Cursed Immortality

Chapter 336 Anything For Immortality…





"…. that treasure back there can help you awake a peculiar magic core? ..."

Jacob's eyes were affixed on those words as he ignored Immortika's usual impish laugh, which could go on and on and never end.

Then he suddenly closed his eyes and took a massive deep breath before exhaling it out, and when his eyes opened again, they were deadpan as he had already taken a step forward again. He was again starting to walk away in the opposite direction of the runes.

"Even if that treasure can help me awake a magic core, I'm afraid I already have such a method, and it's not laced with unknown dangers either. So, I'm content with what I have and won't fall for this unless you tell me every detail about this treasure back there and all the dangers attached to it." Jacob expressionlessly uttered.

It would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted by the allure of a treasure that can help him awake a magic core which is a confirmed deal since even Immortika has spoken. It has never spoken such words about the Art of Nature, ever.

But it didn't mean he would dive right into it like a greedy idiot who was blinded by his greed and completely overlooked the circumstances surrounding that treasure.

It was quite clear that whatever was sealed back there was sealed for a reason, and it was related to the Dark Beings on top of that. So, it was quite strange on its own that it could be used by a living like him.

Although he trusts Immortika's words, but following them blindly is another thing. Those days were now long past him, and he was no longer ignorant about the immensity of this place called the Zodiac Plains.

Even the seemingly harmless Rare Plains to him was nothing but a sham. The mutants and this hidden mine were evidence of this. So, he won't take unnecessary risks unless he had to, and this risk was simply too massive.

On the other hand, Immortika laughs even more manically before finally writing, "Impressive, impressive. For someone who longed for magic talent, you have proven yourself to be resilient. This is the last piece of information I will reveal, and after this, I will be forced into a sealing state for twelve months because I'm going against my own rules this time, so you better make your choice here and now because there won't be another chance like this, period.

"This place is called the Vortex Dark Graveyard, which could appear in a plain when the Dark Beings suffer a defeat in a Plain Trial in their territory. But the chances of it happening is less than 1%, and you, of all people, finding it is even less than zero because you are my inheritor.

"Yet not only the Vortex Dark Graveyard somehow connected this abandoned mine in the rare plains, but you even discovered it. There is really something wrong with your ridiculous luck.

"The treasure back there has no traps, and you can grab it easily. As for the nature of that treasure, it is a Dark Universal Scripture that can help you get the true Growth Type Magic Core related to me…"

Cursed Immortally suddenly vanished at this point, leaving Jacob flabbergasted as he stared at the empty space in a daze.

'Growth Type Magic Core related to Cursed Immortality?' For the first time in a while, Jacob's heartbeat races on its own.

This was no longer a matter of him taking risks and going toward the unknown. Now it was a matter of whether he could part with this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Jacob knew what kind of entity the Cursed Immortality was, and anything related to it was not something he could ignore because it reflected directly on him. Who knows just how long his journey was and when he will get a chance to acquire a growth-type magic core related to a Universal Godly Scripture? Probably never.

'Then why in the world it keeps saying it wasn't a magic book all the time, and why now of all the time revealing this fact about this growth-type magic core and take this risk? Is this Universal Scripture really that important?'

Jacob thought about all kinds of scenarios as he was now in a massive dilemma about how to proceed with this situation. This opportunity was really a windfall for him, and he might never have this chance again.

"Sigh… anything for immortality, I guess…" Jacob sighed as he lamented at his own helplessness in front of the Immortality.

He didn't know how long this journey would take or where he needed to go as only the path and light on this path was the Cursed Immortality. So, he needed to get all the tools he could get to walk on this dark path that had unknown obstacles.

Jacob turned around with deadly resolve in his eyes and started to walk toward the rune passage again. Since Immortika took the risk of getting sealed for twelve months by revealing that information, he should be fine.

As Jacob walked into the runic path, the heat started to intensify even more, and when he walked a hundred meters into that rune-filled tunnel, Jacob was now sweating profusely, and he was even forced to take off his mask and windbreaker.

Furthermore, a strange pain was now starting to develop over his head. But all of a sudden, when he walked fifty meters more, the heat suddenly started to turn down, replaced with a cold sensation.

Jacob was startled by this sudden change, and when he looked around, he discovered something extremely ghastly. Unknowingly, he was now starting over broken bones, and the tunnel had now turned into a dark space with no walls of runes or anything.

All he could see now was only one foot around himself, and his night vision was gone without a trace.

This kind of spooky darkness sent several chills down Jacob's spine as he now had no idea where in the world he was or which direction he should go.

But all of a sudden, a ghostly blue flame suddenly ignited in the eerie darkness, and like something was triggered, another blue flame lightened up, and then another and another.

Like this, these blue flames suddenly formed a dark road between them, and they stopped right in front of Jacob like this road was made for him.

But Jacob's eyes were affixed on the end of this pathway, where a book with a ghostly face etched on its cover was hovering!
