Cursed Immortality

Chapter 484 The Beast in Tower (2)

Jacob felt a metallic taste in his mouth as he was engraved in the ice tower wall after receiving that powerful punch while half of his body was covered in blue ice. Despite wearing a Basic Unique Rank Black Robe, advanced epic rank level clothes, and barriers, he still gets injured. 

Although it wasn't that bad, it was now confirmed that this monstrosity was a Unique Rank, and Jacob was in trouble. 

Furthermore, that thing also blocked his two atomic bullets from his newly built twin titan sniper rifle just in the nick of time and was even able to counterattack. 

Jacob quickly collected his thoughts, and he pushed out his body and jumped on his feet while looking gloomily at the monster. His eyes suddenly contorted when he saw purple liquid gushing out of the monster's cheek, and there was a deep wound there. 

Furthermore, the neon blue barrier that saved the monster's head from blowing up was completely gone, and a faint green mist was in the air, which was radiation from the atomic bullets. 

The monster's eyes were bloodshot and murky as it murderously glared at Jacob. 

'So, my bullets work!' Jacob shone with elation and quickly took out the Twin Titan Sniper again. 

However, the monster seemed to be prepared and didn't give Jacob time to react and wanted to kill him as soon as possible because this weak-looking sheep was a wolf in disguise. 

Almost instantly, before Jacob could pull the triggers, a chill ran down his spine, and the next moment, an icy faint blue mist oozed from the floor and the moment the mist touched Jacob's feet, they instantly froze. While right in front of him, a thick ice wall swoops up, blocking his view!

Jacob knew the monster was not going to give him another chance to take a shoot at him. He tried to move his feet, but to his horror, he was unable to escape that blue ice like it was made of iron, and he now started to feel frost directly on his feet!

Suddenly, a dangerous thought surfaced in his mind, and the next moment, "Water barricade!" Jacob instantly cast his own spell as half of his legs were now frozen. 

Jacob guessed that even though that ice mist looked normal, and if that were the case, Jacob wouldn't be too worried. But Jacob knew better since it wasn't the case because Spirit probably conjured the icy blue mist. 

After Jacob got the universal scripture from Star Chaser and the knowledge of the Witch Queen, his understanding of magic became quite deep.

He discovered after evolving into a Unique Rank Species the combat class species would awake Element Aura, which was ten times more destructive and potent than mana. While the sorcery class species would awake Element Spirit that can rival the Element Aura. 

Aura can cut through normal mana, like a knife in butter, and that's why it was used with weapons to increase their sharpness, or close-range combatants can cover their bodies with aura to turn them into weapons of destruction. While spirit could amplify magic and make it more potent and deadly. 

That's why the Union Rank Species could easily kill epic rank species while epic rank species couldn't even scratch the unique rank species as long as they are using Aura or Spirit. Only Aura or Spirit can completely block Aura attack or Spirit attack. 

In an earlier attack, the punch that Jacob blocked was covered in spirit, and that's how he suffered internal injuries despite wearing all those defensive treasures, and the blue ice left on his body was proof of it. If it were Aura, Jacob's armor would've been blasted apart.

Even though Jacob has a scripture that can help him awake the Aura of Water, the problem is that he needs to have a Unique Rank Physique to handle Aura circulation in his body. 

When an epic rank combatant achieved a Unique Rank Physique, a unique glyph would etch into the skull of the combatant called an Aura Glyph; the same goes for the sorcerer. With the different being, they would get Spirit Glyph! 

That's why the rank was called Unique Rank, and if someone wanted to achieve the next legendary rank, the secret was hidden in their unique glyphs. 

Anyhow, the fact was Jacob couldn't use Aura without an Aura Glyph or Spirit without a Spirit Glyph, while the monster in front of him could. He was using a spirit magic spell to get rid of Jacob once and for all. 

But Jacob wasn't going down that easily, and after creating the water barricade, which he knew was useless, he took out two atomic grenades and instantly threw them over the wall without caring about being continued to freeze. 

His plan was simple, and he didn't have any other way. Since the monster was using spirit magic and blocking his escape route, he was going to use these as a shield to blow the monster to smithereens or put him on the verge of death at least. 

The moment Jacob threw the grenade out, the blue mist had already turned the water around Jacob into solid ice, and now he was turning into a blue ice block! 

A painful groan escaped from Jacob's mouth as the spirit magic was making his mind feel terrifying cold, and the cold was penetrating his body, digging into his skin and inflicting pain, which was not very pleasant!

'This is truly insane, I'm fucking insane!' Jacob thought while sealed in the ice as he tried to keep his sanity and keep releasing water mana, which was instantly turned into ice once it became water because the ice spirit and ice block around him grew immensely. 

However, Jacob wanted exactly that and endured while preparing himself for the explosion in this confined space. He wanted to see that monster's face after this explosion, and when he realized that his killer moves had shielded Jacob!

The snow monster's eyes landed on the two tiny obvious filled with greenish glowing liquid, and he was confused about why that ant would risk throwing it out instead of escaping himself. 

But just as he was about to ignore it, those two grenades suddenly shimmered in blinded light that instantly covered the entire dark over like two tiny suns. 

The Puppeteer Zombie Duke, who was observing the ice tower like a hawk, saw that the entire tower turned into smithereens instantly before a blinding light appeared. 

Charlotte was also watching from a safe distance because she could clearly hear large explosions from within the tower and wondered if Jacob was really strong enough to take down the monster in the tower. The same scene flashed past before her eyes, and she didn't even have time to react. 

The next moment, the entire mountain reverberated in a volcanic explosion, and the top was fully blown off, just like a volcanic eruption!
