help. Only then can I control him.

”This idiot insect is perfect for it. No matter how powerful he is, and even if he has legendary energy, there is a limit to that energy, and if he excessively uses it, heʼll fall into danger even more quickly. After all, heʼs but a lone Quasi Legend with millions of insects in unique rank. Even I donʼt dare to go against them alone.

ʼNow, I just need to make sure to appease the Locust Queen at the right time. Iʼm sure heʼll prefer coming to my side instead of getting captured by an insect who wanted to torment him...ʼ Diminutiveʼs lips rose slightly under his cloak in a shrewd smile, as if everything was under his control as he watched others.

”Heʼs dangerous, and he might also have other means to flee since heʼs coming out on his own. So, just to be safe, letʼs try to subdue him first before interrogating him.” Sylas coldly stated, clearly not intending to talk amiably with this cruel bastard who had caused huge trouble for the temple.

Samara sighed, deciding not to push any further. If the same had happened with the witch race, she wouldʼve made the same choice as Sylas. After all, even an idiot could guess what had happened here after seeing the once lively holy mountain range in a desolated state.

ʼWhoever this thief is, he is a one cruel and merciless bastard! Could it be heʼs a Dark Being?ʼ Necro thought as his eyes burned with anticipation.

If his speculation were true, then this would change everything. After all, he was willing to follow a Dark Being that could inflict fear into these high and mighty treaty members, and he no longer needed to play obediently or act like their dog!

At this moment, while everyone had their own thoughts, calm footsteps rang, and a giant figure wearing a long black windbreaker, his head covered under a hood, appeared in everyoneʼs vision.

”Heʼs only this tall? And here you guys are making him some kind of monster.” Vermont spat in disdain when he saw the giantʼs height was half of his, and as a common sense about giants, the taller you are, the more powerful youʼll be.

Vermont, as a Quasi Legend, knows better than anyone that a Quasi Legend Giant can grow up to 40 meters, and only those unique ranked giants have a height of around 20 meters. Even if this guy was using some kind of treasure or was wounded, it shouldnʼt have affected his height if he was really a giant. While the other races with tall height canʼt grow to this size, especially those races like whales, their hominoid form wouldnʼt match giants since it was a racial trait that only giants possess.

Even Diminutive and others started to wonder if their judgment was truly wrong and if this guy was just some lucky individual who had some sort of powerful treasure that helped him achieve all these feats.

However, when Vermont saw that the hooded giant was still walking nonchalantly towards them and treating them like winds, his expression went deadly cold since he felt as if this guy was looking down on him despite his ʼlittle sizeʼ and didnʼt know life from death.

The next moment, Vermont no longer waited and turned into a violet lightning bolt. It shot toward Jacob, leaving behind a trail of lightning, and only a second later, a powerful shockwave rang in the vicinity.

Even the Queen Ice Fiend Locust was still controlling herself, yet Vermont was even more impatient than her. After all, he had been suppressing his displeasure for giving in to Queen Ice Fiend Locustʼs demands, and now this ʼhotshotʼ turned out to be nothing but a giant

disappointment.

Furthermore, since Sylas didnʼt speak until now, he knew he was free to do as he pleased, and in fact, he was even glad that this guy pissed the old man.

The next second, Vermont was right in front of Jacob while sticking out a powerful punch surrounding with lightning, aiming at his hidden face with a cruel smile on his face.

Since he was using a soul puppet, he knew this guy wouldnʼt die even if he used the full capacity of this soul puppet. Nonetheless, his face will be disfigured, and heʼll lose consciousness or might even turn into a vegetable with the impact and lightning.

However, what happened next made everyone snap out of their thoughts, and all their doubts about Jacob instantly vanished into smoke.

”Boom!”

A huge impact occurred; however, this impact wasnʼt because of Vermontʼs punch connected with Jacobʼs face, but from a powerful slap that was even faster than Vermontʼs lightning and came out of nowhere.

Just as Vermont thought his punch was going to connect, he saw only a streak. The next moment, he felt a mountain suddenly smack on his face before everything went dark. Because what happened next was his head exploded like a watermelon!
