Cursed Immortality

Chapter 145 Enemy Alert

Although entering the 1X acceleration brought Jacob danger, it also unexpectedly hastened the process of the heart essenceʼs absorption.

It brought Jacob pain, but he could feel the power coursing through his body with every passing second.

The 1-cm infinity Curse Marked within Jacobʼs heart suddenly stirred and start expanding little by little.

This process hastened, even more, when Jacob entered the 2X acceleration after ten minutes of endurance.

However, Jacob could feel the process was almost over and was completely focused on calming his heart rate.

The cursed mark also finally stopped when it expanded 1-inch from 1 cm, and the blurry pattern within the infinity symbol also became apparent despite their blurry state, they were two symbols, ʼoʼ and ʼxʼ!

Jacob also felt a strange energy released within his bloodstream from his heart, and without any effort, his heart rate suddenly dropped until it returned to its normal state and harmonious.

”What just happened?” Jacob opened his eyes in bewilderment as he looked at the cursed immortality which was still hovering in front of him. There were still over ten minutes until his daily limit of summoning reached its end.

He opened the progress page.

-Second Level: Turn Immortal Mark into Cursed Mark

_______

ʼSo, I do cross two limits at once, again.ʼ Jacob was delighted as that strange energy was still coursing through his body, making him feel like he was in a hot spring.

At this moment, the writing in the book changed, which was clearly Immortikaʼs doing.

”You should wolf that potion while you still had the chance… heheheh…”

Jacobʼs eyes dilated and didnʼt hesitate. He took out the jar he got from A-10000 and drink two mouthfuls of titan tears.

Although he didnʼt know why Immortika had written those words, he didnʼt dare to ignore it. Because he knew this delirious book would never lie.

Just as the titan tears entered his body, Jacob felt his skin stiffening before he looked at his hands. He was shocked when he saw them visibly getting skinnier until his skin was tightly wrapped around his bonds and nerves.

It was like there werenʼt any meats in his body.

He finally understood what Immortika meant by that warning.

It was a side effect of fluid acceleration and hunger of 70%.

Jacob just burned a huge amount of energy, so it was only normal for his body to burn his muscles for that energy, and if he didnʼt react in time, he mightʼve fallen unconscious because of exhaustion.

Simply put, he couldʼve died if he didnʼt consume the titian tears to appease the burden on his body.

”Sometimes, I wonder if youʼre supposed to lead me to immortality or sudden death.” Jacobʼs hoarse voice sound filled with indignant.

”Hahahaha… I told you the way to immortality isnʼt easy as you think it is. You can die when you think youʼre the safest. Itʼs just a matter of simple omission.”

Jacob didnʼt refute and closed the annoying book, but deep down, he was still feeling grateful since Immortika just saved him. But he wonʼt say it unless he wanted to make it more annoying.

Because of the titan tears, his energy was 10% replenished while hunger was also gone by 5%. But he started feeling dizzy and quickly gulped down two more mouths full of titan tears before he moved toward the cooked A-10000.

Although Jacob now looked like skin and bones, if he unleashed his prowess, he was ten times stronger than half an hour ago.

Jacob starts eating without any restraint. He was so immersed in it that he unknowingly started crunching a common tier-12 speciesʼ bones like it was a cracker.

The strangest thing was Jacob found it quite flavorful, and no longer cared about bones or meat and ate everything without spitting out anything like a savage.

As he eats, his body quickly absorbs the nutrition, and he finally regains some meat over his bones.

In the end, his hunger was 65% decreased while he was still skinny and needed more common tier-12 meat to regain his masculine physique.

pαпdα`noνɐ1`сoМ Nevertheless, Jacob was now out of danger and more powerful than ever. He drinks one liter more titan tears to quench his reaming hunger and finally felt the full power of his 70% synchronization body with his heart.

ʼThe titan tears of this quality are only enough up to 90%, or it might exhaust at 80% since the hunger will increase.ʼ Jacob frowned as he again had a deeper understanding of his own condition.

Before, he thought this many titan tears were enough until he reached 100%, but now that he experienced hunger and energy consumption after entering 70%, he was no longer delusional.

He required that second titan tears elixir, and to make it he required to go into the rare or even rarer region.

ʼWell, if I killed the dark elf and those three other members sent here by killer skull society, I might enter 100% without any problem.ʼ Jacobʼs eyes shimmered with dark light.

He then closed his eyes to rest for a while because his next target was A-9999!

However, Jacob did not know that the moment he killed A-10000 a signal was emitted from his brain, and within 24 hours, the Killer Skull Society was alerted, and another emergency meeting was called out.

As a result,

Inside a spacious stone room, many pieces of lab equipment were placed neatly while there were three glass cells filled with green liquid, and inside those cells were three gray humanoid monsters, slumbering.

On a side, a curvaceous figure with long black hair was standing while holding a book and pen in front of another gray monster on a metal stretcher. But the difference was this humanoid monsterʼs entire torso skin was removed, and its organs were visible in front of this figure.

At this moment, the silver wristband on her wrist suddenly vibrates, breaking her focus. Her beautiful crimson eyes narrowed before she pressed on that silver wristband.

The calm expression on her breathtaking, beautiful, ebony face suddenly crumbled as her eyes dilated when she read the message on her star watch.

”Skull No. A-10000 had been killed, and the culprit might be the mysterious Faceless Ancient. Stop doing everything and rendezvous with Skull NO. A-995ʼs team and get rid of the variable as soon as possible. Failure wonʼt be acceptable!”

This was the entire content of the message.

A-9999ʼs eyes shimmered with killing intent as her red lips curled into a strange smile. ”So, you still didnʼt leave, huh? Although I donʼt know what your end goal is by coming back and daring to hinder our plan, you wonʼt survive this time, though…”

Somewhere in the rainy mountain ranges,

A-995 was walking with his small beanpole in his hand while holding an active scanner in his other hand.

Yet, at this moment, his black Star Watch suddenly vibrates.

”Hmm?” He was startled for a moment before he opened the message. It was the same message as A-9999.

He coldly sneered, ”That maggot is courting death.”

He tapped the white beanpole in his hand in anger at the group, and the next moment a slight earthquake jolted the area around A-995 and blasted some trees close to him into smithereens!

Jacob did not know that he had been discovered by the Killer Skull Society, and currently, all four members present in the uncommon region were coming toward the earthen kingdom to find him!

Today, he left the cavern and found Harrison, who was a few hundred meters away from his location.

Harrison had already gotten rid of every troll in the forbidden forest, and as per Jacobʼs order, he was keeping an eye out for intruders, so no one would disturb Jacob.

After getting more black liquid, Harrison was even more confident and wanted to earn more black liquid, so he was doing his duty sincerely.

When Jacob appeared while holding a three-meter-long bag, he felt Jacob was somewhat slimmer than the last time he saw him, but doesnʼt question him, neither he asks what Jacob did with that ʼtrollʼ.

Jacob looked at Harrison, whose build was just like the past him, and said, ”Letʼs go back to the mines. I acquired the information from that ʼtrollʼ that the secret agent who wanted to harm humanity will come in a day or two.

”So, I want you to confront that agent. But Iʼm warning you, his strength might be A-rank. Are you ready to go into the last phase of your training? If you last five minutes against that agent, itʼll prove your abilities, and Iʼll give you enough black liquid to enter A-rank.

”As for danger, you donʼt have to worry about it since Iʼll be watching your back.” Jacob confidently declared like a teacher to his student.

Harrisonʼs eyes glowed with resolution when he listened to this. He was moved by Jacobʼs care. He finally ʼunderstandsʼ Jacob was nurturing him as his personal student and teaching him the way of a hero.

Harrison thumped his chest with extreme confidence, ”Iʼll do as my lord command and get rid of the vile villain!”
