Cursed Immortality

Chapter 519 Zodiac Oath!

Nelsen didnʼt delay but quickly started to manipulate his star watch, and a few moments later, a virtual contract was displayed over his wrist.

He said, ”I want to make this official Zodiac Oath Contract with Faceless Ancient!”

The next moment, something magical happens: Jacobʼs star watch vibrates, and the same contract emerges!

Jacob was astounded because Nelsen didnʼt send him a request or anything, but by just speaking his star ID name, that contract appeared on its own!

”Zodiac Oath Contract is unlike any other virtual contact in the star network. If you have one, it can be formed from anywhere, even without the star network. You must know the other partyʼs actual name or star network ID.

”Once this contract is formed, SAAI or the world itself will bear witness to it, and no one can break it no matter where they are. Once the contract is breached, only death awaits the oathbreaker. So, itʼs safe to say that neither you nor I can do anything against each other for 20 years.

”You can edit the terms if there is any loophole. My contract will automatically be updated as well. Once you are satisfied, say, ʼIn the name of Zodiac, I hereby acknowledge this Oath!ʼ and itʼs done.” Nelsen gave a general introduction to Jacob, as he easily guessed from his reaction that he didnʼt know how it worked.

Jacob clearly didnʼt believe Nelsen and asked SAAI, ”Is it true?”

”Yes.”

”Youʼre really not trusting anyone, do you?” Nelsen sneered.

Jacob ignored him and started to read the contract, and it was not with any loophole. He wonʼt do anything harmful or scheme against Nelsen or Ellie, nor can he seek anyoneʼs help to deal with them or look for their whereabouts for 20 years.

The same goes for Nelsen and Ellie once this contract was signed!

Jacob suddenly frowned and asked, ”Wait, how did Ellie be bound by this contract since only you and I are signing it?”

Nelsen looked at him with a peculiar glint in his eyes as he said, ”Please send this contact to the parties involved in this. Change Ellie to Amiable Monk Fish!”

The next moment, ʼEllieʼ changed to ʼAmiable Monk Fishʼ in the contract.

Jacob couldnʼt help but mock, ”Youʼre really a piece of trash.”

”It was just a small error.” Nelsen, naturally, wasnʼt going to admit it.

”Take the oath. I wonʼt be going first without you two.” Jacob stated that he didnʼt dare to be careless.

Although this old man looked like he had been defeated, he was full of tricks, and Jacob couldnʼt relax even for a second.

Nelsen lips curled as he said, ”Donʼt worry, if involved parties donʼt take the pledge for 1 minute, the contract will be voided. In the name of Zodiac, I hereby acknowledge this Oath!”

At this moment, SAAIʼs voice sounded, ”Amiable Wizened Monk has taken the Zodiac Oath!”

At the bottom of the contract, Nelsenʼs name appeared.

A few moments later, SAAIʼs voice sounded again, ”Amble Monk Fish has taken the Zodiac Oath!”

Jacob finally relaxed a little and took the oath, ”In the name of Zodiac, I hereby acknowledge this Oath!”

SAAIʼs voice sounded again, ”Faceless Ancient has taken the Zodiac Oath!”

At this moment, the virtual contract turned into a streak and directly penetrated Nelsen and Jacobʼs chests!

Jacob was shocked by this, and he sensed something was gripping his heart, but the next moment, his heart suddenly beat, and that strange feeling vanished!

ʼWhat happened?ʼ Jacob was surprised and confused.

”Donʼt worry. This is the effect of the Zodiac Oath Contract. The contract will be bound to our hearts, and nothing will happen as long as no one breaks it.” Nelsen stated, as his expression was somewhat pale.

ʼThen why do I feel like my heart just removed whatever was trying to attach itself to it? Could it be the cursed heart canʼt be bound, or was it just my imagination?ʼ Jacob thought with uncertainty, but he was also secretly hoping that the former was true.

Because if the zodiac oath contract canʼt bind his heart, then didnʼt this mean this oath was meaningless to him?

Just thinking about it made Jacob extremely expectant, and he knew he had to confirm it with Immortika because this could open a new door to countless possibilities.

After all, his heart was not simple!

Nelsen didnʼt know Jacobʼs thoughts and manipulated the star watch to forward the trial condition message to Jacob before saying, ”Iʼm forfeiting my trial achievement to the Faceless Ancient!”

”Transfer has been successful!

”Faceless Ancient has been declared Sole Champion of Epic Plains!

”Please leave the champion space, Amiable Wizened Monk!”

The next moment, a dark vortex appeared behind Nelsen.

ʼIt really worked.ʼ Jacob has a sigh of relief.

Nelsen didnʼt tarry, and a silver title-less book appeared in his hand, and he threw it towards Jacob, ”This is the Scripture of Blank, I promised. Last thing, I know we donʼt see eye to eye, and we start on the wrong foot. But I want you to know it was all but a misunderstanding and a lack of judgment on our part.

”I donʼt want to be your enemy. I hope 20 years will be enough to quench your anger, and Iʼll try my best to show I want to repent. I want my daughter to live happily. Consider it a fatherly bias. She wonʼt look for you anymore.

”As a final token of my sincere apology, Iʼll give you a piece of advice. If you want to go to the Unique Plains, look out for the Star Ocean, for it is your biggest enemy, and go alone. The more companions you have, the more impossible it is to reach there.

”Thatʼs all. I hope I never see you again, and even if I did, you wonʼt be there to kill me.” Nelsen sighed ruefully before he turned around and vanished into the vortex, leaving frowning Jacob in the white space.

ʼWhat did it mean the Star Ocean is my biggest enemy and go alone? He clearly didnʼt sound like something lying. Instead, it felt as if he was telling something from experience…ʼ

Jacob grimaced as the Unique Plains became more mysterious!
