Cursed Immortality

Chapter 609 Victim of One Own Stupidity

Chapter 609 Victim of One Own Stupidity

Jacob ignored Dark Rose's inquiry as he let the feeling he just had simmered into his body while he waited for Nyx's news.

A few seconds later, Nyx's jolly voice rang, "I've done it! That wisp of soul vitality that I just grabbed from that woman was extremely potent, which means she was probably much more powerful than you. Furthermore, the owner of this place couldn't stop me; it seemed they had no defense against someone like me.

"Anyhow, I also discovered that this soul vitality is very pure and didn't have any lingering consciousness of the owner so that it can be directly absorbed. Now, I'm going to send this soul vitality into your soul through the nightmare dreamscape realm.

"Since your dreamscape realm is part of your soul, it should work. But if it didn't, then don't blame me." Nyx warned.

"Do it. Success or failure will depend on this. If you can really help me elevate my soul, I won't mistreat you." Jacob stated.

"Hmph, say something that I would believe. As long as you won't blind me, I'll be happy!" Nyx snorted, but a hint of anticipation was present in her voice.

Jacob didn't comment on this as he coldly waited for Nyx to start the process. Although he didn't know what kind of feeling he would have after absorbing someone else soul, he was content as long as it worked.

After all, too many things were at stake here, and he needed the Eyes of Judge to increase his strength by comprehending the Immortal Chapter.

A moment later, Jacob suddenly felt an icy sensation gushing into his mind, and it only remained for around two seconds before it vanished. But afterward, he felt like his mind suddenly felt refreshed, like he had awakened from a peaceful sleep.

"I think it worked! Do you feel it?" Nyx inquired with a hint of uncertainty.

Jacob thoughtfully replied, "I felt somewhat clear-headed. Does that count?"

"Of course, it counts, then this means it's really worked!" Nyx's jolly voice sounded.

"Then, from now on, just add my portion of the soul vitality into my soul. I have enough lifespan for now." Jacob commanded without hesitation with a hint of ecstasy. He finally found a way to evaluate his soul.

"Alright, since this experiment was a success, let's continue to collect more soul vitality from this place. If we encounter a stronger opponent like that elf earlier, can you plant your seed in her?" Jacob inquired.

"I can, actually. They are all under restriction in this place, so they don't have their usual defense. Although I can't plant the nightmare conquer seed within the beyond unique rank in the real world, things are not the same here. In fact, our goal should be to be the owner of this place.

"If I can take over this entire place, I can annex this whole setup and integrate it with your nightmare dreamscape realm. Then all the benefits will belong to us." Nyx passionately stated her grand goal.

Now that she comprehends just how easy it was to trick others into willingly giving away their souls, she would naturally want to do it herself. Furthermore, this entire place was built after a very long time, so taking over it was far easier than building one herself. But she needs strength even to begin working towards this goal.

"I like your enthusiasm, but I don't think it would be so easy just to take over this place. Don't forget to make it a reality. We need those pods and an organization like the Dark City with numerous members working for us.

"If I'm not wrong, this dreamscape realm might belong to the true leader of the Dark City, or I don't think they'll be doing this when the danger is far too great if they get exposed. If we ever come closer to taking over this place, we need the strength to overtake this person's authority in real life as well.

"Or all we'll get is an empty husk. There are too many complex factors involved in this plan. So, we can't be greedy. Let's focus on the benefits at hand. Don't forget we can't be discovered by this place's owner, or the consequence of that will be unimaginable." Jacob sternly warned.

Although Nyx's proposal was very inciting, the reality was entirely different. If he pissed off this kind of existence, he might not even be able to keep his life. So, he was not going to put this plan in motion until he was completely confident in persevering his own life.

"Tsk, tsk, here I thought the owner of the Universal Godly Scripture would be powerful. But I guess everyone is not the same." Nyx muttered with indignation as she felt like she was being tricked by Jacob.

"What was that?" Jacob coldly asked.

"Nothing! I'll follow your arrangement since our lives are connected now." Nyx quickly changed the subject.

"Hmph." Jacob scoffed; he knew only now that Nyx realized the difference between the one who captured her and him.

That person might've already completely inherited her Universal Godly Scripture while he was still stuck in the first phase. Although he didn't know if all the remaining Universal Godly Scriptures were the same as the Cursed Immortality, he was sure they wouldn't be any worse or, in fact, they might be more powerful.

So, he didn't want to get involved with any of them until he had the power to protect himself.

Afterward, Jacob continued the battles, and his next opponent turned out to be a weak goblin, which he killed with one strike. Nyx absorbed its soul vitality.

Soon, Jacob was on his tenth win streak, and the next match was going to be the Betting Match.

Just as Jacob orders to search for the next opponent, Dark Rose announces something new.

"Your next match is your 11th match after your 10 Kill Winning Streak!

"Your next match will be your First Ranking Match of the Iron League!

"A Betting Pool has been opened.

"Searching for Opponents…"

This time, it took a full five minutes before the next opponent appeared.

"Opponent has been discovered!

"Flame Calamity is entering the Arena!

"Match starts in 10 Seconds!"

When Jacob saw this person, his eyes narrowed because it was a ten-meter-tall giant with a full body glistering crimson scales armor over his body, and he was holding a long bone spear.

But this giant's most distinguished feature was the pair of white curling horns filled with crimson runic markings, and his crimson eyes were of a bloodthirsty beast with two slit pupils. A pair of folded bat-like wings were behind him.

Jacob could feel that this wasn't a normal giant. In fact, only its size matched that of a giant, while its other features were completely different. This 'giant' belonged to a race he had never encountered.

He also saw the giant's battle record of 10 Wins/ 0 Losses, just like himself. This means that this person was also new, like him.

The giant's eyes shimmered coldly as he looked at Jacob, and a hint of anger flashed past his eyes, "You lowly creature, you dare to make me raise my head?"

Jacob was startled for a moment and didn't know how to reply. But even if he knew, he wasn't planning to since he could tell this guy was too proud and conceited, so anything said to him would have a different effect. He just coldly waits for the battle to start.

Seeing Jacob was disregarding him, Flame Calamity became even more enraged, "Lowly being, you dare to reveal your position?! I'll kill you with a signal breath for your insolence!"

"How strong is he, and how long will it take for you to devour this guy's dreamscape realm?" Jacob coldly inquired as he could sense this giant was not normal and was a special breed.

"He's seemed even stronger than that woman. If that's the case, it would take me over half a year to slowly infiltrate his dreamscape realm and then a month or two to fully devour it." Nyx replied after mulling it over.

Jacob eyes turned cold as he ordered, "Plant a seed in him, this idiot is destined to die so no one will notice him gone. I don't believe that someone would suspect me by the time you completely devour his dreamscape realm. He'll be quite nutritious."

"Hehe, he's really an eyesore. I'm quite confident that no one will suspect us after all. I have a feeling that the owner of this place is not paying attention at all." Nyx happily complied.

At this moment, Dark Rose's static voice rang, "Battle Starts!"
