Cursed Immortality

Chapter 997: Trapping a Killer! (1)

Constant Baron-0 and Jacob reached the shattered monuments where the web of sinister runes was etched into the black ground.

”What is this place?” Constant Baron-0 muttered as she closely looked at this strange place, and she could sense the faint malicious intent emitting from those runes.

Jacob also observed with his Eyes of Justice, ʼIt seems to be some old formation which is no longer operational, yet the runes still regained some of their residual prowess. Not only that, but something is hidden underneath these runes, as if someone had used them to hide their traces. Itʼs a trap!ʼ

”Is this the place?” Jacob impassively asked without revealing his discovery to Constant Baron-0.

”The coordinates given to me are leading here.” Constant Baron-0 replied with a hint of apprehension, she had also sensed something amiss.

At this moment, Jacob abruptly looked towards the false celestial dome, and four figures suddenly revealed themselves. Constant Baron-0 also belatedly sensed something, looked in the same direction, and spotted those four figures standing in the air.

”They are all tier-3 legendary kings, one of them is a Constant Baron!” Constant Baron-0ʼs voice suddenly rang in Jacobʼs head.

Jacob didnʼt seem surprised by the sound of her voice in his head because he knew this was another ability of Soul Sense called the Soul Transmission; he could use it as well.

”How can you tell thereʼs a Constant Baron among them? And the other three, are they Baron Assassins?” Jacob replied using the Soul Transmission as well.

Although he can also see through the newcomersʼ prowess, he canʼt differentiate between the Constants.

”Constants can sense each other as long as the other partyʼs rank doesnʼt exceed their own, and the same goes for Constant Assassins. Are you still in the mood to ask such trivial questions?? We are clearly outnumbered and have fallen into that bastardʼs trap!” Constant Baron-0 berated Jacob, and she was somewhat surprised by how calm Jacob appeared.

After all, even she wonʼt dare take on three Tier-3 Legendary Kings if she excludes the Constant. But this was clearly a trap, which makes the situation even more dangerous and uncertain.

Furthermore, she had the false impression that Jacob was only strong against the Constants.

At this moment, ”Salutations, weʼve been waiting for your arrival.” One of the mysterious figures spoke, his tone cold and threatening.

”And who might you all be?” Constant Baron-0 coldly spoke without showing her unease or any opening.

”Cut the crap! You summoned us here. Now give us what we want. Stop wasting our time!” Another one curtly demanded.

”That bastard is the Constant Baron! Heʼs deliberately doing it! He knew I canʼt reveal his identity, which would instantly allow him to take action against me!” Constant Baron-0 quickly told Jacob, as she had a terrible presumption at this moment.

ʼIt seemed that Constant Baron had misled those other three into coming here, and now he probably wants them to attack Constant Baron-0 because they think she has something they want. Furthermore, this entire trap is meticulously crafted by that Golden Constant-100,000, also the Star Lord. Just who is this guy…ʼ Jacobʼs eyes flickered coldly as he looked towards those four. ʼFurthermore, thereʼs still this trap hidden under these runes; they came prepared…ʼ

”Thereʼs a misunderstanding here! I donʼt know what you were all informed about, but whatever it is, I can assure you…”

Before she could finish her words, the mysterious Constant Baron cut her speech, ”Donʼt try to play with us. Are you going back on your words and wasting our time?!”

”YOU!” Constant Baron-0 was furious as she released her soul sense filled with killing intent. ”Do you guys really think you can take on a Legendary King of Space like me? Do you all think Iʼm that easy to bully?!”

Jacob was astounded by Constant Baron-0ʼs sudden outburst and the revelation that she was a ʼSpace Totemʼ Legendary King, the rarest of the legendary kings.

ʼWhat was her race again? And sheʼs probably bluffing to scare them away. After all, a legendary king with a space totem is difficult to deal with unless they can disrupt and lock the space to stop her using her law spells and ability.

ʼNo wonder sheʼs the Overlord of the Timeless City, a ʼ0ʼ among Constant Baron. But if this is a well-crafted trap by other constants, then I donʼt think they came unprepared.ʼ

Jacob glanced at Constant Baron-0ʼs small, cloaked figure before looking back at those mysterious figures without saying anything. He wanted to see what they would do, and from what he could tell, Constant Baron-0ʼs bluff seemed to be…working.

”You are a Legendary King of Space? Who are you? There is no such legendary king among the known legendary kings. Why havenʼt I heard of you in the Legendary Plains before?” This time, a new high-pitch voice sounded.

Despite their knowledge, they didnʼt dare to act just yet because they all knew many hidden powers were scattered in the legendary plains, and anyone with the law of space wasnʼt easy to handle.

Although they desperately needed ʼitʼ, they werenʼt fools, and they also started to doubt the information they had received…the information the ʼConstant Baronʼ had revealed to them…

”Itʼs none of your business who I am. What you need to know is that if today you offend me for no reason, Iʼll find every one of you and the people behind you and kill them all. Good luck trying to stop me with an Advanced Legendary King Space Treasure!” Constant Baron-0 became more menacing as she knew this wasnʼt the time to show weakness. Note from the editor: Always check for corrections.

”You dare to threaten us!? Do you think we dare not call your bluff?! Today, I want to experience how powerful a Space King can be!” The Constant Baron again retorted, firmly insisting on opposing her.

The other three legendary kings have already sensed something strange going on with their ʼpartnerʼ and wanted to question him. But before they could, Constant Baron vanished.

The Constant Baron appeared, but he was standing in front of Jacob instead of Constant Baron-0, and his hand was already shimmering with terrifying soul force as he attacked him without any intention of stopping.

This action caught everyone off guard, even Constant Baron-0. She never expected that Constant Baron would be so vile as to attack Jacob directly, since he could tell Jacob was neither a constant nor a constant assassin. He was really forcing everyone to act.

”Wait!”

”Stop!”

”Serpent King, what are you doing!?”

The other three were also alarmed…but alas, it was too late for…Constant Baron!
