Chapter 524 Scheming against Captain Free Sword

"So to speak, the Killer Skull Society is either working for the Dark Beings or they are exploring the Dark Alchemy, right?" Ace stated as he finally had the insights about the Life Crystals. 

"Who knows? And truthfully, who cares? I know you don't. Unless you have a change of heart and want to be a hero among the living? Hehehe…" Immortika wrote. 

Jacob scoffed, "No, a chance. Speaking of heart, tell me the Zodiac Oath didn't work, right?" 

This was another matter he was most curious about. 

"Hahaha…so you feel that?"Immortika wrote matter-of-factly, "I've told you, your heart is no longer just a simple heart. It is the central component of your physique, and nothing can taint it, whether it's a silly oath or some forbidden spell." 

Jacob's lips curled up in a cruel smile, "You should've told me sooner. Next, the Beast of Primordial Nightmare, what it said was true?" 

"This is a whole cluster of information you are not ready to know, or you'll be even more paranoid than you already are. Nonetheless, whatever it told you was true, and it is nothing but beneficial for you. Especially that contact of servant and master, it's incredible how it was willing to lower itself to you because of your threats and special circumstances. Ignorant are truly fearless ah...

"I don't know how they let such a thing escape their clutches. Probably, it's been too long since the last Beast of Primordial Nightmare was born and killed in the cradle before it could unleash its true nightmarish horrors. 

"All you need to know is Beast of Primordial Nightmare is one of its kind and can't be two unless the existing one dies. As long as something didn't know about its true background, you'll be more than just fine. 

"In this regard, even, I envoy you luck. But there's always a catch. In this case, if another being exists that knows about its true background, you'll be hunted to the end of the universe. I guess this is your fate anyway, hahahaha…" Immortika started to laugh hysterically. 

Jacob's expression darkened as he didn't dare to take this subtle warning as trifle matter. Although he was displeased by the lack of information, he knew better than to ask and waste his energy. 

As of right now, he has no qualms about the Beast of Primordial Nightmare, but he was also not going to let it roam free before it could bring him such trouble. 

"What about the Fire and Water cores? I'm already in the unique rank with them, yet I still haven't awakened my mystic signature?" 

"Why are you asking such a thing when you've guessed it already? Only the hex core can bring you the desired result, not the substitute cores. Or try to use the other method if you're impatient." 

Jacob sighed ruefully as he had already guessed this much, "Alright, you are excused for now. I'll summon you once I start the blood consumption." 

He unsummoned the cursed book and looked in forwards in the radioactive mist and then his star watch to conjure a map. The star network was still down, but the plain map was still working fine. 

'I'm already close to the dead plains. Let's upgrade the hex core first, and then after tying some loose ends, it would be time to leave this place behind. But first…' 

A vermin transponder appeared in his hand, and he activated it. 

A few moments later, Captain Free Sword's jolly voice rang, "If it isn't our favorite, Mr. King. I thought the last time I told you to contact me after you've done with the trial plains or something urgent came up that could impress me. I even told you there's no longer a need to search for the traitor since it's been dealt with. Don't tell me you're still having a hard time completing the simple task?" 

Towards the end, his voice becomes cold. 

Jacob impassively replied, "I want to ask if the star network is down in the epic plains. Can you enter?" 

"Oh? There's such a thing? First, it's almost impossible because…" 

lightsn?v?l "Because Star Void Server is almost impossible to destroy, right?" Jacob cut him short. 

Captain Free Sword became silent for a moment before he said, "You have my attention. Tell me more." 

'So, this bastard also knew about the Star Void Server? Heh, it'll be even more easy now.' Jacob couldn't help but gloat, as he was merely testing the waters. 

"Just a few moments ago, the Star Hackers attacked the void server, and they managed to destroy it, and the trial came to a halt. Now the entire star network is down, so I was wondering if Captain and his crew can enter?" Jacob impassively stated. 

He wasn't going to say anything about him completing the trial, or it would be too much of a shock, and the sly Captain Free Sword might become vigilant. 

Before coming out of the champion space, he inquired about something from SAAI, and the answer he got gave him the idea to scheme against this bastard. Even though he had already left Autarch as a backup plan, it was taking too long, and he also wasn't sure if one puppet was enough to get rid of the entire crew of Uniques. 

Even with him in the mix, he knew Captain Free Sword had other life-preserving means, so he decided to use another trick to eliminate this threat. 

Captain Free Sword replied in astonishment, "Those crazy nuts, they really achieved it?" 

"Yes, it's announced in my star watch, and not only that, but they seemed to have gone completely mad, and they are using some atomic bombs that are affecting the entire environment. 

"Furthermore, from one of my slaves, I've got the information that the Dark City's Lord might have a Unique Star Ocean Medallion. With the trial put on stop and star network down, with Captain's help, it would be easy this way." He stated.

Captain Free Sword remained silent for some time before speaking, "If they have atomic weapons, then those crazy nuts really do have the capability to blow up the Star Void Server. But it's still astonishing that they were able to pinpoint its location. I've never thought the Epic Plains Star Hackers were capable of something that even the Unique Plains don't. 

"And if the star network is really down, then I guess the protection is gone as well. But to go against the Dark City…" He fell into silence for a moment before saying, "Alright, if there is a medallion in the Dark City, I'll support you to the best of my capabilities. I'll send ten of my best men to your aid. This should be more than enough to sweep through the entirety of Epic Plains. 

"This is your chance to prove your extraordinary worth, Mr. King. If everything goes smoothly, you'll be a part of our crew and no longer a slave. I'll broaden your horizons once you have returned victorious. Give me seven days to prepare, and I'll contact you when we are ready." Captain Free Sword gravely stated before the call ended. 

Jacob stowed away the vermin transponder as he sneered coldly, "Still not coming himself, eh? Well, if I can take down ten of his men, it would greatly reduce his power. In seven days, I'll be there!"
